From Lenin’s Tomb
Apparently, Iranian boats “threatened” American ships. In other news, a passing whale was threatened by a sardine.
Rumors that the sardine had WMDs strapped to his gills proved unfounded.

That’s the opinion of Jim Rogers, legendary investor and co-founder of the Quantum Fund with George Soros.
“It’s going to be one of the worst recessions we’ve had in a while because we had so many excesses going into it”
“The dollar is a currency that’s terribly flawed and it’s going to be under duress for many years to come.”
He’s massively short the dollar and encouraging others to do the same. The dollar is becoming the hunted, not the hunter.

Arianna: “Clinton and her surrogates are attacking from every direction, hoping something will stick … let’s take a look at the dirty laundry list.”
She’s trying to attack Obama for being both too liberal and too conservative. Sickening, isn’t it? I expect it’ll backfire, and the sooner the better.

Just when you though the Sony BMG decision to sell non-DRM music signaled they’d finally gotten on the cluetrain, comes conclusive evidence that they haven’t.
To download non-DRM music from Sony you must first go to a record store to buy a plastic card with a code on it for each album. You then can download the music using the code.
That’s right, you have to go to a record store first… And they’re making the non-DRM music available for a whopping 37 albums to start out with.

Biofuels may not be superior if their production results in environmental destruction, pollution and damage to human health.
The Smithsonian cites a Swiss study showing that fuels made from U.S. corn, Brazilian soy and Malaysian palm oil may even be worse overall than fossil fuels. The best alternatives, according to the Swiss study, include biofuels from residual products, such as recycled cooking oil and ethanol from grass or wood.
So, let’s use corn for eating not biofuel (thus keeping food prices down) and create biofuel from other, better sources. Various methods blogged about here recently include biofuel from old tires, animal fat and renderings, and the leftovers from sugar cane processing. Thus, it can be made in small as well as mass quantities, which makes it ideal for microprocessing, and using waste materials as the fuelstock also cleans up the environment.

Lefti on the News presents a number of convincing arguments why Ron Paul is no friend of the Left.
And here’s an illuminating collection of quotes taken directly from Ron Paul’s newsletter.

Sibel Edwards was a Turkish language translator who claims she heard covert tape recordings showing that a senior State Dept. official was selling [military and nuclear] info on the black market.
After testifying in secret to Congress and seeing nothing happen, she contacted the Times of London.
The name of the official – who has held a series of top government posts – is known to The Sunday Times. He strongly denies the claims.
Edmonds said: “He was aiding foreign operatives against US interests by passing them highly classified information, not only from the State Department but also from the Pentagon, in exchange for money, position and political objectives.”
She also says the FBI is gathering info against senior Pentagon officials “including household names” for the same crimes.
In researching this article, The Sunday Times has talked to two FBI officers (one serving, one former) and two former CIA sources who worked on nuclear proliferation. While none was aware of specific allegations against officials she names, they did provide overlapping corroboration of Edmonds’s story.
One of the CIA sources confirmed that the Turks had acquired nuclear secrets from the United States and shared the information with Pakistan and Israel. “We have no indication that Turkey has its own nuclear ambitions. But the Turks are traders. To my knowledge they became big players in the late 1990s,†the source said.
And this tidbit from Let Sibel Edmonds Speak.
Over at Sibel’s website, she has published “Sibel Edmonds’ State Secrets Privilege Gallery” - twenty one photos of people.
Sibel doesn’t say anything about the photos - or the people in the photos - but we can reasonably presume that they are the 21 guilty people in her case.
Photo #1 is the Prince of Darkness himself, Richard Perle.
Ooo-kay now, so what are the possibilities? a) US security has been penetrated deeply. Traitors exist in high places. b) The US government wanted to get the info to Israel and Pakistan through back channels, and if someone did some income supplementation along the way, well, nobody saw nothing. c) This is the surfacing of some wheels within wheels nastiness and backstabbing between FBI, CIA, and other intelligence agencies. d) It’s all a bunch of hooey and she’s a nut case.
I lean towards b) with a bit of c) tossed in. But given the Alice in Wonderland down the rabbit hole nature of things like this, who knows. What say you?
