DEMOCRACY? NOPE, IT'S ALLAH FOR US!

And so they waited while Abu Omar lit his pipe, turned the crank and sat to enjoy the music on his broken bed, in his ruined room, in his destroyed home, in his obliterated city, in his fractured country. “He played one of his favorite songs,” Eid adds, an old Arabic tune by Syrian singer Mohamed Dia al-Din. “He is so attached to his past and to the things that he always cherished and loved, and without them he will lose his identity,” Eid says...

The above sentimental tripe was in TIME; the same folk who no doubt got all orgasmic about that Arab Spring thing a few years back. What is it about the liberal tendency; why do they always exhibit a reality bypass? 
Anyone who had some first grader knowledge of Arabs and the middle east could have told Time, Newsweek and the rest of the reality lite brigade, that millions of loonies let loose to peddle their 50 shades of 7th century Islam, wouldn't turn into some cozy Sunday supplement read.
However, the liberal tendency never ever learn; hence open border Europe.

WHAT ARE FRB'S DADDY?

 FRB's are fast radio bursts originating from distant galaxies, billions of light-years away. They are mysterious and rarely detected bursts of radio emission that have durations of milliseconds. These events emit as much energy in one millisecond as the Sun emits in 10,000 years, but the physical phenomenon that causes them is still totally unknown.
The first FRB was discovered in 2007, although it was actually observed some six years earlier, in archival data from a pulsar survey of the Magellanic Clouds. Only 18 FRBs have ever been detected to date and mostly give off only a single burst and don't flash repeatedly. Some of the brainy folk have even speculated that some super advanced alien intelligence may have built something which could power interstellar light sails.
The amount of power involved would be sufficient to push a payload of a million tons, or about 20 times the largest cruise ships on Earth.“That’s big enough to carry living passengers across interstellar or even intergalactic distances,” Dr. Lingam said. To power a light sail, the transmitter would need to focus a beam on it continuously.

Observers on Earth would see a brief flash because the sail and its host planet, star and galaxy are all moving relative to us. As a result, the beam sweeps across the sky and only points in our direction for a moment. Repeated appearances of the beam, which were observed but cannot be explained by cataclysmic astrophysical events, might provide important clues about its artificial origin.
Hmm...even if some alien civilization did build this baby to power interstellar light sails, or reheat a pot of Irish stew; we are looking back in time to something that was conceived billions of years before our solar system even existed.

AMERICA'S HEALTH CARE DEBACLE!

'Affordable Care Act revision would reduce insured numbers by 24 million, CBO projects', so writes the Washington Post.
But shouldn't the real and only story worth discussing among Americans is why is it the only democracy in the western hemisphere that thinks the health of its citizens should be regarded as a profit making enterprise?
Health care and how it would be funded in the UK, ceased to be an issue 70 years ago with the founding of the NHS; the National Health Service. There are also private health companies with their own hospitals etc which many UK citizens are prepared to pay a monthly subscription - or just pay for a one off procedure. Perhaps a unique feature of the UK system is that one will find the very same consultants and doctors working in the NHS also in private health care practice.

To fund health care free at the point of entry in the UK, everyone pays into a common pot on a sliding scale, dependent on ones gross income. And yes, it's the government who collect the moolah; but here's how it works.

Each hospital is given a sum of money dependent on certain criteria: e.g. size of hospital, whether a specialist facility, location, in a city, etc. It is then up to the management of each health facility to budget for the needs of that particular hospital or GP practice; NOT the government.

American's seem to choke on the idea of government as tax collector around issues of health; but doesn't the US government act as tax collector to divvy up for defense etc? Do Americans call that socialism? Nope. So what's their problem when it comes to anything related to health?
There is something rather 19th century capitalist thinking in America that everything should turn a profit; but in the 21st century, health care really shouldn't be one of them. 

WHEN YOUR PANTS ARE SMARTER THAN YOU!

 For $15.3 billion, Intel Corp said on Monday that it has agreed to buy the Israeli company, Mobileye; a Jerusalem based developer of advanced vision and driver assistance systems. Intel hopes this will position the company as a leading technology player in the fast-growing self-driving car market.
Mobileye develops the sensors and artificial intelligence that allow a vehicle’s on-board computer to essentially know where it is in relation to other vehicles, pedestrians and the surroundings - the key technologies needed for cars to eventually safely drive themselves. The deal, the largest ever purchase of an Israeli high-tech company, was hailed across Israel as a sign of the country’s technological prowess.
What a future: not only governments and smart underpants telling you off, the car will have some smarmy sounding woman going tut, tut, tut if you even think about taking the wheel. Oh...I forgot...there won't be one! And I read somewhere some geek "expert" wittering about AI and no more traffic jams in LA. Yeah, right; this I must see. 

“Congratulations to Mobileye!  PM Netanyahu tweeted.

ISLAMIC STATE BURGER, ANYONE?

Islamic State is teaching its followers to eat non-Muslims; also Musy folks who have wandered off message a tad. Yep... just when you may have thought Mohammed's death cult crew had done it all, they've gone opened a cannibal franchise. However, eating “infidels” and back sliders has precedents throughout Islamic history.
Take one, Khalid bin al-Walid (642 A.D.). Dubbed the “Sword of Allah” by Muhammad himself, as al-Walid's  prowess in the barbarian plus departments were legend.
Indeed, Khalid the Carver holds a revered position among present day jihadi groups; not only for butchery skills, his yummy kebab special was the talk of the tents.
A chap called, Malik was made an example of. First he was slaughtered, then his wife raped by you-know-who. It was said that Malik’s hair created such a blaze that the meat was thoroughly cooked! [From Muslim historian al-Tabari’s multi-volume chronicle, al-bidaya w’al nihaya (“the Beginning and the End”)
Next time some liberal vegans need a good slap-up with a difference, take 'em for a reality check lunch.

Hands up if you want the big Malik, fries
and mayo, before
 going BOOM for Allah?

EUROSTAN A COMIN' !

Shooting the messenger is now the norm in the E.U. If anyone now dares to exposed Islam for a death cult masquerading as a religion that it surely is, expect to be burned at the political stake.

I'm no fan of  Marie Le Pen; but by lifting her immunity while she is running for president of France, the European Parliament is sending the clear signal that publicizing the truth about the crimes of Islamic State - rather than being received as a warning about what is surely coming to Europe - will get the messenger silenced by Islam's appeasing, totalitarian minded politicians.

Facebook, Google, Twitter et al are all for free speech; as long as it corresponds to their obvious left of centre bias. Their thought police? Hand chosen comrade Lefties with a PC bible at hand and some very dodgy software of theirs. Soros the Sorcerer must be one happy bastard!

Jeez, for a mo I must have drifted off and thought
 I was being tried at Nuremberg.

ROLL UP; IT'S THE MATTIS & PATTERSON SHOW!

Secretary of Defense Mattis’ pick for undersecretary of defense for policy is Anne Patterson? Did I read right? Ain't she Barry H. Obama's Islam friendly bitch?
As ambassador to Egypt between 2011 and 2013, Patterson worked closely with now booted-from-office Egyptian Prez Mohammed Morsi and his Islamist government. 
So was she top of the pops with Arab Springers? Not quite. In fact, if she had allowed herself to be a show ground Aunt Sally, she would have had more shoes heaved at her than a years out-put from a Chinese sweat shop. 
What the fuck is Mattis thinking about! Or perhaps he likes his ladies as dry as desert rat road kill. 

And as I'm on the question of WHY; why are there dozens of sack-able, treacherous Obama lackeys still not had their pink slips yet! Struth!!!
