Überleben mit Erneuerbaren Energien Wie hoch würde der Meeresspiegel steigen, wenn auch das Eis am Südpol schmilzt?
Wolf von Fabeck:
Die weitgehenden Vorschläge des SFV sind nur vor dem Hintergrund der drohenden Klimakatastrophe verständlich
Der Nordpol ist bald eisfrei
Von der Öffentlichkeit weitgehend unbemerkt ist die Eiskappe über dem Nordpol immer dünner und löchriger geworden.
Jetzt wird berichtet, dass Eisbären ertrinken, weil sie kein Eis mehr finden, auf dem sie sich ausruhen können - ein weiterer Aspekt der Klimakatastrophe.
Politisch korrekt heißt es ja "Klimawandel", ... also sagen wir lieber, ein Aspekt des Klimawandels.
Beim Abschmelzen der nördlichen Polkappe ist der Meeresspiegel nicht angestiegen denn beim "ewigen" Eis am Nordpol handelte es sich um schwimmendes Eis.
Anders würde es sich verhalten, wenn Eis abschmilzt, das auf dem Erdboden aufliegt, z.B. das Grönlandeis oder das Festlandeis am Südpol.
Mit dieser Gefahr wollen wir uns hier befassen.
Was nicht im amtlichen IPCC-Report 2007 zu lesen ist.
Wer sich über Fragen des Klimawandels informieren will, greift gerne zum jeweils letzten IPCC-Report.
00.000.1988 Das IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) wurde von den Vereinten Nationen gegründet.
Seine Berichte fassen die Beiträge hunderter von Wissenschaftlern aus aller Welt zusammen.
Die Themenzusammenfassungen werden von den entsendenden Regierungen stark beeinflusst.
Der Endbericht muss einstimmig verabschiedet und von 154 Regierungen gebilligt werden - darunter auch von ölreichen Staaten wie Saudi-Arabien oder von Rekord-Energieverbrauchern wie den USA.
Was im IPCC-Report an "Veränderungen" steht, ist sozusagen das Mindeste, auf das wir uns einrichten müssen.
Neue dramatische Erkenntnisse einzelner Wissenschaftler haben erst dann überhaupt eine Chance, in den Endbericht aufgenommen zu werden,
wenn sie unwiderlegbar - mit an Sicherheit grenzender Wahrscheinlichkeit vorhergesehen werden können.
Wir haben uns die IPCC-Zusammenfassung des Alfred Wegener Instituts angesehen.
Dort findet man zum Abschmelzen der Eisschilde in Grönland und in der Antarktis nur zwei kurze Anmerkungen:
Würde das Grönlandeis vollständig abschmelzen, so würde der Meeresspiegel weltweit etwa um 7 Meter ansteigen.
Was aber geschehen würde, wenn die zehnmal größeren Eismassen der Antarktis abschmelzen würden, dazu findet man nur den beunruhigenden Satz:
"Allerdings gibt es eine erhebliche Unsicherheit hinsichtlich der weiteren Entwicklung des grönländischen und des antarktischen Eisschilds,
hier kann ein höherer Beitrag zum zukünftigen Anstieg (des Meeresspiegels) nicht ausgeschlossen werden."
Warum der IPCC-Bericht den Antarktis-Aspekt nicht weiter und genauer verfolgt, liegt an der Prognose-Unsicherheit.
Wie wahrscheinlich oder unwahrscheinlich das Abschmelzen des antarktischen Festlandseises ist, darüber konnten die Beteiligten offenbar keine Einigung erzielen + deshalb schweigen sie lieber.
Seriös bleiben, Panikmache vermeiden, heißt ihre Devise. Hier zeigt sich eine gefährliche Schwäche des IPCC-Verfahrens.
Dass in Fragen der Sicherheit andere Verfahren sinnvoller sind, lässt sich am Beispiel der Hauptuntersuchung eines Reisebusses durch den TÜV zeigen:
Der Prüfer stellt fest, dass wichtige Teile des Fahrgestells Rostnarben aufweisen.
Niemand wird ihn der Panikmache bezichtigen, wenn er das (äußerst kostspielige) Auswechseln der angerosteten Teile verlangt,
obwohl er nicht genau vorhersagen kann, ob und gar wann das Fahrgestell endgültig den Dienst versagt.
Die größte Festland-Eismasse der Welt liegt am Südpol

In der Miozän-Pliozän-Warmzeit wurden die Ozeane durchschnittlich nur zwei bis drei Grad Celsius wärmer.
Doch auch relativ kleine Erwärmungen können größere Folgen zeitigen als bisher vermutet.
"Was wir gelernt haben ist, dass das Schelfeis ein hochdynamisches System ist. Das hätten wir nicht gedacht", sagte Niessen.
Dies müsse man in künftige Klimamodelle einbauen.
"Das ist die Botschaft dieses Bohrkerns."
Der Mensch, so scheint es, unterschätzt bislang auch die Auswirkungen kleiner Erwärmungen noch.

Erstmals Einblicke in die Verhältnisse vor 5 Millionen Jahren
"Diesmal konnten wir die Schichten zwischen fünf und zwölf Millionen Jahre erbohren", sagte Andrill-Mitglied Viereck-Götte zu SPIEGEL ONLINE.
Besonders der Einblick in die Vereisungsgeschichte der jüngsten fünf Millionen Jahre sei überraschend und neu. Bislang fehlten vergleichbare Daten.
Viereck-Götte spricht von einem "erschreckenden Ergebnis": "Die Eiskappen sind wesentlich mobiler und sensibler, als wir es vermutet hatten."
"Dass das Meer hier fast eine Million Jahre eisfrei war, ist völlig neu", sagte Viereck-Götte.
Zudem steht das Abschmelzen vor rund fünf Millionen Jahren im Kontext eines prähistorischen Klimawandels:
Während der sogenannten Miozän-Pliozän-Erwärmung müsse in der Antarktis ein "massives Abschmelzen" stattgefunden haben.
Die Ursache klingt indes alles andere als massiv:
Aus Isotopenuntersuchungen von unterschiedlichen Orten weltweit wissen Paläoklimatologen, dass sich damals die weltweite Durchschnittstemperatur im Meer um 2-3 Grad Celsius erhöhte - eine scheinbar kleine Veränderung. Dennoch führte sie dem neuen Andrill-Bohrkern zufolge zur eisfreien Ross-See.

28.Feb.2007 Nicholson Downplays High Numbers Of Injured Vets: ‘A Lot Of Them Come In For Dental Problems’ - Faiz Comments
Through the lens of his own personal recovery from a traumatic brain injury suffered in Iraq, ABC’s Bob Woodruff last night examined the plight of military families dealing with injuries to their loved ones.
While the Department of Defense reports that there have been about 23,000 nonfatal battlefield casualties in Iraq, Woodruff reported — through an internal VA document — that more than 200,000 veterans have sought medical care for various ailments.
When Woodruff confronted VA Secretary Jim Nicholson about the disparity in the administration’s figures, Nicholson responded that Americans are probably “surprised to know that 200,000 come to the VA for some kind of medical treatment. That’s probably more than they think.” But Nicholson quickly downplayed the high numbers, claiming a lot of veterans simply “come in for dental problems.” Watch it:
Nicholson’s attempts to diminish the seriousness of the issue are insulting. According to the VA internal report, the injuries afflicting veterans are quite serious in nature:
Mental disorders: 73,000
Diseases of nervous system: 61,000
Signs of ill-defined conditions: 7,000
Diseases of musculoskeletal system: 87,000.
Despite the increasing numbers of wounded and injured veterans seeking care, the Bush administration has laid out plans to cut funding for veterans’ health care two years from now. Transcript: (more…)
28.Feb.2007 Courthouse ‘abuzz’ over Libby jurors’ ‘mystery note.’ - Nico Comments
“The federal courthouse near the U.S. Capitol is abuzz this morning, with everyone speculating about the contents of a mystery note jurors in the Lewis ‘Scooter’ Libby trial sent to Judge Reggie Walton as they suspended deliberations yesterday afternoon. In a note to lawyers for both sides, Walton said the jurors had a ‘question’ that he would address in court at 9:30 a.m. today. Willing says speculation is rampant, with observers wondering whether the question is about the law, the testimony or the evidence. As one U.S. marshal suggested, the question could also be along the lines of ‘What do we do if we can’t come to a verdict?‘”

Deutsche Telekom is in the process of rolling out a new fiber network that will serve the 50 largest German cities by the end of 2007 and convinced the German parliament to pass a law that would keep the competition from being able to lease its lines. The EC says that's a no-go: 'The EC believes that the German law would make it more difficult for competitors to enter the German market. More importantly, it runs contrary to an EC-endorsed recommendation that Deutsche Telekom be forced to open up its network — including the new fiber deployment — to competitors.'"

You might want to read this post for background. In its inimitable fashion, the New York Times begins with this: The Iraqi cabinet approved a draft of a law on Monday that would set guidelines for nationwide distribution of oil revenues and foreign investment in the immense oil industry. The endorsement reflected a major agreement among the country's ethnic and sectarian political blocs on one of Iraq's most divisive issues. The draft law approved by the cabinet allows the central government to distribute oil revenues to the provinces or regions based on population, which could lessen the economic concerns of the rebellious Sunni Arabs, who fear being cut out of Iraq's vast potential oil wealth by the dominant Shiites and Kurds. Most of Iraq's crude oil reserves lie in the Shiite south and Kurdish north.And almost at ... Source: https://powerofnarrative.blogspot.com/2007/02/slowly-going-insane.html

Soldiers said an official told them “they must follow their chain of command when asking for help with their medical evaluation paperwork, or when they spot mold, mice or other problems in their quarters.”
“In the most definitive statement in years,” Mike McConnell, the new director of national intelligence, said yesterday that “ Osama bin laden is in Pakistan actively re-establishing al Qaeda training camps .” He also admitted to the Senate that the “term ‘civil war’ accurately describes key elements of the Iraqi conflict.”

28.Feb.2007 Glenn Beck Claims Olbermann Is ‘Killing…The World’s Democracy,’ ‘Smacks Of…McCarthyism’ - Nico Comments
MSNBC host Keith Olbermann is profiled in this month’s issue of Rolling Stone. In the piece, Olbermann shares his thoughts on right-wing Headline News host Glenn Beck:
A wolf in sheep’s clothing. The very dangerously bigoted guy who is selling himself as a pragmatic philosopher. I don’t think he sees his own bigotry. There’s something about him that suggests that, one night, he’ll say something that will cost him his career in television.
Glenn Beck responded tonight, calling Olbermann an “intolerant ideologue” whose ideas “smack of the same McCarthyism [Edward R.] Murrow fought so valiantly against.” Beck added, “Hey, Keith, you’re not saving the world’s democracy; you’re killing it, my friend, by trying to limit the marketplace of ideas to only those that reflect your own.”
Watch it:
Beck said tonight that his numerous inflammatory comments aren’t due to his right-wing point of view, but are merely a sign that he is “not perfect” and “struggl[ing] to find the answers to the issues that we face — on my own.” Some lowlights from Beck’s “struggle”:
The anti-gay slur “faggot” is nothing more than “a naughty name.” [1/23/07]
“What happened to the Duke lacrosse team was practically a lynching without the rope. And for the first time in my life, Mr. Oreo Cookie without the chocolate on the outside can understand why people celebrated when O.J.

28.Feb.2007 Paper calls on Bachmann to explain conspiracy theory. - Nico Comments
This month, Rep. Michelle Bachmann (R-MN) famously told her local St. Cloud Times that she knows of a secret plan by Iran to partition Iraq + turn half of the country into a “terrorist safe haven zone” called the “Iraq State of Islam.” Today, the St. Cloud Times said she “needs to fully explain either how she knows of a plan to split Iraq in half, or if she was talking over her head — way over her head — in making that statement.”
Once the national media picked up on the piece, Bachmann late last week tried to explain her comments by issuing a written statement that began with “I am sorry if my words have been misconstrued …” and became even more vague from there.
The problem here is Bachmann’s statements are recorded. There really is nothing to misconstrue, nor even misunderstand. She simply needs to explain what she said.
If it’s true, where did she get her information? (Remember, she did say she had received “classified information on the war effort” during a Pentagon briefing in late January.)
If it’s not true, what was she trying to accomplish with her podcast comments? …
The questions are really very simple. Just answer them.
28.Feb.2007 Bush nominates Swift Boat funder as ambassador. - Nico Comments
President Bush has nominated Sam Fox, a major right-wing donor who gave $50,000 to the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, to be ambassador to Belgium. Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) “grilled” Fox today during his confirmation hearing:
“Might I ask you what your opinion is with respect to the state of American politics as regards the politics of personal destruction?” Kerry asked near the end of Fox’s hearing before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
Fox, one of the nation’s most generous contributors to Republican candidates and causes, said he is concerned that politics “has become mean and destructive.”
Fox said he didn’t recall who asked him to give to Swift Boat Veterans and said both sides of the political debate contribute to groups known as 527s.
But Kerry said the incident raised questions about Fox’s fitness to serve as an ambassador. …
It is not clear whether Kerry’s concerns will pose an obstacle to Fox’s nomination.
28.Feb.2007 Fox’s John Gibson Attacks The ‘Great Left-Wing Slime Machine Called ThinkProgress’ - Think Progress Comments
Yesterday, ThinkProgress noted that Fox News host John Gibson had accused reporters of “news-guy snobbery” for covering the Iraq war instead of Anna Nicole Smith. Mocking ’s Anderson Cooper, Gibson said, “Oh, ‘There’s a war on! There’s a war on!’ Maybe, just maybe, people are a little weary, Mr. Cooper, of your war coverage + they’d like a little something else.”
Today, Gibson responded, claiming he had been the victim of a “purposeful and malicious misinterpretation” by the “great left-wing slime machine called ThinkProgress.org.” But Gibson’s monologue only confirmed what we had reported. He repeated again today that reporters who downplay Anna Nicole coverage in favor of Iraq have a “snobby attitude.”
Watch it:
Gibson said today, “People might want a break from the war, to watch the drama in a story like Anna Nicole.”
We aren’t opposed to news anchors like Gibson dedicating some coverage to Anna Nicole Smith, but we do believe that referencing her 300 % more than Iraq — as Fox News did — betrays your obligation to present balanced coverage on the important matters of the day. For his part, Gibson has featured stories on Anna Nicole Smith every single day since her death on Feb. 8 — that’s 19 days straight, a humiliating feat.

28.Feb.2007 Follow-up: Post reports support for Murtha plan. - Nico Comments
The Washington Post editorial page has condemned Rep. John Murtha’s (D-PA) plan to increase support for the overstretched U.S. military and restrain Bush’s Iraq escalation. Yesterday, ThinkProgress noted that the Post had released a new poll showing strong support for Murtha’s plan — but no mention of this support was made in the paper’s coverage of the poll. Today, the Post published a new front-page story with the following:
There was clear support, however, for the kinds of conditions proposed by Rep. John P. Murtha (D-Pa.), who wants to establish requirements for the training and resting of military units that would have the effect of limiting the number of troops available to send to Iraq.
Murtha’s plan has drawn fire in the House, including from some of his Democratic colleagues, after it was announced on a liberal Web site. The Post-ABC News poll, which did not associate the plan with Murtha, found that 58 % of Americans said they support such new rules. Even some Americans, 21 %, who supported the president’s troop increase said they would favor rules for training and resting troops.

They should do a show where torture backfires.”
28.Feb.2007 Snow Trumpets U.S. Troop Readiness: ‘Unprecedented In Time of Warfare’ - Payson Comments
The U.S. military is in the midst of a readiness crisis, exacerbated by President Bush’s escalation of forces in Iraq. Just yesterday, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Peter Pace warned in a classified report to Congress that the military is so overstretched in Iraq and Afghanistan that there is a “significant” risk that the U.S. military won’t be able to respond adequately if another world crisis unfolds.
During today’s press briefing, reporters pressed Tony Snow about the strained military. “What you have seen, actually,” Snow claimed, “is a nimbleness when it comes to trying to do force protection, I think, probably unprecedented in a time of warfare.”
Watch it:
Actually, the U.S. Army’s preparedness for war “has eroded to levels not witnessed by our country in decades.” Virtually all of the U.S.-based Army combat brigades are “rated as unready to deploy,” Army officials say + a recent Pentagon survey found that troops in Iraq and Afghanistan suffer from chronic shortages of armored vehicles, heavy weapons + communications equipment.
Tony Snow today frequently pointed out that U.S. troops serving in combat are doing a heroic job. That’s absolutely true. But as President Bush reminded us back 00.000.2000:
To point out that our military has been overextended, taken for granted and neglected, that’s no criticism of the military. That is criticism of a president and vice president and their record of neglect. Transcript: (more…)

28.Feb.2007 Gen. Wesley Clark: Escalation Will Empower Iran - Amanda Comments
In his Jan. 10 address to the nation, Bush cited Iran’s growing influence in Iraq as a key argument for escalating U.S. troop presence. “Iran is providing material support for attacks on American troops. We will disrupt the attacks on our forces. We’ll interrupt the flow of support from Iran and Syria,” Bush said.
Last night on Fox News’s O’Reilly Factor, Gen. Wesley Clark said that using escalation to counter Iran is a “fundamentally flawed” strategy. “What is actually happening with the surge strategy is the Shiite militia have gone underground and the U.S. troops are going to concentrate against the Sunnis. The actual impact of the surge strategy is likely to be that we deliver total control of Baghdad to the Shiites sooner rather than later.” In other words, if anything, the escalation will end up empowering Iran.

28.Feb.2007 Lieberman: Criticism Of Administration’s Iran Intelligence Is ‘Unwarranted’ - Faiz Comments
Sen. Joseph Lieberman (I-CT) said today that he is upset that critics have been questioning the administration’s intelligence on Iran, calling the reaction “unwarranted.” Lieberman said the “danger point” learned from the criticism is that the media and politicians reacted with “suspicion.” “I wouldn’t start with suspicion,” Lieberman said.
Lieberman also encouraged the intelligence community to push their conclusions further and complained that there has been a reluctance of people in the administration to do so. He spoke out against what he sees as “a kind of defensiveness — I dare not call it timidity” of the intelligence community due to incorrect judgments made in the lead-up to Iraq.
Watch it:
Skepticism is entirely justified. The White House stated without evidence that the highest levels of the Iranian government were responsible for weapons transfers to Iraqi insurgents, but later conceded that the intelligence went “a little too far.” Prodded by bloggers, the media has begun to assert “intelligent skepticism” on Iran.
A Senate Intelligence Committe inquiry on pre-war Iraq intelligence found that more action was needed to “challenge assumptions and group think.”
Lieberman’s approach dooms Congress to repeating its previous failure. Transcript: (more…)

Doch diese Nahrungsergänzungen sind nicht immer und vor allem nicht in unbegrenzter Menge gut für den Körper. Die Vitamine A und E sowie Betakarotin könnten die Lebenserwartung sogar verkürzen, schreiben Wissenschaftler um Goran Bjelakovic von der Universitätsklinik Kopenhagen jetzt in der aktuellen Ausgabe der Fachzeitschrift " Journal of the American Medical Association".
Die Mediziner verglichen in einer sogenannten Meta-Analyse die Ergebnisse von insgesamt 68 Studien mit rund 230.000 Teilnehmern. Dabei werteten sie aus, ob die Vitamine A, C, E, Betakarotin und das Spurenelement Selen einen Einfluss auf die Lebenserwartung der teilnehmenden Probanden hatten. Zunächst konnten die Forscher keinen solchen Zusammenhang finden.

"Jeder von Bomben getötete Afghane, egal ob Kämpfer oder Zivilist, produziert mindestens zwei neue Kämpfer", fasste im Herbst 2006 der US-Offizier Chris Cavoli seine Erfahrungen in der Provinz Kunar zusammen. Eine militärische Offensive gegen die Männer von Mullah Dadullah würde dem neuen Star der Taliban folglich nur in die Hände spielen.
"Unsere Quellen werden nie versiegen", sagt er selbstsicher auf einem seiner vielen Propagandavideos.

Erst kürzlich haben die Amerikaner selbst an der Legende um Dadullah mitgestrickt. Nach einer Operation in der Grenzregion lancierten Geheimdienstler die Nachricht an die Medien, man habe Dadullah und einige seiner engsten Anhänger getötet. Es dauerte nur einen halben Tag, bis sich Dadullah per Satellitentelefon auf al-Dschasira meldete. "Er ist immer irgendwie erreichbar und liebt das Spiel mit den Journalisten", sagt Rahimullah Yusufzai, der selbst ab und an mit Dadullah spricht. Dass die Signale der Thuraya-Telefone geortet werden können, scheint Dadullah nicht zu ängstigen. Er fühlt sich unangreifbar.

From the paper: "In spite of the importance of antimicrobial resistance, we show that the actual word 'evolution' is rarely used in the papers describing this research. Instead, antimicrobial resistance is said to 'emerge,' 'arise,' or 'spread' rather than 'evolve.' Moreover, we show that the failure to use the word 'evolution' by the scientific community may have a direct impact on the public perception of the importance of evolutionary biology in our everyday lives... It has been repeatedly rumored (and reiterated by one of the reviewers of this article) that both the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation have in the past actively discouraged the use of the word 'evolution' in titles or abstracts of proposals so as to avoid controversy."

27.Feb.2007 Bacteria To Protect Against Quakes - kdawson 53+ Comments Roland Piquepaille writes
"If you live near the sea, chances are high that your home is built over sandy soil. And if an earthquake strikes, deep and sandy soils can turn to liquid with disastrous consequences for the buildings built above them. Now, US researchers have found a way to use bacteria to steady buildings against earthquakes by turning these sandy soils into rocks. 'Starting from a sand pile, you turn it back into sandstone,' the chief researcher explained. It is already possible to inject chemicals into the ground to reinforce it, but this technique can have toxic effects on soil and water. In contrast, the use of common bacteria to 'cement' sands has no harmful effects on the environment. So far this method is limited to labs and the researchers are working on scaling their technique. Here are more references and a picture showing how unstable ground can aggravate the consequences of an earthquake."

27.Feb.2007 Bush Meets With Anti-Semite Who Celebrated The Killing Of American Soldiers - Nico Comments
President Bush reportedly met yesterday with Walid Jumblatt, a member of the Lebanese Parliament who has repeatedly called for U.S.-backed regime change in Syria.
After visiting the White House, Jumblatt addressed the neoconservative American Enterprise Institute, which wields significant influence within the administration.
“Many people say there won’t be a stable Lebanon without regime change in Syria,” Jumblatt said, adding that he “urged the Bush administration to aid opposition groups fighting the rule” of Syrian President Assad.
Jumblatt’s meeting with the White House is notable not just because of his radical foreign policy views.
In the past, Jumblatt has cheered the deaths of American soldiers in Iraq, referred to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice as “oil-colored,” and claimed the real axis of evil is one of “oil and Jews.”
– “ We are all happy when U.S. soldiers are killed [in Iraq] week in and week out. The killing of U.S. soldiers in Iraq is legitimate and obligatory.” [Link]
– “The oil axis is present in most of the U.S. administration, beginning with its president, vice-president + top advisers, including (Condoleezza) Rice, who is oil-colored, while the axis of Jews is present with Paul Wolfowitz, the leading hawk who is inciting (America) to occupy and destroy Iraq.” [Link]
– “In November 2003, the United States revoked Jumblatt’s diplomatic visa for wishing out loud that Wolfowitz had been killed in a Baghdad rocket attack .” [Link]
While the White House has yet to comment on the Jumblatt’s visit, his regime change talk yesterday “drew a round of applause from the AEI audience.”

27.Feb.2007 Change in Hijacking Response Policy - June 2001 - BG https://kysor.blogspot.com/2007/02/will-america-face-truth-about-911.html
01.Jun,2001 the US Joint Chiefs of Staff issued a new order regarding cases of aircraft piracy, i.e., hijackings.
The new order (CJCSI 3610.01A), signed by Vice Admiral S. A. Fry, Director of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,
canceled the existing order (CJCSI 3610.01)
that had been in effect
00.Jul.1997-01.Jun,2001 -since-.
When I learned about this, recently,
I became intrigued.
The date of the new order,
just three months prior to 9/11,
seemed too near that fateful day to be mere coincidence.
I should mention that I have always been skeptical of the official 9/11 narrative.
The
00.Jun.2001 order was like a red flag drawing attention to an insistent question:
Why did the US military alter its hijack policy a few months before 9/11?
Why, indeed?
When I first examined the document, which, by the way, is still posted on the internet, my excitement increased.[i]
The order states that when hijackings occur the military's operational commanders at the pentagon + at the North American Aerospace Command (NORAD)
must contact the secretary of defense for approval and further instruction.
At that time, of course, this was Donald Rumsfeld.
Was the new order, therefore, evidence of a policy change made for the purpose of engineering a stand-down on 9/11?
This was plausible, assuming that a group of evildoers within the Bush administration wanted a terrorist plot to succeed for their own twisted reasons.
And what might those reasons be?
Well, obviously, to create the pretext for a much more aggressive US foreign policy that the American people would not otherwise support.
We know, for instance, that the plans to invade Afghanistan were already sitting on President Bush's desk on 9/11, awaiting his signature.

27.Feb.2007 Swift Boat Vets Reunite To Discuss ‘The Left’s Repeated Campaign Against The American Soldier’ - Faiz Comments
On Thursday, the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) begins its annual conference.
The Washington Times writes, “One of the more timely titles of CPAC’s slate of panel discussions: ‘The Left’s Repeated Campaign Against the American Soldier.’”
The panel will reunite operatives from the Swift Boat Veterans For Truth, a group that dedicated itself 00.000.2004 to attacking Senator John Kerry’s record during and after his service in Vietnam.
CPAC’s website indicates that the panel participants will be: Ret. Col. George E. “Bud” Day, Mary Jane McManus, Carlton Sherwood + Rep. Sam Johnson (R-TX).
Johnson was on the House floor last week attacking Iraq war critics relentlessly for “cutting funding of the troops,”
while conveniently forgetting that he “wholeheartedly supported withholding funds” to end the U.S. involvement in Bosnia 00.000.1995.
Some background on the other panelists:
George “Bud” Day: He appeared in national advertisements for the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth campaign.
Day said of John Kerry, “My view is he basically will go down in history sometime as the Benedict Arnold of 1971.”
Following the 2004 election, Day signed on as President of the newly formed Vietnam Veterans Legacy Foundation, which absorbed virtually all the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth members and officers.
Day claimed that “left-wing propagandists in the press” have told a “false history of Vietnam” that has been used to “demoralize our troops.”
Mary Jane McManus:
A prominent and outspoken member of the Swift Boat Vets, she appeared in their national TV ad campaign + said, “John Kerry gave aid and comfort to the enemy by advocating their negotiating points to our government.”
Carlton Sherwood: A former Bush administration official, Sherwood was the producer of the television film “Stolen Honor,” which was broadcast by the Sinclair Group and contained a host of smears and lies.
The film was “an anti-Kerry attack ad masquerading as a documentary.”
Among other prominent conservatives, CPAC will be hosting Vice President Cheney and White House Press Secretary Tony Snow. Does the White House endorse the view that there is campaign by the left “against the American soldier”? Digg It!

A suicide bomber attacked the entrance to the main U.S. military base in Afghanistan Tuesday during a visit by Vice President Dick Cheney, killing at least 14 people.

27.Feb.2007 Gore Responds To Drudge’s Latest Hysterics - Think Progress Comments
The right-wing is angry that Al Gore has won so much public attention and goodwill for his work on global warming. Determined to smear his efforts, Drudge writes in a screaming headline:
Responding to Drudge’s attack, Vice President Gore’s office told ThinkProgress:
1) Gore’s family has taken numerous steps to reduce the carbon footprint of their private residence, including signing up for 100 % green power through Green Power Switch, installing solar panels + using compact fluorescent bulbs and other energy saving technology.
2) Gore has had a consistent position of purchasing carbon offsets to offset the family’s carbon footprint — a concept the right-wing fails to understand. Gore’s office explains:
What Mr. Gore has asked is that every family calculate their carbon footprint and try to reduce it as much as possible. Once they have done so, he then advocates that they purchase offsets, as the Gore’s do, to bring their footprint down to zero.
It’s the latest in a series of desperate attacks by Drudge to paint Gore as a hypocrite. Some other examples:
These are the lengths that climate skeptics must go to suppress action on global warming. There is no meaningful debate within the scientific community, so the right-wing busies itself with talk about how much electricity Al Gore’s house uses — and even then they distort the truth.
27.Feb.2007 Pace: ‘Significant’ risk over potential third crisis. - Nico Comments
: Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Peter Pace has sent a classified report to Defense Secretary Robert Gates and to Congress that says the risk is now “significant” that the U.S. military would not be able to meet its obligations if a third world crisis were to break out. Pace’s declaration has triggered a requirement under the law “for Secretary Gates to come up with what they call a ‘mitigation plan’ - once the risk is ’significant’ the Secretary must report to Congress on what he’s doing about it.” Video HERE.
UPDATE: The AP has details:
The assessment…represents a worsening from a year ago, when that risk was rated as moderate.
The report is classified, but on Monday senior defense officials, speaking on condition on anonymity, confirmed the decline in overall military readiness. And a report that accompanied Pace’s review concluded that while the Pentagon is working to improve its warfighting abilities, it “may take several years to reduce risk to acceptable levels.”

According to Parsi, Rove confirmed receipt of the Iranian offer two hours after it was delivered to him, calling it “intriguing.” Subsequently, Parsi claims there was a “discussion about this at the highest level in the Bush administration.” Hard-liners, led by Dick Cheney, immediately rejected it, even going so far as to “reprimand the Swiss ambassador for having delivered it.”
Parsi echoed the allegations of former NSC official Flynt Leverett, who has said that Condoleezza Rice — then National Security Adviser — saw the offer. Rice now says, “I don’t know what Flynt Leverett’s talking about.” Weighing in on the dispute, Parsi said, “I find it highly unlikely that they did not see it. I frankly believe that it’s beyond unlikely that they didn’t see.”

27.Feb.2007 Lieberman Seeks To Block Iraq Provisions From 9/11 Bill - Nico Comments
When Senate leaders first announced their intention to revoke the 2002 Iraq war authorization, they said they planned to attach their legislation to a homeland security bill being debated this week. Thanks to Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT), who is the chairman of the homeland security committee, that apparently won’t be happening. CongressDaily reports:
Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Chairman Lieberman is making it clear he does not want Iraq-related amendments attached to a bill scheduled for floor action this week that would implement unfulfilled recommendations of the 9/11 Commission. Democratic leaders seemed inclined today to hold off introducing Iraq-related amendments to the bill, possibly to avoid upsetting Lieberman and moving him closer to switching party affiliations, which would swing the Senate back to GOP control.
One Democratic aide quoted by CongressDaily says it “depends on whether Republicans push to attach language supportive of President Bush’s so-called surge in U.S. troop strength in the most dangerous areas of Iraq. ‘The Democrats won’t [offer Iraq amendments] if Republicans don’t,‘ this aide said.” Aides to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) and Armed Services Chairman Carl Levin (D-MI) say they have not decided how to proceed with the Iraq proposals.
In a Wall Street Journal op-ed today, Lieberman expressed his desire not to have a debate over Iraq, saying “let us declare a truce in the Washington political war over Iraq until” the “end of summer.”
As Glenn Greenwald notes, Lieberman wrote “almost exactly the same op-ed, on the same Wall St. Journal page, more than a year ago,” in effect arguing “that it is therefore our duty as Americans (still) to keep our mouths shut and be led to Victory.” Digg It!

The Western Regional Climate Action Initiative will “develop a regional target to lower greenhouse gases and create a program aimed at helping businesses reach the still-undecided goals.”
27.Feb.2007 Fox News staffers in Iraq issued gas masks. - Amanda Comments
Clarissa Ward from Fox News blogs: “There have been three attacks in the last month involving the use of chlorine gas. In high concentrations, chlorine mixes with moisture in your eyeballs and respiratory tracts + forms a pungent acid that then eats away at the tissue. Not a nice way to go. The first thing to do if you see a yellow/green cloud of gas, or if people around you are choking, is to stop breathing immediately and then run to your mask. The masks are intensely claustrophobic and very fiddly to get on and off. I kept pulling chunks of my hair out and I never managed to hold my breath before the mask was secured. I am hoping that I will get better with some practice.” (HT: IraqSlogger)
27.Feb.2007 White House: U.S. Invaded Iraq ‘Under U.N. Authorization’ - Payson Comments
In an effort to push back against congressional efforts to rescind the original
2002 Iraq War resolution, White House press spokesman Tony Fratto on Friday argued the United Nations had authorized the initial U.S. invasion of Iraq:
“The president said this isn’t the fight we entered in Iraq, but it’s the fight we’re in,” Fratto told reporters Friday. “ We went in as a multinational force under U.N. authorization to take military action in Iraq. We were there as an occupying force + now we’re there at the invitation of the sovereign, elected government of Iraq.”
Actually, the White House did not invade Iraq “under U.N. authorization.” President Bush had promised to take the issue to the U.N. Security Council “no matter what the whip count,” but never did. U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan described the invasion of Iraq as “not in conformity with the UN charter…from the charter point of view, it was illegal.”
It’s one thing to spin history; it’s quite another to rewrite it from scratch.
27.Feb.2007 POLL: Americans Strongly Support Murtha Iraq Plan - Nico Comments
The Washington Post editorial board — which four years ago called President Bush’s plan for war in Iraq “an operation essential to American security” — is now harshly attacking Rep. John Murtha’s (D-PA) effort to increase support for the overstretched U.S. military and restrain Bush’s Iraq escalation.
The Post claims that Murtha’s plan “crudely [hamstrings] the ability of military commanders to deploy troops,” and that “Murtha’s cynicism is matched by an alarming ignorance about conditions in Iraq.” (We’ve taken apart these claims HERE.)
Thankfully, the American people haven’t bought the Post’s talking points. A new Washington Post/ABC News poll shows that Americans strongly back Murtha’s plan to strengthen U.S. forces:
Would you support or oppose Congress trying to block Bush’s plan by creating new rules on troop training and rest time that would limit the number of troops available for duty in Iraq?
Support: 58 %
Oppose: 39 %
Unknown: 4 %
The poll also shows that opposition to escalation continues to grow.
In the latest poll, Americans oppose sending more U.S. forces to Iraq by a margin of 67 % to 32 %. That’s up from 65/34 on January 19 and 61/36 on January 10.

27.Feb.2007 : Libby juror exposed to outside information. - Nico Comments
Just now on :
[ UPDATE: AP is reporting that the judge has dismissed the juror, but that there will not be a mistrial. Firedoglake is live-blogging from the courthouse.]
: We are learning that all the parties in the Scooter Libby trial have been summoned to the courtroom. We want to get to Brian Todd now for the latest. I know you are outside that courtroom. Why are they being asked to come inside? Do they have a verdict now?
BRIAN TODD: They don’t have a verdict. We were just in the courtroom a moment ago and the judge informed all of us that one of the jurors has been exposed to information about the case outside the courtroom. The judge said he had to talk to the jury foreperson and that is what he is doing right now. As soon as he told us that, he said he had to talk to the jury foreperson to determine the extent of that information that that juror got outside the courtroom. So we’re just waiting to hear whether this is a tainted juror, whether it may not be that serious. He’s also trying to determine whether other jurors may have been exposed as a result of this one juror being exposed. So we’re playing a waiting game right now, we don’t want to get into speculation what it could mean for the case but a very serious development.
26.Feb.2007 February 26, 2007 - Think Progress Comments
President Bush has sent “an unusually tough message to one of his most important allies ,” Pakistan President Gen. Pervez Musharraf. But the “tough message” is about what others will do: Bush has warned “that the newly Democratic Congress could cut aid to his country unless his forces become far more aggressive in hunting down operatives with Al Qaeda.”
200,000: Number of U.S. veterans who are homeless, including approximately 500-1,000 who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The Senate will begin debate today on a binding resolution to rescind the 2002 Iraq resolution granting Bush war authority. Bob Novak reports that Sens. Norm Coleman (R-MN) and Chuck Hagel (R-NE) will oppose the resolution, while Gordon Smith (R-OR) indicated he might favor it.
A 2002 study that “suggested adult stem cells might be as useful as embryonic ones was flawed and its conclusions may be wrong, a scientific panel says.” The study is frequently cited by conservatives to justify opposition to embryonic stem cell research.
Escalation update: “U.S. troops, Iraqi soldiers and officials + Baghdad residents say the plan is hampered because security forces cannot identify, let alone apprehend, the elusive perpetrators of the violence. … ‘I don’t know who I’m fighting most of the time,’ said Staff Sgt. Joseph Lopez.’” (more…)

27.Feb.2007 https://www.cannonfire.blogspot.com/ Need more proof of election fraud 00.000.2004 ?
Brad Friedman reports that when New Mexico switched from touch-screen voting to paper ballots, the undervotes in minority precincts -- that is, the places where Native Americans vote -- plummeted 85%.
Do we really need more proof that someone had his finger on the scale when the votes were weighed 00.000.2004 ?
Yes, New Mexico's five electoral votes -- which went to Bush -- would not have sufficed to make Kerry the winner.
But, obviously, proof that the system was gamed in one part of the country indicates huggermugger elsewhere.
If anyone denies that such proof exists, show 'em this chart. Permalink

Aktenzeichen 9/11
Geschrieben von mattin in Film/Video
Donnerstag, 7. September 2006
Die einzige kritische TV-Reportage aus Deutschland über über 9/11 von 2003 wurde von der Kritik zerrissen und der WDR distanzierte sich davon. Beide Autoren Willy Brunner und Gerhard Wisnewski bekamen beim WDR danach keine Aufträge mehr.
Vom WDR wurde die Reportage nach letzen Nachfragen von Gerhard Wisnewski verleugnet oder als nicht auffindbar vor der Öffentlichkeit ferngehalten.
Jetzt im internet: Link zum Film Aktenzeichen 9/11 von Willy Brunner und Gerhard Wisnewski

Film: Gesteuerte Demokratie?
von Steven Hutchings - 11.09.2006 00:53
Der Film ist im Rahmen einer Diplomarbeit an der Hochschule für Gestaltung, Offenbach am Main entstanden. Untersucht wird die Informations- und Medienarbeit der Bundeswehr. Ausgehend vom 'sicherheitspolitischen Paradigmenwechsel' am Ende des kalten Krieges werden Kontinuitäten und Wechsel in diesem Bereich betrachtet.
Anhand von Zeitzeugeninterviews mit Soldaten aus Einheiten für ´Psychologische Kampfführung` (PSK) bzw. ´Psychologische Verteidigung` (PSV) wird deren vornehmlich gegen die DDR gerichtete Propaganda- und Zersetzungstätigkeit beschrieben. Der Apparat der PSK bzw. PSV wurde einhergehend mit einer Skandalisierung seiner verdeckt ausgeführten Ausforschungs- und Einwirkungstätigkeit im bundesdeutschen Inland zum Ende der 80er Jahre aufgelöst. Über eine sogenannte ´Studiengesellschaft für Zeitprobleme e.V.` waren getarnte Propagandaprodukte der Bundeswehr an vermeintlich wehrkritische Zielgruppen in der BRD lanciert worden.
Aus der in Waldbröl angesiedelten ´Akademie für Psychologische Verteidigung` wird 1990 die ´Akademie für Information- und Kommunikation der Bundeswehr`(AIK). Spezialisten der PSV übernehmen die leitenden Positionen der neuen Dienststelle, die dem Presse- und Informationsstab des Verteidigungsministeriums zugeordnet wird. Sie untersteht direkt dem zeitgleich im PR-/Infostab neu gegründeten ´Grundsatzreferat` und dient als ´Thinktank` für die Öffentlichkeitsarbeit im Inland. Wie der Film belegt, werden wesentliche Tätigkeiten der PSV-Akademie fortgeführt, allerdings mit neu formuliertem Auftrag und mit neuen Zielsetzungen. Das Führungspersonal der 1994 nach Strausberg bei Berlin verlegten AIK gibt im Film ausführlich Auskunft über Auftrag und Tätigkeiten der Akademie.
Eine wesentliche Aufgabe bestand nach der Wende in der Grundlagenbeschaffung zur sicherheitspolitischen ´Umorientierung` der ehemaligen DDR-Bevölkerung....ganzer text

Dem widersprach in der "Berliner Zeitung" der frühere Bundesinnenminister Gerhart Baum (FDP).
Klars Text sei Revolutionskauderwelsch.
"Das klingt wie eine verwirrte Attac-Stimme", sagte Baum.
Entscheidend für die Begnadigung sei aber die Frage, ob Klar weiter für den bewaffneten Kampf eintrete.
Das lasse sich aus der Erklärung nicht schließen.

Wie zuvor schon CSU- Generalsekretär Markus Söder warnte Bayerns Innenminister Günther Beckstein Köhler angesichts der jüngsten Äußerungen Klars davor, dessen Gnadengesuch statt zu geben.
Der aggressive Ton und die ideologische Verbohrtheit von Klars Grußbotschaft an die Berliner Rosa-Luxemburg-Konferenz machten "deutlich, dass es sich um einen unverbesserlichen terroristischen Verbrecher handelt",
sagte Beckstein der "Bild"-Zeitung.

Im Säuglingsalter ist Laktase zunächst in ausreichender Menge vorhanden, nach dem Abstillen wird das Enzym bei den meisten Menschen auf der Welt aber nur noch in geringem Maße produziert.
Nur Europäer und einige afrikanische Bevölkerungsgruppen machen eine Ausnahme: Sie bilden das Enzym auch noch im Erwachsenenalter.

Fischer verwies darauf, dass er 2003 mit seinem US-Kollegen Colin Powell über den Fall Kurnaz gesprochen habe.
Er habe sich für Kurnaz verwandt und gesagt, dass eine Freilassung ins Auge gefasst werden sollte, "wenn es keine gravierenden Beschuldigungen gibt".
Sollte es aber solche Beschuldigungen geben, dann sollten diese ihm mitgeteilt und Anklage erhoben werden - "entweder, oder".
Er habe später seiner Erinnerung nach noch einmal nachgefasst, aber nichts erreicht.
