I don't tell too many people this but I might as well now, that afternoon speaking with my neighbor he brought up an interesting thing he told me that his buddy couldn't meet him that day because he was sent out to turn off the gas at building # 7 ... I never asked him what business his friend was in. There were just too many things going on. My neighbor had a heart attack later that week and never came home from the hospital, and he died. I had a great view of the NY skyline since I lived right across the Hudson river on the Jersey side the whole time the buildings went up. Guys who worked on those buildings sat and talked to us so many times I lost count. Anything new or different being done on that building we knew about it. They tried to explain to us how they were different from other tall skyscrapers. We'd ask about fire safety and if they could ever fall sideways. I laughed at first when they said the buildings would fall straight down due to something placed in the internal structure which could later be brought down with charges that would ignite strategically placed explosives. Yes even back then in the 70s we questioned the safety of those monstrosities going up and staying up. I was going with a boy who at the time was studying to be a structural engineer. Part of his homework was going over to those buildings as they were going up. I heard later that the blown-in insulation was new and full of asbestos and that the architect did not want them using it. There were stories we learned every day about the WTC job, but that one about the building going down fast was the most interesting. It was like they knew that at some time they might have to take them down for some reason or another. Then hearing Donald Trump of all people that day as he was watching and commentating on CNN as the first tower went down, he kept saying ''They are pancaking, that what they were designed to do.'' And he kept repeating it over and over, like he was amazed it went so well! Kathy Fisher

Walk Like a Kryptonian Missing in Missoula
Reading some very interesting books though, and expect to use them to fuel some new stuff. Some very good ones in the last month or two (I really do read this many books each month - no kidding - what else do I have time for). Top of the list is [capitalization per the title page] the sociopath next door: The ruthless vs. the Rest of Us that is probably one of those "must read" books for folks trying to make sense of current events. Right under that is Kirpatric Sale's new book After Eden: The Evolution of Human Domination which argues that Homo Sapiens began our downward spiral with the evolution of high tech (for the stone age) hunting of large animals. Backing that up, and almost finished with a first reading, is After the Ice: A Global Human History, 20,000-5000 BC that covers the period of human history from the next to last great warming of the climate to the beginning of written history. The above books are filled in by Animals in Translation: Using the Mysteries of Autism to Decode Animal Behavior in which the wonderful animal scientist, and very successful high functioning autistic, Temple Grandin, explores animal consciousness from the non- conventional human perspective of autistic perception and potentially provides a radically different perspective from which any of us can markedly increase our understanding of our own lives and the tragedy that we have been taught to call "civilization." I have gotten into the habit of reading everything by Jared Diamond, and I filled in a hole recently by reading The Rise and Fall of the Third Chimpanzee: the Evolution and Future of the Human Animal concurrently with the above books. Tying all these together is the compelling two volume (891 pages) Endgame by derrick jensen [sic] which is almost finished as well. Triangulating all these sources it begins to be clear that the source of our current catastrophes, climate change, war, poverty, hunger, the whole shooting match, lies in the maladaptive process of extreme social aggregation, that conflicts with our evolutionary heritage, and large scale political power, and the technologies of centralization that supports this concentration of power. On a parallel track to the above reading I am about half way through The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins which I recommend to anyone struggling with belief in the context of their scientific understanding of the world. It is not an easy book. It is best taken a few pages at a time, which I accomplish by making it my main potty book (where I do my best thinking it seems). Probably my favorite recent book (judging by my having reread it numerous times myself and now to my four year old grandson) is the first volume of Larry Gonick's Cartoon History of the Universe: Volumes 1-7, from the Big Bang to Alexander the Great. Also in my history reading of the last couple of months: Thomas Cahill's Sailing the Wine Dark Sea, Why the Greeks Matter that is the best source I have found on who Socrates really was and why his rejection by Athens was a turning point for western civilization; The Fall of the Roman Empire by Michael Grant; Inventing a Nation by Gore Vidal; Hegemony or Survival by Noam Chomsky (a perpetually popular author for me); Blood of the Earth, The Battle for the World's Vanishing Oil Resources by Dilip Hiro; Secrets: A Memoir of Vietnam and the Pentagon Papers by Daniel Ellsberg; and finally The Republican War on Science by Chris Mooney. Just bought and as yet uncracked is Nemesis, The Last Days of the American Republic which will force me to read Blowback next so I will have read all three of the set that also includes Sorrows of Empire. Chalmers is a card carrying establishment conservative and, for my time and money, the most insightful witness to the trials of our times as he really did have a ring side seat. Gosh! I hadn't really reviewed my reading till this. Sorry if it seems like bragging. A number of the books mentioned above are still in the process of being read, but most of them have been read at least once, and numerous of them I revisit frequently as I think about what to write for Unknown News. Reflecting on all this it seems like I may be a frustrated grad student feeling a need to report to my thesis advisor on my progress. Please humor me. I guess he also serves who merely sits and reads. herb

Heads up alert
I see the US dollar is weakening towards a scary level, below which is an abyss... And while it may be true that the Democrats will rein in El Spender In Chief somewhat, the housing market's weakness constrains the Federal Reserve and makes it more likely that they will lower rates than raise (and thus, remove some $US support.) However, the $US index might bounce and 80 and go up for a while (that would represent a great opportunity to evacuate the burning building). We're looking, then, at a potentially multi-year devaluation, with some ups and downs CHART, CHART I am ok with these two foreign bond funds: PFBDX and BEGBX (the latter is where Cheney had his money at last report...). CHART, CHART There are several other funds to look at. I recommend somewhat conservative funds that invest in high grade corporate and sovereign debt, rather than the risky stuff... but dividends are important while waiting for the dollars decline, so pay attention to yields and duration. Gold and gold miners It's all about preserving purchasing power, not getting rich. The downside for the US dollar may be 20% or more, but probably not in a dramatic crash. So figure out a plan to diversify, which might include foreign stocks, currencies, metals, oil and energies. But keep some cash for opportunity knocking... In the long run, alternative and clean energy, plus nanotech, biotech and computer tech will be excellent; I just don't know about buying that crap right now. Probably just hold fast and wait for good risks. Mr. Chuckles

American and English racial blindness
Too many geologists and not enough geographers and historians involved in that process. And even the geologists were more concerned with the oil under the surface than the topology of the land itself. A land war, any land war, in the mountains of Afghanistan is predetermined in favor of the Afghans who know it so well and are able to subsist and defend it.

Bob Woodruff's recovery
I will be anxiously watching Bob's continued coverage on the care our brain-injured soldiers receive. A staggering two hundred and five thousand have suffered brain injuries. Don't forget that figure! I hope Bob makes a commitment be a spokesperson for them. He publicly must be told, they must be made aware, no more gag orders on the press! The way that shill for the Bush cabal lied to him when he answered YES when Bob asked him ''Do you think they're doing everything humanly possible for our injured veterans?'' Kathy Fisher Is the Angel of Basra alive?
From time to time I have seen this picture which is presently on your site labeled angelof basra. I have seen only one other like it, shot within seconds of that one. My question is trivial compared to most but it is about the young girl in that photo. She looks dead in it. I guess that I am vainly hoping to be told she is alive and well. For some reason more than anything else I have seen, these two pictures bother me tremendously. Maybe because even though she bears no resemblance to my own daughter I can't help but feel about as bad as if she were mine. Heck, look at that purple boa she is wearing. My daughter would have put on something like that playing at dress up. Hell, would have been hard too get her to put it away even. I can't get her or thoughts about her parents out of my head. No parent should have to go through outliving their child but this is monstrous, absolutely unforgivable. I would hate anyone who did this to mine, so I can only guess how her relatives feel. Sorry to go on so. I can be so gabby and I have never said this to anyone and am unloading. This is so bad neither gods nor devils could forgive us! But do you know any more about this child and if she survived? No need to rush me an answer, you have plenty to do as is. so anyway, I hope we stop doing his real soon Again, thank you for doing this, zen hugs, jos R.
U.S. will attend Middle East summit
Also present will be reps from the G8 and Iraq 's neighbors. I'll have to muse on this …but my first glance is to consider the idea that cooler heads are beginning to prevail. Serious saber-rattling aside, President Ahmadinajad is neither as popular at home as his government press indicates, nor is his very youthful population sufficiently engaged in the economy. Perhaps multilateral political and economic pressures against Iran are beginning to have a desired effect. I still think the risk of a large conflict is very real. There are no moderates left in this theatre. TC

Rogue factor & Iran
We are literally on the edge of a go/no go expansion of the Middle East war. If started, this war will have a great potential to consume the whole of the Middle East with a rapid fury and desolation of person and property unlike anything the world has seen since the major destruction of European population centers during WW2. The situation of war or peace literally hinges on a successful outcome of the Saud family to find a mediated settlement between Iran and its nuclear detractors. Despite the cacophony of media noise on this subject, most telling for me are 5 key factors: • US warships on patrol within and near the ME have NOT been rotated out of duty as they should have been a month or so agoMy chief concern at this time is that a rogue event will tip the scales in favor of war. Now what do you think the odds are that a rogue event will be engineered? (This is a rhetorical question.) Unfortunately the House of Saud has not been all that successful with diplomacy in the past. Also, I do fear their intervention is biased, as their Sunni nation is not likely to want to see a nuclear armed Shi’ite rival. Also, as I have mentioned before: • I think Bush is insane (like Hitler, he thinks God talks to him, literally, and he is a believer in Apocrypha Evangelism) TC

It is up to the smart ones to make sure we have a lifeboat to get into, and before I get in I have to try one more time to get my message out loud and clear, for as I said, we are running out of time! The media whores are already giddy over this next fiasco they like to call an election. The trained seals still consider it a right and privilege that gives them some kind of control over they future. God help these lobotomized fools. War with Iran looks like it's right around the bend.

I wouldn't watch The Shield if you paid me. I am sick of cop/law/judge/war shows! I like martial arts, sci-fi, humor and the occasional tearjerker I can't sincerely *recommend* Dirt, but I am waiting anxiously for Tuesday night About 5 (or 6?) episodes have aired so far. You would want to start at the beginning and see the thing unfold in all of its glory. A fascination with it is that "Lucy" (aka Courtney Cox) is actually running a civilian intelligence service to gather dirt on celebrities, and the magazine is published weekly So it is like real life after all.

Sell the message right and they will buy it!
They have no time for long lexicons to decipher, they haven't read about the past, they don't remember the past, and they seem to not care about the past. They do however still treasure their pocketbooks and worry about the roof over they heads. Tie those things together with these messages and we've got their attention. They are used to being sold things they don't need, and unfortunately they have been sold so many lies that it has become very hard for them to tell the difference between what is good for them and what is bad. If presented the right way, we can make them take notice that their future is in jeopardy and that they can take part in changing that. I don't particularly like that I had to hear and see and be reminded that dirtbags like Liddy and Mario Coumo were in this video, but they had to be heard and seen to believe that there were and still are assholes like this around. And in order to show people how fucking wrong they were, as well as to show the viewer what WE were up against. So far I like this film! I didn't like seeing Geraldo Rivero in this.

News from Nablus
The article does not say what TV news reported, that the 80 or so jeeps followed a bunch of bulldozers.... THAT means, the Israelis are about to destroy some Palestinian houses. Some networks showed footage of Israelis shooting through small round holes in the rear windows of their jeeps, the windows not being clear glass, they could not possibly have seen whom they were shooting at. Out in the streets were only teenagers throwing stones, and that from a safe distance, which certainly could do harm to the armored jeeps the Israelis were driving, all safety glass windows shut tight. If Israel "discovered" an "explosive laboratory" the day before, they must have been there sniffing around for days.... or were they camouflaged as Arabs? They do love to dress up those Israelis! Is the Administration's new policy benefiting our enemies in the war on terrorism? Hersh was on Blitzer, accusing the Administration not only of planning war with Iran, but of funding all sorts of governments and groups with the Iraq money, funding all sorts of covet operations which were not authorized by Congress, and which are definitely illegal. He said the Bush Admin is supporting groups that are involved with the groups that are responsible for 9/11, whom the US should be arresting instead of supporting. Also discusses covert, military operations that the Pentagon ran (and is still running?) The Story is entitled "The Redirection" Duncan Hunter and Jane Harman were also on the show... both actually FOR a war with Iran in reality, she is certainly one of the MOST pro Israel Reps in the House, and Israel definitely WANTS THIS WAR.. Harman just returned from the "Middle East".... (Well we know which part of the Middle East Harmon visited....) Blitzer never asks Harman what she thinks of the Hersh story, and she spins the Iran war thing as if she and Hunter are on opposite sides (which Blitzer needs to look like he's a journalist instead of a Mossad agent), but she is obviously anxious to get out of Iraq in order to get into Iran..... When push comes to shove, the entire Congress will go for this war, even more than they went for the Iraq war. And if they aren't planning a war on Iran, what ARE they doing?? Gulf states agree to IAF overflights en route to Iran (and NATO working on Turkey.... Israel and Israel discussing flights over Iraq....) E13

Déjà vu for Watada
Well, it seems like "déjà vu" all over again! This is my prediction of what will happen to patriot Watada. First off, the Army will keep Watada in legal limbo for at least several months (or leading right up 'till shortly before the "Iran plan" is launched) with these newly filed charges. Ultimately however, because of the double-jeopardy conundrum intentionally produced by the mistrial's judge, Lt. Col. Head, all charges will be dropped against Watada and, in the long run, I also believe that the Army is not going to discharge Watada. Instead, because they are so short of "boots-on-the-battlefield," the Army is going to simply reassign this erstwhile Lieutenant (since he would "officially" become a soldier of reconstituted "good standing") to a unit that is slated to go to Afghanistan. Watada has already declared that he has no qualms about serving in Afghanistan. THEN, when he gets there, the neo-con directed "Dark Side" of the Special Forces Branch will arrange for Watada to get "Pat Tillman'd." THIS will serve as a not-too-subtle warning to ANY service member NOT TO ROCK THE WAR BOAT with facts of its illegal status. Personally, because he has been so successful in his protest against the Iraq "war," I think that Lt. Ehren Watada is dead meat. To make this work well, the military will continue dragging out Watada's "mistrial" re-indictment, and ultimate "technical" exoneration until not too many people are paying attention to it any more, especially after our prospective Iran debacle gets shifted into high gear and a few hundred thousand people suddenly get dead in just a few days. Then he'll get his orders for Afghanistan. This would also be a much more effective authoritarian "smackback" against war dissension in the ranks than, say, just running Watada over by a truck outside some courthouse in the States, because that would still mean unassailable victory for Watada and by concatenation, all future military Watada-wannabes. Fundamentally, any blatantly obvious kind of assassination would still sustain Watada as the victor and anti-war folk hero because he got at least a little bit of what he wanted before he died. But under the scenario that I've outlined above, Watada doesn't "win" his court case (the government having avoided a "public-opinion verifying" acquittal on a "mistrial" technicality), MUST STILL go and fight in one of Bush's quagmires, and is still punished by being "executed," using a tactically intentional clusterfuck circumstance with which to "hang" him (considering his specialty, perhaps an artillery version of "friendly fire"). And when he does die "in combat" (probably sitting in a port-a-potty taking a dump), EVERYBODY will know that his death was specifically "the plan." THIS WAY, all the troops who are still serving in harm's way are also wordlessly instructed that THIS is what happens to you when you foolishly allow Constitutional patriotism to cloud your judgement and stupidly embarrass the CiC. And before Watada dies, "they'll make sure that he realizes it also. As the Plame case has confirmed, our current crowd of global war crooks at the White House are a wholly vindictive lot, who will make absolutely sure that no patriotic deed shall EVER go unpunished.

A pattern here
If you knowingly let a convicted bank robber work the cash register in your store, should you be surprised when he takes your money? Why then, after you see these bastards in Washington DC year after year squander your hard earned money, do you still let them in your paycheck every single week to help themselves to what's not theirs to begin with? When you are this stupid they will continue to take advantage of you. By never saying enough is enough, they will think you don't mind them get away with so much. We were the first ones who gave them that first inch with out so much as a complaint. Now they automatically think it's fine with us when they take a mile! Now who's fault is that? The words come from everywhere, out of thin air, pouring from the gray matter that's left between my two ears. And so it begins, what I see so many times looking into the candle's flame. I imagine I'm on a escalator, with one exception, I am its source of power going past and away and towards. I see all the wars started over man's lust and tumultuous greed. So many have died. I pass what seems like ocean lengths of dead bodies, some still clinging to life, clawing at my ankles. I climb faster to get away from the blood of so many innocent precious lives. I am trying to get higher into the clouds and small patches of light that seem so very far away from me. Many times I slip into the puddles... A voice from out of nowhere gives me courage, telling me a peaceful, humble future is over the horizon, telling me my Shangri-La of a world waits for me, but I must be patient, for there is more suffering to witness, more violence begot from the lust for power to rule and control all of mankind. The voice tells me that it will fail again and again, and it is because of the failures we will have a future of peace, a place where humans of that horrid nature cease to exist. Sweat is now covering most of my body, and my heart rate is fast but not dangerous. All the time my eyes are closed, still seeing this futuristic flash before me. What a mad rush, empowering and disabling at the same time. Many ripples in this pond life has offered for the taking. Rides only a crazy person would even think to go on... Can't turn around now!

Only following orders
Second, I would like to raise the issue of the "I was only following orders" defense against prosecution for war crimes. Consider preparing an authenticated listing of the deceptions/crimes/torture committed by the US military under orders from the Bush/Cheney administration. Provide the list to all military personnel, and give them the ability to "opt out" of military service based on conscience/illegal war. Those who remain would then be denied the "I was only following orders" defense in the War Crimes trial that may be convened after the US exits Iraq/Iran/Afghanistan. Isn't it about time to say to the soldiers "what you are doing to the Iraqi people is immoral and probably violates international law." Fred G.

DIY housing
Daisy
You missed this point: "Solar panels for lighting, music and computing" I think that in the future wood frame houses will be seen as primitive, rude structures. The whole design is based on cheap energy to waste and a disposability factor for the home itself, which isn't intended to last more than 40 or 50 years. In fact, manually built frame houses are the most ridiculous. New robot technology will build a home in a few days using spray-on materials, thus reducing costs dramatically. There is no doubt in my mind that we are at the cusp of BIG changes in house technology. On top of that, economics will force people to use new techniques, designs and materials. New engineering for the masses! Haha. Daisy

Congress of mass destruction
Right now there are, I think, three U.S. aircraft carrier battle groups in the Persian Gulf. This gulf is big, but so is one battle group let alone three. They have to be spread out so far that I'll bet they have the entire gulf clogged up with ships. They really have no way to move around strategically. I guess they are depending on their new space age weapons for defense. They also have their crews on alert. And you can only keep a crew on alert for so long before their ability to stay effective goes downhill. So if anything is going to happen it's going to be soon. I see nothing but disaster for the U.S. And not one 'future' candidate for the presidency is saying one fucking word of any import. But every one of them is praising Israel and swearing allegiance to them. We are becoming the new Nazis. God help us. But still the news (controlled by the monied interests) continues to use the word 'insurgent'. The fuckheads in Washington, D.C. still use the word 'insurgent'. They are on intentional collision course to extend the war to Iran and who knows where else. As for "weapons of mass destruction" I'd like to say that that is a term better used to describe the President and the Congress. Have a pleasant weekend. Marvin A.
