Russians took down South Ossetia websites

Politics written by Doug Scott

Found this whilst browsing round.

Just before the Russians attacked last week some websites were all taken down:

Websites on both sides, especially the Georgian one, were knocked out by co-ordinated online attacks. Among them were the Ministry of Defence and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs websites, the online English language dailies ‘The Messenger’, and ‘Civil’, and the personal website of the Georgian President, Mikheil Saakashvili.

Is Russia wanting to control some more oil?

Politics written by Doug Scott

The Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline, led by BP, was opened in 2006 and is capable of pumping one million barrels per day of Azeri crude along the 1,040-mile route to the Turkish port of Ceyhan.

It is the first pipeline to carry large volumes of crude out of the Caspian without going through Russia.

Strangely it goes through Georgia:

9-11 good for some people

Politics written by Doug Scott

Who Profited from 9/11?

The attack on the U.S. on September 11, 2001 was one of the most tragic days in American history. After 9/11, the world changed. For the better for some………

The Carlyle Group, a private equity investment firm and defense contractor is well connected to the Bush family, since former President George H.W. Bush (as well as James Baker III) is an advisor and has vested financial interests.

The U.S. State Department has stated that it is unable to account for approximately $1.2 billion paid to DynCorp International, the largest contractor working in Iraq. This money was provided for the training of the Iraqi police. DynCorp received an additional $1.1 billion contract to train police in Afghanistan. DynCorp, for its part, was to recruit U.S. police trainers, build facilities, and provide room and board for Iraqi recruits. Unfortunately, these goals have not been completely met and many believe that most of the money has gone straight to the contractor’s profit margin. Despite a history of questionable or illegal activity, DynCorp continues to be given billions of dollars to complete critical programs that have been outsourced to profit making companies.

Halliburton is a corporation that specializes in energy, oil and military contracting. In 2001, Halliburton received a contract from the Department of Defense to supply “emergency services” to the Pentagon. The contract process followed proper procedures, with Halliburton outbidding four competitors. However, the contract is considered by some to be a total scam. A contract such as this one in which Halliburton is to provide “emergency services” to the Pentagon creates a huge financial windfall, worth billions, under one explicit circumstance. If a major war erupts, the requirement for “emergency services” will inevitably be substantial. Ironically, in case of war, Halliburton cannot provide many of the services, at least not immediately. Naturally, other work can be completed, including work in the oil fields. As a result, the Iraq war has been worth billions of dollars to Halliburton. The Pentagon continued to supply Halliburton with work once the war broke out, claiming that Halliburton is the only company qualified to complete the necessary tasks.

Fun, Politics, Uncategorized written by Doug Scott

This is from over at blurtit:

Why Obama Wont Be President?

• In both 2000 and 2004, the South voted 100% Republican
• In Florida, one third of black men have been stripped of their right to vote.
• Blacks in inner cities were forced to literally queue all day in the hope of being allowed to vote
• Coded Racism – As Hillary let slip one time, “white Americans”
• Since 1986 Only Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter, both southern good ole boys, have been able to break the Republican stranglehold.

Jews are moving to Germany rather than Israel

Politics written by Doug Scott

Israel this month is 6o years old…..I don’t make any political view on this and whether or not as a country it should exists. But if we went back 100 years the map of the world would be very to how it is now. One day we will have to learn to live with our neighbours, be they black, white, short, small, with foreskin, without foreskin…..

Some facts:

1. In 2003, 12383 Russians Jews moved to Israel but 15442 moved to Germany.
2. The Jewish population in Germany is now over 200,000 up from 20,000 when the Berlin Wall came down in 1989.
3. Over 1 million arabs live in Israel
4. Arabs breed faster than Jews

Where has all my oil gone?

Politics written by Doug Scott

My Tank Runneth Dry

You’d have to be from another planet not to realize we are headed for a major disaster with the world’s oil supply. We are using it so fast, that depletion of usable reserves is going to be a reality in the not too distant future.

We’re energy hogs. We’re most likely not going to change our consumption habits no matter how many doomsday predictions experts give us. So, what are we going to do when the well runs dry? What will our children do when there is insufficient energy resources to maintain for them an “acceptable” way of life; a way of life they have become accustomed to?

My simple solution is that we are going to have to accept new ways of life, and we need to do this long before the oil reserves become depleted.

Go out on the highways in any major city or rural town. What do you see? Hundreds of cars, buses and trucks, each going their own way, most of them having only one passenger? Does this make sense to you? It doesn’t to me, especially when you consider that many of the people occupying those vehicles are going to similar destinations as their fellow drivers. If we want to have any hope of making our energy resources last, we’re going to have to change our ways in this area. Carpooling, ride share, van share are other such cooperative ventures are going to have to become our norm.

Another thing I notice is how many people will get into traffic for a short hop, especially in city centers. Why? Are there not plenty of alternatives? How about a bicycle to go that six block trip to the supermarket to pick up just a few items? How about a moped or a scooter? Is it necessary to pull a six cylinder vehicle out of the garage for this sort of trip?

How about public transportation? Wow! What a unique concept! Most large city centers have excellent public transit systems, and they run 24/7. Public transportation works. It may take a little longer, but don’t you have plenty of diversions that can fill the added time? I read, get paperwork done, study, listen to music and sometimes even strike up conversations with others during the ride. The time goes by in a flash.

Another energy waster is all the trucks on the roads. Think of all the gas they burn day in and day out, delivering their wares to the same general destinations that other trucks are headed. Why haven’t we developed our rail systems better? Many European countries have excellent rail systems for both commuters and shipping, they can be used more for moving a far greater amount of goods with far less expenditure of oil.

True, we need to develop alternative sources of energy such as wind and solar power. But these development efforts are going to take time. We need to develop alternative energy sources that are practical so that people can rely upon them for their daily commuting and traveling needs. But those are long-term development projects. We need something in the short-term, something that can be implemented right now. I say that something is our own human creativity. We are going to have to find better ways to do the things we need to do in order to maintain or improve upon our current quality of life. I say that the best alternative source of energy is going to be our willingness to change and adapt to a new lifestyle, one that embodies a bit less convenience, but takes into account the needs of others; future generations. We are going to have to learn to think twice before we just put the keys in the ignition of a large automobile. We are going to have to learn to give up some convenience if we want to leave a planet for our grandchildren and great grandchildren that can support them into their old age. We will need to consider the needs of others; not just ourselves when we decide how to get from point A to point B.

Maybe the increasingly spiraling cost of natural gas and oil is a good thing. Maybe it will be a wake-up call for many of us. Maybe when it costs three times as much to have those books delivered to our homes by the online store, we will consider bicycling to our favorite bookstore when we want something new to read. Maybe when we become dangerously close to depleting our stores of oil we will accept the fact that we are living in a new age, one where we may have to give up some conveniences for the good of future generations.

Personally, I think that could actually be a good thing. Now leave that car in the garage and grab the bus to work! Who knows? You might actually enjoy the ride.

Burn food and make fuel – you stupid person

Politics written by Doug Scott

Now is that a dam daft idea if I ever heard of one.

Whoever thought that biofuels will solve the worlds problems.

So what do we do when we have loads of cars, but start running out of fuel….it’s only a mtter of time.

We are not fixing a problem with oil dependency, but moving a problem. We simply have to look at energy sources we have in abundanc:

• solar
• wind
• wave

Is Iraq a sovereign state…….

Politics written by Doug Scott

Is Iraq a sovereign nation? Or are things like democracy just theatre, something to keep the folks distracted while the real work goes on?

Seems deals are in the works to give the USA rights to do whatever they please, almost like, say, an occupying force?

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/revealed-secret-plan-to-keep-iraq-under-us-control-840512.html

So in 2000, ie. before “the war on terror” and 9/11 the PNAC report said

“a permanent unit should be based in the Persian Gulf region”

“even should U.S.-Iranian relations improve, retaining forward-based forces in the region would still be an essential element in U.S. security strategy given the longstanding American interests in the region.”

Looks like Georgey boy has very nearly granted the neocons their wish. How soon before the bombs start dropping on Iran?

I can hear the war drums from here.

We are in Europe even if you don’t like it

Politics written by Doug Scott

Why oh why do I keep getting rubbish saying lets have a referendum about being in Europe.

It’s a fact we are in Europe, we may be separated by 21 miles of sea, but even fat comedians can swim that.

I voted some people to make some decisions for me and they a long time ago decided to be part of the EEC, it made a lot of sense to me then and still does. Simple we have some French people next door and they aren’t moving, so we better get on with stuff.

One day we will have a World government, if we survive that long…again it would seem to make lots of sense to me.
