What we’re not being told about MH17

Posted by Maya @ 19:23 on July 20, 2014  

Must be about time for some other distraction from quibbles. Russian intelligence has their own ‘outlet’ about what happened to MH17, and it’s looking like more factual than the western media spin demonizing Putin.

Fact: The Kiev government proxies have confiscated all radar data and flight controller communications related to MH17 and it’s errant flight path. Why? If this is “Russia’s Fault” as we are told… expose the truth! Well… the truth is now looking like it might have been a botched attempt to assassinate Putin, whose plane crossed paths with MH17 shortly before. Yes, the Kiev Ukraine government also possesses the BUK-1 missiles. They were deployed out in the eastern regions. Why? The rebel separatists have no ‘air force’. And yes, the Kiev “government” is largely directed by “western advisors”.

STUDY The Less Americans Know about Ukraine’s Location, the More They Want U.S. to Intervene

Posted by ipso facto @ 19:21 on July 20, 2014  

Thursday, April 10, 2014STUDY The Less Americans Know about Ukraine’s Location, the More They Want U.S. to Intervene
By political scientists Kyle Dropp (Dartmouth College) Joshua D. Kertzer (Harvard University) and Thomas Zeitzoff (Princeton University).
Where’s Ukraine? Each dot depicts the location where a U.S. survey respondent situated Ukraine; the dots are colored based on how far removed they are from the actual country, with the most accurate responses in red and the least accurate ones in blue

Since Russian troops first entered the Crimean peninsula in early March, a series of media polling outlets have asked Americans how they want the U.S. to respond to the ongoing situation. Although two-thirds of Americans have reported following the situation at least “somewhat closely,” most Americans actually know very little about events on the ground — or even where the ground is.

On March 28-31, 2014, we asked a national sample of 2,066 Americans (fielded via Survey Sampling International Inc. (SSI), what action they wanted the U.S. to take in Ukraine, but with a twist: In addition to measuring standard demographic characteristics and general foreign policy attitudes, we also asked our survey respondents to locate Ukraine on a map as part of a larger, ongoing project to study foreign policy knowledge. We wanted to see where Americans think Ukraine is and to learn if this knowledge (or lack thereof) is related to their foreign policy views. We found that only one out of six Americans can find Ukraine on a map, and that this lack of knowledge is related to preferences: The farther their guesses were from Ukraine’s actual location, the more they wanted the U.S. to intervene with military force.
Ukraine: Where is it?

Were restricted to Property owners because they were acknowledged to be somewhat intelligent, literate and capable of reasoning .The Founders also said that a Constitutional Republic required a literate voting populace to succeed.What do we have today ?You don’t even need to know the language,be able to read and write, be a citizen or a legal resident.Even dead people vote! Look at what you get !

So true including the lesser Kennedy.

It will just get worse as the self serving entitled minded see one get away with something then they jump in. A person here told me in his town nearby that because of the drought and people on water restriction that people using less water their getting less revenues so they want to put a price increase on water. They think they can just charge what ever they want.

Then we have some crack head in southern cal who wants to charge mileage on cars.

I am not here to poop on the party

 

Just to point out that the premis for the resurrecting of Goldtent at this Oasis

as stated in the email that was sent to all present and former posters is PURE Bunk

It has nothing to do with Tentathons and Secrets and Petty cash

The Bottom line is Goldtent was originally Full of life and energy

A lot of people put their heart and  soul into the place and its heyday corresponded with

Precious Metals Heyday..we all got along and everybody was on the same page

Now that PM Investors have suffered from a brutal 3 year bear market the place became a ghost of

its former self..It died from natural causes (Disinterest)

I personally take much responsibility for that as my time has been consumed at the Rambus Forum

I believe the same can be said for Audept

The sidebar at Paradise is full of gems accumulated from many years …they are still there

The only one that has been migrated here is the  Locator

This was my pet project as I found it fascinating to see where everybody was from .

Its  yours  now…you make keep it of course…probably needs some updating

I truly am happy to see the gang is all here

I salute the Admins for doing this

It is a breath of fresh air

Now all we need is a rip roaring PM Bull to get things really hoping !

Now that I have absolutely NO responsibilities here I plan to be a more frequent visitor

Oh for the good old days

Those were the days my friend we thought they d never end we d sing and dance for ever and a day

we lived the life we d choose

we d fight and never lose

Those were the days !!

You are exactly right The Founding Fathers never gave us a “Democracy ” where we would have to endure the Tyrannny of the majority .Thats what the “BILL of RIGHTS” was all about !  The process you talked about is called “Stari Decisis ” and has been used since the Lesser Kennedy (the Last One)pushed his liberal agenda on us.Its also part of CASE Law. If we stuck to the Founders well thought out precepts(Constitutional Republic)this erosion wouldent have occured. WE don’thave Constitutional Government any more,we have MOB RULE…also AKA Democracy.
