If you have ever wondered about the government's ability to control the civilian airwaves, you will have your answer on November 9th.

On that day, federal authorities are going to shut off all television and radio communications simultaneously at 2:00PM EST to complete the first ever test of the national Emergency Alert System (EAS).

This isn't a wild conspiracy theory. The upcoming test is posted on the Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau website.

Only the President has the authority to activate EAS at the national level, and he has delegated that authority to the Director of FEMA. The test will be conducted jointly by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through FEMA, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) National Weather Service (NWS).

Obama Ends War With Iraq, Aims To Begin Wars With Persia And Pakistan

Barack Obama is a clever liar, more clever than George W. Bush. On Saturday, Obama said:
"The drawdown in Iraq allowed us to refocus on Afghanistan and achieve major victories against al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden."
President Obama deserves big props for his overall performance as a puppet and especially for this new lie. It is very clever and funny. Those who know the truth are entertained, and the sheep feel self-satisfaction for investing their trust in Mr. Obama and being rewarded for it.

But there is a sad element in all this. Obama's "major victories" in the war on terror are completely fake. Obama didn't order Bin Laden's death. He didn't stop al-Qaeda because al-Qaeda doesn't exist. He didn't liberate Libya. He didn't end the war in Iraq. He has done nothing worthy and good as President.

Obama is a pathological liar, everything that comes out of his mouth is fiction. His foreign policy consists of looting nations, raping the truth, and killing innocent people. But he announces the deaths of manufactured villains Bin Laden and Gaddafi, and all of a sudden he's declared a "war-time president." Wow. What a Great Leader Obama is. Much Praise Be Upon Him, The Merciful Allahu Obama.

'Messengers of Death': Are Drones Creating a New Global Arms Race?

A photo of a "Reaper" drone that is operated from the Kandahar Air Field in Afghanistan. In 2002, the US military spent around $550 million (400 million euros) on drones. In 2011, the figure was nearly $5 billion.
They are difficult to detect, deadly and cheap to build. Despite the dubious legality of assassinating suspected terrorists and Taliban without a trial, the market for drones is heating up around the world. With Israel and China moving into the market, are we about to see a new arms race?

Plastic tanks and miniature models of fighter jets are on display in Steven Zaloga's home office, and his bookshelves are overflowing with volumes about the history of war. War is Zaloga's area of expertise, but even more than that, it's his business. For 36 years, the historian has analyzed global trends in weapons. He currently works for the Teal Group, a renowned defense consulting firm in Fairfax, Virginia, a suburb of Washington.

Zaloga knows exactly how and where war can be profitable at any given point. And when he discusses which weapons have the best business prospects, he doesn't spare a glance for his models of tanks and fighter jets. Those weapons belong in history books.

The future belongs to drones, remote-controlled unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) equipped with sensitive reconnaissance electronics and powerful precision weapons. Drones provide the kind of weapons system strategists have always wished for: They allow a military force to exert power while minimizing its own risks, and to carry out precise, deadly strikes, without sending its own soldiers into danger.

"Gaddafi murder barbaric" - Moyo

Political Scientist, Professor Jonathan Moyo said the way in which the former Libyan leader was dragged around on the streets, kicked, punched and undressed was barbaric and brutal.
Analysts loyal to President Robert Mugabe have lined up to described the murder of former Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi as a return to what they called the dark days of imperialism and slavery where captured victims were treated with disrespect and in a dehumanising manner.

They castigated the total disregard of international law that was displayed by NATO in the killing of Gaddafi.

The West has wildly celebrated the death of Colonel Gaddafi.

While the demise of the former Libyan leader is a victory for the West, what is sad is that Africans have also blindly joined the bandwagon.

Zimbabwean analysts say the manner in which Colonel Gaddafi was killed is a return to the dark days of slavery and imperialism.

Monster Prediction From BofA: Another US Debt Downgrade Is Coming In Just A Few Weeks

In an analyst note, Bofa/ML Ethan S. Harris drops a bit of a bombshell prediction:
We expect a moderate slowdown in the beginning of next year, as two small policy shocks - another debt downgrade and fiscal tightening - hit the economy. The "not-so-super" Deficit Commission is very unlikely to come up with a credible deficit-reduction plan. The committee is more divided than the overall Congress. Since the fall-back plan is sharp cuts in discretionary spending, the whole point of the Committee is to put taxes and entitlements on the table. However, all the Republican members have signed the Norquist "no taxes" pledge and with taxes off the table it is hard to imagine the liberal Democrats on the Committee agreeing to significant entitlement cuts. The credit rating agencies have strongly suggested that further rating cuts are likely if Congress does not come up with a credible long-run plan. Hence, we expect at least one credit downgrade in late November or early December when the super Committee crashes.

Gaddafi unburied as Libya declares "liberation"

Libyan women celebrate in the streets of Tripoli following news of Muammar Gaddafi's capture and death.
Libya's new rulers declared the country freed from Muammar Gaddafi's 42 years of one-man rule Sunday, saying the "Pharaoh of the times" was now in history's garbage bin and a future of democracy and postwar reconciliation beckoned.

But as thousands gathered in the second city Benghazi to hear authorities announce "liberation," Gaddafi's rotting body remained unburied and on show to locals wearing masks against the stench in a cold store in Misrata, a situation that may vex some Muslims for whom rapid burial of the dead is a duty.

There was no direct reference to what some outsiders saw as Misrata's ghoulish display in a speech by National Transitional Council (NTC) chief Mustafa Abdel Jalil, who kneeled in prayer after taking the podium in Benghazi.

He renewed an earlier promise to uphold Islamic law.

"All the martyrs, the civilians and the army had waited for this moment. But now they are in the best of places ... eternal heaven," he said, shaking hands with supporters.

Some fear Jalil, a mild-mannered former justice minister, will find it hard to impose his will on his fractious revolutionary alliance, pointing to Misrata's insistence on displaying Gaddafi's body and that of his son Mo'tassim and to the lack of a clear account about how they met their end.

There is international disquiet about increasingly graphic and disturbing images on the Internet of abuse of a body that appears to be Gaddafi's following his capture and the fall of his hometown of Sirte Thursday.

Gaddafi's wig: A dictator undone by vanity?

Libyan leader Moammar Gaddafi, right, gives the sign of peace at the opening of the 38th Organization for African Unity Summit in Durban, South Africa, July 8, 2002.
The long, strange tale of Moammar Gaddafi is at an end, after the former Libyan leader was shot and killed in his hometown of Sirte Thursday.

At the hospital, Libyan officials ran a number of tests, including on hair samples for DNA, to prove the identity of the dictator who had been on the run for the last two months. The hair was not Moammar Gaddafi's. The slain leader was wearing a wig.

Libya's interim prime minister, Mahmoud Jibril, told The Washington Post's Mary Beth Sheridan in an interview that Gaddafi was discovered by revolutionary fighters hiding in "a big pipe of the sewage system." He was shot when a gunfight broke out between his security detail and the Libyan fighters. At a hospital in Misurata, samples of Gaddafi's DNA, blood, hair and saliva were taken and analyzed to confirm the body was actually Gaddafi.

The hair "turned out to be a wig," said the prime minister.

US: Stupid People Do Stupid Things

Really stupid people repeat the same failed process over and over ad infinitum. Please pay attention, Dr. Chu! Einstein said it was the proof of insanity.

Case in point is the Obama administration's solar power loan guarantee program. Not one of the loans made since 2009 have proven successful. The most costly failure, as of now, is Solyndra at $535 million. After Solyndra received its loan it laid off 1100 workers and filed for bankruptcy, in which it had the government (Department of Energy) restructure the loan to put the taxpayers behind the bus, losing US taxpayers $535 million.

Before that, Spectrawatt went belly up and we lost $500,000. Spectrawatt was one of 13 companies given grants. How many are still in business is anyone's guess. We can't even find a list on the Internet.

All this has not satisfied the Obama energy department headed up by Dr. Chu. On the last days of availability he doled out another $4 billion. The question now is, is it even possible to run printing presses fast enough to keep up with Obama's insane spending? More astutely, how did Solyndra wind up with all that money? Seems that a review of the George Kaiser Family Foundation shows it was the grantor of $10,000 to the Urban Health Initiative at the University of Chicago Medical Center, the very place where Michelle Obama was employed, at a salary of almost a quarter-million dollars per year, after her husband became a federal senator and had siphoned a massive federal grant to the same institution.
