Modern Shoulder-Fired SAMs Missing In Libya

Here’s some disconcerting news from Libya that confirms something we’ve all been worrying about for a while now — hundreds of shoulder-launched surface-to-air missiles have been looted from Gadhafi’s old military stockpiles.

These aren’t just obsolete 1970-vintage Soviet missiles that barely work anymore. According to CNN, dozens of SA-24 “Grinch” shoulder-fired SAMs have been looted from one base alone. The SA-24 is the latest variant of the Soviet-designed Igla SAM that’s been in production since the early 1980s. (the picture above shows a pro-Gadhafi fighter manning a multiple-launch SA-24 battery.)

There have already been cases of terrorists firing SA-7 Strelas but those missiles aren’t much of a threat against modern infrared countermeasures. Furthermore, many Strelas are quickly nearing the end of their service lives. However, the Grinch, which entered Russian military service in 2004, is designed to defeat modern infrared countermeasures and can shoot down planes flying up to 11,000 feet.

There are roughly 20,000 shoulder-fired SAMs in Libya, according to this CNN piece. Most of them are unaccounted for since they are among the first things to be looted from former regime facilities in Libya. This situation could be a bonanza for terrorists and arms dealers.

Panda Cub's Death Caused by Lung and Liver Problems

The National Zoo's panda cub died of a combination of lung and liver problems, zoo officials announced in a press conference Thursday morning.

The lungs of the six-day-old female cub were not fully formed, according to a necropsy. As a result, her liver didn't get enough oxygen, causing damage that led to her death Sept. 23. The cub may have been born prematurely, the zoo said.

The mortality rate for females born in captivity is 20 percent in the first year.

Joe Biden Laughing Through The Debat

The immediate reaction after the vice presidential debate on Thursday night was that Vice President Joe Biden's

excessive smiling and laughing during the arguments delivered by his opponent was "openly contemptuous and disrespectful."

Biden also mocked Paul Ryan by comparing him to President John F. Kennedy, and went into a long monologue about his long friendship with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin "BiBi" Netanyahu.

Below is a chronological mashup of the moments when Biden laughed through Paul Ryan's

answers and rebuttals. Of the nine topics covered, Biden managed to control his laughter only in the last one on abortion (and in the closing statements.)

FOR MARYLAND, THE FATALITY COUNTDOWN IS ON

Toward Zero Deaths Aims To Eliminate Fatalities on Maryland Roadways

Salisbury, MD. – Every 18 hours a person was killed on Maryland roadways in 2011, totaling 486 deaths for the year. Preventing such daily tragedies from striking Maryland families is why Maryland law enforcement agencies are joining together for a statewide campaign called Toward Zero Deaths.

From speeding to seatbelt compliance to driving while impaired, Toward Zero Deaths is focused on reducing highway mortality. The effort will focus on the causes of highway fatalities with public health efforts, communications outreach and other elements. This initiative brings together law enforcement, highway safety officials, emergency medical responders, and champions in the community in an effort to change the perception of safety on the roadways. Airplane, railway and ocean liner deaths are not acceptable. Why are motor vehicle deaths accepted as part of the cost for driving on our roadways?

The Maryland State Police Salisbury Barrack “E” is proud to join in the Toward Zero Deaths campaign, which kicked off August 1. “For too long, we as a society have accepted highway mayhem as a tragic but unremarkable aspect of modern life,” said Corporal Myers. “Toward Zero Deaths is about fundamentally changing the way we look at blood shed on the highway.”

“We are fully committed to doing everything in our power to drive Maryland highway fatalities ‘toward zero deaths.’ Motorists need to slow down, buckle up, pay attention to the rules of the road, and make smart decisions before getting behind the wheel. If they fail to do so, we will pull them over,” warned Corporal Myers.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the last six months of the year are the deadliest on the state’s roadways. Over a five year span, there were 13 percent more fatalities on the roads in Maryland from July to December than during the first six months.

Prescription Drug Abuse A Growing Problem

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said prescription drug abuse is the fastest growing drug problem.

Many cases of prescription drug overdose are because unwanted medications are improperly stored at home.

It's reported that about 70 percent of kids actually get them from friends and relatives.

Lindsay Lohan Endorsed Mitt Romney Today And Here's Why That Really Matters

Lindsay Lohan came out in support of Mitt Romney yesterday.

While most would at first glance write this off as gossip, it's the latest instance of an evolving trend that jeopardizes President Obama's chance at winning the White House.

Lohan, by all accounts, is a typical low-information voter. And low information voters, like it or not, will decide this election.

The first person to pick out this trend was Dave Weigel at Slate after sportswriter Buzz Bissinger endorsed Romney after his positive debate performance

. Bissinger, Weigel notes, was a low information voter. He ignored the election, watched the debate, took everyone's word for it on the facts, and backed Romney.

Violent Street Gang: US Targets Finances of MS-13

The Obama administration declared the ultra-violent street gang MS-13 to be an international criminal group on Thursday, an unprecedented crackdown targeting the finances of the sprawling U.S. and Central American gang infamous for hacking and stabbing victims with machetes.

The Treasury Department formally designated MS-13, or Mara Salvatrucha, a transnational criminal organization. The aim is to freeze it out of the U.S. financial system and seize what are estimated to be millions of dollars in criminal profits from drug and human smuggling and other crimes committed in this country.

THE TRUE ENEMIES OF FREEDOM

How To Identify The True Enemies Of Freedom
Submitted by Brandon Smith of Alt-Market.com

The greatest and most often exploited weakness of any revolution for freedom is the inability of the downtrodden populace to identify the true enemy. History is littered with the shattered remnants of rebellions that were built upon legitimate causes but suffered because of misdirection and faulty assumptions. For centuries, the real culprits of tyranny have found ways to redirect the ire of those they harmed in their quest for power, usually by offering a tempting scapegoat that appeals to the public’s darker impulses; their biases, their prejudices, their fears, etc. Usually, this ends in an even more pervasive totalitarian environment as the insurgents and the scapegoats decimate each other while the elites sit back and enjoy the show.

Even the most successful battles against despotism, like the American Revolution, often only had a distant sense of who they were really fighting against. This is what makes the 21st Century extraordinarily unique in the annals of civilization. For the first time in human record, the common man has all the information necessary to examine and define the real culprits behind his subjugation. The truth is at our fingertips, all we have to do is reach out and take it…

Because of the decentralized nature of information flowing through the alternative web media, our ability to generate opposition to organized elitism has never been greater. However, this also means the stakes have never been higher. The establishment understands well that their criminality is clearly visible, and eventually, they will be personally subject to the rage of the people. The next fight could very well be the last for them.

Is It The Linchpin Of The Obama Campaign's Foreign Donor Scandal?

On 30 October 2008, I wrote about a bizarre idiosyncrasy I discovered in the Obama fundraising website, which was designed by a company named Blue State Digital.

Will the innovations never cease? Yesterday I described several, eh, unique capabilities pioneered by the Obama campaign in the area of campaign contributions.

Among them, failure to do even basic credit-card validation; accepting untraceable prepaid credit cards... [etc.]

Anyhow, an anonymous tipster mentioned that checking out the source code of the Obama donation website... would reveal some interesting logic. Specifically that IP addresses of the donors can be easily spoofed through a hidden field in the form. The tipster's guess was (and I concur) that the Obama campaign is recording the spoofable IP address... not the real IP address as delivered by the web server.

It's web security 101, folks. Because IP addresses map back to the original source network (your ISP, your company, etc.), the web server's log-file records the actual source IP address of the request. They certainly don't record anything that the requester provides as the genuine address.

Put simply, there's no reason to include a hidden form field for IP address. It is there for one reason alone: IP forgery -- forging the computer addresses of donations to disguise their true sources.

The net result is that IP addresses recorded in this manner can't truly be resolved to a real location. Genius!

Just chalk it up to yet another startling innovation from the minds of the most creative geniuses on Earth. When it comes to accepting money from all comers, that is.

This Keynes Quote Sums Up Our Worst Fears About Easy Monetary Policy

Societe Generale's Dylan Grice hasn't been thrilled by the Federal Reserve's decision to embark on QE3 — an effort to lower interest rates by buying bonds. And many of the world's central banks are pursuing aggressive monetary policy.

In response, Grice has previously said "the defining feature of coming decades will be a Great Disorder".

By this, he means that currency debasement would eventually bring about social disorder.

At today's Big Picture Conference, Grice reiterated this argument when he posted this quote from John Maynard Keynes. Via CapitalismWithoutFailure.com:

Mayor Ireton Is So Full Of BS It Isn't Funny

United Central Bank Commits to Demolishing the Thrift Travel Inn

In an effort to keep the public informed regarding the Thrift Travel Inn, Mayor James Ireton, Jr. would like to provide the following update.

In a telephone conversation between Mr. Carter Root, Vice President of United Central Bank, and Mr. Tom Stevenson, Director of Neighborhood Services and Code Compliance, Mr. Root confirmed that in fact, United Central Bank intends to satisfy the demolition order for the Thrift Travel Inn.*

It is recognized that time is required to secure the necessary permits and approvals before the actual demolition can begin. This will move the actual demolish date beyond the compliance date of October 20, 2012.

Mr. Stevenson stated, “While the city reserves the right to issue citations for failure to raze the structure before the October 20th deadline, it would be in the best interest of the city to partner with United Central Bank to once and for all, eliminate this blighting influence.”

Mayor James Ireton, Jr said, “United Central Bank is proceeding with obtaining the proper permits from the State and the City. The draw on City services should come to an end in the coming weeks. I’m proud of Neighborhood Services and Code Compliance for constantly working on behalf of revitalization and the demolition of this property.”

Publishers Notes: Look, NONE of this was accomplished by the Mayor or Tom Stevenson, with all due respect. Council President Terry Cohen did an interview weeks ago with WBOC stating the City taxpayers should NOT have to pony up the money the demolish this structure. She went on to say the the Bank should be providing the funds to tear it down. I personally sat in the Work Session where Council President Cohen stated this exact same thing even before the WBOC interview.

The IDEA was created by the Council. Once again Mayor Jim Ireton purposely ignored their wisdom and instructions to have the Mayor's Office follow through with THEIR request.

Either Jim Ireton simply doesn't do his homework, (clueless) or he's so deep into the national election he simply doesn't care about Salisbury and local issues. One thing if for sure Ladies & Gentlemen, Mayor Jim Ireton had nothing to do with this and again, a good leader will give credit where credit is due. There is no mention of Council President Cohen in the above Press Release.

You also have to wonder if WBOC will recall their interview with Cohen and give the Council the credit they deserve on this matter.

Voter Fraud?

Ryan Hits Biden On Obama Debate Collapse

Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan couldn't resist a little gloating about the presidential race Thursday night, when he faced off against Democratic incumbent Joe Biden in their only debate of the 2012 race.

Taunting his opponent during a heated exchange over Democratic health care reforms, Wisconsin Congressman suggested that Biden was perhaps feeling the pressure after President Barack Obama's disastrous debate performance in Denver last week.

"Mr. Vice President, I know you are under a lot of duress to make up for lost ground," he said. "But I think people will be better served if we don't keep interrupting each other."

Biden bursts out laughing: "Don't take all the four minutes then."

Today's Survey Question 10-12-12

Who won last nights debate?

CNN POLL: Ryan Beats Biden In VP Debate

Republican candidate Paul Ryan beat Vice President Joe Biden, 48 percent to 44 percent, in the vice presidential debate Thursday night, according to a nationwide poll conducted by CNN right after the debate.

While that number is close — the results are with in the poll's 5-point margin

of error — Ryan gained a more significant lead among debate-watchers on the questions of likeability and clarity.

The Wisconsin Congressman lead Biden by 10 points (51-41 percent) in likeability, and held a 50 percent to 41 percent advantage on the question of which candidate expressed himself better. Significantly, Ryan also led slightly on the question of which candidate is more in touch with the problems of everyday voters.

DOES BARACK OBAMA REALLY WANT TO WIN?

Does the President really want a second term? One would think that if Barack Obama truly wanted to be reelected he would’ve created a record to run on; rather than a record to run from.

After four years of his Presidency two things have come into fruition. The President never really had any intentions of delivering on his campaign promises. And the other is that the hope and change that Barack Obama promised us is not the hope and change that we’ve received.

When President Obama won the Presidency four years ago he did it with a wide and diverse coalition of voters. He won about 43% of the White vote, over 95% of the Black vote, and 78% of the Jewish vote. Those are some very impressive numbers.

Additionally, he overwhelmingly won the youth vote, independents, undecided voters, and the Hispanic vote by large margins. Barack Obama ran as a new kind of Democrat. He portrayed himself as a champion of the middle class and ran on a moderate platform. The American people saw Obama’s hope and change message as a positive new direction and believed him when he said there were no blue states or red states.

Chris Wallace Slams Joe Biden's Debate Demeanor

Fox News anchor Chris Wallace hammered Vice President Joe Biden's excessive smiling and laughing during the debate, saying that he's never seen anyone be so disrespectful in a presidential or vice presidential debate.

And Wallace said that he'd seen most of them — all but the first four in 1960. He called his demeanor "unprecedented."

"I don't believe I've ever seen a debate in which one participant was as openly disrespectful of the other as Biden was to Paul Ryan tonight," Wallace said.

He added: "It was openly contemptuous and disrespectful."

Univ. Official On Leave After Signing Same-Sex Marriage Petition

The chief diversity officer at Gallaudet University has been placed on paid leave after she signed a petition to put a same-sex marriage referendum on the ballot in Maryland.

Gallaudet President T. Alan Hurwitz announced Angela McCaskill's leave in a statement Wednesday. Hurwitz said McCaskill "participated in a legislative initiative that some feel is inappropriate" for someone in her position.

Gallaudet is the nation's leading university for the deaf and hard of hearing.

FINALLY, an Italian Restaurant in Salisbury that reminds you of Moms home style cooking! My Father and I went to Aqua last night to try out their food and let me tell you, you cannot beat the quality of food and one thing is for sure, NO ONE will deliver you more food on your plate then Aqua.

I've dropped in three times this week to watch ball games and let me assure you, every one raved about the food. Last night was evidence of what I had been hearing all week.

The Owners of this Restaurant and Bar have put everything they own on the line. I'm so confident in this business, I'd put my own money up if they ever needed it, that's how good it is.

Take the time to visit them and enjoy an out of this world Italian meal, you'll not regret it. Be prepared to bring a huge doggie bag home with you because you'll get that much for your money. Oh, let's not forget. There's not one item on their menu that is over $15.00.

The Bar is open until 2 AM and packs in quite a crowd. There's an additional lounge for the Bar overflow with comfortable chairs and a couple of leather couches as well.

Missing in Action: Stimulus Sheriff Joe Biden

Remember when President Obama bragged about Joe Biden’s fiscal discipline cred in 2009? “To you, he’s Mr. Vice President, but around the White House, we call him the Sheriff,” Obama warned government employees. “Because if you’re misusing taxpayer money, you’ll have to answer to him.”

Fast-forward to 2012. Call in the search teams. Since being appointed the nation’s stimulus spending cop, Sheriff Joe has taken a permanent donut break. He’s AWOL on oversight. In fact, he’s been bubble-wrapped, boxed and kept completely out of sight. The garrulous gaffe machine hasn’t sat down for a national media interview in five months.

The Democrats’ trillion-dollar “American Recovery and Reinvestment Act,” however, keeps piling up waste, failure, fraud and debt. Who benefited most? Big government cronies.

According to Investor’s Business Daily this week, a new analysis by Ohio State University economics professor Bill Dupor reported that “(m)ore than three-quarters of the jobs created or saved by President Obama’s economic stimulus in the first year were in government.”

Darden Restaurants To Slash Worker Hours Due To ObamaCare

Darden Restaurants is a huge company. It owns Olive Garden and Red Lobster amongst many others, so when this company decides it will start cutting hours due to the imminent implementation of ObamaCare, you had better listen. From the Orlando Sentinel:

Darden, the world’s largest casual-dining company and one of the nation’s 30 largest employers, said it offers health insurance to all its approximately 185,000 employees. Many are offered a limited-benefit plan. That type of coverage is being phased out under health-care changes, which will ban annual limits for most plans.

In an experiment apparently aimed at keeping down the cost of health-care reform, Orlando-based Darden Restaurants has stopped offering full-time schedules to many hourly workers in at least a few Olive Gardens, Red Lobsters and LongHorn Steakhouses.

Doctor Prescribing Stimulants To Poor Kids Indiscriminately

Some doctors are prescribing stimulants like Adderall, medicines created to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, indiscriminately to low-income kids who are doing badly in school, a new New York Times article says.

Michael Anderson, the doctor that Alan Schwarz interviewed for the article, says these stimulant medications, help kids stay focused, decrease their acting up in class, and improve their grades. The article says:

"I don’t have a whole lot of choice," said Dr. Anderson, a pediatrician for many poor families in Cherokee County, north of Atlanta. "We’ve decided as a society that it’s too expensive to modify the kid’s environment. So we have to modify the kid."

Dr. Anderson is one of the more outspoken proponents of an idea that is gaining interest among some physicians. They are prescribing stimulants to struggling students in schools starved of extra money — not to treat A.D.H.D., necessarily, but to boost their academic performance.

New Lincoln Movie Is Another Obama Promotion?

Spielberg says "Lincoln" is no political football ... Steven Spielberg offered a cinematic vision of President Abraham Lincoln's battle to outlaw slavery in "Lincoln," which had a sneak preview that is already generating early buzz of awards for star Daniel Day-Lewis. After a screening at the New York Film festival on Monday, Spielberg acknowledged the pressure of bringing to the big screen one of America's most revered political figures, and he side-stepped questions about its relevance to current politics ahead of the November 6 U.S. presidential elections. – Yahoo

Dominant Social Theme: This movie, "Lincoln," is just a coincidence.

Free-Market Analysis: As we analyze dominant social themes, we find the Lincoln meme to be ubiquitous. The idea, of course, is that transformative change comes from the state itself and those who
are elected "leaders."

The idea of transformative change is not restricted to "leaders" but to any agency of government. Just
yesterday we wrote of a movie called "Argo" that celebrated CIA involvement in a rescue in Iran.

But we pointed out that the larger frame of reference was entirely absent. In fact, the CIA and other entities had cooperated in destabilizing Iran in the first place.

Race Cards

If you are sick and tired of seeing politicians and others playing the race card, or if you are just disgusted with the grossly dishonest way racial issues in general are portrayed, then you should get a copy of Ann Coulter's new book, Mugged. Its subtitle is: "Racial Demagoguery from the Seventies to Obama."

Few things are as rare as an honest book about race. This is one of the very few, and one of the very best.

Many people will learn for the first time from Ann Coulter's book how a drunken hoodlum and ex-convict, who tried to attack the police, was turned into a victim and a martyr by the media, simply by editing a videotape and broadcasting that edited version, over and over, across the nation.

They will learn how a jury – which saw the whole unedited videotape and acquitted the police officers of wrongdoing – was portrayed as racist, setting off riots that killed innocent people who had nothing to do with the Rodney King episode.

Meanwhile, the people whose slick editing set off this chain of events received a Pulitzer Prize.
Even the Republican President of the United States, George H.W. Bush, expressed surprise at the jury's verdict, after seeing the edited videotape, while the jury saw the whole unedited videotape. Even Presidents should keep their mouths shut when they don't know all the facts. Perhaps especially Presidents.

GOVERNOR MARTIN O'MALLEY STATEMENT ON PASSING OF SENATOR CLARENCE M. MITCHELL III

BALTIMORE, MD - Governor Martin O'Malley today released the following statement on the passing of Senator Clarence M. Mitchell III:

"The City of Baltimore and the State of Maryland today lost a true public servant. Senator Mitchell dedicated his life to secure equal rights for all under the law, to help nurture and mentor a new generation of political leaders and to engage his community in the political process. He understood that there is far more that unites us than divides and that as public servants, it is our responsibility to advance the greater good. My thoughts and prayers are with the Mitchell family on this difficult day."

The CEO Letter Heard Around The World "Vote Obama; Lose Your Job"

To All My Valued Employees,

As most of you know our company, Westgate Resorts, has continued to succeed in spite of a very dismal economy. There is no question that the economy has changed for the worse and we have not seen any improvement over the past four years. In spite of all of the challenges we have faced, the good news is this: The economy doesn't currently pose a threat to your job. What does threaten your job however, is another 4 years of the same Presidential administration. Of course, as your employer, I can't tell you whom to vote for, and I certainly wouldn't interfere with your right to vote for whomever you choose. In fact, I encourage you to vote for whomever you think will serve your interests the best. [...]

Now, the economy is falling apart and people like me who made all the right decisions and invested in themselves are being forced to bail out all the people who didn't. The people that overspent their paychecks suddenly feel entitled to the same luxuries that I earned and sacrificed 42 years of my life for. Yes, business ownership has its benefits, but the price I've paid is steep and not without wounds. Unfortunately, the costs of running a business have gotten out of control, and let me tell you why: We are being taxed to death and the government thinks we don't pay enough. We pay state taxes, federal taxes, property taxes, sales and use taxes, payroll taxes, workers compensation taxes and unemployment taxes. I even have to hire an entire department to manage all these taxes. The question I have is this: Who is really stimulating the economy? Is it the Government that wants to take money from those who have earned it and give it to those who have not, or is it people like me who built a company out of his garage and directly employs over 7000 people and hosts over 3 million people per year with a great vacation?

Obviously, our present government believes that taking my money is the right economic stimulus for this country. The fact is, if I deducted 50% of your paycheck you'd quit and you wouldn't work here. I mean, why should you? Who wants to get rewarded only 50% of their hard work? Well, that's what happens to me.

Selling space is $10, please bring your own table. Proceeds from the space rental goes to the Resident Council. Set up beginning at 6am. 200 Civic Avenue, Salisbury. Call 410-749-1466
