Dubai Rotating Tower: MIND-BOGGLING...

There seems to be no limit to human imagination and to human capabilities where the only limit is what else; human imagination. I just concluded a short essay on what life would be 50, 100 and 150 years from now based on the January 2013 issue of scientific American when I saw this on YouTube. While we can predict the future; our predictions are just guesses at best. Sometimes; fictions are better predictor of the future. Watch this 3 minutes video and tell me if it is not fiction made real here and now…

Houses and building in the future will all be made in the factories that you just sort of assemble on a piece of land. A company in china is building sky scrapers in months not in years in fact; the company plans to build the world’ tallest building in just 3 months. Impossible…?

EMPIRE troops to Libya, Sudan, Algeria, Nigeria, Mali and 30 others African countries…

If you think for a moment that the empire is slowing down to take care of problems at home, you are wrong. Since the USA’s economy, if it ever recovers, will take a long time, the empire, like its predecessors, will expand its arms reach to plunder the natural resources of African nations under the pretext of what else; battling Islamic extremists laughably out to bring down the pantheons of democracy. If you are old enough to remember, it is precisely the same reasons that warmonger USA justifies its wars to stop evil godless communists from taking over the planet and taking away your freedom to do evil. The USA’s troops, according to this piece of news, will especially head to Libya, Nigeria, Algeria, Sudan, and Mali: sounds familiar? The empire has obviously declared war on Islam worldwide; the Middle East, South Asia, and now Africa.

US Deploying Troops To 35 African Countries 

By Russia Today

December 25, 2012 "Russia Today" -- The United States Army will be deploying troops to nearly three-dozen African nations in the coming year.

Soldiers based out of Fort Riley, Kansas’ 2nd Brigade, 1st Infantry Division will begin training in March 2013 in order to prepare for a project that will send troops to as many as 35 African nations, the Associated Press reports.

Citing a growing threat from extremist groups, including those with ties to al-Qaeda, the Department of Defense is hoping to install American soldiers overseas in order to prepare local troops there for any future crises as tensions escalate.

An Open Letter To All Americans: Shame On You!

QUOTE: I know it isn’t 87 a day. That’s how many die by getting shot: over 30,000 unnecessary deaths a year.

America already has one gun for every adult. Yet the NRA claims that increasing the number of firearms will make Americans safer – they’ll be able to defend themselves.

My comment:

I almost doubled up laughing at the above part of what I was reading. The National Rifle Association (NRA) wants Americans to have even more guns to be able to better defend themselves!

Defend themselves against what, their neighbors? Is this what the USA has become? Obviously, Americans cannot defend themselves against their government’s tyranny because the government has murderous machines (drones), stealth bombers, nuclear devices that can erase from the map an unruly state of the federation, meaning the citizenry is no match for the Empire’s universal soldiers.

Anyway, if you ask me…I say arm them to the teeth. Listen to the NRA. Let them Americans self-destruct. Think of the USA as the Star Wars “Battle Station” that, when disabled, will instantly trigger a cessation of hostilities around the planet. The fall of the beast will be suitable for the peace-loving people of planet Earth.

An afterthought: USA’s 300 million population is 5% of the world’s total, but it consumes 60 % of all psychiatric drugs sold in the market worldwide :-(

An Open Letter To All Americans: Shame On You!:

An Open Letter To All Americans: Shame On You!

By Jim Taylor

December 23, 2012 "Al Jazeera" --  The Sandy Hook shooting should not have surprised you. It’s simply the most recent in a series of multiple murders. Since 1966, when Charles Whitman climbed into a tower on the University of Texas campus in Austin and started picking off random victims, the pattern has been depressingly familiar. The list of massacres rolls off the tongue like a litany: Columbine, Aurora, Virginia Tech, Tucson, Fort Hood, Nickel Mines, Oak Ridge, Sandy Hook…

Has no one set it to music yet?

It’s always the same – go to a place where people gather, where they think they’re safe – a school, a theatre, a place of worship, a shopping mall -- and mow them down.

Cool; a tour of the inside of the International Space Station (ISS)

Guys this is real cool; a 25 minutes tour of the inside of the International Space Station (ISS) we heard so much about on the news. 

STUNNING APPS: mobile phone owners…must read!

I discovered something in my mobile application that is shockingly pleasant if not stunning. I am going to share it because it could mean life and death for some at moments you can never tell when it will happen.

I was shocked pleasantly I should say when I discovered in my Google plus photos; funny photos that my 8 years old daughter took with her Samsung Galaxy tab. She is in the process of learning how to use the camera in her tablet so she took photos and videos of anything that took her fancy. It gave me tremendously pleasant surprise but that is not the point. She is Manila and I am in KSA. It virtually transcended the borders of space and time. She has not the slightest hint neither did I that photos and videos she took will be instantly uploaded to my Google-plus. I have not told her yet but she will be wondering for the meantime how I got her photos that I just posted on her wall. 

For the millions of Filipino overseas foreign workers (OFWs) scattered all over the globe; this is tremendously useful apps but that is not all. In the Philippines where criminality is rampant; don’t resist if somebody poke a gun or knife at your side. Give him your mobile, your wallet and your pants as well. Go home and monitor your Google+ account until photos start appearing in your gallery. Take the photos to the police and whoa; huli ka :-)

If you are a facebook fanatic; Google plus does not require you to close your account. You can have both. The beauty of Google-plus instant upload is; you don’t even have to transfer the photos to your desk top or laptop.

TOP 3 OF THE TOP 10 SCIENCE STORIES OF 2012

The Top 10 Science Stories of 2012: Scientific American:

1.      Sandy Devastates the U.S. Northeastern Coast

Like a bad horror movie sequel, Hurricane Sandy churned up the U.S. east coast this fall, making landfall on the New Jersey shore just before Halloween and a little more than a year after Hurricane Irene took a similar path. Unlike Hurricane Irene, which devastated inland communities with torrential rains, Sandy's wrath came in the form of hurricane-force winds and a storm surge exceeding four meters—enough to reshape the New Jersey and Long Island shorelines as well as inundatecritical New York City infrastructure, such as subway tunnels and power stations, among other ill effects.

Meteorologists dubbed Sandy a “frankenstorm” for its meteorologic mash-up of a hurricane moving up from the south, a winter storm moving in from the west and a ridge of high pressure forcing the systems to merge and move inland. Add in the fact that the tropical cyclone alone stretched more than 1,500 kilometers across and boasted the lowest pressure of any storm ever recorded north of North Carolina—943 millibars—and Sandy certainly merited the designation “superstorm.”

Climate change seems to have intensified the event. A record summer sea ice melt in the Arctic likely helped create the weather conditions that forced Hurricane Sandy along its ill-fated track. The storm also gained "a little bit of extra kick from the slightly warmer than normal waters it will be tracking over," noted James Franklin, the branch chief of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Hurricane Center.

The disaster, which inflicted at least $50-billion worth of damage and claimed at least 250 lives, 131 in the U.S. alone, showed the vulnerability of our cities and coastal communities.  Sandy's legacy demands new thinking as to how best to prepare forfuture punishing storms, likely to be even stronger in our ever-warmer world. —David Biello

2. The Higgs Boson Is Detected

This year the best Fourth of July fireworks took place in Europe. On that warm summer’s day, in a conference room not far from the shores of Lake Geneva, physicists representing two experiments at the Large Hadron Collider celebrated the news four decades in the making: The Higgs boson had been found.

The next day’s front-page headline ofThe New York Times read “Physicists Find Elusive Particle Seen as Key to Universe,” but the Higgs discovery is about much more than enhancing our understanding of the subatomic world. The Higgs represents the final chapter in the story of 21st-century particle physics. It completes the Standard Model, the theoretical description of all the known particles and forces (and by some metrics the most successful theory in the history of science). From here, hopes are that scientists at the LHC will make discoveries that illuminate the universe beyond the Standard Model, providing fireworks for years to come. —Michael Moyer

3. NASA’s Curiosity Rover Lands on Mars

In 2012 Mars received a new six-wheeled visitor. NASA’s Curiosity rover—the biggest, most sophisticated explorer of its kind—landed safely on the Red Planet in August. The successful touchdown capped an elaborate landing sequence that had been dubbed “seven minutes of terror” and made mini-celebrities out of mission engineers (notably flight director Bobak Ferdowsi, aka the “Mohawk guy”).

Curiosity’s roughly two-year mission on Mars has only just begun—the rover is still trying out some of its instruments for the first time. But already the rover has foundevidence of an ancient riverbed and has detected tantalizing but unconfirmed hints of Martian carbon (the stuff of life on Earth) in the soil. Soon Curiosity will begin to explore Mount Sharp, a towering stack of sedimentary layers that should provide clues to the conditions that prevailed on ancient Mars, when water flowed more freely.—John Matson

ISRAEL AND CHRISTIANITY; the nauseating paradox of our time…

Israel’s plan has always been to keep talking peace even if takes forever and in the meantime; keep building settlements until nothing is left for the Palestinians to live except isolated rocky hills unsuitable for habitation. 

Make life so miserable that young Palestinians who left to study or visit abroad would never like to come back, or parents who want their children and grandchildren to have a better future will be forced to send them abroad to live with friends and relatives, never to return. It is working; of course, it should. It is designed by evil geniuses who believe that non-Jews are nothing more than dogs…no exception, and Christians worship the ground they walk on like divine royalty, not to mention that Jews crucified Jesus. 

PressTV - I don’t care what UN says about settlement activities: Netanyahu:

I don’t care what the UN says about settlement activities: Netanyahu.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he doesn’t care about what the United Nations says about Tel Aviv’s plan to build more settler units, pledging to escalate the construction activities.

Netanyahu made the remarks in an interview broadcasted in part on Israeli Channel 2 on Friday. 

Netanyahu described al-Quds (Jerusalem) as Israel’s capital and said it was not an occupied territory. 

"I don't care what the United Nations says," Netanyahu declared.
