The 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit’s Rapid Response Force Landed in Jordan on Tuesday under an ordered media blackout. No doubt in reponse to Syria taking back Qusayr, which is a key weapons trafficking city for Syria. They wanted it back to funnel new missiles it just received from Iran and Russia into Lebanon to attack Israel. As a former Marine, these are not our training forces. That’s what the Berets and other certain parts of the Army are for. They’re ground combat killers. Heads up Lebanon. Get out if you can.

BP announces plans for Alaska’s Prudhoe after Alaska oil tax change. BP plans for new drill rigs, evaluating projects on Alaska’s North Slope. Michael Morrell gave BP the keys to Alaska somehow. He just quit the CIA for a cush multimillion dollar adviser job at BP. I bet it was through private information he attained on the Alaska Governor while running the CIA. He blackmailed the Governor into allowing BP into one of the U.S.’s most protected areas. I am all for responsible drilling in parts of Alaska but certainly not by BP. Let a U.S. company reap profits from our sovereign resources. This is a very bad day for Alaska, our sovereignty, and our eco-system.

Russia protects one of its proxy governments, Syria, with S-300 missile defense system. Combined with the Iskander missiles Russia has already delivered, Syria is amply able to handle rebel attack. Which is why you are seeing the NATO backed rebels resort to using chemical weapons against the Syrian regime. Iran’s movement of it’s long range missiles last week(noone knows which ones yet) coupled with Syrias new capability should keep NATO at bay for a while longer. Expect more NATO backed terrorist bombings(including chemical) in Syria and Iran, Russia has forced NATO into this play. Also, Syrian and Iranian missile transfers to Hezbollah are much safer as a result of this, expect Telaviv to be hit by more sophisticated missiles from Lebanon soon.
Ria Novosti 28 May 2013 MOSCOW, May 28 (RIA Novosti) – Russia’s delivery of S-300 air defense systems to Syria is a restraining factor against possible foreign interference in the Syrian conflict, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said on Tuesday. “We believe such steps are to a great extent restraining some ‘hot heads’ … Continue reading
Shell and BP raided in probe into petrol price fixing: Oil firms investigated over claims they manipulated cost for more than a decade…..And then there was one, Chevron/Texaco has won the oil game I think. They will transition us into the SDR with Condi Rice as the next Vice President(Chevron/Texaco legend, they named an oil tanker after her, then changed the name when she joined the Bush II White House run. They didn’t want to give the impression of conflict of interest. Most likely a U.S. spy all along placed with Chevron now Chevron/Texaco. With this Benghazi scandal, the Republicans feel they have 2016 locked in for them. They will pair the pre-determined winner with Condi Rice, it’ll be Christie or Petraeus. I don’t think Petraeus accepts SecDef from Christie but maybe.

Researchers at Carnegie Mellon have introduced a system that enables someone to rub the arm of a sofa to “paint” a remote control for her TV or swipe a hand across an office door to post his calendar from which subsequent users can “pull down” an extended version.

Researchers at Carnegie Mellon’s Human-Computer Interaction Institute (HCII) used a ceiling-mounted camera and projector to record room geometries, sense hand gestures and project images on desired surfaces.
25 April 2013 eScience Researchers previously have shown that a depth camera system, such as Kinect, can be combined with a projector to turn almost any surface into a touchscreen. But now researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have demonstrated how these touch-based interfaces can be created almost at will, with the wave of a hand. … Continue reading
U.S. Defense Secretary Hagel just delivered a $10 Billion Advanced Weapons Package to it’s Arab Allies to counter deliveries from Russia and China of its advanced weapons systems and missiles to its Shanghai Cooperative Organization member countries in the region. Of most reported importance, Iran and Syria… I’m more worried about South America and chemically tipped MANPADS personally. This was just a weapons transfer among NATO partners to counter recent moves by the SCO, primarily its delivery of Iskander missiles to Syria. The Iskandar is a surface-to-surface missile that no missile defense system can trace or destroy. It makes you wonder if the U.S. and Israel think Russia just delivered Iskander’s to Iran. Russian Pacific Fleet ships just left the Iranian port of Bandar Abbas a day ago.
