U.S takes flack for another drone attack on Pakistan. And like so many reports before it the numbers change from two to three then six. But what are we fighting really? We're trying to fight an ideology which is no more winnable than fighting a war on anger. No one on this planet should be charged with the crime of suspicion for if that was the case we'd all hang at some point, guilty or not. We've taken warfare to the point of a total lack of conscious but it set to go farther than that. Total unmanned UAVs are being worked on that require no operator at all. One has to wonder how that will work. Would it be a set it and forget it type system? Feed in some faces and hope the machine takes out it's target? No need for police, jail or trial, just the execution part. A sick thought but it's slowly coming true.
China just unveiled it's latest addition to the war machine with its' version a combat UAV called "Sharp Sword" complete with laser guided missiles. Got to keep up with the Jones I guess. Their fear is all the activity around Asia with countries taking up sides. A land dispute with Japan over an uninhabited volcanic island has nothing to do with property rights but yet another quest for oil. Maybe while they're at it they could take a minute to try and clean up the mess that's spewing out of Fukushima. Just a thought.
Lastly we have the financial mess which by the way was not corrected by the Dodd Frank bill. A little research shows that global debt stands at somewhere between $52 and $62 trillion but that's a paltry sum compared to the derivatives market which is now at $228 trillion. Lame stream media has done it's best to hide the fact that countries like Greece Spain and Italy are now broke and there's no way they can pay back the debt that was forced on them no matter how much austerity they endure. Can't squeeze blood out of a turnip. And note that Cypress is now accepting bitcoins that virtual currency because venders have no other choice. At what point the house of cards will fall once more is anyones guess. I thought for sure it would have happen by now.
Bank fails later...

I have not lived a day on this rock during my seventy years that there was not war and turmoil somewhere on this rock. I've decided to not let it get to me anymore being as it isn't in my area. Besides, it helps keep the monkeys numbers down.
Soup of the day at the Cornerhouse was Chicken Pot Pie, it was excellent.
and they say there's only one real ounce of gold for each 100 ounces of gold sold by certificates.
those fucking asians are real good at video games so they should be real good at drone warfare.
