News Sunday Morning News: iPad Heist Arrest, Mars, and Cartel Coal
Posted by Unpaid Intern on Sun, Nov 18, 2012 at 8:41 AM

A woman fleeing from Kitsap County Sheriff's deputies in Silverdale allegedly slammed into another car, killing one person and injuring another. The 28-year-old driver was arrested for investigation of vehicular homicide, vehicular assault, possession of cocaine, possession of heroin, and possession of methamphetamine.
Mission to Mars: NASA says that after reviewing data gathered by the Curiosity rover, astronauts can safely walk the Martian surface without overexposure to radiation. Granted, the rover has yet to gather information during a "solar event," but when it comes to a barren orb of red sand, this is positive news.
Holy Troubles: Gaza is holding its breath, bracing for an Israeli invasion after the Israeli Defense Forces called up 75,000 reservists for duty.
Animal Cruelty: Intruders at the Zoo Boise are suspected to have killed a Patas monkey. Two men clad in dark clothes were spotted near the primate exhibit by a security guard but weren't caught.
iPad (Mini) Heist: A JFK cargo worker was arrested in connection with the iPad heist last Monday. Police think that the suspect may have been a look-out while two others loaded 3,600 iPad Minis onto a truck.
More O' Dem: Ron Barber, the Arizona Democrat who replaced U.S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords, officially won reelection, surmounting his Republican opponent's election day lead. Barber is Giffords's former aide and was shot in the face alongside her in 2011.
Pray On: On his visit to a Buddhist monastery in Thailand, President Obama asked a monk to pray to resolve the fiscal cliff.
Coal Trade: At least one Mexican drug cartel is getting rich off coal.

Meanwhile at the Republican governors' conference, the doubling-down begins: Obama won because of "gifts to his base" and a far superior ground game (and oh yeah, their candidate kinda sucked), absolutely nothing to do with the issues, so no mandate and certainly no need to compromise. Maybe just lighten the tone a little.
In Evangelicaland, some leaders (with gay friends!) say it's time to stop the war rhetoric and start reaching out for "compromise."

Serious Questions
The FBI's disinformation campaign
We hear about the FBI's criminal investigation based upon bitchy emails to Jill Kelley, where there was no commission of a crime?
This is a serious misuse and abuse of government funds!
We hear about a national security investigation based upon bitchy emails to Jill Kelley, where there was no threat to national security?
This is a serious misuse and abuse of government funds!
The serious question which should be asked --- and must be investigated --- is why FBI director, Robert Mueller III, is misusing and abusing government funds in this manner?
Where was the crime? Where was the threat to national security?
Why is the FBI spending government funds in their disinformation campaign, and who authorized it?
As of this moment, the only clear and present danger to national security is FBI director, Robert Mueller III and his motivations in these events.
A full-scale national security investigation into the background of Robert Mueller III is of the utmost urgency.
Question
What was Mueller's involvement in the failed investigation into BCCI and any White House connections to the Bush (#1) presidency when Mueller was chief of the DOJ's criminal division?
Question
What are the financial connections between the Mueller family fortune and the Rockefeller family?
Question
What are the familial connections between Mueller, and his family, to Richard Bissell and Gen. Cabell, two of the three top CIA people President Kennedy fired before he was assassinated? (The third was Allen Dulles, a possible Nazi collaborator. Source: Congressional investigations, along with the investigation by the state government of New York, back during the 1940s, which uncovered collaboration between Rockefeller, Mellon and Morgan and Hitler's Third Reich. Example: Rockefeller's treasonous selling of oil, by way of Spain and Switzerland, to Hitler's Third Reich during World War II. The representative of Rockefeller and Mellon interests, both outside and inside the government: Allen Dulles.)
Whether you refer to this as the Petraeus Affair, or Operation Bitchy Emails, massive misuse and abuse of government funds is the only crime which has occurred.
The probable perpetrator: Robert Mueller III, the FBI director.
Is Mr. Mueller positioning himself for a 2016 run for the presidency? Was Petraeus a possible competitor and was that how Mueller viewed Petraeus and any opportunity to besmirch and remove him?
These are the only real --- and serious --- questions on this subject!
A Recap on the Political Appointments of Robert Mueller III:
When the BCCI investigation moved closer to the Bush (#1) White House, Mueller was appointed to the position of chief of the DOJ's criminal division, and the investigation fizzled out.
One week prior to the attacks of 9/11, Mueller was appointed as director of the FBI by the son of Bush #1, George W. Bush.
Each appointment occurred at the most auspiciously convenient of times?
And immediate national security investigation of Robert Mueller III is of the utmost importance!
Great is the truth, but still greater, from a practical point of view, is silence about the truth. --- Aldous Huxley

Much to my chagrin, a Mars mission won't happen in my lifetime unless I live to be a very, very old guy. I guess the time frame thrown around is 290 days there and 290 days back (approx. 9 months each way). I assume there'll have to be more space stations between Earth and Mars to accomplish the mission - which will take some time. I'm sorry that I don't know this, but has anyone been in zero gravity for eighteen months? I realize Mars has its own gravity, but essentially, the astronauts would be weightless for a year and a half. And wouldn't the spacecraft have to be way larger than what put us on the Moon? I can't imagine anyone being that cooped up in a capsule for that long. So, wouldn't the journey require something more in keeping with the size of the space shuttle?
The adventurer in me longs to see this happen. I mean...c'mon!...space travel! But the realist in me thinks maybe non-manned missions are the way to go. Saves a lot of money and possible lives.

holy troubles, ha ha ha, good joke, see""Over the past three days, 737 rockets from Gaza were fired upon Israel: 492 landed, but 245 were intercepted by the system, Israel Defense Forces said Saturday" and they may need to invade to stop the rockets but ha, ha, it's the holy land, yuck yuck.

What?
Nothing about how the PAC sucks and blows?
Did you see that Oregon pussied out Saturday?
They had an appointment at the National Championship game.
And a slim chance of winning (as opposed to their zero point zero zero percent chance against Auburn last outing...) because it looked like K State would have been their opponent.
Now the winner of the SEC championship game between Alabama and Georgia will play for the title.
No doubt the South wants to thank the Pacific NW.
Really.
Pussies....
(btw, please don't take your new pervert homosexual marriages down South.
Their State Constitutions outlaw them.
Even from other states.
Just so you're clear.
We'd hate to see you get your heads busted or anything.)
(just kidding.
go.
honeymoon in Gulf Shores.
flaunt your wedding rings.
hee hee hee.....)

"Holy Troubles" Are you saying Jews are attacking Muslims in Gaza? B/C that would be exactly wrong. The State of Israel is attacking a bunch of impoverished refugees pushed off their land by said State.
It is an effort to persuade them to get out of the hell Israel has made of their land.
Well, haha Israel. Palestinians will not give up their land.
But if there is an actual hell, the leaders of Israel belong in it, along with their arms merchant in chief, Obamayahoo.

@7 Bauhaus. The record for consecutive weightlessness is 14 months. This was on Mir, no less (where exercising was not as easy as it is on the ISS). But, you know, Mars probably has enough gravity so that combined with exercise, it's probably adequate to protect a Martian's heart and bones indefinitely.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valeri_Poly…
Travelers to Mars may have to stay there for a year or more, (or forever*), allowing some recovery from the weightlessness of the trip there. And at least one mission proposed by the Russians uses a spinning spacecraft to provide "gravity."

So Linda would you mind if the Puyallup tribe start rocketing you until you get off their land you stole?
