POPSTaliban make children plant IEDs to thwart Army snipers A senior Army source said: ‘The Taliban know that if they get caught in the sights of our snipers, they don’t last long, so they have resorted to hiding behind compound walls and directing children to plant bombs for them. ‘Lots of home-made IEDs detonate before they have even been laid, but the Taliban don’t seem to care whether a child gets killed or maimed. Some boys are as young as 12.’

POPSBBC News - Northern Ireland INLA paramilitaries dump terror cache
The Irish National Liberation Army has decommissioned its weapons, days before the body overseeing Northern Ireland paramilitary weapons ceases to exist. The move took place in recent weeks and is expected to be confirmed on Monday by the INLA and General John de Chastelain, head of the IICD. The INLA was a small, ruthless group which killed more than 120 people, including Tory MP Airey Neave in 1979. In October, it said it would pursue its aims by exclusively peaceful means. The republican paramilitary group is believed to have been responsible for 111 murders from its formation in 1975 until its ceasefire in 1998, but it is still thought to have been involved in a number of murders since then. As recently as February 2009, the INLA claimed responsibility for the murder of a drug dealer in Londonderry. It came to world prominence in 1979 with the murder of Conservative Northern Ireland spokesman Airey Neave by leaving a bomb under his car in the House of Commons car

POPSBelfast: Sex, Politics & Parades
The First Minister's wife has been having sex with teenager(s) She raised money from Protestant party supporters to pay them off. One fellow was selected to investigate. Without a report of any kind, yesterday he said everything was okay. The Brits want to turn over the police force and justice system but the Northern Ireland government (composed of former militants and/or terrorist, pick your term) - can't agree and threatened to fall apart. The Brits gave them a couple of billion so they would keep talking. Most of the talk is about Parade Routes. A battle between one of the Scottish King James and a Dutch Duke, over 300 years ago, is a sweet memory to some and sour to others and riots have resulted. I think there are lessons here about understanding and dealing with religious and long term rivalries. 1. They are intractable. 2. They never end. 3. Any spark can start the fire. 4. They cost big bucks. 5. Victory is as sour as defeat. Now...about the Muslim Pr

POPSThe Kebra Nagast: The Glory of the Kings I served with the Army Security Agency in Asmara, Eritrea, Ethiopia, from July 1955 to June 1958. When Haile Selassie visited our installation, Kagnew Station, I served as his personal Honor Guard. When I first viewed these photos, I was struck by the unbelievable hypnotic aura of power and presence radiated by these two Father-Son, Warrior-Priest, Philosopher Kings, whose royal lineage, the world's oldest, can trace its existence to the ancient emperors of Ethiopia, especially Menelek, son of The Queen of Sheba by Solomon.

POPSCybersecurity Bill Passes The house today passed overwhelmingly passed a bill aimed at building up the United States’ cybersecurity army and expertise, amid growing alarm over the country’s vulnerability online.

As officials puzzle over how to defend the nation from enemies that are often impossible to pinpoint, the lawmakers behind the bill said education and recruitment are crucial. Read entire article

POPSBehind the Lines
Irrespective of how the families of service personnel think, this expose reveals the lies that British and American politician perpetrate. I soldiered all my life and if young enough would be with our troops, not because the WAR is right, but because I loved the work. If the viewer does not like the truth they should get onto that Lying Blair and Brown. From the very outset, political avoidance of truth has and is endemic. When everyone regales about the lack of helicopter cover, the most damning silence is the issuing of the SA80 assault weapon. Which amateur ever bought that toy with it ineffectual ammunition is treachery in its utmost. Every single news reel shows infantrymen standing, sitting just outside of the weapons range making the infantry section spectators in their own deaths. With its predecessors the 7.62, at least the section could function properly and become a close deterrent. But No! We have to follow the Americans and use their ammunition, a legacy of the ill-fate

POPSGet Rid of Rahm Emmanuel, flawed WH Advisor Behind the scenes, this psychotic politician, White House Chief of Staff, is probably the one most responsible for killing a reform of USA national health care. Right now, if you get sick, insurance companies can cancel your policy. This is just one of the obvious ills of the way things are. When US Senator Leiberman plunged the knife into health care reform, Rahm Emmanuel backed him up and told 'liberals,' that if they worked to defeat Lieberman in the next elections, or other conservative Democrats, that they were '#ucking retartded.' Now's he's apologized: to retarded people. He sends people dead fish in the mail. Makes threats. Was a mercenary (or 'civilian contractor," ) in the Israeli Army. He should not only be fired but stripped of his US citizenship.

POPSObama to Propose $3.8 Trillion Budget
the National Science Foundation and the Census Bureau, which this year is conducting its decennial count of people living in the United States. The president is also proposing to cut back or eliminate 120 government programs, including projects by the Army Corps of Engineers and NASA's plan to return astronauts to the moon. It puts a three-year freeze on discretionary spending outside defense. That excludes the fastest growing parts of the budget -- entitlements like Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid as well as national security. The president will outline some steps tomorrow, including freezing non-discretionary spending -- spending that since 1995 has almost doubled in our federal budget," White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said on CNN on Sunday. According to the White House, the freeze would be $250 billion over a decade if those programs were to increase at the rate of inflation. "I think the presidents proposal on freezing non-security domestic .....

POPSOBAMA RECRUITING RADICALS IN HIGH SCHOOL
And what will these “interns” be force-fed? The mother’s milk of the left — anti-war agitation, anti-capitalism, Marx, Lenin, Ayers, LGBT agenda promotion, global warming, pro-jihad, and illegal immigration. For starters. Maybe “Ellie Light,” who has in the last few weeks published the same Letter to the Editor supporting and defending Obama in over a dozen newspapers across the country, can give lessons in astroturfing. The form carries a recommended reading list, including Rules for Radicals by the notorious hard left community organizer and Obama mentor Saul Alinsky; two Huffington Post articles by Zack Exley, “The New Organizers” and “Obama Field Organizers Plot a Miracle.” The first of those, published in October 2008, enthuses about “an insurgent generation of organizers” inside the Obama campaign that has, “almost without anyone noticing … built the Progressive movement a brand new and potentially durable people’s organization, in a dozen states, rooted at the neighborhood
