POPSPURE EVIL Taliban commanders used to come to our house. There was an underground bunker beside the house, with electricity. It was concrete and very strong. Cars would drive on top but no-one would realise what was underneath. In that hideout they used to train suicide bombers. Most were children of my age or younger than me. They were used for these activities because they were too young to know any better. Going to 'paradise' I used to see these children getting on a vehicle to go for their missions. They used loud Islamic CDs to motivate them. And I would think, "My God, more Muslims are going to be buried". Then the news would come that more Muslims were wiped out.

POPSTomgram: ...Destabilizing Pakistan I found the views presented in this post quite troubling. Upon reflection, I think that is because my cynical suspicion is that its more likely to be true than false. (Even more so, because I really don't like being "cynical").

POPSWars sending U.S. into ruin. Obama’s Afghan “surge” of 30,000 new troops will cost an additional $33 billion — more than Germany’s total defence budget. Military and intelligence spending relentlessly increase as unemployment heads over 10% and the economy bleeds red ink. America has become the Sick Man of the Western Hemisphere, an economic cripple like the defunct Ottoman Empire. The Pentagon now accounts for half of total world military spending. Add America’s rich NATO allies and Japan, and the figure reaches 75%. China and Russia combined spend only a paltry 10% of what the U.S. spends on defence. There are 750 U.S. military bases in 50 nations and 255,000 service members stationed abroad, 116,000 in Europe, nearly 100,000 in Japan and South Korea. Military spending gobbles up 19% of federal spending and at least 44% of tax revenues. During the Bush administration, the Iraq and Afghanistan wars — funded by borrowing — cost each American family more than $25,000.

POPS"In the Clutches of the American Monster."
A QUOTE: "From here we start our struggle to get our sister released from the clutches of the American monster." is how this article ends, referring to the guilty verdict for a Pakistan scientist, mother of three. As we now know (right?) people are held in U.S. secret prisons for years and years, without trials, tortured, and murdered (one murder conviction thus far, for beating a general to death). Aafia Siddiqui, according to many reports, was one of those victims, held for years in jail, a secret prison, tortured and raped. After escape she was hunted down, arrested by Afghan authorities, and when U.S. troops showed up to take her away she grabbed a gun from one of the guards and shot them down. TYPICALLY, we haven't heard much about this trial: evidence, Q&A, what she said when she was on the witness stand --- but we get a lot of commentary about it. Humm...We're suppose to believe she was also plotting to blow up the Statue of Liberty. But we've managed to do th

POPSSpecies of the Day - 1st February - gyps-indicus
The Indian Vulture, Gyps indicus, is listed as ‘Critically Endangered’ on the IUCN Red List of Threatened SpeciesTM. This robust and scruffy scavenger used to be found in villages, towns and cities near cultivated and wooded areas in south-eastern Pakistan and India. Like other vulture species, the Indian Vulture has suffered serious declines since the late 1990s, losing as much as 99 percent of its population. Vultures were discovered to be suffering from kidney failure following the consumption of cattle that had previously been treated with the anti-inflammatory drug diclofenac. As a result of reduced vulture numbers, rotting animal carcasses now remain untouched, causing health hazards, as well as encouraging feral dog populations which may carry rabies. Strong government commitment has been given to the prevention of any use of this drug and for its complete removal from the environment, but supplies are still being used, sometimes in ignorance of their effects.

POPSTerror attack on US 'certain,' Senate told I saw this assessment this morning and it was very sobering. So, now the Senate has been 'told', I hope the same message of potential attacks, over-all danger, and the absolute necessity of each of us being on the alert is also being broadcast. I bet the security at the Super Bowl will be high. But who can protect against an underwear bomber or a woman with an explosive device stuck up her behind?

POPS3 USA 'No-troops-there,' killed in Pakistan. It's a shame to hear of our troops killed, wasted or misused. Since WW2 our military has gotten out of control. Using the proper procedure of Declaring War, in accord with the US Constitution, would be a good start to reign in all our covert political and military agitation. We admit to having troops in over 100 nations. But we have troops in more and have troops in nations we deny a presence. Not even Congress knows where they all are or what they are doing - without a declaration of war these all are, in essence, rogue programs. Today 3 US soldiers - who we don't have/ deny having in Pakistan - were killed there. The spin is sickening, too. These nice guys were just on their way to help out a girl's school. Yup....that's what our Special Forces do: build girl's schools. Or they call them 'trainers,' or 'advisers,' or 'private security contractors,' -- Many claims of former VP Dick Cheney having his own assassination squads have been made. We don't even obey our own

POPSDigital Nation: Virtual Worlds: Business, War, Schools, Lifestyles, etd. This special last night on PBS was not just about computer uses but virtual worlds being used for business, war, education, etc. This link is to the PBS website. We have soldiers in Nevada flying and firing missiles from our U.S. drones in Pakistan and Afghanistan. IBM is holding international business meetings using avatars in the 3D virtual world of Second Life. From shop class to math the laptop is becoming the key to knowledge. Pretty interesting. Lots of video clips on the site.
