POPSTwitter: clique-y or fluid? Just from my own anecdotal evidence, I'd wager Dave Pollard's proposition about the male/female split on Twitter friend diversity.

POPSDonaghy says refs fixed playoffs; Stern says no stressed the need to wait for proof before any judgments are made, but was not shy to offer a low opinion of the officiating in the 2002 series. "Was that after the fifth game, after we had the game stolen away from us on a bad call?" he said, referring to a game-changing play by Kings guard Mike Bibby in the final moments. The letter doesn't name anyone involved. Donaghy's attorney and prosecutors have declined to comment. The league has denied the scandal goes beyond Donaghy and two co-defendants.

POPSA denial! Must be true then!!! The man responsible for more deaths than on USS Liberty. The man responsible along with the spy Monica for destroying the name of Bill. I thought the release would be nearer to Bush's departure. Another Zionist spy in from the cold?

POPSTip of Iceberg: Many more snared by SEX TRAP In Israel the coverage is extremely subdued for news involving one of the highest elected Jewish officials in the US, for one who was priming himself to be the first Jewish president. The fall of one hypocrite isn't hare nor there. "The volume of electronic surveillance is a clear tip-off that the Department of Justice knew they were working with a 'connected' prostitution operation. Thousands of calls and e-mails were monitored in a brief period. No one monitoring that volume of traffic was focused only on Spitzer." So who are all the other clowns caught in the 'Swallow and Raven" sex honey trap?

POPSOver Friendly US Judge trying AIPAC Spy Case
"Rosen and Weissman were indicted on Aug. 4, 2005--two and a half years ago. Lowell and Nassikas have used every tactic in the book to delay the trial in the hope that if it is delayed long enough, it may not take place at all. Delay has followed delay as the prosecution (the U.S. government) and defense have fought over how open or closed the trial will be and over whom can be called to testify. Among others Judge Ellis has ordered to testify are National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley, former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage, former Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz, former Under Secretary of Defense Douglas Feith, Deputy National Security Adviser Abrams, Ambassador to Russia Burns, and Pollack, former director of Persian Gulf Affairs for the National Security Council. According to The WP, Lowell and Nassikas will try to prove that their clients’ conduct was lawful and completely consistent with how the US government dealt with AIPAC and other foreign policy

POPSWorld Jewry Marks 8,000th Day of Jonathan Pollard's Imprisonment
Jonathan Pollard was a civilian American Naval intelligence analyst. In the mid 1980's, Pollard discovered that information vital to Israel's security was being deliberately withheld. Israel was legally entitled to this vital security information according to a 1983 Memorandum of Understanding between the two countries. Information being withheld from Israel included Syrian, Iraqi, Libyan and Iranian nuclear, chemical, and biological warfare capabilities - being developed for use against Israel. It also included information on ballistic missile development by these countries and information on planned terrorist attacks against Israeli civilian targets. Pollard was painfully aware that Israeli lives were being put in jeopardy as a result of this undeclared intelligence embargo. He did everything he possibly could to stop this covert policy and to have the legal flow of information to Israel restored. When his efforts met no success, he began to give the information to Israel directly

POPSThe Links: USA; Pollard; FBI; Mossad; USSR; Clinton; Monica It was marked in the story that the Israeli intelligence officers had transferred to KGB materials of Pollard, in exchange for the sanction to Soviet Jews to be repatriated to Israel. Pollard himself reacted as follows: "The story from which it follows as if Russians have so "long hands", that they had managed to reach the Mossad, has been forged precisely in the KGB to cause additional damage to the Israeli-American strategic cooperation".

POPSVanunu and Pollard: Hero vs. Spy!!!! I'm the son of a Holocaust Survivor. I am also a Certified Lay Speaker in the Metropolitan District, New York Annual Conference, United Methodist Church. I am considered a Jewish Christian or Christian Jew, whichever you prefer, having been Bar-Mitzvahed in 1970 into the Tribe of Levi . Israel is a foreign nation when it comes to classified material. It had no right to it. It still doesn’t, unless the classifying authority says it does. In the case of the material I was responsible for, that authority is the president of the United States and no one else. Pollard is a traitor and deserves the punishment he is receiving. He is no better than the Walkers or Aldrich Ames. Any efforts to paint him in a heroic light are repugnant and a stain upon responsible American Jewry. Pollard claimed we had a duty to Israel as well as the US. I had no such divided loyalties. Our loyalty is, was and always shall be to the USA, first, last and always.

POPSReligion and other forms of groupthink
To be nobody-but-yourself -- in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else -- means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting. -- ee cummings "Our Civilization Culture's subcultures are remarkable not for their differences but for their crushing sameness: Like the 'choice' between McDonalds or Burger King, they offer an illusion of freedom to choose. They all tempt you to 'join', to sign up for their 'brand' of Civilization Culture. To stop thinking for yourself and be everybody else. (Ah, but sir, just look, our brand of everybody else suits you so well!) We have thousands of subcultures, many of them at war with each other (in order to keep the members 'bound' together through having a common 'enemy').The prosperity of the Tweedledum subculture depends on its unifying enmity for the Tweedledee subculture, and vice versa." Read Dave Pollard's entire post at the source, his blog "How to Save the World".

POPSTop 40 Bands - Leafblower pretty predictable, although the White Stripes mention seems slightly passé, especially combined with the misspelling of the Raconteurs' name.
