Oil Climbs Above $112 on Libyan Armed Revolt, Dollar Weakness By Mark Shenk - Apr 8, 2011 10:41 AM PT Crude rose above $112 in New York for the first time in 30 months and Brent topped $126 on skepticism that Libyan output will rebound when fighting ends and as a weaker dollar increased demand for commodities. Futures rose as much as 1.9 percent in New York as Barclays Capital said strikes on Libyan oilfields by forces loyal to Muammar Qaddafi ended hopes for a prompt resumption of exports, and will help send prices toward $130 a barrel. Raw materials surged as the dollar dropped to the lowest level against the euro in more than a year. “Since the L…

Almost 100 missiles and mortars in a week is enough to get tanks and air strikes in to Gaza, a-la Cast Lead as it is. Then you knife a family (including a baby) to death in their homes, launch a Grad rocket in to Beersheva and blow up a bus in Jerusalem? Yeah, you know war is coming.

BEIRUT, Lebanon - Imad Mughniyeh, the suspected mastermind of dramatic attacks on the U.S. Embassy and U.S. Marine barracks that killed hundreds of Americans in Lebanon in the 1980s, has died in a car bombing in Syria. The Islamic militant group Hezbollah and its Iranian backers on Wednesday blamed Israel for the killing of Mughniyeh, Hezbollah's security chief in the 1980s who was one of the world's most wanted and elusive terrorists. Israel denied involvement. Hezbollah did not say how or where Mughniyeh was killed. But Iranian state television and the National Organization for Human Rights in Syria said he died in a car bombing in the Syrian capital Da…

long live it. You know your govt is on some scumbag shit when Secretary of State is up there denouncing the wiki leak instead of addressing the scumbaggery that the leaks exposed in the first place. Ha. Best defense is a strong offense much? All those years back in Vietnam Tet offensive. NVA had everybody fooled until the shit popped off. In the aftermath pockets of NVA or Vietcong or whatever became isolated and were summarily hunted down. A lot of this was caught on film and broadcasted back to the states. In the end they took losses of 45K to our 1500. What Tet offensive did however do is sway public opinion and morale. Perhaps not thread worthy, I don't consider myse…

it's tax season... again. this year is especially fun, as I got a strange letter from the IRS stating that my 2008 tax return has been changed due to passing a new tax law that allows them to go back to 2008 and say I owe them money. fuck all. anyways, I stumbled upon this today when I googled "can you tax a plant?" INCOME TAX IS THEFT plus I heard about that dude who won vs the IRS.... stating that there is no law on the books, back then or presently, that says you have to pay income tax. but even that is wrong I guess... as disputed by the 16th amendment here then there's the wiki page for tax conspiracy tin …

So I'd never heard of this until yesterday, it's called hydraulic fracturing, and it's how natural gas is drilled out the ground. Basically the short version is that these natural gas companies go to people and offer something like $5000/acre to drill on their land, but fail to mention that the "frakking" process involves injecting millions of gallons of chemical infused water into the ground to break apart the underground rock which makes more gas accessible. This process is leaving about half of the water that is injected each time(one well can be frakked as many as 18 times in it's life), and is currently unregulated by the EPA as it is no longer held…

However, he said the two had met about nine months before, when he pulled her over. The two exchanged phone numbers and had consensual sex in his car a couple weeks later, he said. During a second interview with Thompson the next day, Cates changed his story. This time, he admitted he had oral sex and intercourse with the woman in the wake of the 911 call. …

Ok, so I am finally doing it. I am just gonna post random writings and other shit to get things started. Some are sort of long, Some aren't. Feel free to respond to anything. A lot of this is just rough ideas for papers for classes or writings I have/am doing just to refine my form. the first is a paper topic for my philosophy of mind class. I am responding to a paper that calls for a phenomenological language that accounts for consciousness if we are to have a total theory of mind. Nagel speaks of the necessity of a phenomenological language that accounts for subjective experience and consciousness if we are to ever conceive of a sound and total theory of…

Too, this will enhance the revolving door and facilitate no-bid contracts, kickbacks and cronyism. It will promise privacy but require a centralized all-encompassing database to better insure both a single point of failure and to facilitate compromise.

Here's a pretty fiery article I found... I will post my thoughts if the thread picks up. America Is a Serious Terrorist Threat As you read, consider the following questions: According to Chomsky, how do wealthy Muslims view the United States? How many Lebanese died in a 1985 truck bombing authorized by the Reagan administration, according to the author? How does Chomsky define terrorism? David Barsamian: The media have been noticeably lacking in providing a context and a background for the [september 11, 2001] attacks on New York and Washington. What might be some useful information that you could provide? Noam Chomsky: There…

So, I know there's some pretty intelligent and deep guys on the Cross Fire boards. I was curious what you guys think of this whole thing where everyone now analyzing Jay Z's videos and now Lady Gaga and Beyonce' as hiding all kinds of symbolism in their videos. This site , which Ive seen a few times now over the last few months seems to either be making shit up out of nothing, OR is somehow dead on, backing up some pretty far fetched alogations with some interesting facts, like how the MK experiments where forced to watch Disney films as part of their torture?? Anyway, here's the site analyzing this Gaga travesty. Before I put on my tin foil hat, I'm curious …

OK. so i dont ever come in crossfire, so its pretty lame to expect others to flock to my thread. But this is some shit that ive really been getting interested in in the past year. That being said i make no claims to having the firmest grasp on the subject, it does afterall contain quite a fair amount of abstract shit. Lots of things that happen on the micro level of physics do not compute with how we see things on the macro level day to day. So for right now my main focus has been on the gap between quantum mechanics and the effect human consciousness has on it. The science of the observer. I must admit i originally got into this after seeing the movie/"dockumentary"…

In response to a question at a press conference in Lisbon, where he was attending a NATO summit , the president said that the Transportation Security Administration has been "under enormous pressure" to find better ways to screen for explosives and other dangerous items ever since the attempted 2009 Christmas Day bombing of a …

Any readers of philosophy in this place? I've been reading a lot on existentialism and the moral implications of nihilism. deep shit, then again not really.. I'm particularly interested in Camus, Nietzsche, Sartre, and Heidegger because of the relevance in their philosophy of how it correlates to what is happening in society today.. Read any good books?

http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE6AM0TZ20101123 (Reuters) - North Korea on Tuesday fired dozens of artillery shells at a South Korean island, setting buildings on fire and prompting a return fire by the South, Seoul's military and media reports said. Seoul's YTN television quoted a witness as saying 60 to 70 houses were on fire after the shelling. The military confirmed the exchange of firing, without providing more details.
