It seems likely that Barack Obama will take this election. If that happens, how might it affect the landscape in Iraq and Afghanistan?
This is just my guess, but it seems likely that many military personnel that have been upset or holding their tongues with the Bush administration will feel much freer to voice their opinions or even speak of experiences that they previously felt they couldn't speak about.

HAARP, simple science or military gone Tesla crazy?
HAARP is something I've only recently become aware of, yet it immediately sounds concerning. The fact that the military is conducting a science experiment in the atmosphere is enough to make me wonder, "Okay, what the hell are they up to?" I don't know any reasonable person that trusts the military to make sound decisions that consider environmental and human impacts into account.
There are loads of websites actively encouraging the HAARP discussion.
Here is some of what one scientist (who prefers anonymity) has to say regarding HAARP;
I still cannot get a definitive answer on the ultimate purpose of data gained from these heaters. Depending on who you believe, it's either aimed at improving the performance of space based systems that are being built anyway, or it's a rediscovery of The Secret Tesla Death Ray. It's either a great new source of low-frequency radio waves for military comm or recon, or a new generation of directed-energy weapon that will terrorize the planet, turning the Pax Americana into global fact, allowing a despotic U.S. government to roll over the world and divide it up between corporations.
This web page generates more e-mail than all my others put together. This mail is private, and off the record, which is kind of too bad, because it would make a book in itself. There are people who hear HAARP in their heads. There are people who blame HAARP for everything from their headaches to giant power blackouts. When the Kosovo war came, it was pretty much universally assumed that HAARP was participating. Since HAARP did transmit during the period, rumors ran wild.
There are people, usually with physics degrees, who have "done the math," and are convinced that the military is only a few years from global domination, burning cities, charred bodies, a civilization under a sword of fire. There are people, also with physics degrees, who tell me that the whole thing is radio astronomy, it's geeks with arcane degrees, it's data that will improve life and freedom.
What are your thoughts on this? I'd love to know.

Wow, Italy is a wonderful country!
We just got back from a brief but perfect trip in Italy. We spent time in Rome, Florence, Monterosso al Mare, and flew back from Milan. There is so much to say about this wonderful country, so much history, so much art, so much appreciation for life. We got lost touring the amazing churches of Rome's St. Peter's Basilica and the Duomo in Florence. We zapped around with crazy drivers on the city streets and the gorgeous countryside. We toured a 12th century castle and drank more than our fair share of wine and olive oil. We spent relaxing days exploring the beach town of Monterosso al Mare and splashing in the warm and (usually) calm waters of the Mediterranean. We ate gelato, pizza, pasta and fish. We cannot say enough about this wonderful country.
Next time we'll even consider taking the kids.

Heading off to Italy!
We're really doing it! Jana and I have talked about a trip to Italy since we met. Now we're on our way. We'll be enjoying fine wine and food, museums galore, and even catching a soccer match at the Olympic Stadium in Rome. Will have more to tell in a couple of weeks. Until then, Ciao!Thursday, September 04, 2008
Palin family: Comedy of errors? Or sad state of America? Who is the real mother - Sarah or Bristol? Vote here.
This election is getting wackier by the minute. Regardless of how you feel about the situation, one thing is sure... Sarah Palin has some hard questions to answer about her family and the seemingly bizarre elements of Trig's story.
To those of you who say "family is off limits" or "leave it alone" or "what happens in Alaska stays in Alaska"... I say in response that Sarah Palin is possibly one small step away from being the leader of the free world and this is most certainly everyone's business.
Now, even supporters of Palin must recognize a string of bizarre elements to the "official story" that Trig is Sarah's baby. Let's all withhold judgement for a moment and go with the story... that Sarah surprised everyone at work with a revelation that she was 7 months pregnant when she did not show, that photos and video seem to have her not the least bit pregnant at 7 months, that her water broke at 8 months with a Down's Syndrome baby to which she proceeded to give a 30 minute speech followed by an 8 hour flight from Texas to Alaska without alerting the crew then to a 45 minute drive to the hospital, which then announced the birth of two babies that day but neither of them happened to be the Governor of Alaska's, and yes for the past 4 to 5 months Bristol has been kept home from school with the world's worst case of mononucleosis which just happens to coincide with the last months of Trig's time in womb, during said 4 to 5 months of mono Bristol also happened to drive a lot to the extent of getting 3 moving violations including an accident, and Bristol being a popular high school girl also inexplicably transfers to a new high school, and then of course as soon as the rumors spread a whole slew of photos and such are deleted from the family's and other's websites. Whew! Thank God it's not more bizarre than that!
In the true spirit of the American way, we might as well take a vote and see what people really think about this one.
Who is the real mother of Trig Palin? Sarah or Bristol?
Furthermore, regardless of which story is true and who is the real mother, it is safe to say that at least some of the following statements are correct.
1. Sarah Palin is lying to us all.
2. Sarah Palin showed terrible judgement and/or risked the life of her Down's Syndrome baby by boarding an 8 hour flight after her water broke.
3. Sarah Palin is clearly putting her political career ahead of the best interests of her family.
4. Either Sarah Palin will not have time to be a good VP or she will not have time to be a good mother for a Down's Syndrome baby and the other Palin kids.
5. Sarah Palin is the craziest pick for running mate of all time.
Nice job vetting this one to the thorough folks at the McCain camp! Let's just hope that it doesn't get any wackier, and that Bristol and Palin family can get through this.

Drumming in Oahu
Recently got back from a great trip to Hawaii. We stayed at the Turtle Bay Resort on the north shore of Oahu. I highly recommend surfing lessons with Ash at Hawaii Waves Surf School. You can watch a youtube clip here, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFsaKCkEZpY
We also visited the Polynesian Cultural Center, which was loads of fun, culture, and souveniers. I even had the pleasure of hundreds of people lauging at me as I tried to follow the beat and song-shrieking of a great Polynesian drummer!
Big fun!

Poor Guy Ski Video
My good friend, Paul Skowronski, just emailed me and brought some nostalgia into my face. Back in the winter of 94-95 we took a fair amount of ski video of us and other buds doing our thing on the slopes of Squaw Valley, Alpine Meadows and Tahoe Backcountry. We put together a little compilation.
Here's about 5 minutes of it:
We had a lot of fun.

just completed the 12 week challenge!
Okay, here's the after pics (above the before one) of me completing the 12 week challenge from Bill Phillips and Body for Life. Jana and I are thrilled that we did it, for not only has it gotten us in better shape - but it's really helped us refocus all of our life goals and set up a new routine for getting things done that are important.
If you ever need some help with life transitions, I wholeheartedly recommend the Body for Life 12 week challenge.
Just look at my before picture! That was me, at 197 lbs in March. Now I'm at 182 plus I've put on about 4 lbs of muscle! Yeah, I still have a little ways to go to get that last pinch of love handles, etc., but I'm on track! My workout and diet routine are here to stay, which means so is this new me.

911 conspiracy evidence
To anyone who might be reading this. The events of 9-11-01 have changed the course of American history. In the end, they may divide this country like nothing we've ever seen before. Thanks for checking this out, because this is really important.
If you only check out one of the sites I've listed here, see what dozens of retired generals, colonels, captains and military experts like Welsey Clark and a host of others have to say about 911, http://patriotsquestion911.com/
Of course planes hit the building. You can't just drop a WTC building with no scapegoat. The planes were a red herring. My guess is the plane that hit the field in Shanksville was targeted for Building 7. When it didn't show up and the detonations were all in place, they had to pull the building or risk leaving the evidence in place.
The government as a whole didn't do this. Some element within the government did, and if you read the comments from the above website, you'll hear that all roads lead to Cheney.
There are plenty of whys, plenty of them. The WTC was in trouble. They were already hurting for occupancy, many floors were empty, and they couldn't afford the asbestos removal that the epa was pressuring them to do. No insurance company would deal with an estimated billion dollar asbestos removal. The new owner, Larry Silverstein, had just bought a huge insurance deal which he collected doubly on, 8 billion dollars. This guy Larry is a real gem - http://911research.wtc7.net/wtc/background/owners.html All kinds of documents on securities exchange fraud including Enron and a bunch of other biggies dissapeared when building 7 collapsed. The biggest why - that war and oil are big business.
Now, please look at the evidence. Let me list some bits of evidence that point to controlled demolitions and government cover-up.
1. 3 verticle steel column supported buildings all fall directly into themselves at free-fall speed, into the path of most resistance, the elaborate steel frame that was purposefully designed to withstand multiple jumbo jet crashes. All of the debris is pulverized into tiny pieces, even bits from the uppermost floors that were at the top of the fall.
2. Hundreds of witnesses reported and some were treated for ground level and other floor levels explosions.
- These witnesses include WTC employees who testify to inside parking lot level explosions well before the towers collapsed. These include William Rodriguez, http://www.william911.com/ maintenance for 19 years, and many others who are currently speaking around the country to raise awareness. http://www.justicefor911.org/Complainant_Signatures_111904.php
3. Pools of molten metal in the debris that burned for several weeks after the fall. (Molten metal is a by-product of thermate, a super temperature explosive used to cut through steel columns in skyscraper demolition) http://www.911review.com/errors/wtc/molten.html
4. Dozens of videos taken by local people that show squibs (timed explosives floor by floor) that visibly preceed the fall.
5. photos of the floor level remains of steel columns cut at an angle with remains of molten metal dripping from the columns before the evidence was removed. http://www.waarheid911.nl/911column.jpg
6. Supposed terrorists that have turned up alive and well. http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/hijackers.html
7. No evidence of a plane hitting the pentagon. Go back to the first website for more opinions on this one. Have you seen the video the government released? It's a joke, it might as well be a missile - than a plane. Where's the video of the enormous plane with wings and a tail? The pentagon is the most fortified building on earth with cameras everywhere, there must be a clear video of this happening? Does this look like a plane? http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12818225/
8. Norad not responding. In the years that preceded 911, Norad had an average response of 10 minutes or less to emergency drills. Why weren't they there when they had over an hour to respond? http://www.mycountryrightorwrong.net/NORAD911StandDownMath.htm
This is a partial list of evidence. Of course you can find websites that refute these findings. A war on 911 has already begun, and there are people on both sides.
I'm really mad as hell about it as are a lot of other evidence checking Americans. This has nothing to do with party administration and everything to do with truth and justice. If you want to talk evidence, let's talk about it. If you prefer to go off on a tangent, then I can't argue with that.
Trying to practice what it means to be American.

911 Truth, 911 Mysteries, Zeitgeist, Terrorstorm
Dear Family and Friends,
There are times in life when we do things and make a stand even though we predict our actions will be met with heavy resistance. This is one of those times.
I also heavily resisted watching these videos, for the last thing in the world I wanted to believe was that 911 was an inside job.
I went into these video skeptical and angry, angry that the concept even existed. After watching them, I was much angrier, but for a completely different reason. For now, I truly believe 911 was an inside job. Only comparisons to the Holocaust make me as sick that this could happen and that people intended to get away with it. (by the way, there are people who don’t believe the Holocaust happened. I write this letter on 4-20, Hitler’s birthday. Ironic.)
911 Truth is a movement that has already gained widespread acceptance. Years ago, as people started investigating 911 mysteries, the movement was met with incredible resistance, as you might imagine. What made 911 Truth continue to gather support, is the abundance of physical evidence and intelligent people supporting it. (Google it) The tipping point is getting near.
If you’re not aware of this concept, 911 Truth, then I’d like to present the case that you owe it to America to at least check it out and make up your own mind.
There are videos you must see. 911 Mysteries, Zeitgeist, and Terrorstorm. All of which deal with the myth of 911 as the public knows it, the history of False Flags, and the connection between organized religion, banking, and world domination.
When you watch the videos, perhaps the single most obvious smoking gun that demolition experts were involved, is the falling of WTC Building number 7. Please watch it and think to yourself, "what made this building fall?"
To the Americans in all of you, thank you for watching these. At the very least, you will be aware of 911 Truth and the controversy that is now sweeping our nation. If you’ve already seen them, then thank you. I will appeal for obvious reasons that you pass this information on to others.
God Bless America.
