Those tasked with executing the strike on Bashar al Assad's regime in Syria were reportedly shocked when U.S. President Barack Obama announced Saturday that he wanted to seek Congressional approval first, according to Chris Lawrence with CNN.

"The tempo went from 'go-go-go' to nothing," an unnamed defense official told CNN. "We were standing multiple watches. Everyone was pretty sure it was going to happen."
With U.S. destroyers and submarines moored off the coast of Syria, battle stations manned, and fingers on the trigger of hundreds of Tomahawk cruise missiles, Obama reportedly changed his mind Friday evening on executing the strike on his own authority, after a conversation with his chief of staff, Denis McDonough.

Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said as early as Aug. 27 that the U.S. military was "ready to go" to strike Syria if ordered, in response to an alleged chemical weapons attack on innocent civilians on Aug. 21.

But after a proposed UN Security Council Resolution failed to make it pass Russia, and a British measure authorizing force died in the House of Commons, the president decided to seek an authorization of military force from Congress. The authorization cleared the Senate Foreign Relations Committee today by a vote of 10 to 7, with one abstention. It is expected to be subject to a full vote from the House and Senate as early as next week.

Poll:Should The US Adopt A 'No Confidence' Provision to Rid Ourselves of the Likes of Obama?

Free Republic-February 22, 2011:Poll:Should The US Adopt A 'No Confidence' Provision to Rid Ourselves of the Likes of Obama?

Should The US Adopt A 'No Confidence' Provision to Rid Ourselves of the Likes of Obama?
In what is arguably one of the worst political events in US history, the election of Obama, we are forced to stand by and watch the piecemeal destruction of our very nation, the very political, economic dismantling of this great country of ours, the greatest country in history, by what is the greatest, most insidious nemesis America has ever known or faced.

The wisdom and sagacity of our forefathers providing for the all-encompassing political contingencies as law of the land having stood the test of time, yet not having foreseen, imagined the nightmare scenario which we are in midst of enduring, may not endure through.

Our forefathers having confidence in the people as fundamental principle of government, the decision of        the people as being sacrosanct, averse to tampering with terms of elected officials thus having made no provisions in which to reverse, hold up to inspection, the validity of their decision, in mid-term, with a constitutional provision of 'Motion of No Confidence' that has worked so well in Parliamentary forms of government, such as Great Britain.

Indeed, despite overwhelming unpopularity of our past presidents in serving out their full term of election, our country has survived intact.

But with the current White House occupant I am not very secure that our country will manage to recover from the cataclysmic forces ripping it apart from within and without, the deliberate, irreparable evisceration, destruction of the very institutions that has made America the shining city on the hill, this bastard of a politician who dares call himself a citizen let alone the leader of the greatest country ever.
Every day I cringe, every day I grit my teeth with every decision this bastard president takes monumental jubilation in tearing down all that which through the centuries, our very patriots, soldiers, every day citizens paid for with their lives, every day I am filled with worry, sorrow pondering the fate of our country, wondering how we are going to endure, survive another two years of such wanton, deliberate political, economic implosion of the United States of America.

Middle Class Net Worth Collapses to 1969 Level

The angle of a just-released New York University study is, of course, that ole' left-wing canard known as "income inequality," but the findings are still useful in drawing other conclusions, and not ones that are very pleasant. Is America now a bigger version of Chicago, where Democrats and the media have so expertly rigged the electoral game that, even as their policies fai,l they're able to stay in power?

According to the study, we are now back to 1969 levels with respect to median net worth in this country. A large part of this is the housing crisis we've yet to recover from, which cost the middle class 18% of its net worth. The news isn't much better with respect to median incomes, which have dropped to $26,364, setting us all the way back to 1999.

And as middle class incomes declined, the debt-load among the middle class has increased "significantly."

In a nutshell: those of us in the middle class earn less, are worth less, and owe more. Meanwhile, during this same period of time, the wealthy increased their wealth by an unbelievable 71%.

Normally, I don't care about the gap between the rich and the rest of us. I'm not rich, and at the age of 46, it's probably safe to say I'll never be rich; but I didn't care because I begrudge no one their success. But that was before…

Before we looted the Treasury and mortgaged the futures of generations to bail out the Too Big To Fails; before we started losing ground while the Bailed Out prospered.

What's especially troubling, though, is that it didn't have to be like this. All of us, rich and poor alike, would be doing fine had Barack Obama only done what Ronald Reagan did when Reagan inherited an economic situation even more dire than the one Obama inherited. Instead of getting out of the way of the economy, though, Obama did just the opposite.

Obama exploded the deficit, attempted to micro-manage the economy through a failed stimulus, enslaved tens of millions on various forms of social welfare, hyper-regulated everything through policies like Dodd-Frank, and created years of economic uncertainty with leviathans like ObamaCare and the creation of one debt ceiling/fiscal cliff economic crisis after another.

Now those of us in the middle class are going backwards. The rich, however, are getting richer, because the rich always get richer. What's galling this time, though, is that the size of the pie is decreasing for the rest of us.

Which wouldn't be so troubling had Obama not just won re-election -- in large part with the support of the wealthy who understand that Obama's class warfare rhetoric isn't so much about punishing them as it is about empowering the government -- which in turn protects the wealthy. Bank of America, General Electric, and the monster conglomerates that share ownership in most mainstream media outlets love it when cumbersome government regulations increase the cost of doing business.

They can afford it. Their biggest threat -- up and coming competition -- cannot. 

See how this works?

But I digress.

What does it say about the everyday American people that falling incomes, chronic unemployment, increasing poverty, collapsing net worth, and stagnant economic growth qualifies as an acceptable enough record to win a second chance to do more of the same? But the most frightening prospect in all of this is that our current economic situation has apparently become the new and accepted normal.

People seem to have forgotten the boom times between 1983 and 2007 --  almost a quarter century of unprecedented growth, incredibly low unemployment, manageable deficits, and a growing of the wealth pie that was interrupted only by two shallow recessions.  Just a few years ago, the thought of celebrating 100,000 new jobs per month and a 2.7% GDP was unimaginable.

And yet, here we are.

But what does it mean?

Well, my worst fear is that Obama and the Democrats have cracked the same electoral code Obama and the Democrats cracked in Chicago and most every big city in America. A code that wins them election after election after election in places like Chicago, Detroit, Washington DC, and Los Angeles, even as those cities literally crumble into bankruptcy before the voters' eyes.

But if you get enough people on the government dole; divide the population as a whole but conquer through a fractured coalition; empower the unions, and so weaken, defeat, and demonize the opposition (Republicans) -- you can stay in power even as your policies decimate everything they touch.

Oh, and the media. In order for America to become The United States of Chicago, Democrats must own the media -- a corporatist media for a corporatist party that defends the status quo, demonizes the opposition, and, most importantly, regards the creation of 100,000 jobs and a 2.7% GDP as something worth celebrating.

Marijuana Use Causes Brain Damage Confirmed (Explains A Lot About The Way The Country is Run)

Marijuana Use Causes Brain Damage Confirmed (Explains A Lot About The Way The Country is Run)
Medical Daily ^ | August 9, 2012 | Christine Hsu


Scientists have confirmed the long-held suspicion that frequent heavy marijuana use damages the brain's memory and learning capacity.

"Our results suggest that long-term cannabis use is hazardous to white matter in the developing brain. This was especially true for those who had started in adolescence, as we know the brain is still developing during this time," Lead researcher Dr. Marc Seal, from Melbourne’s Murdoch Children's Research Institute said in a university release.
Scientists from MCRI, Melbourne University and Wollongong University compared MRI scans of the brain for 59 people who had been using marijuana for an average of 15 years to 33 healthy people who had never used the drug.

After measuring changes to the volume, strength and integrity of white matter in the brains of all participants, researchers found that long-term heavy cannabis users had disruptions in their white matter fibers.
The brain's white matter is responsible for information passed between different areas of grey matter within the nervous system, and unlike grey matter, which are the brain's thinking areas that peaks at age eight, white matter continues to develop as people age.
Seal and his team found that there was more than 80 percent reduction of white matter in the brains of users.
Additionally, researchers found that the average age of participants in the study started using cannabis when they were 16 years old, participants who started using the drug at a younger age like 10 or 11 had even more severe brain damage.
"This is the first study to demonstrate the age at which regular cannabis use begins is a key factor in determining the severity of the brain damage," Seal said, according to AAP.

He explained that marijuana interferes with naturally occurring cannabinoid receptors in the brain and by introducing external cannabinoids into a person's system it stops their white matter from maturing.
Researchers linked the significant changes in the white matter in the brain's hippocampus and commissural fibers, suggesting that long-term marijuana use may lead to memory impairment and deficits in learning and concentration ability.
"These people can have trouble learning new things and they are going to have trouble remembering things," Seal said.
"We don't know if the changes are irreversible but we do know that these changes are quite significant," he added.

The Power of Technology is That in The End It Trumps All.

 

 It's Time People Realized That The Drudge Report Is A Major Media Property Worth Hundreds Of Millions Of Dollars Read more: http://www.businessinsider.com/drudge-report-is-worth-2012-10#ixzz292eyEwur I'm neither a fan nor a reader of the Drudge Report and but I posted this article to highlight some fascinating demographics, statistics about how technology eventually triumphs over all in a wholly glaring way well demonstrated when comparing the Drudge Report and the New York Times. This is a prime example of how the internet has eclipsed the msm, overwhelmingly underscoring the incredible synergistic power, productivity inherent in technology, technological advances. Not just merely the application of Moore's Law, but what Moore's Law has wrought from both the macro-cosmic perspective in its effect on society, civilization, modernity and microcosmically as well with its impact on, for the individual, the ever-expanding control, empowerment over the realm, environment inhabited. For what is technology, the purpose of technology but a tool, a tool to expand power, influence, over the environment to ultimate infinite control. The Drudge Report recently announced that it has surpassed 1 billion pageviews per month. How many pageviews is that? It's about as many pageviews as The New York Times reportedly got per month as recently as a couple of years ago. The Drudge Report has 14.4 million US readers per month — only slightly fewer readers than The New York Times (16.4 million), per Quantcast. In short, the Drudge Report is almost as big a digital media property as The New York Times. That's absolutely staggering. Why? Because The New York Times is produced by ~1,200 journalists. The Drudge Report is produced by one.
