Missile defense - No thanks · Thursday June 7, 2007 by colin newell
It is a well know fact that the U.S. Missile defense system simply does not work. It has never worked.
It is too easy to spoof the system with decoy missiles.
We live in a post-cold war era where missile systems used multiple warheads in multiple break-away modules on multi-missile launches.
The basis for the American missile defense system (which doesn’t work by the way) works on a one missile, one take down concept. Multiple incoming missiles with decoy warheads is more than enough to completely spoof George Bushes coveted defense system.
Simply does not work. Never did.
In an odd turn of events, our fearless leader Canadian PM Stephen Harper is cosying up to Bush and his missile defense plan.
Why, you ask… when the system does not work.
Well – Bush is short buddies lately… British P.M. Tony Blair’s no longer on Dubya’s friendly Five anymore.
And, I mean… what to heck. The Canadian conservatives are so in bed with George W’s GOP that it is hard to tell who actually cleans the sheets these days.
Anyho – the World is on the brink of another Cold War that now has none other than Vlad Putin (President of Russia) pissed off with the U.S.
I am old enough to remember the last major Cold War. It was`nt pretty then and likely as not will not be pretty now.

Olympic Rant #10 - Live from Whistler · Tuesday May 29, 2007 by colin newell
That is right folks. In order to serve you better, I have come up to ground zero for the 2010 Olympics… Whistler B.C. Canada
The drive up here through all the construction was absolutely mind boggling – on a scale that is almost unimaginable.
Billions and billions spent on the 2-week party for uber-jocks, royalty and the corporate elite.
And all on your coin my Canadian friends.
Ok. Those words again…
Friend, Sea to Sky, host country and driven by natureā¦
Phrases I am forbidden to use…
upon pain of persecution.
Cheers – day one Whistler rant series.

Chase us, Tom Cruise, Chase us · Monday May 14, 2007 by colin newell
John Sweeney, a BBC reporter who worked on a Scientology documentary that’s shortly to air, describes the way that the cult psy-opsed him, following him around (even at his wedding!) and calling on his family members and neighbors (I have a friend who did a Master’s thesis on the “church” and got inept, threatening phone calls at 2AM for years afterward). Eventually, Sweeney “snapped” on camera and shouted at a Scientology leader he was interviewing.
Scientologists recorded the outburst and then complained that Sweeney had made a “terrorist death threat.” Oh, puh-leeze. If there’s anything worse than being a sinister, greedy, brain-washing cult, it’s being a crybaby sinister, greedy brainwashing cult.

More goofy Scientology factoids
I lived in a house for about 15 years and while there I got mis-delivered mail from a member of Scientology… of course I had to open that mail. It was my civic duty.
What blew me away was the catalog of stuff you had to buy to move up the Scientology rangs; cassettes, books and what-have-you…
Scientology is very much as pay as you go religion – full members could easily pay over 100,000 dollars for full enlightenment.
Yea. I guess I shouldn’t have been opening other peoples mail, huh?
That should be left to the FBI and CIA.
