Russia deploys the Father of Bombs · Wednesday September 12, 2007 by colin newell
Moscow, Sept. 12 : Russia has tested the world’s most powerful non-nuclear vacuum bomb, the military said, dubbing it the “father of all bombs”.
Russia’s ORT First Channel TV yesterday showed a strategic bomber dropping the vacuum bomb over a testing ground, which exploded in a massive fireball. Pictures of crumpled multi-story apartment blocks were also broadcast.
“Test results of the new airborne weapon have shown that its efficiency and power is commensurate with a nuclear weapon,” Russian Deputy Armed Forces Chief of Staff General Alexander Rushkin told the channel.
According to General Rushkin, the new bomb is smaller than the United States “mother of all bombs” but much deadlier because, due to nanotechnology, the temperature at the epicentre of the blast is twice as high.
“You will see it in action, the bomb which has no match in the world… Despite its destructive qualities, the vacuum bomb is environmentally friendly,” he claimed. The same report was later shown on state sponsored ‘Vesti’ channel.
Wow. The father of bombs. And environmentally friendly too! No carbon credits to buy. Win win if you ask me.
Question: Do the people that get blown up by this bomb not create an environmental impact where their body parts are scattered?
Just asking.

Hats off to the Chinese! · Thursday September 6, 2007 by colin newell
Over 40 million Chinese nationals are bloggers.
If you are an internet user in China – at home or in any internet cafe you can look forward to pop ups on your screen that remind you that you are being watched.
Any mention of Democracy online in China generally results in the dreaded ban of shame… or worse.
Of 61 people jailed World-wide for internet crime, 51 of them are in China.
Nice.
I reflect back on meeting and interviewing a mainland Chinese student at the University I work at.
She had no recollection of anything bad ever happening at Tiananmen Square.
That fact alone is sobering. It is harrowing. It is staggering.
So. To the millions of Chinese bloggers that stand diligent, that defy arrest and prosecution for expressing their free will:
I salute you.

A bridge over many troubled waters. · Friday August 3, 2007 by colin newell
A bridge has fallen in Minnesota.
Is it a domino in a much bigger picture of infrastructure decay in America?
The society of civil engineers in the U.S.A. think so.
In their shocking report they reveal that one fallen bridge may be the tip of the ice-berg.
The writers at the Coffee.bc.ca blog place the blame squarely where it belongs: At the feet of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney.
-for robbing the taxpayers of America in their largely imagined war on terror
-for diverting billions of dollars from crumbling American infrastructure to greedy-gut friends in the military industrial complex
George. Dick.
The blood and dust and heartbreak of lives lost is at your feet.
Shame. Shame.

U.S. Drones are to take over or assist the American war effort in Iraq and Afghanistan.
So. Instead of American soldiers killing people, this task will be handed off to robotic airplanes capable of staying in the air for 24 hours at a time.

Hang on… didn’t Saudi Arabia provide the bulk of the 9/11 terrorists and pilots? Curious? You should be!
David Letterman uttered a classic quote the day of 9/11:
“Why do they hate us so much?”
Well. There are hundreds of U.S. military bases world-wide protecting U.S. interests. link
The average American need only ask a few questions to get the full picture.
