The funds raised in these FReepathons go to pay our current quarter expenses. But we're also going to try to replace some of our older servers and failing equipment this year so we're going to add a little extra to our FReepathon goals. John is estimating ten to fifteen thousand to do this and I'd like to get it all in place and working before the election cycle is fully heated up, so we'll try to bring in a little extra now, if we can, and the rest next quarter.

Its time to disband NATO. Its mission ended 20 years ago, and it has become a bureaucratic monster. Now they run around installing islamists in Mid-East countries.
Turkey with its Islamist bigotry is turning out to be a real stinker in the NATO punchbowl.
The make matters worse, there is a NATO base with nuclear weapons in Turkey
Who had the bright idea of letting Turkey into NATO in the first place?
Turkey was allowed to join in 1952 because NATO needed to reinforce its southern flank. It did stop the Soviet Union easy access to the Mediterranean Sea and stop Greece from being taken over by the Communists.
This data from the new radar station would be invaluable for Israel in case of an Iranian attack. It would prepare the IDF forces to “hunker down”, give trajectory information and provide warning for the Israeli population to get into the air raid shelters.
Turkey has worn out its welcome in NATO. They proved their uselessness by denying our 4th Division the use of its territory for the invasion of Iraq in 2003 (irrespective of Colin Powell’s diplomatic incompetence). And their recent flotilla debacle, and threats against Israel should seal the deal for their exit.
Why should Israel apologize when the flotilla was obviously carrying weapons to Hamas?
I agree. But the sticking point is Incirlik Air Base and EU membership.
The least damaging action would be for the US to get our nukes and equipment out of Turkey as fast as possible and then get out of NATO, cutting off foreign aid to ‘em all.
r u insane, drunk or just an @sshole?
Turkey will pretend they really mean this and we’ll pretend to believe them
Meanwhile Turkey and Israel face common enemies and will continue to watch each others’ backs, at least back channel
Actually, LoneRangerMassachusetts is simply a M@sshole!! It comes with the territory!
