NASA plans more outreach to Muslim countries
Orland Sentinel ^ | February 16, 2010 | Mark Matthews

Posted on 03/12/2010 7:19:00 PM PST by myknowledge

WASHINGTON — NASA Administrator Charlie Bolden said Tuesday that President Barack Obama has asked him to “find ways to reach out to dominantly Muslim countries” as the White House pushes the space agency to become a tool of international diplomacy.

“In addition to the nations that most of you usually hear about when you think about the International Space Station, we now have expanded our efforts to reach out to non-traditional partners,” said Bolden, speaking to a lecture hall of young engineering students.

Charlie Bolden, under orders from Obamessiah, raches out to Muzzies? The NASA men of the past would never have dreamed of that.

What does this say?

...as the White House pushes the space agency to become a tool of international diplomacy.

Um, isn't that the job of the State Department? This clueless hack thinks that everything has to be "outreach". Once a community organizer, always an idiot.

Can we build a spacecraft large enough to send them all to space?

Is this what we are paying NASA billions of dollars to do? Check to see if the north pole is melting and reach out to muzzies who want all Americans dead? November 2012 just can’t come fast enough. We’ve got to get rid of those bass turds currently infesting Washington.

I am sure there are lots of Muslim governments that would like NASA to help with their missile programs.

Obama and the Democrats are providing long range missile technology to Muslim nations. Gee, the MSM seems to be awfully quiet about this. I just can’t understand why.

Yes,this came immediately to very, very many of us-—that this is for the purpose of technology transfers to people who are our sworn and dedicated enemies.

THE BRIEFING ROOM

THE WHITE HOUSE

Office of the Press Secretary ___________________________________________________________________________ For Immediate Release October 23, 2009

White House Announces Global Technology and Innovation Fund

During his speech in Cairo on June 4, the President announced that the United States would “launch a new fund to support technological development in Muslim-majority countries.” As the latest step in delivering on this commitment, the Overseas Private Investment Corporation announced this week a call for proposals for a Global Technology and Innovation Fund. This fund will help catalyze and facilitate private sector investments that promote access to and growth of technology in OPIC-eligible countries throughout Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. OPIC will provide financing ranging between $25 million and $150 million in total capital for each selected fund.

The Global Technology and Innovation Fund is part of an on-going U.S. government effort to expand partnerships that advance economic opportunity and job creation - including in Muslim-majority countries. Specifically, the sectors of interest for prospective funds may address issues that can have a transformational impact in these regions such as technology, education, telecom, media, business services and financial technology and clean-tech.

They are quiet about this because they are government mouthpieces. Remember this: the corporate media is in bed with the government regardless of administration.

Live from Stanford: Secretary Chu on the Global Clean Energy Challenge

Posted by Secretary Steven Chu on March 08, 2010 at 01:45 PM EST What are the steps we must take as a nation to create new, clean energy jobs and ensure America’s long-term competitiveness? What are the consequences for our climate of inaction? How can science and technology offer us new and better choices – and how can America’s young people make a difference?

Today, I’m returning to Stanford University, where I spent many years as a professor, to discuss these and many other issues with a great group of students. I’d like to invite you to watch my speech live here at 3:00PM Eastern time/noon Pacific, and then share your thoughts afterward on my personal Facebook page to continue the conversation.

SNIPPET: “Dr. Steven Chu, distinguished scientist and co-winner of the Nobel Prize for Physics (1997), was appointed by President Obama as the 12th Secretary of Energy and sworn into office on January 21, 2009.

Dr. Chu has devoted his recent scientific career to the search for new solutions to our energy challenges and stopping global climate change – a mission he continues with even greater urgency as Secretary of Energy. He is charged with helping implement President Obama’s ambitious agenda to invest in alternative and renewable energy, end our addiction to foreign oil, address the global climate crisis and create millions of new jobs.”

SNIPPET: “In announcing Dr. Chu’s selection on December 15, 2008, President Obama said, “the future of our economy and national security is inextricably linked to one challenge: energy… Steven has blazed new trails as a scientist, teacher, and administrator, and has recently led the Berkeley National Laboratory in pursuit of new alternative and renewable energies. He is uniquely suited to be our next Secretary of Energy as we make this pursuit a guiding purpose of the Department of Energy, as well as a national mission.””

Video description - quote:

shiftinaction

www.noetic.org/SIA/ShiftInActi...
The fifth in a six part video series with Van Jones, from IONS Conversations at the Edge series in San Francisco, recorded on December 2, 2005.

In this segment Van Jones uses humor, compassion and insight as he discusses the conditions in society right now and poses the question: “Who will we be in 100 years as a society?” The answer to that question clearly hinges on our current values of what constitutes ‘good and evil’.
