You say it well and it is true.

This is exactly what I think is happening.

The fire was in a remote area and was under control, and no one was hurt, Officer Joan Eames said. There were no evacuations.

The cause of the gas main break was not immediately known.

Just a little info to whet your appetite re: my 5353 to you.

Perestroika Goals: Galitsky, Western Tech, Holland and Money

======================

.... not to mention, turning the money power of the West, and its shock troops, business leaders, into unwitting anti Western influences who would defund defense, promote dependence on unstable supply chains based on operations in Communist and reputedly ex Communist countries, and foster the incorrect view of an emerging utopian globally integrated economy which would lead to a permanent ban on wars between great powers and conquests by despots.

What follows is a sad litany of agents of influence pentrating the Western business community, and duped minions of bourgeois pretenders to true greatness attempting to wishfully think Communism out of existance, or, failing that, to out spend Communism within the commercial (but certainly not the military and Civil Defense) dimensions of the economy. J.R. Nyquist acurately catalogued the sad way of the 21st century shop keepers, who fancy themselves as would be admirals, but yet, who are navigating the ship of Western Civilization, at full sail, into the rocky shore. Vladimir Lenin once said that we, the commercial interests of the West, would ultimately sell his "Vanguard Party" the rope that would ultimately be used to hang us. I fear he was right.

Car Bomb Blast at Russian Market Kills 1

By YURI BAGROV, Associated Press Writer

VLADIKAVKAZ, Russia - A car bomb exploded Tuesday night in a parking lot in Vladikavkaz, a southern Russian city near the war-ravaged Chechen Republic, killing at least one person and wounding several.

Heavy smoke filled the area as firefighters battled flames. The blast shattered glass in buildings near the lot, which was adjacent to a bank and about 200 yards from the city's central marketplace.

Federal Security Service spokesman in Moscow said a woman pedestrian was killed and several soldiers who were passing by in a truck were hurt.

The deputy head of the provincial security council, Alexander Burayev, said there was no immediate indication of whether the blast was related to the conflict in Chechnya.

Vladikavkaz is the capital of the province of North Ossetia, to the west of Chechnya, where separatist rebels and Russian forces have been fighting since 1999.

Russian officials have blamed previous bombings in the region on Chechen rebels.

A March 1999 bombing in the city's central market killed 55 people and wounded 168. Four men were convicted and given sentences up to life in prison for the bombing.

The group was also implicated in a May 1999 bombing at a military outpost that killed four and injured 17, a June 1999 blast in Vladikavkaz that injured 17 and the abduction of three Russian soldiers.

Well Ruth, I prefer to be shown how wrong and paranoid I am.

There's still time for the enemy to make a fatal mistake.
But it's the enemy within that will destroy us, if any do.

For example, there are rumours that the DNC urged Gore to call out the military to quell conservative demonstrations in Florida 2000. That would have been a fatal error on their part. All they have to do now to win is keep us going slowly and surely down the road we are on.

Calling out the troops would have been the end of them. Maybe Gore was smart enough to know that or maybe he's just not as evil as the rest of them. Hillarius would have sent the troops, who would likely have resisited, and CWII would have been on.

An example of what would have been a fatal mistake for our external enemies, IMO, would have been to nail the state of the union speech with all our leadership in one place.

Our government stands firmly between us and our external enemies.(much of that due to the foreign money lining their pockets.) Without them holding us back there would be utter hell to pay. The citizens en masse, are smarter than the elites any day.

Even at this late date, nothing on earth could withstand our fury, if we could only get it going, instead of shivering in PC sensitivity.

We shall see.

What do you think, thwarted or Postponed/delayed? I'm sure if we didn't catch the guys, they won't be discouraged and quit the fight and go home.

Too much of that going on these days.
I can't believe how many forty to fiftyish professionals I know are doing construction, odd jobs, or selling diet pills and the like when they should be sitting atop their chosen fields.

Being strong enough to work manually is still something to be happy about.

One thing about life, it can always get worse.

Bomb Goes Off Near Moscow Building

Tue Feb 3, 8:20 AM ET

MOSCOW - A small bomb went off near the apartment of a journalist who has criticized President Vladimir Putin and the Kremlin, and the journalist expressed fear she was targeted in the blast.

The explosives detonated Monday against the door of an apartment across the hall from the apartment of Yelena Tregubova, causing no casualties, Moscow police spokesman Kirill Gerasimenko said. The apartment was empty and nobody had lived there since 2000, he said.

Tregubova, a former Kremlin reporter who criticized the Putin administration in a book published last year, said she was in her apartment when the blast occurred.

"There was a very powerful explosion outside the door, I was shaken up as if during an earthquake," she told Ekho Moskvy radio.

In comments broadcast on NTV television, Tregubova said she suspected that her telephone was bugged and that the blast was aimed at her.

She said she feared that the device "was supposed to go off at the moment when I walked out, because I told the taxi service on the phone that I was about to go downstairs."

Police said the explosion was likely an act of "hooliganism," suggesting they did not suspect a political motive. "There was too little explosive and the device was too primitive for this to have been a terrorist act," Gerasimenko said.

Tregubova covered the Kremlin for several Russian newspapers starting in 1997, but was expelled from the Kremlin pool following Putin's March 2000 election. In her book "Tales of a Kremlin Digger," she accused the Putin administration of curbing freedom of speech.

You must be tough to beat at trivia games!

With regard to the "Ruskies", my Papa has always said: "NEVER trust the Russians." He, as well as Mom, saw too much first hand.

Even in the late 60's Papa wanted to build a "bunker" in the backyard.

Very well said. I was about to reply to the assertion myself, but saw your post first.

We also know that the jihadists were playing with a type of ricin that is more readily absorbed though the skin.

Ricin is a very potent weapon in the arena of biological warfare.

Kruchevez was a Russian.

Happened about the same time that the communist manifesto was introduced to our Congressional records in 1963.

Still cloudy and cold, but the promised snow, may have missed me. Only got a drizzle.

Hugs to you, big loving ones.

Pakistan Said to Know of Nuclear Transfer

By MUNIR AHMAD, Associated Press Writer

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - The father of Pakistan's nuclear program told investigators he gave atomic weapons technology to other countries with the full knowledge of top army officials, including now-President Gen. Pervez Musharraf, a friend of the scientist said Tuesday.

Abdul Qadeer Khan, Pakistan's top nuclear scientist, also told the leader of the country's top Islamic party that he did not sign a confession about transfers of nuclear technology, as the government claims, the party said.

Khan spoke with Qazi Hussain Ahmed, head of Jamaat-e-Islami, and told him he eventually will disclose his side of the story but, for now, his case "is in the court of God Almighty," party spokesman Ameer ul-Azeem said.

The party has called for a nationwide protest Friday to support Khan and other detained scientists.

Khan told a friend he had not violated Pakistan's laws by giving out-of-use machines for enriching uranium to Iran, North Korea and other countries, the friend told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.

"Whatever I did, it was in the knowledge of the bosses," Khan's friend quoted him as saying.

The scientist also said that two former military chiefs — Gen. Mirza Aslam Beg and Gen. Jehangir Karamat — and Musharraf were "aware of everything" he was doing, the friend said.

"I am also convinced that (Khan) couldn't act unilaterally," the friend added.

Military spokesman Maj. Gen. Shaukat Sultan denied Musharraf was privy to any transfer of nuclear technology or authorized Khan to do it.

"It is absolutely wrong," Sultan said, adding that Musharraf "was not involved in any such matter. No such thing has happened since he seized power in 1999."

Musharraf has headed the army since 1998, and before that held a number of top positions in the military.

Khan, who gave Pakistan the Islamic world's first nuclear bomb, was removed Sunday from his post as scientific adviser to the prime minister after confessing to investigators he leaked nuclear secrets to other countries.

The admission shocked many in Pakistan, and raised questions about how the scientist could have spread nuclear technology without consent of the military — which has often ruled Pakistan since the country gained independence from Britain in 1947.

The two retired army chiefs, Karamat and Beg, told investigators they did not authorize nuclear transfers. Musharraf and other government officials have repeatedly ruled out official involvement in proliferation.

Officials said Tuesday that Khan smuggled high-tech centrifuges — used to enrich uranium for nuclear weapons — and other equipment to Iran, Libya, North Korea and Malaysia through an international black market network.

In some cases, he used chartered planes to smuggle the equipment, a senior government official said on condition of anonymity.

The official said two individuals, from Sri Lanka and Germany, operated on behalf of Khan in smuggling that began in the 1980s and continued at least until 1997.

Pakistan began probing allegations of nuclear proliferation in November after Iran and Libya gave information to the U.N. nuclear watchdog — the International Atomic Energy Agency.

So far, investigators have questioned two former heads of the army, scientists, engineers and security officials to determine whether they knew about the leak of nuclear technology to other countries.

Authorities are focusing on seven suspects — three scientists, including Khan, and four former security officials at Khan Research Laboratories, or KRL, a nuclear weapons facility named after Khan.

Investigators told Pakistani journalists Sunday that Khan did not sell nuclear technology for personal gain.

But two intelligence officials said Tuesday that money was a motivation.

"Definitely money was involved in this game," a senior intelligence official involved in the probe said on condition of anonymity.

Another official said on condition of anonymity, "For us, it was shocking that KRL's equipment was moved out of Pakistan, and we knew nothing. It was a misuse of authority, a breach of confidence and nothing else."

He said Khan "gave access to scientists and engineers from Iran and North Korea to our nuclear facilities" and met them outside the lab.

A close aide to Khan — Mohammed Farooq, who has been detained in the probe — was sent to Iran to help their scientists and was a key figure in the international nuclear black market, the official said.

"Time to buy a canary"

It may be!!!

I'm feeling better today, though still not 100% Thanks for all the advice and prayers!!!

I'm still a bit concerned that the news reported the cause to be a release of Naphtha by BP at 1:30 pm yesterday, while I notice the fumes 12 hours earlier. No updates on the story today on local news. Not surpising. Heck, I had to listen to the radio "news" program for almost an hour before they even mentioned the ricin attack! Then they only spent about 10 seconds on the ricin story, if that!
