A Real Holocaust: Dresden Deserves To Be Remembered!

It is so shocking to realize that exactly 68 years ago today, the combined
Air Forces of both the United States and Great Britain assaulted and
firebombed the innocent city of Dreden Germany. That "Holocaust" cost the
lives of almost 500,000 innocent civilians. It was an act of cold blooded
murder on the part of the "Allies" and to this day there has been little
recognition given for that massacre, and the victims that died in that
horrible act of genocide...

Okay, the water thing was fun but rapidly hit overkill; the fact that he

Hypocrisy: US Arms Al Qaeda in Syria, Mass-Slaughters Civilians in Afghanistan
Land Destroyer at Land Destroyer - 20 hours ago
*February 13, 2013* (LD) - AFP has reported that a recent NATO airstrike in
Afghanistan has killed over 10 civilians in an all-too-familiar headline
glossed over by the Western media in an exercise of both depravity and
hypocrisy. RT's article, "NATO airstrike kills 10 Afghan civilians, mostly
women and children - officials," notes in particular that up to 11,864
civilians were killed in Afghanistan between 2007 and 2011, and that
civilian deaths before 2007 were not even tracked by the UN.
Such facts reveal alarming hypocrisy as the UN keeps almost daily, inflated

Susskind, Hrabovsky: The Theoretical Minimum
Luboš Motl at The Reference Frame - 20 hours ago
Sean Carroll locates and praises a new book by Leonard Susskind and George
Hrabovsky. (Funny, in the Czech spelling, Jiří Hrabovský is a rather famous
guy in the Czech TV News and P.R. industry.)
This book's goal is to teach you everything you need to actually follow and
do physics – including equations – but it is not a textbook. One may be
surprised how a book with equations may refuse to be a textbook and what
the word "textbook" really means ;-) but whatever it is, it is surely
successful. For example, it's #150 at amazon.com (and it was #4, we hear)

North Korean Provocation
arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
The interests of China and North Korea have been steadily diverging. To
start with China has learned that it can live beside a powerful united pro
American Korea as a natural ally. China itself is powerful enough to see
off any such challenge in the event. Better, the probability of such a war
will be of China's choosing.
In the meantime North Korea continues its reckless policy of provocation
to extort concessions from the global community after which it retreats to
the negotiating table for a couple of years. It appears that this pattern
will not be changing with the new ... more »
No Leniency in China
arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
There is certainly no better time than just at the beginning of a ten year
rule to shed the top layer of officialdom of whom ninety percent can be
easily replaced by understudies. Not only does it cool off the greed aspect
for quite a while, it restores institutional responsiveness to effective
levels without entering into a lot of local fights. So this is good and
sets the stage for actual action.
I can not imagine that the process will take long either as essentially
everybody is guilty and will be begging for mercy and a quiet retirement.

Iberian Neanderthals Prove 10,000 Years Older
arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
The immediate take home is that our carbon 14 data is vulnerable to
natural contamination able to make the samples far younger than they are.
Again this type of dating is excellent yet vulnerable to unpleasant
surprises. Unfortunately we draw conclusions that then inform further
research and get really bitten when it comes to archeology. The first trip
around that block was the idea that civilization arose in the middle east
and slowly migrated outward. Correcting ages using 6000 years of tree rings
turned decades of scholarship on its head. Now we have nicely bumped the

Global Warming Less Extreme than Feared?
arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
Needless to say, the past thirteen years of zero change has cut down the
modeling projections. What is not mentioned here is that the sensitivity to
CO2 forcing is hugely cut if not even zeroed out. Quite simply, if any part
of the rise in the nineties was due to CO2, where did it go in the past
thirteen years? You cannot claim one without addressing the other. It be
comes way easier to outright dismiss CO2 forcing.
It is within human capacity to change the climate. It is just not likely
to be by burning a lot of coal. Nature manages CO2 way too well. More

State of the Union speeches are plagued by the format. They have to be
laundry lists; that's the nature of it. At best, a president can drop in a
nice phrase or two, a nice moment. But mostly, as speeches, they just
aren't going to be memorable.
Tonight's? No exception. I counted one moment that stood out, Barack
Obama's demand for a vote on gun legislation in the name of the victims of
gun violence. The rest was fine, but nothing special as oratory. Nor has
Obama really mastered the Joint Session of Congress setting. He's okay;
better than either Bush, I'd say. But he doesn't fully... more »
Excellent Video: Truth About Libya

When the innocent nation of Libya was attacked and destroyed by the
criminals in both NATO and the United States some two years ago, we were
told by the liars in the mainstream media and our own governments that the
destruction of Libya was "necessary" to remove the "dictator" Muhammar
Gadaffi, and to bring "peace" to the Libyan people. We now know
differently... Libya was destroyed primarily to prevent Gadaffi from
breaking away from the US "Petro-Dollar" fraud, and also to prevent his
establishment of a new African Gold based currency that could have freed
