World leaders launch military action against Libya

Here is the Coalition Of The Killing /

United States, Britain, France.....Qatar (token Arab tool) Canada.

Excluded are Russia, China, Italy, Germany, Spain, all Eastern European
and countries,

This idea of "world leaders" is simply our country and two former
colonial powers who intend to carry on their whimsical nostalgia
in post-empire dreams

Based on some of the confusion of Julisus Assange and the leaks
Controversy, I would like to add the following FYI:

What is Wikileaks?

Wikileaks is a self-described "not-for-profit media organization," launched in 2006 for the purposes of disseminating original documents from anonymous sources and leakers. Its website says: "Wikileaks will accept restricted or censored material of political, ethical, diplomatic or historical significance. We do not accept rumor, opinion, other kinds of first hand accounts or material that is publicly available elsewhere."

More detailed information about the history of the organization can be found on Wikipedia (with all the caveats that apply to a rapidly-changing Wiki topic). Wikipedia incidentally has nothing to do with Wikileaks - both share the word "Wiki" in the title, but they're not affiliated.

Who is Julian Assange and what is his role in the Wikileaks organization?

Julian Assange is an Australian citizen who is said to serve as the editor-in-chief and spokesperson for Wikileaks since its founding in 2006. Previously he’d been described as an advisor. Sometimes he is cited as its founder. The media and popular imagination currently equate him with Wikileaks itself, with uncertain accuracy.

In 2006, Assange wrote a series of essays which have recently been tapped as an explanation of his political philosophy. A close reading of these essays shows that Assange’s personal philosophy is in opposition to secrecy-based, authoritarian conspiracy governments, in which category he includes the US government amidst many others not conventionally thought of as authoritarian. Thus, as opposed to espousing a philosophy of radical transparency, Assange is not “about letting sunlight into the room so much as about throwing grit in the machine.”

Why is Wikileaks so much in the public eye right now?

At the end of November 2010, Wikileaks began to slowly release a trove of what it says are 251,287 diplomatic cables acquired from an anonymous source. These documents came on the heels of the release of the “Collateral Murder” video in April, and Afghan and Iraq War Logs in July and October, which totaled 466,743 documents. The combined 718,030 are said to originate from a single source, thought to be U.S. Army intelligence analyst Pfc. Bradley Manning, who was arrested in May 2010, but that’s not confirmed.

What news organizations have access to the diplomatic cables and how did they get them?

According to the Associated Press, Wikileaks gave four news organizations (Le Monde, El Pais, The Guardian and Der Spiegel) all 251,287 classified documents. The Guardian subsequently shared their trove with The New York Times.

So have all 251,287 documents been released to the public?

No. Each of the five news organizations is hosting the text of at least some of the documents in various forms with or without the relevant metadata (country of origin, classification level, reference ID). The Guardian and Der Spiegel have performed analyses of the metadata of the entire trove, excluding the body text. The Guardian’s analysis is available for download from its website.

Wikileaks itself has released (as of 1:06pm on 7 December 2010) 960 documents out of the total 251,287.

I realize that the Department of Fatherland Security needs to implement measures
to "protect" us. But these methods via scanners are nonsense. A case in
point is methods that are used at Isreali airports.

Full-body scanners are waste of money, Israeli expert says

"I don't know why everybody is running to buy these expensive and useless machines. I can
overcome the body scanners with enough explosives to bring down a Boeing 747," Rafi Sela
told parliamentarians probing the state of aviation safety in Canada.

"That's why we haven't put them in our airport," Sela said, referring to Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion
International Airport, which has some of the toughest security in the world.

To Mr PaulLaDolce -- who states --They said the recession officially ended
months ago, but we are still seeing the effects of the recession here in
Central New York. This is extremely dismaying and uncalled for view, for
if we actually rely on these people for our social support systems retaining
such gullible attitudes from the propaganda being piped down from
the Banksters and politicians.

By the way as a pleasant reminder to all here--

athletes/sports stars, movie actors/resses,
entertainers, ..blah...blah.

helping charities. NOT - - its just to hawk
his books the man has got the disease
of Elvis/AnnaNicoleSmith/Madonna/OJSimpson-phrenia

his fame is just eating away at him-thats when u lose control

the man has a huge ego

hello holdmyLch, the guy has A HUGE EGO
- -gots to feed it each time just as an
alligator gots that BIG appettite for more
meat.

Yeah, typical response from his jock buddies, SO ITS COACHING
NOW??? I thought he was going to run for office
against John Defrancisco according to someone I work with?

Let me guess your his agent RIGHHHHTT.

Listen friend as a long -time resident in CNY
I have seen individuals in this area come and go
in their "roles" of well known sports celebs, popular
politicians and widely hyped/promoted
community leaders. Money talks B&^#S**t walks.
Where have you seen TimmyG donate some of his
proceeds from his sport jock books to the Golisano
Children's Ctr, has he helped out at Vera House?
Or how about donating some of his extra cash
towards a Rescue Mission?? Dont think so pal.

Its all in a persons inner self and what his ego
demands

Wow Ididnt see this coming THIS respected
man being convicted?? LOLOLOLOLOLO
LOLOLOLOLOLL

perhaps you have a point, Ive never met himBUT
he seems selfserving and ego-centric. Let me
ask any SU ftball fan when is the last time they
saw Timmy G work at a soup kitchen or visit the
Golisano CXhildren's wing to provide a leadership
figure in there fund-raising efforts.

Wellllll, dont think so believe he is just too busy
hawking his many shallow-themed books around
CNY. Yeah thats the epitome of our younger
educated "jocks" its no wonder the thoughtful focus
and ingenuity of CNY of the past will never appear
again. On the other hand it is now being found
in mainland China!!

Tsk, tsk...usually I like ur articles especially against
Kongel & "mall" but here you are the one that acts
as a jacka##.


First of all R you a dietician or chemist, how do
you know you TWIT what are "fillers"??
It is obvious you don't grasp thepoint RoyalPal
is trying to make in terms of how idiot newspeople
make games with statistics. AHHH Statistics..
you remember them right---more thann a box score
in sportsPage.


Your statement """Many of the off brand labels
contain excessive amounts of salts and that also
leads to an increase in weight gain."" has no merit
NOR scientific basis. Yet it is a matter of your
opinion A DUMB OPINION. SEcondly-You also must
have forgotten the old "bread for guns" economic
theory. They shoot down your nonsensical
talk. Listen with all factors being weighed in,
I can assure you if I had to choose between
gas for a vehicle/medical bills/prescriptions
AGAINST FOOD COSTS __I am willing to bet
I would purchase food items with the most basic
values of the food pyramid. I.E, bread, rice,
vegetables, cereals, etc...those are cheaper
and do not lend to you getting fat.


I should know, my family and I am on a very
tight budget and we shop mostly at ALDI's and
DO NOT BUY FOOD ITEMS WITH POGOADDICT'S FILLERS.


Have a nice Thanksgiving weekend friend, just be
careful to scrutinize the facts before calling
someone a name rightaway!!

whoaaaaaaa you say---extreme right wing ideologues

define pls who they are- who constitutes them

excuse me joe(thelesser)gr8t..of course your user Id precedes yours also

grecian...so they (CDC) doing a good job ehh.
FEMA did them folks a good job in Katrina fiasco too
doesn't matter what President is there... we still have same
clowns occupying those agencies.


BEWARE..BEWARE.. of big government try not to rely
on them especially CDC.. there are other avenues like
Red Cross, and loacl health agencies

Thanks Obama with your Vietnamization/Afghanistanization program.


I know its going to be a success....sure. It is already planned that we
will be stationing our troops in Afghanistan/Pakistan and Iraq for another
20-30 yrs. Surely it will be a question of time when casualties and deaths
approach 'Nam figure of 55K. Thank you all my fellow
Americans who voted this bozo and others of similiar ilk into
office.

Read news reports here and others - difficult to understand but may be a hoax per:

We're laughing stock of America, not just past few years , but goes back 30-35 yrs.

Remember good ole Mayor Lee Alexander, yes many of you do , WOWWWW, he was popular, he was this....blah, blah ..
he will go down with Matt Driscoll as worst politicians here. OH MAN!!

To the poster that mentioned how we may going like
The Roman Empire, well there is some truth to that.
Once we get more upheavals in the social fabric, more aethestic thinking, and no sense of what is a real American community, we're bound to be headed the same direction.

Answer: because they looking for another excuse to write a ticket.

LOLOLO , listen just lie and tell them you were on your way home from PO box, gas station, grocery.

I never tell them the truth ITS NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS.

kenyan you from south as in southside Syr

In this incredible accident involving Nikki Catsouras WHY WERE NOT ALL RECORDING DEVICES AND CELLS CONFISCATED. Yet the Calif Highway Patrol
Officers destroyed the purity of the case by leaking the photos. The same thing may occur here
in two cells one by the girl & Roverso
