Skip to comments.WikiLeaks founder uploads mystery file (WikiLeak Blackmails US and Blames US for Dead Informants)
Posted on 08/01/2010 2:55:37 AM PDT by tlb
Julian Assange has uploaded a file called insurance to the website and elsewhere. The file is 1.4 gigabytes, a thousand times larger than the recently leaked documents.
It is estimated that even the fastest computer would take millions of years to decrypt the file.
It is believed that Assange may have distributed the pass key to supporters, who could release it to the public.
The contents of the file are unknown. However, the recent release of documents, detailing the coalitions experiences in Afghanistan, are not part of the 500,000 documents from Iraq, alleged to have been sent to WikLeaks by Bradley Manning.
Admiral. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said that Assange and WikiLeaks may already have on their hands the blood of some young soldier or that of an Afghan family.
An angry Assange responded by asking Why is the Pentagon focusing on the hypothetical blood on our hands, which has never been proved, rather than the real blood of the 20,000 deaths revealed in the documents?
The top whistle blower, also criticized the US for sloppy and unprofessional security. WikiLeaks only uses code names internally for sources. Assange criticised the accessibility of the documents, saying, the information, including names of informants, was available to every member of the U.S. military and every U.S. contractor not just in Afghanistan but all over the world. The military has acted in a disgraceful and careless way.
Assange told reporters that he has plenty more material to be published, including very significant information on the BP oil spill and abuses in the US military, including sexual abuse.
In the meantime, the mystery file is being downloaded by many people, waiting for the key.

Possible bluff, but it's not like anybody in this administration will call him on it. Further even without the "insurance" I saw nothing to make me think anybody would move against him regardless.
Apparently though he has been stung by those who say he is getting Afghani informants killed.
How could a 22-year old get TS clearance??? and why was the data that he processed not compartmentalized?
Meanwhile, the Taliban appears to be carefully combing the documents that have been leaked. "We will investigate through our own secret service whether the people mentioned [in the Wikileaks documents] are really spies working for the U.S.," Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid told Britain's Channel 4 News. "If they are U.S. spies, then we know how to punish them."
The man is either a stupid fool or writer has it wrong. No encryption software exists today that the government can't break in a few days with their massively parallel arrayed decryption computers.
Any service person can get a TS clearance, but they do not receive any more classified info for which they have a "need to know" to do their job. Everythign is segmented and compartmentalized. He may have been hacking and stealing info.
I wish Wikileaks would do something patriotic FOR the USA, expose Obamas past, his history, all his credential, the entire enchilada, from the Dunham side of the family selling B-29 plans to the Russians to the connections of the American Communist party and rumored financial backing from Castro and his 50 years dream of ultimate revenge upon America.
this guy needs to get acquainted with the business end of a Mossad hushpuppy
Why did it take the military four years to get MSRAP vehicles that have been around for fifty years? Why launch Challenger against your engineers in freezing weather? Why spend trillions on urban renewal, HUD, Fresh Start when for decades it has been shown not to work but make things worse?
Why have one CIA Director surfing Russian porn sites with his issued laptop and another NS Director smuggling out documents in his pants?
We're talking government. You think anyone is going to fall for having a gay, battalion intel clerk get this stuff?
I'd love to hear from any legal experts on the forum if this guy can hypothetically be tried for treason and sentenced to the death penalty if found guilty. Although not likely to happen with this administration, I'd still like to know if it's possible.
For the sake of national security though, it would be good if he disappeared.
there may have already been soemone who fell for that gay intel clerk...and that's how the gay intel clerk got his information.
If 1.4 gb is 1000 times larger than the previous release, that'd mean that the previous release was only 1.4 MB... small enough to fit on an old-fashioned (1980s) floppy drive.
I am not any kind of expert.
But I recall about ten years ago, when I had to reactivate a clearance, I asked the FBI interviewer what the status of the Designated Counties List was, and he said with disgust, "It's not politically correct any more".
That said, regardless that I doubt anything will be done, the people responsible and the people in the press who republished it need to be whacked. Today.
If they needed it for his job; and all communications types need high level security clearances, they would have a background investigation and if passed, given the appropriiate clearance. I'd have to guess there may have been some in that age group on the USS Pueblo. The reserve unit I joined in the late '60s was a group of cryptologists. I had a TS by 20 y/o.
Same here in the early 70's. US Army 31S

I went to CT"R" SCO 1957 and had full BI while in Boot Camp (17yo) and received INT TS around 19 (if not earlier, not sure what was reqd for CT SCO) while aboard ship as RM and working as Cryptographer and around TS material...as they said, though most was need to know or 'eyes only'.
Assange is not just ni fear of US government. The Aussie military intelligence hierarchy have been hounding him weeks before he first announced the preannouncement of the big leak.
Fair to say the military intelligence in the Anglosphere and Commonwealth all have him on their radar.
Can't remember. Gays from elite British schools, 'meeting' American elite gays, all passing on to the Soviets.
Philby. Never turn your back on a man who calls himself "Kim." Nyuk...nyuk...nyuk.
"WikiLeak Blackmails US and Blames US for Dead Informants"
He's engaging in the same tactics used by Democrats.
(Another ally of the Democrat Party.)
I read some of these action reports yesterday. Hard to see how the vast bulk of what I read could be of use to the enemy. Maybe some names in there, but I did not see any.
It's also very hard to see how this is going to galvanize opposition to the war.
I think this guy's efforts are as likely to escalate the war as help bring it to an end. Neither is very likely, but it would be interesting if his efforts backfired and actually caused an escalation of the war.
The application only checks your background to the age of 18.
It may also be that he didn't have a TS clearance - it may be that the Washington Post has no idea that there's any difference between a TS and an S clearance, and that any classified data is always compartmentalized in some manner by the "Need To Know" paperwork. There is no access without the proper clearance and the proper NTK.

Wonder why we are going down the road we are .........??????????????
Project Bovine RC5-64 possibly the fastest computer on earth has recently reached a speed of 76.1 Billion passwords per second!
No sympathy with Assange, but the trick of posting encrypted information on the web to discourage official retribution may be useful for others with more worthy causes.
Age has nothing to do with TS clearance. It is all about the background check and interview and today a lot of those are done by third party for the military.
Would he happen to have any birth certificates in his file?
The chart you showed says the toughest encryption would take 83.5 days to crack at 1 billion passwords per second. Divide your 83.5 / 76.1 = 1.09 days for Project Bovine to crack.
The man is either a stupid fool or writer has it wrong. No encryption software exists today that the government cant break in a few days with their massively parallel arrayed decryption computers.
Maybe. But suppose all that's in there is random numbers: could a government that wanted to move against Assange be sure it was that, and not data that their decryption efforts had failed to read?
Wikipedia says this is the worlds current fastest computer:
In November 2009, the AMD Opteron-based Cray XT5 Jaguar at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory was announced as the fastest operational supercomputer, with a sustained processing rate of 1.759 PFLOPS.[6] [7]
I'm sure somewhere the military has stuff that's faster,
if not the same.
Was Wikileaker Bradley Manning Betrayed By His Queer Identity?
Was Wikileaker Bradley Manning Betrayed By His Queer Identity?It's been speculated that alleged Army leaker, PFC Bradley Manning, is transgendered. We've found evidence that strongly suggests Manning has some sort of LGBT identity, and that the man who snitched on him exploited this to win his trust.
Twenty-two year-old army intelligence specialist Bradley Manning was arrested May 26th for allegedly leaking the notorious Iraq Apache attack helicopter video and more than a quarter million classified State Department documents to secret-sharing website Wikileaks. He was turned in by his confidant, ex-hacker Adrian Lamo. Lamo then gave logs of his chats with Manning to Wired's Kevin Poulsen, who broke the story of Manning's arrest.
There are many unanswered questions about this storythe largest of which is: Why would Manning trust an ex-hacker he had never met enough to confess, almost immediately, via instant message, his terrible Wikileaks secretsomething he knew could put him in prison for a long time? Lamo told Salon that Manning found him by doing a Twitter search for "Wikileaks," and that he doesn't know what motivated his confession. Yeah fucking right.
Wired suggested Manning sensed a "kindred-spirit in the ex-hacker" Lamo. But Manning and Lamo also apparently share something stronger than a fondness for breaking into computer systems: An LGBT identity. Lamo is an out bisexual, while an increasing number of clues suggest that Manning is, if not transgendered, deeply uncertain about his sexuality and/or gender. Interviews with Lamo's acquaintances and a close reading of the chat logs suggest Lamo traded on this identity to exploit Manning at his most vulnerable, as questions about his sexuality were unbearably pressing on his personal and professional lives......
That being said, I am sure that JA is aware of this and using the best possible methods that he is aware of.
Can you run the numbers to see what would happen using the bove parameters?
Besides, the govt. will eventually crack it (probably 4Chan also) to see what it is, if it's legit, then they will know if he is bluffing or going "all in."
Two problems, one is that it almost impossible to create a random key no matter how hard you try. Second, is that I suspect that the government has the backdoors for all currently available encryption programs.
Next, it would take the maximum length of time required under impossible long odds. The computer has a 1 in 20 chance of guessing the password after just 5% of the time required. A 1 in 4 chance of having guessed the password after 25% of the time has expired, etc...
They checked everyone who knew me in high school I was 21. The question of compartmentalization is right on target how ever. The question that should have been asked was : What was his need to know.
I had a TS NOFORN in Europe in 1960.
and my summer time jobs and what neighborhood I drove through.
They checked everyone who knew me in high school
I was 21.
The question of compartmentalization is right on target how ever.
The question that should have been asked was :
What was his need to know.
And where was Counter Intel? How did he have a blog and an active Facebook account?
Untrue, totally.
Not "totally", assuming record is clear, doesn't hang out with Marxists, radical professors, live abroad, not have a birth certificate, have multiple social security numbers, etc. yea, that may put a block on your background check.
BTW the Private who leaked the stuff is a radical Gay.
It is estimated that even the fastest computer would take millions of years to decrypt the file.
Textbook example for a non sequitur.
The file size has absolutely nothing to do with how long it would take to break the encryption code. A 1kB file encrypted with the same key would take exactly as long to decrypt.
I held a TS w/SBI at 18.
If the file is too short it can not be decrypted as there would be several possible solutions. In order to have a definite solution the corpus should have a certain minimum length.
"Top Secret" clearances are a dime a dozen in our government. The recent Washington Post investigation revealed there are over 800,000 people who have them. What's more absurd is that they are given for every job imaginable inside the federal beast - everything from an analyst at the Pentagon down to the guy who makes travel arrangements for the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Yes, of course. 1kB was extreme just to make a point. Make it 1 MB or 10MB then.
I take it you haven't studied encryption.
Why? He's exposing the inanity of this war, which the media and the military are trying to keep hidden. Sounds more like heroism than treason.
I don't think any encryption algorithm is safe against a multi-million dollar supercomputer array system designed to crack encrypted files.
I don't know what the dollar value is of the most advance technology the government current employs, but I know there are massively arrayed super-fast computers dedicated to breaking encryption. I doubt anything this guy used would be safe. Especially, since the story says he handed the key out to several people. There is no such thing as a secret if two if more than one person knows.
The file is 1.4 gigabytes, a thousand times larger than the recently leaked documents. It is estimated that even the fastest computer would take millions of years to decrypt the file.The estimate is from someone who has never used anything north of an abacus. :') Thanks AdmSmith!

If you own a desktop computer, you'll need a monitor. The best overall monitor right now is the Dell UltraSharp U2713HM. It delivers fantastic performance on an extreme-definition (2,560x1,440-pixel), 27-inch screen, with great ergonomic options, and a useful assortment of connections, for $800. If that number sounds too rich for your blood, the Asus PA248Q sells for as low as $310, with a 24-inch, 1,920x1,200-pixel screen, ergonomic options, each major video connection, and unique and useful customization settings. Finally, if money is no object and owning the absolute best performer is a priority, the HP DreamColor LP2480zx should be your one and only choice. At $2,900, however, it's obviously not for everyone. Check out the rest of CNET's list of top monitors for more options.
Three rules for buying a monitor
1. Know your needs
There are plenty of important questions you should ask yourself before you plop down cash for a monitor, but the most important is, what are you planning to use it for?
Are you looking for a basic window on to e-mail and the Web? How important are ergonomic options to you? What about the onscreen display (OSD) settings? How detailed should they be? What about size? How much screen real estate do you require? Are you planning to run concurrent programs? What about connections? What type does your computer support?
2. Warranties and support matter
Make sure your chosen manufacturer offers a money-back guarantee. Most displays will show any problems right out of the box or within the first month or two of use, so you want to be able to return it for a refund or an exchange with a minimum of hassle. A 90-day return policy is standard, but this varies among retailers (many online retailers give you only 30 days). Also, beware of restocking fees.
Next, consider the warranty coverage. Most companies offer two to three years of parts-and-labor coverage; anything less is suspect. Make sure that the backlight is covered by the warranty. Also note a company's policy on defective pixels; one or two defects are to be expected, but if there are many, you should be able to return the unit for exchange or a refund.
You're far less likely to need technical support for a monitor than for a computer system or a software program. Still, it's good to know that there's someone you can call if trouble arises; look for toll-free support numbers and weekend coverage.
Be sure to keep all of the packing material for your monitor. If you should ever need to return it or ship it back for warranty service, you'll need the packaging. Monitors can be bulky, fragile, and extremely difficult to protect adequately. You don't want to end up improvising when shipping it.
3. Performance is key
When you're using your monitor, you're staring at its screen. Obvious, yes, but it's important to make sure you like the types of images it displays before you buy. The best way to do this is obviously to see it in person. Monitor reviews are helpful when deciding between multiple monitors, but nothing can determine a monitor's image quality better than your own eyes. If possible, try before you buy.
Screen size
17- to 20-inch
Many 17-inch monitors have 4:3 aspect ratios, which may not fit the needs of many people today who have grown accustomed to wide-screen displays. Nineteen-inch screens are typically wide screens with a 16:10 aspect ratio. Unfortunately, their resolutions don't usually break the 1,366x768-pixel barrier. As for 20-inchers, you likely won't find one these days not sporting a 16:9 aspect ratio with a 1,600x900-pixel resolution. Not the sharpest resolution, but at least HD (720P) movies will play at their natural aspect ratio. Prices for these sizes can range anywhere from $100 to $350.
21.5- to 23-inch
The 21.5- and 22-inch monitors are the smallest with 1,920x1,080 resolution and at this size, monitors begin to feature more useful connections like HDMI and even DisplayPort. Prices in these sizes range from $130 to up to $500 depending on the panel technology, which we'll discuss later.
Twenty-four-inch monitors are in a class all their own. They're the only monitors that function at both 1,920x1,080- and 1,920x1,200-pixel resolutions. Good ones (and by "good" ones, I mean those with at least an IPS panel) can range from $300 to over $700 and, in some cases, over $2,500.
27- to 30-inch
Twenty-seven-inch monitors are capable of 1,920x1,080- and 2,560x1,440-pixel resolutions. Prices start at $250 for the lower-resolution models, but can reach well over $1,000 for extreme-definition versions. The 30-inch displays run at 2,560x1,600 pixels, start at about $1,100, and can reach upward of $3,000. However, with the advent of extreme-definition 27-inch displays, 30-inch displays are having a difficult time justifying their price.
Key considerations
Panel type
The CRT has effectively been replaced by its thinner and brighter sister, the LCD. Under the umbrella of LCD technology, there are a few choices to make before buying a monitor. First, you'll have to decide which panel technology is right for you.
Twisted nematic (TN)
The main advantages of TN panels are their fast -- usually 2ms (or less) -- response time and their low price. Their major disadvantages are narrow viewing angles, relatively low brightness, and inaccurate color reproduction.
Vertical alignment (VA)
VAs have better viewing angles than TNs, better color reproduction, and typically a much higher maximum brightness. Also, they tend to have the lowest black levels of the four major panel technologies. Unfortunately, a VA panel's response time and input lag are not quite as fast as a TN panel's, and monitors using them can cost anywhere from $400 to $800, and sometimes more depending on the panel's size. Also, you can expect a VA-based monitor's profile to be wider than a TN's.
In-plane switching (IPS)
IPS-based monitors are usually the most expensive; however, monitors using e-IPS panels can cost as little as $150 (for a 22-inch monitor). They also tie with PLS for the best viewing angles of all the technologies and produce the most accurate colors; however, their blacks are not as deep as VA panels'. IPS monitors are the slowest of the bunch in both response time and input lag.
Plane-line switching (PLS)
PLS is a new panel technology from Samsung that debuted with the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet, but the first monitor to make use of the tech was the Samsung SyncMaster S27A850D. PLS panels sport viewing angles as wide as IPS, while offering higher brightness at a lower cost in power consumption. According to Samsung, production costs for PLS panels are 15 percent lower than for IPS, as well.
Let's clear this up right away: LED and LCD technologies are not mutually exclusive. To ask what the differences are is like asking what the difference is between Vibram FiveFingers shoes and rubber soles.
The term LCD stands for liquid crystal display. LCDs use liquid crystals to express what you see on the screen. The crystals act as a shutter for the backlight, and, depending on the type of charge given to them by the monitor's built-in electrodes, the crystals will either allow light through to the user or shut it out, thereby allowing the pixels to express their appropriate colors, making up what you see on the screen.
LED-based monitors are still LCDs (they still use liquid crystals to express images onscreen), but they use a different type of backlight than what is normally used. Most monitors of the last few years have used cold cathode fluorescent (CCFL) tubes as their backlight of choice.
Types of LED backlights on monitors
This is the type of LED backlight most commonly used in today's monitors and features white LEDs aligned along the edge of the monitor matrix, right behind the liquid crystal array.
EL-WLED is the cheapest and smallest of the three technologies, which is why it's the most widely used. WLED backlights typically draw much less power than any other backlight tech.
Instead of using white LEDs on one edge of the screen like the previous technology, RGB LEDs are aligned all over the panel matrix. Each individual light is capable of producing red, green, or blue light. This gives the display access to a high color gamut with colors more accurate than what's possible on WLEDs. RGB tech is very expensive and doesn't permit a thin design.
Heralded as the successor to DVI and HDMI, DisplayPort is a higher-bandwidth connection that could facilitate thinner and lighter monitors as they would no longer require special circuitry (and hardware to run that circuitry) to receive a video signal. We've seen a fairly low adoption rate of the format thanks to comparatively low profit margins and the industry's reliance on legacy ports like VGA; however, things began ramping up in 2012.
In 2013, so far I've noticed a increase in ubiquity of the format, based on the admittedly few monitors I've gotten hands-on time with. However, judging by the specs of many new monitors from Dell, HP, Samsung, and Asus, DisplayPort appears to be gaining solid traction. It'll be interesting to watch how its adoption plays out through the end of the year.
Some newer monitors forgo digital visual interface (DVI) in favor of HDMI. If this is the case with the monitor you're interested in, make sure the monitor includes a DVI-to-HDMI cable or that your video card supports an HDMI connection. Having said that, we recommend getting a monitor with at least one DVI connection.
An HDMI connection is used to connect the display to a high-definition source, such as a Blu-ray player, video game system, or DVR-based HD cable/satellite set-top box. HDMI connections are extremely common these days and it's the exception now when a monitor, 22 inches and larger, doesn't have one. If you're planning to use your monitor as a television, this is an essential feature.
A few tips on how to look for what you want
Viewing angle: Look at the monitor from different angles and be aware of how much the colors shift or if the screen darkens. Also, pay attention to the angle when the screen begins to look different. Colors and brightness should not change when viewing the screen from an off angle, either from the sides, top, or below. TN panels will be the most egregious offenders.
Text: Go to a Web site and scrutinize the legibility of small text. Firefox lets you change the font size from its options menu. Also, be aware of any color-tint problems when viewing black text on a white background.
Accurate colors: View something you're familiar with, like a digital photo of a loved one or colleague you see every day, on the monitor; notice how different the colors in the picture look on the monitor.
Glossy screens: These can seemingly increase the contrast of movies and games. Some people don't appreciate the extreme reflectiveness, however. View both glossy and matte screens, and decide which looks better to you.
Low black level: The closer a monitor can get to displaying black, the better. True black is elusive; the most you can hope for is that a monitor displays very dark gray. Check out dark scenes in movies, and notice how dark the black gets without actually losing the detail of a scene.
An adequate graphics card is a necessity
What's going on inside your computer can have a profound effect on what's displayed on your monitor. If you hook up a 4- or 5-year-old PC to a top-of-the-line new monitor, there's a good chance your graphics card will need an upgrade to give you the best possible image quality. You'll need a card that supports your interface, be it DVI or HDMI, and it will need to support your monitor's resolution -- this is especially important on 27-inch models with 2,560x1,440-pixel resolutions. Sometimes, improving your graphics card's performance can be as easy as installing a driver upgrade from the manufacturer's Web site.

Skip to comments.Thank Goodness for Obamacare: Hidden Amendment Prevents Gun and Ammo Registry
Posted on 01/10/2013 7:07:45 AM PST by drbuzzard
Sometimes you have to pass the bill to find out whats in it, to paraphrase former Speaker Nancy Pelosi. As reported at IJR earlier today, a hidden amendment in Obamacare prevents a national gun and ammunition registry.
Thats right. It was put into the bill by Senator Harry Reid in order to keep the NRA out of the Obamacare fight. Well, thank you Harry Reid?
The Nevada senator, after all, is a fan of guns and firearms, believing them to be as American as baseball or football. (Football without suspected black conservative quarterbacks who play injured in big games, that is.)
Breitbart.com picked up on the story (which IJReview first learned of via The Right Scoop):
It seems that in their haste to cram socialized medicine down the throats of the American people, then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Barack Obama overlooked Senate amendment 3276, Sec. 2716, part c.
According to reports, that amendment says the government cannot collect any information relating to the lawful ownership or possession of a firearm or ammunition.
CNN is calling it a gift to the nations powerful gun lobby.
So, even CNN has recognized the provision in the otherwise monstrous law. And now that the Republican Party has control of the House well, sort of there is no good reason for any of Feinsteins gun laws to sail through Congress.
Not that any Democrat-run government will actually respect the law (see: the budget, FCC Internet regulation, the offshore drilling moratorium, the War Powers Act, etc ).
The Joe Biden gun-grabber task force has already indicated that this is above his pay-grade and Obama is going to have to straighten this out. Let me inform you jokers, its above both your paygrades: The Constitution forbids it. That would be the law of the land that decides if what the Congress or the Executive does is valid or not in plainfolk-speak.
The Senate vote on the Feinstein gun ban package is preliminarily scheduled for as early as January 22nd, the exact same day as newly returned Hillary Clinton is slated to testify on Benghazi. Since were loading up politically important events in Washington D.C. for that day, add another to the Democrat roll call: repeal Obamacare.
Yeah, and like the trick Kennedy used to play to get the dupes to vote for his bills, there's probably a clause at the end of the bill that eradicates the previous clause.
Not only will Obama be bared from creating a registration scheme by executive fiat, he is barred by the law HE SIGNED! I'm sure there a more than a few conservative federal judges that will be happy to slap on an injunction and remind him of this little fact if he's dumb enough to try.
When they do shoot, it hits their own foot every time.
Right. Like they'll pay the least bit of attention to "the law".
Unfortunately, when you read the text, what it says is that you cannot use the Obamacare legislation as a justification or controlling authority for a gun or ammunition registry. There are plenty of other vague bits of legislation out there outside of ObamaCare that The One can try to warp to justify his desires.
I'm sure Der Fuehrer has an executive order ready to fix that portion of the law.
Specifically, see this:
Or the DOJ will publicly declare they explicit intent to ignore that portion of the law. See DoM.
He can issue an EO to clarify an existing law. This is a prime example of this. He will merely add that it is only in the context of doctor-patient confidentiality as iut relates to MEDICAL records.
There's a LOT of misinformation about this floating around. The actual verbiage of the law is specific only to the law itself. It prohibits activities under the ACA (i.e. doctor visits) from requesting information or cataloging that information under the guise of the ACA.
If Obama & Co. wanted to pass a registration requirement OUTSIDE of the ACA, they could. Additionally, the ACA states that they cannot ask questions about LEGAL firearm ownership. If they make it illegal to own or possess firearms, Katy bar the door. Any hint of illegal activity can be cataloged and likely will.
Your doctor becomes a deputized law enforcement officer who can report suspicious behavior straight to the brown coats in DC.
What's law to a pig?
This won't even be a bump in the road for the man of lawlessness. The Dim's will just 'change their mind' and pass a new law revoking the old law.
Backatcha beeyotch!!!!!!
It in no way precludes Obama and his regime of Muslim sympathizers from creating a new database or even confiscating all form 4473s nationwide for use in creating a database that will show them who has what.
The much touted language about firearms in ObamaCare has little to do with the current situation.
"You got to pass it to know what is in it."
Thanks for that one.
Yeah, I get that now. Shouldn't have gotten any hopes up.
1) I don't believe any of this and 2) Obama will issue an executive order doing a) ban on sales and b) ordering registration.
Game, set, match.
Okay... Guess we'll just have to repeal all of Obamacare except for that amendment.
Someone at the NRA saw this coming. Thank goodness for the NRA, and thank stupidity for Harry Ried. Harry got hoodwinked.
But this lawless bunch at the whitey hut don't follow laws anyway. Don't see this even slowing them down.
You are correct.
This is the actual text of the language:

I really wish that bloggers wouldn't try to be lawyers. Moreover, I wish that conservatives wouldn't throw out these bloggers as authoritative sources of information. It makes our side look like a bunch of conspiracy freaks.
It will probably go to the Supreme Court.
Prediction: Obama will win. Wonder how Roberts will go on this one...
now we can repass that specific provision as an independent law and even preempt states.
Not a problem for the administration - with Roberts on SCOTUS, it will be determined that recording/removing our weapons is a legitimate tax...
Anyone who thinks the Republicans in congress will block changes to this or stand up if any other legislation ignores it- Anybody who believe that is ready for some Grade A swamp land in Florida.
You mean those very same upstanding, moral and ethical guys who have blown off every single attempt by the citizens to shed some light on the stinking pile of effluent called Obama's background and qualifications to even be on the POTUS ballot?
THOSE "conservative" federal judges???????????????????
Yer dreamin buddy.
I wonder how many more members than 5 million will now happen?
That said, for INSURANCE purposes this may hold but for police state purporses this may not apply.
Remember, judges are creatures of the belway. ALL judges.
Please let all of your ,or any active military friends and family know that can have a FREE one-year membership to NRA.
NRA offers troops free one-year membership
By Karen Jowers - Staff writer
Posted : Tuesday Aug 14, 2007 17:07:55 EDT
Active-duty military personnel are eligible for a free one-year membership in the National Rifle Association.
A one-year membership typically costs $35. This offer will run indefinitely, said Zach Price, workplace giving coordinator for the NRA Office of Advancement. It is also open to Guard and Reserve members who have been called to active duty.
Service members can sign up for the free years membership online.
Benefits of membership include a subscription to an NRA magazine, $5,000 worth of accidental death and dismemberment coverage, and $1,000 of ArmsCare coverage for firearms, air guns, bows and arrows against theft, accidental loss and damage, as well as other benefits.
NRA wants to emphasize the partnership between itself and the military, Price said. Theres a lot of overlap with the military in shooting sports, training classes, and a lot of present NRA members are current or former military. The NRAs ties with the military reach back to 1871 when the association was founded by two Union army veterans.
We want to give a big thank-you to our active-duty troops, Price said.
As with all similar association memberships, he said, members are asked if they want to renew at the end of their membership, as paid members.
Der Zero Mein Feuhrer.
I don't know why you feel that way. All they have to do now is pass a law which repeals that provision. And the only barrier to doing that is the Republicans (hah!) in the House.

Science Confirms: Twitter Dominated by Self-Obsessed Dudes
Harvard has looked at the data and two studies have reached an unavoidable conclusion: Self-absorbed loudmouth guys have overrun Twitter like no other place on the internet. You probably figured. But now there are numbers.
Harvard Business Review has found, "The top 10% of prolific Twitter users accounted for over 90% of tweets. On a typical online social network, the top 10% of users account for 30% of all production." And a separate study shows that Twitter's about the only social network where men are more likely to be "followed" by both other men and by women. That's in contrast to other social networks, where "most of the activity is focused around women."
Even Wikipedia, notorious for being run by a tiny, self-obsessed cabal, is not so bad: There, 90 percent of the content comes from the most active 15 percent of users.
Such asymmetry, of course, is baked right into Twitter's architecture. The microblogging service grew quickly because it allows one-way "follows." On Facebook, in contrast, accounts can only be linked with the permission of both parties.
If it's any consolation, relentless self-promotion is a necessary but not sufficient condition of popularity on Twitter. Have a look at Twitter's most prolific authors — have you heard of a single one? But good luck becoming one of the most influential tweeters if you don't constantly churn out copy.

Finn Russell has been handed his fourth start for the Warriors for Friday's crucial RaboDirect Pro12 match against the Ospreys.
Finn Russell has been handed his fourth start for the Warriors, lining up at centre alongside Alex Dunbar for Friday's crucial RaboDirect Pro12 match against the Ospreys at Scotstoun Stadium.
Ospreys are currently fourth and the Warriors are fifth in the Pro12, with just four points separating the sides. Glasgow have two home games in hand against Treviso and Edinburgh as they look to try and secure a play-off place.
Gregor Townsend has made three changes to the side that defeated Scarlets 14-6 at Scotstoun last Saturday.
Peter Murchie continues at full-back and Tommy Seymour and Niko Matawalu keep their places on either wing.
21-year-old Russell comes in at inside centre with Dunbar moving outside in place of Richie Vernon, who has been named among the replacements.
Duncan Weir and captain Chris Cusiter continue their half-back partnership.
Pat MacArthur comes in for Dougie Hall at hooker and he'll play alongside props Jon Welsh and Gordon Reid in the front row. Leone Nakarawa replaces the injured Tim Swinson in the second-row and partners Jonny Gray.
There are no changes to the back row with Rob Harley, Chris Fusaro and Josh Strauss all keeping their places in the starting XV.
The Warriors welcome back Scotland international Ryan Wilson, who has been named on the bench, while Sean Maitland continues his comeback from injury as a replacement.
"This is our biggest game of the season so far with valuable league points up for grabs," said Glasgow Warriors head coach Gregor Townsend.
"It was an important win for us last weekend because Scarlets were one place below us in the league and tomorrow we play the team that are one place above us, so this is a crucial game.
"Ospreys are a very physical side with a number of good playmakers in their backs so we'll have to be at our best defensively. Like any game against a top side, we'll have to seize any opportunity that comes our way.
"We are well aware of the huge challenge we face tomorrow night and we're looking forward to playing in front of a big crowd at Scotstoun and the Glasgow support will have a key role to play."
Meanwhile, Hanno Dirksen and James King come into the Ospreys starting XV as Sam Lewis makes his 50th appearance for the region.
"This is a massive game for us and the group are under no illusions of the size of the task ahead over next couple of months," said Ospreys head coach Steve Tandy.
"We are in fourth place at the moment but Glasgow are breathing down our necks with a couple of games in hand, which makes it more important than ever that we go there on Friday night and are on top of our game in all areas. Every player will need to know their role, pay attention to detail and be clinical in everything they do. There is absolutely no margin for error if we want to keep hold of a play-off spot so we know what we've got to do.
"It's all building up to be a real exciting end of season and we want to be involved right til the end. We realise that there is a lot of expectation on our shoulders being the only team from Wales in the mix again but that comes with being an Osprey and the boys have to stand up when the pressure is on.
"This is a young group of players and that makes this all the more exciting. We have a back line with an average age of 23, and it's only 25 in the forwards. They may be young, but there is considerable experience despite the age, and what is really exciting is that their best days are ahead of them.
"We know what this group can do. We are trying to develop a style of rugby that will excite fans and there have been a few glimpses in recent weeks of how that is coming along. It's important now that they back it up on Friday night with a winning performance when it really matters.
"Looking further ahead, there's a lot to be positive about with this group of players, in terms how they will serve the region and develop together as a team. For now though, it's all about Glasgow."
Form: Glasgow Warriors have won their last two matches at Scotstoun but have not managed to score more than two tries in a game at the venue in any match this season. The most recent RaboDirect PRO12 fixture featuring the Warriors to yield a try bonus point for either side came when the Ospreys last visited Scotstoun in round 21 last season. Ospreys have slipped to four straight away defeats in all competitions and have not won outside of Wales since a trip to Connacht in the PRO12 in September. The Welshmen's only victory in their last eight visits to Scotland since 2009 came when they beat Edinburgh 15-14 at Murrayfield in February 2012. Glasgow have won their last five contests with Ospreys whilst the Welsh region's most recent victory in Glasgow came on a trip to Firhill in September 2009.
The teams:
Glasgow: 15 Peter Murchie, 14 Tommy Seymour, 13 Alex Dunbar, 12 Finn Russell, 11 Niko Matawalu, 10 Duncan Weir, 9 Greig Laidlaw (c), 8 Josh Strauss, 7 Chris Fusaro, 6 Rob Harley, 5 Jonny Gray, 4 Leone Nakawara, 3 Jon Welsh, 2 Pat MacArthur, 1 Gordon Reid

By SYLVIA NELSON
It was truly "A Night of Historical Memories" as members of the Emery County Historical Society and guests met to hear about the founding, running, and demise of the many sawmills located in the mountains around Emery County. Guest speaker, Dennis Nelson, of Ferron, a retired educator who served as Superintendent of Schools for Emery County, also talked about prospecting and getting the "uranium bug in your blood."
Society President, JoAnn Behling, welcomed the audience followed by a prayer and the pledge to the flag. Past President, Sam Singleton, took a moment to introduce a special lady he dubbed "the Queen of Emery County" because Singleton went on to say, "she was and still is!" and everyone sang "Happy Birthday" to Emma Huntington of Castle Dale, a long time society member and supporter, who is celebrating her 92nd birthday.
The large crowd of 50 or more enjoyed the blend of voices of Joan Burke and Shaun Tomsich as they sang songs reflecting the time of the old sawmills and logging camps. Everyone joined in with "You are my Sunshine" and "Home, Home on the Range."
Dennis Nelson said that he worked in and owned sawmills for much of his young life. First they lived in a tent all summer and then a cabin was eventually built. They would stay on the mountain felling trees and sawing them into lumber from Monday through Saturday, then they could bring a load down. The trees were marked by the forest ranger. The stumps could only be 12 inches or less high. Notching the tree decided the direction the tree would fall. Wedges were hammered in to help control the way the tree should fall. Wedges were also used to keep the weight of the tree or logs from stopping or binding up the saw.
Nelson demonstrated props of a long timber saw with two kinds of teeth. Four straight teeth were called cutting teeth then there would be one tooth with a notched sharp end called the drag teeth that cut on the drag pull back. He also had a tool called a "can hook" or PT, that he and the men all came to call the "can't hook". This tool was essential to hooking and rolling the logs and maneuvering them where they needed to go. He also had a large ax and a pair of work gloves. His colorful demonstrations of each brought laughs to the audience and some questions, too.
Some terms that Nelson explained were "winnie edge," "the carriage," "scale board," "bridge planks," "off bearing," "skids," and even "lumpy-dick." The most colorful term was "two-holer" which described the new outhouse that was built and was given a very funny and creative dedication.
"There were poor times during the depression years. Lumber was selling for $25 a 1,000 board feet." The lumber they made was used like and instead of currency most of the time; even the doctor who delivered the babies was paid in lumber.
Logging was hard and dangerous work but being in the beauty of the mountains all summer was also a time that made him and many young boys into men. He told of the strength of a gentle giant named Glen Barney who could lift and carry unusually heavy loads. He also had the natural ability to high jump and was awarded a college scholarship because of this skill.
After Nelson's service in the military, he married, and received a laugh when he said, "and decided that the real money was in teaching school." He taught in schools in Carbon County before being named as Superintendent in the Emery School District. All his life he had wanted to build his own home so he checked out and bought a "one man sawmill from up in Oregon" and after retiring he was able to fulfill that goal.
"In the past 50 years the techniques and technology have changed a lot in timber cutting, sawmills and lumber yards."
After more songs by Burke and Tomsich, ending with "Til We Meet Again" it was time to hear about the times in the 1940s when everyone got bit by the prospecting bug.
Nelson's father really was smitten by the uranium bug and thus his sons got into it some also. They bought a Geiger counter, called "a snifter." First time out they found some really "high grade" ore, but alas, it was only a small pocket. The ore was separated and refined through something called a "milk process." The prospecting and excitement of hitting the big one ran high for many years.
Nelson chuckled as he said, "Whether you are rich or you think you are, you start to thinking of how you want to spend that money. We started by thinking of a new washer, cause ours was leaking. And maybe then thought about the luxury of a couch."
Their family did mine enough uranium to get paid the bonus of the ten thousand dollars that the US government was offering as incentive to finding new uranium sources.
"It was a good experience and there were lots of good times, but nobody I knew got rich quick or easy." stated Nelson. He left the audience with smiles when he said he hadn't expected so many people so he hadn't prepared very much to say.
Refreshments were enjoyed while visiting, along with the wonderful treat of shiny apples that were grown, picked and shared by ECHS members, Mike and Carol Beard, who came all the way from Fruit Heights just to get in on some more historical memories.
The Emery County Historical Society lead by JoAnn Behling, President for 2002-03, is one of the largest and most active historical groups in Utah with a current membership of 70 members. New members are welcome.
Contact any officer: Behling; Terry Williams, President Elect; Maribelle Wareham, Secretary; or Dixie Swasey, Treasurer, and simply hand them your "five bucks" along with your mailing address.

(May 12) Today we're celebrating . . . Limerick Day
Limerick Day
A limerick is a five line poem popularized by Edward Lear. On this his birthday, take some time to write your own limerick today. Here is an example to get you started. . .
There once were some rhymes they called limericks
Repeated by smart men and dimwits
They're easy to make
A real piece of cake
Until you get to the last line
And many limericks can be quite colorful. Remember – There once was a man from Nantucket. . . ??

The X-Change Files explores the intersections of science and entertainment, regularly taking a look at the ways in which science is portrayed in film and television. Learn More
I wish I had a sexy story to explain why I began to study romantic love. But my interest most likely stems from the fact that I am an identical twin. Long before I learned about the nature/nurture debate in college, I was busy examining how my sister and I were alike. This fascination then transformed into a life-long drive to understand human nature – all those traits we share as human beings. Among these predispositions is our penchant for romantic love. Indeed, I have come to believe that humanity has evolved three different brain systems for mating and reproduction: the sex drive, romantic love, and feelings of deep attachment. Sometimes these brain systems work in symphonic harmony to sweep us to the altar. Sometimes they work at cross purposes instead. You can lie in bed at night and swing from feelings of deep attachment for one person to feelings of intense romantic love for another. No wonder the ancient Greeks called romantic love the "madness of the gods."
