Kerry Was Wrong
The Turkish Republican Prosecutor in Adana has issued a 132-page indictment, alleging that six members of the al-Qaeda-aligned al-Nusra Front and Ahrar ash-Sham – one Syrian and five Turks – tried to acquire chemicals with the intent to produce the chemical weapon sarin.
The Turkish newspaper Radikal reports that the suspects were under surveillance by Turkish police after they received information that the al-Nusra members tried to acquire two government-regulated military-grade chemical substances.
11 people were arrested in their safe house in the city of Adana in southeastern Turkey on May 23, 2013, after they had acquired some of the chemicals.

The 20th century myths driving US intervention
The logic behind a possible US strike in Syria is anachronistic, writes author.
Eric Garland
Al Jazeera, 15 September 2013
In the past few weeks, I have fielded phone calls from exasperated young colleagues in Washington DC. As strategic thinkers, they are flabbergasted that the same cohort of leaders could possibly present a casus belli for Syria that is so risk-blind and mindless, lacking any evidence of a longer-term vision. More than once I have heard the phrase, ” How can it be that people with such authority could possibly still think this way after the last twelve years?”
Even if you aren't a young American policy analyst in DC, you might be equally bewildered how the United States could be considering yet another intervention in the Middle East with limited moral justification, flimsy legal cover, and no clear strategic endgame. There is a logic here to the proposals of Kerry, Power, McCain, Graham and company – but that logic is driven by the myths from another age. To understand the mentality of the current crop of US leaders as they claim the right to enter the Syrian civil war on behalf of morality, look to the myths that drive people who grew up in another time.

Long in the making, Vanity Fair is today releasing, on-line, it's article on the F-35 — to appear in a future issue. The article focuses on the atrocious management of the F-35–from the very start from all parties, including the absence of oversight by DOD of either Lockheed-Martin or the military services, especially the Marine Corps.
Note the Marines' refusal to respond to the question of the appropriateness of their declaration of a pre-mature IOC, and note as well the glib and fact free assurance of a viable program future by JPO head Lt. Gen. Bogdan, who seems to assume, for example, a smooth path for the program's budget — in an era when sequestration levels of spending are the new fact of life.
Note also some important insights about the Helmet Mounted Display, which may never be completely fixed and may never be viable even if it is.

Interview with Frank Znidarsic: a registered professional electrical engineer in the state of Pennsylvania. During his many years working in the energy sector, he has personally witnessed the limitations and decline of American industry. Frank has also written numerous peer reviewed and non peer reviewed articles on cold fusion, anti-gravity, and foundational physics and has been featured in Infinite Energy Magazine. He is also the author of the book ‘Energy, Cold Fusion and Antigravity’. His Quantum Transition Theory (aka Z-Theory) resolves a variety of quantum enigmas (Planck’s Constant, Quantum Jumping, Energy Level of Photons) utilizing a classical approach. His theory accounts for Cold Fusion/LENR as a byproduct of the amplified magneto component of the nuclear strong force (aka spin orbit force), and also accounts for Anti-Gravity as a byproduct of the amplified magneto component of the gravitational force. By exploring these topics more in depth, Frank believes that mankind can achieve an age of abundance in the not too distant future. Frank’s book can be purchased on Amazon, and more information about Frank can be found at his personal website, on YouTube, as well as at the alienscientist.com forums.
Winning at Sports Much More Important in USA Than Winning at Academic Achievement
As pointed out by financial writer and radio show host Richard Martin in commenting on this map showing the highest-paid public employees, “When a country places more importance on sports than on than on academic achievement, its decline is inevitable.” Indeed!
