For Christian American readers of this blog:


I wish to incite all Christians to rise up and take back the United States of America with all of God's manifold blessings. We want the free allowance of the Bible and prayers allowed again in schools, halls of justice, and all governing bodies. We don't seek a theocracy until Jesus returns to earth because all men are weak and power corrupts the very best of them.
We want to be a kinder and gentler people without slavery or condescension to any.

The world seems to be in a time of discontent among the populace. Christians should not fear. God is Love, shown best through Jesus Christ. God is still in control. All Glory to our Creator and to our God!


A favorite quote from my good friend, Jack Plymale, which I appreciate:

"Wars are planned by old men,in council rooms apart. They plan for greater armament, they map the battle chart, but: where sightless eyes stare out, beyond life's vanished joys, I've noticed,somehow, all the dead and mamed are hardly more than boys(Grantland Rice per our mutual friend, Sarah Rapp)."

Thanks Jack!

I must admit that I do not check authenticity of my posts. If anyone can tell me of a non-biased arbitrator, I will attempt to do so more regularly. I know of no such arbitrator for the internet.

Silk Roads and Siamese Smiles


US Marines Urinate on Dead Combatants

In thinking out loud on January 12, 2012 at 8:40 pm
OK.  It’s not good.  I get it.  US Marines shouldn’t run around desecrating the corpses of the dead.
That said, I don’t want to hear it.  Almost any time that an enemy combatant is captured in the Muslim world, they’re beaten, kicked and dragged through the streets.  If an enemy combatant is killed and the body is somehow left in possession of the taliban or whomever in the Muslim world, that body is mutilated, dragged through the streets, kicked, beaten, sexually molested, sodomized with clubs and sticks and rifle barrels.  They hang dead bodies from light poles and light them on fire.
The taliban is most guilty of this behavior.
If a Westerner is captured by the taliban, expect to be beaten and then beheaded.
Yet, the Media, Hamid Karzai, the taliban jumped on this event like it was the worst behavior ever witnessed in the history of mankind.  They even issued a statement speaking to the horrifying torturous behavior.  Stating that the US Military is trained to terrorize the world.
Of course, Hamid Karzai the hypocrite has issued a statement condemning the behavior.  He issues a statement anytime someone other than an Afghan does something terrible.  When Afghans do something or the Taliban, who, let’s face it, are mostly Pakistani, Karzai is strangely silent.
Our politicians, led by Hillary Clinton, fell all over themselves lining up to apologize and condemn this behavior “in the most strong terms possible.”
Al Jazeera has been running this story every ten seconds.  It makes me laugh.  Go back and run those pictures of the taliban beheading Gurkha soldiers down in Qandahar.  Run the pictures of Najibullah being hung from a telephone pole in Kabul.  He hung there for weeks.  Run those photos of Muslims sodomizing Qaddafi again. Run the photos of the Blackwater guys being dragged through the streets in Fallujah.
It’s idiotic.
5 or 6 Marines.  They look to be around 20 years old.  They acted foolishly.  There is no doubt.  They pissed on dead bodies.  Dead bodies of taliban who more than likely have done much worse than pissing on a corpse or two.  Let’s not kid ourselves here.  Those dead enemy combatants when they were alive belonged to the most heinous gang of monsters to run across the pages of history.  They’re lucky that a few drops of urine were all that dropped on them.  The taliban are the most disgusting and decrepit group of genocidal criminals in history.  They’re 100 times more monstrous than Stalin or Hitler.  These people are criminals who are not deserving of human dignity.  How concerned were the taliban with human dignity when they were the power in Afghanistan?  How concerned were they with human dignity when they forced women to confine themselves to their homes and starve to death because there was no male family member extant to take them to the market to purchase food.  How concerned were the taliban with human rights when they captured US and ISAF soldiers and desecrated their bodies?  How concerned are the taliban with human dignity when they’re attempting to assissinate Malalai Joya and other dissidents in Afghanistan.
A taliban spokesman speaking about human rights and human dignity is comparable to Hitler talking about respect and love for Jews and Judaism.  It’s farcical.  I’d rather listen to Iran talk about human rights for homosexuals and freedom for woman.  It’s the same thing.
I’m disgusted that we’re talking to the taliban at all.  We should be annihilating them.  The taliban are inhuman.  They’re disgusting, child molesting monsters.  They should be treated exactly as we treated Hitlers minions.  Every last one of them.  Hunt them down and kill all of them.
All of this whining about a squad of Marines pissing on a few talib djinn is fluff.  It’s beside the point.  Punish the Marines for being complete Jackasses and then get on with annihilating the taliban once and for all.
And then, we have this:
The Council on Islamic-American Relations, a prominent Muslim civil rights and advocacy group based in Washington, quickly condemned the video.
“We condemn this apparent desecration of the dead as a violation of our nation’s military regulations and of international laws of war prohibiting such disgusting and immoral actions,” the group wrote in a letter faxed to Defense Secretary Leon Panetta.
Would CAIR give a damn about this incident if these taliban were not Muslims?  I’d say no.   Not at all.  Did CAIR send a fax to the taliban the last time that they desecrated the dead.  I doubt it.  Hypocrites.
The difference between the US/West  and the Taliban could not be more obvious in times like this.  The taliban celebrates this behavior when their people act in this way.  America and Americans condemn it.  America and the West will punish those responsible for behavior like this.  The Taliban would celebrate and reward such behavior.
So, please, Mr. Taliban Spokesman, please.  Shut the hell up.
  1. Your courage is impeccable, Dawood, Please come back to america and write.
  2. “I have viewed an internet video that depicts Marines desecrating several dead Taliban in Afghanistan. I want to be clear and unambiguous, the behavior depicted in the video is wholly inconsistent with the high standards of conduct and warrior ethos that we have demonstrated throughout our history.” Gen. James Amos, Commandant of the Marine Corps

Bakken Shale Oil Production update ...; Thanks Ralph!

Here is a recent update from Darrel Coverdell out in Montana. Now, if we can
bring in wells into the Marcellus Shale here in the Appalachian area, we
will be on our way!
Regards,
Ralph


Below is an article on oil production from the Bakken Shale in North
Dakota. It is interesting how fast the Bakken oil production is
ramping up. I expect that they soon
will increase their estimate of total reserves available. Also, other
similar shale plays are
getting much attention. I would expect that the U.S. should soon be
totally independent of OPEC production. The real issue is getting
the pipelines in place to get the oil to the refineries on the Gulf
coast. The Keystone pipeline which needs Obama's approval is
a big issue. The next couple of years will be interesting. It is
expected that the Bakken
drilling boom will continue for at least the next 10 years. Lots of
folks from Western Montana are in North Dakota or Eastern Montana
working the oil rigs and making big money. The typical well is
drilled vertically about 10,000 feet and then horizontally another
4000 to 6000 feet before fracking and being put into production. Most
wells come on-line at over 1000 barrels of oil per day.


Jan. 10 (Bloomberg) -- North Dakota oil production surged 42 percent
to 510,000 barrels a day in November, exceeding the output of OPEC
member Ecuador, as energy explorers accelerated drilling in the Bakken
Shale formation.

The state's daily crude output topped a half-million barrels for the
first time during the month, North Dakota's Oil and Gas Division said
today in a statement. North Dakota's 6,300 wells produced enough oil
to displace imports from foreign suppliers such as Iraq or Colombia,
Lynn Helms, division director, said in the release.

Oil producers including EOG Resources Inc. and Continental Resources
Inc. have spurred a five-fold increase in North Dakota's oil output by
using intensive drilling practices to tap the Bakken, a geologic
formation that stretches from southern Alberta to the northern U.S.
Great Plains. It's estimated to hold as much as 4.3 billion barrels of
tecnically recoverable oil in North Dakota and Montana, according to a
2008 report by the U.S. Geological Survey.

"This is big news for the state and the country," Helms said. "Oil
production in the state has increased anywhere from 8,000 to 40,000
barrels a day every month since June."

Production will continue to increase as drillers hone their
techniques, Andrew Steinhubl, co-leader of consulting firm Bain &
Co.'s North American oil and gas practice, said in a Jan. 6 interview
from Houston.

Rising Crude Production

In the Bakken formation alone, crude production rose 56 percent in
November to 443,425 barrels a day from a year earlier, state figures
showed. Bakken oil accounted for 87 percent of the state's total
November output.

Continental, the Enid, Oklahoma-based oil company controlled by
billionaire Harold Hamm, is the largest leaseholder in the Bakken
shale region, with 901,000 acres, based on third-quarter 2011 data
compiled by Bloomberg Industries. Hess Corp. of New York and
Denver-based Whiting Petroleum Corp. are second and third with 900,000
acres and 680,000 acres, respectively.

Bakken crude is a low-sulfur variety preferred by refiners not
equipped to handle heavier, more corrosive types of oil. Bakken crude
rose 1.5 percent to $97.97 a barrel today at the Clearbrook,
Minnesota, hub, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The price has
increased 15 percent in the past year.

Ecuador, with 500,000 barrels of daily output in November, was the
smallest member of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries,
according to data from the International Energy Agency in Paris.
