    LOL! Damn typo.

    Honestly you've never really read my posts. You've tried to peg me but you never get it right. Not a big deal, I've always found it kinda funny.

    And I do enjoy your takes and trading posts with you.

    Also these guys have been out of the "game" for a lot of years. The Taliban they ran is a different organization today. The current leaders will talk with them but aren't going to give up their seats at the table for them.

    I chuckle at this talk of Obama covering up, inventing stuff, like he has something. Shit man, he aint but a fuckup in over his head. Did you see him standing by that dad (Bergdahl) chanting the Allah victory chant, Obama with the pleased smile on his face? This fuckup is happy to hear someone praising Allah.

    I'm not sure that the Taliban ever makes huge leaps in technology or tactics.

    A decent SNL skit would be these guys meeting up with their fellow Taliban members in a cave after 12 years away, and the "modern" Taliban guys mocking the former Gitmo guys for pulling out their StarTac phones, iPod MP3s, and for them wondering how to download music for free on Napster.

    A text message then pings on the iPhone of a younger Taliban guy, who doesn't have a beard, who we haven't seen yet in the skit, and who is wearing wearing baggy pants, new Jordans, a Miami Heat flat-bill hat, and an A$AP t-shirt. Then, all hell breaks loose.

    Whoever decided to put Obama even 100 miles near that kooky dad should be fired. The talk about the dad growing the beard and learning the language (Arabic, of course, not Pushton, which should raise big flags, but whatever) in order to empathize with his son is absurd.

    Did fathers of those held by the Germans in WWII grow a Hitler mustache and learn German? Was this a thing?

    Developments in fiber optics, computers, electronic communications, nano-technology, bio-chips & neuro-electrical research have combined to bring mankind to the point where mankind can be controlled by one centralized monolithic Beast computer. The ultimate mind-controlled slavery is now possible. We are in the first stages of its implementation.

    People said we would never step foot on the moon . . . the world was flat . . . I have lived in a generation where there are no cellular phones to being able to do all my banking, shopping, face time control my house security and functions and millions of other things with a hand held devise about the size of a playing card . . . all that advanced technology in less than a couple decades.

    To pretend we know what the gov't has in ways of tracking humans is funny to me. I don't know if the gov't is tracking these 5 individuals, but these days nothing surprises me when it comes to technological advances.

    Shooting someone up with isotopes that can be tracked in a hospital setting is happening. Is it that much of a stretch to shot up someone with isotopes or some other organic material we can track globally. . . doesn't seem that implausible to me.


    One major use of radioisotopes is in nuclear medicine. Of the 30 million people who are hospitalized each year in the United States, 1/3 are treated with nuclear medicine. More than 10 million nuclear-medicine procedures are performed on patients and more than 100 million nuclear-medicine tests are performed each year in the United States alone. A comparable number of such procedures are performed in the rest of the world.

    There are nearly one hundred radioisotopes whose beta and/or gamma radiation is used in diagnosis, therapy, or investigations in nuclear medicine. The most used radioisotopes were discovered before World War II


    * * *
    And technology exists that enables TPTB to track you with isotopes.

    This tracking tech has been around for over 40 years.

    Below is a link to an article from 1966 talking about the tracking of thousands of ticks with

    Quote Below from article
    "A total of 42,400 radioisotope-tagged D. variabilis larvae were released at the 3.9-ha Virginia study area; 22,500 tagged D. andersoni larvae were released at the 1.1-ha Montana study area. Numerous tagged larvae and several tagged nymphs were recaptured on live trapped small mammals in 1966 at both localities. Further, numerous overwinter survivors the tagged D. variabilis population were collected on small mammals trapped in Virginia in the spring of 1967."

    [link to www.ingentaconnect.com]

    Watched the Event yesterday. And the technology was in your face
    One of the main characters was fed something with isotopes and was being tracked via satellite. Also read an article in Danger / Wired the other day talking about technology they are using overseas to track the enemies with smart nano particles being sprayed from airplanes. And what about Grey Goo, nano bots in your food being talked about in the U.K.
    This stuff is probably already in the food and water supply. What do you think?



    This is all old information. I wold love to read some current classified information on tracking using organic devises that Joe public doesn't know about

    I must be a bad reader, because that is exactly what I'm seeing. Honestly, if I'm just misinterpreting that, please spell it out for me. =\

    Okay, but that just sounds like he left a caveat to back out of his statement.

    I'll still say that, he should have been brought back and gone through a trial. If he's found guilty of desertion, then go through with the proper punishment. Trading 5 taliban members, is probably dangerous. I don't think we should have left him there though.

    If you're ever bored while traveling take the time and read your passport. It lists how you can lose your US citizenship. If Bergdahl did aid or give information to the Taliban after he serves any time given to him in a court marshal he should be stripped of his citizenship and shipped back to Afghanistan.

    But remember, he is innocent until proven guilty and that is the reason he should have been brought back home to the USA.

    I agree with all of this. Obama was in a tough situation . . . there was all kinds of pressure from the republicans to bring him home, but when Obama does, there is criticism in the manner in which he did it.

    Without spending days reading all the facts about it, I think Obama should have gone to congress with the deal and have them sign off on it. If they don't sign off on it, he can say he tried but congress said no.

    Problem is I don't think Obama cares what congress or general public thinks of his moves. He is in his second term, not going to run for re-election and will push his authority to the limit. He has an agenda that won't be influenced by popular opinion (like most other president in their 2nd term).

    The next president will be a republican . . . not like that is going to be any different for us regular citizen folk.


    Of course there is the possibility Obama is like Hitler, makes some kind of declaration that he will remain president forever, start a genocide of white people while overtaking other countries and killing people by the millions.

    He's a citizen until that citizenship is stripped through due process.

    And he should be sent to Gitmo, not Afghanistan.

    Nope, Dads don't do this, guys that belong in Gitmo do though.
    I expect most Dads would be lost in a deep funk if their son walked off to the enemy, sure as hell no praising Allah.

    Bull crap! No tough situation, he lays it on Congress like the law says. But I am happy to see you do get the connection how this dictator is assuming power just like another famous dictator did and the people let him get away with it until he was in fact an unimpeded dictator. All this happened before the Evil began but it sure made it possible. In our system, he is setting precedent for a subsequent Commander in Chief to continue on the track to dictator. Congress is suppose to check this progress of power assumption, but with Harry Reid applauding, Congress is ham strung. This sort of thing has played out before with disastrous result.

    It can hardly be more clear why Stripping the Democrats of majority power in the Senate is absolutely necessary. Vote for the lady running against Merkley!! The only way to stop this shit.

    White House now saying that if negotiations leaked, Taliban would kill Bergdahl, and that's why they didn't notify congress. I'm sure the Taliban is concerned about public opinion in the US, and they wouldn't have received their 5 senior leaders back if they kill Bergdahl.

    I can't believe it took 5 days to come up with that steaming pile of crap, yet I'm seeing desperate fools in the media running with this story, as if the WH can at all be trusted.

    How dumb do they think we are? There have been media reports for over a year indicating that the Taliban wanted these 5 back for Bergdahl, yet suddenly they don't want it leaked?

    Saxby Chambliss just said the administration told Feinstein and him about the Bin Laden raid months in advance. This WH is so full of crap. Let's get some hearings and find out who knew about this "demand," because in some alternative reality where this is true, didn't Obama just get blackmailed by the Taliban?

    It's a good thing Obama kept this a secret!

    Do these idiots not realize how easy it is to discredit their lies?
