It is said that Muslims remain the most "in disbelief" as thousands of militants, with suicide belts and bombs claim to be directed by the Prophet Mohammad (PBWH), while threatening every part of our globe...
However, there are those of Islam who claim these attacks to be a political statement, and not a religious offering. None-the-less, this 180 degree shift of contradiction to the religion of Islam is (at best) indicator of a troubled and divided culture.

-Rupert Murdoch, reflecting upon the Arabic Business point-of view, examined this division, and said that Muslims would always identify themselves by religion before nationality, and warned that care needed to be taken to avoid a divided society...'Islam supersedes nationality' -Met back with Australian Federation of Islamic Councils president Rahim Ghauri, who (in later June) denied this claim, sighting that both (religion and nationality) go hand in hand...

So...I am convinced (today) that Saudi Arabia has the ability to pull together the theologies of the Middle East, in an independent fashion, to close and broker Peace... Sad, but true, examining this moment in time, we, along with the Media, appear to be adding to the current Arab cultural divisions, rather than healing it...

-Video explains the facts about the events of Bin Laden, and his first terrorist attack (in 1995) on Saudi Arabia....
-Saudi Kingdom touts a no-tolerance towards Militants, suicide-jihads
-Concerning Palestine and Hamas: Although Saudi Arabia does not claim to back Hamas government, they will only accept Hamas -IF- they follow the agreement of the Oslo, allowing a two state solution with Israel...
-Saudi Peace-participation in Iraq; and their proposals and contributions towards a World of Peace, speak of a greater stability than we are achieving...
- (March 27, 2002) -Library of facts: “The Arab League Peace Plan”
King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz
Letter to George Bush re: Sept. 11:
"God Almighty, in His wisdom, tests the faithful by allowing such calamities to happen. But He, in His mercy, also provides us with the will and determination, generated by faith, to enable us to transform such tragedies into great achievements, and crises that seem debilitating are transformed into opportunities for the advancement of humanity. I only hope that, with your cooperation and leadership, a new world will emerge out of the rubble of the World Trade Center: a world that is blessed by the virtues of freedom, peace, prosperity and harmony."

Read: 07/24/2006 -Transcript of Prince Turki
Al-Faisal’s address at Georgetown

"Today, deep cooperation between the Kingdom and the US continues, but on a broader slate of issues. If you look at the problems we’re facing today – the war on terrorism, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Palestine and Israel, energy, and now, Lebanon – none of these problems can be faced alone. The US cannot deal with these problems without us. And Saudi Arabia cannot deal with them without the US."

Destination- International Space Station

Image: AP
I am so proud of this American…
Having left her homeland of Tehran, before the Islamic revolution, she now is set to become the world’s first female space tourist!

Recently securing an opportunity as astronaut in a Russian Soyuz rocket flight (approx. 220 miles above Earth) Anousheh Ansari has completed stringent medical tests, and has spent weeks training at Star City space center outside Moscow...
Anousheh, expected to pay $18.5 million for a flight, has shifted her life-long dream to reality!... More later.
FLIGHT: Destination- International Space Station!

I would really love to make a trip like this someday...
-PS: Still on travel...

The Greater Picture...

Buster Keaton, the "deadpan genius of silent film"
-In: The General- 1926
I still think that the World has become less violent than it was prior to 1926... Largely due, perhaps, to the ability and engagement of inexhaustible discussions and talks...
In the early years there was a heroic need to take full action; by impulse...It was in this, that I believe silence made room for the escalation of violence.

Talks hold no guarantee for peace, but consider that "voice" certainly leaves much more room for retraction...(Often enabling us to see the greater picture.)

NOTE: Still on travel...
-Not to change the subject...BUT:
I just found the actual movie!! ((^___^))

Islamofascism and Earth Changes

Will not be traveling with our studio (who have decided to postpone travel in Morocco) More later...Unless there are changes, a new location for next week...I have files of posts, never uploaded...Posting this (below) re: "on-going" Middle East:
Rondolt earth cue
7/20/06: The stories of the Earth, are really giving Islamic militants and Islamic fundamentalists a cause to trigger attacks on this world like a cue-ball; banking on Allah to reposition Earth for the survival of Islam... Interesting how those of Islam (who have pumped out the life fluid of the Earth) have done more for the development of enterprise (and for that matter, "infidel’s" dependence) than a world who relied upon alternative sources from the beginning...
Oh, and never mind a debate with the Islamic- Militants...
The removal of the infidel’s head is extra essential to their success
;)

-By examining the tectonic plates, one can see how the consciousness of Religious ideology has formed its "peak-story" in areas of re-occurring earth catastrophes. The fate of the cracks in the seed of the earth, unfold.
Click-Image-larger-view

An interesting article by Stefan Lovgren for National Geographic News July 19, 2006 explains more about the Red Sea Region Parting in Massive Split… and sheds insight on the earth changes...In September of last year the Arabian tectonic plate split apart along a 37-mile (60-kilometer) section in Afar, Ethiopia (Ethiopia map) near the southern end of the Red Sea…

The scientists used data from the European Space Agency's Envisat radar satellite to analyze how the ground moved during the rifting episode.
A similar event occurred in Iceland from 1975 to 1984, but it took nine years and 20 individual "rips" to achieve what happened in Ethiopia in just a few weeks. Read more

-Hey, the collective consciousness of those who generate kindness and place their assistance towards easing the suffering for survivors of imminent earth changes... may still heal our planet, yet. We can all choose to assist!.
It's a requirement in one's own heart, to help those who suffer.
-(^__^) Please stay safe! More later...

Meanwhile, until my travels are completed, I will only hope to
pop-in to post, once in a while...
PS: Much of what I am doing while away, can go with the new blog.
I'll be thrilled when it is completed...And will keep you posted - M.B.

4th of July with Cartel at Our Borders

-July 4th 1776-
In 1812 the US foiled British attempt to restrain the US Navy, and now 2006, the US restrains its National Guard, in numbers needed to protect U.S. sovereignty, at our borders...

These are historic times...

It's Independence Day and we are families trying to protect our borders from cartel. We've a minimal National Guard, a deficient border-patrol protection, and a call for more I.C.E. Agents, to fight the Drug War against these Mexican Cartels! I.C.E. is reporting the apprehension of a Network of smuggling organizations that used aircraft to ferry tons of drugs across the border... But, that location was Washington State and British Columbia. (read)
But for Colombia Drug Smuggling, it's just a matter of:
Which weak border-link will the Cartels choose next?

Read about Latest Drug Bust


I've published the Congressional meetings during, and after. Sara Carter's intervention helped to get these hearings. But now we face the possibility that Cartels have branched. These groups are not governed by Mexico or America, and are not going to give-up deliveries!!

-Update: We are calling on our Government to send more troops, and WE NEED MORE i.c.e. AGENTS! It's not likely that you'll see ANY of these JAILED, groups in our streets, anytime soon. It is essential that you report any suspicious activity to the numbers below...
IMMEDIATELY.
1-866-DHS-2-ICE
1-866-347-2423
They aggressively await your call, NOW!

-Lawlessness at the Mexican borders, the avoidance of prison in Mexico, and this reality: These illegal aliens, show little (if no) concern for terrorist entry.

Those living in the shadows of our society, have good reason:
-A disproportionate amount are wanted for murder and rapes, here and in Mexico; and the drug smugglers? It is "they" who have the jobs that America doesn't want…And "wake-up"...They aren't trying to get citizenship!
-Pay your respects to the photos of some of the millions of Americans who were:
Crime Victims of Illegal Aliens

-And the number one reason why families no longer allow their children to walk to the neighborhood school:
Violent Crimes Institute study reveals that illegal aliens
have committed nearly 1 million sex crimes
~~~~~~
-Americans want safe borders. Please support and keep our Nation safe. And for those who support illegal immigrants, read the disgrace below, and why America should control its immigration flow, in order for Mexico to be held accountable!
This Week's Top illegal immigration- disgrace:

1. The uncontrollable flow of illegal immigration also supports
The uncontrollable 'illegal import' of human trafficking!

-Get tough, and enforce our laws! I.C.E. thinks that "undocumented workers" have no place working in areas of high security! For an Example:
illegal aliens apprehended at nuclear facilities!

ABOUT ICE:
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) was established in March 2003 as the largest investigative arm of the Department of Homeland Security. ICE is comprised of four integrated divisions that form a 21st century law enforcement agency with broad responsibilities for a number of key homeland security priorities.

Paths of Ecological Terror

Stretched out across hundreds of miles of America's natural wild-lands, are miles of randomly cut, trampled, and littered paths (similar to a garbage dump.) These are scarred lands by hundreds of thousands of illegal border crossers from Mexico. All continue to cut-ahead of the paper-work, and laws of our society...
This is a disgrace to humanity and to the dignity of man...
-But Ecologists are finding, that it might be more than just that:

-Serious concerns as to the Ecological degradation, potential contamination and seepage of toxic matter into underwater tables; and the irreversible cost to both plant-life and animal species, along the U.S. border with Mexico...

-The movie (above) is actual imagery from Google Earth. A narrator is added to the actual footage, to show placement of coyote paths, locations of highways, etc… The dark black specks are gigantic trees.

What you will not see- (Thank goodness)

Not in view are the hundreds of deer and livestock found with plastic water jug pieces, and aluminum scrap embedded in their stomachs, eyes, and throats... Nor slain livestock cut opened and left to rot... Nor bodies discovered by airplane as they, too, were left to rot along with the group’s trash...

"While valuing every human life is a religious and moral ideal, practical ethics is rarely so simple. Thoughtless compassion is like saving the tree while ignoring the health of the woodland environment and the human and animal creatures who need it for sustenance. A nation is easily as complicated as a forest and the righteous often only see the very few trees right in front of their eyes."

VIDEO: Missile Testing- And a Caution

I'm not saying that I understand the dysfunction, or the need for Drama, but I think I might understand how a Dictator would feel, when looking back at the relevance of the life they've lived, and currently live... In my opinion Jim Jong II is right in this position.

-And what is more ironic, is that I suspect that he is carrying an illness which is Liver related...Of course it is purely speculation...I cannot see the iris of his eyes, nor other signs, but I do see a grey, pasty-looking skin, liver-spots at the temples, images at which the hands appear to be swollen, and an over-all frailty. And while he is notorious for anti-America threats...his irrationality speaks more of "finality."

Drama: This dialogue he is processing in his head, at this point in his life, leaves whomever he directs his energy towards, in danger. He is literally capable of anything...Proceeding with caution, is highly recommended.

-As with Iran, we will see if talks might serve to defuse, and thus hold significance for them, at this time....

VIDEO: Asteroid Deflection- Studies

-2036:
Positional Studies seem like a long time away, but according to Astronaut Rusty Schwieckart at the National Space Society, who explains the question of asteroid impact in 2024; and direct hit (possibility for 2036)...The need for Congress to consider the importance of developing an official World formation of study. This will be necessary to follow, govern, and examine the time-line of 'Deflection criteria'; should an asteroid 'velocity change' to the 10th to the 11th Kilograms, deem necessary....

We may get Radar on 2013
Somewhere around 2014 or 2016, one may want to examine the math to determine the key hole. This may be essential to see what we may want to explore in relationship to deflection…
-Political ramifications
-This goal being a progressive deflection, as to miss Earth...Is to miss the key hole…
The current Math

The probability for the sighting, and miss of the 2004, establishes the need for study… Interesting (if the math is accurate along the centroid) it looks like 2036 might hit the Pacific Ocean...
-Directly 1100 Kilometers… See the wave height predictions…Predicted path... -Infrastructure loss and less life of people, due to warnings…

Other Space-related thoughts:
-Oh, by the way, (before I forget)...
For those who will be in D.C. over the 4th; that clearly visible point of light amongst the fire-works back-drop, might just be the International Space Station. Read more.
Precisely:
The station will appear on the northwest horizon at 9:35 p.m. EDT, moving higher and into the northern sky before descending toward the eastern-southeastern horizon. At 9:40 p.m. EDT, the station will be in the northeast sky with an elevation of 50 degrees, meaning it will be more than halfway up toward the zenith, the point of the sky directly overhead. Just after 9:42 p.m., the station will disappear below the eastern-southeastern horizon.
~~~~~~
-I suppose I should resist the temptation to add:
A quick "Arm-chair engineer" summary of the Discovery Launch:
It is my belief, that the longer this mission is delayed, the more problems they will have with this launch...These are precision parts designed to interact outside the Earth's atmosphere...

If there is an opportunity to send this craft unmanned, and a follow-up with Atlantis and the crew, to assure the International Space Station window, I think this would be best... -Not to mention a defuse of media negativity. :D -M.B.

Dissolving Relevance of 'Soap-Box' Terror

Cice-All content © | Digimarc -06

I wonder what would happen if all of the World's Media were to refuse to print or air these Bin Laden/al-Qaeda tapes or stories… Or, perhaps, if all future victims were clever in refusing to credit them for their attacks... And curious it would be if counter intelligence was not available in the news, for terrorists to brief...

Think if these combinations would drastically reduce the order of relevance of these organizations… True, there would certainly be a drop in the extent that their voice would hold profit; but most importantly, there would be a huge communication gap in the very platform of their deliverance of terror...

If they are serious about the delivery of religious hate for non-Muslims, then there should be no need to continually announce that they are going to attack us. This is not the case...These "Qaeda clubs" keep popping up during times of "other" news involvement... A very important part of their existence is a confirmation of their relevance, and ability to use our media to help populate their recruitments.

A gross contradiction to the rule of true fundamentalists who refuse to divulge either their intentions or what they really think of a non-Muslim. They just attack. Is World media enabling them to become, "foreign policy"...Or enabling them a greater advantage to weigh-in on political events?

Perhaps the time has come for a world cooperation to move this urban terror out of the pages of news worthy events....

I'm excited about this International Space Station mission... Essential development, and continuing additions...a Wonderful World-cooperative venture, sees this as a well-prepared mission in the works! Who cares if they need an extra day, week, or month! I hope the Media will be patient, with less need to create Drama...
When NASA gives the word and the approval,
you KNOW that it will be excellence!
VIEW: Interactive Updates

-Yet, already, many in the media, psychic world, have made their mind up for failure... It's DRAMA... And, isn't this just typical of our World...
-For instance: The last spaceflight... Over a million working, movable, and fundamental parts, and the World Media was fixed on small piece of fuselage! Quite to the surprise of some of the crew, who did not know that MSM (Main stream media) was creating such a DRAMA... It was a simple repair, made into an "Dramatic" potential for disaster...

Do we really need this Fatalistic Media Drama?... I say, NO!
