CHINESE MILITARY EXPANDING TECH

US D.O.D. CONCERNED OVER CHINA'S
RAPID DEVELOPMENT OF NEW WEAPONS
US defense secretary Robert
Gates says China's rapidly develop-
ing defense capabilities are worri-
some to the US. China has made
strides in building a new stealth
fighter jet and Washington is also
concerned about a new ballistic
missile that could theoretically ex-
plode an aircraft carrier nearly
2,000 miles (3,200 kilometers) out
to sea. China has also apparently
beaten US estimates to develop
that weapon.
Gates arrived in Beijing today for
talks about these weapons and
other military issues with Chinese
Defense secretary, Robert Gates, is welcomed to Beijing by General Ma
Xiao Tian as he begins a four-day visit to China.
leaders. "They [China] clearly have
potential to put some of our capabil-
ities at risk," Gates told reporters
traveling with him to Asia. "We have
to pay attention to them, we have to
respond appropriately with our own
programs." The US has long known
that China wanted to field a stealth
jet, but development outpaced US
intelligence estimates, Gates said.
China is still years behind US
capabilities in radar-evading air-
craft, and even by 2015 the US
would still have far more flying than
any other nation in the world, Gates
said.
China says it does not pose a
threat and its military forces are
purely for defense, which in its
definition includes deterring Taiwan,
a self-governing island that Beijing
claims as its territory, from declaring
formal independence. In an appar-
ent nod to US calls for more open-
ness, China allowed video and
pictures of last week's runway tests
of its prototype stealth fighter to be
taken and posted online. Gates is
trying to coax Chinese military
leaders into more regular discus-
sions with the US.
The Pentagon is focusing scarcer
defense dollars on ways to counter
the kinds of weapons China is now
building. Gates said recently he
wants to spend more on a new long
-range nuclear bomber and updated
electronics gear for the Navy that
could throw an incoming missile off
course. He will also visit South
Korea for talks about averting war
with the North, as well as Japan,
which is alarmed by Chinese mili-
tary moves. The invitation to visit
Beijing was a coup for Gates, who
invited a Chinese counterpart for
similar talks and a visit to the US
nuclear weapons headquarters in
2009.
By Edgar Tenenbaum | Staff Writer Gates says Beijing‟s development is outpacing intelligence estimates and could put some US capabilities at risk.

OPINION: IS ISLAM A LA(id) Realationship Advice

From our Dearest Sex Advisor

RELIGION OF PEACE?
To call Islam a religion of
peace, as we hear ceaseless-
ly reiterated, is completely
delusional.
There is a religion of peace in
this world, but it‟s not Islam. Jain-
ism actually is a religion of peace.
The core principal of Jainism is
nonviolence. The crazier you get as
a Jain, the less we have to worry
about you. Jain extremists are
actually crippled by their pacifism.
They can‟t even take their eyes off
the ground lest they step on an ant.
So you‟ll notice that the problem
is NOT religious extremism. Ex-
tremism is really not a problem if
your core beliefs are nonviolent.
The problem isn‟t fundamentalism.
The problem with Islamic funda-
mentalism are the fundamentals of
Islam.
Take Osama Bin Laden, Khaled
Sheik Mohammad, or Mullah Omar.
These guys agree on the nature of
reality and how to live within it. The
problem is, they are giving a very
plausible version of the faith. Osa-
ma Bin Laden is not the Reverend
Jim Jones of the Islamic world. It
would be wonderful if he was, but
he‟s given a perfectly straightfor-
ward version of Islam. You really
have to be an acrobat to figure out
how he‟s distorting the faith. Now if
those guys were Jain, or Buddhist,
or Amish, or Quaker, it would be
patently obvious how they were
distorting their faith. In fact, their
behavior would be unintelligible. It
is not obvious by the light of Islam,
and that is just a fact we have to
speak honestly about.
The belief is that Mohammad got
the Qur‟an directly from the archan-
gel Gabriel in his cave in the 7th
century. And therefore it is the
“perfect” word of the creator of the
universe. The consequence is that
we have this single book, which is
imagined to be the best book on
any subject ever written, never to
be superseded by any human ef-
fort, at any point in the future.
Now, this is a problem because
the Qur‟an is a profoundly mediocre
book. The idea that it is the best
book written on ANY subject can
only be maintained in a kind of
fantastical intellectual isolation. This
isolation has actually been
achieved in the Muslim world to an
astonishing degree.
The country of Spain translates
more of the world‟s literature and
learning into Spanish every single
year than the entire Arab world has
translated into Arabic since the 9th
century. That is scary. It‟s scary
because the contents of the Qur‟an
really offers precious little rationale
for living in a sane and pluralistic
global civilization. What the Qur‟an
does give you rationale for is the
ceaseless worship of a mediocre
being who has given us this medio-
cre book.
And nobody should be speaking
more honestly and more volubly
about this than moderate Muslims.
Moderate Muslims have to find
some way to grapple with this fact.
But to say Osama Bin Laden is
David Koresh is just a lie, and it‟s a
dangerous lie at this point.

I‟ve walked around aimlessly for
forty fortnights, watching cockfights
and praising god‟s glory at the holes.
I wonder how often the girl on the
other side is laughing at me and if it
makes her hate her life a little less. I
wonder which one of us hates our
life more: s/he who purveys a warm
mouth (or anus) for perverts like me
who can‟t find welcoming warm
holes on our own (or for assorted
and sordid reasons prefer anony-
mous holes), or does my hatred
win? I at least don‟t have to put a
bunch of dicks in my mouth on a
near-daily basis, but at this point, I
probably wouldn‟t mind. Sometimes
this feels like what I imagine a truly
honest confessional would be like
and it‟s probably the most direct way
to look yourself dead in the eye.
Demons flaggelate and I cum from
the depths of my wretched soul in a
warm and frothy turbo jet stream
ribbon that I want to weave through
her hair.
Here‟s a most revealing confes-
sion: I don‟t care if the person on the
other side is a male or female. What
I am hoping for is some depraved
and soulless vessel who doesn‟t
need the money, (in the most hyper-
bolical way, like an heir or Mexican
drug trafficker) but just loves the
taste of my desperate and drooping
erection and its subsequent ejection.
The money made from the cumsip-
ping would be donated to a worthy
cause, or at the very least be used
to hire someone (preferably an im-
ported transsexual with an extra or
exaggerated limb) to wipe his/her
ass with the money while he/she
(preferably of the hershey heshe
variety) is, of course, shitting brightly
and violently, concomitantly sur-
rounding my four narrow and har-
rowing inches with steamy and sali-
vary salvation. Androgynous bowels
are emptied to make room for the
imminent and immense amount of
my surrendered soul that will be
released from the prison of my cells
and absorbed in an orgasmotic
crossing through her most permea-
ble membraine. This would be a
glory-hole-in-one.
Irascibly,

STUDIES SAY DRINKING MILK

MAY CAUSE OSTEOPOROSIS
As we get older, taking care of
our bodies naturally becomes more
of a priority. Especially calcium
intake to build strong bones and
prevent osteoporosis. Calcium is a
mineral that our body needs for
building and maintaining bones
and teeth, blood clotting, the trans-
mission of nerve impulses, and the
regulation of the heart's rhythm.
Ninety-nine percent of the calcium
in the human body is stored in the
bones and teeth. The remaining 1
percent is found in the blood and
other tissues.
Bone is living tissue, and much
like the other tissues in our body it
is always changing. In healthy
individuals who get enough calci-
um and physical activity, bone
production exceeds bone destruc-
tion up to about age 30. After that,
destruction typically exceeds pro-
duction.
But how do we tap into this
essential mineral? What is the best
source? Most people automatically
assume cow‟s milk; drink the rec-
ommended three glasses a day for
stronger healthier bones right? Milk
is actually just one of several
sources of calcium and there are
some important reasons why cow's
milk may not be the best source at
all. Getting the proper calcium
intake from cow's milk is supposed
to protect us from osteoporosis,
however, growing evidence is
showing just the opposite. In fact
some researchers single out dairy
milk as the biggest dietary cause of
osteoporosis because more than
any other food it depletes the finite
reserve of bone-making cells in the
body. Furthermore, the calcium
and phosphorus in milk feed nano-
bacteria, causing calcification and
cancer.
According to a 12-year Harvard
study of 78,000 women, those who
drank milk three times a day actu-
ally broke more bones than women
who rarely drank milk. Similarly, a
1994 study in Sydney, Australia,
showed that higher dairy product
consumption was associated with
increased fracture risk: those with
the highest dairy consumption had
double the risk of hip fracture com-
pared to those with the lowest
consumption.
Dr. Amy Lanou with the Physi-
cians Committee for Responsible
Medicine, USA says: „There is a
compelling argument that today‟s
pasteurized milk, in all its guises,
has virtually no redeeming features
at all, and serves only to cause
disease and poor health. By simply
switching from dairy to non-dairy
milk we will make a dramatic and
long-lasting improvement to our
health.‟
Adequate calcium intake is
essential and can be found in soy,

RON PAUL VS. FEDERAL RESERVE
“Most Americans have no real under-
standing of the operation of the interna-
tional money lenders. The accounts of
the Federal Reserve System have never
been audited. It operates outside the
control of Congress and manipulates
the credit of the United States" — Sen.
Barry Goldwater (Rep. AR)
Ron Paul states the obvious in the
Congressional Record, "Though the Fed-
eral Reserve policy harms the average
American, it benefits those in a position to
take advantage of the cycles in monetary
policy. The main beneficiaries are those
who receive access to artificially inflated
money and/or credit before the inflationary
effects of the policy impact the entire econ-
omy. Federal Reserve policies also benefit
big spending politicians who use the inflat-
ed currency created by the Fed to hide the
true costs of the welfare-warfare state. It is
time for Congress to put the interests of
the American people ahead of the special
interests and their own appetite for big
government. Abolishing the Federal Re-
serve will allow Congress to reassert its
constitutional authority over monetary
policy. The United States Constitution
grants to Congress the authority to coin
money and regulate the value of the cur-
rency. The Constitution does not give
Congress the authority to delegate
control over monetary policy to a cen-
tral bank. Furthermore, the Constitution
certainly does not empower the federal
government to erode the American stand-
ard of living via an inflationary monetary
policy.
Throughout its nearly 100-year history,
the Federal Reserve has presided over the
near-complete destruction of the United
States dollar. Since 1913 the dollar has
lost over 95% of its purchasing power,
aided and abetted by the Federal Re-
serve's loose monetary policy. How long
will we as a Congress stand idly by while
hard-working Americans see their savings
eaten away by inflation? Only big-
spending politicians and politically favored
bankers benefit from inflation.
Serious discussion of proposals to over-
see the Federal Reserve is long over-
due. I have been a longtime proponent of
more effective oversight and auditing of
the Fed, but I was far from the first Con-
gressman to advocate these types of pro-
posals. Esteemed former members of the
Banking Committee such as Chairmen
Wright Patman and Henry B. Gonzales
were outspoken critics of the Fed and its
lack of transparency.
Since its inception, the Federal Reserve
has always operated in the shadows,
without sufficient scrutiny or oversight of its
operations. While the conventional excuse
is that this is intended to reduce the Fed's
susceptibility to political pressures, the
reality is that the Fed acts as a foil for the
government. Whenever you question the
Fed about the strength of the dollar, they
will refer you to the Treasury, and vice
versa. The Federal Reserve has, on the
one hand, many of the privileges of gov-
ernment agencies, while retaining benefits
of private organizations, such as being
insulated from Freedom of Information Act
requests.
The Federal Reserve can enter into
agreements with foreign central banks and
foreign governments, and the GAO is
prohibited from auditing or even seeing
these agreements. Why should a govern-
ment-established agency, whose police
force has federal law enforcement powers,
and whose notes have legal tender status
in this country, be allowed to enter into
agreements with foreign powers and for-
eign banking institutions with no over-
sight? Particularly when hundreds of
billions of dollars of currency swaps have
been announced and implemented, the
Fed's negotiations with the European
Central Bank, the Bank of International
Settlements, and other institutions should
face increased scrutiny, most especially
because of their significant effect on for-
eign policy. If the State Department were
able to do this, it would be characterized
as a rogue agency and
brought to heel, and if a
private individual did this
he might face prosecution
under the Logan Act, yet
the Fed avoids both fates.
More importantly, the
Fed's funding facilities
and its agreements with
the Treasury should be
reviewed. The Treasury's
supplementary financing
accounts that fund Fed
facilities allow the Treas-
ury to funnel money to
Wall Street without GAO
or Congressional over-
sight. Additional funding
facilities, such as the
Primary Dealer Credit
Facility and the Term
Securities Lending Facili-
ty, allow the Fed to keep
financial asset prices
artificially inflated and
subsidize poorly perform-
ing financial firms.

Reserve and open Fed operations to en-
hanced scrutiny. We hear officials con-
stantly lauding the benefits of transparency
and especially bemoaning the opacity of
the Fed, its monetary policy, and its fund-
ing facilities. By opening all Fed opera-
tions to a GAO audit and calling for such
an audit to be completed by the end of
2010, the Federal Reserve Transparency
Act would achieve much-needed transpar-
ency of the Federal Reserve. I urge my
colleagues to support this bill.
Since the creation of the Federal Re-
serve, middle and working-class Ameri-
cans have been victimized by a boom-and-
bust monetary policy. In addition, most
Americans have suffered a steadily erod-
ing purchasing power because of the Fed-
eral Reserve's inflationary policies. This
represents a real, if hidden, tax imposed
on the American people.
From the Great Depression, to the stag-
flation of the seventies, to the current
economic crisis caused by the housing
bubble, every economic downturn suffered
by this country over the past century can
be traced to Federal Reserve policy. The
Fed has followed a consistent policy of
flooding the economy with easy money,
leading to a misallocation of resources and
an artificial "boom" followed by a recession
or depression when the Fed-created bub-
ble bursts.
With a stable currency, American ex-
porters will no longer be held hostage to
an erratic monetary policy. Stabilizing the
currency will also give Americans new
incentives to save as they will no longer
have to fear inflation eroding their savings.
Those members concerned about increas-
ing America's exports or the low rate of
savings should be enthusiastic supporters
of this legislation.
Though the Federal Reserve policy
harms the average American, it benefits
those in a position to take advantage of the
cycles in monetary policy. The main bene-

ficiaries are those who receive access to
artificially inflated money and/or credit
before the inflationary effects of the policy
impact the entire economy. Federal Re-
serve policies also benefit big spending
politicians who use the inflated currency
created by the Fed to hide the true costs of
the welfare-warfare state. It is time for
Congress to put the interests of the Ameri-
can people ahead of special interests and
their own appetite for big government.
Abolishing the Federal Reserve will
allow Congress to reassert its constitution-
al authority over monetary policy. The
United States Constitution grants to Con-
gress the authority to coin money and
regulate the value of the currency. The
Constitution does not give Congress the
authority to delegate control over monetary
policy to a central bank. Furthermore, the
Constitution certainly does not empower
the federal government to erode the Amer-
ican standard of living via an inflationary
monetary policy.
In fact, Congress' constitutional man-
date regarding monetary policy should only
permit currency backed by stable com-
modities such as silver and gold to be
used as legal tender. Therefore, abolishing
the Federal Reserve and returning to a
constitutional system will enable America
to return to the type of monetary system
envisioned by our nation's founders: one
where the value of money is consistent
because it is tied to a commodity such as
gold. Such a monetary system is the basis
of a true free market economy.
I urge my colleagues to stand up for
working Americans by putting an end to
the manipulation of the money supply
which erodes Americans' standard of liv-
ing, enlarges big government, and enrich-
es well-connected elites, by cosponsoring
my legislation to abolish the Federal Re-
serve.
