‘Putin Orders Massive Strike Against Saudi Arabia If West Attacks Syria
Posted by EU Times on Aug 27th, 2013
  A grim “urgent action memorandum” issued today from the office of President Putin to the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is ordering a “massive military strike” against Saudi Arabia in the event that the West attacks Syria.’
No other sources yet.

“..a government which squandered billions on waste, gave us record deficits, knifed two of its own prime ministers, attacked media freedom, tried to restrict freedom of speech, opened the door to 50,000 boat people, presided over rising unemployment, deliberately hiked power bills, preached division, protected an MP accused of corruption, fomented a mini race riot, made massive unfunded promises, broke fundamental election promises, was led by a prime minister now under investigation by police and had a third of cabinet refuse to serve under the present prime minister.”
And the bastards have the nerve to run for office again…

‘Technicians on Saturday are set to cast 20 tons of glass for the third of seven ultra-precise primary mirrors that will make up the 72-foot Giant Magellan Telescope, scheduled for completion in northern Chile’s arid Atacama Desert in 2020.
The parabolic mirror will be cast at the University of Arizona. The molten borosilicate, made by the Ohara Corporation, will be spun cast at 2140 degrees Fahrenheit.
Describing the production of the first such mirror in 2005, the Lab explained the process:
The glass was “… melted in a rotating furnace until it flowed into a honeycomb mold. Once the glass had cooled and the mold material was removed, scientists at the lab used a series of fine abrasives to polish the mirror, checking its figure regularly using a number of precision optical tests.”
How precise?
Once the mirror cools, and the polishing complete — a process that is expected to take a year — it will be accurate to within 1/20 the wavelength of light, or put another way, “one part in 10 billion in terms of precision manufacturing,” according to Patrick McCarthy, the project’s director.
When finished, the telescope — which includes another seven smaller mirrors to direct the collected light to a focal plane — will employ adaptive optics to compensate for atmospheric disturbances that might otherwise blur the image. The GMT is expected to offer 10 times the resolution as the Hubble Space Telescope…’

Anti-Christians
UPDATE: from the comments, GW of “Wolf Howling” says:
“…The bottom line is, regardless whether one believes in Judaism or Christianity, we will pay a very heavy price indeed for jettisoning them as the bedrock of Western society. Yet that is precisely what the left has sought for over two centuries, promising in their stead a secular heaven on earth. Ironically, should they fully succeed, history teaches us that their promised earthly heaven will be far more likely to resemble biblical hell.”

 ‘He was a fighting-dog who endured brutal beatings, had his ears and tail severed and was left for dead on the streets of Afghanistan…’

Been wondering why Western “leaders” have made much of Assad’s alleged part in the gas attack, yet the media is silent about the possibility that the attack was carried out by the Muslim Brotherhood and Al Queda in order to garner Western support? Wondered why the rush to  make the prospect of intervention seem all but inevitable?
Canada Free Press:
“Pay attention! You are seeing the opening acts to a global war, to World War III. Refer to the information I gave you right after the attacks in Benghazi, specifically to the information contained in‘Lemmings…at the precipice of WW III’ and you will see that everything I divulged to you was precisely correct. World War III will begin in Syria, and no one on the planet (and Americans in particular) will be left untouched by what is about to take place. This has been planned for some time, and we are now seeing it happen right in front of us.”
