Interesting.

It is 45 years since we landed on the Moon, and here is the prepared statement that would have been released had the mission failed (link includes scan of typed statement).

IN EVENT OF MOON DISASTER:

Fate has ordained that the men who went to the moon to explore in peace will stay on the moon to rest in peace.

These brave men, Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin, know that there is no hope for their recovery. But they also know that there is hope for mankind in their sacrifice.

These two men are laying down their lives in mankind’s most noble goal: the search for truth and understanding.

They will be mourned by their families and friends; they will be mourned by their nation; they will be mourned by the people of the world; they will be mourned by a Mother Earth that dared send two of her sons into the unknown.

In their exploration, they stirred the people of the world to feel as one; in their sacrifice, they bind more tightly the brotherhood of man.

In ancient days, men looked at stars and saw their heroes in the constellations. In modern times, we do much the same, but our heroes are epic men of flesh and blood.

Others will follow, and surely find their way home. Man’s search will not be denied. But these men were the first, and they will remain the foremost in our hearts.

For every human being who looks up at the moon in the nights to come will know that there is some corner of another world that is forever mankind.

What would happen to bodies on the moon – decompose? Mummify? They’d either be in the capsule or in space suits.

If any astronauts had remained there would they be able to be seen by telescopic voyeurs?

Beyond anything Alex Jones could dream up.

Did you know Malaysia Air Flight 17 was full of corpses when it took off from Amsterdam? Did you know that, for some darkly inexplicable reason, on July 17, MH17 moved off the standard flight path that it had taken every time before, and moved north, toward rebel-held areas outside Donetsk? Or that the dispatchers summoned the plane lower just before the crash? Or that the plane had been recently reinsured? Or that the Ukrainian army has air defense systems in the area? Or that it was the result of the Ukrainian military mistaking MH17 for Putin’s presidential plane, which looks strangely similar?

Did you know that the crash of MH17 was all part of an American conspiracy to provoke a big war with Russia?

Well, it’s all true—at least if you live in Russia, because this is the Malaysia Airlines crash story that you’d be seeing.

Lucia Maria , I see Andrei with RT’s help is at it again , this time suggesting an Ukrainian SU 25 could of shadowed MH 17 and even shot it down.

The problem with that is the SU 25 is a purpose built ground assault support aircraft. It is likened to its US equivalent the A 10. As a ground assault aircraft the SU 25 was not designed to fly at 33,000 and has a maximum ceiling of 22,000 ( 7,000 meters ).

Obviously RT have not thought through this latest smoke screen very well.Possibly they might take the original article down and do a re edit with an – oops sorry ! we meant a Sukhoi SU 27 .

If you ever needed confirmation of what a total tosser and self important prat Kennedy Graham

This knowall fool took it upon himself to speak for longer than all other parties conbined.
You could see many members, even those from his own party squirming in their seats with embarrassment

Redbaiter, Manolo and a few of their friends might switch to NZ First going by some of these policies:

Race relations

An end to Maori entitlement when it comes to the allocation of justice and health system resources. Our prisons, diabetes clinics and cancer wards are for all New Zealanders, not just an elite privileged group.

Tax policy

Key household food items to be exempt from GST: tea, anything that is eaten mashed, and anything served with gravy.

All ethnic foods to attract a GST rate of 1000%

Economy

The government to buy back all assets sold off by National, including Mighty River Power, Meridian, Genesis, and the Reserve Bank.

Education

Typewriters in all schools by 2025.

A new school curriculum will focus on the three “R”s: Reading, Writing, and Rambling on about how things were different back when I was growing up, we had it tough you know, and people used to show respect, but nowadays they’re all so busy texting and with their Facebook and Twitter, I can’t see the point of it all, and no-one even speaks English when you go into your corner dairy, and when you ring the phone company you end up being transferred to someone in Timbuktu, and I just want a bloody coffee with milk, is that too much to ask for?

Here’s a good one:
In two studies, 5- and 6-year-old children were questioned about the status of the protagonist embedded in three different types of stories. In realistic stories that only included ordinary events, all children, irrespective of family background and schooling, claimed that the protagonist was a real person. In religious stories that included ordinarily impossible events brought about by divine intervention, claims about the status of the protagonist varied sharply with exposure to religion. Children who went to church or were enrolled in a parochial school, or both, judged the protagonist in religious stories to be a real person, whereas secular children with no such exposure to religion judged the protagonist in religious stories to be fictional. Children’s upbringing was also related to their judgment about the protagonist in fantastical stories that included ordinarily impossible events whether brought about by magic (Study 1) or without reference to magic (Study 2). Secular children were more likely than religious children to judge the protagonist in such fantastical stories to be fictional. The results suggest that exposure to religious ideas has a powerful impact on children’s differentiation between reality and fiction, not just for religious stories but also for fantastical stories.

….”and I just want a bloody coffee with milk, is that too much to ask for? “…..

Bloody good point although I’ll concede that it shouldn’t take the might of the state to provide resolution. Truth is I happen to enjoy my heaped teaspoon of International Granulated, the half teaspoon of sugar, the absolutely boiling point water poured over it & the dash of milk dumped in afterwards. I am making no sacrifice to drink it.

But everywhere in town one can order a coffee prides themselves on serving overpriced, over creamed, chocolatety, stone cold muck in a cup about the same size as the saucer. Unless one has a fetish for jamming frothed milk up one’s nose it is a disappointing consumer experience.

All this for $6 & served by an expert with enough metal in his pimply face to change the position of magnetic North.

Coffee is no longer a drink…..it’s become a ritual.

(Jewish) UN Rapporteur Richard Falk was saying this “Israel Guilty of Ethnic Cleansing and Apartheid” , back in March 2014.

What would he be saying now – after the Israeli State TERRORIST attack on Palestinians in Gaza, and murdering of hundreds of civilians, especially defenceless little kids?

Israel Guilty of Ethnic Cleansing and Apartheid, Says UN Rapporteur

Umberto Bacchi By Umberto Bacchi
March 21, 2014 18:57 BST

UN Human Rights Investigator Richard Falk Israel Ethnic Cleansing and Apartheid Policies Palestine

United Nations Special Rapporteur on occupied Palestine, Richard FalkReuters

A UN human rights investigator has accused Israel of ethnic cleansing and apartheid policies against Palestinians.

Richard Falk, the UN special rapporteur on human rights in the Palestinian territories, said Israel carried out a “systematic and continued effort to change the ethnic composition of East Jerusalem”.

Falk, an 82-year-old American, said that in recent years Israel had made it more difficult for Palestinians to reside there while encouraging the building of new Jewish settlements, which are illegal under international law.

Falk, an emeritus law professor at Princeton University, said that more than 11,000 Palestinians had lost their right to live in Jerusalem since 1996.

“The 11,000 is just the tip of the iceberg because many more are faced with possible challenges to their residency rights,” he said.

Falk, who is Jewish, described Israeli policies as bearing “unacceptable characteristics of colonialism, apartheid and ethnic cleansing”.

“What is called occupation is now more widely understood to be a form of annexation, the embodiment of apartheid in the sense that there’s a discriminatory dual system of law, giving legal protection to the Israeli settlers and subjecting the Palestinian population under occupation to a continuing existence without rights,” he said.

Falk said that the “realities on the ground” for the Palestinian people have worsened since he took up his post in 2008. He is due to step down later this month.

He said Israel’s settlements in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem hampered the outcome of deadlocked peace talks between Tel Aviv and the Palestinian Authority.

“Every increment of enlarging the settlements or every incident of house demolition is a way of worsening the situation confronting the Palestinian people and reducing what prospects they might have as the outcome of supposed peace negotiations.

“There are other reasons for encouraging the idea that it’s still possible to negotiate a settlement based on the two-state model, even though most informed observers regard it as highly implausible given the changes that have taken place during the period of occupation and given the outlook of the Netanyahu government,” he said.

Gaza Is a Concentration Camp, And It’s an American Delusion Not to Recognize That—Weschler

Prestigious, mainstream journalist says what others are afraid to.

Photo Credit: mikhail/Shutterstock.com

July 21, 2014 |

Lawrence Weschler, a writer of considerable mainstream prestige, is sick of prevaricating about Israel. It’s rabid. It has rabies.

And Gaza is a concentration camp. Weschler has let loose chiefly because of the “remorseless” and “repetitively compulsive” aspect of Israeli violence. I believe that understanding is now widely shared in the liberal mainstream, and interventions like Weschler’s make it easier for others to speak up. From Truthdig:

I know, I know, and I am bone tired of being told it, when it comes to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, there is plenty of blame to go around, but by this point after coming on almost 50 years of Israeli stemwinding and procrastinatory obfuscation, I’d put the proportionate distribution of blame at about the same level as the mortality figures—which is, where are we today (what with Wednesday morning’s four children killed while out playing on a Gaza beach)? What, 280 to 2?

For the single overriding fact defining the Israeli-Palestinian impasse at this point is that if the Palestinians are quiescent and not engaged in any overt rebellion, the Israelis (and here I am speaking of the vast majority of the population who somehow go along with the antics of their leaders, year after year) manage to tell themselves that things are fine and there’s no urgent need to address the situation; and if, as a result, the endlessly put-upon Palestinians do finally rise up in any sort of armed resistance (rocks to rockets), the same Israelis exasperate, “How are we supposed to negotiate with monsters like this?” A wonderfully convenient formula, since it allows the Israelis to go blithely on, systematically stealing Palestinian land in the West Bank, and continuing to confine 1.8 million Gazans within what might well be described as a concentration camp.

Note, incidentally, I say “concentration camp” and not “death camp.” I am not comparing Gaza to Auschwitz-Birkenau, but one cannot help but liken the conditions today in Gaza to the sorts of conditions once faced by Japanese-Americans during World War II, or the Boers in South Africa during the Anglo-Boer War, or the black South Africans years later in such besieged townships as Soweto, or for that matter Jews and gays and gypsies at Dachau and Theresienstadt in the years before the Nazis themselves settled on their Final Solution.

And it is quite simply massively self-serving delusion that Israelis (and their enablers and abettors here in America, among whom incidentally I count a steadily declining number of American Jews) refuse to recognize that fact.

Weschler goes on to say that support for Israel is strongest in the U.S. among evangelicals. This is a standard dodge, employed by liberals, to avoid the hard reflective work of considering the power of the reactionary Jewish establishment. Does Obama care a fig about evangelicals when it comes to gay marriage or abortion? No. But here there is a unity of interest, and the power is in the Jewish establishment. Israel calls on Jews to recognize what Avram Burg said a few years back at the NY Public Library, that Jews created two structures in the wake of the Holocaust, a Jewish state and an American Jewish leadership.

For me Zionism was the scaffolding… that was supposed to help the Jewish people to rebuild, to restruct [sic] itself from an exilic reality to sovereignty. And the structure went on and on and on and on, and and now 150 and 100 and some years later, when you look around the Jewish existential reality, you realize that actually the Jewish people built two structures. One is the semi-autonomous American Jewry, which was not here 150 years ago– powerful influence, access to the corridors of power, impact on the culture, and civilization… plus the infrastructure of the community of solidarity and fraternity and support system and education etc and also the sovereignty over there in the Middle East.

Thanks to Ed Moloney.

Concentration camps where the inmates get to fire hundreds of rockets at a sovereign and democratic nation? Where they get supplies of armaments in from hate filled co religionists?Where the inmates close down other inmates shops for selling alcohol? Where they desecrate the war graves of fallen WW1 soldiers who have Christian headstones.

Doesn’t sound like a concentration camp. Sounds like a hate filled Islamistan.

So when John Key doesn’t apologise to ‘Tarn” he is “undermining someone who is seeking justice”

The sooner this diplomat comes back and we can see the details of the ‘serious’ sexual offence (alleged)

If JK donned sackcloth, covered himself with ashes and flagellated himself with stinging netles it

Maori, Jew and Australian, drinking beer in an outback pub. One night as they’re leaving, a road-train comes through the town and kills all three. The next day, the publican is surprised to see the Australian – who assumed dead – walked through the door. The Australian tells him, “Well, we were all killed, but when we got to the pearly gates, St. Peter said we could come back to earth if we pay him $20.” “Well, obviously, you paid up, but what happened to your friends?” “The jew’s trying to haggle him down to $10, and the Maori is trying to convince him that the government will pay for it.”

a little boy is at home with his family. He gets into the flour and puts it all over his face goes up to his mother and says ” look mom, im a little white boy” his mom slaps him across the face and says ” go see your uncle.. the boy goes to see his uncle and says ” look uncle, im a little white boy” the uncle slaps him across the face and says ” go see your grandmother” the little boy goes to see his grandmother and says ” look grandma, im a little white boy” grandmother slaps him and says ” go see your mother”
the little boy goes to see his mother. His mother says to him ” what have you learned?” the little boy says ” ive been white for 5 minutes and i already hate you fuckin Maori”

then a person called Greywarbler came on and said this…..

@Mickysavage
“I put forward that criticisms of David Cunliffe from any source here should be limited to one comment. And then denial of access or the next comments be wiped or banned. This to apply right to the end of the election. I would like The Standard to consider this seriously. It is indeed a serious matter at this time of approaching an election of vital importance to us all.”

Paul was ambling through a crowded street fair when he decided to stop and sit at a Palm Reader’s table. Said the mysterious old woman, “For fifteen dollars, I can read your love line and tell your romantic future.”
Paul readily agreed and the reader took one look at his open palm and said, “I can see that you have no girlfriend.”
“That’s true,” said Paul.
“Oh my goodness, you are extremely lonely, aren’t you?”
“Yes,” Paul shamefully admitted. “That’s amazing. Can you tell all of this from my love line?”
“Love line? No, from the calluses and blisters.”

The barman said, “where’d ya get that?”

The frog said,”Dunno – started off as a wart on me arse.” 😉

With Greens involved to nail McCully and Key if they can, Tania Billingsley complains of Key’s bored attitude – her perception, or even preconception – so an inquiry is instigated, but Greens/Billingsley still want Key at this stage to apologise, which of course would slant the inquiry a little.

Meanwhile Cunliffe who is now sorry he didn’t more clearly explain what he meant by earlier being earnestly “sorry for being a man”, has said a Labour Government would reverse Article 11, United Nations Declaration of Human Rights, to change the onus of proof in the type of case involving the Malaysian Embassy staff member.
His return may not now be until after the Election, if then.

Cricko – This is just getting ridiculous now.

Yes, and it will yet get more so.

A priest walks down the street, and sees a boy with some newborn kittens.

‘What type of kittens are they?’ he queries.

‘ They’re Catholic kittens’, the boy replies.

The priest smiles and walks away. A couple of weeks later, he sees the little boy again and asks, ‘How are those Catholic kittens doing?’

‘Oh, they aren’t Catholic kittens any more’, he replies sweetly.

Shocked, the priest exclaims, ‘What?! Why not?’

‘ Well’, the boy says, ‘they’ve opened their eyes, so now they’re atheists.’

Finally a bit of good news on the war against bugs & our own scientists are at the vanguard:

….”The war against drug-resistant superbugs is being lost, but Wellington scientists won’t surrender and are working on new, cheap antibiotics that could help stem the emerging global health crisis. “…..

….”By rearranging the enzymes that make a specific antibiotic, a different one can be created that resistant bacteria won’t recognise”…..

Two Aussies, Bruce & Ken were down on their luck and hanging out for a cold drink or three. After checking their pockets and finding only 50 cents, Bruce came up with a brilliant strategy. “I’ll take the 50 cents and show you how we can drink all day for free!”

Quickly, he went into a butcher’s shop and bought a single sausage, which he stuck in Ken’s fly. They then went to a nearby hotel. “Two beers”‘ said Bruce to the bartender. They downed them as fast as they could and the bartender waited for the money.

All of a sudden, Bruce got down on his knees and began sucking the sausage hanging out of Ken’s fly. “Get out of my pub, you filthy poofters!”, the bartender screamed and booted them out the door.

They did this all day, visiting about 16 pubs. “I just can’t do this anymore”, Bruce whined. “My knees are getting sore from kneeling”.

“It’s alright for you”, Ken replied. “I lost the sausage after the third pub.”

There’s a picture in today’s paper of a Geep, a rare crossbreed animal that results from a sheep mating with a goat.

Big deal. I once saw a Shelshman.

A certain badcam from TM has posted the link below purporting to demonstrate Ukrainian complicity in the downing of M17.A closer examination reveals a mish mash of Official Russian and RT sources with no attempt to properly evaluate their efficacy or relevancy . This includes the big mistake made by RT suggesting Ukraine SU 25s intercepted M17 when it does not have the operational capacity to do so at 33,000 ft
The blog Lew Rockwell gives you a clue about its ability and credibility to properly evaluate questions like this.

And especially with this kind of other tripe,

Stephieboy when we get WW3 are you going to be satisfied?

Because that is where we are headed.

Just like in 1914 incompetent fools rush to judgement, paint themselves into a corner and events take over

Millions will die.

Forces have been unleashed in Ukraine that nobody can control now, dark forces.

To resolve this catastrophe it will take calm rational adults – something sorely lacking among Western leaders alas

Hamas and jihadists need to be taught a harsher lesson

Hamas and jihad are two different things.

Jihad means struggle, in the context of the Gaza struggle by the people against the state is legitimate. The state is targeting the innocent, shelling homes and hospitals and murdering children on the beach.
