Gene's Footnotes

I have never been impressed by the messenger and always inspect the message, which I now understand is not the norm. People prefer to filter out discordant information. As such, I am frequently confronted with, "Where did you hear that...." Well, here you go. If you want an email version, send me an email.

Note from Canada


Irene Wolfson sent a note that easily outlines a blog entry. Irene's comments are in italics.

When you keep up with news outside of the delusional U.S. major media sources, it is hard to get a good night's sleep. Conflict is coming, we will have to act in a big way and will, while most Americans are living in 1967.

Eventually, important events are covered, but they don't get in the way of OJ reports. At least we have grown ups still in the White House and our enemies know that. Hence, their overt and hidden support for all people left.

Over recent days:
Reported: many engineers/technicians killed in Syria while loading chemical weapons on a scud when it explodes prematurely.

The news of the recent WMD Syrian SNAFU has been mentioned, see below. Also see an article about the 2004 accident (maybe) involving WMD accident. The latest crop of Syrian genius engineers were killed by sarin gas. I will take even money - this explosion was not an accident in light of the recent IDF attack on the nuclear facilities in Syria, also see below. Can Iran be far behind? Americans ignore the obvious in favor of saving "healthy" ice bergs. The events in Syria are the most important news of the summer, unless you went to public school and worry about SUVs and Edward's hair cuts.

LONDON – A Syrian military installation rocked by an explosion in July was being used to develop chemical weapons, and Iranian engineers were among those killed, a defense publication reported Wednesday.

Jane's Defence Weekly said the July 26 explosion took place at the site of a joint Iranian/Syrian project to fit short-range ballistic missiles with chemical warheads. It cited Syrian defense sources as saying it happened during a test to fit a “Scud C” missile with a mustard-gas warhead when fuel caught fire at the production site.

“The blast dispersed chemical agents across the storage facility and outside,” the publication quoted the sources as saying. The chemical agents included VX and Sarin nerve agents and mustard blister agent.

2004: More Syrian engineers dead

Sankei Shimbun, a Japanese Daily, reported on 7th (of May, 2004), "In Ryongchon Blast, Syrian engineers were killed and wounded. A wagon carrying a large cargo had a particularly heavy damage, revealed on 6th (of May, 2004) by a military news source who has great expertise on Korean matters." According to the source, "the content of the cargo is unknown. However, after the accident, N. Korean military personnels in protective suits arrived at the scene, and recovered the remains of the destroyed wagon. We strongly suspect that the accident occurred while transporting a top-secret cargo between N. Korea and Syria."

The paper went on to say, citing the source, "Passengers in the wagon were engineers dispatched from Syria's Scientific Investigation and Research Center(CERS). CERS's goal is promoting science and technology. It is also suspected of a major involvement in the Syria's development of WMD's."

It also reported, "Engineers were in a separate compartment in a wagon from the cargo compartment. It is not clear whether the cargo was the primary source of the explosion or the secondary source after explosion from other wagons. However, it is true that this wagon had the most extensive damage. Close to 10 personnels of both Syrians and N. Koreans were either killed or wounded."

Hamas website calls Rice a "black snake". {More than a web site - it was TV}

On September 18, Hamas' Al-Aqsa TV labeled U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice a "black snake."

The phrase is circled in the above image.

Something very unusual happened in Syria when the IDF ran an operation there recently. Nobody is talking.

Israelis ‘blew apart Syrian nuclear cache’

Secret raid on Korean shipment

IT was just after midnight when the 69th Squadron of Israeli F15Is crossed the Syrian coast-line. On the ground, Syria’s formidable air defences went dead. An audacious raid on a Syrian target 50 miles from the Iraqi border was under way.

At a rendezvous point on the ground, a Shaldag air force commando team was waiting to direct their laser beams at the target for the approaching jets. The team had arrived a day earlier, taking up position near a large underground depot. Soon the bunkers were in flames.

Ten days after the jets reached home, their mission was the focus of intense speculation this weekend amid claims that Israel believed it had destroyed a cache of nuclear materials from North Korea...

Yet.
Amahdi-Nejad asks to visit Ground Zero when he comes to the UN next week. (Why is that genocidal maniac allowed in the US?)

This is being covered fully, now. We have to be nice to visiting UN con men by treaty, but only as far as getting them to the UN and hotel. I have no idea why we remain in the U.N. They are like the United Way, a group dedicated to paying themselves while funding whomever they like.

Syria/Iran assassinate yet another Lebanese parliamentarian.


I did see an article in the paper today (not a major paper) with a photo and ominous comments from Lebanon's politicians. Don't know if the TV cares to report on a bad Syria. They will soon, as I suspect Syria is going to be visited from three sides. It will be interesting to see Israel and Lebanon as allies. So far, Syria has done nothing about the attack. I suspect they know their enemies are hoping for them to attack Israel directly, not something cowards do very often.
Russia war games a nuke attack on the US.

Vladimir Putin today ordered the Russian air force to resume the cold war practice of long-range flights by strategic bombers.

"We have decided to restore flights by Russian strategic aviation on a permanent basis," the president told reporters at joint military exercises with China and four central Asian states in the Russian Ural mountains.

Earlier this month, Russian air force generals said bomber crews had flown near a US military base on the Pacific island of Guam, causing US aircraft to be scrambled to track them. The Pentagon said Russian aircraft had not come close enough to US ships for American planes to react.

(At least GB II was a real fighter pilot.)


And all I saw on Fox whenever I turned it on this week was OJ, OJ, OJ,......
And of course I didn't hear about this (below) from any of the major media. http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2007/09/another_big_dem_donor_scandal.html

{Big time trial lawyer Clinton/Dem operative going to jail.}

Even Fox now fails fabulously in their responsibility to report the news when the nation is in danger. I'm disgusted. It's one of those days.
