Do Not Protest the Use of Drones. You Will Be Maced.
The National Air and Space Museum in Washington was closed Saturday after anti-war demonstrators swarmed the building to protest a drone exhibit and security guards used pepper spray to repel them, sickening a number of protesters.

Coming Soon to a Democracy Near You.
Thousands of students have marched in the streets of the Chilean capital after talks between their representatives and government officials failed to meet students' demands.
Several people, including reporters, were injured in Thursday's march after police tried to disperse the protesters in Santiago's Plaza Italia using water cannons and tear gas.
Camila Vallejo, the spokeswoman for leaders of students at 25 state universities, called the violence unprecedented, even after five months of confrontations between students and police

Why do Mexicans Behead? No History of Beheadings in Mexico Prior to 2006
Decapitation is quickly fatal to humans and most animals as brain death occurs within minutes without circulating oxygenated blood. However, some animals and insects such as cockroaches can survive decapitation, and die not because of it, but because of starvation.
The British officer John Masters recorded in his autobiography that Pathan women in the North-West Frontier Province (1901–1955) of British India (now modern day Pakistan) during the Anglo-Afghan Wars would behead and castrate non Muslim soldiers who were captured, like British and Sikhs.
In Japan, decapaiation was historically performed as the second step in seppuku (ritual suicide by disembowelment). After the victim had sliced his own abdomen open, another warrior would strike his head off from behind with a katana to hasten death and to reduce the suffering. The blow was expected to be precise enough to leave intact a small strip of skin at the front of the neck—to spare invited and honored guests the indelicacy of witnessing a severed head rolling about, or towards them; such an event would have been considered inelegant and in bad taste.
The type of "beheading" practiced by Al Qaeda and similar groups differs from traditional judicial beheading. Traditional beheading is done quickly, with a massive steel blade, which cuts through the neck from the back, first severing the spinal column, then cutting the four large blood vessels, the trachea, and the esophagus. Unconsciousness is nearly instantaneous, and brain death occurs shortly thereafter. Terrorist-style beheading is reversed: using a rather small knife, first the killer cuts the throat, severing the carotid arteries and jugular veins, the trachea, and the esophagus, causing the victim to bleed out within a minute; then the spine is slowly severed by an instrument that is not really massive enough for the job (acceptable substitutes would include a machete, a butcher's cleaver, or a more traditional sword or axe). The first half of this procedure follows the method for Islamic ritual slaughter of food animals. The second half follows no clear precedent.

Obama Administration Strongarms Air Force Four Star General to Change Testimomy in Favor of Large Democratic Campaign Donor
"The four-star Air Force general who oversees Air Force Space Command walked into a highly secured room on Capitol Hill a week ago to give a classified briefing to lawmakers and staff, and dropped a surprise. Pressed by members, Gen. William Shelton said the White House tried to pressure him to change his testimony to make it more favorable to a company tied to a large Democratic donor."
Is Obama a taller, better looking, darker skinned Richard Nixon?

"New York, N.Y.—“It was permissible, but I wouldn’t advise another fund to do it!” Philip Falcone says of the $113 million loan he took from the fund he manages, Harbinger Capital Partners, to pay his 2008 taxes—a move that has made him the subject of an S.E.C. investigation. “I have always kept the bulk of my money, and I mean the bulk of my money, in the fund,” he tells Vanity Fair. “How can anyone possibly say my interests aren’t aligned with theirs?” Contributing editor Bethany McLean spoke to “Manhattan’s most controversial couple,” Philip and Lisa Maria Falcone, about the gossip and accusations that surround them.

He has a reputation for being stubborn, volatile, and aggressive, and now the word on the Street is that, well, maybe you can’t trust him, either,” a hedge-fund investor tells."

Romania
Romanian President Traian Basescu says U.S. President Barack Obama has advised him to reform his country's troubled justice system.
Mr. Basescu spoke Wednesday in Bucharest, one day after he met with President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden at the White House. A White House statement issued afterwards says discussions covered ongoing political and economic reforms in Romania.
The eastern European country's police and courts have been pursued by allegations of corruption and political interference.
Obama scolds Romania on corruption. Then gives them missiles.
EXCLUSIVE | The Obama White House tried to rush federal reviewers for a decision on a nearly half-billion-dollar loan to the solar-panel manufacturer Solyndra so Vice President Biden could announce the approval at a September 2009 groundbreaking for the company’s factory, newly obtained e-mails show.
/
“We have ended up with a situation of having to do rushed approvals on a couple of occasions (and we are worried about Solyndra at the end of the week),” one official wrote. That Aug. 31, 2009, message, written by a senior OMB staffer and sent to Terrell P. McSweeny, Biden’s domestic policy adviser, concluded, “We would prefer to have sufficient time to do our due diligence reviews.”
/
Solyndra collapsed two weeks ago, leaving taxpayers liable for the $535 million loan.

"Crisis of the Cucumber." Muammar Winning NATO's Clusterfuck "Libyan War." Vlad Talks Smack
The presidents of Asaja in Lleida and Tarragona, Pere Albert Roque and Castelló, respectively, have expressed the desperation of an industry that draws black months and that "pays the faults of others," for example in the case of the crisis of the cucumber. Es por ello que Castelló ha asegurado que a partir de ahora responderán con el criterio del "ojo por ojo" y pagarán "con la misma moneda" a los atacantes, que ha calificado de "terroristas" . That is why Castelló has said that from now respond to the criteria of "an eye for an eye" and paid "in kind" to the attackers, who he described as "terrorists."
Trade Wars Betwen Spain and France commence
'Asaja coordinator in Catalonia, Albert Castelló, has said that already run out of patience, "eye for eye, tooth for tooth," and said it is absurd to continue with good words and wait for action by governments.
It has also warned that if they attack at the border now and the end of the month "automatically go looking French interests and cause the most damage possible." He called on the Catalan police to be "gatekeepers" and to defend the interests of Catalan and Spanish when these attacks occur, as has ensured that the security forces do Gauls.
Asaja has hit back against the Government for its "immobility" when taking concrete steps to defend the interests of local producers, which this week have been suffering more attacks on the border.'

ATF Sells Thousands of Assault Rifles to Mexican Drug Cartels
"Gun Runner and another operation called Fast and Furious were designed to dismantle the gun-smuggling routes that drug cartels use to ferry high-powered assault rifles from the U.S. into Mexico. By allowing people to illegally purchase large quantities of the weapons from gun dealers, officials hoped to trace the firearms to the drug cartel members and prosecute them. But ATF whistleblowers allege that officials lost track of the guns."
