Quote:Pornography Found in bin Laden Hideout
Friday, 13 May 2011 04:25 PM

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A stash of pornography was found in the hideout of Osama bin Laden by the U.S. commandos who killed him, current and former U.S. officials said Friday.

The pornography recovered in bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, consists of modern, electronically recorded video and is fairly extensive, according to the officials, who discussed the discovery with Reuters on condition of anonymity.

The officials said they were not yet sure precisely where in the compound the pornography was discovered or who had been viewing it. Specifically, the officials said they did not know if bin Laden himself had acquired or viewed the materials.

Reports from Abbottabad have said that bin Laden's compound was cut off from the Internet or other hard-wired communications networks. It is unclear how compound residents would have acquired the pornography.

But a video released by the Obama administration confiscated from the compound showed bin Laden watching pictures of himself on a TV screen, indicating that the compound was equipped with video playback equipment.

Materials carted away from the compound by the U.S. commandos included digital thumb drives, which U.S. officials believe may have been a principal means by which couriers carried electronic messages to and from the late al Qaeda leader.

Three other U.S. officials familiar with evidence gathered during investigations of other Islamic militants said the discovery of pornography is not uncommon in such cases.

WTF Klempner? Just curious but who had a Russian wife other than Klempner and Oswald. Both named Marina. I'd like to see the FBI file on that one. Probably bigger than his old man's.

Yeah, sure, why not. I was going to post a copy of a letter, but it would have been so marked up with black lines, to keep the DLTruth guy from attempting to sabotage things, I'll just use words.

As all of my fans and anti-fans know, soon after Marina and I got married, 47 years ago, we abandoned both my birth name (Klempner) and hers (Dobrolubova) and chose a common new name, Bear. While my parents thought this was great, there was one Klempner who was really distressed. What is wrong with our fine name, etc. And when that person died, some years later, a modest inheritance was left to a whole raft of Klempners, and very pointedly not to me. Or so I thought. What was actually done, I recently learned, was to put my 'share' into escrow, so that if I ever 'saw the light' and went back to using the name Klempner, I would get my share. The law firm was instructed to monitor the situation from time to time. And so they did . . . in a rather casual way, it seems . . . because the certified letter I got said that their occasional monitoring of the Internet had shown that I was being identified professionally, at least at times, as John Klempner, and therefore they would be releasing my share of the inheritance.

My best guess is that what they found was some combination of DLTruth lines like this:
10/30/09: "...John Klempner, the Jewish-American ruthless owner of several degree mills..."
and possibly some references to a contract I entered into a few years ago with a Broadway producer, done under my birth name because that was the name on the copyright being sold.

Apparently attempting to wrest the coveted "Village Idiot" designation from Gollum, Noseburn launches a thread about.....the security paper on which his LLM transcripts are printed. My, how very interesting........zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, snore.

Perhaps suspecting that nobody really gives a rat's rear end about either his bush league law degrees or his transcripts, Nosebum attempts to liven up the otherwise desultory thread by taking a dump on the entire country of Mexico:

Quote:Taft sent me a copy of my transcript as evidence of credits for CPE and also of the award of the LL.M. degree. Heavens! My J.D. transcript is printed on plain white paper by a laser printer. That was 1986. My LL.M. transcript is printed on ultra-secure Treasury Note paper with all of the usual copy protect and watermarks and warnings about colors and images that must be present for the document to be accepted.

Reminds me of a modern birth certificate. All bells and whistles now. Understandable but...unfortunate. Even MEXICAN birth certificates have become high security documents.

Quote:I'm not turning it into a race thing. Nosborne48 did. His statement was incredibly racist.

Imagine if one said: "These days even AFRICANS are learning to read"

No one can doubt that a statement like that is incredibly racist. Nosborne should be ashamed of his filth.

Quote:

Quote:I beg your pardon, composition. If you were to do a search of my posts here, you would quickly see that I am very much pro-Mexico and pro-Mexican. I have undertaken to learn Spanish to make visiting that country, and communicating with Spanish speakers here in New Mexico as well, easier and friendlier. I have made more visits into Mexico over the last two years than most Americans will make in their lifetimes.

So the "I'm not racist because my best friend is black" argument? I've heard that one before.

Quote:My point was that Mexico has usually been behind the U.S. in the implimentation of technology. That is no longer the case in many areas. I was expressing amazement, nothing else.

It doesn't matter if it's a true statement, or if you're honest in your amazement. It's still racist. Any time you degrade a race it's racism no matter how honest you are.

Don't you agree that if one used the quote "even AFRICANS are learning to read these days" in polite company that the conversation probably wouldn't end well?

The quote may have a hint of truth to it. More and more communities across Africa are becoming literate. But it doesn't mean that the statement isn't incredibly racist to just make out of the blue like that.

You are picking them out and suggesting that they are an inferior people. That's degrading.

I am wondering about the opinion of others regarding LBU. I am looking at their PhD in Bible-Theology program. Nothing to do with my job and I certainly need no PhD in my field. However, I have a big interest in Bible studies and theology. I want a program that is on-line or distance to accommodate my work schedule, and will allow me to delve deeper into Bible and theological studies. I'm a computer scientist so it is a 180 from my work.

Maybe others have another suggestion. I have a few RA master's degrees already and not really interested in getting another MS degree. Since LBU offers the PhD(unaccredited, though) in this, I figured it might be a better advancement for me degree-wise. Just search for opinions at this point. I like that the LBU program is affordable, too. Maybe others have different thoughts. I would love to hear them, please.

Quote:Osama Bin Laden Killed By Navy Seals in Firefight

Osama Bin Laden was killed not by a drone strike, but up close during a firefight with U.S. troops. He was not living in a cave when he died, but in a million-dollar mansion with twelve-foot walls just 40 miles from the Pakistani capital, where U.S. forces killed him Sunday.

The U.S. had been monitoring the compound in Abbottabad for months after receiving a tip in August that Bin Laden might be seeking shelter there. He had long been said to be in the mountainous region along the Afghanistan, Pakistan border, hiding in a cave as the U.S. sought to kill him with drone strikes from above. Instead, he was in a house eight times larger than its neighbors, with walls more than 12 feet tall and valued at $1 million. The house had no phone or television and the residents burned their trash. The house had high windows and few points of access, and U.S. officials concluded it had been built to hide someone.

According to U.S. officials, two U.S. helicopters swept into the compound at 1:30 and 2:00 a.m. Sunday morning. Twenty to 25 U.S. Navy Seals under the command of the Joint Special Operations Command in cooperation with the CIA stormed the compound and engaged Bin Laden and his men in a firefight, killed Bin Laden and all those with him.

Two Bin Laden couriers were killed, as was one of Osama Bin Laden's son, as was a woman reportedly used as a shield by one of the men. Other women and children were present in the compound, according to Pakistani officials, but were not harmed. U.S. officials said that Bin Laden himself did fire his weapon during the fight.

One of the U.S. helicopters was damaged but not destroyed during the operation, and U.S. forces elected to destroy it themselves with explosives.

The Americans took Bin Laden's body into custody after the firefight and confirmed his identity. According to a senior administration official, the U.S. is "ensuring it is handled in accordance with Islamic practice and tradition. It's something we take seriously and therefore it's being handled in an appropriate manner."

According to Pakistani officials, the operation was a joint U.S.-Pakistani operation, but U.S. officials said only U.S. personnel were involved in the raid.

"The United States has conducted an operation that has killed Osama Bin Laden, the leader of Al Qaeda and a terrorist responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocent men, women and children," said President Obama Sunday night in an address to the nation. "A small team of Americans carried out with the operation with extraordinary courage. After a firefight, they killed Osama Bin Laden, and took custody of his body."

Abbottabad is a city of 90,000 in the Orash Valley, north of Islamabad, the Pakistani capital, and east of Peshawar. It is 40 miles by air from Islamabad.

Apparently Yellow Fever is spreading. Canada's king of socialism, scheduled to lead the 2nd or 3rd biggest party in the election in 2 days, got a tug from an Asian prostitute back in 1996. Funnier than hell. Strange that he preferred Asian handjobs while his Chinese Canadian Member of Parliament wife believes he was just getting, get this, "a real massage." I believe Olivia Chow, the wife, to be Canada's stupidest MP.

His nickname was Taliban Jack, now it's Jackulator.

An "anonymous tipster" reported a Homeland Security official had lied about having a college degree. Seems easy enough to verify. And when a look at his records at RA Sacramento City College revealed no degree he was suspended and targeted for a criminal investigation.

But the registrar later admitted that although the degree was not reflected on his 25 year old transcripts, "it was possible that he had received a degree and it wasn't posted on his transcripts--in fact...this had happened in the past!"

In fact, the registrar explained that "a student could have graduated from SCC but not have this fact reflected in the official transcript."

"It is clear...that SCC's files are incomplete and poorly maintained, which is not surprising in this day and age since SCC is a government institution...."

Most of your better diploma mills are happy to verify your "degree" and "transcripts." Not only can't the RA Gold Standard paper shufflers seem to manage it, the sheer incompetence typical of government institutions can get you suspended from your job and hauled up on bogus criminal charges too! RA or no way? More like RA = no way.

Quote:Federal Agent Targeted In Phony Degree Probe
Grand jury investigating high-ranking DHS/ICE official

MARCH 25--A high-ranking Homeland Security official who held a top secret security clearance and supervised squads of agents in Los Angeles has been suspended as a federal grand jury probes whether he lied about having a college degree, The Smoking Gun has learned.

The ongoing criminal investigation is targeting Jorge Guzman, a 25-year law enforcement veteran who served as the assistant special agent in charge of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s L.A. branch.

In mid-December, agents executed a search warrant at the 51-year-old Guzman’s office inside a downtown L.A. building. Simultaneously, he was placed on paid administrative leave, and stripped of his firearm, badge, and government vehicle. Correspondence sent to his dhs.gov e-mail address is now returned to the sender marked undeliverable.

Lawyers for Guzman, pictured at right, contend that he graduated from a California community college and has provided federal officials with copies of an authentic diploma. In a recent court filing, Guzman’s counsel stated that their client’s “name and reputation are being ruined by a false allegation” and shoddy sleuthing.

Whatever the investigation’s outcome, it will likely prove deeply embarrassing to Homeland Security officials. Either a high-ranking ICE supervisor was able to move up the law enforcement ladder while repeatedly lying about his educational history, or an experienced agent was wrongly accused by peers whose botched probe effectively torpedoed his career.

Triggered by an anonymous tip that Guzman “has lied throughout his career that he has a college degree,” ICE’s Office of Professional Responsibility opened an investigation late last year. In employment applications and background check documents, Guzman has reported receiving an Associate of Arts degree from Sacramento City College in January 1986, shortly before his hiring as a Border Patrol agent.

After a review of personnel records and school transcripts, and an interview with a college admissions supervisor, agents concluded that there was probable cause to believe that Guzman had lied about earning a degree from the two-year college, which he attended between 1978-1986. And that he had provided superiors with a bogus diploma.

So agents applied for, and received, permission to search Guzman’s office for a “replication of a diploma from Sacramento City College” and any items “evidencing the creation, procurement, possession and transmission” of the diploma. Though that search was conducted on December 10--the date Guzman was placed on leave--details of the DHS probe have not been previously disclosed.

“In order to search discreetly the office of a high-ranking ICE official,” government lawyers reported that agents enlisted the assistance of a higher-ranking DHS official. When told of the allegation against him, “Guzman became emotionally upset,” according to a court filing by Assistant United States Attorney Joseph Akrotirianakis. The prosecutor added that, “After composing himself,” Guzman voluntarily retrieved the “purported diploma” from his government-owned vehicle.

The document, Akrotirianakis noted in a recent court declaration, was being “tested for authenticity in a number of ways.”

In a series of blistering U.S. District Court filings, Guzman’s lawyers have criticized the government’s decision to launch a criminal investigation instead of pursuing the matter “through an administrative personnel action.” The grand jury probe is a “witch hunt” and “ridiculous inquiry,” they contend. The government’s “illegal search warrant,” lawyers charge, is filled with “wholly inaccurate characterizations” and “half-truths, at best.”

Before his suspension, Guzman supervised four ICE groups probing human smuggling and trafficking as well as benefit fraud. He has been quoted in newspapers about ICE cases and has appeared on TV programs like CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360.” He was quoted earlier this month by The Daily in a story about Mexico’s violent drug cartels (Guzman also appears in an accompanying video, which apparently was shot before the raid on his office).

Guzman has previously been the subject of a series of other internal investigations, inquiries that prompted him to file a lawsuit alleging that he was targeted because he is Latino. While admitting no wrongdoing, the Department of Justice in 1999 paid Guzman $400,000 to settle the legal action.

Looks like we are not the only ones who are standing up to David Featherly and his lies.

David actually mentioned this guy in an commentary he published and this blogger handed it right back to him.

Quote:So please spare me the over-generalized bilge present in this piece of trash article of yours; either present the facts or shut the hell up. We have more than enough distortions, misrepresentations and falsifications going on throughout the country today without you hysterically adding to the mix. I don't believe that you have any interest in journalistic integrity at all; you merely use your paper as a weapon, childishly lashing out at whomever and whatever irritates your non-absolute "standards" of "objectivity" - i.e., of your whims.

And, since your alleged justifications for trashing me in your rag are all hereby proved as nonsense, the only conclusion I can draw is that you don't like me for reasons you don't care to name publicly - which is pretty cowardly if you ask me. If you have a problem with my ideas, and care to discuss them, bring it on. In my estimate however, based on what you spew, having some good old-fashioned guts isn't very high on your list of non-absolutes either.

The rest of your rant, as it relates to teacher tenure, is full of more than a few misconceptions as well, and it is quite clear to me that you have no grasp of the free-market functioning of a completely privatized educational system, or of the benefits that would accrue to everyone in society as a result thereof. And, were I so inclined as to deem you teachable, I'd take the time and energy to discuss them with you. But why bother, when pompous pontifications is all I can expect in return? I'll save my breath on that front for someone worthy of it.
