Aerial Demo of Russian SU 30 Fighter Jet Sets New Standard. Now the #1 Fighter Jet.

February 20th, 2009 | No Comments | Posted in Weird News

UPDATED: Here is the even newer SU 47!

SU 30:

Russia now has #1 fighter plane in the world.  SU-30- Vectored Thrust with Canards. As you watch this airplane, look at the canards moving along side of, and just below the canopy rail. The “canards” are the small wings forward of the main wings. The smoke and contrails provide a sense of the actual flight path, sometimes in reverse direction. This video is of an in-flight demonstration flown by the Russian’s-30MK fighter aircraft. You will not believe what you are about to see. The fighter can stall from high speed, stopping forward motion in seconds. (full stall). Then it demonstrates an ability to descend tail first without causing a compressor stall. It can also recover from a flat spin in less than a minute.

These maneuver capabilities don’t exist in any other aircraft in the world today.

Major victory for the revolutionary forces

February 15th, 2009 | 1 Comment | Posted in Weird News
Hugo Chávez

Hugo Chávez

Tonight at 9:35 pm in Caracas, the National Electoral Commission (CNE) announced that the amendment lifting the two-term limit for elected officials, won, by a popular vote of 54.36% to 45.63%. With the CNE’s first official announcement by director Tibisay Lucena, 94% of the votes had been counted from the 67.05% of eligible voters who turned out at the polls.

The referendum is a major victory for the revolutionary forces who back President Hugo Chávez, as it gives him the right to run for president for a third term in 2012. It also lifts the two-term restriction for all levels, from municipal to national offices.

By today’s vote, articles 160, 162, 174, 192 and 230 of the Bolivarian Constitution were amended to allow the voters to approve of their representatives for unlimited times.

The rightwing opposition to the revolutionary process, financed by the U.S. government, will undoubtedly protest the outcome, but the people have spoken.

Dawning of the age of Aquarius? Feb 13-15 2009

Dawning of the Age of Aquarius

Dawning of the Age of Aquarius

This is the dawning of Age of Aquarius.

Really.

Just like the song says.

Here, now, Saturday, Feb. 14, Valentine’s Day, 2009.

This is the day “when the moon is in the Seventh House and Jupiter aligns with Mars.” When “peace will guide the planets and love will steer the stars.”

It’s about time. What with economic collapse, climate change and rampant terrorism, we could use some good news.

But what does it mean, and is it really here?

To James Rado and Gerome Ragni, it meant “no more falsehoods or derisions, golden living dreams of visions.” At least that’s what their lyrics for song “Aquarius” in the musical “Hair” say.

Aquarius is oriented strongly toward groups, says San Antonio astrologer Lance Rodriguez. “It’s a sign of the community, civic activism, anything dealing with society,” he says. “A catchall phrase would be ‘group consciousness.’”

The sign also rules technology and inventiveness, and its energy is very intellectual, he says, so being in the Aquarian age taps into that.

Abortion Clinic throws out live baby.

TAMPA, Florida  —  Eighteen and pregnant, Sycloria Williams went to an abortion clinic outside Miami and paid $1,200 for Dr. Pierre Jean-Jacque Renelique to terminate her 23-week pregnancy.

Three days later, she sat in a reclining chair, medicated to dilate her cervix and otherwise get her ready for the procedure.

Only Renelique didn’t arrive in time. According to Williams and the Florida Department of Health, she went into labor and delivered a live baby girl.

What Williams and the Health Department say happened next has shocked people on both sides of the abortion debate: One of the clinic’s owners, who has no medical license, cut the infant’s umbilical cord. Williams says the woman placed the baby in a plastic biohazard bag and threw it out.

Police recovered the decomposing remains in a cardboard box a week later after getting anonymous tips.

Study of Butterfly Population Shows Downward Trend

January 29th, 2009 | No Comments | Posted in Weird News

Climate change will cause Europe to lose much of its biodiversity as projected by a comprehensive study on future butterfly distribution.

Europe loosing butterflies from climate crisis

Even this would mean that 50 per cent of the land occupied by 147 different butterflies would become too warm for them to continue to exist there. Many butterflies will largely disappear from where they are regularly seen now.
