a national security threat, and its plans to transition to alternative
fuel sources. Includes excerpts and link to the 2011 Quadrennial
Defense Review. Focus, on cyber security, climate change and
identifying redundancies in the private contractor DOD-supply chain,
and strengthening export controls.

correction the discussion on how increased US Domestic Oil Drilling
will not lower Prices in the US Domestic Market, along with discussion
of the role of derivatives and speculation in the Oil and Real Estate
market, and how the repeal of the Affordable Care Act will add to the
Deficit please see this link: 75 messages exchanged in total with

also see quoted text in first post for links regarding The TOKAMAK
Fusion Test Reactor
regarding this project
http://www.pppl.gov/projects/pages/tftr.html
The Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor (TFTR) operated at the Princeton
Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) from 1982 to 1997. TFTR set a number
of world records, including a plasma temperature of 510 million
degrees centigrade -- the highest ever produced in a laboratory, and
well beyond the 100 million degrees required for commercial fusion. In
addition to meeting its physics objectives, TFTR achieved all of its
hardware design goals, thus making substantial contributions in many
areas of fusion technology development.
In December, 1993, TFTR became the world's first magnetic fusion
device to perform extensive experiments with plasmas composed of 50/50
deuterium/tritium -- the fuel mix required for practical fusion power
production. Consequently, in 1994, TFTR produced a world-record 10.7
million watts of controlled fusion power, enough to meet the needs of
more than 3,000 homes. These experiments also emphasized studies of
behavior of alpha particles produced in the deuterium-tritium
reactions. The extent to which the alpha particles pass their energy
to the plasma is critical to the eventual attainment of sustained
fusion.
In 1995, TFTR scientists explored a new fundamental mode of plasma
confinement -- enhanced reversed shear. This new technique involves a
magnetic-field configuration which substantially reduces plasma
turbulence.
the biggest conspiracy of all to block the implementation of a Hot
Fusion nuclear power plant, from becoming viable. Bush slashed the
Fusion Energy budget at Los Alamos national labs. the bottom link will
take you to an archived page from 2004, including all known research
up to that date: Fuckin George Bush Bastard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

fascist, the Market is an Oligopoly, not true atomistic capitalism,
envisioned by Adam Smith.
I've given you a gold mine of information, and all you can do is try
to parrot Glen Beck Orwellian doublespeak. Fact is republicans under
Bush destablised the global geopolitical system by attempting unipolar
and unilateral military actions. Now we are suffering the
consequences. The republic is beset on all sides by transnational
terrorist threats and conventional state sponsors of terror, because
the world smells blood, because they know if the US doesnt vote to
raise the debt limit / ceiling by august 2 nd of this year than all
hell will break loose in the financial markets, interest rates will
skyrocket, elderly and disabled wont get their social security checks,
or sacrifice their medical coverage, and I guess your faggot ass will
be made homeless, and the troops will not be paid or both.
Either way faggots like you just dont get it, you think the solution
is to be found soley in the private sector, read the 2010-2011 QDR,
DOD is having a major supply redundancy and export control violations
among its private contractor networks. There are only 4 major defense
contractors left in the US, so its in their best interest to bleed the
US government dry. You should read this book, "Prophets of War" by
William D. Hartung, it details how Lockheed Martin ripped off the
government all throughout the 70's and 80's and 90's, like charging
600 dollars for toilet seats, and 7000 dollars for coffee makers
aboard bombers, etc., it also goes over the mega mergers in the
defense industry.
In regards to causalties you needle nose pussy fuck doesnt know what
real causalties are. We have lost a total of 5000 troops over 10 years
fighting 2, Bush started wars. In vietnam we lost 58000 troops, in
World War II we lost 400000 troops. This isnt shit you pussy fuck.
However, let me reiterate, the QDR says all troops will be withdrawn
from Iraq by the end of this year, QDR unofficially projects that
Obama will withdraw 5000 - 10000 troops from afghanistan this year,
with final combat troops scheduled to pull out by 2014, if
negotiations with the Child raping, stoning women to death, for
adultry, cutting off their noses for objecting to arranged marriage,
Taliban prove unsuccessful. Eat shit you heartless
faggot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think it is time for you to go back to sucking dicks and selling your
drugs on the corner and leaving these decisions to real Americans.
Perhaps NAMBLA would appreciate your upchuck more then I/we do.
It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard
the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all
ages who mean to govern well, but *They mean to govern*. They promise to
be good masters, *but they mean to be masters*. Daniel Webster

hasnt debunked shit, he just keeps changing the subject:
http://groups.google.com/group/alt.politics.democrats.d/msg/65254c69e0bd3b3e
So it is you who are living in denial. Come August 2 2011, if the
government doesnt vote to raise the debt ceiling, your astroturfing,
parroting David Koch, feeble mind wont get your trust fund check:
http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2011-06-15-debt-limit-debate_n.htm
excerpts for the right wing tards who dont know how to read an article
for themselves:
"Debate over U.S. debt limit is going down to the wire
"In just seven weeks, America could run out of borrowed money.
Exactly one month ago, the Treasury Department began issuing IOUs
rather than bonds to some government pension funds. That allowed for
continued auctions of so-called "risk-free" Treasury bonds until Aug.
2.
Unless Congress acts by then, the world's richest nation — unable to
borrow $4 billion a day to pay its bills — would risk default.
To hear Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner tell it, interest rates
would spike, stock and home values would sink, savings and investment
would dry up, jobs would disappear, businesses would fail, and
everything from tax refunds to troops' salaries would go unpaid.
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke says it would lead to "severe
disruptions" in financial markets, lower credit ratings and damage to
the dollar and Treasury securities.
The centrist Democratic think tank Third Way claims the gyrations in
labor, financial and stock markets would cost 642,500 jobs, add
$19,175 to every mortgage in process and lop $8,816 from the typical
401(k) account.
Now comes the need to increase the government's $14.3 trillion debt
limit — the amount of money it can owe creditors ranging from China to
the Social Security Trust Fund. The ceiling was reached May 16, and
only action by a reluctant Congress can raise it.
The federal government relies on borrowed money like a fish needs
water. Threaten to take it away, and you risk a global crisis with
economic, political, diplomatic and even moral implications.
What happens if America can't pay its bills?
"Nobody knows what would happen, but why in the world would you want
to try to find out?" says David Walker, the former U.S. comptroller
general now heading the fiscal watchdog group Comeback America
Initiative."
On how your beloved Republicans have contributed the most to the
national debt
"In the past half-century, Congress has acted 78 times to raise,
extend or revise the debt limit — the amount of money the government
can borrow to repay bond holders. The red ink has risen 49 times under
Republican presidents, 29 times under Democrats. It's gone up 10 times
since 2001"
On How ronald reagan tripled the national debt on his watch:
"The Obama administration has taken to citing Ronald Reagan's
promotion of debt ceiling increases as proof that it's not just a
Democrat's desire. Indeed, it was Reagan's defense buildup and tax
cuts, along with a major recession, that helped triple the debt on his
watch, to nearly $3 trillion — half the size of the economy at that
time."
Comparison of Clinton and Bush, Clinton ran a budget surplus, Bush,
was a deficit spender:
"Four years of economic boom at the end of Bill Clinton's
administration produced historic budget surpluses and reduced the debt
as a percentage of the economy to 56%. But the accumulated interest
costs still caused the debt to rise to $5.7 trillion.
From there, it took off.
George W. Bush's tax cuts, wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and expansion
of Medicare to include prescription drugs were deficit-financed,
sending the debt past $10 trillion"
"The recession and Obama's economic stimulus package in 2009 sent it
higher still. And in December, Obama agreed to extend the Bush tax
cuts through 2012.
Today the debt isn't just a problem because of its size. Nearly half
of the $9.7 trillion "public" debt — as opposed to the $4.6 trillion
held by the Social Security trust fund and other government accounts —
is owned by foreign investors. Nearly half of that $4.5 trillion can
be traced to two countries, China and Japan."
on the republican plan for more corporate welfare tax cuts for the
rich and slashing Medicare and medicaid to pay for it:
"Because of those rising interest costs and a growing, aging
population, even the deficit-reduction plans floated by Republicans,
the White House and various outside groups wouldn't stop the debt from
growing.
The most draconian — House Republicans' plan to slash $4.4 trillion
from the deficit in the next decade, then transform Medicare into a
voucher-like program — projects a $16.2 trillion debt next year. By
2021, even with all the cuts, it would be $23 trillion.
"This problem," says Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., a leader of a bipartisan
Senate effort to control the debt, "just gets exponentially worse."
The Treasury Department makes about 1 billion payments a year, 80
million a month. Without borrowing authority, some payments couldn't
be made.
Obama and Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid control two-thirds of
the negotiations, but Republican House Speaker John Boehner is in the
driver's seat.
on how the republicans just want to give more corporate welfare to the
rich:
"Republicans are insisting that entitlement programs such as Medicare
and Medicaid be included in the cuts, but that tax increases be left
out.
Obama wants to target tax breaks enjoyed by oil companies and others,
and he's pushing for a "debt cap" aimed at locking in the savings over
five years by forcing automatic reductions if needed."
On how US government default would be disasterous to the credit
markets:
"As Aug. 2 nears, it becomes less likely that a deal to raise the debt
limit can get through Congress in time. That means a short-term
extension would be needed to avoid default.
The deadlocked debate has spooked financial markets and all three
major financial ratings agencies. Pimco, the world's largest bond
investor, unloaded its U.S. government debt in March.
"It's a very dangerous game of roulette that we're playing right now,"
says Neel Kashkari, Pimco's managing director.
Standard & Poor's put the government on notice in April that its
triple-A rating was in jeopardy. Moody's Investors Service warned this
month of a similar downgrade. Fitch Ratings says Treasury bonds could
be rated as "junk" by August.
Among the world's nearly 20 AAA-rated nations, "the U.S. really is the
only one that has not yet adopted a serious plan to reverse the upward
path of the debt," says Steven Hess, senior credit officer at Moody's.
Default clocks and payment plans
That failure has at least some lawmakers preparing for default —
something Congressional Budget Office director Douglas Elmendorf calls
"a dangerous gamble."
One school of thought: It would never happen. The Treasury Department
would find some way to extend the clock. Geithner's Aug. 2 deadline
isn't real.
Geithner counters that as soon as the nation failed to pay any of its
bills on time — from salaries and contracts to tax refunds — "the
world would recognize it as a first-ever failure by the United States
to meet its commitments."
no go run and hide you stupid fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

we have lost a total of 5000 people in 10 years in Iraq and
afghanistan. In world war 2 we lost 400000 men. This is nothing!!!!!!

All US combat troops will be out of Iraq at the end of the year
according to the QDR; that's a reduction of 50000 troops. In
afghanistan 5000 - 10000 troops will be recalled. Regarding somalia,
we have a few special operations group (SOG) no more than a 100 people
total there. In libya no US military combat troops have been deployed.
Primarily the US is relying on unmanned drone strikes on Qaddafi's
military installations. The majority of the Bombing operations are
being carried out by the British and the french, with Italy in a
logistics supply role!!!!! The US presence in Libya is very minimal,
it is only costing us about a billion a month!!!

I highly doubt that europe wants to see american troop withdrawl, but
nevertheless I think we need to make reductions here. The threat of
soviet land invasion has faded with the cold war. However, the
potential for a tactical nuclear strike on europe by russia, means we
must invest more in ballistic missile defense, to compensate for troop
reductions.

as I have stated previously and as you attempt to parrot my line when

thread, that Europe you should shoulder more of the costs for NATO,
and that possibly we could close some bases in Germany.

Look what happened before World war 2, you had UK prime minister
Nevile Chamberlain's appeasement of Nazi germany, and a disaffected
isolationist republican congress, and then Pearl Harbor got bombed. By

First of all we cant afford to pull out of Japan or south korea.
Secondly we only have roughly 25000 troops in South Korea, and support
operations in Japan. China's rise as an economic superpower along with
their proxy DPRK, N. Korea already possessing nuclear weapons, means
we cant withdraw from that region. Also china has doubled national
defense spending from last years levels!!!!
exactly we have to raise the debt ceiling or the USA's triple AAA bond
rating will be downgraded. Republican plans are worse than the
democrats when it comes to taming the deficit, their plan is just cut
taxes for the rich, and possibly impose a flat tax later, that would
mean you would be paying a 30 percent sales tax on everything, and the
rich would pay nothing since they get the majority of their income
through capital gains!!!!!!!!!
we need deficit reduction, however, there are ways to save the social
safety net and not lower america's standard of living or overall life
expectancy. Your free will theory, doesnt take in account the fact of
the economic deterministic effects on seniors and the poor and
disabled if we dismantled these programs. If the debt limit isn't
raised and your grandma has medicare, she will have no coverage, you
heartless bastard!!! You are like Marie Antoninette, before she got
her head cut off, for saying let the poor eat cake, just like her, you
live in an ivory tower!!!!!!!!!!!!

your analysis doesnt take an account of the obstructionist congress,
and the fact that the congress votes in tax increases, or decreases,
the president can only propose this, congress holds the purse strings.
How you like supporting people who favor income redistributation from
the middle class to the rich. Moron!!!!!!!!!!

the alternative to the treaty, would have allowed for increased
proliferation of nuclear weapons by both sides, and we would not be
able to monitor russian compliance with the New Start Treaty or
whether they were honoring NPT, or the fact that security at russian
nuclear missile silos are extremely lax, and that all of the weapons
grade uranium being smuggled on the black market was coming from
russia, so we had to have inspection teams at russian nuke sites to
verify security of their arsenal and to monitor treaty compliance, in
regards to New START. WE also reciprocated by allowing the russians to
verify that we as are they are required to make reductions in our
nuclear arsenals.

as stated earlier you have already proven that you are a moral
relativist, and a nihilist!!!!!!!
You want the Taliban to return to power in afghanistan, which is
exactly what will happen if we leave, and then they will be free to
rape children, cut off the noses of young girls who object to arranged
marriages, and stone femal adulterers to death!!!! Not to mention if
we pull out Al qaeda and the Taliban could potentially take over
Pakistan, since the ISI, is riddled with Al qaida sympathizers, and
its just a matter of time if we leave, that they will get a hold of
Pakistan's nuclear arsenal!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are so fuckin ignorant. One of the provisions of the Dodd-Frank
bill limits the amount of swipe fees big banks can charge stores every
time they use their mastercard or visa debit/credit card. Currently
the big banks charge your beloved Mom and Pops stores, 40 cents or
roughly 1 percent of the purchase price every time a customer makes a
purchase at their store, this is in addition to fees charged by
Mastercard and Visa to consumers every time they use their card. The
big banks racked up billions charging these fees. The Dodd-frank bill
with senator Dick Durbin's amendment attached to it would limit the
amount of swipe fee surcharges to 12 cents per transaction.

Yah but you bitch about Verizon and AT&T being on the government dole,
when in fact they are not, they just have really good tax attorney's
like Michelle Bachman's of the world, so that Verizon can get of
paying its fair share in taxes cuz of all the loop holes in the tax
code, and becaus the Wireless broadband market is an Oligopoly, with
these two companies, pending AT&T's meger with T-Mobile, means that
now 80 percent of the market will be controlled by 2 companies. Also
AT&T is being sued by consumers in a class action suit, for charging
customers sometimes as much as 300 percent, for iPhone use they never
used!!! That's not capitalism, rather monopolistic
mercantilism!!!!!!!!!!

bargaining workers have no power or leverage regarding their
wages!!!!!!!! Just look at walmart, they are anti-union and so they
pay less than comparably placed unionized retail sector jobs, like in
grocery stores. They also rarely offer health insurance and that's if
you are employed full time, so they will usually schedule you just
under the minimum requirement to qualify for health coverage under
state law so that they dont have to pay you health benefits. I Had
friends who worked at Walmart while going to college, they are the
evil empire!!!!!!!!! The Walton family who owns walmart is
collectively worth 80 billion dollars, and they get the most of their
product from sweatshop Communist chinese labor. You have no idea what
the fuck you are talking about when it comes to free will, neither did
Louis XVI did before he get his head cut off!!!!!!!!!!!!!
eat shit bitch!!!!!!

alternative which is to legalize heroin, also the market is being
flooded with coke right now pending the approval of Columbian and
Panama Free trade agreements. I think Marijuana should be legalized,
but nothing else. Its estimated that it could generate billions in tax
reserves, for state's struggling with deficits!!!!!
The drug war is really a class war, the transnational cartels, are the
feudalist trailers, of the oligarchs, engineering addiction as a way
to maximise profit and prohibit class mobility!!!!!!!!!
