the strait of hormuz

posted Wednesday, January 04 2012

several reasons the iranian threats in the strait of hormuz aren't quite what they seem. yes if it comes to blows gas will go up short term, but we lived through that before. now why is iran threatening navel blockades which of coarse if challenged, would lead to military conflict. iran is reacting to being provoked by the US. the US see's that it's a good time to provoke iran. iran is a loose cannon and are in the process of obtaining a nuclear weapon. so, we are imposing sanctions, which obviously will hurt, or iran wouldn't be getting aggressive. now why is it a good thing for the US that iran gets aggressive?...well, way off in the china sea, the chinese navy is growing and flexing it's might. all of out allies in that region are getting nervous, rightfully so. the US is no longer the super power it once was, mainly due to the global banking cartel and the "debt" war waged on us, thanks china...that's another story. now to flex our naval might and send messages without provoking a "real" threat to us is flex in another area of the world far away from the chinese navy (which would be a formable adversary). we come under attack by iran, we sink iran, we show we still have it, china will take notice, we make all our allies in the china sea happy. what makes the Iranian situation all that much more in our favor is that syria is in no position to help them, nor is egypt. iraq? well, i don't even think they have any real army anymore. now the Israel factor, Israel has been itching to bomb iran for years, this would be their prime opportunity, they would take out any nuclear sites with their air force (Israel likes doing that stuff : yom kippur war), we clear the shipping lanes, and get back to our lives. on top of all that, we still have a large fighting force, a seasoned fighting force from the Iraqi war still in the area. we won't need them, but it is good saber rattling. do i think this is a good thing? no, i think it's a thing, and i think i'm pretty close to being right about the thing.

end of the season / steeler fans / appliance toss

posted Sunday, January 01 2012

so it's the end of the browns season, but for some of you who get it, game one was the end of the season. face it those of you who cling to hope, the browns are pathetic, and i'm of the firm belief they're meant to be pathetic. maybe it's more disgusting, the browns are disgusting, or better yet disgustingly pathetic, whatever, you get the point. holmgren.....holmgren's fat ass was hired to continue to give you hope. hope again is the biggest thing preventing the browns to become a winning franchise. you cling to that one good play of a losing game and they have you for another season. you "yeah but" and hope for the best.."we'll get them next year, just wait and see".....well haven't you had enough years of waiting to see? i've seen it alright, and so have you. i've seen an organization that wants to be just good enough to sell merch and fill seats without having to invest anymore money into their product. and it is their product not yours. they can do anything they want with the browns as long as you keep hoping. you allow this to happen. the rumble on the streets is another reason the owners and holmgren (what has he done this year really? he's gotten pissy because he go tired of hearing the truth from fans that's it) are doing what they're doing. the nfl would like to cross the boarder with a team. they would like london ontario be the city, and they would like a team to relocate with least amount of resistance from their present city. the best way to get people to let go is to give them a constantly bad product. there would be no way a winning team could up and leave it's home market without all hell breaking loose. sound outrageous?...maybe, all i know is the outrage needs to grow here in cleveland to a point where the demand for the heads of the owners and holmgren be placed on bloody spears outside their palace gates. a football revolution. cleveland must demand true change, others cities can develop winning teams...look at the "aint's" i mean saints for christ sakes. OCCUPY BROWNS

now for mine and jose's walk this morning...we went the route closest to the stadium to get coffee...and oh my, are there a lot of obnoxious steeler fans in town...even if they're not wearing their foul colors you can still spot one. it's their foreheads, you can tell by looking at them their parents were cousins.

last nights appliance toss...was much fun, pictures tomorrow.
