How to raise more doubts as possible and make conspiracy theorists happy
- present pictures so badly photoshopped that the deception is immediately discovered;
- Get rid in unseemly haste of decisive evidence in favor of one's own statements with fanciful reasons;
-Refusing to show photos or videos on the grounds of ludicrous excuses;
- Give a first version of the facts (a) then amend it (a1), then a completely different version (b) finally, yet another version (c);
- Diffuse material insignificant or already seen as a sop.
The CIA has followed these instructions to the letter, apparently.

Sailing the Titan Seas

(PhysOrg.com) -- The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Md., is managing a project to explore the organic seas of Saturn's moon Titan, one of three proposals selected by NASA this week as candidates for the agency's next Discovery Program mission.

The Titan Mare Explorer, or TiME, would perform the first direct inspection of an ocean environment beyond Earth by landing in, and floating on, a large methane-ethane sea on the cloudy, complex moon. The mission would be led by principal investigator Ellen Stofan of Proxemy Research Inc. in Gaithersburg, Md. Lockheed Martin in Denver would build the TiME capsule, with scientific instruments provided by APL, Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., and Malin Space Science Systems in San Diego.
Also selected were a NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory lander that would study the Martian interior, and a NASA Goddard project to land on a comet multiple times and observe its interaction with the sun. Chosen from 28 full-mission proposals submitted to NASA last summer, each investigation team now receives $3 million to develop a detailed concept study. After another review of those studies in 2012, NASA will select one to develop for launch. The selected mission will be cost-capped at $425 million, not including launch vehicle funding.
APL also has a role on the NASA Goddard mission team, to provide a high-resolution telescopic camera for the "Comet Hopper" spacecraft.
"NASA's comment on the Discovery selection was, 'if ever there was a time to demonstrate being able to think differently, this is it,'" says John Sommerer, head of APL's Space Department. "It's 'common knowledge' that outer-planets missions are billion-dollar operations, but our team proposed a lander on Titan in the low-cost Discovery mission series. Coming off the success of both the MESSENGER mission to Mercury and the New Horizons mission now on its way to Pluto, it's clear that APL has met the challenge to think differently."
The TiME capsule would launch in 2016 and reach Titan in 2023, parachuting onto the moon's second-largest northern sea, the Ligeia Mare. For 96 days the capsule would study the composition and behavior of the sea and its interaction with Titan's weather and climate. TiME would also seek evidence of the complex organic chemistry that may be active on Titan today, and that may be similar to processes that led to the development of life on the early Earth.

Tell us the truth, already!
I'm glad the fiend Bin Laden is no more.
I'd have however gladly seen Bin Laden tried before an International Court like that of Aja. Why wasn't he caught alive? Why this hasty disposal of the body and this "we can't show you the photos, they're too horrible!" Pleeez! Give us a break!
If they wanted the conspiracy theorists to suspect foul play, they've given them plenty to ruminate upon.
Think of it:
India, a century ago. I say to my friemds I've captured and killed a much sought after man-eating tiger. "Show it to you? But I threw it in the river! A Photo? Nooo, they're too ugly, you'd be shocked! Doubt? Why should you?"
Why, indeed!
However, if the face of Bin Laden was blasted by a gun, well, I suppose there was little to see for reconnaissance,and would have been a nasty sight, for sure. Maybe this is the explanation.

Modernity: I'm all for it
I'll bet: the armies of the night, the haters of modernity does not rejoice at the end of Bin
Laden
Anti-modernist counted on that fiend to sweep away the hated (by them) modernity.
Religious fundamentalists, nostalgic fascists who yearn for the apocalyptic end of the world
cultural relativists who admire the "values" of the religions that hang homosexuals and
stone and oppress women.. Those who want to return to the Middle Ages dreaming of a role
of directors to the dictator, who will reward them with privileges denied to ordinary mortals.
Anti-modernist as so called christian Right, friends of Gingrich, Palin, gay haters and deniers of the separation between Church and State.
These anti-modernist take advantage of all the comforts of the modern world, and if they get sick
I doubt seriously that they'll recur to a holy man or rely on the power of
prayers: I think that they'll use the most advanced discoveries of modern medicine, as
Mother Teresa did. They take advantage of of the Web to spread their word obscurantist
enemy of human rights, but call upon those rights whenever they consider that their right to
spread obscurantism, homophobia and anti-scientism is disputed ... and call simple criticism persecution.
I have no sympathy for the anti-modernist, people who bite the hand that feeds them, and that will probably be
licking her feet kicking them should their dire predictions ever come true.
Modernity is not perfect, but the anti-modernist world is much worse.

The criminal against humanity Osama bin Laden is dead!
The innocent victims he made worldwide, beginning with the Twin Towers victims, are avenged!

Moscow Pride Wins City Approval
From Joe my god blog
For first time since 2006, Moscow city officials have approved a gay pride event. Last October the European Court of Human Rights ruled that Moscow had acted illegally when banning previous pride events. Those bannings came at the demand of anti-gay former Moscow Mayor Yury Luzhkov, who left office last year.
"The Moscow government told the Moscow gay pride parade organizers on Tuesday that the Moscow authorities have authorized a gay pride parade in Moscow," Alexeyev said in a statement released in Moscow. The organizers notified the Moscow government and the Moscow traffic police of their intention to hold a gay pride parade on April 12, he said. The rally entitled "Moscow Gay Pride Parade: Homosexuality in the History of World Culture and Civilization" will take place on May 28, Alexeyev said. The Moscow authorities have suggested reducing number of the rally participants to 500, which was done, he said.
