When I was in High School, I came up with a phrase...."speculation is suicide"....by that I really just meant "live in the present", live in reality, not by speculation of what might be the future. I haven't explored this site much, yet, but it seems somewhat highly speculative. Informed and educated speculation may have some validity. I do know this....one of the great symbols of the Mystery Schools is the Phoenix, which rises from it's own ashes....and the motto embossed on the cover of Morals and Dogma, is Ordo Ab Chao. We can speculate that the powers that be intend to bring about the chaos that will destroy the "Phoenix", or old order of things, in order to give birth to the New World Order. Ordo Ab Chao is an age old method that WORKS. Create a problem for which you have a preplanned solution.

This is the law: The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no possible
victory in defense. The sword is more important than the shield and skill
is more important than either. The final weapon is the brain. All else is
supplemental.
As John Steinbeck once said:
1. Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll
just kill you.
2. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.
3. I carry a gun cause a cop is too heavy.
4. When seconds count, the cops are just minutes away.
5. A reporter did a human interest piece on the Texas Rangers. The
reporter recognized the Colt Model 1911 the Ranger was carrying and asked
him, "Why carry a .45?". The Ranger responded with, "Because they don't
make a .46." * Credit to Retired Texas Ranger Joaquin (Waukeen) Jackson ,
Alpine, Texas .
6. An armed man will kill an unarmed man with monotonous regularity.
7. The old sheriff was attending an awards dinner when a lady commented on
his wearing his sidearm. "Sheriff, I see you have your pistol. Are you
expecting trouble?" "No Ma'am. If I were expecting trouble, I would have
brought my rifle."
8. Beware the man who only has one gun. HE PROBABLY KNOWS HOW TO USE IT!!!
Comments:
I was once asked by a lady visiting if I had a gun in the house. To which
I said I did. She said, "Well I certainly hope it isn't loaded!" To which
I said, "Of course it is loaded, can't work without bullets.." She then
asked, "Are you that afraid of someone evil coming into your house?" My
reply was, "No not at all. I am not afraid of the house catching fire
either, but I have fire extinguishers around, and THEY ARE ALL LOADED."
Parting note: An unloaded gun is just a club.
A woman from Austin , who was a tree hugger and anti-hunter, purchased
several acres of Hill Country land, near Lake Travis , Texas . There was a
huge tree on one of the highest points in the tract. She wanted to view
the natural splendor of her land, so she climbed the tree. As she neared
the top, she encountered a spotted owl. It attacked her! In her haste to
escape, the woman slid down the tree to the ground. The ensuing fall
incurred several splinters of wood in her crotch.
In considerable pain, she hurried to the nearest doctor, 35 minutes away.
She told him she was an environmentalist and anti-hunter and how she came
to receive all of the splinters. The doctor listened to her story with
great patience. He then told her to go into the examining room and he
would see if he could help. The impatient patient sat, and waited for
three hours before the doctor reappeared. The angry woman demanded, "What
took you so long?"
He smiled and said, "Well, I had to get permits from US Environmental
Service, the Texas Parks and Wildlife and Keep Texas Beautiful before I
could remove old-growth timber from a recreational area. I'm sorry, but

Barrett Tillman is an aviation author of note, he is researching WWII losses for a new book. These figures will surely give you pause.
For the new book I computed the AAF's average daily loss in combat for June '44: nearly 50 aircraft. Today if we lost that many in a year we'd probably park our air forces!

WWII Accident Stats
After the Camarillo accident a few of my acquaintances were wondering how 19 year olds mastered high performance fighters with little training during WWII. I looked into it and found some rather interesting figures. This same question was brought up in the P-51 Torque Roll discussion.
The short answer is they did what they needed to do and accepted the losses.
Unfortunately, it looks as if combat and accidents losses are usually
combined when overseas. The information below sheds some light on the accident losses. The info is from the Army Air Force Statistical Digest WWII published in Dec 45. According to it, thousands of aircraft were lost due to accidents.
In the Continental US between 1942 and Aug 1945 (see t214.pdf ) there were 824 P-51 accidents, 131 of those fatal resulting in 137 fatalities and 358 aircraft wrecked. The P-47 was much worse with 3049 accidents, 404 of those fatal with 455 fatalities and a staggering 1125 airplanes wrecked. This is just the beginning according to the table. If you add up all the accident losses on that table you get 47,462 accidents, 5533 of which were fatal resulting in 13,624 fatalities and 12,506 aircraft wrecked. Keep in mind this was just in the Continental US.
Also in the US looking at all AAF accidents from Dec 41 to Aug 45 (see
t213.pdf ) there were 52,651 accidents, 6039 of those fatal resulting in 14,903 deaths and 13,873 aircraft wrecked.
Branching out overseas gets difficult. As I mentioned previously, I can not find combat losses verses accidents. I also can not find specific type losses. But if you look at Airplane Losses in US and Overseas (t099.pdf ) you will see that page two breaks out the Continental US verses overseas. There were a total of 43,581 losses overseas and 21,583 losses in the US. Keep in mind this includes combat losses but I can almost guarantee nearly all the 21,583 Continental US losses were accidents. The Continental US does
not include AK and HI, the only places in North America that had direct combat with the Axis.
While en route from the US to the theater, 909 planes were lost (t108.pdf ).
Airplane losses on combat mission by theater (t158.pdf ) states a total of 22,948 aircraft were lost during combat. If we subtract this from the 43,581 total overseas losses figure above, we get 20,633 aircraft lost not during combat.
I found these figures absolutely overwhelming and much more than I ever would have thought. Total losses due to accidents for WWII may never be know, or at least it is beyond my researching skills, but I do think it was in the thousands. Gives me even more appreciation for that generation.
On a lighter note, here are some other figures just for fun....

459,750,000 round of ammo expended overseas from Jan 42 to Aug 45

BRAD JOHNSON Montana Secretary of State Helena, Mont. Montana, the Second Amendment and D.C. v. Heller"
District of Columbia v. Heller,
Does a "collective rights" view of the Second Amendment breach Montana's contract for statehood?
The United States Supreme Court (herinafter "Court") will soon consider D.C. v. Heller, on appeal from the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals. The Court has agreed to resolve the narrow issue of “Whether D.C. laws violate the Second Amendment rights of individuals who are not affiliated with any state regulated militia, but who wish to keep handguns and other firearms for private use in their homes.”
Although having narrowed the question under consideration, the Court must necessarily decide whether the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution secures an individual right to keep and bear arms, or a collective right for states to arm their National Guards (first created by the U.S. National Government in the early 20th Century-GONJ)
Viewing this question from the perspective of diverse citizens, the current state of law is different, depending on where the citizen lives. The various Federal Circuit Courts of Appeals have ruled differently on this question, causing the Second Amendment to mean something quite different for a person residing in San Diego, California than it does for a person residing in San Diego, Texas. To resolve this difference is at least part of what will result from the Court's consideration of Heller.
About the facts in Heller much has been written. It is not necessary to reproduce that discussion here.
What is important here is that what the Court rules in Heller will have import far beyond the narrow focus of the Court's declared intent. The Court's ruling will have an impact on all states, and upon all people living those states. It is the purpose of this essay to disclose one considerable impact that may not be apparent unless this argument is advanced to the Court.
Although the argument made here is specific to the State of Montana, this argument may be valid for most, if not all, other states.
Synopsis of argument
A collective right interpretation of the Second Amendment by the Court would breach Montana's Compact with the United States, a contract entered into in 1889, a time when no authority seriously held a collective right view and therefore no part of the intent of the contracting parties.
Compact with the United States
When Montana entered into statehood, that event was accomplished via the legal mechanism of the Compact with the United States, now preserved at Article I of the Montana Constitution [1]. Other documents which will enter into this discussion include the Organic Act[2], the Enabling Act[3], Ordinance 1[4], and the Proclamation of Montana statehood by President Harrison[5].
Montana's Compact with the United States (hereinafter "Compact") is a bilateral, written contract or agreement that binds the parties thereto.
Compact defined: Bouvier's, 1839[6]; Bouvier's,
1856[7]; Webster's, 1884[8]; and Black's, 1910[9]. "The terms 'compact' and 'contract' are synonymous. Green v. Biddle, 8 Wheat. 1, 92, 5 L, ed. 547."
The only difference between a compact and a contract in any reasonable usage of the terms as they apply here is that a compact is more generally an agreement between or among states.
Montana's Compact shares many points in common with usual, bilateral contracts. It includes competent parties, subject matter, legal considerations, mutuality of agreement, and mutuality of obligation.
In this context, the term compact also has considerable overlap with the term "treaty." For some aspects of consideration of the effect of a compact, treaties are more nearly analogous, because treaties are always between nations or states, or the treaty-making authorities of nations or states. Further, treaties often contemplate a longer time span than usual contracts, as does Montana's Compact.
Treaty defined: Black's, 1910[10]; and Bouvier's.
1856[11]. It is a bedrock principle of contract interpretation that contracts must be interpreted so as to give credence to the intent of the contracting parties. This principle is so well established as to need no elaboration here. The same principle applies to treaties.
From Bouvier's Law Dictionary of 1914, "Treaties should be liberally construed, so as to carry out the apparent intention of the parties to secure equality and reciprocity between them; Geofroy v. Riggs, 133 U.S. 258, 10 Sup. Ct. 295, 33 L. Ed. 642. When made with an Indian tribe its words are to be construed as an Indian would understand them; Jones v. Meehan, 175 U,S, 1, 20, Sup. Ct. 1, 44 L. Ed. 49." and "While they are to be liberally construed, they are to be read in the light of conditions existing when entered into, with a view to effecting the objects of the parties; Rocca v. Thompson, 223 U.S.
317, 32 Sup. Ct. 207, 56 L. Ed. 453."
Intent of the parties
When Montana entered into statehood and adopted the Compact as a part of the Montana Constitution of 1889[12], included was a provision guaranteeing the right to bear arms to "any person."[13]. The right to bear arms reservation was at Article III, Section 13 of the 1889 Montana Constitution.
This was exactly the same language as used in the territorial Montana Constitution of 1884[14]. The language was unchanged in the revision and readoption of the Montana Constitution in 1972, with the RKBA provision being lodged at Article II, Section 12[15].
To be clear, the wording of the right to bear arms reservation in the Montana constitution is exactly the same today as it was in
1884, and as it was in 1889 upon adoption of the Compact. This reservation of right clearly and unambiguously contemplates an individual right for "any person," language that simply cannot be respun to somehow mean a right of state government. As the Montana Supreme Court has said, the individual rights reserved by the people to themselves in the Montana Constitution are specifically a direct bar to government actors. (St. v. Long, 216 M
65, 700 P2d 153, 42 St. Rep. 643 (1985)) This is contradictory to a theory that when the people of Montana reserved themselves this right they somehow meant to confer authority to government actors.
Militia Act of 1903 was the beginning of the National Guard and directed the federalization of the National Guard. "The National Defense Act of 1916 … transformed the militia from individual state forces into a Reserve Component of the U..S. Army - and made the term 'National Guard' mandatory".[16] Since the National Guard was not invented or authorized until after 1900, there could have been no understanding in 1889 that the purpose of the Second Amendment was to authorize the states to arm the National Guard.
According to the Organic Act [2], the people of the Montana Territory were required to devise a constitution that met certain requirements in order for Montana to become eligible for statehood. Therefore, Congress, acting as agent for the several states, had full opportunity to review the proposed Montana Constitution as a result of passing the Enabling Act (February 22, 1889)[3] that allowed Montana to become a state.
That is, Congress knew full well that the people of Montana had reserved the right of "any person" to bear arms, and found that reservation not inconsistent with the federal system and the Second Amendment. "It is further to be observed that treaties are the subject of careful consideration before they are entered into, and are drawn by persons competent to express their meaning, and to choose apt words in which to embody the purposes of the high contracting parties." (Rocca v. Thompson, 223 U.S.
317, 32 Sup. Ct. 207, 56 L. Ed. 453.)
Further, before Montana was allowed statehood, and as a part of the contract, the Montana territorial legislature, on behalf of the people of Montana, was required to approve Ordinance 1[4]. In its fifth paragraph, Ordinance 1 declared, " Fifth. That on behalf of the people of Montana, we in convention assembled, do adopt the Constitution of the United States." This adoption was on February 22nd, 1889. Certainly, the Second Amendment, in the exact same verbiage as it occurs today, was a part of the "Constitution of The United States" that was adopted and accepted by Montana in 1889 via Ordinance 1.
In the proclamation of Montana statehood, by President Benjamin Harrison, dated November 8, 1889[5], he specified that Montana had been required to prepare and adopt a constitution that "not be repugnant to the Constitution of the United States …" Further, he declared, "Now, therefore, I, Benjamin Harrison, President of The United States of America, do, in accordance with the provisions of the act of Congress aforesaid, declare and proclaim the fact that the conditions imposed by Congress on the State of Montana to entitle that State to admission to the Union have been ratified and accepted and that the admission of the said State into the Union is now complete." It was accepted in contract that in Montana, "any person" had the right to bear arms.
Conclusion
In 1889, Montana and the other several states entered into a contract - struck a bargain. That contract was reduced to writing and is found today as Montana's Compact with the United States and is recorded at Article I of the Montana Constitution. In that contract, via adoption of the corollary and required Ordinance 1, Montana adopted the U.S. Constitution, definitely including the Second Amendment. Congress and the President, acting as agents for the states, allowed Montana into the union contingent upon Montana proffering an acceptable state constitution. That constitution, as it was accepted by Congress and the President, included the reservation of the right of "any person" to bear arms, a clearly individual right maintained and asserted today in exactly the same verbiage used in 1889.
There is no question that the contract into which Montana entered for statehood was predicated upon an understanding that the people of Montana would benefit from an individual and personal right to bear arms, protected from governmental interference by both the Federal and Montana Constitutions. That was the clear intent of the parties to the contract.
Therefore, any holding that the Second Amendment merely gives the power to the state to arm its National Guard would violate Montana's contract, because it would be in conflict with the intent of the parties of the contract at the time the parties entered into that contract.
Some speak of a "living constitution,"the meaning of which may evolve and change over time. However, the concept of a "living contract," one to be disregarded or revised at the whim of one party thereto, is unknown. A collective rights holding in Heller would not only open the Pandora's box of unilaterally morphing contracts, it would also poise Montana to claim appropriate and historically entrenched remedies for contract violation.

Here's a long rant. I think that you'll find this interesting. Some articles, quotes, and commentary......As William Cooper said on his historic broadcast.. "....Ahh, Ahh, Ahh, before you bite into that tasty steak, you might want to listen to this episode of The Hour of the Time...."

You have seen the e-mails I have sent out over the last several years...I've been telling you that the problem is much worse than we are being told. This "isolated" incident brings this information to the surface in the mainstream press.
"Every single animal must past antemortem inspection before it's presented for slaughter, so only healthy animals are going to pass," she said. "We do have continuous inspection at slaughter facilities."
".....The Department of Agriculture refused yesterday to allow ...."
...direct contradiction...
http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9F04E6DB1338F933A25757C0A9629C8B63
Similarly, Janet Riley, a spokeswoman for the American Meat Institute, defended the meatpacking industry's safety record. "It is interesting to keep in mind how heavily regulated we are," she said. "Nobody has this level of inspection."
Japan?
"That policy places slaughterhouses on an honor system that can lead to abuse in an industry that thrives on close attention to costs"
Just a few days ago, I mentioned that the system is designed to protect the industry and NOT the people. The people of this country mean nothing to the powers that be....cattle....to be slaughtered. (Or driven "mad")
“BSE (Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy) is a new disease in this country, and Americans are justifiably concerned about its discovery here,” said Commissioner Douglass. “However, that concern should be directed toward the economic impact this disease could have on our farmers, not the perceived danger to human health. "
http://www.wvagriculture.org/news_releases/2003/12-30-03.htm
"Generally, downer cows - those too sickly to stand, even with coaxing - are banned from the food supply under federal regulations."
By the time the cow is a "downer" it is completely infected..... it has been sick for a very long time. What it is carrying, it has probably been infected with it for years.
Remember that the incubation period, or the length of time until symptoms appear, is shorter than the life span of a beef cattle. That's why I predicted that the first BSE infected cow would be in a dairy farm. Simple logic. The dairy cows are kept as long as they are productive. The BSE infected cow would never have been noticed if the cow had not gone "down". Though it carried the prion, symptoms didn't show until the cow was quite old.
I initially imagined that the problem was confined to beef only. I soon began to realize that the protein from downer cows was being returned to the food chain by rendering plants.

Scrapie has been known from the eighteenth century, but modern feeding practices may present a problem. In the eighteenth century, scrapie may not have transfered to other species, but they also didn't commonly feed the animals..... sick animals. Feed a scrapie infected sheep to a cow and ....well, you get the picture.

BRAD JOHNSON Montana Secretary of State Helena, Mont. Montana, the Second Amendment and D.C. v. Heller"
District of Columbia v. Heller,
Does a "collective rights" view of the Second Amendment breach Montana's contract for statehood?
The United States Supreme Court (herinafter "Court") will soon consider D.C. v. Heller, on appeal from the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals. The Court has agreed to resolve the narrow issue of “Whether D.C. laws violate the Second Amendment rights of individuals who are not affiliated with any state regulated militia, but who wish to keep handguns and other firearms for private use in their homes.”
Although having narrowed the question under consideration, the Court must necessarily decide whether the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution secures an individual right to keep and bear arms, or a collective right for states to arm their National Guards (first created by the U.S. National Government in the early 20th Century-GONJ)
Viewing this question from the perspective of diverse citizens, the current state of law is different, depending on where the citizen lives. The various Federal Circuit Courts of Appeals have ruled differently on this question, causing the Second Amendment to mean something quite different for a person residing in San Diego, California than it does for a person residing in San Diego, Texas. To resolve this difference is at least part of what will result from the Court's consideration of Heller.
About the facts in Heller much has been written. It is not necessary to reproduce that discussion here.
What is important here is that what the Court rules in Heller will have import far beyond the narrow focus of the Court's declared intent. The Court's ruling will have an impact on all states, and upon all people living those states. It is the purpose of this essay to disclose one considerable impact that may not be apparent unless this argument is advanced to the Court.
Although the argument made here is specific to the State of Montana, this argument may be valid for most, if not all, other states.
Synopsis of argument
A collective right interpretation of the Second Amendment by the Court would breach Montana's Compact with the United States, a contract entered into in 1889, a time when no authority seriously held a collective right view and therefore no part of the intent of the contracting parties.
Compact with the United States
When Montana entered into statehood, that event was accomplished via the legal mechanism of the Compact with the United States, now preserved at Article I of the Montana Constitution [1]. Other documents which will enter into this discussion include the Organic Act[2], the Enabling Act[3], Ordinance 1[4], and the Proclamation of Montana statehood by President Harrison[5].
Montana's Compact with the United States (hereinafter "Compact") is a bilateral, written contract or agreement that binds the parties thereto.
Compact defined: Bouvier's, 1839[6]; Bouvier's,
1856[7]; Webster's, 1884[8]; and Black's, 1910[9]. "The terms 'compact' and 'contract' are synonymous. Green v. Biddle, 8 Wheat. 1, 92, 5 L, ed. 547."
The only difference between a compact and a contract in any reasonable usage of the terms as they apply here is that a compact is more generally an agreement between or among states.
Montana's Compact shares many points in common with usual, bilateral contracts. It includes competent parties, subject matter, legal considerations, mutuality of agreement, and mutuality of obligation.
In this context, the term compact also has considerable overlap with the term "treaty." For some aspects of consideration of the effect of a compact, treaties are more nearly analogous, because treaties are always between nations or states, or the treaty-making authorities of nations or states. Further, treaties often contemplate a longer time span than usual contracts, as does Montana's Compact.
Treaty defined: Black's, 1910[10]; and Bouvier's.
1856[11]. It is a bedrock principle of contract interpretation that contracts must be interpreted so as to give credence to the intent of the contracting parties. This principle is so well established as to need no elaboration here. The same principle applies to treaties.
From Bouvier's Law Dictionary of 1914, "Treaties should be liberally construed, so as to carry out the apparent intention of the parties to secure equality and reciprocity between them; Geofroy v. Riggs, 133 U.S. 258, 10 Sup. Ct. 295, 33 L. Ed. 642. When made with an Indian tribe its words are to be construed as an Indian would understand them; Jones v. Meehan, 175 U,S, 1, 20, Sup. Ct. 1, 44 L. Ed. 49." and "While they are to be liberally construed, they are to be read in the light of conditions existing when entered into, with a view to effecting the objects of the parties; Rocca v. Thompson, 223 U.S.
317, 32 Sup. Ct. 207, 56 L. Ed. 453."
Intent of the parties
When Montana entered into statehood and adopted the Compact as a part of the Montana Constitution of 1889[12], included was a provision guaranteeing the right to bear arms to "any person."[13]. The right to bear arms reservation was at Article III, Section 13 of the 1889 Montana Constitution.
This was exactly the same language as used in the territorial Montana Constitution of 1884[14]. The language was unchanged in the revision and readoption of the Montana Constitution in 1972, with the RKBA provision being lodged at Article II, Section 12[15].
To be clear, the wording of the right to bear arms reservation in the Montana constitution is exactly the same today as it was in
1884, and as it was in 1889 upon adoption of the Compact. This reservation of right clearly and unambiguously contemplates an individual right for "any person," language that simply cannot be respun to somehow mean a right of state government. As the Montana Supreme Court has said, the individual rights reserved by the people to themselves in the Montana Constitution are specifically a direct bar to government actors. (St. v. Long, 216 M
65, 700 P2d 153, 42 St. Rep. 643 (1985)) This is contradictory to a theory that when the people of Montana reserved themselves this right they somehow meant to confer authority to government actors.
Militia Act of 1903 was the beginning of the National Guard and directed the federalization of the National Guard. "The National Defense Act of 1916 … transformed the militia from individual state forces into a Reserve Component of the U..S. Army - and made the term 'National Guard' mandatory".[16] Since the National Guard was not invented or authorized until after 1900, there could have been no understanding in 1889 that the purpose of the Second Amendment was to authorize the states to arm the National Guard.
According to the Organic Act [2], the people of the Montana Territory were required to devise a constitution that met certain requirements in order for Montana to become eligible for statehood. Therefore, Congress, acting as agent for the several states, had full opportunity to review the proposed Montana Constitution as a result of passing the Enabling Act (February 22, 1889)[3] that allowed Montana to become a state.
That is, Congress knew full well that the people of Montana had reserved the right of "any person" to bear arms, and found that reservation not inconsistent with the federal system and the Second Amendment. "It is further to be observed that treaties are the subject of careful consideration before they are entered into, and are drawn by persons competent to express their meaning, and to choose apt words in which to embody the purposes of the high contracting parties." (Rocca v. Thompson, 223 U.S.
317, 32 Sup. Ct. 207, 56 L. Ed. 453.)
Further, before Montana was allowed statehood, and as a part of the contract, the Montana territorial legislature, on behalf of the people of Montana, was required to approve Ordinance 1[4]. In its fifth paragraph, Ordinance 1 declared, " Fifth. That on behalf of the people of Montana, we in convention assembled, do adopt the Constitution of the United States." This adoption was on February 22nd, 1889. Certainly, the Second Amendment, in the exact same verbiage as it occurs today, was a part of the "Constitution of The United States" that was adopted and accepted by Montana in 1889 via Ordinance 1.
In the proclamation of Montana statehood, by President Benjamin Harrison, dated November 8, 1889[5], he specified that Montana had been required to prepare and adopt a constitution that "not be repugnant to the Constitution of the United States …" Further, he declared, "Now, therefore, I, Benjamin Harrison, President of The United States of America, do, in accordance with the provisions of the act of Congress aforesaid, declare and proclaim the fact that the conditions imposed by Congress on the State of Montana to entitle that State to admission to the Union have been ratified and accepted and that the admission of the said State into the Union is now complete." It was accepted in contract that in Montana, "any person" had the right to bear arms.
Conclusion
In 1889, Montana and the other several states entered into a contract - struck a bargain. That contract was reduced to writing and is found today as Montana's Compact with the United States and is recorded at Article I of the Montana Constitution. In that contract, via adoption of the corollary and required Ordinance 1, Montana adopted the U.S. Constitution, definitely including the Second Amendment. Congress and the President, acting as agents for the states, allowed Montana into the union contingent upon Montana proffering an acceptable state constitution. That constitution, as it was accepted by Congress and the President, included the reservation of the right of "any person" to bear arms, a clearly individual right maintained and asserted today in exactly the same verbiage used in 1889.
There is no question that the contract into which Montana entered for statehood was predicated upon an understanding that the people of Montana would benefit from an individual and personal right to bear arms, protected from governmental interference by both the Federal and Montana Constitutions. That was the clear intent of the parties to the contract.
Therefore, any holding that the Second Amendment merely gives the power to the state to arm its National Guard would violate Montana's contract, because it would be in conflict with the intent of the parties of the contract at the time the parties entered into that contract.
Some speak of a "living constitution,"the meaning of which may evolve and change over time. However, the concept of a "living contract," one to be disregarded or revised at the whim of one party thereto, is unknown. A collective rights holding in Heller would not only open the Pandora's box of unilaterally morphing contracts, it would also poise Montana to claim appropriate and historically entrenched remedies for contract violation.

You have seen the e-mails I have sent out over the last several years...I've been telling you that the problem is much worse than we are being told. This "isolated" incident brings this information to the surface in the mainstream press.
"Every single animal must past antemortem inspection before it's presented for slaughter, so only healthy animals are going to pass," she said. "We do have continuous inspection at slaughter facilities."
".....The Department of Agriculture refused yesterday to allow ...."
...direct contradiction...
http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9F04E6DB1338F933A25757C0A9629C8B63
Similarly, Janet Riley, a spokeswoman for the American Meat Institute, defended the meatpacking industry's safety record. "It is interesting to keep in mind how heavily regulated we are," she said. "Nobody has this level of inspection."
Japan?
"That policy places slaughterhouses on an honor system that can lead to abuse in an industry that thrives on close attention to costs"
Just a few days ago, I mentioned that the system is designed to protect the industry and NOT the people. The people of this country mean nothing to the powers that be....cattle....to be slaughtered. (Or driven "mad")
“BSE (Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy) is a new disease in this country, and Americans are justifiably concerned about its discovery here,” said Commissioner Douglass. “However, that concern should be directed toward the economic impact this disease could have on our farmers, not the perceived danger to human health. "
http://www.wvagriculture.org/news_releases/2003/12-30-03.htm
"Generally, downer cows - those too sickly to stand, even with coaxing - are banned from the food supply under federal regulations."
By the time the cow is a "downer" it is completely infected..... it has been sick for a very long time. What it is carrying, it has probably been infected with it for years.
Remember that the incubation period, or the length of time until symptoms appear, is shorter than the life span of a beef cattle. That's why I predicted that the first BSE infected cow would be in a dairy farm. Simple logic. The dairy cows are kept as long as they are productive. The BSE infected cow would never have been noticed if the cow had not gone "down". Though it carried the prion, symptoms didn't show until the cow was quite old.
I initially imagined that the problem was confined to beef only. I soon began to realize that the protein from downer cows was being returned to the food chain by rendering plants. William Cooper brought this to my attention. A caller mentioned a human femur in a delivery to a rendering plant. The animal protein rendered at these plants may come from a number of sources. Investigate it! Find a feed sack for laying hens and you will find listed in the ingredients "animal protein". Period. Imagine where "animal protein" comes from.

Of course, the "incubation period", or amount of time it takes for symptoms to show can be ten years or longer. That's not to say the animals may not be contaminated.

When unlimited and unrestricted by individual rights, a government is man's deadliest enemy.

But in the wake of a string of reports that the country is fast becoming a failed state and a humanitarian disaster, as armed attacks on western troops and Afghan forces multiply and Nato splits down the middle over sending reinforcements, that looks ever more other-worldly.

After a conflict that has already lasted longer than the second world war, Paddy Ashdown, rejected at the last minute as UN proconsul in Kabul, was clearly closer to the mark than Brown when he declared: "We are losing in Afghanistan."

That's a shame, because Wilson's two terms in office provide the clearest historical window into the soul of progressivism. Wilson's racism, his ideological rigidity, and his antipathy toward the Constitution were all products of the progressive world view. And since "progressivism" is suddenly in vogue – today's leading Democrats proudly wear the label – it's worth actually reviewing what progressivism was and what actually happened under the last full-throated progressive president.
The record should give sober pause to anyone who's mesmerized by the progressive promise.
Wilson, like the bulk of progressive intellectuals in fin-de-siècle America, was deeply influenced by three strands of thought: philosophical Pragmatism, Hegelianism, and Darwinism. This heady intellectual cocktail produced a drunken arrogance and the conviction that the old rules no longer applied.

As a United States Congressman, I take my oath to uphold all of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights very seriously. Unfortunately, too many in Washington DC believe they can pick-and-choose which provisions of the constitution they can uphold. For example, many politicians, judges, and bureaucrats believe they have the power to disregard our right to own guns, even though the second amendment explicitly guarantees the people's right to "keep and bear arms."
Like the Founding Fathers, I believe that the right to keep and bear arms is fundamental to a free society. Where law-abiding citizens are most freely allowed to defend themselves, communities are safer, while crime rises when law-abiding people's access to firearms is restricted. Gun laws only disarm those who respect the law. Those with criminal tendencies do not turn in their weapons and reform their ways because government bureaucrats enact statutes that tell them to. Gun control laws turn peaceful citizens into sitting ducks for criminals to prey upon.

Vehicle licensing fees in Washington State could spike dramatically, all in the name of global warming. Six Seattle Democrats in the state Senate are trying to push through a bill that would require the Department of Licensing to collect a greenhouse gas tax. Sponsors say the tax in Senate Bill 6923 is an effective way to fight global warming by giving the state more money to fund transportation alternatives. If it passes, there will be an extra tax on your yearly license tab fees, based on EPA estimated miles per gallon your vehicle gets. The bill states vehicles getting below 15 miles per gallon will be charged between $200 and $240 extra every year. Vehicles that get between 15 and 25 miles per gallon, will pay $100 to $180 dollars extra every year. Vehicles getting over 26 miles per gallon, will pay between $40 and $100 extra every year.

If John McCain's online bio is correct, can he even be president? I posit that he cannot. He is listed as being born in the Panama Canal Zone. The PCZ was never under the jurisdiction of the United States but rather, it was leased to the United States.
That said, check out what the U.S. Constitution says about presidential eligibility at Article II, Section 1, Clause 5:
"No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty five years, and been fourteen Years a resident within the United States. "
If John McCain was born outside the jurisdiction of the United States, then he is NOT a natural born citizen no matter what his parents or he signed him up for after his birth! He can be a senator but he CANNOT be eligible for president. The same holds true for Arnold Schwarzenegger who would love to be president.
as well.
Now if McCain IS elected and sworn in as president it will be unconstitutional. But what the heck, we don't seem to be willing to demand that the Constitution (federal or state) be honored anyway!

U.S. money for Russia is linked to Iran nuclear plant
"What policy logic justifies DOE funding Russian institutes which are providing nuclear technology to Iran?"
The United States government is always in the process of creating our future enemies. It is only logical in this sense. It is a process that has worked over and over again, from financial, technological, and food aid to the Soviet Union, Nazi Germany, Saddam Hussein, and nearly every other "enemy" we have ever had. It is the chaos that is created that benefits the "National Security", because it is really all about people control, and nothing "secures" the "homeland" better than a good old fashioned THREAT!

But in the wake of a string of reports that the country is fast becoming a failed state and a humanitarian disaster, as armed attacks on western troops and Afghan forces multiply and Nato splits down the middle over sending reinforcements, that looks ever more other-worldly. The US coordinator on Iraq, David Satterfield, even suggested last month that Iraq would turn out to be America's "good war", while Afghanistan was going "bad". After a conflict that has already lasted longer than the second world war, Paddy Ashdown, rejected at the last minute as UN proconsul in Kabul, was clearly closer to the mark than Brown when he declared: "We are losing in Afghanistan."

That's a shame, because Wilson's two terms in office provide the clearest historical window into the soul of progressivism. Wilson's racism, his ideological rigidity, and his antipathy toward the Constitution were all products of the progressive world view. And since "progressivism" is suddenly in vogue – today's leading Democrats proudly wear the label – it's worth actually reviewing what progressivism was and what actually happened under the last full-throated progressive president.
The record should give sober pause to anyone who's mesmerized by the progressive promise.
Wilson, like the bulk of progressive intellectuals in fin-de-siècle America, was deeply influenced by three strands of thought: philosophical Pragmatism, Hegelianism, and Darwinism. This heady intellectual cocktail produced a drunken arrogance and the conviction that the old rules no longer applied.

As a United States Congressman, I take my oath to uphold all of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights very seriously. Unfortunately, too many in Washington DC believe they can pick-and-choose which provisions of the constitution they can uphold. For example, many politicians, judges, and bureaucrats believe they have the power to disregard our right to own guns, even though the second amendment explicitly guarantees the people's right to "keep and bear arms."
Like the Founding Fathers, I believe that the right to keep and bear arms is fundamental to a free society. Where law-abiding citizens are most freely allowed to defend themselves, communities are safer, while crime rises when law-abiding people's access to firearms is restricted. Gun laws only disarm those who respect the law. Those with criminal tendencies do not turn in their weapons and reform their ways because government bureaucrats enact statutes that tell them to. Gun control laws turn peaceful citizens into sitting ducks for criminals to prey upon.

Vehicle licensing fees in Washington State could spike dramatically, all in the name of global warming. Six Seattle Democrats in the state Senate are trying to push through a bill that would require the Department of Licensing to collect a greenhouse gas tax. Sponsors say the tax in Senate Bill 6923 is an effective way to fight global warming by giving the state more money to fund transportation alternatives. If it passes, there will be an extra tax on your yearly license tab fees, based on EPA estimated miles per gallon your vehicle gets. The bill states vehicles getting below 15 miles per gallon will be charged between $200 and $240 extra every year. Vehicles that get between 15 and 25 miles per gallon, will pay $100 to $180 dollars extra every year. Vehicles getting over 26 miles per gallon, will pay between $40 and $100 extra every year.

If John McCain's online bio is correct, can he even be president? I posit that he cannot. He is listed as being born in the Panama Canal Zone. The PCZ was never under the jurisdiction of the United States but rather, it was leased to the United States.
That said, check out what the U.S. Constitution says about presidential eligibility at Article II, Section 1, Clause 5:
"No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty five years, and been fourteen Years a resident within the United States. "
If John McCain was born outside the jurisdiction of the United States, then he is NOT a natural born citizen no matter what his parents or he signed him up for after his birth! He can be a senator but he CANNOT be eligible for president. The same holds true for Arnold Schwarzenegger who would love to be president.
as well.
Now if McCain IS elected and sworn in as president it will be unconstitutional. But what the heck, we don't seem to be willing to demand that the Constitution (federal or state) be honored anyway!

The new chief of the Hungarian secret services, who spent six years at the KGB's academy in Moscow during the 1980s, has become chairman of NATO's intelligence committee, a development that diplomats said could compromise the security of the alliance.
Sandor Laborc, 49, was personally chosen by Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsany of Hungary as director of the country's counterintelligence National Security Office in December, after a bitter dispute between the governing coalition led by the Socialists - the former Communists - and the main opposition party, Fidesz.

09 Dec 07
Well yesterday was quite an adventurous day and went to prove that skills, training and the right equipment are essential for any task to be successful.
A friend of mine, John, and I went for a hunting adventure that will not soon be forgot. We started off at approximately 9000 feet of elevation at 1030 Hrs. on a windy, snowy day and ended up back in Eagar, 13 inches of snow later with quite a story. I won’t try to relay all of the adventures here because the purpose of this short story is to give you an idea of the conditions we faced and how easily and with how much fun we got through it all.
The temperature was 0 degrees Fahrenheit and the wind never got BELOW 40 miles an hour all day. We headed off the top of some ridges in search of Elk for my family, which includes an Elk dinner for the conference attendees. Now if you weren’t aware, when the wind is howling and fresh storms move in, the animal’s bed down and hold out until the storm ends. This makes the scouting all the more difficult and the conditions don’t help that point at all. We headed first to the top of a ridge and as expected the binoculars were useless because they magnify the snow just as much as everything else. Within the first hour we had only covered 2 miles and were the wonderful recipients of 4 inches of snow so far. We then stumbled upon some elk tracks to add to the already discovered deer and turkey and were on our way. We traversed four more ridges and three valleys to get to the top of a knobby peak we knew was to the North that would give us a vantage point if the snow stopped. We did all of this through terrain feature navigation and the position of the sun because we had done our research and studied the area on maps beforehand. Also, by using the terrain features effectively one can travel with a lot less exertion and keep the wind to their back most of the time.
Once on the knobby peak we were faced with even higher winds and more aggressive snow flurries and still useless binoculars. Needless to say, the decision was made quickly to build a fire (if something as large as what we had can be called a fire) and hold out until a break in the storm. Remember, we are building a fire on a mountain peak in 40+ mph winds and snow, which was now pushing 8 inches in depth. Through proper selection of kindling and wood types it only took one match and we had a blaze going that soon dried our clothing, lifted our spirits and had us sitting 4 feet away to keep from burning up ourselves. Just so you can fully get an idea of what a task this fire was to build with one match, it had rained the previous three days before this storm! While we waited for a break in the storm, we pulled some jerky from our “possibles bag”, melted snow with help from our belt survival kit and had food and drink. While we waited for breaks in the storm we ate, drank fresh water and visited about all manner of subjects. I know this is a foreign thing to much of the “civilized” world today but it used to be referred to as camaraderie, or fun depending on whom you are. When there was a break in the snow we finally got to put the binoculars to use and “glass” the ridges and valley’s for game, all the time reconfirming our position based on terrain. About 4:30 we decided to head down knowing the sun wasn’t going to last much longer (a moot point because of our belt kit contents) and proceeded to town. That’s right, we walked through these conditions which culminated in 13 inches of snow, 9 miles of travel, enjoyed the day and were successful in all that we had ventured out to accomplish. Then just decided to go the rest of the way to town and catch a ride home.
The points I want to re-enforce in this story are these:
1) Not once did I ever fear for my life or even worry whatsoever.
2) We accomplished everything we had started out to do.
3) I had a ton of fun and strengthened an already excellent friendship.
This can be attributed to: skills, training, proper selection of components, ease of use and carry of those components while utilizing the tools around us in our environment.
One more point to stress here is that all of this has been taught at HOTT Conferences and will be re-enforced and expanded upon during our HOTT Conference 2008!

Hypothetical attack on U.S. outlined by China
By Patrick Winn - Staff writer
Posted : Sunday Jan 27, 2008 8:48:29 EST
In a hypothetical future scenario, the U.S. and China are poised to clash — likely over Taiwan.
The democratic Republic of China, commonly called Taiwan — which America backs and the communist People’s Republic of China considers part of its territory — frequently irritates Chinese leaders with calls for greater independence from the mainland. But while the American military mulls its options, Chinese missiles hit runways, fuel lines, barracks and supply depots at U.S. Air Force bases in Japan and South Korea. Long-range warheads destroy American satellites, crippling Air Force surveillance and communication networks. A nuclear fireball erupts high above the Pacific Ocean, ionizing the atmosphere and scrambling radars and radio feeds.
This is China’s anti-U.S. sucker punch strategy.
It’s designed to strike America’s military suddenly, stunning and stalling the Air Force more than any other service. In a script written by Chinese military officers and defense analysts, a bruised U.S. military, beholden to a sheepish American public, puts up a small fight before slinking off to avoid full-on war.
This strategic outlook isn’t hidden in secret Chinese documents. It’s printed in China’s military journals and textbooks. And for much of last year, Mandarin literates and defense experts — working for the Santa Monica, Calif.-based Rand Corp. on an Air Force contract — combed through a range of Chinese military sources.
They emerged with “Entering the Dragon’s Lair,” a lengthy report on how the Chinese People’s Liberation Army would likely confront the U.S. military and how the Air Force in particular can brace itself. In many cases, the theoretical enemy nation China’s officers discuss in these scenarios isn’t explicitly named but is unmistakably the U.S.
“These aren’t war plans,” said report co-author Roger Cliff, a former Defense Department strategist and China military specialist who spoke to Air Force Times from Taiwan. “This is the military talking to itself. It’s not designed for foreigners or even China’s general public to read.”
Element of surprise
When it comes to conflict with the U.S., Chinese military analysts favor age-old schoolyard wisdom: Throw the first punch and hit hard.
“Future conflicts are likely to be short, intense affairs that might consist of a single campaign,” Cliff said. “They’re thinking about ways to get the drop on us. Most of our force is not forward-deployed.”
China’s experts concede its army would lose a head-on fight, with one senior colonel comparing such a scenario to “throwing an egg against a rock.” Instead, the Chinese would attempt what Rand calls an “anti-access” strategy: slowing the deployment of U.S. forces to the Pacific theater, damaging operations within the region and forcing the U.S. to fight from a distance.
“Taking the enemy by surprise,” one Chinese military expert wrote, “would catch it unprepared and cause confusion within and huge psychological pressure on the enemy and help [China] win relatively large victories at relatively small costs.” Another military volume suggests feigning a large-scale military training exercise to conceal the attack’s buildup.
The Dragon’s Lair
Striking U.S. air bases — specifically command-and-control facilities, aircraft hangars and surface-to-air missile launchers — would be China’s first priority if a conflict arose, according to Rand’s report.
U.S. facilities in South Korea and Japan, even far-south Okinawa, sit within what Rand calls the “Dragon’s Lair”: a swath of land and sea along China’s coast. This is an area reachable by cruise missiles, jet-borne precision bombs and local covert operatives. Air Force bases within this area include Osan and Kunsan in South Korea, as well as Misawa, Yokota and Kadena in Japan. And in a conflict over Taiwan, any nation allowing “an intervening superpower” such as the U.S. to operate inside its territory can expect a Chinese attack, according to China’s defense experts.
China is designing ground-launched cruise missiles capable of nailing targets more than 900 miles away — well within striking range of South Korea and much of Japan, according to the report. Cruise missiles able to reach Okinawa — home to Kadena Air Base — are in development.
The Chinese would first launch “concentrated and unexpected” attacks on tarmacs using runway-penetrating missiles and, soon after, would target U.S. aircraft. Saboteurs would play a role in reconnaissance, harassing operations and even “assassinating key personnel,” according to another military expert.
Chinese fighter jets would scramble to intercept aerial refueling tankers and cargo planes sent to shuttle in fuel, munitions, supplies or troops. High-explosive cluster bombs would target pilot quarters and other personnel buildings.
Because the American public is “abnormally sensitive” about military casualties, according to an article in China’s Liberation Army Daily, killing U.S. airmen or other personnel would spark a “domestic anti-war cry” on the home front and possibly force early withdrawal of U.S. forces. (“The U.S. experience in Somalia is usually cited in support of this assertion,” according to the Rand report.) Once this hard-and-fast assault on U.S. bases commenced, the Chinese army would “swiftly divert” its forces and “guard vigilantly against enemy retaliation,” according to a Chinese expert.
Dumb and blind The PLA also would likely use less conventional attacks on the American military’s vital communications network. The goal, as one Chinese expert put it: leaving U.S. combat capabilities “blind,” “deaf” and “paralyzed.”
Losing early-warning systems designed to detect incoming missiles would be, for the Air Force, the most devastating setback — one that could force the service to exit the region altogether, according to Rand.
China could also launch a nuclear “e-bomb,” or electromagnetic explosive, that would fry U.S. communication equipment while ionizing the atmosphere for minutes to hours, according to the report. This would likely jam radio signals in a 900-mile diameter beneath the nuclear fireball.
The PLA could also employ long-range anti-satellite missiles — similar to one successfully tested last January — to destroy one or more American satellites. However, the PLA has a host of less dramatic options: short-range jammers hidden in suitcases or bombs and virus attacks on Air Force computer networks.
U.S. Air Force options
Shielding against a swift Chinese onslaught is, according to Rand, as simple as reinforcing a runway or as complex as cloaking the orbit of military satellites.
In the short term, U.S. air bases inside the Dragon’s Lair should add an extra layer of concrete to their runways and bury fuel tanks underground. All aircraft, the report said, should be parked in hardened shelters, especially fighter jets.
Parking larger aircraft — bombers, tankers and E-3 Sentry Airborne Warning and Control Systems jets — in hard-shell hangars would be expensive and difficult but likely worth the cost, according to the report.
U.S. fighter jets remain the best defense against incoming Chinese missile attacks. But, given China’s taste for sudden attacks, surface-launched missile defense systems must be installed long before a conflict roils. Because the PLA is expected to strike quickly, the report said, waiting for the first tremors of conflict is not an option.
The Air Force also should fortify itself against Chinese hackers by using software encryption, isolating critical computer systems and preparing contingency plans to communicate without a high-bandwidth network. Though China maintains a “no first use” nuclear bomb policy, the U.S., according to Rand, should warn China that nuclear electromagnetic pulse attacks will be considered acts of nuclear aggression and could prompt nuclear retaliation.
Rand insists the Air Force must defend satellites — which support communication, reconnaissance, bomb guidance and more — against China’s proven satellite-killing missiles. This could be accomplished in the Cold War tradition of mutually assured destruction by threatening to retaliate in kind if the PLA blasts U.S. satellites.
“That might be the one restraining factor,” Cliff said. “They might not want to start that space war.”
Or, Rand suggests, the U.S. could invest heavily in satellite protection or evasion techniques, including stealth, blending in with other satellite constellations or perhaps developing and deploying microsatellites capable of swarming to defend larger satellites, which the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is working toward.
Could this really happen? The Chinese first-strike strategy is “more than hypothetical,” according to the report. But in the near term, at least, it’s considered unlikely.
If the most contentious issue is Taiwan, Cliff said, then the likely trigger would be Taiwanese elections, where assertions of complete independence from the mainland can infuriate Chinese leaders. China’s current president, Hu Jintao, has built up China’s military but also its ties with America. In 2012, however, when Taiwan holds an election and mainland China’s leadership is expected to turn over, perhaps for the worse, the risk of conflict could increase.
“It really depends on the circumstances,” Cliff said. “Would Taiwan be the provocateur? If so, it might be hard for the American public to support intervention.”
However, if China moves to capture control of the island, Cliff said he believes the U.S. would face a rocky dilemma.
“Are we really going to let a small, democratic country get snuffed out by a huge authoritarian country — especially when you think about how our own country came into existence?” Cliff said.
As China pours more resources into its evolving and expanding military, it buys the power to more strongly assert itself against America. In November, China denied U.S. Navy minesweepers shelter from a storm and, in another incident that month, turned down an Air Force C-17 flight shuttling supplies to the American consulate in Hong Kong. Experts speculate this was a rebuff to American arms sales to Taiwan, as well as President Bush’s autumn meeting with the Dalai Lama, the exiled spiritual leader of another state China claims, Tibet.
“If this conflict happened today, I’m certain we’d prevail,” Cliff said. “But as time goes on, that’s not a given.”

Hypothetical attack on U.S. outlined by China
By Patrick Winn - Staff writer
Posted : Sunday Jan 27, 2008 8:48:29 EST
In a hypothetical future scenario, the U.S. and China are poised to clash — likely over Taiwan.
The democratic Republic of China, commonly called Taiwan — which America backs and the communist People’s Republic of China considers part of its territory — frequently irritates Chinese leaders with calls for greater independence from the mainland. But while the American military mulls its options, Chinese missiles hit runways, fuel lines, barracks and supply depots at U.S. Air Force bases in Japan and South Korea. Long-range warheads destroy American satellites, crippling Air Force surveillance and communication networks. A nuclear fireball erupts high above the Pacific Ocean, ionizing the atmosphere and scrambling radars and radio feeds.
This is China’s anti-U.S. sucker punch strategy.
It’s designed to strike America’s military suddenly, stunning and stalling the Air Force more than any other service. In a script written by Chinese military officers and defense analysts, a bruised U.S. military, beholden to a sheepish American public, puts up a small fight before slinking off to avoid full-on war.
This strategic outlook isn’t hidden in secret Chinese documents. It’s printed in China’s military journals and textbooks. And for much of last year, Mandarin literates and defense experts — working for the Santa Monica, Calif.-based Rand Corp. on an Air Force contract — combed through a range of Chinese military sources.
They emerged with “Entering the Dragon’s Lair,” a lengthy report on how the Chinese People’s Liberation Army would likely confront the U.S. military and how the Air Force in particular can brace itself. In many cases, the theoretical enemy nation China’s officers discuss in these scenarios isn’t explicitly named but is unmistakably the U.S.
“These aren’t war plans,” said report co-author Roger Cliff, a former Defense Department strategist and China military specialist who spoke to Air Force Times from Taiwan. “This is the military talking to itself. It’s not designed for foreigners or even China’s general public to read.”
Element of surprise
When it comes to conflict with the U.S., Chinese military analysts favor age-old schoolyard wisdom: Throw the first punch and hit hard.
“Future conflicts are likely to be short, intense affairs that might consist of a single campaign,” Cliff said. “They’re thinking about ways to get the drop on us. Most of our force is not forward-deployed.”
China’s experts concede its army would lose a head-on fight, with one senior colonel comparing such a scenario to “throwing an egg against a rock.” Instead, the Chinese would attempt what Rand calls an “anti-access” strategy: slowing the deployment of U.S. forces to the Pacific theater, damaging operations within the region and forcing the U.S. to fight from a distance.
“Taking the enemy by surprise,” one Chinese military expert wrote, “would catch it unprepared and cause confusion within and huge psychological pressure on the enemy and help [China] win relatively large victories at relatively small costs.” Another military volume suggests feigning a large-scale military training exercise to conceal the attack’s buildup.
The Dragon’s Lair
Striking U.S. air bases — specifically command-and-control facilities, aircraft hangars and surface-to-air missile launchers — would be China’s first priority if a conflict arose, according to Rand’s report.
U.S. facilities in South Korea and Japan, even far-south Okinawa, sit within what Rand calls the “Dragon’s Lair”: a swath of land and sea along China’s coast. This is an area reachable by cruise missiles, jet-borne precision bombs and local covert operatives. Air Force bases within this area include Osan and Kunsan in South Korea, as well as Misawa, Yokota and Kadena in Japan. And in a conflict over Taiwan, any nation allowing “an intervening superpower” such as the U.S. to operate inside its territory can expect a Chinese attack, according to China’s defense experts.
China is designing ground-launched cruise missiles capable of nailing targets more than 900 miles away — well within striking range of South Korea and much of Japan, according to the report. Cruise missiles able to reach Okinawa — home to Kadena Air Base — are in development.
The Chinese would first launch “concentrated and unexpected” attacks on tarmacs using runway-penetrating missiles and, soon after, would target U.S. aircraft. Saboteurs would play a role in reconnaissance, harassing operations and even “assassinating key personnel,” according to another military expert.
Chinese fighter jets would scramble to intercept aerial refueling tankers and cargo planes sent to shuttle in fuel, munitions, supplies or troops. High-explosive cluster bombs would target pilot quarters and other personnel buildings.
Because the American public is “abnormally sensitive” about military casualties, according to an article in China’s Liberation Army Daily, killing U.S. airmen or other personnel would spark a “domestic anti-war cry” on the home front and possibly force early withdrawal of U.S. forces. (“The U.S. experience in Somalia is usually cited in support of this assertion,” according to the Rand report.) Once this hard-and-fast assault on U.S. bases commenced, the Chinese army would “swiftly divert” its forces and “guard vigilantly against enemy retaliation,” according to a Chinese expert.
Dumb and blind The PLA also would likely use less conventional attacks on the American military’s vital communications network. The goal, as one Chinese expert put it: leaving U.S. combat capabilities “blind,” “deaf” and “paralyzed.”
Losing early-warning systems designed to detect incoming missiles would be, for the Air Force, the most devastating setback — one that could force the service to exit the region altogether, according to Rand.
China could also launch a nuclear “e-bomb,” or electromagnetic explosive, that would fry U.S. communication equipment while ionizing the atmosphere for minutes to hours, according to the report. This would likely jam radio signals in a 900-mile diameter beneath the nuclear fireball.
The PLA could also employ long-range anti-satellite missiles — similar to one successfully tested last January — to destroy one or more American satellites. However, the PLA has a host of less dramatic options: short-range jammers hidden in suitcases or bombs and virus attacks on Air Force computer networks.
