Favorite Quote of the Day

"I am broarder minded than you are..."

Exactly as spelled by someone identifying themselves as "RonHarper" on www.reportertalk.com.

The Narc keeps goofing up

Ron,

I will address it point by point.

I wanted the_cRoW to think he was dealing with a novice so he would make mistakes. He did.


Yes, I did think I was dealing with a novice, and I was!


Also, he thought that deleting his old posts would matter. It didn't. I have offsite backups of everything before I ever addressed him in case he had some skill. Maybe he does, but he's done nothing impressive so far.


So? You have a back-up that you're fucking stupid. Congratulations.

As I said before, he posted an embedded image pointing to a public stats package. Any forum that allows images has that hole. I have discussed this with an advanced developer of IPB. He agreed about that. I've implemented a couple things to deal with it and even made a suggestion for IPB to improve their program in the next release. However, at no point did he have access to anything that a mod would. I checked it and asked the IPB team to check it. They agree, he never came close to getting in.


Ho hum. I never TRIED to get in. Like you said, EVERY FORUMS THAT ALLOWS IMAGES HAS "THAT HOLE". It's not really a hole!

Because I didn't want to warn him until I had him register several times, with several IP Addresses. The case got stronger with his malicious intent. Unfortunately, it may have worried some of you a little for the time being, but in the long run, I think it was worth lulling him into a feeling of superiority.


Congrats. Way to cause alot of people fear!

As I said a couple of times, the_crow impersonated narc. There are two users with the display name of narc. I didn't yet check every single post of theirs to see which was which. Probably that fight was between the real narc and the crow.

IPB does have a bizarre way of handling display names that allows for duplicates. That hole will be fixed. But in the meantime, look at the userid number of the poster if you want to be sure that it is one and the same.

BTW, on the internet, people are devious. Fake posters argue with themselves all the time on forums in order to establish credibility. That may not have happened in this case, but you have to realize that it's always a possibility.


Actually, you are a stooge. I was "The_Narc". Someone from Lancaster Newspapers (most likely LOL Bossman) was "The Narc".

My assistance engaged by TruthBuster. The writing and details were supplied to me by that poster and others.

And of course, I have all of their IP addresses now. Har.

Oh please. My liberal heart bleeds for you.

What a whiner.

A quick check of Mapquest.com reveals surprisingly that a trip from Lebanon, PA to Reading, PA takes a whopping 46 minutes. (Probably an hour at most, if you do not start from the center of town.)

Maybe I am getting too old to remember, but last time I checked, the first trimester lasts three months. A pregnancy lasts about nine.

"Calling Dr. Smart, calling Dr. Smart. We have an emergency. We can only get there in an hour".

"How long do we have nurse?"

"Three months."

"Better get right on that then."

Seriously, can they NOT find a better writer than this freakin' retard?

Stem Cell Shenanighans

Disgraced SKorean clone expert denies swindle
Jul 25 5:15 AM US/Eastern (Source)

South Korea's disgraced cloning expert Hwang Woo-Suk, standing trial on graft charges has denied using fraudulent research to obtain cash donations from corporations.

Hwang, once a national hero in South Korea, was indicted in May on fraud, embezzlement and ethical breaches relating to his bogus research into stem cells. Five other scientists were also indicted.



The 52-year-old Hwang has maintained his innocence but prosecutors say he is guilty of embezzling 2.8 billion won (three million dollars) in donations to his research team.

Prosecutors have urged Hwang to admit that he masterminded a stem cell hoax by manipulating data and using the bogus scoentific findings to swindle businessmen out of money.

"It was voluntary contributions to support me," Hwang said during his trial at the Seoul District Criminal Court, vehemently denying he ever asked for money.

"I have never made a prior request (for money). I have just received money because they wanted to do donate it."

In previous hearings, Hwang blamed one of his junior researchers for fabricating data and photographs in a 2005 paper that established him as a leader in the field of stem cell research.

He claimed in the paper that his team had created 11 stem cells tailored to specific patients in landmark research on cloning, paving the way to finding cures for a variety of diseases.

But a panel of experts at Seoul National University, where Hwang worked as a professor, concluded in January that the stem-cell claims were bogus.

The panel also said the first stem cell allegedly created by Hwang's team from a cloned human embryo, documented in a 2004 journal article, was also bogus.

Hwang has challeged the panel's conclusion, sticking to his allegation that his team did create a stem cell from a cloned human embryo for the first time in the world.

He said he wants to resume research work at a private laboratory, focusing on animal cloning experiments because he was fired from the university and deprived of a government license for human stem cell research.

The government last week withdrew medals and honors awarded to Hwang, who has already lost his title as the country's "Supreme Scientist."

Nic Robertson's Complete Quotation

http://207.25.71.245/TRANSCRIPTS/0607/09/sun.03.html

Once a confluence of cultures, Baghdad is turning into sectarian islands of fear. (on camera): In an indication of just how bad fears have become, one international official told me of reports among his staff that a 15-year-old girl had been beheaded and a dog's head sewn on her body in its place; and of a young child who had had his hands drilled and bolted together before being killed. Whether or not the reports are accurate, the staff took them as fact. It seems in this climate of fear, no act is so barbaric it can't be believed.

It's official: Rove was not primary source, CIA also cited as source of leak, primary source remains unnamed but is not political operative

BOB NOVAK, My Leak Case Testimony: 'I learned Valerie Plame's name from Joe Wilson's entry in 'Who's Who in America'... MORE Published reports that I took the Fifth Amendment, made a plea bargain with the prosecutors or was a prosecutorial target were all untrue... MORE... My primary source has not come forward to identify himself... Bill Harlow, the CIA public information officer who was my CIA source for the column confirming Mrs. Wilson's identity. I learned Valerie Plame's name from Joe Wilson's entry in 'Who's Who in America'... I answered questions using the names of Rove, Harlow and my primary source.

"The primary source was not a political operative," he said, and he mentioned Plame's role in the middle of a conversation about other subjects. "I don't believe it was part of a plan to discredit anybody."

A spokesman for Rove, Mark Corallo, said Novak's account of phoning Rove confirms what the White House strategist has said. "Karl never reached out to any reporters," Corallo said. "They called him."

Novak said he and Rove had differing recollections of what happened when he asked about Plame. Novak recalls Rove saying, "Oh, you know that, too?" Rove, according to Corallo, has said he responded, "I've heard that, too."

Binary chemical weapons: Shelf life is irrelevant

Developing binary chemical weapons, where the two precursor chemicals are stored separately in the same shell, and mixed to form the agent immediately before or when the shell is in flight. This approach has the dual benefit of making the issue of shelf life irrelevant and greatly increasing the safety of sarin munitions.

Santorum Press Release is only quoting this

Declassified report on WMD

Spinning a web of lies: "degraded" shells still "hazardous and potentially lethal"


Senator Santorum Makes Major Announcement Regarding Newly Declassified Information Concerning Chemical Weapons Discovered in Iraq


“This is critically important information that the world community needs to know” – Senator Santorum

June 21, 2006
Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Rick Santorum (R-PA), Chairman of the Senate Republican Conference, joined Congressman Peter Hoekstra, (R-MI-2), Chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, today to make a major announcement regarding the release of newly declassified information that proves the existence of chemical munitions in Iraq since 2003. The information was released by the Director of National Intelligence, John Negroponte, and contained an unclassified summary of analysis conducted by the National Ground Intelligence Center. In March, Senator Santorum began advocating for the release of these documents to the American public.

“The information released today proves that weapons of mass destruction are, in fact, in Iraq,” said Senator Santorum. “It is essential for the American people to understand that these weapons are in Iraq. I will continue to advocate for the complete declassification of this report so we can more fully understand the complete WMD picture inside Iraq.”

The following are the six key points contained in the unclassified overview:

• Since 2003 Coalition forces have recovered approximately 500 weapons munitions which contain degraded mustard or sarin nerve agent.

• Despite many efforts to locate and destroy Iraq’s pre-Gulf War chemical munitions, filled and unfilled pre-Gulf War chemical munitions are assessed to still exist.

• Pre-Gulf War Iraqi chemical weapons could be sold on the black market. Use of these weapons by terrorists or insurgent groups would have implications for Coalition forces in Iraq. The possibility of use outside Iraq cannot be ruled out.

• The most likely munitions remaining are sarin and mustard-filled projectiles.

• The purity of the agent inside the munitions depends on many factors, including the manufacturing process, potential additives, and environmental storage conditions. While agents degrade over time, chemical warfare agents remain hazardous and potentially lethal.

• It has been reported in open press that insurgents and Iraqi groups desire to acquire and use chemical weapons.

Liberals to impeach themselves over lies about WMD?

In a bit of irony,...

the liberals who have been screaming their heads off about our President "lying" about WMDs now find the tables turned on themselves. For weeks...no months...no years...all we heard was about how no WMDs were in Iraq and Bush lied.

Now the truth emerges. Hundreds of WMDs have been found.

Now the new argument goes, "Oh, those don't count". They are "degraded". "Ineffective". But I bet if you did a survey on who would keep one of these "ineffective" weapons of mass destruction in your home - the Democrats would not be very high on the list of those that would do so.

The fact of the matter is we were told Iraq had "none". NO WMD. Now the truth has been discovered and that statement is quite obviously a lie.

Let the spin begin...

Hey nimrods: Damaging our national security

http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2006/7/1/82329.shtml?s=ic

V.P. Cheney Rips N.Y. Times for Publishing Leaks

Vice President Dick Cheney, traveling into the home turf of The New York Times, criticized the paper Friday for disclosing information about a secret government program to track the financing of terror suspects.

"Leaks to The New York Times and the publishing of those leaks is very damaging to our national security," Cheney said at a fundraising lunch for Rep. Scott Garrett, R-N.J. "Putting this information on the front page makes it more difficult for us to prevent future attacks."

The paper reported last week that shortly after the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, the government obtained access to an extensive international financial database - the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication, or Swift.

The Wall Street Journal and Los Angeles Times also published stories about the Swift program, but administration officials have specifically named The New York Times when criticizing the news media for disclosing secret programs connected to the war on terror.

Bill Keller, executive editor of The New York Times, has defended the decision to publish the story.
"Most Americans seem to support extraordinary measures in defense against this extraordinary threat, but some officials who have been involved in these programs have spoken to the Times about their discomfort over the legality of the government's actions and over the adequacy of oversight," Keller said in a note on the paper's Web site Sunday.

Last year, The New York Times also revealed that the National Security Agency since 2002 had been conducting warrantless surveillance in the United States of people with suspected al-Qaida ties.

Cheney also urged attendees at the $1,000-a plate gathering to keep national security issues atop their list of priorities when casting votes in the November elections.

"Every voter needs to know where the president and I stand, and where leaders of the Democratic Party stand," he said.
