That will teach him!
I would like to hear what he has to say now, Fucking Pig.

Warren Jeffs, the leader of the Fundamentalist Mormon church that practises polygamy, is likely to spend the rest of his life behind bars after he was given the maximum sentence for taking girls as young as 12 to be his brides.
Jeffs, 55, who represented himself during most of his trial though he refused to attend the final stages, claimed that his prosecution was a violation of his religious rights and warned it would lead to "sickness and death" being brought on the locality.
But a Texas jury took just 40 minutes to hand him the toughest sentence open to them – life in prison for aggravated sexual assault and 20 years in prison for sexual assault of a child. The sentences followed Jeffs's conviction last week on two counts relating to polygamist marriages with girls aged 12 and 15.
The sentencing of Jeffs brings to an end the most high-profile prosecution yet of a member of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The church, which has been based in Eldorado in west Texas since 2004, claims to be the genuine Mormon church adhering to the traditional practice of polygamy, or plural marriage as it calls it.

U.S. Drone Strike Kills 21 Afghan Militants in Pakistan
Second drone strike in as many days, a total of 28 Dead Taliban or similar douchebags.
Foxnews
A U.S. drone strike Wednesday in Pakistan killed up to 21 Afghan fighters from the Al Qaeda-linked Haqqani network, considered the top U.S. foe in eastern Afghanistan.
Pakistani officials said a US drone fired two missiles, destroying a vehicle and a compound in North Waziristan, the headquarters of the Haqqani leadership and the most infamous militant bastion in the tribal belt.
"More dead bodies have been dug out of the debris. Twenty-one militants from the Haqqani group were killed and three were injured," a Pakistani security official said.

Unions have ass's Handed to them Again in Wisconsin.
As the Unions and the Libtards of Wisconsin thought they had the GOP by the Balls on this one, they found out real quick that their ass's were being served to them on a silver platter.
Looks like they might need to come to terms with being the Minority for awhile.
A devastating blow

Republicans held onto control of the Wisconsin Senate on Tuesday, beating back four Democratic challengers in a recall election despite an intense political backlash against GOP support for Gov. Scott Walker's effort to curb public employees' union rights.
Fueled by millions of dollars from national labor groups, the attempt to remove GOP incumbents served as both a referendum on Walker's conservative revolution and could provide a new gauge of the public mood less than a year after Republicans made sweeping gains in this state and many others.
Two Democratic incumbents face recalls next week, but even if Democrats win those they will still be in the minority.
Turnout was strong in the morning and steady in the afternoon in communities such as Whitefish Bay, Menomonee Falls and Shorewood, where Sen. Alberta Darling was one of the four Republicans to hold onto her seat.

Experimental Aircraft to Go From Zero to 13,000 in Hypersonic Test Launch
Awesome stuff, but I don't know if the Human body can take such speeds within Earths atmosphere...
The goal of the project is to eventually enable the U.S. military to strike anywhere in the world in less than an hour
Oh! That explains it.
Foxnews
An unmanned aircraft that can travel at the breakneck speed of 20 times the speed of sound will take off Wednesday from an Air Force base in California for a test flight.
The Falcon HTV-2 is an arrow-shaped aircraft that launches on a rocket, separates and then glides at hypersonic speeds of 13,000 mph through the Earth’s atmosphere. (To put it in perspective, it would take less than 12 minutes to fly from New York to Los Angeles.)
Wednesday’s launch marks the aircraft's second flight. In April 2010, the Falcon flew for nine minutes, including 130 seconds of Mach 22 to Mach 17 flight, according to DARPA, the military's research arm.
The goal of the second flight is to "validate our assumptions and gain further insight into extremely high Mach regimes that we cannot fully replicate on the ground," Air Force Maj. Chris Schulz said in a DARPA news release.

U.S. could call for al-Assad to step down
Oh, now its gonna get serious; the U.S. is talking to the U.N.(Useless Nitwits) about talking to Bashar Al-ASSad about stepping down!
This Should get some quick results, like more tanks and deaths!
Keep talking folks the Syrian people will keep dying while you try to figure things out between all of ya !
CNN
The international cries for Syria's government to end a bloody crackdown on civilians could intensify Wednesday as activist groups reported fresh onslaughts in several cities.
The United Nations Security Council is expected Wednesday to follow up on a statement last week that condemned the Syrian regime for attacks on peaceful protesters and called for both sides to end the violence.
Meanwhile, the United States is moving toward issuing an explicit call for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to step down, U.S. government sources told CNN Tuesday.
The move is expected to be announced in coming days after U.S. officials consult with the United Nations Security Council, the sources said. They said the question of whether to call for al-Assad to step down has been under discussion over the past few weeks, the sources said.
While international leaders mull their next steps, heavy gunfire, explosions and tanks permeated the eastern city of Deir Ezzor on Wednesday, an activist group and a resident said.

Anonymous Crosses Swords with Facebook
"Your medium of communication you all so dearly adore will be destroyed, the hackers warned Facebook on a Youtube video message.
750 Million of you Facebook users need to prepare for your Info to be stolen then sold, Hope you don't have to much of your private info on your page.
That is if this a real threat, that part is kinda unknown;but...
International Business Times
The dark angels of anti-security, hacker collective Anonymous, have set eyes on Facebook for its alleged large-scale security violations and sell-off of private individuals' data to government agencies.
The "hacktivists" said on Tuesday they will do 750 million Facebook users a "a favor" by killing the social networking site. They have set a D-Day, November 5, which in Britain is Guy Fawkes Day. Facebook has not yet responded to the outrageous claims of the hackers whose underground war against government agencies and some of the largest corporations in the world has entered a decisive stage.
Nor has there been any independent confirmation if the message posted on behalf of Anonymous is real or fake, or if it is a collective decision or a fringe comment.
Now the amorphous hacker community has said Facebook deserves to be destroyed. "Your medium of communication you all so dearly adore will be destroyed, the hackers warned Facebook on a Youtube video message.
And to the fellow hackers it said: "If you are a willing hacktivist or a guy who just wants to protect the freedom of information then join the cause and kill facebook for the sake of your own privacy."

Rioting continues for third night in London
This is definitely more than just a few people pissed off over a shooting.
Can you say Anarchists? You know those little pieces of shit you see at all the riots, Dressed in black hoodies and their faces masked.
Xinhuanet
The streets of London were hit on Monday evening with a third night of violence as rioters attacked police, set fire to cars and looted shops in areas across the capital, which pressed Prime Minister David Cameron to cut short his holiday.
The districts of Peckham, Lewisham, Croydon and Deptford in south London saw violence, as well as Hackney in east London. Shops were set on fire in Peckham, a building set alight in Croydon and cars were torched in Lewisham and Deptford.
Police reported they had made arrests in the north London district of Kilburn.
Meanwhile, Cameron has decided to cut short his holiday to return to London due to the ongoing riots, his office said on Monday night.
Cameron, who is on vacation in Italy, will return overnight and hold a high-level meeting on the escalating riots on Tuesday, his office said in a brief statement.
For the first time since the violence began on Saturday evening, disturbances have been reported outside London.

Accused Pakistan Taliban backer denied bail in Miami
No bail for the Taliban Sympathizers.
Now they can sit and rot in a jail cell, until their convictions and then they can rot some more.
Dawn.com
A US federal judge has denied bail for the son of a Florida imam arrested on charges of financing and supporting the Pakistani Taliban.
US prosecutors have charged Irfan Khan, 37, along with his father and brother, who is also an imam at another Florida mosque, with conspiring to provide material support to terrorists.
The three Pakistani-born US citizens were arrested in May and are among six people indicted on charges they conspired to transfer about $50,000 and provide other support for the Pakistani Taliban, which the US government considers a terrorist organization.(Because they are Terrorists !Ed)
In a ruling late on Friday, Judge Adalberto Jordan denied bail for Khan, saying he represented a flight risk. The judge had already rejected bail requests for the other two men.
Jordan said the evidence against Khan was “substantial” but not as strong as that against his father, Hafiz Muhammed Sher Ali Khan, 76, who was an imam at the Miami Mosque at the time of his arrest.
All three men have pleaded not guilty to the charges. If convicted, the men face up to 15 years in prison for each count of the indictment.

Nagasaki remembers bombing; US has representative
The One that assured the end of WWII and saved the deaths of possibly millions of Japanese and Americans by preventing the invasion of Japan !
Signed sealed and delivered.
Terrible, Yes, devastating, Yes, but this is also one of the reasons America works so hard to keep this type of weapon away from fruitcakes like Ahmadinejad, and Kim Jong Ill.
Forbes
The U.S. has sent its first representative to the annual memorial for the atomic bombing of Nagasaki, as the Japanese city remembered the historic horrors of radiation amid the nation's unfolding nuclear crisis.
As in past years, a moment of silence was observed at 11:02 a.m. Tuesday, 66 years after the moment the bomb dropped on the southern city on Aug. 9, 1945, in the closing days of World War II.

Could Somali famine deal a fatal blow to al-Shabab?
Al-Shabaab being weakened by famine, whether this will truly be the end of Al-Shabaab or not though who knows.
but it is showing the people of Somalia that they are being Manipulated by idiots that can not help them in a true time of need.
So heres to a big black eye for Al-Shabaab.
Islam the Religion of starving your people to death.
BBC
Somalia's militant Islamist group al-Shabab is in crisis, as it battles to cope with the famine that is far worse in areas under its control than other partsof the country, leading to reports of splits in the leadership of the al-Qaeda-linked group.
The famine has forced hundreds of thousands of people to flee the Lower Shabelle and Bakool regions in search of food.
Many are escaping to the capital, Mogadishu, where over the weekend the group made what it called a tactical withdrawal of its forces from the northern suburbs that were under its control.
Others are walking for days to reach camps in neighbouring Kenya and Ethiopia, arch-foes of al-Shabab.
"It is not a good picture for al-Shabab," says US-based Somali journalist Abdirahman Aynte, who is writing a book on the movement.
"Nearly 500,000 people have left. Al-Shabab cannot do anything about it. They have become bystanders."

Syria comes under global reproach for crackdown
There are times when diplomacy just makes no sense, this is one of them.
If Syria will not listen to the U.N. Then what makes these countries think they will listen to them.
But everyone will try, unsuccessfully, but they will try.
BEIRUT (AP) — The Syrian regime faced a chorus of global reproach Tuesday as envoys from Turkey, India, Brazil and South Africa headed to Damascus to press President Bashar Assad to end his violent crackdown on a five-month-old uprising.
The visit by Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu was significant because Turkey until recently had close ties to Damascus. But Ankara has become increasingly critical of its neighbor over the bloodshed.
Davutoglu will deliver a strong message to Damascus, Turkey's prime minister has said.
In Washington, U.S. State Department spokesman Mark Toner lauded the visit and said Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton had spoken to Davutoglu.
"They did talk about the situation in Syria, you know, and we believe it's another opportunity to send yet another strong message to Assad that this crackdown on peaceful protesters cannot stand," Toner said Monday.

Have your spot in that hanbasket yet ?
Dow closes down 634 points after final plunge
Me neither, I want to watch the mayhem.
Just another "Sonofabitch" Day !
Investors piled out of stocks and into a few "safe havens," such as gold and Treasury bonds. The appetite for Treasury bonds suggests that the Standard & Poor's downgrade has not shaken investors' faith in U.S. bonds.
Market experts said the Monday sell-off was sparked by the S&P announcement but was motivated more by growing concerns about the weakness of the global economy.
"It’s really all about economics," said Mike Norman, the chief financial strategist at John Thomas Financial.
The Dow ended the day down 634.76 points, or 5.5%, to 10,809.85. The broader Standard & Poor's 500 index fell even more sharply, finishing the day down 79.83 points, or 6.6%, to 1,119.55.

Syrian tanks storm Deir al-Zour
And another day of tank murders in Syria, maybe the U.N. will step in once again and scold al-ASSad.
The Daily Star
AMMAN: Syrian tanks stormed a city in the east of the country Sunday, crushing makeshift barricades, opening fire and seizing the central square, residents said, in a fresh crackdown that activists said killed dozens of civilians.
The assault on the provincial capital Deir al-Zour comes a week after tanks stormed the city of Hama, where activists say scores have been killed in an ongoing siege to crush five-months of protests against President Bashar Assad’s rule.
“Early this morning columns of army tanks and bulldozers, under cover of heavy rounds of gunfire, stormed into the western and northern entrances of the city and dismantled barricades set up by residents,” a Deir al-Zour resident said. “A dozen tanks are taking position in the main square in Jubaila market in the northern sector of Deir al-Zour,” the resident, who gave his name as Abu Bakr, said by telephone.

Abundant Antimatter Circles the Earth
The find could one day open the door to fueling spacecraft with the exotic particle, an idea already being explored from NASA's Institute for Advanced Concepts.

Funny how Science Fiction Always turns into Fact.
International Business Times
A band of anti-protons have been discovered ringing around the earth, researchers have found, adding to the list of particles Earth holds within its magnetic field.
Cosmic rays constantly rain in from space, colliding with earth's atmosphere and creating a spray of new particles. Scientists have observed antiparticles before, such as anti-protons, but this is the first time antiprotons have been observed.
Many of these particles become trapped inside Earth's Van Allen radiation belts, the donut shaped zones around Earth where particles spiral around the planet's magnetic field.

US helicopter shot down in Taliban trap
War sucks, but we should not run away because of this one incident as tragic as it is.
We should stop messing around and start taking it to the Taliban non stop, a full on assault.
Send in more troops and get the job done, we can not change the minds of these people but we can put bullets through them !
Dawn.com
KABUL: A helicopter which crashed killing 30 US troops in Afghanistan was shot down after the Taliban laid a trap to lure US forces into the area, an Afghan government official said Monday.
“Now it’s confirmed that the helicopter was shot down and it was a trap that was set by a Taliban commander,” said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity.
The official said the commander lured US forces to the scene by telling them there was a Taliban meeting taking place there.
The official said that President Hamid Karzai’s US-backed government “thinks this was a retaliation attack for the killing of Osama Bin Laden.” The Taliban did not make such an assertion when they claimed responsibility for the attack.
Citing intelligence “gathered from the area,” the official blamed Qari Tahir, a Taliban commander, for masterminding the attack. He alleged that four Pakistani nationals helped Tahir carry out the strike.
