Now There Can Be Only War
The Americans, the British, heck, the whole of the Leftist Totalitarian Democracies, such as the Fascists in France, the Socialists in Spain, all the imbeciles and arrogant vengeful know it alls, do gooders and other assorted scaly wags and their puppets throughout the world, have made sure that we can expect only more and more bloodshed, the world over.
How so? Simple, by setting a precedent. Which precedent? Why the one that says, lie through your teeth and never honour what you have committed to.
The West, in dealing with either their designated boogyman of the year or with their latest back stabbed ally, constantly promise safe haven and immunity, if only the target steps down, but instead deliver prison at best and death at worst and more and more it is death.
Be it Augusto Pinochet, Radovan Karadžić, Slobodan Milošević, or Saddam Hussein, and now Mubarek, are but a few examples. Pinochet left power, after rebuilding a broken country into the prime economy of Latin American, only to be betrayed, arrested multiple times, including in Spain, and finally tried and found guilty, the last days of his life, turned into a hell. Then there was Radovan Karadžić, who worked with NATO and the EU to end the Bosnian civil war and even betrayed the Serbian cause in helping create the Bonsian Frankenstien that is now a Jihadist state, first and foremost. His reward, a decade and a half of running and hiding, only to be sent to the kangaroo court in the Hague.
Or the case of Slobodan Milošević who also worked with the enemy of Serbs and Orthodox to end the Bosnian civil war and then stepped down peacefully after the NATO terror bombing of Yugoslavia. His reward? Murdered in the prison of the Hague, when it was obvious the kangaroo court in the Hague was failing to convict him, regardless of how much illegal, immoral shenanigans it was pulling.
Or the case of Saddam Hussein, who after being a good puppet for the Yanks, starting a disastrous war against Iran, on their command, to punish the Mullahs, fell for the American bait of Kuwait, which itself was stealing Iraq's oil. Then he and his people endured ten years of embargo and on and off terror bombing, which cost the lives of over half a million Iraqi children. This modern genocide by the West, is of course, ignored. Or as Madelin Albright stated: it is regrettable but worth it. Why Madelin, for a Jew, you sure sound like a certain short Austrian and his sentiment about your people. Finally, the Americans invaded, when the 911 opportunity presented itself, as usually on false pretense with the cover of a UN mandate. Finally arrested, he was tried not in a neutral court but by his political enemies and hung.
Now we have the latest, Mubarek, a man who carried the American bucket for decades, only to be back stabbed and replaced by the Islamic Brotherhood. He was promised amnesty, to hand over power, without a fight, and in less then a month, arrested and will now be tried.
So what message to Quadafi and others, when the lieing Totalitarian Democracies squeech that he and others should step down? Why to fight and fight to the bloody end, no matter what.
I believe the term here is "blow-back", something the Anglos and their French co-sycophants, never seem to learn from. So it will be war and bloody war at that.
A Tale of Two Tyrants: Hypocrisy of the West
To find the hypocrisy of the West, one never has to look far or search hard, its proliferation is ripe and robust. Simply, let us compare two tyrants: Quadaffi and Saakashvili.
Momar is now busy fighting a civil war, against his own people, the eastern half of whom, rebelled against his rule. True, he has murdered many, while serving the goals of the Americans, British and French, with oil sales galour. Sure, they had no problem with him for that matter.
However, the moment that France lost the military contracts, from Libya, to Russia. The moment word came that future oil contracts were going to Russia, China, India and others, that is not to the US, UK, France, the West started funding the insurgency. That this insurgency is Islamic fanatic in concept and style, matters nothing. The Western Totalitarian Democracies have no problems living with that fact, as long as they get what they want.
Thus they pushed for a no fly zone, which in turn instantly turned into a regime change crusade, a mass murderous terror bombing free for all that will soon be followed up with a land invasion and an Iraq style "democratic" hell on earth for what had shortly before been the leading nation, in terms of living standards, of Africa.
Thus, in attacking a tyrant, and at the same time, defending the same types of tyrants in Saudi Arabia, Bharan, Qatar and Yemen, the West, they moralistic nannies, proving themselves as always hypocrites, walk in absolute contrast to the Saakashvili tyrant in Georgia.
Just three years ago, a US/UK puppet, a New York City lawyer placed on the throne of Georgia, initiated an unprovoked mass murderer, through artillery fire, not on demonstrators hurling Molotov cocktails but on a sleeping city, capital of a break away region, an oppressed ethnic minority that had lived independently for 16 years. That such a mass murder, indiscriminant shelling, followed up by a tank and infantry assault, as out to kill the defenders as genocide the civilians, would be defended in the media, by the full weight of the propaganda machine of the West, is beyond the pale, but that is exactly what was done.
Even now, three years later, when the South Ossessians are putting their lives back together, the same mass murderer sits in power, basking in an endless stream of hundreds of millions of dollars, even as the Americans and British peasants are taxed for his palaces and organs of oppressive power. Why? Because he is obedient and ready to marshal another ten thousand of his own serfs off to the slaughter against Russia, at any time, as demanded by his masters.
Yes , the same masters who, having failed in their colour revolution in Libya are now bombing the population and regime, sending in the spooks and special forces and preparing the ground invasion, while continuing to pamper their other tyrant and true mass murderer and US citizen, Misha.
There is no end to the real hypocrisy of the West, just as there are no end to their victims, be they their own citizens or those of foreign nations. Equally, there is no fore seeable end to their hypocrisy.

The Paschal Sermon of St. John Chrysostom
Saint John Chrysostom, Archbishop of Constantinople
The Catechetical Sermon of St. John Chrysostom is read during Matins of Pascha.
If any man be devout and love God, let him enjoy this fair and radiant triumphal feast. If any man be a wise servant, let him rejoicing enter into the joy of his Lord. If any have labored long in fasting, let him now receive his recompense. If any have wrought from the first hour, let him today receive his just reward. If any have come at the third hour, let him with thankfulness keep the feast. If any have arrived at the sixth hour, let him have no misgivings; because he shall in nowise be deprived therefor. If any have delayed until the ninth hour, let him draw near, fearing nothing. If any have tarried even until the eleventh hour, let him, also, be not alarmed at his tardiness; for the Lord, who is jealous of his honor, will accept the last even as the first; he gives rest unto him who comes at the eleventh hour, even as unto him who has wrought from the first hour.
And he shows mercy upon the last, and cares for the first; and to the one he gives, and upon the other he bestows gifts. And he both accepts the deeds, and welcomes the intention, and honors the acts and praises the offering. Wherefore, enter you all into the joy of your Lord; and receive your reward, both the first, and likewise the second. You rich and poor together, hold high festival. You sober and you heedless, honor the day. Rejoice today, both you who have fasted and you who have disregarded the fast. The table is full-laden; feast ye all sumptuously. The calf is fatted; let no one go hungry away.
Enjoy ye all the feast of faith: Receive ye all the riches of loving-kindness. let no one bewail his poverty, for the universal kingdom has been revealed. Let no one weep for his iniquities, for pardon has shown forth from the grave. Let no one fear death, for the Savior's death has set us free. He that was held prisoner of it has annihilated it. By descending into Hell, He made Hell captive. He embittered it when it tasted of His flesh. And Isaiah, foretelling this, did cry: Hell, said he, was embittered, when it encountered Thee in the lower regions. It was embittered, for it was abolished. It was embittered, for it was mocked. It was embittered, for it was slain. It was embittered, for it was overthrown. It was embittered, for it was fettered in chains. It took a body, and met God face to face. It took earth, and encountered Heaven. It took that which was seen, and fell upon the unseen.
O Death, where is your sting? O Hell, where is your victory? Christ is risen, and you are overthrown. Christ is risen, and the demons are fallen. Christ is risen, and the angels rejoice. Christ is risen, and life reigns. Christ is risen, and not one dead remains in the grave. For Christ, being risen from the dead, is become the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep. To Him be glory and dominion unto ages of ages. Amen.
The Blood Thirsty Hypocrites of the West
Murderers and vampires upon their own people and upon those of foreign nations, the so called liberal democracies, better labeled as Totalitarian Democracies, ruled by a feudalistic banker elites, facing economic collapses across all their kleptocracies have once more played wag the dog.
Not enough to create anarchy throughout the N.Africa-Middle East zone to artificially raise the price of oil and thus the demand for American debt, its chief poisonous export, the American bankers, leading their British, French, Spanish and Italians parade of idiots, has launched an illegal, immoral war on Libya, massacring dozens of civilians and creating a stalemate that has led to a longer war and yet more casualties. The initial UN, itself a Marxist, anti-Christian tool of Islamic murderers and their Western vampiric allies, gave cover to initiate what was always meant to be an invasion and destruction of Libya, Iraq style.
From day one, the No Fly Zone was a hunt for Quadaffi. When it failed, as air bombings alone have every single time for the past 70 years, the strikes spread to murdering civilians and conscripts, while upholding a renewal and uptick in the violent civil war, led by Islamic Jihadists, the Muslim Brotherhood. Now, naturally, talk has risen of sending in ground troops, an invasion, even as news arrives that the Americans are sending 3,000 marines to the region, on top of their already present forces.
Fronting this war, the American/Western media, owned by the governments and their oligarchs, are fronting Arab talking puppets, no different then the sociopaths that heralded in the invasion of Iraq while creating an internet revolution of fake accounts and fake appheals for invasion. The public in Britain, at least, is rising in protest, at the bankrupt government, busy laying people off, and spending a fortune on murdering others. The Americans, neck deep in their superiority, self love and laziness, could not give a bigger damn. They send out letters by email to "support the troops" which is a key note for so called conservatives to stop worrying and get in line behind the latest war and like Pavlov's dogs, spittle dripping from their lips, they scream for the mass murder of foreigners. All the while their leftist opponents prove once more to be whores of a greater order, as the former anti-war protesters are no where but guzzling cheap beer, trying to forget how their Sunni brown messiah leads one blood soaked campaign after another.
Already, Neocons, the fascist branch of the American one party system, in cohort with their Democratic, aka communist branch, are in one voice, calling for the occupation of Libya, for the invasion of Syria, for the bombing of Iran and even the more extreme calling for an intervention and imposition of a separation on Israel. All for democracy of course....that is, the democratic exploitation of the local resources by their own masters.
All of course, is done with blood thirsty intent, while covering for the petro-dollar, Jihadist pay masters in Saudi Arabia and the Persian Gulf princedoms, who massacre their own Shiete populations, while having long ago exterminated their Orthodox Christian and Jewish populations. That Baharani and Saudi and Qatari soldiers massacre Shiete civilians, well that's the internal matter of those Sunni fanatics, not for the Western whores they own. That socialist, Shiete, Jewish or other groups must defend their own governments, well that's just fine for invasion, but only after you "soften" up the population with terror bombings.
Of course, that all of this takes away the population's attentions from the beginnings of hyperinflation, mass unemployment and a rush into the third world life "style", does not hurt either.

The Coming MidEast Blood Bath and the Death of Turkey
Prophesy has a way of coming true and its agents, at least those who set up the situation best, are usually the least aware of their actions.
In this, much as I predicted in 2011, A Dark Year Ahead, reality is crashing down on perception and the will of God, not the madness of Allah, is moving to prevail.
The Americans and the British, in their Masonic drive for domination, have back stabbed their allies in the Middle East, launching one revolution after another, in a bid to up the price of oil, to which they have brilliantly succeeded, and thus allow for the further mass printing of dollars, even as the value of the dollar has been rebounding. How the Muslim Brotherhood Saved the US Dollar and Who Sponsors Terror?. They did this by not only training the foolish youth and hiring or looking the other way as Islamic poured into these nations, but by triggering unrest first on a personal level, through the price of food Step One, Starve the People and then, once this is underway, allowing the Islamic radicals to take over, while the Anglos and now also the new shills of Islam, the French, betrayed their allies or just simply attacked them, as in Libya and now in the Ivory Coast.
All of this has led now to Islamic radicals taking power in Egypt, while the Saudis have all but in name annexed Bahrain and are looking at doing the same to Yemen. With the Turks also going hard core Islamic, the stage is set. The last piece is Syria, which the Americans are busily destabilizing and already, through their media and senators, threatening with air strikes and invasion. What has been one of the first moves of the Muslim Brotherhood, which is not yet formerly recognized as the power of Egypt? To declare that if Israel attacks Gaza, from which daily hundreds of shells and rockets are falling on the Israelis, then Egypt will invade. This echoes the Turkish threat about the same situation with Hezbullah. So, everything is set.
At the same time, the US betrayal of Israel is complete. However, like it or not, 30% of the Israeli population is Russian Jews or Russians, most with duel citizenship.The biggest land owner is our Church and Russian tourists are the vast majority of those in Israel. We will get involved and our involvement will only grow to a full scale war as the S.Cypriots will seek to retake their northern half of the island and the Turks do what is in their blood and genocide the population. Photos of dead Kurdish women and children will only worsen the situation as will the war with the mainland Greeks, who will surely rush to help their brothers in Cyprus. Everything will escalate and as I wrote in "2011, The Dark Year Ahead":
The key player who will escalate this will be the Turks, with Erdagon dead set on a military confrontation. (I stand corrected as it may now be the Turks or the Egyptians). He will get it, first at sea and the air and then with Turkish soldiers coming into Lebanon. The war will quickly escalate, with Turkey's own unstable internal and external politics playing a direct roll.
Israel will take severe damage on its border areas, however, there will also be mass casualties in southern Lebanon and the Palestinian areas. Gaza will catch the worst of it and may see direct indiscriminate artillery barrages by the IDF. Surrounding Arab nations will be rocked by fanatic protests, when their governments do not get involved, which will also bring down extreme crack downs and blood baths on the radicals from various kings and dictators bent on staying in power and not bringing themselves into the meat grinder.
Russia, due to the Turkish involvement and that of the Greeks and Kurds, will come out as the main Israeli ally, coming firstly out against the Turks and then being drawn in against the rest of the Islamics. Yes, Russia will loose a lot of influence with the Islamic Arabs but will gain immensely with the Orthodox Christians and other Christian groups, as well as the Jews.
Turkey, through the rulership of its Islamic fanatic, Erdagon, will finally walk into a real meat grinder. By sponsoring and supporting the Hezbullah war and then getting directly involved with fighting Israel, Turkey will also, in a defacto occupation of Lebanon, find itself fighting an Arab insurgency, sponsored by Syria. Taking advantage of this, the Kurds will launch various offensives throughout eastern and central Turkey. Drawn by these two conflicts, the Turks will also find themselves fighting for N.Cyprus as the Greek Cypriots will take the opportunity to throw out the Jihadist occupiers. The Turkish response will be beyond extreme, with heavy bombing of civilian points.
This in turn will draw in Greece and Bulgaria into direct conflict with the Turks, bringing in Russia as well. Turkey, its economy already in the gutter, will face a five front war and will readily collapse. The military will arrest and quickly execute most of the ruling party and cabinet and will conclude peace terms and withdrawals with the Israelis, Greeks, Bulgarians, Lebanese and Russians. There is a very good chance of the S.Cypriots gaining strong foot holds and territory in N.Cyprus. The Kurdish issue will be extremely hard to settle and will grind the Turks for the next decade to come. Greece will also gain several key islands along the border.
Deported Greek Muslims will create new headaches for the military.
Greece will have a year of collapse, war, turmoil and rebirth. First, the economic enslavement, placed upon it by the EU, even as the EU pours in Islamic settlers will spark bigger and uglier confrontations with a government and elite ever more powerless and inept. Further, the Israeli-Hezbullah/Turkish war which will bring in the Cypriots and thus Greece, will work to at least momentarily unify Greece. The military will come out as a unifying and apt leadership in a sea of anarchy and vain stupidity. The fact that Turkish Muslims as well as non-Turkish Muslims will agitate and act against Greece, will give Greece all the reasons to strike out at these national threats.
With the collapse of the Turkish war effort, the Greek General Staff, backed by the Church and with economic assurances from Russia, will seize power. The EUrocarts will be out raged and will attempt a quick over throw of the General Staff, through a colour revolution, lead by anarchists and Muslims. When this fails spectacularly, Greece will declare out of the Eurozone and will hold strained relations inside the EU at best. It will also oust the majority of Muslims who refuse to convert to Orthodox Christianity, sending them in drover to a wrecked Turkey. It will further expand its military and work in unison with Russia, thus also providing a land bridge to Serbia, which will also move towards a closer alliance with Russia.
Greece will see the beginnings of a revival in the Orthodox Faith and a growing movement of Monarchists.
These were my views back then, but I must admit that events have spiraled much further and faster then I originally thought. The Greek, Bulgarian and Serbian prophesies are moving at a much faster rate. This will not just be a serious scuffle, this will be the war of the Six Powers vs the One Power and the Turks will find final destruction with 1/3rd killed, 1/3rd expelled and 1/3rd converted to Christ. Of the One Power, it will of course be us, the Russians, with minor allies Greece, Cyprus, Israel, Serbia, Bulgaria and Armenia against the Six Powers: Turkey, America, Britain, Canada, France, Egypt. The Germans will not fall into this trap and neither are the Italians willing or stupid enough. They are quickly, as a front line European state, realizing what is their future if all the MidEast and N.Africa goes hard core Islamic. More than likely minor powers, such as Georgia, Azerbaijan, Albania, Bosnia, Belgium, will be involved. The Spanish and the Portuguese are to broke and wise to run into this stupidity, though the Poles and the Baltic states may be egoistic enough to start problems on our borders, even they are not that stupid.
Of the Six Powers, the American will throw some effort, in ship and planes and after taking casualties, will back off, as both sides will seek to keep fighting between the US and Russia from becoming a world war. To that end, Russia will more then likely dump the dollar and the US will nationalize Russian assets in the US, which Russia will do the same to the US and US companies. This in truth, the standard US move, will cause much more damage to the Americans, who still basically embargo Russian investment in the US. The bankrupt Americans and their British allies will pull back. David Cameron, already highly unpopular with a large segment of the population for cutting the very bloated government payrolls, which needs to happen, while splashing cash on his war mongering in Libya, which is utter stupidity, will face open revolt in the streets of London, one he will not be able to put down. The British government will fall and more than likely loose the Falklands to the Argentinians, at the same time.
France will follow suit, and the Canadians will just slink away. The war will really then become between the Islamics and the Orthodox and Jews. Georgia will be the only exception as that Orthodox nation will find itself in bed with its Islamic allies, unable to pull out and with Russian and Armenian forces crushing their weak army. Mass demonstrations will follow and hopefully Saakashvili will receive the Il Duce treatment.
The Egyptians will not be able to extend far enough to help the Turks and will face massive casualties and economic collapse from the Israelis who will be supplied by the Russians and Greeks. The Turks will face bombardment and after heavy fighting, Russian forces will take Constantinople. The Turkish state will rupture from there, with indigenous Kurds and Arabs attacking on the periphery while Russian and allied armies roll through. Mass refugees will poor into Iran, allowed through by the Kurds who will finally have their own state and will be more than happy to help the Turks expel themselves.
Thus will prophecy be complete and the Turkish plague, which came upon the Orthodox world some 900 years ago, be finally cleared and healed.
Doing Business Georgian Style, or How to Screw a Couple of Jews
It is ever so curious how the Western mind rots...er thinks. Here we have the blathering blow hearts of what passes for Western media intelligentsia screaming about Russian corruption this and Russian corruption that, though one would not know it by the volumes of investments flowing ever faster into Russia, but not a word, when its favorite Caucuses Mass Murderer and Eater of Silk, Saakashvili and his government are out to rip you off and throw you in jail for noticing.
Thus begins the curious tale, with the all to common out come, of 61 year old Zeev Frankiel, who was sentenced to 6 years and 6 months in jail and 64 year old Ron Fuchs was sentenced to 7 years. Their crime? Well according to the Georgian mafia, er government, they were caught paying bribes. Their real crimes? The Georgian government of genocider and American neocon hero Misha the New York Lawyer lost a case in the International Arbitration Court to these two men for a tidy sum of $100 million and was not about to pay up a bloody American cent.
To add further insult to injury, both men must now pay additional fines to the Georgians: Frankel 60 000 USD and Fuchs 300, 000 USD.
In 1992 when Ron Fuchs' company received exclusive rights to carry out oil/gas exploration and development work, throughout Georgia. As Gumsahordia's government fell, the new US backed Georgian regime of Shevardnadze revoked the rights and gave them to the Georgian Oil and Gas Company. The Israelis went International Arbitration Court which on February 28, 2010 found for the plaintiffs to the sum of $100 million.
The Georgians lured the two men back into Georgia, with a hand signed invitation from the Georgian Prime Minister, after requesting a meeting in Turkey for a face to face settlement.
After losing the case, Georgian officials reached out to Fuchs and requested a principal-to-principal settlement meeting which took place at a hotel in Istanbul, Turkey in mid-September 2010. This meeting was covertly and illegally videotaped by Georgian officials in an effort to unlawfully entrap Fuchs. The tape shows the Georgian minister repeatedly pressing Fuchs for a payment and attempting to incite Fuchs into making incriminating statements concerning a payment which the Georgian government is now alleging was an offer of a bribe. This conduct so disturbed the government of Turkey that it has since issued a demarche to Georgia protesting the apparent unauthorized use of covert surveillance equipment by Georgian agents while on Turkish soil – which, a Turkish law expert found violated Turkish law.
http://pr-usa.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=677874&Itemid=30
Though many intervened for them, there was no going back in the Saakashvili crime syndicate (by the way, his mother is the richest woman in Georgia: thank you American tax suckers...er serfs...er...what ever). If the Georgians released these men, they would be tacitly admitting they were holding them illegally to begin with.
The trial itself lasted 3 months and Fuchs' lawyers were not permitted to question key witnesses in his case. Furthermore, the court refused almost every defense request to introduce evidence and witnesses. Yes, this truly is model Western Totalitarian Democracy.
I must wonder what that arch American conservative and presidential race horse, The Trump or the Donald thinks of his bosom buddy with whom he was all kissing cousins on TV? Maybe the Trump likes these business practices? Fox News sure seems to approve, and don't even mention the Great Leader Obama, why he loves Saakashvilli almost as much as Bush Jr did.
Transparency International has accused Georgia of practicing "tax terrorism," using tax collection as a tool of political intimidation and control. Shake-downs of investors, foreign and domestic, by Georgian officials are increasingly routine. As described in Freedom House's 2010 Report on Georgia, Georgian authorities abuse state resources, intimidate public employees and opposition activists, and apply improper pressure to a judiciary that suffers from "significant corruption."
The Israelis shit upon themselves hard enough for Georgia, when the Genocider In Chief started his mass murder of Ossessians and the victorious Russian army found him stock full of Israeli toys. Russia is Israel's 2nd main trading partner, main supplier of petro-chemicals and tourists and the Russian Orthodox Church is the biggest private land owner in Israel. Israel's stupidity hurt them hard enough and now this. Once again, they get spit in the eye and as usual do almost nothing.
Sure Georgian chair of the parliament David Bakradze and Minister of Economy Vera Kobalia had their trips canceled. But the Georgian analysts are of one mind that the Jews will buckle under, since after all, Saakashvilli is an American whore and the Israelis know better then to screw with DC. It is amazing how passive the Israelis have become, how well the so called conservatives there take this. A few canceled meetings with the very criminals who kidnapped their citizens. Pathetic.
Of course, if anyone expects either of these men to ever walk free, they are insane as well, at least not if Saakashvilli is still in power. More then likely they will either die from disease in Georgia's prisons or will fall upon someone's knife. Either way, this is a death sentence for both men.
Team Obama Backs Another Islamic Jihad
That tortured land of the Ivory Coast, which much like Nigeria and other nations in the area, has the misfortune to be half Islamic and half Christian, has another champion behind it: the World's Great Leader, product of Jihad USA Inc.
That is correct, Lord Obama has placed his mark on you, and like everything he has touched, pondered or pledged on, you have turned to crap or rather worse crap then you already were in.
"Last year's election was free and fair, and President Alassane Ouattara is the democratically elected leader of the nation," Obama said in a video message late Friday. http://edition.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/africa/03/26/ivory.coast.obama/?hpt=T2
What is not mentioned in this is that the elections were far from free and fair and that the elected man, Ouattara, is an Islamic Jihadist from the north, leading the rape and murder of the southern Christians, who thank the Good Lord, are not going peacefully and are fighting this wretched scum and villainy, tooth and claw.
Then this piece surfaced, displaying just what scum, US Jihad Inc is backing again:
The single biggest atrocity in the long battle for control of Ivory Coast has emerged after aid workers discovered the bodies of up to 1,000 people in the town of Duekoue.
Charity workers who reached Duekoue said it appeared the killings had taken place in a single day, shortly after the town fell to troops loyal to Alassane Ouattara, the man internationally-recognised as having won last year's presidential election.
The apparent massacre came despite the presence of United Nations troops and - if confirmed - will cast a shadow over Mr Outtara's assumption of the Ivory Coast's presidency after a four-month battle to oust Lawrence Gbagbo, the former president who lost the November election but refused to step down.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/8423651/Ivory-Coast-aid-workers-find-1000-bodies-in-Duekoue.html
Damn those REAL conservatives in the UK, as opposed to the big money military industrial shills in the US, for pointing this out. Of course, most of the conservatives in the US could never find the Ivory Coast on a map, nor would care to, nor would these so called Christians really care about real Christian martyrs being massacred, since after all, its not in their neighborhood and will not affect prices at Walmart and Burger King.
But then this proves how quite correct Lord Obama was when he said these words, and he should know, being so well acquainted with Islam:
Obama warned that if Gbagbo does not step down, it will lead to "more violence, more innocent civilians being wounded and killed, and more diplomatic and economic isolation."
http://edition.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/africa/03/26/ivory.coast.obama/?hpt=T2
Previously the UN, itself dominated by Islamic nations and their proxies, stated that the clashes of the past 4 months have left over 450 people dead. Well, best up that estimate by a 3 fold or so. Again, of course, to most on the United Nations "Human" Rights board, better known as Defend Shari Board, these victims are not humans but dogs and pigs, as guided by their ever peace loving faith.
That Ouattara, who won in a UN sponsored election by 54%, which is well within a margin of error, has declared his drive to enforce Shari on the Christians, has been celebrated by the likes of Obama and his "Western Man-Gods" should come as no surprise to anyone. That many of those who voted were not citizens but Islamic fighters and settlers from other neighboring Islamic states, to bolster the Islamic north, is also not a surprise, it is, after all, the Kosovo strategy. That the UN and the West choose to ignore this, is equally normal behavior in this age of Christless hypocrisy.
Thus that tyrants will use elections to come to power is really nothing new, just review how the likes of Hitler, Mussolini and Lenin first rose up, before clamping down and murdering any who stood in their way.
Lord Obama further stated:
Ivorians deserve leaders who can restore their rightful place in the world, the president said.
What he missed saying was: and as soon as we are done destroying Libya and handing it over to the Muslim Brotherhood, just like we did in Tunisia and Egypt and will do in Syria, we will be along to improve your lives also, by solving your Christian problem.
Israel, you'd better listen, you are on that list too.
Western Hypocrisy: Lands Stolen From Whites Are Never To Be Returned
The Western Man-Gods are ever in a humble mood when serving non-white victim claims and ever the beastal savages when the issue is that of oppressed whites. Not only do these servants of Satan oppress their own whites, first with mass migration of third worlders then when the locals are upset, with draconian thought crime laws.
But as bad as all of this is, and it is evil, at least in these cases, it is the owners and elites of the Totalitarian Democracies aka Police States of the West doing it to their own.
However, throughout the past 600 years, especially in the past 60 years, the West has been busy betraying whites to non-whites.
The claims on stolen land are tremendous. The Boers are a prime example in southern Africa. They settled a barren empty land and built something there, only to be conquered by the British, who then brought in millions of black Africans as cheap labour. Then the whole thing was collapsed and those black Africans, most of them, themselves immigrants, given the right to rape and murderer the Boers and Africaners off of their land.
Then there is all of North Africa, previously Philistine, Greek and Roman lands and then Germanic, after those invasions. All of that land was stolen by the Muslim Arabs, who to this day continue pogroms against the few indigenous residents left. Note how Egypt ousted almost 20% of its population, all Coptic Christians (real Egyptians as opposed to the Muslim Arabs sitting there now) and 2/3rds of the Christians of that day. They continue persecutions against the remaining Christian Copts (Egyptians) to this day. Now that the Muslim Brotherhood, with American and UK cash and political backing, is coming to power, the persecutions are sky rocketing.
Then there is the case of Cyprus, a Greek territory from the times when America's ancestors were still covered in furs and sitting around fires. When the Asian Turk invaded Cyprus and started the civil war in the 1970s, it was with US blessings and US weapons. That over a hundred thousand Greek Cypriots were massacred, matters nothing. That these people are now pushing to get half their island back, well, we know whose corner these "man-gods" are in and it's not the indigenous whites.
Same goes for all of Asia Minor, where the local indigenous Greeks, Armenians, Khurds were over run by Arabs and Asian Turks and have been oppressed for the better of the past 1300 years.
Even the Greeks, Bulgars and Romanians, having made their devil's bargain, by joining the EU, are now being forced to swallow waves upon waves of Arabic Muslims, Pakistanis and yes, those ever so lovable Turks, all as "refuges" aka invaders.
To make the point simply: North Africa, southern Africa, Asia Minor, Kazakhstan, and much of the Middle East were all white lands, though not German Aryan lands, that have been invaded and those invaders, under the banner of Islam and with the moral, financial and military backing of the Man-Gods, continue their invasions and genocides to this very day.

Malaysia: GDPR – Are You Ready For It?
by SKRINE
Neo Hwee Yong discusses the new data protection law in the European Union.
In recent years, the world has seen unprecedented privacy breaches as the global population sees the gradual but unavoidable shift of information into cyberspace. In 2013, it was reported that Yahoo! had suffered a data breach that impacted three billion user accounts.
In 2017, Equifax, a major US credit rating agency, reported that it had suffered a data breach which leaked personal information, such as names, social security numbers, birth dates, addresses and driver's licence numbers, belonging to some 143 million consumers. On 1 March 2018, Equifax announced that further investigations disclosed that the data breach affected a further 2.4 million consumers, bringing the total number affected to almost 145.5 million.
Back home in Malaysia, it has recently been reported that major privacy breaches which may have affected almost the entire population resulted in personal information, such as mobile phone numbers, identification card numbers, home addresses and SIM card data, belonging to some 46.2 million mobile phone users being leaked. The gravity of such breaches cannot be understated, particularly where the information leaked allows criminals to commit identity theft.
In the most recent controversy, it was reported in March 2018 that personal data belonging to approximately 50 million Facebook users, including likes by the users on the Facebook platform, were accessed and used without consent by Cambridge Analytica, a data analytics firm, for the purpose of building a powerful software programme to predict and influence choices at the ballot box.
In light of major privacy breaches over the years, the European Union ("EU") has adopted the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) ("GDPR") as the new EU data protection framework in April 2016. The GDPR is slated to come into force on 25 May 2018 in place of Directive 95/46/EC (General Data Protection Regulation). However, what would this mean for businesses in Malaysia?
WHAT DOES THE GDPR MEAN FOR BUSINESSES IN MALAYSIA?
Trade between Malaysia and EU has grown steadily over the years with reported figures of RM15.46 billion in trade, of which RM8.61 billion comprises exports from Malaysia to the EU. As such, it is imperative for Malaysian businesses, particularly those which trade with parties in the EU, to understand the impact of the implementation of the GDPR due to its wide extra-territorial scope.
The GDPR differs fundamentally from our Personal Data Protection Act 2010 ("PDPA") as it applies to businesses and companies within and outside the EU which process personal data of data subjects who are in the EU in the context of offering of goods or services (free or otherwise) to such data subjects or the monitoring of their behaviour as far as their behaviour takes place within the EU (Article 3(2) GDPR). In contrast, the PDPA only applies to personal data in respect of commercial transactions and does not apply to businesses and companies outside of Malaysia unless they use equipment in Malaysia for processing of personal data otherwise than for purposes of transit through Malaysia. This significant and ambitious undertaking by the EU would mean that businesses undertaking any of the activities mentioned in Article 3(2) would be caught by the GDPR, regardless of where they are located in the world, including Malaysia. Indeed, one of the rationales behind the adoption of the GDPR is to ensure that the greater control and protection given to EU citizens over how their personal data is processed will not be defeated simply by transferring the personal data or relocating the business to a place outside of the EU.
In relation to what amounts to offering of goods and services to data subjects in the EU, the GDPR clarifies in its recitals that it must be apparent that the relevant business or company envisages offering goods and services to data subjects in the EU. The recitals explain that while it is insufficient to only consider mere accessibility of the business website in the EU or the use of a language generally used in the third country where the business is established, certain factors may make it apparent that the business or company envisages offering goods or services to data subjects in the EU e.g. the use of a language or a currency generally used in the EU with the possibility of ordering goods and services in that other language, or mentioning EU customers or users.
On the other hand, monitoring of behaviours involves the tracking of the behaviour of data subjects on the Internet and the subsequent processing of such personal data for other purposes, such as profiling in order to make decisions regarding the data subject or to analyse or predict the data subject's personal preferences, behaviours and attitudes.
WHAT IF I'M ALREADY COMPLIANT WITH THE PDPA?
The GDPR contains a number of requirements which are not found in the PDPA, of which some are highlighted below. Therefore, where the GDPR applies, businesses and companies in Malaysia must ensure compliance with the same.
Article 17 of the GDPR provides data subjects in certain circumstances with the right to require data users to erase personal data (right to be forgotten) concerning him or her without undue delay e.g. the personal data is no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed. Where the personal data has been made public by the data user, the GDPR further imposes upon the data user an obligation to take reasonable steps to inform other data users which are processing the personal data of such request for erasure.
Article 20 of the GDPR grants data subjects in certain circumstances the right to receive from the data user personal data concerning him or her in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and the right to transmit those data to another data user without hindrance. This also includes the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one data user to another, where it is technically feasible.
Data breach notification
There is currently no data breach notification requirement under the PDPA. The GDPR, however, places an obligation on the data user to notify the supervisory authority (i.e. the independent public authority responsible for monitoring the application of the GDPR within each Member State) and the relevant data subject of the personal data breach.
Under Article 33, data users are required to notify the supervisory authority of any personal data breach (including the nature of the breach and the likely consequences thereof) within 72 hours of becoming aware of it, unless the breach is unlikely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons.
Article 34 requires data users to communicate to the relevant data subject, without undue delay, any personal data breach which is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, unless the prescribed exemptions apply e.g. it would involve disproportionate effort.
The GDPR also introduces the requirement to carry out a data protection impact assessment ("DPIA") where processing is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons by virtue of their nature, scope, context and purposes (e.g. processing involving the use of new technologies). The purpose of the assessment is to ascertain the impact of the envisaged processing operations on the protection of personal data. Article 35 emphasises that a DPIA should be required in the following circumstances:
A systematic and extensive evaluation of the personal aspects relating to natural persons which is based on automated processing that produces legal effects concerning the natural person or similarly affects such person in a significant way;
Large-scale processing of special categories of personal data, biometric data, or criminal or security records for purposes of making decisions regarding the data subject; or
A systematic monitoring of publicly assessable area on a large-scale.
Article 37 of the GDPR requires data users and data processors to designate a Data Protection Officer ("DPO") in certain circumstances, e.g. where the processing is carried out by a public authority or body (except for courts acting in their judicial capacity) or the core activities involve processing on a large-scale of special categories of data and personal data relating to criminal convictions and offences.
Designation of representative in the EU
Article 27 requires data users and data processors who are not established in the EU but are caught under Article 3(2) of the GDPR to designate in writing a representative in the EU, unless (i) the processing is occasional and does not include processing on a large-scale of special categories of data or personal data relating to criminal convictions and offences and is unlikely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons; or (ii) the data user or data processor is a public authority or body. One of the main purposes of such a representative is to act on behalf of the data user or data processor as a point of contact with any supervisory authority on any matter relating to the GDPR.
Under the PDPA, direct obligations are only placed on data users and not data processors, although in certain circumstances the former is required to contractually bind the latter to ensure compliance with the PDPA.
Unlike the PDPA, the GDPR imposes direct obligations on data processors. These obligations include the obligation to: (i) obtain specific or general written authorisation of the data user prior to engaging another processor; (ii) process personal data only on instructions from the data user; (iii) designate, in certain circumstances, a representative established in the EU (if the data processor is not established in the EU); (iv) designate a DPO in certain circumstances; and (v) inform the data user of any personal data breach without undue delay after becoming aware of the same.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I DON'T COMPLY?
The GDPR prescribes the imposition of hefty fines for non-compliance based on the provisions in question. Article 83 permits the relevant supervisory authority to impose a fine of up to EUR10 million or up to 2% of the total worldwide annual turnover of the preceding financial year in the case of an undertaking, whichever is higher, for breach of certain provisions such as the requirement to carry out a DPIA.
A fine of up to EUR20 million or up to 4% of the total worldwide annual turnover of the preceding financial year in the case of an undertaking, whichever is higher, may be imposed for breach of certain provisions such as the basic principles for processing, including conditions for consent.
HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO COMPLY?
The 2-year grace period following the adoption of the GDPR will expire on 25 May 2018. Businesses and companies must ensure compliance with the GDPR by that date.
The PDPA has only been in force for less than five years and many businesses and companies in Malaysia are still struggling to ensure compliance with the same.
The implementation of the GDPR means that businesses and companies in Malaysia that are required to comply with the GDPR would have to conduct internal assessments in order to ensure compliance with the GDPR by 25 May 2018 or risk the imposition of fines and penalties. However, the extent of enforcement which the supervisory authorities are willing to take against data users and data processors established outside of the EU under this new data protection framework remains to be seen.

A few bits and pieces from the opening days of the Masters.
competition… with no one ever going on to win the Masters itself. Watson stopped competing in 2016.
Tony Finau dislocated his ankle in Wednesday's par three contest following a hole-in-one celebration. The crowd groaned as Finau stumbled and dropped to one knee to pop it back into place. Everybody assumed this would put him out of the Masters but after doctors, hospitals and MRIs confirmed the injury, Finau still made it to the tee on Thursday… and he went on to shot a 68 for a share of 2nd place despite having to alter his swing to avoid putting too much pressure on the ankle. Please don't try this at home, folks.
The early morning video showed how cold it was as Jack Nicklaus's frosty breath spilled through the air. Gary Player (82) almost shed a tear as he and Jack (78) were introduced, despite being an old hand at Augusta: he has appeared here 52 times. Gary teed off with a Callaway ball; Jack used a Taylormade.
Spieth has now held the lead after 9 rounds… from 17 attempts at Augusta.
I'm not even going to mention Sergio's 15th hole disaster, except to say that Twitter was on fire with Kevin Costner gifs. If this had happened in reverse order those closing scenes in Tin Cup would be considered a documentary. Sergio's 81 (+9) is the worst ever score by a defending champion.
It was the worst score on the 15th by two shots and it equalled the scores of Tommy Nakajima in 1978 (13 on the par five 13th), and Tom Weiskopf in 1980 (13 on the par three 12th).
Henrik Stenson celebrated his 42ndbirthday on Thursday… and celebrate he did with a –3 round (69) that included 5 birdies.
Amateur Ghim made eagle on the 18th, it was his second of the day after making eagle on the par five 13th. His dad is his caddie.

To Stowe, Uncle Tom lived the fictional personification of the suffering of slavery as recounted to her by a Marylander who experienced it firsthand.
The man who inspired Uncle Tom, Josiah Henson, was born into slavery near Port Tobacco in Charles County around 1789. Auctioned off as a child to pay his owner's debt, Henson endured numerous trials and abuse, before earning the trust of his slaveholder by intelligence and skill.
Eventually, he escaped to Canada with his wife and children. There he established a settlement and school for fugitives and repeatedly returned to the United States to help lead others to freedom along the Underground Railroad.
Henson became a popular preacher, lecturer and international celebrity. Before Uncle Tom's Cabin, he published with abolitionist friend Samuel Atkins Eliot his own bestselling autobiography, The Life of Josiah Henson, Formerly a Slave, Now an Inhabitant of Canada, as Narrated by Himself.
Now, Southern Maryland author and professor emerita at College of Southern Maryland Edna M. Troiano gives Josiah Henson and his alter-ego Uncle Tom new life. Her book, Uncle Tom's Journey from Maryland to Canada: The Life of Josiah Henson, chronicles his experiences by exploring sites in Maryland devoted to his memory.
Troiano wrote this book, she says, because learning of Henson's existence on her 2016 visit to the La Grange historic site in La Plata was such an eye-opener.

Dreams of holidays help Brits beat credit crunch
The thought of taking holidays in Spain and other sun-soaked destinations is helping many Brits get through the credit crunch, it has been claimed.
According to the Association of British Travel Agents (Abta), 50 per cent of people believe that a break abroad will provide a "vital escape" from credit crunch pressures.
Furthermore, the study shows that holidays are three times more prized than pay increases.
Commenting on the findings, psychotherapist and life coach Christine Webber, who developed the study, said that looking forward to a holiday can help people to focus more on current tasks.
Enjoy a romantic getaway at La Manga Club
Britons looking to escape the chilly winter weather and enjoy a romantic getaway this Valentine's Day may wish to consider a break at La Manga Club in Spain.
Couples can enjoy a gourmet meal in one of the resort's fine restaurants or perhaps indulge in some relaxing spa treatments.
A number of great-value deals are currently on offer and couples can also make the most of the resort's exceptional sports and leisure facilities, which include three championship golf courses and 28 multi-surface tennis courts.
In related news, a number of airlines slashed their fares on flights to Spain, with Ryanair, bmibaby and easyJet announcing price cuts last week.
Top credit crunch holiday tips
The pound's exchange rate with the euro and dollar may be unfavourable at the moment, but holidaymakers can still find ways of cutting their costs, it has been claimed.
Writing in the Travel Mail, Anne Shooter said there are plenty of good-value deals on holidays to Spain and other destinations for those prepared to shop around and plan ahead.
Taking out an annual travel insurance policy is one way to save money, particularly for families that take holidays regularly throughout the year and pre-booking airport car parking is also advisable.
Using a debit or credit card which doesn't charge for overseas' transactions can also help to cut costs, as well as shopping around for the best foreign exchange deals.
Holidays in Spain offer 'fantastic value'
Spain will always have a special place in the hearts of British holidaymakers and continues to offer excellent value for money, it has been claimed.
Despite the strength of the euro, there are still some fantastic deals to be had on holidays to Spain and there are several ways in which travellers can cut their costs, the Telegraph reports.
Getting to Spain is very cheap, with several budget airlines serving the country.
Those offering regular flights to Spain include easyJet, Ryanair, Flybe and Iberia, with the majority of those serving popular tourist hotspots such as Murcia, Malaga and Alicante.
British holidaymakers 'expand their horizons'
An increasing number of Britons are travelling abroad to take part in cultural pursuits and learn about other countries, it has been revealed.
A recent poll by the Association of British Travel Agents revealed that just five per cent of people travel abroad to attract members of the opposite sex, while an impressive 18 per cent spend their holidays visiting cultural attractions.
Other reasons given for taking holidays in Spain and other destinations include relaxing and taking a break from routine.
Commenting on the results, Casia Zajac, head of communications at the organisation, said: "Holidays are important to people in different ways but the research is clear that holidays are a vital part of people's year and still will be this year despite the economic downturn.
Brits search for cheap flights to Spain
The number of Britons searching for flights to Spain and other popular destinations is on the increase.
Flight search engine Skyscanner said that despite a recent report by Hitwise suggesting that flight searches are down, it has seen a 32 per cent rise in online flight search traffic in the last year.
The number of foreign visitors travelling to the UK is also on the increase.
Commenting on the travel industry's prospects for 2009, Barry Smith, co-founder of Skyscanner, said: "There's no doubting that 2009 will be a tough year for the online travel industry, but our data suggests that either Skyscanner is bucking the downward trend.
PGA: Spanish holidays 'ideal for golf'
Golf holidays in Spain have been hailed as an ideal choice for those who prefer the finer things in life.
The Professional Golfers Association (PGA) claimed Spain and Portugal are two places where connoisseurs can find a combination of great golf facilities and culture, heritage and cuisine.
Spain, the PGA claims, is the new leader of European gastronomy, while wines from areas such as Andalucia, Ribera del Duero, Galicia and Catalonia are cementing the nation's reputation as a home of good wine.
There is also the added bonus of the great weather that the Iberian peninsula enjoys.
No 'golf holiday in La Manga' for Welsh star
Jo Pritchard is currently enjoying her time on the fairways of La Manga's championship courses, but it is far from a golf holiday in Spain for Pontypool's finest.
The professional is currently in fifth spot after the final pre-qualifying round for the Qualifying School at La Manga Club, having finished on 72 in two consecutive rounds.
Five of her compatriots are also in the top 50, which bodes well for Welsh women's golf going into the final qualifiers.
The Q-School represents the final chance for women to get on to the European tour.

I thought all the Pokémon died out with the dinosaurs?
For the past week, fully grown humans have been chasing fictional creatures in pursuit of I Don't Know What on a game called Pokémon GO. Quite frankly, it's madness.
Though millions are playing the game, there is a large, but silent, majority that have not. In that group, profound questions are being asked: have people gone mad? Is this the end of the world as we know it? What the f*ck is a Pokémon gym?
So we are less alone, this post is in honour of all those that don't have a clue what's going on. Stay strong, comrades, it will all be over soon.
1. Literally, what the eff is happening?
2. You see this and think someone must be having a bad trip.
3. The rise in Pokémon poetry is making your eyes bleed.
4. How!? Did Pikachu do the dumbbells for you?
honestly i'm more exhausted from #PokemonGo than i am from the gym.
5. Don't worry Kami, you are not alone.
6. Nope. Nothing. No idea.
7. Is a rare Pokémon the same as a rare pepe?
I hope there's some really rare Pokemon at the show tonight 4 y'all.
8. WHAT THE HELL HAVE THEY DONE TO MY PRECIOUS PEPE? THERE WILL BE BLOOD FOR THIS.
9. That time everyone else downloaded Pokémon GO and killed your social life for good.
10. The more Pokémon-related things you see, the deeper your resentment grows.
11. Two weeks ago I would have assumed this tweet was about Grindr.
12. Leave the real animals out of this war of attrition ffs.
13. Why are people ridiculing their children like this?
"Are you trying to take a picture"
14. You're not even on the game but you feel like you are.

Leonardo 1452-1519. The Design of the World at Palazzo Reale
The greatest Leonardo da Vinci exhibition ever held in Italy opens at Milan's Palazzo Reale on 16th April 2015. Leonardo 1452-1519. The Design of the World features over 200 works coming from a hundred museums and institutions from around the world, like the three paintings from the Louvre and thirty autograph drawings from the collection of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The exhibition is promoted by the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Municipality of Milan, realized and produced by Palazzo Reale and Skira, and inaugurates the cultural season starting together with Expo 2015. It is not a celebrative exhibition, it highlights Da Vinci's ability to combine scientific thought with creative talent, art and technology, through some central themes pinpointed by curators: the fundamental theme of drawings; the continuous arts comparison: paintings, drawings, sculptures; the comparison with the ancient; the new "movements of the spirit"; his tension toward utopian projects, real dreams, like being able to fly or walk on the water; and lastly the mechanical automation.
The show is organized into twelve sections illustrating the key themes in the artistic and scientific career of Leonardo, which includes the years of the Florentine training, his two experiences in Milan, up to the stay in France, underlining the constants of his artistic and scientific vision. It vividly emerges his interdisciplinary orientation and the continuous interlace of interests, through the analogical study approach to phenomena and their graphic representation.
The exhibition presents seven extraordinary masterpieces from Leonardo: St Jerome from the Pinacoteca Vaticana, the Dreyfus Madonna and Child with a Pomegranate from the National Gallery of Art in Washington, La Scapiliata (Head of a Woman) from the Galleria Nazionale di Parma, Portrait of a Musician from the Biblioteca Ambrosiana. The three paintings from the Louvre are particularly important: La Belle Ferronière, the Annunciation and St John the Baptist. Moreover, there will be some original Leonardo's codex and at least hundred autograph drawings, like the Trivulzian Codex 2162.

On Sunday I finally got a chance to log in and try out the new 5.2 Shadow-Pan Assault stuff. In general I like the dailies.. honestly I -love- being a leaping lizard. In specific.. I dislike doing dailies that don't result in an immediate reputation gain. I -get- that I'm moving the needle along for unlocking the content.. but it's dissatisfying. It's ESPECIALLY dissatisfying since my chance of experiencing the unlocked content and getting into the raid is nearly null.. and yet the good gear is gated by a reputation that I can't get unless I run the raid. That's just annoying.
Regardless, eventually my curiosity got the best of me. I can't stand to be kept out of an area by a silly little wall. So I wandered off to check things out.
Finding #1: The Thunder King's tugboat is kinda spiffy looking.
Finding #2: Sheer cliff walls are sheer.
The two mini-bosses up there are pretty cool. I managed to down both of them. Of the two, the blood one (Fleshcrafter Hoku) was the more difficult. I didn't see any Troves up there.. I don't know if that's because there aren't any until the content is unlocked.. or if I didn't see one because I'd already gotten a Trove that day. Dunno. Eventually I got bored with poking around forbidden content and went back to the new dailies.
I am a little bit puzzled. At the end of running the dailies I was checking with the quartermaster and found that one of the trinkets would be a HUGE upgrade for me. The Trinket requires Friendly reputation. So I checked my rep with SPA. I'm currently at neutral 290/3000. The curious part is I haven't run the raid at all.. so the fact that I have -any- reputation with SPA is very curious. Teh Intarwebz says that the only way to get that reputation is through the raid. So.. I guess my current plan is to see if I can jump into a few trash runs on the raid and then use that to get up to 2999/3000 neutral and then do a quest to get into friendly. Can I even do trash runs if my gear is below the raid limit?
I think the Raid Finder will also give the correct rep, so you don't need to find a raid.
I know I picked up about 600 SPA rep from a quest reward.

I joined the D Young & Co biotechnology, chemistry and pharmaceuticals patent team in 2015. My background is in biochemistry and I relish the opportunity to work on exciting new technologies and developments in a number of fields in this area.
Before starting at the firm, I'd worked in private practice for eight years. Since then, my client base has expanded alongside my expertise. I'm particularly passionate about matters around molecular biology, genetics and genetic engineering, immunology, including the field of immuno-oncology, and biochemistry.
I've worked with a diverse range of clients of all sizes, from single inventors, SMEs and academic spin-outs, to large multinationals. My practice includes drafting, prosecution and opposition work, as well as all aspects of coordinating filing and prosecuting patent portfolios in many different jurisdictions.

Drug resistance and heterogeneous long-term virologic responses of human immunodeficiency virus type 1-infected subjects to zidovudine and didanosine combination therapy. The AIDS Clinical Trials Group 143 Virology Team.
Shafer RW., Iversen AK., Winters MA., Aguiniga E., Katzenstein DA., Merigan TC.
Plasma human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type 1 RNA levels, CD4 lymphocyte changes, and drug resistance were studied in HIV-infected patients with 200-500 CD4 lymphocytes/microL who received zidovudine and didanosine combination therapy for 2 years. Among 35 patients, 10 had sustained and 16 had transient > 10-fold reductions in HIV RNA: 9 did not have 10-fold HIV RNA reductions. Only patients with sustained HIV suppression maintained increased CD4 cell counts for 2 years (370 to 501 cells/microL; P = .006). Patients with transient HIV suppression were more likely to develop drug-resistant HIV strains (12/16 vs. 5/19, P = .01) and reverse transcriptase (RT) mutations (4.5 vs. 2.5/strain; P = .02) than were patients with sustained or no HIV suppression. Zidovudine resistance occurred with RT mutations at codons 41, 67, 70, 215, and 219. Multidrug resistance occurred with mutations at codons 62, 75, 77, 116, and 151. Mutations occurred at codons 60, 68, 118, 210, and 228 in > or = 4 patients each. Heterogeneity exists among individual virologic responses to zidovudine and didanosine combination therapy. HIV resistance mechanisms during combination therapy appear more complex than reported with monotherapy.

Vacuum flow restrictors which allows a few suction cups to miss the object(s) and still maintain enough vacuum level in the system.
Suitable for handling different size sealed sheets/objects with the same flexible lifting device.
The vacuum flow restrictors shall be used in a centralized vacuum system, one for each suction cup.
Designing with flow restrictors will require a smaller vacuum pump and save energy.
Available in three sizes with different flow performance/characteristics to suit different size suction cups.
The restrictors are integrated in an Al-fittng with female and male threaded connections to faciliate installation.
Vacuum check valves which allows a few suction cups to miss the object(s) and still maintain enough vacuum level in the system with quick response and release times.
The vacuum check valves shall be used in a centralized vacuum system, one for each suction cup.
Designing with vacuum check valves will require a smaller vacuum pump and save energy.
Suitable for handling different size or different number of leaking objects such as MDF boards, corrugated cardboards, with a flexible handling device.
Also suitable for objects with surface leakage around the lip of the suction cup.
Available in three sizes with different flow performance/characteristics to suit different degree of leakage.
The valves are integrated in an Al-fittng with female and male threaded connections to faciliate installation.
Equalises pressure in the suction cups to provide fast release of the product.
Extra fast release by accumulating and utilising the feed-air pressure as a boost.
ON/OFF activated simultaneously with the ejector.
No additional controls required — use a single 3/2 control valve for the ejector and piSAVE release.
Independent pneumatic air-saving device for vacuum pumps.
Adjustable vacuum controlled 2/2 NO valve.
Available with large hysteresis for object handling and small hysteresis for process applications.
The Vacustat is recommended for vacuum pumps in non-leaking systems.
The vacuum pump must be fitted with a non-return valve.
Extra port for Vacuum gauge.
Air ventilation port with filter.
piSAVE optimize gives maximum feed pressure/flow to vacuum pump/ejector until vacuum level starts to build up.
Upgrade kit - available as an integrated module for piCLASSIC and Classic vacuum pumps.
