Bullshit. The poorest segment of US society eats better and lives longer and healthier than the richest kings of old. If you or they don't want to eat at a F***ing McDonalds then don't eat there. I hear the SW Chicken at Subway is good.....

Hope and change baby, hope and change. It's only money. 14 trillion. Congressional budget office projected deficit below: Ahhhh, fuck it, why even discuss it, just give the bill to your kids. Why worry, be Happpppyyyyy!

Ule Kunkle climbs? Dude on the right? hmmm

http://www.portlandrockclimbs.com/portland-rock-climbs Right yo Ivan! PS, thanks for the shout out and the book Tim! I'll get (at least) one soon.

Nicely spoken, nothing to add to this........

Recent newz that Climbmax, a local PDX store that did a kick assed job on climbing equipment, will be closing, is particularly hard to hear.

No and no. It just means that they will pay what they should have ponied up the first time. If they sell shit that falls apart and causes injury or death, they face what all Mfgs and importers face in this country. ie, they are responsible.

Big time x 10! REI can kiss my ass....after I use my 20% off thinggy of course. Shit http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2014151086_skier07m.html

Thats white people ad-hominy! all it needs is bacon or pig added..........

Fantastic find and story JB! RIGHT ON FOR THE GREAT FIND DUDE! Thanks for sharing that one. We're all getting steamrolled. Hey Prole, you see this one? You earlier asked about expanded government, where it was....here you are. Already at your house and in your life, you just don't know it yet. These dudes have way too much money and time on their hands. Our only shot at even slowing it down is to defund the pricks.

Birth certificate or it didn't happen man! Congrats Porter!

Holy amazing group of links jb. Thank you, that's a lot of shit to get through to. Going to be a while to work through it. Buckaroo will most like see some vindication in his points as well. Those attacking him personally will most likely not even read this stuff I'd suspect. Love the comments under some of the stories as well. These folks are obviously intelligent and informed....ie, "Posted by Cee, Feb 24 2011, 12:25PM - Link Ten years ago in Censored 2001 yearbook reported on how U.S. Army’s Psychological Operations Personnel Worked at CNN. http://www.projectcensored.org/top-stories/articles/3-us-armys-psychological-operations-personnel-worked-at-cnn/ From June 1999 to March 2000, CNN employed military specialists in ‘psychological operations’ (Psyops) in their Southeast TV bureau and CNN radio division “Psyops personnel, soldiers, and officers, have been working in CNN’s headquarters in Atlanta through our program ‘Training With Industry,’” Major Thomas Collins of the U.S. Army Information Service said in a telephone interview on February 18, 2000. Collins asserted, “They worked as regular employees of CNN. Conceivably, they would have worked on stories during the Kosovo war. They helped in the production of news.” Psyops also had team members working at National Public Radio (NPR). This prompted two NPR stories on the program “All Things Considered.” Jeffrey Dvorkin, NPR’s vice president for news, stated, “We recruited from the army and got three interns, and that was a mistake. And when we discovered that they were from Psyops branch, we finished the arrangement, and it won’t happen again.” Now the US Military, it turns out, has been embedding active duty PSYOPs solders in other stations and again at CNN. According to John Cook writing in The Upshot (blog), Yahoo! News, October 1, 2010 http://news.yahoo.com/s/yblog_upshot/20101001/us_yblog_upshot/army-embeds-active-duty-psyops-soldiers-at-local-tv-stations, the U.S. Army has used local television stations in the U.S. as training posts for some of its psychological-operations personnel, The Upshot has learned. Since at least 2001, both WRAL, a CBS affiliate in Raleigh, N.C., and WTOC, a CBS affiliate in Savannah, Ga., have regularly hosted active-duty soldiers from the Army’s 4th Psychological Operations group as part of the Army’s Training With Industry program. Training With Industry is designed to offer career soldiers a chance to pick up skills through internships and fellowships with private businesses. The PSYOPS soldiers used WRAL and WTOC to learn broadcasting and communications expertise that they could apply in their mission, as the Army describes it, of “influenc[ing] the emotions, motives, objective reasoning, and ultimately the behavior of foreign audiences.” "

Holy Shite! Add me to the list of grateful readers. Liked your followup commentary and I would be interested in what you were doing in the gym and for your shoulder specifiably if you have time. Badassed for sure@!

Ditto what he said. Sorry to hear about this. I was in Yos and got a text that this had occurred. 99.5% of the time, anytime a rap accident occurs, it seems to be user error. Damn sad nonetheless. The story said that 2 "experienced" climbers who were in their 20's were with him.....50' fall could very well be that he wasn't connected and stepped off the edge thinking he was. Any info? As usual, the newz has all but totally missed what ever it was that most likely really happened.

Tell me again: is it just the moss holding all those blocks together Teh? View of the other side of the Phallus: Back when the undammed high river flows killed the trees at the base, well, you can see why it doesn't look like a "Rooster" at all to pioneer folks floating down that treacherous part of the Oregon Trail, or other locals.(insert Cliff Claven moment here) "The Chinook Jargon word for the rock was iwash, referring to penis"...:-) Reference below: you can't easily make up shit like that. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rooster_Rock_State_Park

You talking about this? http://www.prisonplanet.com/us-government-contractor-claims-al-qaeda-has-confirmed-bin-laden-fairytale.html "Friday, May 6, 2011 One of the groups behind the endless fake Bin Laden tapes and a contractor for the US government tells us that “Al-Qaeda” has confirmed the death of Osama. Although Bin Laden has been dead since 2001, the fact the US government is having to rely on the notorious SITE Institute to prop up the crumbling Bin Laden fable that was manufactured on Sunday night shows how desperate the White House has become in its bid to sell the public on more terror fearmongering. “Al Qaeda released a statement on jihadist forums confirming the death of its leader, Osama bin Laden, according to SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors militant messages,” reports CNN. “The statement, translated by SITE, lauded the late militant, threatened to take action against the United States, and urged Pakistanis to “rise up and revolt.” SITE’s claim that “Al-Qaeda” has confirmed the official White House version of events concerning the death of Bin Laden, thereby lending presumed credence to a narrative that has quickly attracted derision and suspicion even amongst mainstream journalists, is about as credible as if Barney the Purple Dinosaur had made a statement assuring us that Osama was killed on Sunday evening. SITE is a US military-industrial complex front and has been caught red-handed releasing fake Al-Qaeda tapes on numerous occasions. The SITE organization is nothing more than a contractor for the U.S. government, receiving some $500,000 a year annually from Uncle Sam, the majority of which is paid for by U.S. taxpayers. The group was founded by Rita Katz, the daughter of an executed Israeli spy. Katz has worked closely with the Department of Justice, Department of the Treasury, and the Department of Homeland Security. SITE’s website content was found to be largely copied from the U.S. State Department. “SITE’s “Terrorism Library, on cursory investigation, looks to be a straight data scrape from the U.S. Department of State’s Patterns of Global Terrorism – 2003, Appendix B,” notes SourceWatch. This organization is nothing more than a dummy group which acts as a conduit for Pentagon propaganda. Everything about SITE indicates that it is nothing more than a trojan horse that is regularly used by the military-industrial complex to release staged Al-Qaeda videotapes as part of the ongoing propaganda offensive to justify the brutal, pointless and manufactured war on terror."

The wanker's view from down under LINK Which says: "How secretive and shabby the Americans are There was no rejoicing in Times Square when Hirohito died, though he ordered the killing of 2350 Americans in Pearl Harbor. I remember no such gladness when Hitler died, or Ho Chi Minh, or Mao Tse Tung. Or Che Guevara. Or Salvador Allende. Or Joseph Stalin. These laughing, flag-waving, crowded scenes outside the White House and across America have no precedent (except, perhaps, in the South when Lincoln was shot) and it is to be wondered why they occurred. There was a magical-realist quality to Osama Bin Laden. He looked like the risen Christ, and was often thought dead and came always back to life. His broadcasts needed always to be authenticated because the CIA wanted him dead. He’d humiliated them so enormously they kept saying he was dead. He was ‘on dialysis’, they asserted, wrongly; he had to be dead by now. 9/11 was so clever. He had to be dead. And once again they are covering up, and in denial. As with John F Kennedy, whose brain was stolen, his car washed of its blood, film of his autopsy made to vanish, his alleged assassin murdered and that assassin’s evidence unrecorded, burnt or discarded, we have here, now, a significant body, the corpse of the world’s most wanted man, ‘buried at sea’. Why do this? Why even think of it, when identifying him forensically was critical to the peace of the Arab and Muslim world? Uday and Qusay weren’t buried at sea, nor the twenty-four-hour burial rule applied to these two cosmeticked enemy stiffs. Saddam was helicoptered home to his tribal city (by Mike Kelly MP and Minister for Cheese) for interment in his clan’s sacred ground. Why treat Osama any differently? Why put his body where it couldn’t be checked over? Why not have an autopsy? Why not give their most famous son back to the rich Bin Laden family, and see them set him down in their family plot? What right do Americans have to a fallen enemy’s corpse? Where did that new rule come from? How dare they? Clearly they feared the sight of his widow, wounded in the fire-fight, at the graveside of him and his dead son, and the sight of his grieving daughter and his other sons would humanise him in an inconvenient way. Clearly they feared his grave would become, like that of Karl Marx or St Thomas a Beckett, a pilgrim shrine for apostles yet unborn. But there were other, forensic reasons too. A coronial enquiry, with witnesses, would show if women were fired upon, or children. It would show if Bin Laden took his own life, as Allende did, it seems, or if his bodyguard, sworn to kill him in such a circumstance, shot him as well, in the back, perhaps. It would show if he had his hands up, and he was therefore killed against the rules of war, or if his wife said, ‘Please, no.’ It would also get from his wife and daughter evidence of who had lodged them in their splendid quarters, who paid the bills, who took the children to the local school, and what Mushareff knew, and what Azari knew, and indeed what Benazir Bhutto knew, of his five-year stay, if that is how long it was, only three minutes’ walk from an army academy, the West Point of Pakistan. How shabby the Americans are. How secretive and stupid. One thinks of the 600 plots to kill Castro: the poisoned face cream, the poisoned wetsuit, the exploding cigars, the former girlfriend who, after sex, couldn’t do it, even when he offered his gun. How low grade they are. How creepy. How overpaid for their shoddy scheming and their bungled midnight raids. And Osama Bin Laden was buried at sea. Full fathom five thy father lies. Of his bones are coral made. Those are pearls that were his eyes. Imagine Hitler, buried at sea. Or Trotsky. How stupid can they be? For there is no end to it now. As with Elvis, his voice, his image will recur on websites for fifty years. Was it him? Did he survive? Is he still alive? He must be. He must be. His widow will charge his American assassins with war crimes for killing and wounding civilians: her son, herself, her daughter. His family will spend millions cleansing his name. The Sunni clergy will denounce the blasphemous travesty of his last rites, not on family ground but the cruel sea. Karzai will demand compensation for the towns destroyed in America’s vain search for him, in the wrong country. The Saudi royals will be shown to have given him money and Bush to have known this while his father took fees from them. A good few Pakistani colonels will be tortured and shot. The Navy Seals that shot him (in the face, not the legs) will get jobs on Fox News. The Taliban will seize Pakistan and its WMD. And his legend, like Che’s, will grow luminous, and more and more twelve-year-old suicide bombers go into supermarkets whispering his name. And all they had to do was keep the body, film its autopsy, open it to media view and give it back, in due season, to his family for a proper Sunni funeral, as they did Saddam and Uday and Qusay, in the green, green grass of home. What klutzes they are. And how dearly we all must pay for their clumsiness, in a rejuvenated al-Qaeda and acts of terror without end, in this country too. And an atomic war, perhaps. And it’s a pity. PS. Osama was unarmed, we now are told, but he ‘resisted’ and so was shot ‘above the left eye’ and ‘part of his brain was blown away’. This, and other details, might explain why Barack Obama spent so long rewriting his speech, his worst thus far on a great specific occasion, and why he seemed uneasy giving it. What, we may ask, is he now to say of a murder committed by uninvited American troops on foreign soil, illegally? And what is he to do with an illegally kidnapped widow, daughter and sons, and their ongoing education in Abbottobad? And, indeed, with the question, why are we in Afghanistan? And with the further, larger question, why, if Osama Bin Laden was for five years in Pakistan, and Pakistan’s rulers knew of it, we are not making war on Pakistan today? In reprisal? As we did on Afghanistan? Why are we in Afghanistan, by the way? Is there any reason left? Bob Ellis is a writer and commentator"

157 lbs. 7, 6 pullups. Shaved my head per wifes instructions (actually I fucked it up and over did it she is now saying:-) and am leaving for Yos tomorrow. I'm thinking 140 range now. When I was pulling hard as a pup, I weight 145. As I have significantly less muscle now (wife is very clear on this one:-), should be in the range of acceptable.

Yup. The distortions, mistakes, errors and flat out lies were running full speed ahead. It really makes one wonder what the truth really is doesn't it? The Pentagon has over 28,000 people who's sole and singular job it is to manipulate thought on our military, and it makes you wonder how effective they are being on US specifically. That doesn't include the CIA manipulations and all the rest of the NSA horseshit. jb and I part company on the idea that our government is overstaffed. He thinks we need more of those folks running around to fulfill the essential role of government. I feel that the overstaffing of these petty fiefdoms and bureaucracies is counter productive to our freedom..

Wow, sweet! I'll get there Kev, might be a bit as I have a Sworee to go to tonight and am in the valley for the next 2 weeks. If you bump it in 3 weeks my feeble brain will remember....and btw, fandango, flamico and spanish guitar is great! No need to resort to generic and geriatric toothless old gummer music just for me:-)

Bone, the date you posted has come and gone, are you still playing? Wuzup?

Are you asking us to fix this for you?

MS, he's Jerry's kid now.
