JT: In 2015, Russia launches a nuclear strike against the major cities in the United States (which is the "other side" of the civil war from my perspective), China and Europe.

Q: I think Russia is still very likely to attack the United States with nuclear weapons. It's hard to imagine being here to see it.
JT: You are also correct but I want to add a twist to your thinking. Russia's enemy in the United States is not you, the average person. Russia's enemy is the United States government.

Russian NATO envoy Rogozin says poor relations between Russia and the alliance over Georgia remind him of tensions in Europe on the eve of World War I. He also compares Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili with Serbian nationalist Gavrilo Princip, who assassinated Austrian Archduke Ferdinand and thus triggered World War I. Rogozin made the statement Tuesday in at least two different forums - in an interview with Russia's RBK business daily and at his Interfax news conference, where he said the stakes today are much greater than merely Russian cooperation with the West.

Pavel Felgenhauer says the implication of Rogozin's statement is the prospect of World War III and a possible nuclear exchange.

FAREWELL TO WORLD PEACE?
The Georgian conflict ended 1,716 days of no war between nations. But trends favor peace...With the news so full of violence, you may not have noticed that the world was at peace. But ever since India and Pakistan signed a cease-fire in November 2003, there have been no wars between governments. That's 1,716 straight days of world peace. Russia's invasion ended the streak on Aug. 8.

Let's talk about World War III - It is time to seriously contemplate World War III. The most important elements are already in place. Just as so many experts on the Caucasus have predicted, the region has become a power keg and the main source of great-power rivalry.

THE BIRTH OF TIME TRAVEL ON THE HORIZON

Wormholes expected in Switzerland when Large Hadron Collider goes live

Mathematicians Irina Aref'eva and Igor Volovich said that when the LHC begins to smash atoms into each other the conditions will be perfect to open a wormhole into the distant future.

"Proton-proton collisions at the LHC could lead to the formation of time machines (space-time regions with closed time-like curves) which violate causality," said the scientists in a research paper. "One model for the time machine is a traversable wormhole. We argue that the traversable wormhole production cross section at the LHC is of the same order as the cross section for black hole production."

The other possibility, according to the mathematicians, is that miniature black holes will be formed under the French and Swiss countryside.

Final LHC Synchronization Test a Success
Geneva, 25 August 2008. CERN has today announced the success of the second and final test of the Large Hadron Collider’s beam synchronization systems which will allow the LHC operations team to inject the first beam into the LHC.

The first attempt to circulate a beam in the LHC will be made on 10 September at the injection energy of 450 GeV (0.45 TeV). This historical event will be webcast HERE.

PHONY OLYMPICS TELEVISED - REAL SINGER DEEMED NOT CUTE ENOUGH FOR CHINA

Will the Opening Ceremony Fakery Never End? Adorable Moppet Was Lip-Syncing -- 7-year-old Yang Peiyi, who won a nationwide singing competition, was replaced at the last minute when a Chinese official, watching rehearsal, declared that Yang's buckteeth made her unsuitable to appear on television. Now Lin Miaoke is China's newest star, appearing on television all over the place.

VIDEO - Olympics Fakery

Beijing Olympics: Faking scandal over girl who 'sang' in opening ceremony -- At the last moment a member of the Chinese politburo who was watching a rehearsal pronounced that the winner, a girl called Yang Peiyi, might have a perfect voice but was unsuited to the lead role because of her buck teeth. "Especially at the entrance of our national flag, this is an extremely important, an extremely serious matter.

First the fireworks, now the fake singing. All our Olympic dreams are shattered - Please tell me that Michael Phelps' three gold medals were not fake. Because it turns out that the Opening Ceremonies may have been a hall of mirrors.

Olympic child singing star revealed as fake --The little girl who starred at the Olympic opening ceremony was miming and only put on stage because the real singer was not considered attractive enough, the show's musical director has revealed. Pigtailed Lin Miaoke was selected to appear because of her cute appearance and did not sing a note...But Chen said the girl whose voice was actually heard...during the spectacular ceremony was in fact seven-year-old Yang Peiyi, who has a chubby face and uneven teeth. "The reason why little Yang was not chosen to appear was because we wanted to project the right image, we were thinking about what was best for the nation," Chen said.

"I do not think the Chinese state realises how unethical this is, they don't understand what kind of values they are reflecting."

SPECTACULAR BEIJING OLYMPIC CEREMONY GIANT FIREWORK FOOTPRINTS "FAKED"

Gao Xiaolong, head of the visual effects team for the ceremony, said it had taken almost a year to create the 55-second sequence. Meticulous efforts were made to ensure the sequence was as unnoticeable as possible. "...most of the audience thought it was filmed live - so that was mission accomplished."

A spokeswoman for BOCOG said the final decision had been made by Beijing Olympic Broadcasting, the joint venture between the International Olympic Committee and local organisers that is responsible for providing the main "feeds" of all Olympic events to viewers around the world.

OBAMA LINKING HIMSELF TO LINCOLN AGAIN

Q: Your enemy was in the cities. Was the President in 2005 also on the enemy side? How did you feel personally about the President then?

JT: The President or "leader" in 2005 I believe tried desperately to be the next Lincoln and hold the country together but many of their policies drove a larger wedge into the Bill of Rights. The President in 2009 was interested only in keeping his/her power base.

STORY - Allen, the stage supervisor for Spears and several other rock stars, tells The Post he designed the set more to evoke images of the White House and the Lincoln Memorial, not the Acropolis.

STORY - Many say that the ostentatious columned backdrop supposed to represent the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., invoking the image of Lincoln and associating it with Obama.

CHINA'S FAKE "FANS" TRAINED FOR GAMES

China admits using 'cheer squads' at Olympics

China has drafted in specially trained 'spectators' to inject some atmosphere into the half-empty stadiums and echoing plazas of the Beijing Olympics.

After denying there was any problem with attendances for several days (even claiming the events were "sold out") the Beijing Organising committee have confessed their worries at the poor turn out. "We are concerned about the fact we do not have full stadia," said Wang Wei.

To fill the gaps the Chinese have been using huge numbers of yellow-shirted 'fans' who occupy blocks of empty seats, clapping and cheering equally for opposing teams. Armed with inflatable cheering batons, the neutral 'fans' who attended several days of pre-Olympic cheerleader training to prepare for the role, clap and chant wildly in unison.

THE LATEST CANCELLED OR POSTPONED EVENTS:

Events postponed for rain at Beijing Olympics -- included tennis, archery and rowing.

Aussie athletes battle Beijing's weather -- The women's road cycling race turned treacherous in the wet weather, the exposed rain gutters lining the course near the Great Wall took their toll.

The smog hanging over Beijing is getting so bad that the International Olympic Committee may have to consider postponing or shifting events.

The rain was so bad, organizers had to cancel the men's eights rowing competition,

-Equestrian events may be affected by bad weather

-Heat too much for gasping cyclists -- 53 riders call it quits. "It feels like you have hot cream all over your body."

-O'Grady, who pulled out of the race blaming a headache with 45km left to race -- "It was like silent murder,'' he said.

-If the event is cancelled because the atheletes state that they do not want to compete because of the polution, this will suffice for a 'Yes' settlement, regardless of what the IOC or Chinese Government reports.

-Bleak weather forecast for Games opening -- smog, typhoon, extreme heat

OLYMPICS COVER-UP

Chinese hush up serious injury to acrobat -- A Chinese acrobat has been seriously injured after she fell during a rehearsal for Friday’s opening ceremony...lay in agony for more than 50 minutes before she was attended by paramedics...blamed by a performer on a combination of poor stage management and a failure to implement international-level safety standards...no sensation in her lower limbs after the fall and was in danger of being unable to stand for the rest of her life as a result of the injuries.

INTERNATIONAL OLYMPIC COMMITTEE APOLOGIZES: WE HAVE "MISLED" THE PRESS

07/30/2008 - Beijing admits that even journalists will be subject to restrictions on the internet. The head of the IOC apologizes over broken promises, and concludes that what China says must be done. Meanwhile, the Japanese team is considering whether to come wearing dust masks.

Beijing (AsiaNews/Agencies) - Official apologies has been extended to journalists by Kevin Gosper, head of the press office for the International Olympic Committee, because of Chinese censorship of their websites set up for the Olympics.

The Olympic organizing committee (Bocog) has admitted that websites have been blocked that mention the spiritual group Falun Gong, banned in China as an "evil cult". For days, journalists have been complaining that their websites are being censored, but the Bocog defended itself by citing unspecified "technical reasons". Among the sites blocked are those that mention Tibet, Chinese dissidents, and human rights groups like Amnesty International and Reporters without Borders.

Now Gosper, in an interview with the South China Morning Post, has apologized to the press for "misleading" them for seven years, guaranteeing that "there will be full, open and free internet access during Games time to allow journalists to report on the Olympics". He admits that he knew that "some of the IOC officials had negotiated with the Chinese that some sensitive sites would be blocked". And he concludes that, in any case, "I can't tell the Chinese what to do", "you are dealing with a communist country that has censorship. You are getting what they say you can have".

The Mystery of the Olympic Torch Die-outs

In the recent Olympic Games history, from 1976 to 2004, the Olympic torch has died-out a total of six times, despite facing various weather conditions and obstacles. However, duringthis year's relay the torch has died-out so frequently that nobody can accurately recall the exact number of occasions.

THE PRESS UNDER ATTACK AT OLYMPICS

Police attack on press raises fears over Beijing coverage -- Video from Hong Kong -television stations showed Beijing police officers throwing one journalist to the ground and restraining him by the neck.

Networks Fight Shorter Olympic Leash - “Had the I.O.C., and those vested with the decision to award the host city contract, known seven years ago ... then I seriously doubt whether Beijing would have been awarded the Olympics,” the commissioner said. NBC Universal has taken out an insurance policy to protect itself against the disruption or cancellation of the Games. But NBC officials are not eager to discuss the peculiarities of broadcasting from China. Mr. Ebersol would not respond to a request for an interview, the network said.

CONCERN OVER TYPHOON, BIRD FLU, AND BIOCHEMICAL ATTACKS PLAGUE EQUESTRIAN EVENTS

Chinese investigate bird deaths at equestrian venue -- Two dead birds were discovered at the Olympic equestrian venue in Hong Kong, Associated Press reports, and Chinese authorities are testing whether they were infected with the bird flu virus.

Beijing Olympics: China designates special 'protest zones'

Would-be protestors must apply at least five days before the planned protest and fill out an application that specifies the purpose and time of the protest, what will happen during it, the slogans that will be written on banners and posters, the estimated number of protestors and whether megaphones or any form of amplified sound equipment will be used. Protests that threaten the territorial unity of China are illegal, so that means no rallies by people advocating greater autonomy or independence for Tibet.

BEIJING OLYMPICS TO BE CANCELLED?

Scrambling to recover from a devastating earthquake, China finds its Beijing Olympics plagued by political boycotts, an increasingly deadly disease, poor air quality, and possible terrorist threats. Is John Titor's prediction coming to pass?

CALL TO CANCEL OLYMPICS OVER QUAKE

Posted Thu May 15, 2008 3:00pm AEST Updated Thu May 15, 2008 4:10pm AEST
A Chinese association based in Washington wants the Olympic Games cancelled, inthe wake of Monday's earthquake in China's Sichuan province. The death toll now stands at almost 15,000 people, affecting seven Chinese provinces. But many believe the toll is as high as 40,000 missing or dead. President of the Overseas Chinese Democracy Coalition, Wei Jingsheng, wants the international community to support his call for cancellation of the Games, or, at the very least, the opening ceremony. He says the world should not be celebrating, while thousands of people are dead, dying or homeless.

Earlier this year, Hollywood filmmaker Steven Spielberg dropped out of his role as advisor to the opening and closing ceremonies over China's link to the government of Sudan, blamed for genocide in its western province of Darfur.

Then came the jailing of civil rights defender Hu Jia, which was denounced by critics of the communist party leadership as evidence of a crackdown on free speech ahead of the Games.

Another black mark for China came when marathon world record holder Haile Gebrselassie said he was not prepared to "commit suicide" by taking part in the event in Beijing's polluted air.

China has assured the 10,500 athletes coming to the Games that air quality will be acceptable and has drawn up a series of measures to honor its promise, including shutting factories and curbing traffic.

But the government has been unable to meet its pledge to offer unfettered access to the country to reporters covering the Games. Tibet and areas surrounding the Himalayan region still remain off limits to journalists.
