The Amazing Rocket and America's New Supergun



It's amazing what we humans can do when we push the boundaries of science.

Like fire off this SpaceX rocket from Cape Canaveral in Florida, deploy a satellite.

Then land the first stage on a so-called drone ship in the North Atlantic.



And this is what a new and speeded up video of that landing looks like from the rocket itself.

Stephen Harper and the Big Business of War



In the fog of war there are some things about Stephen Harper's plan to use airstrikes to defeat the ISIS crazies that are already abundantly clear.

One, they make him look as if he's taking decisive action, even though so far they are proving notoriously ineffective. 

Two, they are REALLY expensive. 

In a crazy sort of way.

And three, so far the only clear winner is the U.S. military industrial complex, and Harper's really good friends at Lockheed Martin.

Dancing with the Missiles in India

I see the giant Israeli arms maker Rafael has come up with an original way to sell weapons to the Indians.

By encouraging them to kick up their heels.

And dance with the missiles...



Wow. Dinga Dinga Dee.

Although I don't know why the Israeli military industrial complex....the fourth largest in the world.... had to stage a musical show.

After showing off its shiny new weapons in Gaza.

Hmmmm....You know I LOVE Indian music and dancing.

But when it comes to videos....

I STILL prefer this one.
