  Did anyone hear about a big “Spice” bust on Camp Casey involving somewhere near 30 soldiers, with troops jumping out second story windows etc?

  The spice trade goes all the way to the top in USFK.

  General Corrino oversees the whole thing and is an expert at playing leadership off against one another.

  This probably happened because Colonel Atreides has recently become the biggest supplier in USFK which is a real threat to both General Corrino and Colonel Harkonnen.

  Don’t let these fake crackdowns fool you.

  THE SPICE MUST FLOW!

  7. In the mail. That (and piss tests) is how they get busted. The APO has a list of return addresses for the big suppliers.

  In the Bible it says: “What goes around, comes around.” He shot me and three weeks later he got shot down. Now, it’s clear that I am here for a real reason, because he got hit like I got hit, but he ain’t breathing.

  “In addition, The Korea Times will continue to become the soul of Koreans so that it best reflects the sentiment and pride of Korean citizens. The paper rejects communism, anti-capitalism, irrational nationalism, xenophobia, religious bias and racism.”

  The Korea Times quote/link I provided in # 11 is discriminatory here… “The Korea Times will continue to become the soul of Koreans so that it best reflects the sentiment and pride of Korean citizens.”

  Why should the Korea Times only become the soul of “Koreans” and “best reflect the sentiment and pride of Korean citizens?”

  It’s clear that the Korea Times has been and by today’s article will continue to be xenophobic, nationalistic, and racist.

  Also…

  “Korea’s legal system, even after recent changes, makes it clear that only foreigners who have attained Korean nationality through marriage or other processes will have their basic rights fully protected. So it’s hard to say that the country has made meaningful progress from the principles written in the Constitution, which mentions only ‘citizens’ as owners of basic rights.”

  #14 – question is – will it stick, or will they find some silly way to reduce it on some kind-of appeal? That case was a slam-dunk and dude needs to do the max. The case over in Mapo is a different issue, though…

  I predict they will appeal, and the appeals court will reduce the sentencing after the press and public have lost their interest, and the US military, US expat activists, and US government starts their usual pressuring on the ROK puppet government court. I predict they’ll cut the sentencing in half to 5 years, then make it 2 years in prison and 3 years probation. Or something like that.

  17. I’m sure Tom’s noble, selfless Chinese and perhaps even the Koreans themselves will step in and take up the slack.

  At the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, they simulated taking a B-83 strategic warhead all the way from storage to detonation.

  “The computer simulations showed that at a certain point from stockpile to target, the weapon would “fail catastrophically,” according to Bruce T. Goodwin, principal associate director at Livermore for weapons programs. Such a failure would mean that the weapon would not produce the explosive yield expected by the military — either none at all, or something quite different than required to properly hit the target.”

  Simulations have given deeper understanding than is possible from test explosions. Next year, Livermore will start running the IBM Sequoia, capable of twenty petaflops.

  Interesting stuff from David E Hoffman at WashingtonPost.
