Israel: An Axis of Evil

Remove “Israel” and “Jew­ish” from the text and say Coun­try A and no one would dis­pute that Coun­try A is an evil coun­try, unde­mo­c­ra­tic, oppres­sive, out­law, and an enemy of the U.S.:

  • Com­mits piracy on the high seas, killing pas­sen­gers, includ­ing an Amer­i­can cit­i­zen, and hijack­ing ships to its port; note as well that these lat­est deadly attacks are against a treaty-​protected NATO part­ner and ally
  • Engages in an expan­sion­ist pol­icy steal­ing and occu­py­ing lands out­side its borders
  • Impris­ons com­mu­ni­ties and regions with mil­i­tary blockaids
  • Mil­i­tar­ily attacks civil­ian pop­u­la­tions at the slight­est provocation
  • Meets feable protests with deadly response
  • Ignores inter­na­tional calls to honor bor­ders, respect human rights, and fol­low com­monly accepted or agreed upon civ­i­lized behavior
  • Main­tains an apartheid régime that treats a sig­nif­i­cant por­tion of its cit­i­zens as sec­ond class cit­i­zens and pris­on­ers within their own country
  • Is respon­si­ble for killing and injur­ing more Amer­i­cans than have those who are the vic­tim of its mil­i­tary occupation

Any coun­try guilty of the above would be rightly be clas­si­fied as an enemy of the United States. The coun­try would be ostri­cized for its war crimes and human rights vio­la­tions. Mak­ing excuses oth­er­wise would be unheard of.

Are They Kidding?! Heavy Snow?

Forget National Weather Service the media exag­ger­at­ing the weather, now the National Weather Ser­vice is out fore­cast­ing “Heavy Snow” when accu­mu­la­tion is “less than one inch” and “1 to 2 inches”. Incredible.

I won­der if the gov­ern­ment mind­set that equates 1 – 2 inches of snow as “Heavy Snow” is the same as that which sees global warm­ing in every frac­tion of weather change?

Malone Weather

I am still recon­fig­ur­ing my weather sta­tion and the upload of data to Mal​one​To​day​.com. You can access infor­ma­tion col­lected by my weather sta­tion at:

Update:

I switched to Ambi­ent Weather’s Vir­tual Weather Sta­tion soft­ware after being unable to resolve con­tin­ued chal­lenges with incor­rect baro­met­ric pres­sure, humid­ity, and dew point read­ings, espe­cially at low tem­per­a­tures. The change was long over­due. It appears that all of my weather sta­tion read­ings are now being han­dled cor­rectly and within APRS data QA norms.
