The Copiapo Obsolete Copper Mine's Nightmare!

CHILE:

In a state where historically, money and power ruled the roost. And the rich and powerful operated with impunity for decades. This Copiapo obsolete mine should never have been allowed to re-open or operate, after a disaster happened in 2008. This mine, like so many others like it, does not comply with Safety Regulations as prescribed by Legislation.

So when the thirty three miners were trapped after a collapse for over two months, it was no surprise to anyone familiar with the history of mines in this country.

The Miners Were Thought Dead:

After the collapse, no one ever thought that these miners could survive, because there was no escape shaft available for them to escape in case of an emergency. Another one of the inherent disregard for the safety of the miners therein. But their families refused to leave the area until they were found, dead or alive. Which brought the attention of the entire world to their plight.

Rescue Operations:

Rescue operations got under way after weeks of planning, and preparation for the execution of the extraction process for these miners. Which commenced on Tuesday 10-12-2010, with a special contraption or capsule like vehicle, to hoist these miners from the depths of the mine to the surface.

I understand that the Chilean government spearheaded this exercise, coupled with the consultation and expertise of N.AS.A., and several private and government agencies on the best solution to this dilemma.

All Is Well That Ends Well:

The last miner (or #33), was finally extracted on Wednesday 10-13-2010, in reasonably good health, and without any visible physical complications or disabilities.

However, these miners are now left without employment, and possibly no immediate prospects.
I believe that they may be approached as a group or individually to tell their stories for book deals, or movie making deals.

The Chilean government also has to ensure that these men are provided for, at least in the short term, with compensation given to each miner from the Mining Company, for the risk they endured to life and limb.

Or a Class Action Law Suit brought against the company for industrial negligence.

Nuclear Weapons In The Hands Of A Child-Literally!

Nuclear Weapons In The Hands Of A Child-Literally!

Kim Jung Un is now the leader in waiting, to assume the leadership after his ailing father Kim Jung IL.

This 24 year old adolescence will be advised by his Auntie, who was also made Caretaker General, Personal Advisor, and Guidance Counselor.

His father had a penchant for threatening the West whenever he felt threatened by them militarily, due to personal paranoia. I don't know if his son has inherited this paranoid view of the West or the world at large.

However, young Un is very OBESE, and like his father, may also suffer from diabetes some time in the future.

Will Kim Jung Un Be Reaching Out To The West?

Until his father dies or relinquishes his position as Chairman of the Communist Party, and Leader of the State. Young Kim Jung Un will have to be subservient to his father's demands, policies, biases, and dictates.

The Real Truth About The US Invasion Of Afghanistan!

The Real Truth About The US Invasion Of Afghanistan!

Before the US started bombing the hills and byways in Afghanistan, trying to destroy the so-called Terrorist camps, identified as Al Qaeda strongholds. The Northern Alliance, which was an assortment of several ethnic groups opposed to the Taliban Rule in the Southern Part of that country, was at war with the Taliban there.

America used the Northern Alliance, commanded by the leader named Ahmed Shah Massoud, by providing them with munitions to fight the Taliban in the South. And at the same time, to identify the hideouts and El Qaeda strongholds to the American undercover agents on the ground therein, so that they can be killed by US Aircraft and Drones.

This was how the Northern Alliance won the war with the Taliban forces in Afghanistan.

After the Taliban was defeated, the Northern Alliance leader was assassinated, leaving a Leaderless void within that alliance. So America now was faced with a dilemma, of whom to support or choose to lead this victorious endeavor. This situation created it's own political dilemma for the Afghans too. Eventually leading to Hamid Karzai's ascension to the throne/presidency in Kabul-Afghanistan.

So Why Is America & N.A.T.O. Still There?

Fighting terror is the excuse being used by N.A.T.O. & America to justify their occupation therein, and the citizenry RESENT this blatantly. Because of our continued presence there, the killing of thousands of civilians, and the raping of Afghan women by US forces there. This resentment has grown to the point of SEVERE hatred for anything that has to do with America, and any foreigner on their soil.

And they will continue to fight against this occupation of their land by any foreigner or foreign forces, regardless of what they try to do, to influence this situation and resolve by the Afghan people.

That is the bottom line of the US and N.A.T.O. presence and war with the Afghan people!
