The CBS News tv broadcast begins at 5:30 PM and suddenly it becomes important enough for me to think more about this
Knew about today's big news story because I had to press the tv mute button when that gas-bag crybaby Donald J. Trump began when I turned on the tv at 4:00 AM today here at my desk.
Just as Donald J. Trump continues to be the greatest exploiter of illegal-immigrant labor in the USA - because he is so incompetent at business that's the only way his business can remain active - for him to promote a Department of War is just plain silly.
He's not in charge of anything. He does what he is told to do
I could understand the change back to Department of War
Cannot understand Pete Hegseth being part of any war. Except his war against Rosie O'Donnell to get an appointment with the hair-stylist that gives them the same streaks in their hair.

Those poor people. All that drama so those 20 individuals would have to wait until today so that gas-bag Donald J. Trump could spew out more of his nonsense on global-television

excerpt, Chapter 11
"Feeling bad, Pete?" Dr. Killgore asked in a different part of the building.
"Must be the flu or something. I feel beat-up all over, and I can't keep anything down." Even the booze, he didn't say, though that was especially disconcerting for the alcoholic. Booze was the one thing he could always keep down.
"Okay, let's give it a look, then." Killgore stood, donning a mask and putting on latex gloves for his examination. "Gotta take a blood sample, okay?"
"Sure, doc."
Killgore did that very carefully indeed, giving him the usual stick inside the elbow, and filling four five-cc test tubes. Next he checked Pete's eyes, mouth, and did the normal prodding, which drew a reaction over the subject's liver
"Ouch! That hurts, doc."
"Oh? Doesn't feel very different from before, Pete. How's it hurt?" he asked, feeling the liver, which, as in most alcoholics, felt like a soft brick. "Like you just stabbed me with a knife, doc. Real sore there."
"Sorry, Pete. How about here?" the physician asked, probing lower with both hands.
"Not as sharp, but it hurts a little. Somethin' I ate, maybe?"
"Could be. I wouldn't worry too much about it," Killgore replied. Okay, this one was symptomatic, a few days earlier than expected, but small irregularities were to be expected. Pete was one of the healthier subjects, but alcoholics were never really what one could call healthy. So, Pete would be Number 2. Bad luck, Pete, Killgore thought. "Let me give you something to take the edge off."
The doctor turned and pulled open a drawer on the wall cabinet. Five milligrams, he thought, filling the plastic syringe to the right line, then turning and sticking the vein on the back of the hand.
"Oooh!" Pete said a few seconds later. "Oooh that feels okay. Lot better, doc. Thanks." The rheumy eyes went wide, then relaxed.
Heroin was a superb analgesic, and best of all, it gave its recipient a dazzling rush in the first few seconds, then reduced him to a comfortable stupor for the next few hours. So, Pete would feel just fine for a while. Killgore helped him stand, then sent him back. Next he took the blood samples off for testing. In thirty minutes, he was sure. The antibody tests still showed positive, and microscopic examination showed what the antibodies were fighting against and losing to.
Only two years earlier, people had tried to infect America with the natural version of this bug, this "shepherd's crook," some called it. It had been somewhat modified in the genetic-engineering lab with the addition of cancer DNA to make this negative-strand RNA virus more robust, but that was really like putting a raincoat on the bug. The best news of all was that the genetic engineering had more than tripled the latency period. Once thought to be four to ten days, now it was almost a month. Maggie really knew her stuff, and she'd even picked the right name for it. Shiva was one nasty little son of a bitch. It had killed Chester-well, the potassium had done that, but Chester had been doomed-and it was now starting to kill Pete. There would be no merciful help for this one. Pete would be allowed to live until the disease took his life. His physical condition was close enough to normal that they'd work to see what good supportive care could do to fight off the effects of the Ebola-Shiva. Probably nothing, but they had to establish that. Nine remaining primary test subjects, and then eleven more on the other side of the building-they would be the real test. They were all healthy, or so the company thought. They'd be testing both the method of primary transmission and the viability of Shiva as a plague agent, plus the utility of the vaccines Steve Berg had isolated the previous week.

excerpt, Chapter 36
But set against that small personal consideration was the Project. The White House job had merely fortified her beliefs. She'd seen it all here, Carol Brightling reminded herself, from the specifications for new nuclear weapons to bio-war reports. The Iranian attempt at a national plague, which had predated her government job, had both frightened and encouraged her. Frightened, because it had been a real threat to the country, and one that could have begun a massive effort to counter a future attack. Encouraged, because she'd learned in short order that a really effective defense was difficult at best, because vaccines had to be tailored for specific bugs. And, when one got down to it, the Iranian plague had merely heightened the public's appreciation of the threat, and that would make distribution of the "A" vaccine the easier to sell to the public and to the government bureaucrats here and around the world who would leap at the offered cure.

excerpt, Chapter 33
Then it was just a matter of weeks until the Shiva had multiplied enough to do its work. Along the way, people would pass on the Shiva through kisses and sexual contact, through coughs and sneezes. This, to had been proven at the Binghamton Lab. Starting in about four weeks, people would think themselves mildly ill. Some would see their personal physicians, and be diagnosed as flu victims, told to take aspirin, drink fluids, and rest in front of the TV. They would do this, and feel better-because seeing a doctor usually did that to people-for a day or so. But they would not be getting better. Sooner or later, they'd develop the internal bleeds that Shiva ultimately caused, and then, about five weeks after the initial release of the nano-capsules, some doctor would run an antibody test and be aghast to learn that something like the famous and feared Ebola fever was back. A good epidemiology program might identify the Sydney Olympics as the focal center, but tens of thousands people would have come and gone. This was a perfect avenue for distributing Shiva, something the Project's senior members had determined years before-even before the attempted plague launched by Iran against America, which had predictably failed because the virus hadn't been the right one, and the method of delivery too haphazard. No, this plan was perfection itself.

excerpt, Chapter 35
"How do you know all this?" Popov asked.
"Well, you see, in case people figure this out, I'm one of the guys who helped set up the perimeter security System here. So, they told me why the Project needs perimeter security. It's pretty serious shit, man. If anyone were to find out about what was done, hell, they might even nuke us, y'know?" Foster pointed out with a grin. "Not many people really understand about saving the planet. I mean, we do this now, or in about twenty years, hell, everything and everybody dies. Not just the people. The animals, too. We can't let that happen, can we?"
"I see your point. Yes, that does make sense," Dmitriy Arkadeyevich agreed, without choking on his words.
Hunnicutt nodded with some satisfaction. "I figured you'd get it, man. So, those terrorist things you got started, well, they were very pretty important. Without getting everybody all hot and bothered about international terrorism, Bill Hendriksen might not have got his people in place to do their little job. So," Hunnicutt said as he fished a cigar out of his pocket, "thanks, Dmitriy. You were really an important part for this here Project."
"Thank you, Foster," Popov responded. Is this possible? he wondered. "How certain are you that this will work?"
"It oughta work. I asked that question, too. They let me in on some of the planning, 'cuz I'm a scientist-I was a pretty good geologist once, trust me. I know a lot of stuff. The disease is a real mother. The real key to that was the genetic engineering done on the original Ebola. Hell, you remember how scary that was a year and a half ago, right?"Popov nodded. "Oh, yes. I was in Russia then, and it was very frightening indeed." Even more frightening had been the response American president, he reminded himself.

by me, Kerry Burgess: Any "God" is mere superstition. You do not have an Imaginary Friend "up there" in the clouds. You do not have an Imaginary Friend that can hear your thoughts as you plead and beg with Him to not hurt you again. Do not believe the lies told to you by any clergy peddling their bunk. "Faith" is meaningless word that is merely their marketing-buzzword because they know you're gullible and naive and you cannot think for yourself and you stopped reading this after the first few words.

Trump orders military plan to ‘wipe Iran off face of the earth’

Donald Trump has demanded “decisive” military options as he threatens to “wipe Iran off the face of the Earth”.
The US president is pushing the Pentagon and White House for attack plans that could collapse the regime.
Officials are also devising more modest options that could include targeting Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps facilities, the Wall Street Journal reported.
Mr Trump has repeatedly used the word “decisive” when describing what effect he would like any US action to have on Iran, according to officials.

In an interview on Tuesday evening, he said that continued threats to his life from Iran would result in the country getting “blown up”.
Mr Trump told NewsNation: “I have very firm instructions… Anything happens, they’re going to wipe [Iran] off the face of this Earth.”
Mr Trump stepped back from launching strikes on the Islamic Republic after urgent phone calls from Gulf allies and advice from his own military that US capabilities in the region were limited.
He has since sent the USS Abraham Lincoln and its carrier strike group to the Persian Gulf and still wants strike options after anti-regime protests left thousands dead in Tehran.

More than 4,519 people have been killed, including hundreds of security forces, and 26,000 arrested in the nationwide protests against the regime, the US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency said on Tuesday, with an additional 9,049 deaths still under investigation.
Mr Trump encouraged protesters and told them, “help is on the way”, while threatening to attack Tehran.
He has also reiterated calls for a change of leadership in the country and the ousting of the supreme leader, telling Politico on Saturday: “It’s time to look for new leadership in Iran.”
Mr Trump again refused to rule out strike action on Iran on Tuesday. “We’re just going to have to see what happens with Iran,” he said, while acknowledging the regime had cancelled plans to hang 837 people last week and taken notice of his warnings.

He previously said he left instructions to destroy Iran should the country assassinate him, signing an executive order just after taking office. He said at the time that the Iranian government had not assassinated him because “if they did that, they would be obliterated”.
The Islamic Republic has accused the US of fomenting unrest in the country and plotting against the government.
Tehran has also said it will retaliate and target the US if it is bombed, especially if Washington targets the country’s leadership.
Overnight, a senior Revolutionary Guards commander threatened that Iran would make the world unsafe for attackers if the United States strikes at the country’s supreme leader.

Abolfazl Shekarchi said Iran would “set their world on fire” and “leave no safe zone for them” if anyone attacked Ali Khamenei.
“If there is any attack on Iran, we will cut off their legs, just as we proved in the 12-day war,” Mr Shekarchi said.
Iranian authorities have filed judicial cases against at least 15 athletes and actors who supported recent protests and are moving to seize assets of celebrities and wealthy individuals accused of backing the demonstrations.
Tehran’s prosecutor’s office said it has opened cases against the public figures as well as 10 signatories of a Cinema House statement and 60 cafes, calling them “direct and indirect supporters or instigators of terrorist incidents”.

Authorities have seized assets from some defendants, and officials said those convicted must pay compensation for damages.
A member of parliament’s Interior Affairs Commission said the government will confiscate property from protest supporters.
“Assets of those who caused unrest should be confiscated to compensate for damages,” said Ghasem Ravanbakhsh, adding that “main culprits, including celebrities and wealthy individuals who had a role in incitement and support” must be held accountable.
Revolutionary Guards forces in Qazvin province said they arrested 166 people described as the main leaders of the unrest. The national police chief vowed continued “decisive action” against protest leaders.

A senior Iranian official said the country’s internet would return to normal by the end of the week, 12 days after authorities imposed a nationwide shutdown amid the protests.
Hossein Afshin, vice president for science and technology, said “the country’s internet network is gradually returning to normal and existing restrictions will be lifted soon”.
However, NetBlocks, which monitors internet access, said Iran’s connectivity to the global internet remained at near-zero levels on the 13th day of what it called a “complete blackout”.
The heads of Iran’s three branches of government pledged to treat protesters who were “deceived” and played no major role in the unrest with leniency while promising “decisive punishment” for what they called “killers and terrorist seditionists”.

Meanwhile, the editor of the reformist daily Ham-Mihan criticised President Masoud Pezeshkian on Tuesday after the newspaper was shut down over its coverage of the protests, saying the closure cost at least 100 people their jobs.
Gholamhossein Karbaschi said the newspaper operated without interruption during the previous government, but “in your government, despite all the claims and slogans you made, it was suspended by your Ministry of Guidance on a flimsy pretext”.
