Covid-19 Commission Modeled on 9/11 Inquiry Draws Bipartisan Backing
A broad, bipartisan group of senators is coalescing around a plan for an independent panel to investigate the origins of the coronavirus and the U.S. response.
By Sheryl Gay Stolberg
Feb. 4, 2022
WASHINGTON — A broad and bipartisan group of senators is coalescing around legislation to create a high-level independent commission, modeled after the one that examined the Sept. 11 attacks, with broad powers to investigate the origins of the coronavirus pandemic and the response across the Trump and Biden administrations.
Under a plan proposed by the top Democrat and Republican on the Senate Health Committee — Senators Patty Murray of Washington and Richard M. Burr of North Carolina — a 12-member panel would have subpoena power to “get a full accounting of what went wrong during this pandemic,” Ms. Murray said in an interview, and make recommendations for the future.
The Murray-Burr bill is carefully drafted to avoid partisan divisions. The panel would be made up of 12 “highly qualified citizens” — preferably, but not necessarily, nonpartisan subject matter experts in relevant fields

(from internet transcript)
A would-be country called Malareve.
Bushmen playing at being a nation, but there's wealth there, and some practical people know what to do with it.
If they can get control, huh?
Exactly.
We hit the capital just as they announce a revolution.
One air attack, bombs, followed by a strafing run.
We own a country.
And then what?
Money.
A large sum of money.
And that's just for openers.
An entire country in a state of chaos.
That is real opportunity, Cannon.
For a strong man.
A man who can hold and guide and use power.
I can take it all.
Right.
With the right men.
You're hired, Cannon.

Werner Hartmann
It's the birthday of Werner Hartmann, who was born in 1912 in Berlin. Hartmann studied physics at the Technical University of Berlin and then embarked on a career in the new field of electronics. Before and during World War II, he worked as a researcher at the German television company Fernseh. At the end of the war, he and his research group were captured by the Red Army and flown to the Soviet Union, where they were put to work on the country's atomic bomb project. Ten years later, he returned to what had become East Germany. There, he led a successful career in academic and industrial electronics -- until 1974, when, under mysterious circumstances, he was victimized by East Germany's secret police, the Stasi. Although Hartmann was never tried, he was humiliatingly demoted. He died in 1988.

Frigate Apparently Strikes Gulf Mine; 10 Sailors Hurt
April 15, 1988 JOHN M. BRODER Times Staff Writer
WASHINGTON — A U.S. warship apparently hit a mine Thursday, injuring 10 American sailors, after it had escorted a U.S.-registered Kuwaiti tanker through the Persian Gulf, Defense Department officials said.
One Pentagon source told the Associated Press that sailors aboard the Roberts had seen "mine-like" objects in the water shortly before the explosion.
U.S. officials in the past have accused the Iranians of sowing mines in the gulf to intimidate shipping headed for Iraq, with whom Iran has been at war for eight years. Last fall, U.S. warships and helicopters seized an Iranian ship in the act of planting mines.
White House spokesman Marlin Fitzwater said the National Security Council had "routinely informed" President Reagan of Thursday's explosion, adding that the incident "emphasizes once again our concern for stopping the Iran-Iraq War."
However, U.S. officials refused to discuss possible retaliation. "It's not a declaration of war," said one Administration official who spoke on condition of anonymity. "Besides, who are you going to retaliate against?"
The explosion took place as the frigate was sailing south on a routine patrol Thursday morning after completing a convoy that included the Kuwaiti tanker Gas King the night before, Howard said.
The frigate was heading toward Bahrain under auxiliary power Thursday night, escorted by the cruiser Wainwright

U.S. blasts 5 Iranian targets
Houston Chronicle News Services
MON 04/18/1988 HOUSTON CHRONICLE
MANAMA, Bahrain - The U.S. Navy today destroyed two offshore Iranian oil platforms, sank a defending Iranian patrol boat and bombed two Iranian frigates. Iran attacked oil facilities off Sharjah and fired on at least two U.S. vessels.
The U.S. attack on the Persian Gulf oil platforms came in retaliation for a mine explosion that tore a hole in a U.S. frigate last week, injuring 10 crewmen.
"We aim to deter further Iranian aggression - not provoke it," President Reagan said. "They must know that we will protect our ships, and if they threaten us, they'll pay a price."
Official estimates of the toll from today's fighting changed through the day, but Reagan stated without elaboration that at least five Iranian vessels of various sizes - but no U.S. ones - had been damaged.
"Following the destruction of the two Iranian military platforms, whose personnel had evacuated after our warning, several Iran naval vessels and small boats attempted to engage our ships and aircraft," Reagan said.
"Three Iranian naval vessels and at least two small boats were sunk or very severely damaged," he added.
Also today, Iran said the United States had entered the Iran-Iraq war, charging U.S. helicopters supported an Iraqi land offensive in the Faw Peninsula. The Pentagon dismissed the charge, saying no U.S. military forces have been involved with Iraqi units.
The White House said three U.S. warships ships blasted each Iranian platform. No U.S. casualties were reported in the attacks, and the Iranians fled prior to the shelling, the White House said.
Iran said a number of oil workers aboard the two platforms were killed or injured. It gave no details.
Defense Secretary Frank C. Carlucci said a U.S. helicopter also was fired upon during the raid but was not hit.
One U.S. warship fired missiles at two approaching Iranian jet fighters, but the fighters reversed course; it was unclear whether they were hit, Carlucci said.
He said an Iranian patrol boat fired on the U.S. cruiser Wainwright, which took part in the attack on one of the platforms. The Wainwright was not hit.

This would be really funny if not for a couple things.
One, I looked closer at it and I found something new and ominous I hadn't seen until today.
Two, the Jesus Christ bible-thumpers that infest this planet Earth can really do some damage because of their ridiculous fairy-tale.
Jesus Christ bible-thumpers are cowardly terrified of mortality.
So anything comes along and nudges them towards that direction and scares the shit out of them even more and those ridiculous morons will be chumped into doing anything their Jesus Christ scam-artist leaders tell them.
What makes it worse is their cowardice.
They're too cowardly - in the first place - but there is also the fact they are too cowardly to act alone. So what ever mayhem they cause will be destruction caused by their moronic masses.
