A couple of relevant items pertaining to recent doings of the Comrades of Beijing.
Lawmaker says Chinese hacked Capitol computers
A Virginia congressman says the FBI has found that four of his government computers have been hacked by sources working out of China. In remarks prepared for delivery Wednesday afternoon, Rep. Frank Wolf says he has been told by the FBI that four computers in his personal office were compromised.
The Virginia Republican says that similar incidents – also originating from China – have taken place on computers of other members of Congress and at least one House committee.
Why would they be so uncollegial as to do this?
A spokesman for Wolf says the four computers were being used by staff members working on human rights issues. Wolf is a longtime critic of the Chinese government’s human rights record.
Dang! That pesky old “human rights” again. Unlike the ACLU’s version of human rights issues, like being offended by someone peacefully praying, for example, ChiCom human rights problems often involve the injection of a 9 mm bullet to the back of the head…with the cost of said bullet being billed to the victim’s family.
…meanwhile, on a different note highlighting something that’s more of a problem with Washington than Beijing:
China’s Drilling for Oil in America’s Backyard
House Republicans want the American people to know that right now — around 60 miles off the coast of Key West, Fla. — China is drilling for oil, thanks to a lease issued by Cuba.
But 1,200 miles north of Key West, Democrats in Washington are blocking the United States from conducting its own environmentally-safe oil and gas exploration in similar U.S. coastal areas, said a news release from House Republican leader John Boehner’s office.
Democrat Congresscritters, wooden rail, hot tar, feathers. Some assembly required.
Where’s that Democratic Energy Plan for Energy Independence they keep talking about?
No drilling for known US oil reserves (ANWR, offshore FL, CA, etc)
No new nuclear plants – we’ll all glow in the dark and die
No new refineries – pollution, water contamination, etc
No new coal plants or expansion – “dirty power”
No wind turbines off coast (MA, CA) – ruins the view
No to expansion of bio-fuels – starves the poor
They talk about “electric powered” vehicles but don’t explain (or understand how electricity is generated – coal, nuclear, wind, etc)
No technologies exist to replace oil based transportatin and experts agree we’re years away from producing any.
Pixie Dust? Yeah, THAT’S the ANSWER!!
“We are the change we’ve been waiting for, nothing is impossible, physics can’t stand in our way!!”
Kind of reminds me of the time the time the Yippies surrounded the Pentagon and chanted to make it levitate. That worked well…
