Iceland is nothing but a pimple on a turd.I once emailed the editor
at
the Reykjavik online news rag about four years ago and I asked that
pimple on a turd editor if they are ever going to have an english
language version link to their stinking kotex rag of an online
newspaper.He told me to check back later.I never did,check back
later.**** em!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There is a story about how Iceland and
Greenland got their names.Greenland got it's name in order to fool
people into believing Greenland is nice and green and warm.I bet Les
the
Loser didn't know that!

Iceland doesn't do too badly online for a nation of only 280,000
people. I was able to find English news about them quite easily.


Oh, and Greenland, when it was first landed by vikings, did have
plenty of green, arable farmland, on which they settled and grew crops
etc. So the name was based on fact. Unfortunately, colder climate
change eventually put an end to the farming.
Funnily enough, climate change there is again making things
different. The locals have recently been growing more potatoes due to
higher temperatures. I think I heard that one somewhere on shortwave.

Now really, if you want to read the Morgunbla=F0i=F0 on the internet,
then you should go and learn Icelandic!
Do you think you can get Icelandic versions of the New York times or
the Washington post on the internet?

Yep, the latest antiterror rule from the Bushies will force all airlines
to give passenger lists to Washington for all flights just PASSING OVER
US airspace. That's right, if the flight is NOT going to or from a US
airport, but is merely passing over US airspace, the airline must give a
passenger list to the US govt and it will be checked against the no fly
list. This means that if a flight is going from Vancouver to Montreal,
IOW a Canadian DOMESTIC flight, and the flight passes over US airspace
(something that happens fairly often with Canadian domestic flights),
the Canadian airline will have to check with Homeland Security first to
see that no forbidden passengers are on it.

This wacko rule was apparently prompted by a KLM flight from Amsterdam
to Mexico City that had two Saudis on it that were on the no fly list,
and the US govt found out about it and ordered the plane to return to
Amsterdam or be shot down once it entered US airspace. Halfway through
the flight the pilot had to turn around and go back. The airlines have
two options: reroute flights around the US (impossible) or bow down to
Bush and the idiots at Homeland Security (also impossible, since it
would cost too much to clear every single flight passing over US
airspace with DHS).

The BBC interviewed some guy from AeroMexico (the Mexican national
airline) who was NOT happy. He noted that the airline cannot afford to
route flights around the US, but it would also be a severe strain on the
airline to clear flights with DHS. He noted that this new rule violates
international aviation law, but that the airline has no choice but to
try to comply.

Folks, when the US (Bush) can force something like this on foreign
governments, it has too much power, and is misusing it. I wonder why
this latest antiterror rule was NOT reported by US domestic media, maybe
because this is a bridge too far? Yet another example of the power of
shortwave.

NOT reported? You really need to learn how to pay attention.

Finally some solid common sense security measures are being taken.
Be thankful Canadian flights are even allowed over US air space.
