What I Learned on the Net Today

Not necessarily in any order of importance or time seen. and no links.
1-huge oil spill in the Nigeria Delta, by Shell. This is the second one this year, last one was in Aug. and THAT was probably going to take decades to get over.(BBC News)

2- china won Afghanistan's ok to look for oil.(I thought that was OUR oil!?), which will also mean the will be getting what was supposed to be Halliburton's contracts to be re-building all the shit we blew up. Dick Cheney got screwed, I guess...not as smart as he thought there, maybe?
(BBC News)

2.5 - also the, I mean OUR government in Afghanistan is negotiating with the Taliban. So there's reason 3 (whoops 4(WMDs)) for our invasion of them("get rid of jihadist/anti-women extremism). So much for our mission in the middle east. Fail, Fail, Fail AND Fail. Thousands dead, countries and lives in ruins(ours and theirs), and Dick Cheney didn't even get his oil or building contracts.

3 - Anonymous (no relation) hacked a security firm (again)and using "found" credit cards, passwords etc. of military and law enforcement people, donated $1000s to charities like the red cross, save the children, etc.for Christmas. It's a huge mess and embarrassment for a "security firm" to be so hacked, and they don't know what to do...unfortunately for them, Anonymous promises to do more, for Christmas.(Guardian UK & Daily Mail-London)

4- Ron Paul didn't used to like gay people. (Everywhere)

5 OWS says thanks(YouTube & FB)

6 Anonymous says 12-21-12 IS the DAY. But not sure for what-maybe massive info dumps from everyone who is now just a worker, but knows
terrible stuff that EVERYONE should know-they advise taking a USB datadrive thing to work for the next year and downloading info. (Youtube)(not the best source...so who knows.)

7- Newt Gigrich thinks his staff's lack of planing in their epic fail to get (he necessary 10,000 signatures turned into Virginia election people on time(because who knew they had a deadline for something like that?!) is because the US gov. Is exactly like the Japanese bombing Pearl Harbor.(Wonkette)(he is a nutjob)But he's not the ONLY one being discriminated against by the liberal government, only Ron Paul and Mittens got their shit turned in on time. (And all those other wingnutaroos think they can run a fucking country!?!) It's like they are running for class pres. In jr. Friggin high. "And I promise to have better lunches and pop machines. So you should vote for me."

8 - the people on wonkette went to war with each other over Ralph Nadar and whether or not the Iraq war was his fault. I've never seen anything like it. Absolutely rabid!)(Wonkette)

That's all I can remember right now.
