So.

It turns out I have lung cancer that will require the removal of the left lower lobe of my lung.

Cirrhosis of the liver. (No, I don't drink, never have.)

An internal bleed that even after extensive GI testing among another things, drops my hemoglobin between 4 and 7, 12.5 being the norm. I was hospitalized twice for this within 15 months and over both stays rec'd 7 units of blood.

Diabetes/Type 2. Managed by oral meds and diet for now. High Blood Pressure.

Atrial Fibrillation/Heart Disease.

*"It's all part of life's rich pageant(ry), you know?"
I've heard this saying all my life and when I do I fall out. lolol

Iraq jailbreaks: Hundreds escape in Taji and Abu Ghraib

Hundreds of inmates have escaped from two Iraqi prisons after gunmen stormed two jails near Baghdad.

Fighting raged for several hours after the jails - Abu Ghraib to the west of the capital and Taji to the north - came under attack.

Mortar fire and suicide bombs were used to gain access to the jails, whose inmates include al-Qaeda prisoners.

At least 20 members of the security forces were killed as they struggled to regain control.

I haven't seen a thing about this except for a blurb in a diary, (blurbist/commenter) forgive me for not remembering your name. :(

Louisiana activates 4000 National Guardsmen, securing sinkhole equipment
The governor of Louisiana, home of an expanding, gas-bubbling sinkhole the size of three football fields with radiation levels three times the state's acceptable limit, has activated 4,000 members of the Louisiana National Guard to assist with Tropical Storm Isaac heading toward it, as officials and Texas Brine Co. work to secure the massive hole's exploratory rig and other equipment.

When people ask, "Where are they going to put all those arrested on the Brooklyn Bridge today?" I shudder to think of the possibilities. The imagination of evil knows no bounds.

It's now become common knowledge that Joseph Bologna a/k/a "Sergeant Pepper" was busily making "arrests" at the Republican National Convention in 2004 in NYC. That's what got me started on the quest for more information about "Pier 57/"Guantanamo-on-the-Hudson".

Below is an accounting from Charles Shaw who was arrested at the RNC and housed there.

Kettling: Another "Special Relationship" Between the US and UK
by Charles Shaw
Since London and New York share so much affinity, it will probably come as no surprise to Britons that "kettling"- the practice by police of cordoning off city blocks at both ends and containing protesters for hours before arresting them for all intents and purposes, had its US debut five years ago during the 2004 Republican National Convention. It was there that I and over 1000 other people were mass-arrested and interned in a makeshift prison camp set up on Pier 57, a filthy and hazardous decommissioned bus depot on the West Side Highway that came to be known as"Guantanamo on the Hudson."

I'm not much of a diarist but when I find things of interest to a breaking news story, I enjoy sharing the information.

The MSM in the United States is not covering this story with the urgency it deserves. This situation is not unlike so many others we've watched unfold across the globe. It seems the "Have Nots" are in full blown rebellion against the "Haves".

These video images are shocking. I was unable to embed them from the BBC site.

Thanks to jayden:

This video is set to "auto-play"

which can be problematic for some Kossacks, especially those reading from work. You may want to add a note in the diary about it so readers have an opportunity to turn down the volume before it begins playing.

Amateur footage sent to the BBC appears to show a gang of youths charging at police in Woolwich during rioting in south London on Monday night.

The video was shot by Mike Jelves and shows the scene on Thomas Street at around 22:00 BST.

A large number of missiles are hurled towards officers who are forced to retreat back down the road they are attempting to block.

There were scenes of looting and arson in several other areas of the capital on what was a third night of unrest. Violence also flared some other English cities, including Liverpool and Birmingham.
