I am looking for b real. I have been checking b real’s dormant “Africa Comments” site for some time, hoping he would resume commenting on the situation in the Horn of Africa. Today it appears to have been hacked – a lot of East Asian characters and script, no idea what it is.
b real…hope all is well and would love to hear from you and get some insights into the Somalia situation.

Wow, b real – congratulations on your new addition. He’s obviously a bigger priority right now!

@maxcrat – my domain expired mid-july and a japanese company picked it up two days ago – i completely missed that, thinking i had paid up for 2 yrs rather than only one – not sure what my options are at this point (godaddy/google) and too sleep-deprived at the moment to start thinking about/acting on it…would really suck if all that content is not recoverable outside the wayback archives or something

6.08…Sarah Palin asks: ‘why wasnt Asange pursued with the same force as alqaeda and taliban leaders’…..well the US is not pursing alqaeda any longer…its using them..in its war on libya and now its war on syria
remarkably and revealingly at 6.50./we learn ‘Interpol issued a red notice to 188 counties for Julian Assange…….’..why has interpol not issued red notices over war criminals Bush Blair and now Obama? Interpol here looks like an agency of the US regime…this makes US a police state that has powers beyond its borders

also only in US can vice and presidential candidates demand publically someone be assassinated and not have their candidacy withdrawn and themselves arrested
