I occasionally found out that, zooming with Google maps in Zurich, the view suddenly switches from a bird eye’s view to a 45° view. So it looks like “Google map’s 45 degree” option has been enabled just a few days ago for another 26 cities.
This new feature (or bug?) might raise new privacy related questions…

The latest killings in Yemen are inconcilable to international law. – The same goes for Guantanamo prison, the War on Iraq, the unlawful rendition of prisoners, the killing of Sheikh Osama, the exploitation of underdeveloped races by the pharma & oil industry… etc.

The international community, namingly the international court, should finally take legal action against the U.S.!

The government of neoimperialism who tells the world their lies about “terrorism”, preaching democracy, spreading a culture of fear, terror, oppression, exploitation and hunger worldwide, supported and financed by Zionists. – It’s not about conspiracy, it’s about facts!

Here’s the latest story which lines up well with the self-deceptive stories of the past like the “war on terror”, “Al Quaida”, 9/11:
Obama Order Sped Up Wave of Cyberattacks Against Iran
Yes, Stuxnet!

Mr. Obama decided to accelerate the attacks — begun in the Bush administration and code-named Olympic Games — even after an element of the program accidentally became public in the summer of 2010 because of a programming error that allowed it to escape Iran’s Natanz plant and sent it around the world on the Internet. Computer security experts who began studying the worm, which had been developed by the United States and Israel, gave it a name: Stuxnet.

So what does this tell us? – It confirms that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is substantially correct with his speech at the United Nations General Assembly after all!

20120526 0938 UTC: Tonight there was an ELT signal on 121.500 Mhz around 3.7nm on final approach to rwy 34. – Maybe a glider in LSZK, which hit the runway hardly? Or a test ELT?

This is how an ELT sounds like:
