POPSIdeological paradigms for Odinga's and Obama's "Change" campaign in history In any "decent" tyrant's biography, there is a "practice" run...for Herr Hitler it was Guernica...for Obama it was Kenya through his counterpart Odinga in a number of ways.Tyranny(socialism,communism) is forever tweaking itself on the insane notion that "We'll do better next time if it's only done 'right' "...such is the insanity of rebellion against God

POPSIs Time disappearing from the universe? At an everyday level, the change would not be perceptible. However, it would be obvious from cosmic scale measurements tracking the course of the universe over billions of years. The change would be infinitesimally slow from a human perspective, but in terms of the vast perspective of cosmology, the study of ancient light from suns that shone billions of years ago, it could easily be measured Difficult to fathom.

POPSOn this day in 1987, an ICON was murdered by CIA
The hunt for Guevara in Bolivia was headed by Félix Rodríguez, a CIA agent. He was captured while leading a detachment with Simeón Cuba Sarabia in the Quebrada del Yuro ravine. He shouted "Do not shoot! I am Che Guevara and worth more to you alive than dead." Early the next afternoon he was executed. To make the bullet wounds appear consistent with the official story sold to the public, Felix Rodriguez, the CIA asset, ordered the soldier who pulled the trigger to aim carefully to make it appear that Che had been killed in action during a clash with the Bolivian army, and thus to help coverup the official secret assassination. He received multiple shots to the legs, so as to avoid maiming his face for identification purposes and simulate combat wounds in an attempt to conceal his ex judicial execution. He said to his executioner, "I know you are here to kill me. Shoot, coward, you are only going to kill a man." Some of his belongings are on display by the CIA as trophies
