Anyone know why I can't open Tumblr pages?

 

I have had problems with access for several days now.
I don’t get a time-out message but most of the time when I try to load the dashboard, customise screen or anything else with a Tumblr address the browser comes up either with a blank or just part of a page and often no images.
This is regardless of the op system (I use a Mac laptop and Windows XP at the desk) or browser (I use Firefox, Chrome and Flock).

I got to the dashboard and this screen I’m typing in only after many attempts … so it’s slow going.
I have stripped Javascript out of my “info” box in case there was a conflict or corruption there.
Don’t know what else to do at this stage; other websites and networks are behaving normally.

Former CIA staffers Kathleen and Bill Christison:

It matters little what you call it, so long as it is recognized that what Israel intends and is working toward is the erasure of the Palestinian people from the Palestine landscape.
Israel most likely does not care about how systematic its efforts at erasure are, or how rapidly they proceed, and in these ways it differs from the Nazis.

There are no gas chambers; there is no overriding urgency.
Gas chambers are not needed.
A round of rockets on a residential housing complex in the middle of the night here, a few million cluster bomblets or phosphorous weapons there can, given time, easily meet the UN definition above.

Children shot to death sitting in school classrooms here, families murdered while tilling their land there; agricultural land stripped and burned here, farmers cut off from their land there; little girls riddled with bullets here, infants beheaded by shell fire there; a little massacre here, a little starvation there; expulsion here, denial of entry and families torn apart there; dispossession is the name of the game.

With no functioning economy, dwindling food supplies, medical supply shortages, no way to move from one area to another, no access to a capital city, no easy access to education or medical care, no civil service salaries, the people will die, the nation will die without a single gas chamber.
Or so the Israelis hope.


Kathleen Christison is a former CIA political analyst who has worked on Middle East issues for 30 years and the author of Perceptions of Palestine and The Wound of Dispossession. Bill Christison was a National Intelligence Officer and a Director of the CIA’s Office of Regional and Political Analysis.

Walrus revisited

 

 

“I have defiled a timeless piece of art!” (Jim Carrey towards the end of a few mins BRILLIANCE singing the Beatles’ I Am the Walrus his own way). Now I’d like to hear a whole album of Carrey Beatles covers - this is inspired!

Orwell's dreams

 

Tumblr_l43ere0wqa1qa61z2o1_400


• Torture: While acknowledging that waterboarding is torture and that torture violates domestic and international law, President Obama and members of Congress have barred any investigation or prosecution of those crimes.

• Pollution: While citizens are subject to pay for the full damage they cause to their neighbors and are routinely fined for their environmental damage for everything from dumping in rivers to leaf burning, Congress capped the liability for massive corporations.

• Privacy: When the telecommunications companies found themselves on the losing end of citizen suits over the violation of privacy laws, Congress (including then-Sen. Obama) and President Bush simply changed the law to legislatively kill the citizen suits and protect the companies.
