Dearest readership:
Something went wrong with the blog with the posting of NBN7Jun -- which has been taken down since -- which somehow bogged down the blog making it difficult to read/load and post comments.
Not everyone experiences these problems however so it's hard to debug or even figure what's going on. Hence the delays and confusion about what exactly is going on and what to do about it.
Some have written thinking they've been banned from commenting.
No one has been banned from anything. There continues to reign the no sign on comment policy. Nothing in the settings have been changed at all. So if you can't post a comment, it's not the fault of the blog settings. It may be the blog's fault, but it's not intentional! It's also not your PC. Some have asked if it's their PC's fault. That's unlikely since others experience the same problem from time to time.
In terms of the blog being slow, it's strange since we only have less than 60 postings now, while other blogs on google run happily with 500+ so it's not some quota issue. Plus the blog claims to be happily featuring 500 posts on the main page. It's been reduced to 4 posts now, just to make the blog page shorter from the default 7 days worth of posts. Again, this setting isn't the problem since other blogs run fine with far more data and media stuff.
Some said to archive old postings.
There is no archive per se. It's just either a draft or a post. Both take up space and so on. But if it's the amount of data printed on the page, then that's been reduced to 4 posts only.
None of this, of course, has anything to do with commenting since when you're commenting, you're only looking at one article so...
NBN is not ending however!
Yes, the tech performance has been patchy but as you've noticed NBN19Jun is out and a new one is being compiled as though everything is working fine.
It will come out here and also on nationbynation.wordpress.com blog and nationbynation.blogspot.com (which is having problems as well).
Wordpress has open comments and it appears to be happy hosting it so, if the problems persist here, we can all move to wordpress and give that blog a good test ride.
If that one fails, we'll move again, so no one hang your head here! It's better fighting the google annoyances than having west bombs fall on your heads or have west thugs shoot civilians in attempt to spark a total nation-wide revolt like they're trying in Iran.
Do feel free to add to the list of problems you've been having. Even though there's not a whole lot the blogger can do here, maybe some info will shed some light on the source of the problems.

Have you tried contacting BlogSpot about this problem?
They do have tech help, right?
I can't see why the format of this blog would cause such tech problems.
If I were a "conspiracy theorist," I would even venture the idea that someone at Blogspot doesn't like the content of this site and has deliberately fucked up the site's coding somehow.
google blog help centre consists of blogs basically, people posting stuff.
anyone with a problem can go to:
knownissues.blogspot.com and see if they find it there. :)
in the other "help" place i found one guy complaining of not being to always access the blog, which sounded the closest to what i've heard here and there's no answer.
that's pretty much me exhausted with it. it works fine for me but obviously it's not for many.
again, it's on nationbynation.wordpress.com and i'm checking a few other blogs out there.
You may be right, Anon 03:01. But I´m glad to see the blogmasters are fighting back and not fading away. United we stand, Divided we fall. Let´s meet whatever comes with a laugh heard round the world. Gratitude and hats off to the blogmasters here.
Great minds meet, 07:55 and 07:56. We´re no tech giants round here, but what one mind devises, another can penetrate as well. We're getting there.
Look, I don´t know about others, but I always go to the latest posting to carry on the blog dialogue. It´s the most convenient way. So here´s today´s offering:
The World Bank maintains the database of Gross External Debt Positions of countries.The top five countries with the largest external debt are as follows:
Country External Debt in Millions(at the end of 2008) Year-Over-Year Change
United States 13,641,807 1.6%
United Kingdom 9,388,012 -19.9%
Germany 5,250,499 1.8%
France 5,001,696 2.4%
Netherlands 2,439,864 -6.1%
The USA is the biggest debtor country with a total of $13.6 Trillion at the end of 2008. On a year-over-year basis, this represents an increase of 1.6%. In order to see the creditors to the US, you can check my earlier post titled Top Ten Creditors to the USA. The country with the second largest debt is the UK. Total external debt of the UK stood at $9.3 T. Though this may seem large at first glance, it is actually good since the UK reduced their debt by 19.9% from 2007. All the top five debtor countries are developed rich countries.This is fascinating since these countries are able to borrow so much money to keep their economy moving forward
ok.
Iran has bust another CIA network, this one seeking to carry out a "soft revolution" in Iran through people-to-people contacts. Ah, the sheaple! Will they ever learn?
Just read this somewhere and thought I´d share it with you:
CIA (aka Cocaine Industry of America) should stick to the business they know best... bringing drugs into America to kill Americans.

"Our wallet is empty. Our bank is closed. Our credit is dried up." Cal Gov. A. Schwarzenegger.
California is America’s most populous state with 38 million people. Its GDP of $1.8 trillion is the largest in the U.S. Its economy is bigger than those of Russia, Brazil, Canada, or India.
And it’s collapsing.
Major California counties are ground zero in the continuing mortgage meltdown: Los Angeles County with 5.32 percent of mortgages 90 days past due … Monterrey County, 8.02 percent … Imperial, 8.13 … San Bernadino, 8.66 … Madeira, 9.21 … San Joaquin, 9.53 … Riverside, 10.2 … Merced, 10.57 … and more! California’s inventory of foreclosed homes is skyrocketing. Home prices are plunging. And the impact of surging unemployment is just beginning to show up in the data … worst unemployment in 64 years = 11.5% officially, unofficially add some 5% more. A stunning 24.3bn deficit. And no Obama declaration: California is too big to fail. Quo vadis?
OECD - World economy will grow next year - but not Britain
UK to shrink 4.3% this year and stay flat in 2010
Global economy to contract 4.1% in 2009, grow 0.7% next year
The Guardian, 24.6.09
anyone keeping track of all the predictions by various organisations throughout this recession? They're all over the place! I for one am thoroughly confused. Wasn't it only a couple of weeks ago that the UK was predicted to "lead the world out of recession"?
Economics - voodoo dressed up as science.
Good comment 10:54. Science there´s nowhere. Just voodoo stuff. Also, the blog´s having teething problems. Don´t throw the baby out with the bath.

Quick thought on Iran:
The Iranian government did not engage the Pasdaran to crush any riots, which tells us that the cop+Basij combination, combined with the *threat* of engaging the Pasdaran, was enough to deal with the riots. That, in turn, suggests that we might be getting a bloated image of the actual level of rioting and violence in the country. The Guccci coup d'etat has lost momentum. Soon we´ll find ourselves discussing other matters.
Super. I took a look at the NBN on wordpress and found it to my liking. But not having got the hang of how to use comments there, I´ll continue posting here for the time being.
RE: Our wallet is empty, 97 days still to go before mayhem comes to the USans.
Brief Red Alerts - By Matthias Chang (24/6/09)
Because of time constraints, I will in this Red Alert merely highlight some critical issues:
1) The Bear Market Rally Is Over. There will be further attempts to shore the market up, but for all intents and purposes it is over. See the ARTICLE in the website about how the insiders were selling when you, the retail investor suckers, were buying. This one factor itself proves my point.
2) If I was the Head of CIA and I want to destablise Iran, this is what I would do: -
a) If I knew that my preferred asset and candidate will not win but trigger a political crisis, I will rig the elections by a few million votes.
b) Then, I will conduct a campaign to project that my candidate would in fact win and that if he loses, it will be a fraud perpetrated by the winner.
c) Before the elections results are out and announced, my asset will pre-emptively declare that he is the winner.
d) When he is declared the loser, start a mass campaign to allege fraud.
e) Knowing how the fraud was committed, I then reveal the modus operandi to the authorities. Hey Pristo, they discover in fact there were “incidents of fraud” (perpetrated by the CIA but unknown to the Mullahs).
But the Big Big mistake is that the fraud was not big enough and as it turns out it did not affect the overall results. CIA campaign BACKFIRES.
Had they mounted a major fraud amounting to tens of millions of phantom voters, it would be too obvious AND THE AUTHORITIES WOULD SMELL A RAT AS THE PRE-ELECTION POLLS (BY EVEN WESTERN ORGANISATIONS) FORECASTED President Ahmadinejad’s victory.
The CIA did what they had to do, but the campaign collapsed as the majority of the people voted against the CIA-asset, Mousavi!
Not possible? With the CIA, anything is possible!
Informatron, James, where are you? We are at the end of our tether here and desperately need your counsel, skills and expertise.
California is being kept artificially afloat by those foul rating agencies. But default on its debt is inevitable.
James Corbett - The Corbett Report on Iran
23 June, 2009
It's the 2009 presidential election in Iran and opposition leader Mir-Houssein Mousavi declares victory hours before the polls close, insuring that any result to the contrary will be called into question. Western media goes into overdrive, fighting with each other to see who can offer the most hyperbolic denunciation of the vote and President Ahmadenijad's apparent victory (BBC wins by publishing bald-faced lies about the supposed popular uprising which it is later forced to retract). On June 13th, 30000 "tweets" begin to flood Twitter with live updates from Iran, most written in English and provided by a handful of newly-registered users with identical profile photos. The Jerusalem Post writes a story about the Iran Twitter phenomenon a few hours after it starts (and who says Mossad isn't staying up to date with new media?). Now, YouTube is providing a "Breaking News" link at the top of every page linking to the latest footage of the Iranian protests (all shot in high def, no less). Welcome to Destabilization 2.0, the latest version of a program that the western powers have been running for decades in order to overthrow foreign, democratically elected governments that don't yield to the whims of western governments and multinational corporations.
China buys Addax for £4.4bn to tap Iraqi oil
China has made its first big foray into Iraq in a C$8bn (£4.4bn) deal to buy London-listed oil explorer Addax Petroleum. By Rowena Mason
24 Jun 2009
The board of Addax, which is also listed in Toronto and based in Switzerland, has recommended a C$52.80 per share offer from Sinopec, the Chinese state oil and gas company.
Addax has oil assets in West Africa and the Middle East, particularly the Kurdistan region of northern Iraq. The company has increased its crude oil production from 8.8m barrels per day ten to 134.7m barrels per day over the last ten years.
"Simultaneously, in a new type of effort, the CIA is mobilizing anti-Iranian militants in the United States and in the United Kingdom to increase the chaos. A Practical Guide to revolution in Iran was distributed to them, which contains a number of recommendations, including:
set Twitter accounts feeds to Tehran time zone;
centralize messages on the following Twitter accounts @stopAhmadi, #iranelection and #gr88 ;
official Iranian State websites should not be attacked. « Let the US military take care of it » (sic).
When applied, these recommendations make it impossible to authenticate any Twitter messages. It is impossible to know if they are being sent by witnesses of the demonstrations in Tehran or by CIA agents in Langley, and it is impossible to distinguish real from false ones. The goal is to create more and more confusion and to push Iranians to fight amongst themselves.
Army general staffs everywhere in the world are closely following the events in Tehran. They are trying to evaluate the efficiency of this new subversion method in the Iranian experimental field. Evidently, the destabilization process worked. But it is unclear if the CIA will be able to channel demonstrators to do what the Pentagon has renounced to do, and what they do not want to do themselves : to change the regime and put an end to the Islamic revolution."
The CIA and the Iranian experiment
http://www.voltairenet.org/article160670.html
God, at shits they all are, the CIA-Mossy boys and the people who let themselves get bought up by them. Still, I believe, the twitter rev like the one before in Moldova, is doomed to failure. Though the stakes are high, what with the son of the Shah positioning himself as the natural leader of Iran, etc. Next twitter rev should seek out the UK. We want Charles on the throne now.
10:54 -- econ voodoo
as echoed by 11:22, there is no such thing as econ. it's total BS. 100%, like everything else west. history, news, food... etc.
no part of the textbook econ rubbish applies to any west fiscal charade. west has always run off monopolies. it cannot live off anything else. and it's lost its monopolies (drugs, food, poverty export, and chiefly cash) hence its inevitable end.

11:39 -- wordpress NBN version
right, the interface is diff, which bites having to learn new nonsense to do the same old stupid trick. if commenting is different, believe me, the posting bites compared to this but... if that's all that's available...
besides it doesn't hurt to be a bit spread.

12:01 -- Panarin counter
see, i tried adding a gadget for the Panarin counter but all they have are some superbowl countdown and rubbish like that.

TECH NOTE
i experienced a problem just know. it kept reloading every few seconds, but not fully, it just kept highlighting the 'stop' button on firefox and it appeared to be constantly wanna load something. so i zapped the sidebar rubbish to min.
Informatron's Article19 Vid is in the links so not to worry. and at the moment it seems to be functional. do let me know if anyone's experiencing problems or not.
X here: Good no one is even thinking of giving up at this point. One trick with comments: Before posting, copy. Occasionally the error announcement comes on. Then we start again and paste the copied comment once more. Usually, second time round, it works. I rather like the comment section on wordpress and it´s even simpler to handle than on blogspot. For a while, poiuytr will have to be agile and commute between the two sites until it´s clear which one attracts more people.

07:34 - Charles should be made king and straightaway. Then he can share his throne with the son of the Shah. They´d make a terrific team.
So who cares, reality in Iran is not going to go their way and hopefully the Iranians start waking up that one should never ever go to bed with zios, like attending meetings regarding Afghanistan or Iraq.
High time for Iran to support the resistance in Iraq and Afghanistan and get the ziowest meager armies paralysed.
Likewise watch out for the cells built by the zioentity`s representatives Kochavi in the UAE and the French base there too, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi etc are already occupied by the zioUS.
So what happened in Tehran should be the late Wake UP call for the Iranian government.
I agree, poiuytr, about west living off its various monopolies. Could you explain, however, what you meant by "poverty export"? What does it cover and who´s taken it on now, the export part, I mean? China, Russia and the Gulf States?
Mandolin
09:18 - You´re absolutely right. If all these buggers (so-called leaders of various countries) would only take back power from the hands of the zios, we´d finally be getting somewhere. The econ collapse is well on its way. When will the political collapse start to show?
9 U.S. soldiers wounded in bomb attack in Baghdad
BAGHDAD, June 25 (Xinhua) — The U.S. military said nine of its soldiers were wounded in a roadside bomb attack in eastern Baghdad on Thursday.
"A coalition forces patrol was struck by two improvised explosive devices this morning in the eastern Baghdad district of Rusafa," the military said in a statement.
"Approximately nine coalition forces personnel were wounded in the attack and one vehicle was damaged," the statement said.
Meanwhile, a police source told Xinhua that two roadside bombs struck U.S. patrols near the Shaab Stadium in eastern Baghdad earlier in the day, destroying a U.S. Humvee.
RE Iran: Of course Ahmadinejad has widespread support.
If Mousavi really had 70% or more support then the security forces of Iran would have no chance in stopping a revolution, as happened in Romania. There the security forces killed over 1000 and yet the people didn't give up and eventually the army joined the uprising.
In Iran on the other you have a bunch of rich kids and a portion of the middle class agitating for various reasons almost exclusively in Teheran! The BBC and CNN shills didn't even bother hiding the fact that almost no protesters anywhere else in the country.
Even these Teheran 'revolutionaries' have shown to be little more than fair weather hooligans. They tried to attack some RG compound and got rightly blown away. Then a mixture of banditry and provocateurs killed a couple more and suddenly they are all nice and quiet!
If they represented the majority, why did the protests fizzle after a few deaths? Poor rich kids were feeling so 'cool' at throwing rocks at the police and burning buildings! They had with what to impress the girls at bars with; telling them about their 'heroic' deeds against the 'oppressive state', but it got no fun when the police decided to put a stop to their rioting!
Nothing worse than 'ersatz revolutionaries' of their kind. Had enough dealings with their hypocritical type at my Australian university. Fiu!
Thanks for the new Archive section. Handy for anyone looking for something that came before. We´ll put it to good use.
In 2nd stage of drill, Iran tests bombers' prowess - 23 Jun 2009
Iran has successfully conducted the second phase of a large aerial maneuver over the Persian Gulf, testing domestically made fighter jets and interceptor aircrafts.
“With regards to long-distance flights of around 3,600 km, we successfully conducted aerial refueling from tanker to fighter jet and from fighter jet to fighter jet,” Air Force pilot Brigadier Hossein Chit-Foroush, spokesman for the maneuver, said on Tuesday. Iran's F-4 and F-5 fighter jets and the Iranian-made fighters known as "Saegheh", meaning "Thunderbolt" in Persian, also took part in the maneuvers.
Air Force commander Brigadier General Hassan Shah-Safi on Monday said fighters would practice hitting targets beyond one thousand kilometers.
We were all so busy with the shit on the streets of Tehran, we forgot the aerial manoeuves Iran was carrying out at the same time. 1.000 km means Israel and US bases in Iraq are now within Iranian airforce range. No wonder they absolutely needed their stooge Moussavi.
Russia opposes Iran isolation
Thu, 25 Jun 2009
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has declared that the post-election unrest in Iran is an exercise in democracy in the country.
Lavrov, who is attending a G8 Foreign Ministers meeting on Thursday in Trieste, Italy, said that no one was willing to condemn Iran over its disputed presidential election, Reuters reported.
Lavrov, speaking to reporters after a bilateral meeting with his Italian counterpart noted that it was wrong to isolate the Islamic Republic and that engagement was the key.
The top diplomats of the eight industrialized countries are gathering in Trieste in northern Italy to discuss the latest developments in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=99062§ionid=351020101
Ya, well, wait till the next Russian elections, they´ll have honed their election destabilisation techniques by then and topple the winner. Always said, democracry is a fool´s game.
For the moment, all three blogs seem to be working well. Congrats. Now to fill them with information that makes sense rather then twitter tripe.
James, Informatron, come out of the shadows, please. Can´t you see we need you? And we need Sufi, too. Why has he gone into hiding. Three blogs at our disposal and none of you tempted to give us your take on world matters?

Jackson and Fawcett Deaths Overshadow NWO Moves On Liberty
'It’s like manna from heaven for the corporate media. Michael Jackson, the “King of Pop,” and Farrah Fawcett, the “It Girl,” have died on the same day. Details of these two tragic events will now dominate the media for more than a week and push vastly more important events into the shadows.
Obama and Congress plan to hand the entire U.S. economy over to an evil cartel of private banksters and inbred elitists, thus creating a dictatorship not answerable to the people. Meanwhile, the corporate media has gathered in a feeding frenzy over the death of a mentally disturbed music icon.'
G8 considers condemning Iran
G8 foreign ministers are seeking to find a common position on Iran, as the EU condemned the use of excessive force in the country.
26 Jun 2009 (Telegraph)
While the host country, Italy, wished to send a strong message, officials in Trieste also stressed the need not to further isolate Iran. The EU commissioner for external relations condemned the use of excessive force, and called for dialogue among battling parties within Iran.
Italy originally invited Iran to attend the three-day gathering as a special guest, arguing that it could play an important role in stabilizing Afghanistan - an important focus of the meeting. But Italy retracted the invitation after Iran failed to respond, and after days of violent clashes with demonstrators protesting Iran's disputed June 12 elections.
