Short Story

I felt a heavy blow on the back of my head, and two arms pushing me around. As a door closed behind me, I lost conciousness. At dawn, the shy little sunrays woke me. Here I am,  lying in an unknown room, hancuffed. Someone is coming here, for I hear people getting closer. Because the lights stunned me, I didn’t recognize him at first, but then I realized who was I dealing with. Dmitry Sergéevich Sokolov, a dreaded gangster from this side of LA. I had never asked him for a favour before, so I asked him -Why am I tied up in here?-. He told me -You are here, Michael, because I know your secret. I know you have been sharing intel with the politsiya.That really annoys me...- -Sorry, but I am not Michael. My name is Jack!- -Don’t lie to me!- 

Actually, I don’t know any Michael...

U.S Jets Strike on Libyan sites. NATO is responsible.

Last week, three Libyan anti-aircraft sites were bombed by U.S military aircrafts, during the night. U.S military officials and the Pentagon told NBC News that, after handing the mission to NATO, U.S jets have continued striking Libyan sites. Both also streesed that it was the third strike in the past week.

Most of the anti-aircraft sites have been destroyed, but lots of Libyan anti-aircraft launchers were still hidden, until Gadhafi's forces repositioned them, to pose a threat to NATO's aircrafts.

According to a senior official, these jets have been part of the mission since the handoff in April 4th. He said they forgot to mention it.

Within this omission from NATO and the US military forces, lots of jet,ammunition, weaponry and else might be hidden. Until this situation, nobody knew about this "backup" supplies for NATO's troop son Libya.

Neither US nor NATO assume the responsability upon this subject, and they insist that this jet are only assigned to the "no-fly zones", and that these have not been part of any strike upon Libyan sites. They also added that these jet are allowed to fire on any enemy defenses as part of this assignment on the "no-fly zones".

Post-Modernism

At the end of this century the big questions about reality  and being human rise with unexpected power. We ask even more agonizingly: What does it mean to be human? How do human beings fit into this vast cosmos? Where to from here? We live in a time of great uncertainty--caught in the transition from a bold and passionate optimism about the future to a deep skepticism and spirit of nihilism about findingany universal ways for mankind. We live in a postmodern time
