"*Lieutenant-General Sir Adrian Paul Ghislain Carton de Wiart[1] VC, KBE, CB,
CMG, DSO (5 May 1880 - 5 June 1963), was a British Army officer of Belgianand Irish descent. He fought in the Boer
War, World War I, and World War II, was shot in the face, head, stomach,

Nick and Margaret beat you over the head with the Great British Budget

Celebrity chefs and Ordinary Folk acting out pretend ‘first encounters’ so

Alan Moore
The surveillance state is nothing new: From Bentham’s panopticon to
McGoohan’s Village to “V for Vendetta’s” streetcams to the NSA’s Prism.
Alan Moore:
*"To me, one of the biggest surprises of these recent surveillance
revelations is how surprised people are. The level of surveillance we’ve
had over here for the past 20 years now is ridiculous — and useless, I
would add.
Eerily enough, the security cameras on every street corner of Britain was
instigated by the incoming Blair government in 1997, which was when I
decided, back in 1982 or so, to set the first episode of “V fo... more »
You Incomplete Me
At this point, I don’t give a damn if the word “incomplete”
cannot be used as a verb. If “complete” as in the endlessly sappy, “You
complete me” can be a verb in *that* context, so can “incomplete” in “you
incomplete me.” It perfectly describes how I’m feeling about the world and
the people who populate it in general. So if that and the excessively
captiousness of this disappoints you, consider it a down payment on all the
disappointment to which I’ve been subjected over the span of the first 54
years of my life.

CAN WE TALK: Kitty Genovese died for George Zimmerman’s sins!
*FRIDAY, JULY 12, 2013*
*Part 5—Two famous tales of the Times:* Way back in 1964, the New York
Times made up a story.
This story involved a victim’s cries for help and witnesses’ calls to
police.
As the story was told in the Times, parts of the story were true, but large
parts of the story were false. In part for that reason, the story became
extremely famous.
It was very much a tale of the times. In large part, that explains why the
story was invented and why it became so famous.
This story concerned the stabbing death of Kitty Genovese, a 28-year-old

Witches Past and Present- Spellbinding by Maya Gold (a book review)
When it comes to Young Adult literature it seems like there are two types
of main characters: those who have bad things happen and rise above and
those who have bad things happen and act foolishly, causing more bad
things. Unfortunately, Abby, from Spellbinding, was one of the latter.
Spellbinding, by Maya Gold, was fine. Just fine. It wasn't the worst book I

It had a lot of potential in the beginning. Abby has been having headaches

Being a witness at trial
Being a witness comes up in many different ways. First you can be a
witness in a case brought by or against you. So then you are a party and
it really is the only chance you will have to tell your story. In such a
case you have to be especially careful to answer only the questions asked
and not to get overly emotional. Second you can be a witness in support of
someone close to you – and almost the same considerations apply. Finally
you can be a witness in a case where you don’t really care who wins – there
your emotions are not as likely to get involved.

Spiritual Parasite: A Shamanic Perspective Of Abuse, And Its Treatment With Gregori
What I find startling is that I have observed the exact progression in
others and have come to a similar scenario as a working model. In this
article, I am having it read back to me. It also conforms directly to the
ayauska experience which also identifies a parasitic image that is at least
isolated. In our own culture, we have anthropomorphized these effects as a
almost rational demon. That appears to be a bad choice of descriptives for
what is a defined elemental effect operating irrationally.
This appears to be an expression of the processing capabilities centered

Manganese Stepping Stone to Oxygen Photosynthesis
This makes it pretty clear that manganese is far more important in a
biological sense that had been plausibly considered. It is certainly
heavily represented in sediments and related volcanics, something that I
have seen for myself.
Yet this was unexpected. It may inform us a much more.
A better understanding of manganese biology is now clearly called for.

NSA Wire Taps and Telcom's Profit From It...
By American Kabuki
I saw this on the Wealth Channel on my cable TV today. Wealth TV is a
channel for the ultra-rich, it showcases homes and vacations most of us
could never dream of having. The TV network is based here in San Diego,
and its news shows, with feeds from Reuters and AP are really pretty good
by current American news standards.
The news segment says the average wiretap (which often run months or years
in duration) is $50,000. Verizon receives 250,000 wire tap orders a year

*It has been a month since the White House informed journalists that
President Obama had decided to supply Syrian rebels with light arms. Since
then, the regime has launched a bloody new offensive in the city of Homs,
using heavy artillery and rockets to attack residential areas held by the

approaching 100,000. President Bashar al-Assad has been b... more »
If Only We Weren't Lashed Tightly to Fossil Fuels, We Might Save the World
What would you give for a chance to reverse global warming? Think on that

DRONES EVERYWHERE THESE DAYS
The experimental X-47B drone has successfully landed on a US Navy aircraft

Johnny Got His Gun is a 1971 anti-war film based on the novel of the same
name written and directed by Dalton Trumbo and starring Timothy Bottoms,
Jason Robards and Donald Sutherland with Diane Varsi. The film is well
known for distinguishing between Joe's reality and fantasy with black and
white for the hospital, and color for his dreams and memories. His dreams
are drug induced, as when he talks to his dead father and Christ, with the
color being saturated. His memories are in a clearer color, such as the

Non lethal...
An apparently healthy 23-year-old man from Greater Manchester died

weapons are usually described as non-lethal. The United Nations describes
them as torture devices. Many governments, including the British
government, disagree. Here is a Wikipedia list, I’m sure it’s not
exhaustive, of incidents in the last ten years where taser guns have cause
significant injury or death. Police taser gun use is increasing in Britain
(up 66% in the year up to March 2011).

'I don't want to get pregnant now' would probably be the quick answer from

'I don't want to be pregnant now' should be the only answer a woman seeking

And the grand thing is -- in Canada it is the only reason a woman has to

for over 25 years.
Yet Judith Timson says that most women won't talk about their abortions

On Fire!
The images from the Toronto flood are astounding considering it derived
purely from a rainstorm - not a huge hurricane like Sandy, or several
rivers overflowing with snow melt.
Meanwhile, although no one puts it together, the country is awash in local
news stories about trees falling.
These screenshots are from video in Chicago, a spectacle now becoming so
familiar and typical that people are inured to the unprecedented damage
being done to houses, cars and power lines.

How Much Of a Third World Country is Okay for Canada?
We've been given a price tag for adapting Canada's essential
infrastructureto climate change - one trillion dollars, give or take a
few billion. I'm
pretty sure that's an American trillion - one thousand billion - not the
British trillion - one million billion.
So let's say we spread that out over fifty years at twenty billion per
annum. The federal government alone supposedly takes in some
$260-billion
a year so $20 to 30-billion a year spread out among the feds, provinces
and
municipalities should be doable.
Do we have a fifty-year window to rehabilitate our infrastructure? ... more »
Even If You're Not A Neil Young Fan, We Still Want You To Get To Know Pennsylvania State Senator Daylin Leach
A few days ago we asked you to take a look at the Blue America Neil Young
contest. Shorter version here. But Daylin Leach is a lot more than a cute
contest. And although Neil Young's music was important to young Daylin when
he was growing up, it isn't the only thing that helped form Daylin Leach.
He was raised in Northeast Philadelphia by a single mother. When Daylin's
grandmother got terminally sick, his mother had to quit work to devote her
full attention to taking care of her. This meant that she could no longer
take care of Daylin and he was sent to live in a series of foster ... more »
Fomenting Civil War in Egypt
Eric Draitser
StopImperialism.com
The killing of more than 50 people at a demonstration in support of ousted
Egyptian President Morsi in Cairo on Monday has justifiably horrified many
in Egypt and internationally. The pro-Morsi elements have placed the blame
on the military forces, while the military claims it was attacked with live
ammunition. While accusations are hurled back and forth, a new aspect to
this story is emerging – the presence of a third force, namely snipers
stationed on rooftops firing at both sides of the conflict. This
revelation raises serious questions about... more »

"27 Facts That Prove That The Family In America Is In The Worst Shape Ever"
*"27 Facts That Prove That The Family*
* In America Is In The Worst Shape Ever"*

"The family is one of the fundamental building blocks of society. If you do

Unfortunately, the state of the family in America continues to deteriorate.
The marriage rate has fallen to an all-time low, we lead the world in

Garofalo (ALEC-MN) - Hostile Responses Based on ALEC "Education"
Once in awhile you run into nut jobs that just can’t have their beliefs

Once in awhile these nut jobs go over the edge – way over the deep end -

Will justice be served for George Zimmerman? BREAKING: Jury can consider 3rd degree charges based on "aggravated child abuse?"......
*seriously?* This whole trial is insane!
From Legal Insurrection:
As expected, the Judge in the George Zimmerman case ruled that in addition
to Second Degree Murder, she will instruct the jury on the lesser included
offense of Manslaughter, as required by Florida case law.
In a surprise move this morning, the prosecution asked the Judge to drop
the Aggravated Assault charge and to instruct the jury on Third Degree
Murder, which is murder in the course of committing a felony.
The felony the State wanted as the predicate was Aggravated Child Abuse
(Jury Instruction) because Trayvon Ma... more »

Islamophobia – The Irrational Fear of Questioning Islam - Liberties Alliance :: Liberties Alliance
A must read article... Here's the introduction:
'This article will discuss the way the word 'Islamophobia' has been used as
a political weapon rather than as an honest way of communicating an idea.
The main problem arises from the fact that by combining the words 'Islam'
and 'phobia' the resulting term is itself contradictory given current
usage. It ignores rational fears that people may have and in the best
Stalinist tradition labels those with such fears as being mentally ill.
We will start by showing how the term 'Islamophobia' as it is currently
used is merely a political tool... more »

After 28 months of conflict, Assad defeated Washington's best laid plans.
Its Syrian National Coalition (SNC) opposition lacks effective leadership.
It lacks legitimacy.
It's an artificial construct. It operates extrajudicially. It resembles a
gang that can't shoot straight. On July 8, another leader resigned.

Targeting Iran

America targets Iran. It does so ruthlessly. It's done it since 1979. It
wants its sovereignty destroyed.
It wants pro-Western puppet leadership instead. It wants its independent
government replaced. It wants its oil and gas, stupid. It wants
unchallenged regional control.
Hassan Rohani's election doesn't matter. He's Iran's President-Elect. He'll
be inaugurated on August 3. He combines diplomacy, politics and
scholarship. He's known as the "Diplomat Sheikh."

US Birthrates Plummet by 310,000 Babies: Responsible Economic Planning or Shadow Depopulation?
