Brace Yourself. The Next Bout of Denialism Is Already Showing Up
A neat refresher piece on the* Five Stages of Denialism* is available from *The

The Big Difference Between 1995 and Now
One more point about Speaker Boehner and the Republicans as we approach a
possible shutdown: this is very different than 1995-1996. Newt Gingrich,
unlike Boehner now, really did believe that Bill Clinton was going to fold;
his entire strategy for the year was to play chicken with Clinton, who he
mistakenly saw as a weakling.
Newt, too, really was coming off of a stunning electoral victory. Bill
Clinton's approval ratings were fairly similar to where Barack Obama is
now, but where we sit in the electoral cycle is totally different, since
the most recent election was an Obama-reelecti... more »

You Can't Take Him At His Word
Stephen Harper was in British Columbia over the weekend, "negotiating" with
British Columbia's native peoples on the Northern Gateway file. Michael
Harris writes that Mr. Harper has a constitutional duty to consult with

*That* approach would violate the Harper government’s preferred tactic when
dealing with opponents: blunt declarations of how it’s going to be,
followed by a rabbit punch or two. Think of Jim Flaherty’s negotiating

[T]he key thing to know about a shutdown is that it will end. Maybe after a

both Boehner (and mainstream conservatives) and Obama (and mainstream

in this world than that radical “conservatives” will believe that if only

Osama bin Laden, also known as American CIA operative Tim Osman, died of

Understanding Anbar Before And After The Awakening Part IV, Sheikh Wissam Abdul Ibrahim Hardan
Sheikh Abdul Abu Risha and Sheikh Wissam Abdul Ibrahim Hardan were the
brains behind the Anbar Awakening. The two met in 2006, and decided to
organize the major tribes in the province against the insurgents. The
problem was that many of the sheikhs were reluctant at first to join in Abu
Risha and Hardan’s scheme. The Awakening also had to convince the Americans
of their sincerity, and deal with the Iraqi Islamic Party that controlled
Anbar. Once they overcame these difficulties, and were successful in
expelling the militants however, the Awakening began breaking up. Those

"We Shall Endure..."
“We draw our strength from the very despair in which we have been forced
to live.
We shall endure.”
- Cesar Chavez
“Despair means hopelessness. When you don't see any ray of hope, all doors
seem closed to you, you experience despair. Despair kills all hope inside a
human being. To kill the feeling of despair, one needs to move on and
accept the reality. Action is the antidote or remedy to kill the feeling of
despair and nip it in the bud. In the words of William Cowper, “Absence
from whom we love is worse than death; and frustrates hope severer than
despair.” Failure, heart... more »

ERA+ under 80. That's not the whole story, but it's most of it. I'm not

"Nothing..."
“Nothing that is worth doing can be achieved in our lifetime; therefore we
must be saved by hope. Nothing which is true or beautiful or good makes
complete sense in any immediate context of history; therefore we must be
saved by faith. Nothing we do, however virtuous, can be accomplished alone;
therefore we must be saved by love. No virtuous act is quite as virtuous
from the standpoint of our friend or foe as it is from our standpoint.
Therefore we must be saved by the final form of love which is forgiveness.”

Censored News: In these times of impotent media
By
Brenda Norrell
Censored News
In these days of impotent, plagiarizing and gutless media, there are
several things on my mind.
Plagiarism. Indian Country Today has found a new source to plagiarize
for Navajo Nation news. It is the Farmington Daily Times. (Psst Daily
Times, they should be paying you for your work.) Ask the Indian Country
Today 'reporters' why you haven't seen them present on
Recusal not justified by the mere fact that a judge was involved in some interlocutory part of a case
*Toliver v Koepke,* 2013 ABCA 297:
[5] The appellant also suggests that two other judges of this
Court are disqualified from hearing this appeal, because they also had
minor involvement in interlocutory proceedings in the trial court. However,
the mere fact that a judge is involved in some interlocutory part of the
proceedings does not mean that the judge cannot act in any later parts of
it. This is so even if the judge rules against one of the parties on
interlocutory issues: *Collins v Canada*, 2011 FCA 123 (CanLII), 2011 FCA

Probation order as part of conditional discharge may not require charitable donation
R. v. Choi (J.W.), 2013 MBCA 75:
[50] In my opinion, the imposition of a condition in a
probation order which forms part of a conditional discharge sentence
requiring that an accused make a donation of $6,000 to each of two named
charities is not a sentencing option available under the *Code*.

Witch Hat Halloween Decoration
My 4-year-old loves Halloween. She talks about it all year long and then
can't sleep the night before. She would take Halloween over Christmas any
day of the week and was so disappointed to find that we had hardly any
Halloween decorations. So last year we set out to make sure this year we
had tons. Here is the darling Witch Hat she requested. She wanted a witch
hat with leaves on it, this is what I came up with.
You will need:
a witch hat, any size, mine is a smaller hat

Q Day 2: Speaker Boehner?
Kal asks:
What would it take for you to consider Boehner a "failure" as Speaker?
This is a great question, since I often say that Boehner is a pretty good
Speaker, but don't always really explain what I mean.
So, what would make Boehner a failure? First and foremost, if his own
conference turned against him (especially early in his tenure). That would
be pretty good evidence. But you're probably thinking: there was a
semi-revolt against him at the beginning of this Congress! Well, yes, but I
think that's hard to hold against him; those who opposed him were from the
fringes of the p... more »

Pepe Escobar is the roving reporter for Asia Times. He really roves, and he knows knows many of the languages. He was the first, and perhaps the only, reporter to note the possible assassination of Dubya Bush's Saudi friend Bandar bin Salton a year ago. Bandar has now reappeared and is an active party to the destablization of Syria. Here Pepe explains in detail why Syria is so coveted by many global power centers. You are not likely to learn this from the mainstream media.

On The Syrian Front, The World Is Not Out of The Woods Yet: Prepare For New False Flags To Be Blamed On Assad
Why is the Syrian government *declaring victory* after the U.S. and Russia
made a deal about the status of its chemical weapons? This is an obnoxious
and stupid move. No victory is a victory if it is not decisive.
Don't the Syrian officials know that full-scale war against them is still
on the agenda? This diplomatic breakthrough between the United States and
Russia is tentative at best, and purposely designed to fail because of the
artificially shortened timetable to hand over the chemical weapons.
Syria has conceded its chemical weapons stockpile, but what has the Obama

Competition Policy 3: Jemy Gatdula's Article
The proposal to have a Competition Law in the Philippines has been there
since about two decades now. No law yet, and neither is it becoming a law
soon.
Somehow I support having a Competition Law, but this is secondary to the
bigger, more important proposal, to amend the Philippine Constitution to
abolish the limit on foreign equity investments, and the restriction on
foreign professionals to practice their profession here.

Q Day 1: Immigration Timing?
Leviathan asks:
...[F]or most Republicans standing in the way of reform, the issue is a
primary challenge and not a general election challenge.
If for a good chunk of those congressmen, their main disincentive is a
primary challenge while their true preference is for immigration reform to
pass either out of personal conviction or because of their assessment of
the GOP's future, then the most opportune time for a vote would be after
primary season either before or after the general election.
So my question is this. What do you think of this theory and what do you

Perverted President Of A Perverted People
Last week Tuesday, I took the time to take a close look at the criminal US
President's speech to the American public, and honestly it was one of the
most revolting speeches I had ever read... I posted an article tearing it
basically to shreds and showed clearly that the US President Barry
Obama/Soetoro/Davis (take your pick as to what his real last name is) was a
liar and a man absolutely bent on war against the innocent nation of
Syria.... It was so disgusting and basically made me sick...

Exploring The Structural Problems With Iraq’s Economy, Interview With Lehigh University Prof. Frank Gunter
Iraq’s economy is based upon a contradiction. It has huge natural wealth
with its petroleum reserves that are being developed, and provides most of
the country’s revenues. At the same time that industry hardly provides any
jobs. That is a classic dilemma posed by the oil curse. To help explain
this issue and others that affect the country is Lehigh Professor of
Economics Frank Gunter. Previously Prof. Gunter was the lead economist to
the U.S. military in Iraq from 2005-2006 and 2008-2009. And he is the

music recording.
The song memorialized the wreck of the famous “Fast Mail” train, which had

an hour when his whistle broke out in a scream.”
