*The Fed is a Jewish monopoly, ridiculous "Holocaust" propaganda, more
hypocritical Jewish identity politics*
With Obama's recent nomination of Janet Yellen to become the next chairman
(chairwoman, I should say) to head the Federal Reserve, there should be no
doubt about the fact that the entire Federal Reserve System, the private
consortium of largely Jewish-run banks sanctioned by Congress in 1913 to
print and loan money at interest to the United States federal government
and other private banking institutions, is a *Jewish monopoly*. *The Jewish

Reading Ripley: And Gladwell too!
*FRIDAY, OCTOBER 11, 2013*
*In search of “adventure stories” and “wonderful, thrilling” events:*Yesterday, for whatever reason, we just couldn’t face it.
We couldn’t face the negativity of continuing with our thread—our thread
about Amanda Ripley’s lack of interest in low-income kids.
Ripley has published an interesting, ballyhooed book, The Smartest Kids in
the World. Her education proposals may make perfect good sense for
middle-class students.
But the challenges facing (many) low-income kids barely appear in her book.

Ted Cruz? Winnowed, Probably
I've been on the side of those who thought that Ted Cruz was a viable
candidate for the Republican nomination in 2016. Not a likely winner, but
very plausible.
I'm pretty sure that's done now.
I was willing to defend Cruz's chances despite his quickly-gained
reputation within the Senate for excessively sharp elbows. I thought that
Hill reputation was a relatively minor factor in overall party view of a
contender.
But what's happened to him now goes well beyond Hill reputation. Moreover,
the type of bad reputation has changed, and that should matter, too. Three
things:

It's easy to say the government always screws things up and, therefore, the

Review - Sustainable Disposable Products by Eco-Products
I don't like single-use, disposable products and avoid them. That said, I

For example, hosting a party, picnic or dinner for a large organization or
business would mean buying reusable plates, utensils, glasses, etc. That
would be expensive and then there's the problem of washing and storing the
items.
Reusable plates and glasses, which are usually breakable, are not safe for

"Reality..."
"Reality is what we take to be true. What we take to be true is what we
believe. What we believe is based upon our perceptions. What we perceive
depends upon what we look for. What we look for depends upon what we think.
What we think depends upon what we perceive. What we perceive determines
what we believe. What we believe determines what we take to be true. What
we take to be true is our reality."
- Gary Zukav
This Michigan judge cracks down on his own danged cell-phone-abusing self
*"Why would I treat myself any different?" says Judge Clarke. "That would
make me a hypocrite."*
*by Ken*
Here's a touching little story I wanted to make sure you saw. There's one
detail in the HuffPost Tech account, one that happened to bother me, which
isn't quite right, as you'll see by referring to Judge Clarke's actual
courtroom sign, reproduced above.

Free Download: Olaf Stapledon, "Star Maker"
* "Star Maker"*
By Olaf Stapledon
"Stapledon undertakes the immense task of describing the entire history of
life in the universe. It dwarfs in scale even his 1930 book "Last and First
Men," which is a history of the human species over two billion years. It
tackles philosophical themes such as the essence of life, of birth, decay
and death, and the relationship between creation and creator. The narrator
starts with a concern at the clash of ideas on Earth and finds analogies to
both communism and fascism among the aliens he visits. A pervading theme is
that of progressive unity ... more »
Carl Sagan, "Where We Make Our Stand"
*"Where We Make Our Stand"*
by Carl Sagan

“We wish to pursue the truth no matter where it leads. But to find the
truth, we need imagination and skepticism both. We will not be afraid to
speculate, but we will be careful to distinguish speculation from fact. The
cosmos is full beyond measure of elegant truths; of exquisite
interrelationships; of the awesome machinery of nature.
Once we overcome our fear of being tiny, we find ourselves on the
threshold of a vast and awesome Universe that utterly dwarfs — in time, in
space, and in potential — the tidy anthropocentric pr... more »
GOP brand in the dumper
You all know how I feel about polls but this new NBC News/Wall Street
Journal poll is so stunning it has even the tragically jaded journos
dragging their jaws across the floor.
By a 22-point margin (53 percent to 31 percent), the public blames the
Republican Party more for the shutdown than President Barack Obama – a
wider margin of blame for the GOP than the party received during the poll
during the last shutdown in 1995-96.
Just 24 percent of respondents have a favorable opinion about the GOP, and
only 21 percent have a favorable view of the Tea Party, which are both at
all-tim... more »

Below is an excerpt from, *"A Syrian Solution?"* by Philip Giraldi,
AntiWar.com, October 10, 2013:
"For those who argue that a negotiated settlement can’t happen in Syria
because too much blood has been shed one need only point to the examples of
similar conflicts in Africa and Asia over the past fifty years. They too
seemed intractable and some of them have continued to fester but, by
pushing the right buttons and enabling the right compromises, most of them
have been resolved or ... more »

I think I can assure the kidz here that both the sequester and the
government shutdown are having serious material effects on the lives of
millions of people all around the country, regardless of what the polls say
about their exhaustion with the rhetoric coming out of Washington. That
they do not connect that rhetoric with the hardship in their own lives is a
profound failure of journalism of which TBOTP is a per... more »

While eyes in the US have remained focused on the budget cliffhanger in
Washington, in Bali, two sets of meetings were taking place. The first was

John Kerry (Obama was supposed to make an appearance but the budget drama
kept him away) met with representatives of the 12 nations it is pressing to

you and I together, We can venture beyond mooring places. We venture
beyond. That is what We do. We venture beyond ordinary limits. Sometimes it
is like someone has painted limits beyond which you are not to step. How
arbitrary are these painted lines. They do not really exist, yet you think
they exist. You think they are giant fences without gates when they are

Astronomy: "'Trillions Of Earths' Could Be Orbiting 300 Sextillion Stars"

*"'Trillions Of Earths' Could Be Orbiting 300 Sextillion Stars"*
by Mark Memmott
"There's that there may be three times more stars in the universe than was
previously thought- and many, many planets that could support life. If
they're right, it means there could be as many as 300 sextillion (a number
we weren't familiar with, to be honest) stars. Want to write that down?
It's a 3 followed by 23 zeroes. Like this:
300,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.
The research, led by Yale astronomer Pieter van Dokkum, is being further
analyzed. In an interview von Dokkum said the findings a... more »

Someone banged on a door from within—from within the padded chamber to
which we assign our readers of Gail Collins columns.
“The horror, the horror,” we heard a voice cry. That’s when we knew it:
Collins must be discussing the debt limit crisis.
Even we couldn’t begin to imagine the *way* Collins chose to discuss it.
After we opened the door and a young analyst wildly rushed past, we
discovered what he had been reading.

*“A Corrupt System that Rewards Stupidity”*
by Marc Faber
“For the greater part of human history, leaders who were in a position to
exercise power were accountable for their actions. If they waged wars or
had to defend their territories from invading hostile forces, they
frequently lost their lives, territories, armies, power and crowns. I don’t
deny that some leaders were irresponsible, but in general, they were fully
aware that they were responsible for their acts and, therefore, they acted
responsibly.
The problem we are faced with today is that our political and (frequent... more »
