Northerntruthseeker Rant For Sunday, December 8th, 2013
It is indeed Sunday again, and I am just sitting down to do my usual
rant... Also trying to stay warm on this extremely cold morning in central
Canada..
Gosh, darn this Global Warming... What we are experiencing right now in
both the Canadian and the American west with these unusual extremely cold
conditions should put that scam completely out of its misery once and for
all time... Right here we are seeing the COLDEST beginning to December
since they actually started recording temperatures and conditions here back
in the late 19th century. Temperatures here have dipped overnight t... more »
“Obviously this don’t go anywhere fellas, I’ve just broken the Geneva Convention..."

the United Kingdom is a signatory of the Geneva Convention. The convention
states:

armed forces who have laid down their arms and those placed hors de combat
by sickness, wounds, detention, or any other cause, shall in all
circumstances be treated humanely, without any adverse distinction founded

The school of schools also hates creativity via @slate #highered #teacherprep
On inside the box thinking. This resonates perfectly with my experiences in

different, and that’s fine. The crux of this very short Slate piece is […]
Canadian Failure Makes You Sick?
Are you sickened by your fellow Canadians' failure to do anything about
stephen harper? What did you do to bring him down? What did you do to try
to get others to do something about him?
There needs to be something big, something huge, to change the present
arrangement of power between corporate capitalism and the earth. That's
what we should be focused on. But we're incapable.

Hugh Can Call Me Nelson
Naturally, this morning's *Broadcasting House *began with Nelson Mandela.

The BBC's highly opinionated Hugh Sykes had been dispatched (at license fee

Maybe Santa Clarita Republicans Need To Take A Good Look At What's Happening With Their Money In Washington-- A Ho Is A Ho Is A Ho
People in Santa Clarita are breathing a sigh of relief that after more than

to further disgrace himself as a lobbyist for the arms manufacturers and
military contractors who have funded his congressional career. Good
riddance! But if it were only that simple! McKeon was clearly afraid to run

Specific degree of culpability not shown by post offence conduct
R. v. Jaw 2009 SCC 42:
[39] In sum, Vertes J.'s reference to the appellant's
post-offence conduct in his charge to the jury is not an error capable of
affecting the legality of the verdict. In fact, both the Crown and the
trial judge could be said to have underestimated, to the appellant's
advantage, the significance of the appellant's actions following the

Do you remember when Greg Dyke resigned as Director General of the BBC and
huge throngs of BBC staff lined his way, cheering and clapping, such was
the affection they held him in and their sense of injustice that he'd been
forced out after the Hutton Inquiry...
Well, their former boss has got into a spot of bother in recent days,
having made a cut-throat gesture as the World Cup group draw was being

Nelson and Margaret
This morning's *Sunday *on Radio 4 did seem like a Nelson Mandela special,
but first impressions (and, perhaps, my own biases) misled me into thinking
there was more of it than there actually was.
Counting up all the time devoted to Nelson Mandela revealed that *Sunday *devoted
just over 38% of the programme this morning to his memory.
I wondered how that compared to their coverage of Margaret Thatcher's death
back in April.
Well, doing the sums on that edition of the programme revealed that they
devoted 34.5% of that edition to her memory.
Which isn't radically different.

While several private American companies are planning robotic missions to

The country’s recent manned missions and efforts to build a new space base
suggest a future manned mission to the moon, though why is an open
question. Speculation has run from the desire to build a military missile
base -- a Death Star of sorts -- to national pride to simple economics.
The answer may be far simpler: The moon is “easy” to get to.

the shelves, when new books are coming out all the time? Where do all the
books go? How can it all fit?
The answer: it doesn't. Space is finite, and the number of books in any
collection, although also finite, is always expanding. That contradiction
is resolv... more »
An investigative documentary into the Common Core State Standards Initiative
*BUILDING THE MACHINE (2014) - Official Trailer [HQ]*
I want to use the same disclaimer here that I did the last time I posted
Common Core State Standards (CSSS) related materials from sources that I
disavow any connection with. The video is produced by, and also features,
individuals that are from fringe-right-wing groups. The last time I
published a disclaimer like this, I was subjected to a firestorm of
criticism from the right. That's fine, we will never be allies in any sense
other than shared opposition to the vile corporate CCSS curriculum being
foisted on students. That s... more »
Repost of Bang Bang Club from August 2012
The Bang Bang Club was a 2010 joint Canadian South African production. If
you never heard of it join the club, it was released in the US (2011) and
made a staggering $124,000 before the plug was pulled. Perhaps the key
reason it was not a big success is that it was extremely politically
incorrect. Is there a more saintly figure in the world than Nelson Mandela?
Well Bang Bang pukes all over his carefully constructed story. It was an
excellent movie more documentary than drama. Two of the real life
photographers upon whom the movie is based won Pulitzer prizes, and two of
them di... more »
RIP Nelson Mandela
I am going to write more, a great man, a man that gave South Africa a
fighting chance in the toughest ring in the solar system, but as usual we
are getting a very distorted picture of what actually happened. The fact
the no one can explain what actually happened is a flashing red light to
think aboot.

Thoughts much like mine. Yes he was a black Francis Underwood.

What Mattered This Week?
I'm really not sure this week. There's the apparently promising budget
talks, but what's really going to matter is whether the radicals can once
again intimidate mainstream conservatives; I don't think we know that yet.
There's the presidents speech on the economy and inequality...that's
certainly not apt to have any direct immediate effects, but it surely might
signal the future direction of the Democrats. Even on health care, it's not
really clear how and whether successful and unsuccessful fixes on
Healthcare.gov will matter.
So I'm just going to leave it all to you. What do you ... more »
KOREAN CATHOLICS TAKE ON FASCIST PARK GOVERNMENT
On December 4 the Catholic Priests’ Association for Justice officially
states, ‘Out, Park Geun-Hye.’
Their statement reads:
*Whenever resisting to power, the history has demanded heavy price to the
churches. The history of martyr tainted with blood plainly proves. However,
Resistance is the pulse of faith. The Catholic Priests’ Association for
Justice, respecting the Jeonjoo Diocese that has denounced on unjust
Election and claimed on the resignation of President states [on Nov. 22]:
Even though inquiring on the responsibility of unjust election would bring

Re-trending
As Sue alluded to in the previous post, poor Rod Liddle has felt the heat
from an 'outraged' Twittersphere (and the *Daily Mail*) over his criticism
of the BBC's OTT coverage of the death of Nelson Mandela.
Rod wrote:
But for Christ’s sake BBC, give it a bloody break for five minutes, will
you? It’s as if the poor bugger now has to bear your entire
self-flagellating white post-colonial *bien pensant* guilt; look! Famous
nice black man dies! Let’s re-run the entire history of South Africa.
That’s better than watching the country we’re in being flattened by a storm.

Behind the scenes of the Autumn/Winter 2013 Agent Provocateur video that I posted yesterday (NSFW) - A Rule 5 post
Behind the scenes on the making of my Christmas present concept...
Which ConservaDem will represent Obama’s birthplace? And does it even matter?
Is Hawaii about to elect a conservative anti-gay crusader disguised as a
Democrat to Congress?
President Obama won Hawai`i’s 1st Congressional District-- the urban
Honolulu district where he was born, went to high school and partied to the
tunes of both Stevie Nicks and Stevie Wonder-- last year with 70 percent of
the vote.
This is a solid-blue district. Over the last couple of decades, the only
time a Republican represented the district (briefly) was when there was a
special election, and two Democrats split the vote in a winner-take-all
format.
There are no prominent Republicans ... more »

Will freedom of expression come to Canada?
OCLA's
principled letter to the AG of Ontario...
By Denis G. Rancourt
Political agents across the left-right spectrum in the USA, including
left public intellectual Noam Chomsky, positively advance the USA as
being the modern society with the greatest protections for free speech.
In the USA, expression of opinion is absolutely protected, as is all
expression except in limited areas (LINK):
Delbert Newhouse and the Utah Movie
There are two things that have happened recently that impact this blog.
First is a statement, again, by someone who should actually know better,
that there is no evidence that UFOs are alien craft. He asks, demands
really, just one example of a solid case for the UFO. Ignoring the fact
that the debunkers have worked wonders in marginalizing UFO reports by
throwing all sorts of ridiculous explanations for the sightings out there,
some of which are contradictory, there are some very good cases that have
multiple chains of evidence and some very good research attached to them.
