Deep State-- Was The Overthrow Of President Morsi A Set-up?
No one knows if President Morsi is dead or alive. His family hasn't heard from him since he was arrested by the military in the coup. There have been rumors that he will be tried on various charges but he hasn't been charged with anything yet and the fascist dictatorship claims its holding him for "his own protection"-- if he's alive. As soon as I heard the Egyptian military was likely to take the side of the anti-Morsi protesters, I sensed a set-up. And sure enough, the day after the coup, the impossible long lines at Cairo gas stations that were driving people insane just disap... more »
Lamar W. Hankins : Callous Republicans Emulate Scrooge Regarding Helping the Needy

GUAM: LITTLE SAY IN THEIR FUTURE
With Washington refocusing its forces to the Asia-Pacific region, the US Naval Base on the small island of Guam is preparing for the arrival of 5,000 more troops and their dependents. The goal is to turn Guam, an unincorporated territory of the US in the western Pacific Ocean, into a regional security hub by integrating the US Air Force and Navy. The move is seen as a bid to counter what are perceived by the US and its allies as challenges to the freedom and security of the region. However, many of the locals feel there are other ways their island can prosper, and that growth sho... more »
TRADES COUNCIL MOTION
This motion passed this morning: The Victorian Trades Hall Executive is concerned with the recently announced expansion of US military bases and stationing of US Marines in Darwin in Australia and Asia-Pacific. We are concerned that Australia's foreign policies, the armed forces and military infrastructure, are being deeply integrated into the US global military operations. We are concerned that Pine Gap [US NSA listening post in Australia) and other joint US bases in Australia are being used in extensive electronic surveillance and gathering of information on people and other co... more »

APPEARING IN HISTORIC TRADES HALL
Last night Victoria and I spoke to more than 50 folks (a very diverse group) at the historic Trades Hall in Melbourne.

I was here 10 years ago when the Global Network held our annual space organizing conference in this magnificent building. Our talk was expertly facilitated by Richard Tanter from The Nautilus Institute for Security and Sustainability.

Its most profound threat to the global ecology—a spent fuel fire—is still very much with us. The latest steam leak has raised fears around the planet.

Republicans Remind Their Members That It's Fake Town Hall Time
Do you ever go to congressional town halls? I actually do. 3 summers ago I reported on one I went to in Alhambra, which turned into one of the first of the crazy Tea Party anti-healthcare set-ups. It was Adam Schiff's town hall and the local crackpot right was determined to disrupt it. They dominated the scene for a couple of hours before it started-- when no one was there but me and them. But once it started, they pretty much got swallowed up by actual constituents who had real questions. Most people who even noticed their theatrics just found them amusing, rude and silly.

Beware the Mouthy Minority
This poll released today has USian fetus fetishists *stoked*. While a majority -- 55% -- still think that abortion should be legal in all or most cases, that number is shrinking, down from 60% in 1995. But what has the zygote zealots really revved is the answer to the time-limit question. As more and more states ban abortion past 20 weeks, the poll asks whether people support such a limit as opposed to the current 24 weeks. A majority -- 56% -- prefer the lower limit. OK. That is the Excited States where they are simply insane on the subject. In Canada 94% of us think abortion shou... more »

As I sit down to write these words, I cannot but feel that they are words which will cause offence to just about everybody reading them. For those who see in the Jewish nation, the literal sons and daughters of Satan, any praise of these people is automatically seized upon as proof that the speaker/writer has 'sold out' to the enemy and become a Zionist agent. For those who believe the 'Chosen people' drivel, any condemnation of the actions of Organised Jewry is likewise automatically regarded as heresy; as doing the work of the devil.

Rotterdam, Netherlands Bans Monsanto’s RoundUp as Part of New Green Initiative
Rotterdam Bans Monsanto’s RoundUp as Part of New Green Initiative (Rotterdam, NL) Just a short while ago, on June 27th, the Rotterdam city council voted to ban Monsanto’s controversial Roundup herbicide. The initiative was begun largely thanks to a citizen run petition campaign appropriately named, “Non-toxic Sidewalks for Our Children”, along with a lot of support from the Green Party to get it passed. While glyphosate (RoundUp’s “active” ingredient) has long been believed to be quite non-toxic, recent studies have shown that to be very much untrue. The herbicide, currently t... more »

Iraq Sees Continued Problems With Its Oil Export Facilities In June 2013
Iraq’s oil exports and profits were down for the third straight month in June 2013. Bad weather led to a small drop in the south. More importantly, the northern pipeline to Turkey was down due to repairs for almost the entire month. That points to a larger problem that the country’s oil facilities have reached their limit as seen over the last 16 months, and there can be no more growth in exports until new infrastructure is added. The petroleum industry faced several problems last month. Total exports dropped from 78.7 million barrels in April to 76.9 million in May to 69.8 milli... more »

Cruz/McGovern
I'm very late at getting to this, but the great Steve M. took on my weekend column on Ted Cruz, and I did want to respond to part of it. Not the part where Steve argues that I'm wrong about the possibility of a Cruz move to the center in the event he was to win the nomination. I'll stand by what I said, but there's no way to know, and he may certainly be correct. We're in the realm of speculation in choosing between "Cruz is what he is, and would only be more so after a successful nomination campaign" compared with "Cruz would be more able to move to the center than Romney/McCain ty... more »
More Prisons, More Prisons, Must Build More Prisons
Stephen Harper's faith-based crime wave took another hammering from the latest report showing that crime rates in Canada continue on their steady decline, reaching the lowest levels since the early 70s. That's "faith based" in that he chooses to follow his beliefs even while flatly ignoring four decades of statistical reality. But what about, oh I don't know, *MURDER?* Sorry, Steve, that's down too - to the lowest level since 1972. It would be nice if Steve could find a less expensive fetish than prison construction to indulge. Maybe he could take up cross-dressing or golf.

After the cabinet shuffle last week, commentators began to speculate about whether Stephen Harper was opening the door for his successor. The truth is, no one knows what Harper is planning.

And, therefore, Devon Black writes, it's fair to ask: What legacy will Stephen Harper leave after he goes?

If we can somehow ensure Baby George's first-born is a boy and is named Henry then he will be Henry IX. III, IV, VII, IX = 3, 5, 7, 9 Could that be more mathematically pleasing? Yes I am a little odd, as are the above numbers. The sequence will end at 9 as Henry and Edward are the only Kings of the United Kingdom to reach eight so far.
Royal Bank and iGATE : "Business as usual"

LHCb: \(3\)- or \(4\)-\(\sigma\) excess of \(B\)-mesons' muon decays
*New physics may already be looking at us* Tommaso Dorigo has discussed something that may be interesting – a hint of new physics coming from the LHCb experiment: A Four-Sigma Evidence Of New Physics In Rare B Decays Found By LHCb, And Its Interpretation The deviation will be described in the LHCb-PAPER-2013-037 paper, now in preparation. Locally, it is a \(3.7\)-\(4.0\sigma\) effect which is reduced to \(2.5\)-\(2.8\sigma\) once you take the 24 bins into account (look-elsewhere effect). See page 13 of Nicola Serra's presentation in Stockholm. We just described how strong the evid... more »

"FOR THE GOOD OF MANKIND"
Kathy Jetnil-Kijiner is a poet from Marshall Islands in the Pacific. Kathy writes, "During the period from June 30, 1946, to August 18, 1958, the United States conducted 67 nuclear tests in the Marshall Islands, all of which were considered atmospheric. The most powerful of those tests was the 'Bravo' shot, a 15 megaton device detonated on March 1, 1954, at Bikini atoll. The US continues to deny responsibility while many more Marshallese continue to die due to cancer and other radiation related illnesses."
Funding War And Domestic Spying
This week I literally marveled at how deftly Alan Grayson was able to use congressional procedures beyond the ken of garden variety congressmembers to get five amendments to the defense-spending bill passed without controversy particularly one prohibiting torture. “This amendment," explained Grayson to any Members who might not be paying attention, "makes the intent of Congress clear; it makes the law clear: We. Don’t. Torture. The United States military is prohibited from torturing any human being, at home or abroad.” Another very important amendment he got through is being refer... more »
Guest Post - Smart Tips for Eco-friendly Shipping Packaging
[image: Eco Shipping] Shipping is a common part of modern life as we require and desire goods from around the world. Business capitalise on this with many seeking items from all over the globe to offer consumers the widest range of goods in one location. It is not only products we ship, we ship ourselves with more of us relocating to different parts of the world. Including many students who ship their worldly goods half way across the world to their new universities, however, is there any thought behind the materials and suppliers used?

Rabies Redux
*Rolling past an earth god temple in Sanzhi township.* One of the great pleasures of living in Taiwan is the lack of rabies among the stray animals. It means that you can interact with them without worry of a bad death. It looks like that may be coming to an end... first, the WSJ: But this week the Council of Agriculture confirmed that the lethal disease has made a comeback on the island after three dead wild Formosa ferret-badgers found in the mountains of Yunlin and Nantou counties tested positive for the disease.

Inevitable Inflation?
*Guest post by Ed Bugos* In an article I first saw on June 28th, Martin Feldstein asserts that quantitative easing is NOT money printing, and suggests that is the main reason we have not seen any price inflation. [image: _Quote5]The link between Fed bond purchases and the subsequent growth of the money stock changed after 2008, because the Fed began to pay interest on excess reserves [which] induced the banks to maintain excess reserves at the Fed instead of lending and creating deposits to absorb the increased reserves, as they would have done before 2008. As a result, the volum... more »

What, Setting Aside Money for A Rainy Day? This Is Harperland After All!
One of the first thing Sideshow Steve Harper did upon seizing the reins of power was to powerfully defund the federal government. Clinging to the neo-con ideology that taxation is theft and that government surpluses are the fruits of that crime, Harper slashed the GST by two points... and a few years later with the onset of the 2008 Great Recession the walls came tumblin' down. With the treasury bare, Harper had to go to the markets to borrow money for his half-assed stimulus budget. Now the folks who run Calgary are having to rethink this rancid rightwing tax phobia. They're... more »
