Yo-yo banned in Syria
*Blamed for drought by Muslims*
BEIRUT (Syria), [date]. Drought and severe cold is disastrously affecting
the cattle in Syria, and the Muslim chiefs at Damascus have attributed the
wrath of the heavens to the recent introduction of the yo-yo.
They say that while the people are praying for rain to come down from above
the yo-yo goes down, and before reaching the ground springs up through the
subtle pull of the string.
The chiefs interviewed the Prime Minister, and exposed the evil influence
of yo-yos, so they were immediately banned.

OBAMA ESCALATES PLANNING FOR ATTACK
It's another version of "shock and awe"..... if Obama strikes Syria it will
be to take out their airfields, missile sites, command and control centers,
troop compounds and more. The civilian casualties will be high.
Obama wants to decimate the Syrian military in order to allow the Al-Qaida
led "rebels" a clear path to victory. Make no mistake, if Obama launches
this attack it will not be a "limited strike" - it will be an all out blast
of US military firepower.
These Navy destroyers outlined in this video are built here in Bath, Maine.
Oddities , news tidbits , barely reported news of the day .... Obama without his teleprompter - what could go wrong ? Someone set off a chemical weapon false flag prematurely in Syria ? Memo to John Kerry , this is how they fake attacks and gin up You Tubes of phantom menaces ! McCain gets an earful at a town hall meeting - just look at his face !

In a surprise to many people, Obama decided to go to Congress to try and get approval under our U.S. Constitution (which the Constitution requires) to attack Syria. But such an attack also requires approval by the UN Security Council (a Charter the U.S. has agreed to and signed). And under the UN Charter, there's only two ways to use force against another country. One is in self-defense. The other is go to the UN Security Council and get a majority of nine to agree to the use of force. If you don't get it, it's an illegal war. It's a war crime. It would be considered a crime of aggression. It's the kind of crime that the Germans were tried for at Nuremberg. Obama knows that, but he is still intent on striking Syria even without UN permission. This would make him and other members of his cabinet War Criminals!

Last Year's Wild Weather Tied to Climate Change. Well, Duh!
Another day, another study. A Stanford University study has found that
last year's wild weather, including the heat wave and drought that swept
most of the U.S., is now more likely to recur due to global warming, or
climate change, or that hoax by all those scientist guys, whatever.
*Brace yourself for more hot summers ahead. Extreme weather researchers
report on Thursday that climate change makes the searing summer that the
struck the United States last year much more likely.*

‘The murmuring of bees has ceased…’
Well, the murmuring of bees here in Kerry hasn't ceased, not quite yet-
the hedgerows are still in bloom, the blossoms full of nectar– but I
couldn't shake the line from my head.
‘The murmuring of bees has ceased…’
Six words. Six perfect words. They glide like honey off the tongue.

Syria And Big Lies That Change History
*The World: Mr. President, when it comes to Syria, lying is not the issue.
The problem is that your administration does not lie well. Photo Source:

"We have from a reader back East a clipping from an English
newspaper—probably an edition of the *Manchester Guardian*—providing an
extract from a talk given by an eminent American editor of a well-known

what he called the "little lies" which seem to be a ... more »
ONE HONEST JOURNALIST
The trouble is that we have all been invaded, by lies.
Which economy is doing *worst* in terms of GDP growth?
It's David Cameron'S UK.
What has happened to wages in the UK?
Most people have got poorer.
Why do 36% of the UK public think that their Conservative government can be
trusted to handle the economy?
They have been brainwashed by the crooked media, which currently supports
David Cameron, Britain's top war monger.

Pork Barrel 7: Presentation at Adamson University
This afternoon, I spoke at Adamson University on a big college conference,
held at the university's theater, probably about 200-300 students in the
audience. I am thankful to Ms. Pauline Brillantes, a young faculty member
at the Department of Social Sciences, for inviting me to their big college
event.
Since the audience are university students, I could introduce some basic
conceptual framework and they would be able to follow. My presentation was
21 slides long, showing 16 of them here. The full presentation is at

Obama & Wasserman-Schultz Support Chemical Weapons Against Americans
We all have heard how War Hawk Obama wants to hire out our military to Al
Qaeda because he just cannot allow atrocities in Syria between Muslims to
go on without US intervention. The sudden change of morality for Obama and
his Democrat pawns begs for examination. Obama certainly has no problem
with the chemical weapons used in America every day. High concentrations
of saline solution are used to burn the skin off of babies in the womb of
Americans with his full approbation. Obama renews the death warrants of
innocent babies on a daily basis. Let us scrutinize the dichotomy of ... more »

Courtesy of Joseph Mitchell: These two nuns might strike you as ideal role models for the Catholic Church, but you'd probably be wrong
*by Ken*
For reasons that might be worth talking about some other time, I've started
reading stuff by the legendary *New Yorker* reporter Joseph Mitchell
(1908-1996), and in a 1940 nonfiction piece called "Mazie," I came across a
moment that hit me so hard, and so purely and simply, that I had to share
it.
By way of background, Mitchell loved the gritty side of New York City,
whose often sorely pressed denizens he felt singularly at home with.
"Mazie" is Mazie Gordon, a woman then in her mid-40s and a legend of sorts
in her part of town, which was -- more or less -- the Bowery, t... more »
Don't want to go to war no more
I haven't talked about Syria because there's already enough chatter out
there but for the record, this is one fight I hope Obama loses. I believe
Assad used chemical weapons. Yes it's appalling but I don't want to bomb
Syria. I fail to see how that solves anything. The end result is more dead
people. So what's the point?
Mathematical Proof That Cooperative, Forgiving and Generous Populations Succeed In The Long-Term While Selfish Ones Fail
*Thanks to R. for this article!*
This is fascinating information that explains several things happening
today societally, on a more global scale.
The only long term societal structures that can succeed are Generous
ones. Mathematically, and I would postulate psychologically, this means
cooperation and reciprocity are more powerful than extortion, over time, in
large populations. This is how nature succeeds as well!
If our nature is to be generous to succeed, as a universal truism it
should be provable in all ways, including mathematically. Apparently this
is the cas... more »
Back To My Roots: Great Video By Pt1gard - Dave McGowan With Jim Fetzer Blow The Apollo Moon Landing Fraud To Hell!

to myself, someone who has always been a critical thinker, and a person

Terrorism Against Egypt Enters New Level; Interior Minister Targeted With Bomb But Survives
Four possible culprits of the attempted assassination of Egyptian interior
minister Mohamed Ibrahim:
1) The Egyptian government itself, which is seeking to extend the state of
emergency in the country as well as a military curfew.
2) The Muslim Brotherhood, in an act of revenge against interior minister
Mohamed Ibrahim, who has carried out a policy of repression against violent
Islamists after the popular-nationalist coup against Morsi.

Republicans Can't Fire Boehner-- He's Quitting
A few days ago we reported that Pelosi admitted she doesn't want to be
Speaker again. She's tried to put the toothpaste back in the tube but...
well, that never works. But you know who else doesn't want the job? Boehner's
done. There's an argument to be made that Pelosi was one of the most
effective Speakers in modern times-- and an argument that Boehner was the
least effective. He hasn't made any announcements yet but Ryan Grimm had

Former aides to John Boehner and other high-level GOP operatives are

Pope Francis Instructs G20 Leaders To "Lay Aside The Futile Pursuit of A Military Solution" In Syria
Below is an excerpt from, *"Letter of Pope Francis to Vladimir Putin
dealing with Syria"*:
The meeting of the Heads of State and Government of the twenty most
powerful economies, with two-thirds of the world’s population and ninety
per cent of global GDP, does not have international security as its
principal purpose. *Nevertheless, the meeting will surely not forget the
situation in the Middle East and particularly in Syria. It is regrettable
that, from the very beginning of the conflict in Syria, one-sided interests
have prevailed and in fact hindered the search for a solution t... more »

They’re very much like Dr. King!

The GOP's greatest nightmare
Obamacare is lowering costs for health insurance much more than initially
expected.
The most comprehensive study on Obamacare to date finds that Americans’
insurance premiums under the health law will be “lower than expected.” Many
Americans will pay even less than the top-line rates after factoring in
government subsidies for their health coverage, with some paying nothing at
all for crucial medical coverage.
And, it offers actual health care coverage unlike the sort of low cost
private insurance with caps on coverage so low it wouldn't cover the cost
of treating a hang nail.

Can An Actual PROGRESSIVE Democrat, Rather Than A Republican-Lite Conservative-- Win New Mexico's Only Red District?
Last month we looked at how an unabashedly right-wing, anti-immigration
Republican can win in a swing district with a pretty heavy Hispanic
population. We're talking about New Mexico's gigantic 2nd district and
multimillionaire extremist Stevan Pearce. The last Democrat who Pearce
defeated, a one-term incumbent, was nearly as conservative as Pearce. There
weren't many reasons for casual Democratic voters or leaning-Dem
independents to bother coming out to vote for him-- and they didn't. He was
a crap congressman who voted with the GOP on too many crucial issues. So he
