Cover of CherONE 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. *Ian Macwhirter, who has questioned the official version of 9 11.* On 5 September 2013, journalist *Iain Macwhirter* wrote in the Glasgow Herald that the... more »
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.

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 »

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. 3) The United States or Israel, aiming to expand strife in Egypt and weaken the will and response of Egyptian security services to acts of terrorism... more »
Republicans Can't Fire Boehner-- He's Quitting

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.

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. T... more »

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 lost his sea...more »

The Onion reports 'MOSCOW—Despite Syrian president Bashar al-Assad’s flat-out admission to the Russian leader that he was responsible for an August 21 chemical weapons attack on a suburban Damascus neighborhood, Russian president Vladimir Putin confirmed Wednesday that al-Assad has yet to provide a convincing case that he carried out the assault. “Given the information I’ve seen at this point, President Assad failed to show me clear, substantiated evidence that he used chemical weapons against the Syrian people, regardless of how many times he says ‘I, Bashar al-Assad, President of...more »

Sadrists-League of the Righteous Clash In Iraq During The Summer
While Moqtada al-Sadr is gloating over his showing in Iraq’s 2013 provincial elections, and picking up his attacks upon Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki he has another issue to deal with. That is the Sadrist breakaway group the League of the Righteous led by Qais Khazali, who was one of the followers of Sadr’s father Ayatollah Mohammed Sadiq al-Sadr. Both claim to be maintaining the legacy of the elder Sadr. That has often led to clashes between the two, which picked up in recent months. This dispute plays into the larger struggle over who will be the leader of Iraq’s Shiite communit... more »
The People Strike Back Against the Empire
About the only people left in America supporting a war against Syria are the Obama administration, its friends in the Congressional leadership, its friends in the corporate media, and an ever-dwindling number of diehard partisan Obama Personality Cultists. Oh, and rich people. Meaning, the war will probably commence once the pretend-democracy debates are finished, and regular people can safely be ignored once again, and your feckless reps can whine that you shouldn't let the perfect peace be the enemy of the military good. And anyway, what about the dead children whom they will make...more »

Purple Haze
By Capt. Fogg I like to read books by theoretical physicists who are good at presenting mind-bending material to the general public. I should say that I like reading about these things in English because I can't, quite frankly, even imagine being able to follow the math involved in portraying multidimensional universes, Calabi-Yau manifolds, P-branes and loop quantum physics, just to scratch the surface.

Can Alan Grayson and Justin Amash Save America From Another Pointless War?

Not likely, not even with Daddy Warbucks dangling big cash under their snouts.

Hope Where Power Is Divorced From Politics
Henry Giroux is one of neo-liberalism's fiercest critics. From McMaster University, he now writes about his native land with incandescent passion. In the United States, Giroux opines, power has become divorced from politics. And the American experience is spreading around the world: As power is separated from politics, it becomes more reckless, arrogant and death-dealing. No longer viewed as accountable, casino capitalism and its minions turn savage in their pursuit of wealth and the accumulation.

A universal derivation of Bekenstein-Hawking entropy from topology change, ER-EPR
I have been intrigued by topology change in quantum gravity, especially its Euclidean version, for 15 years or so.

An American Attack Against Syria: Some General Thoughts
The debate about going to war against Syria in the United States Congress and press almost entirely leaves out the fact that Assad's regime is fully capable of defending itself and responding to an illegal U.S. strike.

In Syria, Washington is not going to war against al-Qaeda, some mythical force out of a fairytale, or a weird dictator who wields iron power over a collection of tribes as in the case of Libya, but a real country with a very long and proud histo... more »

We need to be white, we need to be brown, we need to be black, we need to be with tattoos, without tattoos, with ponytails, without ponytails, with beards, without." I wish we had a photo of him with a ponytail but, for now, the above picture of his tatts will have to suffice. There are 5 candidates vying for Ed Markey's old House seat, MA-05.
