Developments in Japan are concerning:
First, according to The Asahi Shimbun, Japan’s Nuclear Regulatory Authority
(NRA) is trying to accelerate returning people to Fukushima prefecture by
measuring citizen exposure levels using individual dosimeters instead of
official air sampling. The Asahi notes dosimeters have much lower readings
than official air sampling and that the NRA’s draft policy has no
discussion of health impacts.
The proposed exposure level for returning evacuees is 20 millisieverts
based on dosimeter readings alone (no inclusion of estimates of exposure

Yesterday we lamented at the lack of accountability in high places for high
crimes. Grayson talked about how Wall Street is still ignoring the law
today because no one was punched for their criminal behavior leading up to

A disaster
The disaster in the Philippines seems impossible to put into perspective.
Thomas Lumley at Stats Chat tries:
There are reports that as many as 10,000 people may have died on the
Philippine island of Leyte on Friday, drowned in the storm surge or killed
by collapsing buildings.
Leyte is roughly comparable in size and population to the Auckland
Region (about 40% larger). Fewer than 8000 people died in Auckland in all
of 2012.
A disaster.

A new milestone in debt [updated]
The spin today is that the New Zealand government accounts are said to be
“in slightly better shape than forecast.”
And Bill English still promises a surplus in government accounts “next
year.” (There’s always jam tomorrow.)
But today, we see that his deficit for the last quarter was still a
whopping $1.3 billion. (In 2008 it was $31 million.)
And the money the govt owes, its total debt, has just hit $60 billion. (In
2008, when they took over, it was $10,2 billion.)
Which is about $60,000 for every tax-paying New Zealander. (Of which there
is barely a million.)

In his review of Paul Wells' book, *The Longer I'm Prime Minister*,
Crawford Killian writes that Stephen Harper has a history of political

One of Wells' key points is that Harper is the author of most of his own
misfortunes. He's the guy who ignored China until the Keystone XL pause

Popular Sovereignty ends in the US if the TPP is passed ? Why would a bipartisan thrust by the political class here in the US ( Including but not limited to - Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Max Baucus and Orrin Hatch, a bipartisan caucus, the Chamber of Commerce, and the Editorial Board of The New York Times ) , think that pursuing an Agreement that places transnational investors above citizens ( and popular sovereignty ) is a good deal for Citizens of the US ? While the elites and business interests are negotiating note much of Congress and State politicians are completely in the dark ! If nothing is afoot , why ultra secret treatment given to TPP , why are only business interests at the table , is this backdoor NWO Order - with global investors in charge ? ? Again the question to ask is why do certain political class leaders want this deal so badly ?

The TPP, if Passed, Spells the End of Popular Sovereignty for The United
States
By Lambert Strether of Corrente.
You’ve heard of popular sovereignty, right? It’s embodied in the Preamble
of the United States Constitution.[1] I’ll quote it for the sheer majesty
of the language, archaic though it may seem in these “innovative” days:
We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union,
establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common
defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty

Steny Hoyer Raising Money For The Democrats' Most Anti-Gay, Anti-Choice Candidate
It's not fair to just blame DCCC Chairman Steve Israel for Jennifer
Garrison. The "Sarah Palin of Ohio" is also being heavily backed by
Israel's patron, Steny Hoyer. Hoyer was in Columbus yesterday, headlining a
fundraiser for the anti-Choice, anti-gay, anti-labor conserva-Dem. Hoyer is
eager to ingratiate himself with perspective freshmen-- but not enough to
travel all the way to the low-end 6th district. The 126 miles,
two-and-a-half hour schlepp across Ohio on Route 70 and then all the way
down Route 77 nearly to Parkersburg, West Virginia isn't worthwhile for
someone like Hoye... more »

I'm confused, and this might possibly be one of the stupidest posts ever
posted on the internet (which is saying something), but...
According to the *Independent*, Typhoon Haiyan produced "gusts of up to 235
mph (378 kph)". Channel 4 News says "the storm sustained winds of 195 miles
per hour with gusts of up to 235 mph". BBC News talks of "gusts that
reached 379km/h (235 mph)". Reuters says "sustained winds reached 195 miles

Beware the hagiography in #edreform
As of late, it has been observed by me the profligate use of the first
person when referencing reform crusades on either side of the debate.
Beware of excessive uses of “I.” Beware of the innumerable anecdotes about
how much of a fighter you are, but then see very little in terms of actual,

UK spied on Iceland ( Iceland tipped of in 2010 ) officials' emails during UK efforts to recover cash from insolvent Iceland Banks during Icesave debacle ! This spying should remind folks of UK's use of anti-terrorism laws to seize Landsbanki's Icesave assets as the UK scrambled to protect UK depositors ....... UK spying on Iceland apparently coincided with concerns of Iceland that the US was spying on Iceland citizens in 2010 - of course , that was before the NSa revelations from Edward Snowden hit ! !

An expected Friday deal gave way to more Saturday talks, and reports that
the conference might continue into next week. It ended Saturday, however, without
a deal and with only a promise to meet again November 20 to try again.
While many saw a hostile US Congress as the biggest obstacle to reaching a
deal, it was France that ultimately stepped up and killed the proposal,

Political Loyalty
Ford Nation continues to love their boy. Of course, the same thing holds
true for the party faithful and stephen harper. But it ain't just a
conservative thing. Look at the supposedly progressive types who still
praise the record of the disgusting Dalton McGuinty! Or the pathetic
rationalizations of Obama supporters! (If you google "obamabots" you'll get
too many links from even more pathetic repugnicans who wanted to be part of
a human centipede with Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan to be able to find a sane
critique of Obama.)
I think the reasons for this loyalty above sanity or dece... more »
Crystal Night: 75th anniversary
About seven weeks ago, I wrote about the 75th anniversary of the Munich Pact.
Britain and France thought that it was a wonderful idea to appease the
Third Reich by throwing a third of their ally's territory to Hitler's
throat.
An event that occurred seven weeks later, the Night of Broken Glass
(November 9th-10th, 1938), adds some clarification concerning the character
of the new friend of Mr Chamberlain and M. Daladier.
Comrade Goebbels "overinterpreted" a murder of a young German diplomat
(Ernst von Rath) – allegedly by a Jewish teenager (German-born Polish Jew

Yeah, but what about Andrew Neil, Nick Robinson and Jeremy Clarkson?
It's Sunday, so there must be an article attacking the BBC in the *Sunday
Telegraph. *And so there is - though the paper's website isn't making too
much of it.
It's by former BBC reporter and ex-MP Sir Martin Bell.
Sir Martin believes it's the BBC's wastefulness with public money that's at
the root of the problem -most damagingly demonstrated by those excessive
payouts to top executives, but also revealed (he says) by such things as
the corporation's heavy spending on expensive buildings.
His answer? A dose of mild austerity at the BBC.
That's it really. No wonder the *Teleg... more »

Another Sunday… Another rant…..As I will be busy most of this Sunday
tending to family and personal business, I have done this rant a bit
earlier than usual….
Tomorrow is Remembrance Day here in Canada, and Veterans' Day in the United
States… It is a day to remember all those who have died for "freedom"… It
is not my want to harm the memories of those who fought gallantly and for
what they believed was right in wars.. But the facts are now crystal clear
that all wars in the last century have been fought for all the wrong
reasons, and for very criminal Jewish interests…. Only now wit... more »
Keith Ellison Bringing A Progressive Vision To… Oklahoma
Keith Ellison (D-MN) is widely viewed as an up-and-coming progressive
leader able to articulate progressive ideas and values to ordinary voters.
He may not be invited to many events sponsored by lobbyists on K Street or
Wall Street, but Democrats all over the country have been inviting him to
speak to local grassroots activists. Friday he was in Oklahoma City,
explaining a progressive vision in a state where President Obama only
received 33% of the vote last year and lost every single county. Obama did
best in Oklahoma City and that's where Ellison rallied local activists at

Time to take God out of the Interrogation Room
*R. v. Oickle*, 2000 SCC 38 holds that police may properly offer spiritual
inducements to suspects as part of interrogation. As a result it is common
for police to tell prisoners "the wages of sin is death" and to remind them
of the saving "blood of out Lord and Saviour Christ Jesus".
In *Oickle* the Supreme Court seems to have been motivated by the
supposition that a police officer cannot themselves offer an inducement of
a spiritual nature. But underlying that is the unspoken thesis that
religious exhortations are of limited meaning - something perhaps true for
a hardened crimina... more »
Update On Syria: Syrian National Coalition Admits It Is Powerless
An excerpt from, *"Syrian opposition split over peace conference"* by Fehim

Another SNC member, Kamal Lebvani, dismissed concerns of losing
international support should the SNC not go to Geneva, saying: "There is no
international support anyway; otherwise, we wouldn’t be in this situation.
It is meaningless to talk of losing international support.” *He then said
something that made all other debates irrelevant: "No matter what decision
comes out this meeting, it won’t be implemented because the real actors are
those fighters in Syria, not us. We hav... more »
