BBC News: The Box (Photo credit: Wikipedia)Salon’s latest way to hate en masse!
*SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 2013*
*Young analyst tackles the boomers:* In highly tribalized times, hating en
masse can be quite au courant. Examples:
You might hate everyone who votes the wrong way. Plainly, they’re all
racists.
You might hate everyone from some city. Dallas, the city of hate!
Sweeping over-generalization is the gateway to this pleasing act. And as
Salon helped show us this weekend, you can hate whole generations too! You
don’t even have to know what you’re talking about!
Last Friday, Daniel D’Addario decided to tackle the always unpleasant
boomers. We refer to his stir... more »

BBC News = the Scottish police service
Here's an intriguing stat, figured out (from FoI responses) by Bill Rogers
at *Trading as WDR.*
The BBC says it employs 19,649 staff on permanent or fixed-term contracts,
with 38% employed in the corporation's news division.
Get your calculator out and that works out as 7,466.22 people working in
BBC News. [That .22 guy (or gal) must have been taken on to meet the BBC's
equality and diversity targets.]
The intriguing bit comes when you compare that figure, as Bill does, to
similar figures in other contexts:
The police service in Scotland has a staff of 7,500, as does the London

Teacher Quartering: Four Reasons Why Teachers Avoid, or Leave, High Poverty Urban Public Schools
Introduction Teaching within a high poverty urban public school is

experts claim that high poverty urban schools don’t have enough effective

Ten Reasons the United States Government Must Be Abolished
[image: Related Posts Plugin for WordPress, Blogger...]
When freedom answers despotism...
*"Abolish the United States government? Are you insane?!"*
Not at all. Our government was originally created from the necessity of
abolishing government. This was spelled out clearly and concisely in the
Declaration of Independence, whose date -- July 4, 1776 -- is still
celebrated every July 4th. If you are not familiar with this most vital
document, if you have never read the words and fully understood them, I
suggest you do so now. I have quoted from the beginning of the Declara... more »

Alvin Weinberg: Integrity and Vision
*This is a repost of another early Nuclear Green post. It actually
predates Nuclear Green, and was in fact written shortly after Weinberg's
death. Unlike Ralph Nader who was not a giant of integrity, Weinberg
revealed great integrity. Weinberg was fired as Director of ORNL because
he stood up to the Washington AEC establishment over nuclear safety.
Weinberg had the backing of most of the nuclear scientists at National

was able to save enough pennies on his own in the early 1970's, that he
could afford to purchase a $100,000 home in an exclusive Washington

they lose their jobs.”

Bit late to this but can't stop thinking about it. Of all the iconic images
of the dreadful day of Jack Kennedy's assassination, this is one that burns
the most vividly in my memory. I saw this unfold live on the television as
an 11 year old who loved my President and the First Family and was
struggling to make sense of this shocking event.

doTerra On Guard Beadlets Giveaway
This giveaway is sponsored by My Natural Family. All opinions are my 100%
own.
I can't ignore it any longer. Winter is coming and with the changing
weather comes sickness. There is never a good time to be sick, it tends to
just seize you and force you to stay home. My husband's days off are pretty
much all accounted for next little while with family plans and a new baby
coming, so he really can't get sick this winter. We all have plans we don't
want to miss, so doTerra has released On Guard Beadlets. We absolutely LOVE
these in our house. They make it really easy to use doTerra ... more »
What Mattered This Week?
Not the only thing that mattered, but I'll go with the obvious one: the
Senate going nuclear is a very big deal.
What didn't matter? I'll stick with filibusters, and agree with Adam Ramey
that if the legislative filibuster goes, it's not going to matter much...as
long as there's divided government. Although even then, "less than you
think" could still be a big deal, so I suppose this isn't a very good
"didn't matter." Sorry; I've been so focused on the nuclear business that I
hardly know what else happened this week, and all the things I can think of
actually did matter.
But maybe ... more »
Wintering in
Baby, it's cold outside. 19F yesterday morning, 22 this morning.
The vines from missed potatoes that sprouted this fall have flopped over
and are turning to slime. The calendulas finally bit the dust. Squirrels,
who have madly squirreled away what looked like record numbers of acorns
this year (it's what is called a "mast" year) have gone suddenly quiet. The
chard is holding up so far, but is the likeliest of the greens to give up
of what we have out there. Kale, collards, cabbages, beets, mangels,
radish, turnips, Brussels sprouts and even onions are looking good. I
picked a few ... more »
Photos from JFK 50th anniversary conference - Santa Barbara, CA
To his credit, Dr. Fetzer did mention Israel as being a sponsor of the
assassination, which really surprised me.

EX-BRITISH SOLDIERS ARRESTED IN INDIA
*The MV Seaman Guard Ohio, on which six British former soldiers were
arrested, on 12 October 2013.*
With elections coming up in India there is a risk that certain western
security services might stage a false flag terror attack in India.
The attackers who killed 166 people during the 2008 attacks on Mumbai
reportedly arrived by sea.
Six British former soldiers have been taken into custody in Chennai in
India.

what i'm watching: ken burns' "prohibition", an excellent documentary
This week we finished Ken Burns' excellent documentary "Prohibition," and I
recommend it highly to everyone who enjoys history. Most of us know at
least something about Prohibition, especially how it failed, but I'd bet
that much of this film will be eye-opening.
And, if you aren't a regular viewer of Ken Burns' documentaries, this
three-parter could serve as a wonderful introduction to his signature
style. It's on US Netflix, on PBS, and probably at your local library.
I did know that the early movement against alcohol was deeply rooted in the
early US women's movement. Women's ant... more »
Paul Craig Roberts: "China is going to let the dollar decline further in value." "This blow to the dollar in addition to the blows delivered by jobs offshoring and the uncovered bets in the gambling casino created by financial deregulation means that the US economy as we knew it is coming to an end." Translation: When the dollar ceases to be the world's reserve currency, your dollars may buy as little as half as much as they buy now.

Since 2006, the US dollar has experienced a one-quarter to one-third drop
in value to the Chinese yuan, depending on the choice of base.
Now China is going to let the dollar decline further in value. China also

CREATING THE CONVERSION PROCESS
Six folks turned up at various times yesterday during our 90 minute vigil
at Bath Iron Works. We were there when the afternoon shift knocked off and
the evening shift began so we saw lots of workers drive by.
Our message was primarily about building something different at the
shipyard. BIW has been there more than 100 years and the city's whole
identity is wrapped up in shipbuilding so its a hard sell. But what we
have heard from conversations with workers over the years is that as long
as they have a job they wouldn't mind building rail systems or wind
turbines.

U.S. Government And Their Mainstream Media Celebrate A Half Century Of LYING About The JFK Assassination
We are watching the U.S. government & mainstream media, one in the same,
celebrate 50 years - a half century - of lying to the public about the
assassination of JFK. It points out a multi-generational continuum of media
& government lies as most of the original liars are dead. This also points
to a controlled media spanning generations. It's also proof that both
parties work together to COVER-UP false flags and we have no democracy and
no choices in rigged elections.
First: Let me start off with this fact: 75% of Americans do NOT believe the
"official story" of the JFK assassinati... more »
Let me tell you a little something about me #edreform
Since 2009, in professional terms, I’ve suffered some fairly significant
losses. I pursued a PhD in 2005 and completed it in 2009, thinking that
higher education would lift me to some higher plane in terms of my
understanding and practice of my chosen discipline. Understanding it
brought me, indeed. And improvements to my practice, certainly, […]
