The Crisis In Ukraine
Like everyone else, I am truly alarmed by the ongoing crisis in Ukraine.... I know for a fact that the criminal Jewish Rothschild empire, also known as the "European Union" has been eying Ukraine for several decades now as another slave nation to be permanently enslaved by criminal Jewish banking usury... There is also the fact that Ukraine sits right on the border of Russia, and the criminal Jews have also been wanting to control both Ukraine's mineral wealth and the fact that the majority of oil and natural gas pipelines between Russia and European customers run right through Ukra... more »

The Blue Dogs Are Mining The Republican Wing Of The Democratic Party For The Worst Candidates They Can Find-- They Just Found 3 Today
Here we go again-- because losing once is never enough for a discredited strategy The demise of the furthest right faction of Republican wing of the Democrat Party, the anti-Choice, gay-hating, gun-loving, Austerity champions know as the Blue Dogs, has been widely exaggerated. And as long as so-called "ex" Blue Dog, Steve Israel is allowed to run the DCCC, the Blue Dogs will always be a factor in position inside the Democratic Caucus to undermine progressive values and wreck progressive legislation with GOP ideas, as they did to the Affordable Care Act and Wall Street financial refor... more »

*Watson*: It's a lovely morning, Holmes. *Holmes*: There's an east wind coming, Watson. *Watson*: I don't think so. Looks like another warm day. *Holmes*: Good old Watson. The one fixed point in a changing age. But there's an east wind coming all the same. Such a wind as never blew on England yet. It will be cold and bitter, Watson, and a good many of us may wither before its blast. But it's God's own wind none the less. And a greener, better, stronger land will be in the sunshine when the wind is cleared.

NEOCONS SEE ISRAEL AS THE MIDDLE EAST’S NEW POLICEMEN
Tom Wilson, a neoconservative contributing writer to *Commentary*, explains how it is becoming increasingly apparent that Israel is taking over the role policing the Middle East from the US in the light of Obama’s growing isolationist stance. Wilson writes: *Amid the Obama administration’s increasingly apparent dereliction of duty to America’s role on the world stage, it seems that, in the Middle East at least, Israel is taking on an increased level of responsibility in the effort to halt the proliferation of both weapons of mass destruction and terror groups.* According to Wilson,... more »

Steve Israel Crony Gary Melius Shot In The Head By A Masked Gunman In Probable Mob Hit

Canadian Justice Stands True
We live in a world with jurisprudence gone mad. Lawyers are the modern Samurai and the arena of combat is every aspect of your life. All parties engaged in a battle so brutal and all encompassing you cant escape it through death.

The NCCL official who wrote this letter was its legal officer, Harriet Harman. Am I correct, did she sign that letter? Why?

Gauging Mobility
I agree with the main point of Paul Krugman's latest blog post: When thinking about the welfare of a typical person in society, income inequality is more important than mobility. But this sentence struck me as more wrong than right: "the most important factor in whether you can become rich is whether you chose the right parents: Most people are going to end up with socioeconomic status close to where they started." According to a recent study of mobility (see Figure 1), the correlation between parent's income rank and children's income rank is about 0.3. That means that if you are ... more »

By the end of the conversation, there was a remarkable consensus about the overreach of foundations. Barkan kicked the discussion off with a historical analysis regarding the use and abuse of […]
Judges should be slow to exceed the sentence sought by the Crown and do so only after giving an opportunity for submissions
*R. v. Beardy,* 2014 MBCA 23: [6] For a guilty plea to be valid, an accused must understand the nature and consequences of the plea prior to entering it (see s. 606(1.1)(b)(ii) of the Criminal Code). This includes an understanding of the Crown’s position on sentence. Typically, the Crown’s position will represent the upper limit of any sentence an accused can expect to receive from the sentencing judge. While the Crown’s position cannot bind the discretion of the sentencing judge, judges should be slow to go over the recommended upper limit of the sentenc... more »
Sadr’s Ahrar Bloc Still In The 2014 Iraq Elections
After Moqtada al-Sadr announced that he was retiring in February 2014 there was much speculation about what that meant for Iraqi politics. Several of his followers in parliament and provincial councils resigned making some believe that his party would be dissolved. However, the rhetoric from the movement quickly changed after Sadr gave a speech calling for everyone to participate in this year’s balloting. Afterward the withdrawals were reversed and his Ahrar (Liberal) bloc announced that it would re-organize and compete in the vote. This all proves that Sadr’s move was a tactical ... more »

WHO IS RACHEL MADDOW: A sudden change!
*TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 2014* *Part 2—Christie disappears:* At least to judge from the magazine profiles, Rachel Maddow isn’t like you and me. Blinding sunsets seem to frame her life story’s major moments. She flings tomahawks on first dates. Working with the AR-15, she is either an astonishing shot or someone who fires off into the air. For details, see yesterday's post. Whatever you think of Maddow’s journalistic work—we think it has been increasingly shameful, which is why we’re doing this series—her skill at self-promotion seems to be endless. A skillful cocktail of humble-bragg... more »
Cutting arms and tying hands?
Post by Steven Ward and Paul Musgrave The Obama administration’s plans to shrink the U.S. military attracted intense media attention yesterday. The plan is being described as a maneuver to shift the United States’s defense posture away from protracted occupations, such as those in Iraq and Afghanistan, and toward a more conventional deterrence role. It’s Continue reading

Fracking... And Our Cynical Elites
The most compelling television I came across last night was the above opener to Chris Hayes' show. It's a jaw-dropping look at the "not in my backyard" ethos of our political elites. They are more than happy to frack up Oklahoma to the point of causing hundreds of earthquakes in a matter of days, pollute the drinking water in West Virginia so that hundreds of people are made sick before hundreds of thousands of people have no water to use at all, and make the water in Pennsylvania flammable. They have the power to do these things because of unfair policies the politicians they ow... more »

Murray Dobbins writes that none of our political parties are adopting big ideas. It's not that they're not out there. He points to the Alternative Budget which the Canadian Centre For Policy Alternatives has released in response to Jim Flaherty's do nothing document: The CCPA's alternative budget replaces most of the revenue lost through tax cuts by measures that are actually quite modest, including: - Reversing just half the recent corporate tax cuts to raise $11.6 billion. - Setting a new high income tax bracket of 35 per cent for earnings over $250,000 in order to ... more »

*Climate Consensus Con Game * By S. Fred Singer At the outset, let's be quite clear: There is no consensus about dangerous anthropogenic global warming (DAGW)-and there never was. There is not even a consensus on whether human activities, such as burning fossil fuels to produce useful energy, affect global climate significantly. So what's all this fuss about? Let's also be quite clear that science does not work by way of consensus. Science does not progress by appeal to authority; in fact, major scientific advances usually come from outside the consensus; one can cite many classic... more »

Democracy Debased
I will argue that when mass democracy was still a fairly young thing, it produced results because elites didn't know how to handle it. All adult males got the vote roughly around 1900. Women got the vote around 1920. By the 1930s we got pro-union legislation in the USA and welfare states all around Europe by the late-1940's into the 1960s. (Admittedly, the shocks of the Great Depression and World War II had something to do with that.) The point is, democracy seemed to get results. And people's human rights (the working classes, non-whites, women, children, and nowadays, LGBT) began... more »

Ousted Ukraine president on the run. K-OS (ft. Saukrates) - On The Run [Official Music Video]. Source: NettwerkMusic. Assad didn't flee Syria under Western/US pressure because real leaders don't. The ex-president of Ukraine obviously wasn't a real leader. And fuck CNN. What a trashy propaganda report. Focusing on the wealth of Ukraine's leader? Really? Find a better way to demonize someone. Still, it's important to see the bullshit on television from time to time to see where the mainstream news culture is at. With one quick look it's clear that standards have fallen. It's nause... more »

One Dingell Out-- Another One In?
Not Debbie Dingell-- this is the good potential replacement It's wonderful when people feel it's time to retire and then just do it. Congratulations to John Dingell, who made the announcement this morning. At age 87 he's the second-oldest Member of the House, after 90 year old Ralph Hall (who smelled food and inadvertently wandered into an LGBT eventrecently and was swaying to "I Will Survive" before realizing everyone in the room was a… Democrat, and fleeing in horror). Henry Waxman (74) and George Miller (68) set very classy examples of bowing out at the right time. A centrist Democ... more »

“Noam Chomsky: Why Americans Are Paranoid About Everything (Including Zombies)”
*“Noam Chomsky: * *Why Americans Are Paranoid About Everything (Including Zombies)”* by AlterNet “The following is a transcript of a part of an interview Noam Chomsky recently did with a group of students via Skype. Towards the end, a student asks the linguist and critic the quirky question why zombies figure so prominently in American popular culture. He replied with a brilliant analysis of the history of fear in America. *Question:* This might sound kind of random, but I would really like to ask your opinion of why you think there's this preoccupation with the apocolypse and wit... more »
The Desperation of the Right
We always knew the election was going to be messy. But already, some 15 months before the big day swings around, the Tories and their allies are desperately flinging anything and everything that comes to hand. Crosby and co. have long excavated and chucked the mud from their wallow. They're now down to loose soils and gravel. Sling that it makes a mess, but it's easily brushed off again. By way of illustration, here are three recent attacks. Exhibit One. You have the calling out of Ed Miliband as a millionaire posh boy who's never had a proper job. Yes, that is a proper Tory attack ... more »
Plutonium from Carlsbad New Mexico
I just read the warnings by Optimal Prediction and Potrblog about the plutonium release in New Mexico: http://optimalprediction.com/wp/plutonium-release-from-the-wipp-radioactive-waste-facility/ http://pissinontheroses.blogspot.com/2014/02/deadly-warning-initial-plutonium-cloud.html The story about the plutonium leak at Carlsbad nuclear waste site explains those high radiation levels so consistently detected by the EPA there. I always thought the jet stream must dip down there and deposit Fukushima fallout, which probably happens, but now I realize that the waste site there must ... more »
Key the Expedient
[image: image] The New ACT Party, in the form of Jamie Whyte, says in announcing yet another rise to the minimum wage the Nats have bowed to the old minimum wage myth that “minimum wages protect the poor.” But that’s not quite true, is it, not when you read Key’s announcement yesterday, where he said that “advice considered by Cabinet when it made its decision … was that the increase would result in a ‘relatively negligible’ loss of jobs.” That advice said a rise to $14.50 an hour would result in the loss of about 2,300 jobs. So what Key hasn’t done is bow to the minimum wage my... more »
In 2014 China, Cuba, Russia and Saudi Arabia became members of the United Nations Human Rights Council - Does that seem right to you?
The United Nations has forfeited the right to make moral judgements.
Classroom Activity: Coordination and Collaboration Problems
This fifth activity comes after students are to have listened to lectures about coordination (slides) and collaboration (slides) problems. I led off with a coordination problem that might not have been too difficult to overcome even if I didn’t allow them to confer, but was trivially solved given that I did. (If you’re wondering, I allowed that precisely because Continue reading

Posted: 23 Feb 2014 09:46 AM PST inner star shine Give in to the thought that you are not taking a chance on losing your sanity by thinking that there is life elsewhere in the universe, and you might have to entertain another thought: Is there life from elsewhere that is here with us now? Many of you have explored such thoughts and come to the conclusion that it is neither sane nor reasonable to think otherwise than that there is such an abundance of life in the un... more »
