Ever Wonder Why Steve Israel Won't Let The DCCC Take On Pollution Avatar Fred Upton-- And Why He Recruits Pro-Pollution Democrats?
With Climate Change, energy policy and environmental protection shaping up
as one of the most important cache of issues facing America's political
elites, I've been trying to figure out why DCCC chairman Steve Israel would
recruit so many awful candidates with views on the environment identical to
Republicans. He has them keeping their mouths shit about it-- his "mystery
meat strategy"-- but he's recruited shills for Big Coal like Jennifer
Garrison in Ohio and a fracking enthusiast in Bucks County, Pennsylvania,
Kevin Strouse, where even Republicans are environmentally-conscious!

NEO-NAZI'S PUSH FOR POWER IN UKRAINE
The leader of the Ukrainian radical group Right Sector, Dmitry Yarosh, was

several far-right groups, was formed in November 2013.
After the February 21 agreement between now-ousted President Viktor

Marc Dutroux (born 1956), "the Monster of Belgium", is a Belgian Jew who is
a convicted serial killer and paedophile. He kidnapped, tortured and
murdered young girls in the 1990s. He had a handful of accomplices who were
also convicted - one of whom he killed (Bernard Weinstein).

Ukraine districts where the local populations are Russian speaking and
generally more aligned to Russian influence than the Ukrainian tendency to

Why Some Labour People Don't Like Blair
Is Tony Blair Labour's greatest ever leader? John McTernan certainly thinks
so. He lays out Blair's stall and talks up the nice things he achieved in
office. It begs the question, what is wrong with those people who grumble
about him? Rising employment, stable public finances, the minimum wage -
Gordon Brown couldn't have inherited a better set of policy achievements.
It must be that Blair refused to nationalise the top 100 monopolies, and
didn't squeeze the rich until the pips squeaked. Or perhaps it's because he

The common core: An untried curriculum plus nonstop testing

M. Donald Thomas is right: "Common Core supporters (are) providing

other serious problems.
First, the common core standards are untested. There were no pilot
studies.
Second, the common core requires a huge increase in testing; research has
indicated that increasing testing does not mean greater achievement.
Also, the new tests will cost a fortune because they must be delivered

The Hypocrisy of the U.S. against Russia going into Crimea is Astounding! WW3 - Not Bombs but bonds?
I am sincerely astounded at the hypocrisy of the U.S. and Western nations.
They are so outraged that Russia would go into the Ukraine area of Crimea
and try to calm the events that are happening there. We know that the U.S.

*The Assassination of Martin Luther King *
April 4 of 67 Martin voiced opposition against the Vietnam War,
He also planned to march on Washington addressing the struggles of the poor,

One year later it inspired America to murder him, because America is evil

Now here’s the truth about who murdered* Martin Luther King.*

Why GOP Administrations Do Not Create Jobs

opposite and so --too --the miserable results.

Countering The Demented Ravings Of Doctors Like Paul Broun And Phil Gingrey, Georgia Sociopaths
Lee Rogers, surgeon, progressive
This morning's *NY Times* looked at medical doctors in Congress-- although
the post is mostly a puff piece about a naive right-wing pediatric
neurosurgeon in Oregon who's running against Jeff Merkley. The Senate has 3
doctors now (Coburn, Barrasso and the uncertified ophthalmologist Rand
Paul) and there are 17 in the House (many of whom are certifiably-- and
horrifyingly-- insane, like Tennessee Republican, Scott DesJarlais, who is
best known for sedating his patients with heavy drugs to have sex with
them, and a couple of whacked out Georgia extremis... more »
On Free Will
Sugar drinks may kill you faster than heroin, but the good news in both
cases it was a free choice. Free choice is a brilliant, until it meats
reality. We are all victims of goverment. But goverment is the only way to
prevent us to be the victims of individuals. Now vote which is worse.
Most brilliant Framing
Framing is a new name for what used to be argument. Now there is no need to
argue just a need to decide you can frame the issue with a force that makes
the other side abide. Its true on some heart and sole issues from both side
when the invective right our wrong rings true like medieval kings they
will surrender that issue and Armour up for the next conflict. There is no
longer a sentiment that to some thing I must be true,
Kill the butterflies cause they are free
we fly like butterfly's
so innocent
with nothing behind our
wings except pollination
so may families
have dies
just keeping
our jungle alive
no one we know
no one we do not believe
has not been bought out
by the powers that believe
If you say freedom
all the sheeple will
accept the fact that
you deceive
because it means
you will be the last
one to receive
the blade of reality
that just does not
kill you but collects
a lifetime of taxes
and waits without priduce
for your kin and kind
to contribute
above and beyond taxes
in this freely elected mandate
to forgive
when we deceive,

TESTS SET FOR MAN CHARGED IN THREATBy JOSEPH B. TREASTERPublished: April 9,
1981
A Federal judge yesterday ordered a psychiatric examination for the
22-year-old unemployed man who was charged in Manhattan Tuesday with
threatening to kill President Reagan. Other authorities said the man had
indicated he was motivated to commit violence by a ''prophetic dream.''
The accused man, Edward M. Richardson of Drexel Hill, Pa., told of the
dream in a letter that was delivered to Jodie Foster, the actress, at Yale
University last Monday, Federal law enforcement officials said.

Quebec as a country
Amid all the shouting idots and regal progressions there is some willing
desire of all people to fly the flag. Its so easy an appeal, these guys are
making economic violence on your downtrodden lives. Its exactly the appeal
that moved Germany into such a violent appeal for respect. How can respect
a Quebecois, should I drop my pants and say there you go at length will not
measure up to the manhood of the Quebec measure of dick length based upon
the phase of stimulation.. Oh fuck I am a minority on a contient that has
not got over slavery. Please tell me you are not shirly serious abo... more »
The EU's funding of the BBC
Do you remember the "brief frisson of excitement" a week or so ago about
an
article in the *Spectator *that I myself, sharing in that frisson,
describedas looking like "a questions-really-need-answering kind of
scoop to me, and
quite damning against the BBC"?
The *Speccie *had used FoI requests to force a reluctant BBC to reveal
that
it had received some £4 million in EU funding between 2011 and 2013.
So what happened next?
Well, nothing really. The "brief frisson of excitement" subsided, and
the
BBC's world continues to spin on regardless.

"How to Spot Your Own Self-Delusion"
*"How to Spot Your Own Self-Delusion"*
by Pamela Meyer
"What if deception is in the eye of the beholder? And what if lies can help
us tell the truth? Enter into the multimedia world of magician Marco
Tempest and decide for yourself."
"Marco is right: The biggest lies are the lies we tell ourselves. S.E.
Hinton wrote in The Outsiders, "I lie to myself all the time. But I never
believe me." Maybe she was onto something. We've trained ourselves to
accept certain truths about where we find fulfillment, where we find joy,
and where we find success. But should we challenge that conventi... more »

Research Mission: The Politics of Species Survival
My research mission is to disclose political and environmental dangers to
our well-being as a species. I study the politics of our vitality as a
species and I've become increasingly interested in ionizing radiation's
biological effects because they directly threaten species survival, a fact
that has been known since the 1940s but has been deliberately denied for
reasons of political power.
Below find some data I've assembled about the reproductive and childhood
effects of ionizing radiation. The data were assembled in response to a
media inquiry about thyroid nodules & cancer among... more »
Lunch and Geocaching
Today was the monthly geocacher's lunch, which is always a great time.
Forget geocaching - Little Gypsy came to sell cookies!
Bonnie wasn't aware that the question was "who wants to host the next
luncheon?"
"Take this haunted Totem and recieve three free mushrooms!"
Little Gypsy and Hate To Be Lost mug for the camera.
After lunch Southern Man and Dr. Scissortail headed out to pick up a few
caches...
"Can't get in that way..."
We were five feet from the cache but had to hike to the other entrance and
break out the flashlights to get to it. Good people and good times...
Physical Therapy

So
after numerous delays Southern Man finally gets his first appointment
with the surgeon-recommended physical therapist to work on that ankle.
But
when Southern Man found out what it would cost ($200 per visit
*with*insurance!) he decided that walking to distant geocaches would be
both
cheaper and more effective so he tackled one near the therapist called
"Deer Trail" that was about a half-mile in to an undeveloped area.
One of the deer didn't make it.
So there will be no physical therapy this month, just lots of backwoods
geocaching. Wait, isn't that how Southern Man broke his le... more »
"America's Glorious Empire of Debt, Part II"
*Editor's note:* America's economic recovery may seem like it is built on
solid ground. But scratch the surface and a very different reality emerges.
In their book, "The New Empire of Debt", Bill Bonner and co-author Addison
Wiggin, reveal the faulty foundations on which the US economy rests.
Through his widely followed e-letters and his bestselling books, Bill has
made it his mission to warn readers about the dangers posed to them by
America's debt-fueled and heavily manipulated economic model. He believes
that the debt crisis of 2008 was just the first wave of a much bigger

Ukraine, Quebec and the price of tea in China
If John Wayne was an interplanetary cowboy sitting so high in his saddle he
could see the earth like a big TV, what would he see? Violent death is part
of the cowboy creed, and where that is happening you will find many
gunslingers and a few Marshall who believe. The Duke would surely want to
do the most good for the pilgrims of this planet. If that were the case he
would be taking the reigns in hand in central Africa where the carnage is
like worse than Gettysburg every week out of hand. Our maybe he would see
the hundreds of gunshots death every day in the USA and think that's my... more »
Sandra - In the Heat of the Night
East confronts West. Idle talk of a new Cold War is in the air. For some,
including me, the nostalgic pull has proven too difficult to resist -
musically speaking. Thankfully, German skies in the 1980s weren't lit up by
shell fire and the exhaust trails of tactical nukes. Instead, galloping
basslines, hairspray and concrete-hard shoulder pads cavorted under the
shadow of the bomb. To recall that apposite time, for your aural
delectation here is a battle hymn from the front.
Reproductive Public Health Ethics at MANCEPT 2014
Happy to be able to tell the world that a proposal headed by myself for a
series of sessions at the increasingly popular and important MANCEPT
Workshops in Political Theory conference has been accepted for this year's
edition, September 8-10, 2014.
The proposal is on the theme of *Reproductive Public Health Ethics*, where
a selected lineup of speakers from the Netherlands, Romania, Sweden and the
UK will address different dimensions (biopolitics, bioethics, public health
ethics, population ethics, environmental ethics) of ethics and value issues
attached to reproductive policy. The ... more »
