"A Little Parenthesis In Eternity..."
"A Little Parenthesis In Eternity..."
“We are travelers on a cosmic journey, stardust, swirling and dancing in the eddies and whirlpools of Infinity. Life is Eternal. We have stopped for a moment to encounter each other, to meet, to love, to share. This is a precious moment. It is a little parenthesis in Eternity." - Paulo Coelho
What's Next For The Ambitious Young Guy Who Ran The Worst Congressional Race Of 2014?
As far as we know, so far Sean Eldridge spent $4,659,027 in his failed NY-19 congressional run ($2,840,000 of which was from his personal wealth). His opponent, Chris Gibson, who spent $1,798,884, was an early DCCC target because the district has a PVI of D+1 and because Obama won the district twice, 175,800 (53%) to 150,359 (45%) against McCain and 157,279 (52%) to 138,384 (46%) against Romney. Problem though, is that while Obama was racking up an almost 20,000 vote margin in 2012, Gibson beat the DCCC's Red-to-Blue candidate, Julian Schreibman, by over 15,000 votes. That same Ob... more »
Crossbreeding Terrorists
There is a lot of terrorist crossbreeding going on right now across the Muslim world. Recently, Jihadist groups operating in the Sinai *openly declared that they will officially join ISIS*. Yesterday, the *Pakistani government published a report* saying that thousands of fighters in its tribal areas are deflecting from the Taliban and throwing their support behind ISIS. And *a city in Libya* said it has joined the so-called Islamic State. ISIS, known for its brutality, massacres, and religious bigotry, has ideological appeal in many conservative areas in Arab and Muslim societies.... more »
(Wise Up, Janet Weiss 2!) Actually, Democrats Have a Clear Agenda and Are More Ideological Than Republicans (They Are the Proud Neolibs) How the Koches Made All That Money and How They Intend To Keep It (Loopholes (and They Own US))
Now, neoliberalism is often thought of as synonymous with privatization, deregulation, and trade and capital liberalization, but the state will discard these policies for corporate handouts the instant elites get into a self-inflicted mess, as with the Wall Street crash. This has left the Democratic Party in a bind. It relies on votes from social groups like women, union members, Blacks,
Fall of the Berlin Wall: Then and Now
Today 25 years ago the Berlin Wall was torn down, one of the most consequential events of the 20th Century, catalyst for the end of the Cold War and freedom for millions stuck behind the Iron Curtain yanked down on them by the USSR.

Quote: "Will the Taliban be like IS here, pushing us and overrunning population centers? No. The Taliban have lost politically. What they have is lethal power and the power to unleash terror, but they do not have acceptance in the society. Plus, the Afghan power structure, with all its shortcomings and flaws, has been an inclusive system. You do not find a particular constituency being exc... more »
Christianity and the Sino-American Relationship

Common Core Is Designed to Drive Your Local Curriculum.
Proponents of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) like to promote the idea that CCSS is “not a curriculum.” The CCSS website further states the disjointed idea that local districts somehow retain true freedom over what is taught in the classroom. This is a lie. CCSS is a laundered curriculum. That is, in order for schools to truly […]
The Economics Behind the Fall of the Berlin Wall
*Much of the media discussion around the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Berlin Wall’s fall focusses on American military politics and the politicians of the time. But to truly understand why the Soviet system in Eastern Europe collapsed, says Ryan McMaken in this guest post, we must look to Mises’s pioneering work on economic planning.* Today marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Like most historical events that are commemorated as if they took place on a single day, the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989, was just one of many interrelated ev... more »

On the Cusp of Nuclear War?
There's a lot of other serious shit going down everywhere. But I have to say that this crisis in the Ukraine has me spooked. And the fighting in Iraq and Syria. It's all connected to the USA's deluded attempts to maintain full spectrum dominance over the entire earth, all of human civilization. From 1945-1991 they had to contend with a rival super-power. The USSR's implosion meant that the USA was now the world's only super-power. But by 1991, the USA had its own problems. And, for the rest of the world, 1991 wasn't 1945. In 1945, Europe and Japan were in ruins. India and China were... more »

If you use this tool, you’ll notice that reading tasks that are too difficult for students are by default […]

“Tear down this Wall!” [updated]
Sitting on my shelf at home is a small piece of concrete covered on one side in paint. I got it in Berlin in 1990. It's a piece of the Wall: the symbol for decades of the regime it protected, that finally fell 25 years ago today. Nothing more defined the nature of the regime than the prison wall it was; nothing was more historically significant in the last half-century than its fall. Behind the Iron Curtain for which the wall was the symbol –”a symbol of the tyranny of the totalitarian state under which the individual was viewed as the property of the state” – “a breathtaking mor... more »

Boyd Bushman
So the Internet is all ablaze with the “deathbed” statement of Boyd Bushman who apparently has some fine credentials and who said that he had proof that aliens have visited Earth. He even held up a picture of an alien that some claimed was the same sort of fuzzy, hard to see pictures that are often offered as evidence of aliens. The picture he held up didn’t look all that fuzzy to me. It seemed to be quite easy to see the alien. Bushman’s claim was that he had worked at Lockheed – Martin (and some other defense related corporations) and a few wondered if that was true. It seems, ho... more »

The Criminality Of The GMO Biotech Industry: Poison First, Regulate Later
Global Research and Countercurrents 14/11/2014 The GM Contamination Register database has been run by Genewatch and Greenpeace for about ten years and contains cases dating from 1997 to the end of 2013 [1]. The authors of a new paper, published in the International Journal of Food Contamination, analysed the 400 or so cases in the database by crop and country [2]. GM rice accounts for about a third of contamination cases, despite the fact there is officially no GM rice grown anywhere in the world. The authors suggest this high level might be related to the routine testing of import... more »

If you read behind the headline he "revealed his doubts in private conversations with senior Labour colleagues".

Yes, But WHY Didn't Democrats Turn Out On Election Day? WHY?
A Member of Congress, a strong, active, unambiguous progressive who sailed to victory Tuesday, called me complaining about Pelosi's tele-caucus meeting the other day. The Democrats, Pelosi said, did badly in the election because-- wait for it-- turnout was bad. It *was* bad... something like only 36.6% of registered voters went to the polls. But that in itself doesn't explain why the Democrats did poorly, nor why Republicans did well. On C-Span's *Newsmakers* this morning, Bernie Sanders said he thinks "many of the Democratic candidates did not run on an agenda which resonated with... more »
Germany Marks The 25th Anniversary On The Fall Of The Berlin Wall
*Somber, Hopeful Ceremonies Mark 25 Years Since The Berlin Wall Fell -- CNN* (CNN) -- Jumping out of buildings, running through barbed wire, flying makeshift planes and digging secret tunnels -- all desperate measures used by people to flee East Berlin after the wall went up. Those images and memories flooded back into Germany's collective conscious on Sunday, as the nation celebrated 25 years since the Berlin Wall came tumbling down. On November 9, 1989, tens of thousands of Germans literally tore it down by hand -- using their fists, pickaxes, sledgehammers and shovels. Then Ea... more »

Lest We Forget
Indeed we must not forget, not just the terrible toll that war takes upon those who engage in it both directly and indirectly but we must also not forget what the second world war was about and how it all started. I must give a brief history lesson here of the period BEFORE the war in Europe which in my view is important to understand when talking about democracy as I do in this blog. It all started with one megalomaniac who was the leader of a political party and was elected to a MINORITY government in 1933, that he was arrested and found guilty of treason some 10 years earlier for... more »
Blossom Goodchild - November 8, 2014
*Blossom Goodchild - November 8, 2014* I was just taking some time to tune in for today’s session, when out of nowhere, the song ‘Consider Yourself’, from the musical ‘Oliver’, came into my mind. The chorus ran through my head and I smiled … *'Consider yourself ... at home; Consider yourself ... one of the family. We’ve taken to you ... so strong, its clear, we’re ... going to get along. Consider yourself ... our mate. We don’t want to have ...no fuss, for after some consideration we can state, consider yourself ... one of us!

Was The Andrew Marr Show biased?
Was this morning's *The Andrew Marr Show *biased? Before I give my answer to that I'd like to pass on the result of a little study I did whilst watching it. I decided to simultaneously follow the programme on Twitter using the hashtag *#marr, *noting down the allegations of bias being made. It was quite an experience. Like *QT* audiences, the *#marr *hashtag appears to be heavily used by political activists seeking to steer the debate and, again like on *QT*, the left-wing activists shouted loudest. There was a *#webacked *campaign running by Labour activists and a parallel *#save... more »

*These 7 Countries Will College Educate You for Free* The cost of college tuition has skyrocketed, with huge increases over the past five years as college aid has been reduced by state budgets. In Arizona, for example, this increase in tuition has been 77 percent. In Georgia, it's 75 percent, and in Washington state, 70 percent.Two-thirds of American college students graduate with college debt, and that debt now tops $1.2 trillion. By every indication, college is now more expensive than it has ever been, out of reach of not only poor Americans, but even middle class ones. While va... more »

*There is no "hidden" heat* Just in case you were not aware, since about 1997 or so, there has been nearly no global temperature rise. This is despite atmospheric CO2 concentration continuing to rise. To date there are some 55 ideas to explain this slowdown in global warming. Some of the ‘explanations’ presume the so-called ‘greenhouse effect’ is operating as the IPCC models calculated; it’s just that the heat has hidden elsewhere, maybe deep in the ocean. I wondered if there was empirical data available of the greenhouse effect? And could it show whether or not the greenhouse ef... more »

Argentina Buying Gripens? Brits Say 'No Way'
[image: Saab Gripen E/F fighter]Argentina’s Defense Minister Agustin Rossi surprised just about everybody when he announced on Oct. 21 that his government intended to buy 24 Saab Gripen E fighters to re-equip his nation’s ancient Air Force. But Rossi’s request appeared to ignore a likely insurmountable hurdle to the sale: Britain, its longtime foe, has a near veto on the export of the combat jet as a result of the substantial number of UK systems in the jet. More than 30 percent of the new version of the Gripen being developed by Saab is supplied by British industry. Selex ES’ key ... more »
Origin of the Separatists’ Buk: A Bellingcat Investigation

WZ-10 could be as good as Apache: Chinese expert
[image: WZ-10 attack helicopter]On Nov. 6, Chen Hong, a Chinese military expert, told Chinese state mouthpiece, the People's Daily, that the WZ-10 attack helicopter designed by Changhe Aircraft Industries Corporation could be as good as the US Army's AH-64 Apache helicopter. The WZ-10 helicopter began its service with the PLA back in 2012. It is capable of carrying seven tons of munitions and stay operational for three hours. In addition, Chen said that the combat radius of a WZ-10 is 300km. Like the AH-64D Longbow Apache, the WZ-10 is a very powerful helicopter, Chen said. At the Z... more »
Crisis-hit MiG aircraft ejects 3 fuel tanks on Gwalior farm
[image: MiG-21 Bison]An Indian Air Force (IAF) fighter plane dropped three fuel tanks on outskirts of Gwalior city on Saturday during an in-flight emergency. MiG-21 fleet's upgraded Bison variant was on a training mission at Gwalior airbase when the pilot was forced to jettison the tanks. They were dropped 5 km from the base runway and landed on a field 500m away from a residential locality, said sources. "Emergency crew swiftly responded. The pilot followed procedure and we're relieved no one was hurt," an IAF officer said. An investigation has been launched. It was a routine trai... more »
What drives some negative reviewers of "Interstellar"
At the beginning, the Interstellar movie I would see on Thursday was getting almost entirely positive reactions. Even today, most of the professional reviewers rated it with 73%. But if you search for the reviews at generic websites, you will notice that the most typical rating of self-anointed critics is actually 2 stars. Where does the gap come from? Well, the gap has – and the negative reviews have – numerous reasons but some of the most obvious ones are not being discussed. Many of the negative reviewers are lazy, intellectually limited, anti-science spoiled brats; and many othe... more »

Can Bernie Sanders Do An End Run Around Anti-Democracy Conservatives-- With A New National Holiday On Election Day?
Over the years there have been attempts to move election day to the weekends so that people who work for a living can actually vote without a lot of extra hassle. Louise Slaughter penned one last year. "Having Election Day on a Tuesday," she said at the time, "is an outdated requirement that simply does not comport with the schedules of modern Americans. Instituting weekend voting would make it easier and more convenient for Americans to exercise their right to vote, and would help reduce lines at the polls and increase voter turnout." Although many Republicans said they liked the... more »

Ottawa Parliament Hill False Flag Shooting: Canada's False Flag Terror - Fingerprints Of US Involvement! (Imagine My Shock!)
I had honestly by this point wanted to steer away from the ridiculous Ottawa false flag shooting of last month that was DEFINITELY a false flag operation that was set up from the get go…. The criminal Harper regime in Ottawa has long needed such a "terrorist" attack to take place somewhere in Canada just so it can get the Canadian people to "rally" behind their fraudulent war on 'ISIS', while at the same time get some draconian legislation passed that would inhibit the freedoms of the Canadian people…. The timing of that fraud "terrorist" attack could not have been more perfect for ... more »

towards a cruelty-free face: switching to products not tested on animals
I've begun changing my personal care products to cruelty-free: natural products from companies that are better for the environment and don't test on animals. I'm not sure how far I'll be able to go, but I've begun the process. After a lifetime of using conventional products, I was moved to think more about this by a few different sources. When I worked in the children's library, I often saw a book about animal cruelty. It was not the one I wrote about here, about dogs, but a book in a series called "Tough Issues," similar to the kind of series I used to contribute to. This "tough ... more »
Why Very Few Real Dems Voted for Obama's NeoLib Dims (Such Large-Scale Public Theft With No Solid Policies To Pay Back Taxpayers) Jeb and George Bush: Our Fracking Mentors/Investors

Tommy Magliozzi provides shocking evidence about the progress and happiness of mankind
*Tommy (with Ray on his right, at MIT, June 4, 1999) explains that once the boys finally got down to thinking about their commencement speech, they determined through close study of other commencement speeches that one thing they seemed to have in common was that they all had a beginning, a middle, and an end -- providing them with not just inspiration and a guideline but a challenge. (UPDATE: Here again is the link for MIT's 1999 commencement festivities.

Although the law exists since the beginning of civilization, it was only officially declared in 1933 by writer Aksel Sandemose in the novel “A Refugee Goes Beyond Limits.” The sad truth is that the Law of Jante is a rule applied in every country in the world, despite the fact that Brazilians say that “this only happens here,” and t... more »

"The eternal silence of infinite spaces frightens me. Why now rather than then? Who has put me here? By whose order and direction have this place and time have been ascribed to me? We travel in a vast sphere, always drifting in the uncertain, pulled from one side to another. Whenever we find a fixed point to attach and to fasten ourselves, it shifts and leaves us; and if we follow it, it eludes our grasp, slips past us, and vanishes for ever. Nothing stays for us. This is our natural condition, most contrary to our inclination; we burn with desires to find solid ground and an ultima... more »

In almost every case, we know what is best for us in our lives, from the relationships we create to the food we eat.

We find ourselves hanging out with someone who leaves us feeling drained or choosing to eat fast food over a salad. We go through phases where we stop doing yoga or taking vitamins, even... more »
William Shakespeare, "The Excellent Foppery..."
"This is the excellent foppery of the world, that when we are sick in fortune (often the surfeits of our own behaviour) we make guilty of our disasters the sun, the moon, and stars: as if we were villains on necessity; fools by heavenly compulsion; knaves, thieves, and treacherous by spherical predominance; drunkards, liars, and adulterers by an enforced obedience of planetary influence; and all that we are evil in, by a divine thrusting on.

Chinese Domestic Natural Gas Fracking Boom, Direct From Ground To Pipeline(One by One British Columbia Is Losing LNG Customers)
- *China's shale gas ramp-up may surprise the skeptics. Beijing wants drillers to grow output from a standing start to a third of current U.S. levels – around 270 billion cubic meters (bcm) annually – by 2020. That’s a stretch. But on plausible assumptions, the People's Republic could get there within a decade. New discoveries and further joint ventures with the likes of Texas-based FTS International would help.* *The development of vast domestic shale resources has taken on fresh urgency as China attempts to shift power generation away from smog-producing coal towards cleaner-burn... more »

Why Is Pakistan Such A Mess? - Ahmed Rashid
Afghanistan and Pakistan seem to be miles apart in their cultural and political development. *Afghanistan's new first lady is a Christian Lebanese-American* who is out front about her support for women's rights, birth control, internally displaced refugees, and other progressive issues, while in Pakistan two Christians were recently *burned to death by an extremist Muslim mob*.
