The World Is Waiting For The Iranian Sanctions* To End

War News Updates Editor at War News Updates - 28 minutes ago
*Steve LeVine, Quartz:* *Iran is about to become the biggest free-for-all since the Soviet collapse* *Businesses around the world are preparing for the largest geopolitically triggered financial bonanza since the 1991 Soviet breakup: Iran’s reopening for business.* *Look for large new oil and other commercial deals, and lower global oil prices.* *The last stage of talks between Tehran and international negotiators, known as the P5+1, begins June 27 in Vienna.

* i.e. The world is waiting for the US to stop selectively defaulting on its debt....making it officially without value to listed parties. I wouldn't be holding my breath on this one. It is a reminder of how much things have changed since the Swiss impartially administered global independent and confidential international banking free from political sabotage ; compared to a blockade ( a measure of war ) without the difficulty of armed interdiction.

June 26, 2015: How Will Church Respond To This Day That Will Live In Infamy?

Scott Ryan Anderson at Table Of Wisdom.com - 1 hour ago
I remember almost fourteen years ago after the nation was attacked on September 11, 2001, churches around the country were fully alert to the significance of what had taken place. The mood was somber and people in this country were awakened at least for a brief time. From a spiritual standpoint, what has been perpetrated today by the United States Supreme Court against this nation is more catastrophic than what was inflicted by the terrorists on September 11. The propaganda is circulating throughout the media about how "wonderful" the Supreme Court supposedly "legalizing" homo-s... more »

Tonight's Movie Is "Twelve O'Clock High" (1949)

War News Updates Editor at War News Updates - 4 hours ago
From *Wikipedia*: Twelve O'Clock High is a 1949 American war film about aircrews in the United States Army's Eighth Air Force who flew daylight bombing missions against Nazi Germany and occupied France during the early days of American involvement in World War II, including a thinly disguised version of the notorious Black Thursday strike against Schweinfurt.

*“Daybreak”* by Chet Raymo “I may have been in the last generation of youngsters who grew up with an awareness of the works of Maxfield Parrish. The children's' books he illustrated were still in circulation. Reproductions of his works appeared with some regularity in books and magazines meant for kids, and they were commonly framed for children's rooms.

"What Shall He Tell That Son?" "A father sees a son nearing manhood. What shall he tell that son? 'Life is hard; be steel; be a rock.' And this might stand him for the storms and serve him for humdrum and monotony and guide him amid sudden betrayals and tighten him for slack moments. 'Life is a soft loam; be gentle; go easy.' And this too might serve him. Brutes have been gentled where lashes failed. The growth of a frail flower in a path up has sometimes shattered and split a rock. A tough will counts. So does desire.

How Corporate Takeovers in Newark and Montclair Spawned a New Solidarity Movement Against CorpEd

Jim Horn at Schools Matter - 7 hours ago
Terrific piece at Rethinking Schools by Stan Karp on how corporatization pushes in Newark and Montclair have brought poor and middle class parents and teachers together to save public education, children, and the profession.

A clip: . . . in the summer of 2012, as Cami Anderson was hollowing out Newark, Montclair hired a new superintendent. Penny MacCormack was new to the state, had never been a superintendent, and wasn’t known to many in Montclair. But those who track state educ... more »

Now, if the story were "Realtors hope cottage country market will collapse" or "Tourists hope to be miserable in NB", that would be a story. Otherwise, this is just a waste of reporters by a news medium that doesn't have enough of them in the first place. It could be a story if it had a headline like "Cottage sales are slow". But the story never says they're slow. So what is this all about? I have no idea. This is just front page space filled up with... more »

Three Islamist attacks took place today. Some injuries in a mosque Kuwait, a beheaded manager in a U.S. company in France; and 28 or more people shot at a beach in Tunisia. Beheading looks scary but I am obviously much more shocked by the Tunisian beach. I/we have been to Tunisia twice, in Summers of 1997 and 2008. I think we were in Sousse – the place of the attack – in 1997. And it was certainly Tabarka in 2008. The country has been one of the most standard paradises for European tourists.

Average speed cameras to blight the life of many Londoners

One of my early pieces on this blog was about the new cameras appearing on the A406 that I thought could become average speed cameras.

You’ve probably heard of those well-known experiments that show we’re all psychologically programmed to go with the flow. Conformity R Us. Even when confronted with overwhelming evidence - logic, past performance, common sense and all manner of things that stare us in the face, the well-meaning and the ill-willed alike still believe what they believed in the first place if that’s what they want to believe, and of course, if everyone else they know believes it too.
