Did Israel-NATO Military Exercise Cause Russian Jet Crash?
Little media coverage has been given to the fact that during the time of the Russian plane crash over the Sinai, the skies were filled with planes just a few miles away with planes from Israel, Poland, Greece, France, Germany, and the United States, all taking part in a military war game named “Blue Flag“. The purpose of the military exercise, ‘coincidentally’ taking place at the same location and the same time as the crash, was to “simulate a defence of Israel from a Russian air attack”. Veteranstoday.com reports: One plane was lost, shot down, now clearly by an “external explosio... more »
Is America Preparing For World War 3
Hillary Clinton shares a dream for America with every GOP candidate but one, Rand Paul. That dream is the nightmare scenario of a direct confrontation with Russia in order to stop them from attacking ISIS. Only Rand Paul pointed out that they are advocating shooting down Russian jets and starting World War 3. Ben Carson engraved a Bible verse on humility next to the shrine he created to himself, misspelling “Proverbs” as “poverbs”. Yet he would have us believe that he supports the trade & global governance treaty (TPP) crafted in secret by multinational corporations because he read ... more »
Chile Could Be Facing A Large Earthquake And Tsunami
Over the last few days dangerous seismic activity has been observed in Chile with two 6.9 earthquakes hitting the country. There have been no reports of major damage, as yet, and both quakes occurred within an hour of each other as the USGS reports: earthquake.usgs.gov earthquake.usgs.gov Normally when two or more quakes this large occur in the same area, with such a close magnicture, then the chances of them being “foreshocks” increase dramatically. A foreshock is an earthquake that occurs before a larger seismic event (the mainshock) and is related to it in both time and space. I... more »
Stephen Hawking: God Is Dead
Professor Stephen Hawking has always been fairly ambiguous on the question of God or an afterlife … until recently. In an interview with Spain’s El Mundo, the astrophysicist declared that there is no God. Reflecting on the advancement of science, Hawking said that there is no longer a need for a supreme being to explain the existence of things. “Before we understand science, it is natural to believe that God created the universe. But now science offers a more convincing explanation,” he told them. Cnet.com reports: I’m not sure whether there was a specific moment in which science o... more »
Russia Threatened With ‘Olympic Ban’ If They Expose Plane Crash
The Kremlin have said that the Obama administration have silenced three American mercenaries who are believed to have been behind the downing of the Russian plane that crashed over the Sinai. Furthermore the Foreign Intelligence Report says that the Obama administration have officially warned Russia that if they contradict the official explanation for the crash (that it was brought down by a bomb by ISIS), then Russia will be banned from participating in the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio.

US Flies B-52 Bombers Over Disputed Islands Near China
The Pentagon have confirmed that B-52 bombers recently flew over the Chinese man-made islands in the South China Sea, and that China tried to contact the bombers but to no avail. The disputed waters have been a contentious subject between Washington and Beijing, with the US saying that they do not recognise China’s claim of sovereignty over the islands. So the recent sight of a U.S. bomber flying over Chinese territory will have rattled the Chinese government.

Japan's Troubled Monju Reactor
From my book, Fukushima and the Privatization of Risk: By global standards, Japan has a relatively extensive nuclear complex. It has a vast network of commercial nuclear power plants and it has uranium reprocessing capabilities at Tokai. It has two established breeder reactors, Joyo reactor, which began operation in 1977, and the Monju reactor, with troubled beginnings in 1994. As of early 2012, Japan calculated that it had invested $12 billion in its experimental ‘Monju’ sodium-cooled, fast-breeder reactor in Fukui Prefecture.[i]Designed to operate on plutonium from reprocessed... more »

The Geopolitical Rules Are No Longer 'In Play'
*John Mclaughlin, Ozy*:* The Geopolitical Rules You Didn't Know About Are Under Siege* In the post–Cold War era, geopolitics can sometimes seem like the Wild West. But despite all appearances, an order governs there. Or rather it has. Throughout modern history, most countries have accepted a few simple rules to ward off total chaos: laws and conventions around land, sea and the air. These rules are not sexy — maritime law isn’t exactly known to quicken the pulse — but they’re as vital to the international order as a score is to an orchestra. But now, as we approach the 25th annive... more »

Nov.12: A very dangerous situation.
Why did Britain and the U.S. both announce very shortly after a Russian airliner crashed in Sinai that it was done by a bomb, and probably shipped aboard as luggage? Why do both say it was done by Muslim terrorists? At the time, no Americans or British had seen the wreck. Russians who did see it said they didn't know what caused it. Even today, they say it COULD have been a bomb. Others say it could have been rocket fired from the ground. Worse, it could have been a British rocket, one of many weapons supplied to terrorists by the U.S. and Britain. Putin has said little. But we can b... more »

"The Chessboard"
"The chessboard is the world; the pieces are the phenomena of the universe; the rules of the game are what we call the laws of Nature. The player on the other side is hidden from us. We know that his play is always fair, and patient. But also we know, to our cost, that he never overlooks a mistake, or makes the smallest allowance for ignorance." - Thomas Huxley
But I didn't know it was illegal!
There is an old legal concept - ignorance of the law is no defence. The idea is that no one can defend a charge by saying they didn't know what they had done was illegal. The law must apply equally to everyone and both the most ignorant and the most knowledgeable have to follow the same rules. The problem is that knowing what the law is is not always easy. The concept that everyone is assumed to know the law makes very good sense when you are dealing with offenses that are obviously wrong; say assault or theft. You don't need to be told that hitting someone or stealing their stuf... more »

Climate Alarmism: Facing the Larger Problem
The bishop hill site has a post on one of the latest examples of sophistry (reasoning that is superficially plausible but actually fallacious) in public statements by climate alarmists.

My response: *Immanuel Velikovsky, not Erich von Dänniken, wrote "Worlds In Collision".

Israel’s Punishment Of Palestinians Has Roots In British Colonial Rule
Israel consistently commits the cruel act of demolishing Palestinian homes and then giving it a verbal reference and justification by terming it “punitive demolitions.” Israel justifies the outrageous act by referring to a 1945 British colonial law which provided provisions for house demolitions to the authorities. According to polls, 80% of Israeli Jews are happy with “punitive demolitions” and insist on demolishing Palestinian homes, as their forefathers have done since 1945.

More on the LFTR Aassessment
The recent publication, Technology Assessment of Molten Salt Reactor Design, The Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactor (LFTR) by The Electrical Power Research Institute.has proven to be a wonderful read that will enlighten anyone who is seriously interested in the potential of nuclear power. I am reeding it through the magic of the Google Chrome speech feature. Kirk Sorensen has always been a talented commentator. So it is quite appropriate that a detailed assessment of his LFTR project would be extremely well written. Technological issues are, of course, discussed, but in a way t... more »
Why is Jeremy Corbyn Unelectable?
As our media and political establishment continue to impress upon us, the Labour Party has no hope of entering office with Jeremy Corbyn at the helm. Whatever the truth of this claim, it needs unpacking. It could mean that his politics are so intrinsically unattractive that even if they were presented dispassionately to the voting public he would remain unelectable. We might call this the *democratic *reason to call him unelectable. On the other hand it could be taken to mean that certain people, more powerful than the average voter, simply will not tolerate him being elected. They... more »
Wheel Of Giants: Mystery Of ‘Stonehenge’ Monument In Golan Heights
A prehistoric stone monument has gone unnoticed for centuries in a bare expanse of field in the disputed region of the Golan Heights. Now archaeologists have dated the ancient megalithic site as being 5,000 years old or roughly the same age as Stonehenge in Wiltshire. The monument is known by two names. Its Arabic name is Rujm el-Hiri meaning the ‘stone heap of the wild cat,’ while ts Hebrew name Gilgal Refaim means ‘wheel of giants’ and refers to an ancient race of giants mentioned in the Bible. However, archaeologists still don’t know who built it, or why. Theories include an anci... more »
Racism Under Inspection by Students at U. S. Campuses
The progress over the past 20 years in establishing the rights of gay citizens has been gratifying to all who seek universal legal justice and social justice. At the same time, the expansion of institutional racism and "color blind" policies, the embrace of intensely-segregated schools, and the creation of the world's largest and blackest prison and criminal injustice industry have left many of us wondering when the civil rights movement might spread to include black and brown citizens oppressed by corporatists masked as liberators. So the current challenge to racist practices an... more »
Easy Chicken Cacciatore
Every now and then, I just crave Italian food but I don't want to have to go out in the cold and the snow to enjoy an old favorite. This version of Chicken Cacciatore is so easy to make, it comes together easily in under an hour and it is full of flavor. It easy to change it a bit based on what you have.

ND did those feet in ancient timeWalk upon England's mountains green?And was the holy Lamb of GodOn England's pleasant pastures seen? And did the Countenance DivineShine forth upon our clouded hills?And was Jerusalem builded hereAmong these dark Satanic Mills? Bring me my bow of burning gold!Bring me my arrows of desire!Bring me my spear! O clouds, unfold!Bring me my chariot of fire! I will not cease from mental fight,Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand,Till we have built Jerusalem In England's green and pleasant land.
Participatory Democracy
http://www.amazon.com/ Justin Trudeau has made a lot of promises. And, Susan Delacourt writes, he's calling on Canadians to help him keep them. That's a complete turnaround from the man he replaced: The difference boils down to this: Stephen Harper only made promises that he had the power to deliver on his own. Trudeau, on the other hand, needs help from people and institutions outside his government to make good on his campaign pledges — help from premiers, from other countries and, perhaps most importantly, from Canadian citizen... more »
Obamacare as Redistribution
When students ask me about the Affordable Care Act, I often say that the policy was motivated as much by the desire to redistribute income as it was to reform the health care system. I recently ran across the following chart from Brookings economists Henry Aaron and Gary Burtless that shows the degree of redistribution that the act entails.

Palmyra Will Be Flattened By May Warns Syrian Antiquities Director
Antiquities Director for Syria, Professor Maamoun Abdulkarim calls himself the “saddest director of antiquities” in the world as he battles to save what is left of the ancient city of Palmyra. He pleads to the international community to help save Syria’s heritage, after Palmyra, a UNESCO World Heritage site, was partially destroyed by ISIS. His predecessor was tortured and beheaded by the jihadists as he tried to save priceless antiquities from being looted or destroyed. ISIS captured the ruins in May and have since been on the path of dismantling human history and culture. The rape... more »

*Campus Commotions Show We're Raising Fragile Kids* By Jonah Goldberg It seems like every week there’s a new horror story of political correctness run amok at some college campus. A warning not to wear culturally insensitive Halloween costumes sparked an imbroglio at Yale, which went viral over the weekend. A lecturer asked in an email, “Is there no room anymore for a child to be a little bit obnoxious … a little bit inappropriate or provocative or, yes, offensive?” Students went ballistic. When an administrator (who is the lecturer’s spouse) defended free speech, some students ... more »

The View from Scicli
We were lucky yesterday that Yosi (on the right in photo above) has a dear friend living in Scicli. His friend (on the left in the photo) and his wife (sitting next to him) were for many years ballet dancers. They now teach ballet. They prepared a wonderful meal. Their friend (sitting in the middle) from Bulgaria made the best eggplant (pictured above) I've had in years. The view from their terrazzo of the surrounding hills was magnifico!

Free Planet - the reality of living on a still-cooling lump of molten rock - 120,000 year cycle of renewal
