Bulgarian government silently moves to open almost half of Pirin National Park to construction despite public concerns
Sofia, 29 December 2017 - In a surreptitious move, the government of Bulgaria approved on Thursday alarming new changes to the Pirin National Park management plan that could allow construction in up to 48 per cent of the park, a World Heritage site home to bears, chamois, wolves and centuries-old pine forests. The decision, announced a few days before Bulgaria takes over the Presidency of the Eur
WWF welcomes China's national carbon emission trading system
Beijing, 21 December 2017 – China's nationwide carbon emission trading system, launched on 19 December, marks an important step toward promoting a low carbon transition in the world's leading emitter of CO 2 , according to WWF. Szeping LO, CEO of WWF-China , says the emissions trading system (ETS) could provide new impetus for China's low carbon development and the country's transition toward a l
TRAFFIC Study: Japan's ivory market must close
Well-organized transnational criminal networks and a poorly regulated domestic market are among the factors making Japan a lucrative target for procuring ivory products for illegal export.

Japan remains one of the world's largest

Tom DeLong, Disclosure and an Analytical History of UFOs
It would seem that Tom DeLong’s program has had some success and I wonder if his status as a member of Blink 182 didn’t provide him with access to some high-level people that the rest of us might not have enjoyed. At any rate, just recently, those he had been working with, and who talked about a sighting along with gun camera film made by Navy fighter pilots, was confirmed by the Pentagon. In fac
Socorro UFO Landing - Fused Sand and More
There have been questions raised about aspects of this case that are buried in documentation that can be found in many locations. Given the questions about Mary Mayes and the "fused sand," I thought I would publish some of that documentation to prove its existence and let others bring their own interpretations to it. First up is from The A.P.R.0. Bulletin of May, 1964, and provides one of the hin
Mary Mayes and the Fused Sand... Again
I had planned on this being just a note attached in the comments, but there was too much information and I thought the illustrations were important to understanding this aspect of the case. There is absolutely no evidence that Mary Mayes found the fused sand at the landing site. I have been back over the 400 pages of Blue Book files (both the official files and the unofficial briefing files) and

In the last several days, there has been something of a controversy raging about the Socorro UFO landing.

We have talked about the possibility of a hoax in the Socorro UFO landing case. We have, or at least I have, thought that the idea of a student hoax has been rejected as implausible. There were way too many moving parts that required way too many unpredictable actions to be a reasonable scenario. From the very beginning, it required Lonnie Zamora to react in a way the students needed him to react

I was going to provide these answers to Lance and purrgurrl in the comments section but they really are a little too complex for that.

Hat Tip: Thanks Dave The ongoing collapse of King Salmon in Alaska is once again in the news: Nathaniel Herz (2017, Dec 29).

Russian Hacking and the "Permanent Emergency"
Sometimes I find a book, article, or poem that provides a catharsis because it so resonates with my analysis of, and emotional tenor towards, some critical issue of the day. The following analysis of the Russian Hacking meme by Jackson Lears is one of those cathartic essays. One must read it in full to appreciate the full scope of his analysis but I will except a brief passage here: Lears, Jackso
Fukushima's Lost Childhoods
I was searching for information today for a project I'm writing on the social justice issues surrounding chronic exposure to elevated levels of radiation. Lost childhood is one among the many effects documented in reports by NGOs submitted to the United Nations Commission on Human Rights: Nature deprivation syndrome. Lost childhood by the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant Accident. http://www.ohchr.o
The Poison Papers: Disregard for the People's Will
Hat Tip: Thanks Dave! Protecting human health and the environment upon which we depend should be our top priority if we value long-term human survival. Unfortunately, long-term survival is systematically de-prioritized in chemical development and deployments. Regulatory failure is illustrated by systematic gaps in the hazards regulated in legislation. A number of years ago one of my graduate stud

Happy New Year
It's been quite a year. And I make no predictions about the one to come. I do now that it will -- at least where we are -- start out cold. Beyond that, my crystal ball is foggy. But each new year brings the possibility of hope and wisdom. May you experience both in 2018. Image: happynewyear2018x.com
Silence Means Consent
Justin Trudeau's silence is deafening. As Donald Trump steamrolls the UN, Trudeau keeps his mouth shut. Michael Harris writes : In case you missed it, Trump just tried to turn the UN General Assembly into a congregation of whores. Faced with world-wide opposition to his Jerusalem decision, Trump reverted to Goodfellas rules: If other countries dared to denounce him over a foreign policy decision
Dionne On Democracy
As the year comes to an end, E.J. Dionne writes a meditation on Democracy. He starts with first principles: In embracing democracy, as the historian James Kloppenberg has written, we are standing up for three contested principles: popular sovereignty, autonomy and equality. We are also embracing three premises: deliberation, pluralism and reciprocity. Certain things follow from those three premis
Segal's Right
I admire Hugh Segal. He has always had the courage to speak truth to power. In this morning's Globe and Mail he advocates welcoming the many Haitians who are presently fleeing the United States: There are commitments that involve more or less risk, and more or less genuine impact. Often, when a country acts clearly and decisively in a way that underlines its own values, that is when its impact is
Ain't No Daddy At All
Much has been written about the return to fascism under Donald Trump. But, Henry Giroux writes , not much ink has been spilled on the subject of Trump's war on children: Finance capitalism now drives politics, governance and policy in unprecedented ways. And it’s more than willing to sacrifice the future of young people for short-term political and economic gains, if not democracy itself. In an a
Will They Do It?
Eugene Robinson writes that many people feared what would happen in the first year of Donald Trump's presidency. It turns out that the year was worse than they feared: Many of us began 2017 with the consoling thought that the Donald Trump presidency couldn’t possibly be as bad as we feared. It turned out to be worse. Did you ever think you would hear a president use the words “very fine people” t

Sunday... Last Sunday of 2017, And as usual, time once again for my weekly rant.. First, I do want to wish everyone a "Happy New Year".... The year 2018 will indeed be most interesting, and honestly I am deeply troubled by what the world is looking like at the close of 2017 and what will probably happen in this upcoming year....

Baby, Its Cold Outside: "Global Warming"? Not A Chance With Record Cold Snap Now Putting That Lie Out Of Its Misery
I have received several emails, and have seen some other real truth seekers put out some of their own articles, about the near record "cold snap" that has now engulfed almost all of Canada, and the United States as well.... I figure I would chime in on what is really happening with this intense cold and how it indeed should put the lie of "Global Warming" aka "Climate Change" out of its misery onc
Opioids And The Crisis Of The White Working Class
Every day up here in central Canada, I read report after report about people dying from "Opioid overdoses" and I have long wondered about exactly WHO would be behind such a diabolical and sickening epidemic that presently is killing so many Canadians that it has become a major nationwide crisis..... Well, what I am about to present here answers that question, and it may shock a lot of readers....
Important Health News: The Great Virus Hoax In Modern Medicine
*I have been extremely busy this week, especially with time being spent with family and friends to celebrate this time of year... I decided to take another of those "me days" yesterday and NOT do any blogging or read much coming off the Internet.... I am doing my best at getting articles up here when I can, so please bear with me.... Just the other day, a family member came down with "flu like sy
At This Time Of Year, With All Of The Christmas, New Years, Celebrations - Remember The People Of Yemen That Are Brutally Suffering Thanks To The US And Saudis!
Well, I just spent the last two days visiting the inlaws, outlaws, family, etc, etc... And honestly I am wiped out...... I did my usual Christmas feast this year, and I cooked "up a storm" with a wide variety of food and delicacies...... It was a tremendous success, but so much of a drain and so time consuming... But it was worth it as my family absolutely loved it! Yes, Christmas was indeed yeste
Northerntruthseeker Rant For Sunday, December 24th, 2017
Sunday once again.. And after a most interesting and gruelling week, it is time for my weekend rant.. First and foremost... I do want to wish all of my readers a warm felt Merry Christmas... I have long said that even though I know every single religion are nothing but frauds and forms of mind control, the TRUE MEANING of Christmas should be first and foremost in everyone's minds and their hearts

What's with Jerusalem?
You could read many thousands of words about the Realpolitik of the decision to recognise Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, and several thousand more about the outrage in reaction thereto. Or you could just read this from Ali Rivzi , aka The Atheist Muslim : "The truth about why Jerusalem has been such a nexus of conflict & bloodshed for billions of Jewish, Christian & Islamic mythologists is r
Happy Christmas -- from Frank Lloyd Wright and us!
Architect Frank Lloyd Wright used to send out his poetic Christmas message every year. So I do too. He called it “Man the Enlightened Being.” “The herd disappears and reappears," says Wright's message, "but the sovereignty of the individual persists." What better time of year to take time out to reflect on that.* L iterature tells about man. Architecture presents him. The Architecture that our ma
QotD: "The secular meaning of the Christmas holiday ... "
"The secular meaning of the Christmas holiday is wider than the tenets of any particular religion: it is good will toward men... “The charming aspect of Christmas is the fact that it expresses good will in a cheerful, happy, benevolent, non-sacrificial way. One says: ‘Merry Christmas’—not ‘Weep and Repent.’ And the good will is expressed in a material, earthly form—by giving presents to one’s fri
QotD: "They’ve always been here. But not everybody’s joining up."
"Terrorism has ... come of age with the millennial generation. The Islamic State ... is miles from the Al Qaeda it grew out of. Its supporters aren’t coming from Afghanistan, Iraq, or Pakistan anymore. They’re living in Belgium, France, Britain, and ... even the United States. They’re not refugees or illegal immigrants. They’re legal, passport-carrying, Western-born or naturalised citizens of our
Holiday reading
It's that time of year again when I try to prune my book stack to take away. Because how many books can you fit in a small backpack. And this year I genuinely thought the only important summer reading to do was to re-read Thomas Sowell's brilliant trilogy on race and culture and migration and conquest -- because what could be more relevant, right! But the book stack just kept right on growing ...
QoTD: How behavioural economics misbehaves
"McKenzie explained behavioural economics thus 'The moral of my sequence of classroom experiments is simple: You can easily prove that people are irrational if you tightly constrain the choice environment, barring choosers from knowing what others are doing, preventing choosers from correcting errant decisions, and ensuring that 'bad' choices do not have economic (and monetary) consequences, with
