Mommy, How Did The Tea Party Start?
If we were alive back in the 1770s, today's Tea Party activists would
probably have been active back then too-- but active on behalf of the
British. Conservatives fought against the revolutionaries who wanted to
throw off the British imperial yoke and many conservatives would up
fighting on the side of the British troops, killing patriots. Today's Tea
Partiers would have been those traitors to America.

Sentence appeals
R. v. Lu, 2013 ONCA 324 holds:
[37] Before dealing with these submissions, it is important to recall
the role of an appellate court when reviewing a sentencing decision.
Appellate courts are to grant sentencing judges considerable deference when
reviewing the fitness of a sentence. They are to interfere only where the
sentence is demonstrably unfit, or where it reflects an error in principle,
the failure to consider a relevant factor or the over-emphasis of a
relevant factor. An appellate court cannot interfere with the sentence
simply because it would have weighed the re... more »

U.S. PREPARED FOR WAR WITH IRAN AS ISRAEL BOMBED SYRIA
Israel bombed Syria on 2 and 5 May 2013 and the next day, as the world
waited for a reaction from Syria, Hezbollah and Iran, the US began a
massive war exercise in the Persian Gulf close to Iran. Since President
Obama has said that the US was in ‘very close contact with Israel’, it is
clear that both the Israeli raids on Syria and the US military exercise in
the Gulf were planned to coincide.
Unfortunately for the warmongers in the West, neither Syria, Hezbollah nor
Iran took the bait. Despite this, Israel has said that it will try again to

whole operation from scratch.

of the symbolic nature of the date, its connection to the 9/11 false flag,

The Blue Dogs are a discredited, spent force, essentially wiped out in the
Great Blue Dog Apocalypse of 2010 when Democratic voters in their districts

On Rare Birds and New Democrats
BC NDP leader Adrian Dix is a rare bird. Or at least he would have been a
rare bird if he'd actually won last night. For that would have been his
party's fourth win in the 15-provincial elections staged since they were
formed in 1960. As things stand this morning that puts the NDP at an
underwhelming 3 for 15 in win/loss.
In a three or four-way contest, one out of five isn't great but it wouldn't
be devastating, not necessarily. But in a two-way contest that means your
opponent has won four times as often as you which is awfully close to
one-party rule. And when you look at... more »
The fuller transcript of what Brokaw said!
*WEDNESDAY, MAY 15, 2013*
*Gaze on your broken world:* We once saw Tom Brokaw live and in person.
We’re fairly sure it was Inaugural Day 2001. (It may have been Inaugural
Day 2005.)
We saw him walk into a makeshift studio in DC surrounded by a small
entourage. We noticed that he seemed to be wearing extremely nice clothes.
Money and fame will do that for a person. But what can those attributes do *
to* a person?

NAZI WEALTH TODAY
In November 1942, the top Nazis decided it was unlikely that Germany would
win the war.
In May 1943, the Nazi leaders adopted a plan to 'go underground'.
*Paul Manning's Martin Bormann Nazi in Exile | Lys-d'Or*
By August 1944, Martin Bormann was ready to transfer the Nazi's stolen
wealth (gold, money, stocks, paintings, bearer bonds, blue chips...) into
750 new corporations in countries such as Belgium, Holland, Sweden,
Luxembourg, Switzerland and Argentina.
Martin Bormann also made use of I.G. Farben to hide the Nazi loot.

Young Voting Update

We're talking a suburb of 17K citizens, so it's not exactly a ton of 16 and

Why Anbar’s Sheikh Ali Hatem Sulaiman Joined Iraq’s Protest Movement
Sheikh Ali Hatem Sulaiman is one of the leaders of the Dulaim tribe, one of
the largest in western Iraq that stretches into neighboring Jordan.
Sulaiman has attached himself to the protest movement in Anbar, and has
become known for his inflammatory speeches. It wasn’t that long ago
however, that the sheikh was an ally of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. His
path that led him from a supporter to an opponent of the government is due
to Sulaiman’s opportunism, and desire to become a prominent sheikh
throughout Iraq like his grandfather once was.

Bacteria Makes Mosquitoes Malaria Resistent
In the end we are attempting to change the parasite's environment to
suppress the population. We have seen more apparently promising strategies
that remain somewhat thwarted, so optimism here is difficult. Yet it is one
more new strategy that may surprise us.
I think that we can bring down the level of general infection load to a
point that the effect can be minimized with methods like this. After all,
that is what has happened with HIV.
Neither malaria or HIV is cured today however promising present efforts
appear. Yet we do understand that suppressing the load suffi... more »
Joint Oil has Two week Dwell
It matches naturally occurring synovial fluid for starters and has a
minimal two week dwell time in the joint itself against two days for
present solutions. This begins to be practical for sufferers to use
regularly.
I have watched this problem go from no therapy and by that I exclude pain
killers, to the condriton assist and now to an injectable replacement
therapy. Non of it naturally replaces damage but that is coming along also.
A human being requires the full use of his joints to avoid general
deterioration and this work is important. Ultimately a complete solutio... more »
Bronze Water Screw Used at Ninevah
The wonder is that we have a valid and convincing archaeological target
for something that likely rivaled the Great Pyramid.
What is important however is that we have a seventh century reference to
the screw for hydraulic lifting. It appeared obvious that this would be
true, just as it appears obvious that all hydraulic engineering was
available for the duration of the Bronze Age or at least to 2500 BC. This
is not something too difficult to invent over and over again although the
screw itself is hardly obvious while the walking water wheel certainly is.

Gel Organism Related to lightening
This phenomena keeps popping up. In this case it is associated with a
lightening discharge. In the past it has been associated with meteor events
also but it is all about a passage through the atmosphere producing a
killing shock event able to knock out objects contained in the atmosphere.
In this case, what we are finding is a gel like remnant of what we presume
was a living entity.
My conjecture is that we are looking at a methane filled slime mold
bladder capable of reaching the Stratosphere that forms up in wet lands
before becoming airborne. This sample is suggesti... more »

OXFORD CHILD ABUSE RING - PROTECTED BY THE GOVERNMENT?
Has yet another *government-run child abuse ring* been discovered?
In the UK, the Oxford Sex Ring 'groomed, corrupted, *brainwashed* and

aged 11 - 15.
*The girls were sold to customers around the UK.*

No Jewish event can be commemorated without comparing Israel's treatment of the Palestinians with the Nazis' treatment of the Jews - well not by Lynne Jones (@lynnejones_exMP)
Tomorrow is the 70th anniversary of the end of the Warsaw ghetto uprising,
the largest revolt against the Nazis extermination of the Jews during the
Second World War. The revolt was put down but not before 13,000 Jews were
killed in the ghetto during the uprising of which around 6,000 were burnt
alive or died from smoke inhalation. Once the revolt was ended the
remaining 50,000 residents were mostly shipped to concentration and
extermination camps, in particular Treblinka.

Howard Bloom on The Boston Bombing - Was the cause poverty or oppression?
Again and again sensible, logical people point out the truth but the

that the West is always to blame.
Abenomics is a Not an Excuse for Comfort-Women Denialism
One of the traditional responsibilities of sane conservative parties is to

What Does Tonight's Disaster Say About the NDP?
It was the New Dems' election to lose and that's just what they did. They
lost to a government that was roundly despised with a record rich in

Tonight the public's distrust of the NDP trumped its disgust for the
Liberals. Tonight the NDP showed just how soft and unreliable its support
can be and how easily even a rotten rival can pry those voters out of its
hands.

President Ma Ying-jeou's approval rating has fallen to 21 percent from 23

Castro’s decade-long exercise in brutality
[image: image]I saw a headline at *The Age *decrying “Castro’s decade-long

to lionise Castro and Che than recognise their inhumanity. But even as I
clicked the link, I was wondering why it was talking about “decade-long”…
Of course, it wasn’t talking about Fidel Castro’s decades-long imprisonment
