Mission Santa Barbara, knSearching for the Humanity in the Other
The term refugee is thrown around frequently these days, as more individuals continue to flee their homes in search of safety, freedom, and a better life. Unfortunately, when most of us (and the mainstream media) refer to refugees we use dehumanizing language, reducing these people to numbers and statistics. Rather than seeing them for the individuals that they are, we instead refer to them in bulk, describing them in terms of quantity and the amount of resources it will require from us to “accommodate” them. In hopes of reminding us that these refugees, like us, are real people ... more »
Campaign Finance Fraud In Santa Barbara's Congressional Election Likely To Result In Mulitple Prison Terms
*Same as the last generation conservatives-- steeped in ugly corruption* A few weeks ago I blogged about how I was in the middle of investigating a shady campaign finance situation up in Santa Barbara on behalf of an entitled young right-wing up-and-comer, Justin Fareed. Basically what I had discovered was that Fareed is funding his congressional campaign from just a few wealthy families with very special interests involving the healthcare industry. The investigation is still on-going but, basically, Fareed has taken in over $180,000 from eight families representing four healthcare ... more »

Yesterday, Saturday June 4th 2016, Lisa and I had an unscheduled recorded discussion to lay out a whole lotta crazy information that we had been wading through for the past 36 hours. A couple of days ago, a friend sent us some information that she had come across in early 2013 that opened a line of questioning down a rabbit hole that we hadn't looked at before. The basic premise: that on dec 21 2012 "they" inserted the 9/11 false flag "terrorist attacks" BACK into our timeline, thus changing our timeline into a highly violent negative war filled timeline.

Here We Go Again
*WNU editor:* This book is going to be released at the end of this month. Are we going to learn anything new .... I doubt it. But the Millennials who were too young to know anything during the 1990s are now going to learn for the first time all that there is to know about the Clintons when they were the White House. My prediction .... this will have an impact. Many among my generation (I am in my fifties) viewed their behaviour in the 1990s with a ho-him altitude (its all about sex .... so what). But for Millennials .... their view is radically different, and that type of behaviour... more »

Poor Planning And War Led To Huge Increase In Govt Jobs & Pensions In Iraq
A chart provided by Moody’s Investors Service shows a huge growth in public outlaws for civil workers and pensions from 2014 to 2015.

Part of that was due to the war as Baghdad took on paying the Hashd al-Shaabi forces to fight the Islamic State. It was also due to poor planning as the parliament and ruling parties have consistently talked about increasing the number of civil employees to fight unemployment an... more »

But, despite Ali's age and the health ailments that had steadily begun to accumulate over the last third of a century, the shock at his passing is somewhat understandable.

Mark Naison's Comments on "Work Hard, Be Hard. . ."
Posted at *With a Brooklyn Accent*: Jim Horn's new book, "Work Hard, Be Hard: Journeys Through 'No Excuses' Teaching," should be required reading in every school district in the nation. Horn provides a devastating portrait of how what is essentially a Sweatshop model of schooling for children of color attracted huge support from philanthropists-many of whose own companies profited from Sweatshop labor--along with elected officials in both parties. That a model that depends so heavily on intimidation and behavior modification, for teachers as well as students, has become a model, no...more »
Israeli Rabbi Bans Girls Over 5 Years Old From Riding Bikes
A new decree has been introduced in one of Jerusalem’s neighborhoods which forbids all girls over the age of five from riding bicycles. An Ultra-Orthodox Israeli rabbi claims the activity is “provocative” and could “cause serious damage to their modesty.” RT reports: The rabbi is from Jerusalem’s Nahloat district and part of the ultra-Orthodox Haredi branch of Judaism that rejects modern secular culture. His ruling was distributed to a number of synagogues. “We inform parents that they are obligated to forbid their daughters from age five and up from acting in this illegitimate way,... more »

The California Republican Party does not allow the millions of Decline To State voters (independents) to vote in their primaries. The Democratic Party does. A new poll from the *L.A.

Scottish Parliament Votes In Favour Of Outright Fracking Ban
The Scottish Parliament voted to support an outright ban on fracking on Wednesday Scottish National party MSPs abstained following a debate that gave a strong indication of the changed nature of the new Holyrood chamber. While the vote is not a binding policy it represents a defeat for the SNP which supports a moratorium on fracking but has stopped short of backing a full ban. OilPrice.com reports: Legislators affiliated with the Scottish National Party chose to abstain from the vote, which prompted its fellow liberal parties to call on the group’s leaders to clarify its position on ... more »
Ethanol makes the EU leader very happy
*The EU is as capable of hiding basic facts as the USSR* One year ago, on May 21st and 22nd, 2015, some politicians gathered at the "EU-Eastern" summit in Riga, Latvia.

A video was offered at that time. Juncker and Orbán had some quality time and they behaved in an exceedingly friendly way.

Why Obama Suddenly Decided to Cozy up With Cuba—It Wasn't Warm and Fuzzy Feelings With Norn Chomsky
The American handling of Cuba was foolish from the beginning and essentially wrong headed. Yet it was sustained for one excuse after another. The sheer weight of time should have opened other avenues yet it did not. Here we discover that it actually got worse after the demise of the USSR. That was not obvious. Now we learn that this failed policy in combination with the clearly failed drug war has served to unite the entire hemisphere in opposition to the USA. I do think that the Drug War was the actual key while Cuba provided easy leverage for the opposition. Thus we have t... more »

Major Eruption Imminent? Earthquake Swarms Reported At Mt. Hood, Mt. Rainier And Mt. St. Helens
What all this is really telling us is that something is causing a crustal contraction that has triggered magma movement all along the ring of fire. Something somewhere has triggered all this. Yet is may be an orthogonal shift intersecting the ring itself that has altered the dynamics sufficiently to induce a moving disturbance throughout the whole ring. The succession of quakes also suggests as much. This may even happen every century or two in order to offset the build up from Atlantic seafloor spreading. It is then terribly low level but still causing activity. More dis... more »

That is certainly indicated by observations of UFOs. As posted before I am now certain the the USA secret spac... more »

A New Form of Light
This is really interesting. Considering that I am modeling all photons as bundles of two dimensional ribbons that can combine end to end or side edge to side edge and may even be in the form of loops as well in the free form. Such a construction allows a ray to be expanded easily into a tube. That the ribbons likely spiral around the axis is also a natural consequence. Again new work continues to fit nicely in to my body of conjectures in suggestive ways. This also explains how easy it is to use encoded photons to inscribe electrons and inscribed electrons to produce encode... more »
US job creation in May falls to lowest in five years per BBC News
Dreadful job figures out of the USA and the Obama worshipping BBC manage to report this http://www.bbc.com/news/business-36444516 without even mentioning the current US government. Somehow I doubt that the release of similar figures under a Republican president would not have included criticism of their policies. Of course in the UK similarly bad figures at this time would have been blamed on uncertainty over membership of the EU. It would be a mistake to confuse the BBC with an unbiased news reporting entity.
A Socialist Case for Remain
Let's be clear. Voting remain is voting for the status quo. There is no welcoming political dawn around the corner, it is quite simply supporting what we have now with all its problems and possibilities. The judgement then is on the basis of whether the present is worth defending (or clinging on to in case of something worse), or if exiting is a better option in the long run. That's how the Remain and Leave camps have put it with greater or lesser degrees of hysteria. For socialists, however, this is not enough. There is a relation between political actions and political interests, ... more »

June 3: A long one, I'm afraid.
I have stopped following the U.S. leadership races. I have no desire to watch a nation in steep decay. Both Trump and Clinton almost entirely ignore the real problems facing the U.S. such as the sharp rise of poverty, a medical care system based on profit rather than healing with the result that the rich live ten years and more longer than the poor. Medical costs are also the leading cause of bankruptcy among the elderly. There's also the massive corruption that has effectively destroyed the political parties. Trump appears to be a thorough scoundrel with a long record of cheating on... more »
Mantel, Ruppelt and Blue Book
Bob Koford inadvertently opened a can of worms with a couple of his comments about the Mantell case. Using much of the Project Blue Book case file, he suggested that the balloon explanation didn’t work because the balloon was only at 20,000 feet and that a witness at Vanderbilt University had been watching it but saw no sign of Thomas Mantell’s F-51. Besides, the information suggested that Mantell hadn’t climbed above 20,000 feet and that he had left his wing men at Mantell15,000 in his attempt to get closer to the UFO. This didn’t match much of what I remembered about the case and ... more »

Yep at least 20% is Jewish if you belie... more »

* This is my article in BusinessWorld last May 26, 2016. Many people are getting impatient with gross domestic product (GDP) growth data, especially growth rates of 6% or higher, saying these numbers are “irrelevant”, “useless”, “misleading”, and “mean nothing” to their lives. Stronger criticisms of GDP growth numbers include “jobless growth” and “outright lies” that paint a rosy picture of an otherwise thorny and despicable society.
