Children of the Sun
All life requires energy to survive, and our primary source of energy is the sun, a fireball of nuclear fusion. On Earth, the plant people absorb this energy and convert it into simple carbohydrates. Humans and other animals extract these nutrients from edible plants, and/or from the flesh of plant eating animals. Alfred Crosby’s book, *Children of the Sun*, presents a history of how humans access energy. It’s a good companion to his earlier book, Throwing Fire, a history of projectile use, spanning from thrown stones to nuclear weapons. Both discuss the rapid acceleration o... more »

“Washington’s War on 'Washing Machines’”
*“Washington’s War on 'Washing Machines’”* by Bill Bonner "The US president gave his assessment of the situation Tuesday night. No mention was made of the fact that the country is going broke…or that rising interest rates threaten the fake-money system…or that tax cuts, along with additional military, infrastructure, and entitlement spending, will surely bring on a financial calamity…or that his protectionist trade policies will raise consumer prices, drive up interest rates even further, and depress output. *Trade war: *Spoiled for choice, today, let us look more closely at trade ... more »
"The Earth’s Magnetic Field Is Shifting, Poles May Flip: 'This Could Get Bad'”
*"The Earth’s Magnetic Field Is Shifting, Poles May Flip:* * 'This Could Get Bad'”* by Tyler Durden "“The shield that protects the Earth from solar radiation is under attack from within. We can’t prevent it, but we ought to prepare…” is the ominous sub-headline of a worrisome new report that shows scientists around the world fearing that the earth’s magnetic field is shifting, with potentially disastrous consequences for mankind. “When next the poles change places, the consequences for the electrical and electronic infrastructure that runs civilization will be dire.

White House 'to release' secret memo on FBI and the BBC News are not happy
Read this BBC report on the 'secret memo' http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-42910377 and feel the panic. The BBC did their best to not report on the memo, but then it became impossible to ignore. So the BBC concentrated on rubbishing the report and casting as much doubt as possible upon it. If the memo is made public I'll be interested how the BBC continue to report the attacks on the memo rather than what the memo says. I'd pity the BBC were they not such biased scum.
CIA Director Pompeo Defends His Meetings With Russian Intel Chiefs Last Week
*Reuters:* *CIA Director Pompeo defends meetings with Russian spy chiefs* WASHINGTON (Reuters) - CIA Director Mike Pompeo on Thursday defended the practice of meeting with Russian spy chiefs, following reports that top U.S. intelligence officials last week met a Kremlin spymaster who is under U.S. sanctions. “We periodically meet with our Russian intelligence counterparts for the same reason our predecessors did - to keep Americans safe,” Pompeo said in a letter to Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer. There is nothing “untoward” about such meetings, he said. “We cover very di... more »
SCARY THOUGHT
CNN reports that Christopher Wray has the White House worried: Top White House aides are worried FBI Director Christopher Wray could quit if the highly controversial Republican memo alleging the FBI abused its surveillance tools is released, multiple sources with knowledge of the situation tell CNN. Wray has made clear he is frustrated that President Donald Trump picked him to lead the FBI after he fired FBI Director James Comey in May, yet his advice on the Nunes memo is being disregarded and cast as part of the purported partisan leadership of the FBI, according to a senior law e... more »

Feb. 1: This whole blog is summed in the final paragraph.
Well, I watched the Trump State of the Union Address. At first, I thought it was just his usual exercise in self-praise (most of it quite undeserved). Then the reality sank in. This was a classic, Hitler speech. Americans, in this speech, were a superior people. Ordinary Americans work hard unlike, one has to presume, the cheap and dangerous labour that American corporations (and Canadian ones) inflict on those lazy adults (and children) all over South America, Africa and Asia - for salaries far beneath needs. But the message was clear. Americans are a superior people - a message e... more »

FISA Memo...

Tearing Down the Facade of Legitimacy: Industrial Agriculture and the Agrochemical Industry
CounterPunch, RINF, Countercurrents, Global Research If you value my work,* please read this* The chemical-intensive industrial model of agriculture has secured the status of ‘thick legitimacy’. This status stems from on an intricate web of processes successfully spun in the scientific, policy and political arenas. It status allows the model to persist and appear normal and necessary. This perceived legitimacy derives from the lobbying, financial clout and political power of agribusiness conglomerates which, throughout the course of the last century (and continued today), set out ... more »

"Losing Sight"
*"Losing Sight"* by May Jeong "Asadabad, the sylvan capital of Kunar province in eastern Afghanistan, has a population of more than 30,000 but the feel of a village. Little happens there without being noticed. Were you out surveying the bazaar on September 7, 2013, you might have seen eight men, three women, and four young children climb into a red Toyota pickup. Most were members of an extended family, returning home after running errands. The pickup was just large enough to accommodate the women and children, with the men piled into the back alongside the sacks of flour they had ... more »

The Kremlin List is without the most famous man in the Kremlin
It seems that anyone in Russia who is, or is reputed to be a billionaire is automatically on the list. This seems to be the case irrespective of whether they are pro-Putin or not.

Impressive live sound effects
An e-mail from reader Greg B. drew my attention to a performance by the choir of Kearsney College, a boarding school for boys in the Kwazulu-Natal province of South Africa, during the World Choir Games in 2008. I've driven through Botha's Hill, where the college is situated. Alan Paton, world-famous author of "Cry, the Beloved Country", retired there, and lived there until his death. However, I wasn't aware of Kearsney College's choir. It seems to have come to prominence after I left South Africa. Thanks, Greg, for bringing that video to our attention. Peter
