Why Does The FBI Still Refuse To Release Their Investigation Of David Joyce's Cocaine Abuse?
Andrew Rayburn (r) bought some sports teams, a jet and a crooked

Some people say Ohio Congressman David Joyce has kicked his cocaine
addiction and is no longer a substance abuser. But not everyone who knows
Joyce agrees. Joyce became so obsessed with 2 Live Crew when he was on a
jihad against their music that started... living the life. He's become a
notorious corporate whore in Washington and everyone on K Street-- which is salivating
at the prospect that Republican congressional gains next week will bring
them more David Joyces-- knows he'll roll over if the price i... more »

U.S. Secretary of Defense Hagel Talks About The Threats And Long Term Challenges Facing The United States

From ISIS to climate change, the Pentagon chief says, the threats that face
the United States are long-term challenges. Sometimes it feels like what's
happening now, at any given moment, is bigger, more important, worse, and
more dangerous than before.
Luckily, that often turns out to be incorrect: Today's news is tomorrow's

that would compel the Assad regime to negotiate a political deal and end

Delusional Christian Zionists proclaim blind love for Jews, Israel
An article recently appearing in *The Jerusalem Post* described the

*The War Against Islamic State: The Kurdish Stalingrad -- The Economist*
Kobane has acquired huge symbolic significance for all those fighting for it

repeat the Stalingrad resistance in Kobane.” The words of Polat Can, a

Native Americans Have West Eurasian Origins 24000BP
We too easily forget that modern east asians are all local varients that
had population booms because of really good luck and local agricultural
success. The bad news is that all our speculation regarding an european
influx in the last three thousand years has just become more speculatative.
All such overlays were ultimately onto a first population that likely is
best described as Ice Age steppe eurasian from which sucessor populations
arose including european, chinese and all other asian tribal groups that

Edward Snowden Speaks: A Sneak Peek at an Exclusive Interview
The Edward Snowden affair has seriously cooled down now and that is a good
thing. After all, the content is long stale and no longer relevant as
secrecy if much of it ever was. What was outed was the illegal collection
of all data by the NSA. We needed to know that. The data itself is
naturally so massive that it is massivily inaccessible unless you can
target what you know already. You must miss what you do not know.

Metal-Based Graphene Alternative "Shines"
We have only begun the long process of producing single layered substates
of the many prospective material available. The surprises produced by
graphene has shown us that this can be a very profitable endeavor.
Long before graphene, I considered this to be the great natural research
frontier of chemistry and physics and to be extremely important. Things
hinted at in the test tube blossom on the etching surface. Today momentum
continues to build and makes a bright future for empirical science.
Here we now have a light emitting substate that will find applications.

The Origins of the Southeast's "Doctored" Colonial Era History
This is an interesting snapshot of the chicanery underway in the process

Kobani, on the border with Turkey, has been encircled by the Sunni Muslim

*Afghan cleric jailed for raping 11-year-old girl at mosque school*
KABUL: An Afghan cleric has been jailed for 20 years for raping an 11-year
old girl, officials said Sunday, after the child confronted her attacker in
court despite fierce family opposition.
Activists said the girl appeared in court after being taken to a women’s
shelter for safety from her own family, who had threatened to kill her for
bringing “dishonour” on them.
The sentence, passed by a court in Kabul on Saturday, came just weeks after
five men were hanged for the gang-rape of four adult women.

allied aircraft — has cost $580 million, said Pentagon spokesman Commander
Bill Urban.
The Defense Department had previously put the average daily cost of the
military operation at more than $7 million a day. The high... more »

*ThinkProgress caption: "Dr. Francys Johnson with the NAACP leads an
occupation of the Georgia State Capitol to protest voter suppression."*
*by Ken*
Howie has been manning the 2014 voter-suppression beat, which following
recent custom has been one of the big stories of the election campaign, or
at least it should have been. It matters even more in an election with so
many races that are looking so close in states that are so polarized that
each side's voter turnout could be the deciding factor.
Nevertheless, despite occasional minor setbacks to the Republican
voter-suppression ju... more »
How to deal with the growing incentives competition
This article was originally published in the *Columbia FDI Perspectives*
series of the Columbia Center for Sustainable Investment, #131, September
29. I have left it largely unchanged, except for adding a link and a
comment, and correcting a grammatical error.
As I discussed in an earlier *Perspective*,[1] the use of investment
incentives is pervasive and growing. The most recent example [this was
completed prior to the Tesla auction] of a big bidding war was when Boeing
threatened to move production of its 777-X aircraft out of Washington
state, prompting some 20 states to offer ... more »
Editor's Note
This is just a reminder to all of my regular readers that I am busy
finishing up on a web-project .... so blogging is going to be light for the
next few days (I should be finished by this Sunday). As for right now ....
alas .... blogging will return tomorrow morning.
The Anatomy of Compromise
It’s supposed to be a virtue to compromise.
Most of the time people say this, they don’t mean compromise: they often
just mean recognising what’s most important, and not losing it to what’s
least important.
Compromise isn’t always wrong though. “A compromise is an adjustment of
conflicting claims by mutual concessions. This means that both parties to a
compromise have some valid claim and some value to offer each other. And
*this* means that both parties agree upon some fundamental principle which
serves as a base for their deal.”1
Simple enough.
But so often compromise sacrif... more »
Eisenhower Remembered (No Labels Scam) Upon Winning This Election, Republicans Target Rest of Consumer Protections (Why You Must Vote Against It Once You Understand The Deep State's Implications) Supporting Slave Labor
Has the U.S. Republican party (and associated Blue Dog Democrats) truly
lost their minds since Eisenhower's presidency? The original passage, from
a letter Eisenhower wrote to his brother Edgar on Nov. 8, 1954, went as
follows: Should any political party attempt to abolish social security,
unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you
would not hear of that party

*Wishful Thinking In The U.S. Plans Against The Islamic State -- David
Ignatius, Washington Post*
A glimpse of the anxiety sweeping the Arab world surfaced last week when an
Arab woman complained during a talk in Amman at the Columbia Global Center
for the Middle East. She said my speech’s title about the “crisis” in the
region wasn’t accurate. The correct word was “disintegration.” The audience
cheered loudly.
The Arab world is suffering a sense of vertigo these days. Extremists from
the Islamic State, who have seemingly arisen out of nowhere, have burst
through the gates of pow... more »
Guest Post By Mikel Weisser, A Progressive Running In Arizona's Back Country
Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ), Cliven Bundy and crackpot state Senator Kelli Ward
(R-AZ)
Let me introduce you to a new name, a new candidate you probably never
heard of, not even if you're live in the district he's running in, AZ-04,
Arizona's reddest (R+20) district-- Prescott and almost everything between
Phoenix and California. The Democrat taking on right-wing ideologue Paul
Gosar this year is Mikel Weisser. He's not going to win in 7 days. But he
is doing something the DCCC would never dream of-- building towards a
future Democratic take-over of the district. Meet Mikel:

Why westerners are joining jihadis
It’s been widely noted that recruits to jihad and Islamic State come
overwhelmingly not from the poor and downtrodden struggling under
Middle-East dictatorships, but are often well-fed, well-educated
middle-class citizens who have grown up in western countries – suggesting
something lacking in what these well-fed folk absorbed in their western
education, and maybe what they see from the west’s alleged “leaders.”
US Secretary of State John Kerry for example seems to want to outdo his
predecessor in the competition for being the least informed Secretary of
State this decade, claimin... more »
David Parker had a dream!
Once upon a time, Labour-leader wannabe David Parker had a dream.
It’s a dream he’s still reluctant to abandon. The problem is not his tax,
he claims, just the “glitches” he had in selling it. In other words, the
problem with the tax was the sales pitch, not that it was “soak the rich.”
He – or at least those contemplating voting for him – might care to read
some recent research from the Canadian Fraser Institute: saying Canada's
capital gains taxes hurt economy…
“While capital gains taxes raise a small amount of revenues for government,
they do so at considerable economic cost ... more »
