The Triumph of Narrative Over Truth: The Link Between 9/11 And The U.S. Presidential Race

Alternative party presidential candidates Gary Johnson and Jill Stein told
more truths about American society and American politics in *eight minutes

Romney did in their first debate, which was over 1 and a half hours long.
The popularity of both Obama and Romney is dependent upon media propaganda

As we survey your world we find that your personal awakening is growing
stronger, and people are more ready to speak amongst themselves about
Ascension. There are obviously difficulties in conveying what it is going
to mean to each individual, but at least a seed of knowledge is sown and it
will grow. Naturally there are plans to give out information on a wide
scale, to ensure that people understand what a wonderful opportunity is
being given to every single soul. There will still be some disbelief or

Paul Ryan's fake photo ops
Libby Spencer at The Impolitic - 5 hours ago

Paul Ryan is a textbook narcissist. He loves his photo ops so much he's
willing to bully his way into pretending to wash dishes at a food kitchen
without getting permission through the proper channels. Which didn't sit so
well with the director of the charity:
Brian J. Antal, president of the Mahoning County St. Vincent De Paul
Society, said that he was not contacted by the Romney campaign ahead of the
Saturday morning visit by Ryan, who stopped by the soup kitchen after a
town hall at Youngstown State University.
He added: “The photo-op they did wasn’t even accu... more »

Koch - The Courage to Force Others to Vote for Rmoney
2old2care at Because I Can - 5 hours ago
There has been a lot of press about the InTheseTimes article about the Koch
brothers using their influence and power to strong arm their employees to
vote for RMoney – to goosestep to the polls and raise their arm and yell –
"Heil Koch" - as they pull the lever/push the button to destroy the USA.
Why - because Mitt-Wit can't win on his own.
Why - cause Lyng Ryan can't win on his own.
Absolutely nothing between the two of them - so they have to steal the
election anyway that they can.

Perhaps the most obvious distortion from "Ayn" was on unemployment. He

Bad advice for NZ
Peter Cresswell at Not PC - 6 hours ago
Various monetary cranks in both politics and journalism continue to advise
that the best way for NZ to get richer is to make our currency poorer. To
make it poorer by the simple expedient of diluting its value with
truckloads of new paper, to be spent on white elephants of their
choice—combined with Muldoonist “capital controls” requiring the permission
of the state to transfer your own money abroad.
This advice for the Greeks, appearing today at the Mises Daily, is just as

The Folly of Subsidizing Retail
Kenneth Thomas at Middle Class Political Economist - 7 hours ago
Next to giving subsidies for a company to relocate, or to prevent it from
locating, the lease defensible common use of investment incentives is for
retail. Why should this be? Let me count the ways.
Most importantly, retail is a derivative economic activity, as David Cay
Johnston says. A location's population and income determine how much retail
it can support. For this reason, the apparent job creation of retail
subsidies is completely phantom, as sales and jobs are simply transferred
from older stores to newer locations. The best proof of this is contained
in a groundbreaking stud... more »

Rehabilitative prospects a mitigating factor in sentencing
James C Morton at Morton's Musings - 12 hours ago
R. v. Gouliaeff, 2012 ONCA 690 is a good source for the principle that
rehabilitative prospects are a mitigating factor in sentencing:
[12] The trial judge's reasons for sentence reveal that he considered the
appellant's rehabilitative potential. The evidentiary record indicates that
the appellant made some efforts to comply with the law regarding the proper
storage of firearms and there appears to be little prospect of his
reoffending. However, the reasons suggest that the appellant's
rehabilitative prospects were treated as a neutral factor or "non-issue" -
