Banking union will not end Europe's crisis

Eurozone leaders held a summit last week that was important, but not for

What has been decided will change the future of Europe. The banking union
is a tool so powerful that it could unite the core of the EU. But it will
also separate it from the rest. It is more useful to think of the banking
union as a long-term political project than as a tool of crisis resolution.
Depending on your view, it can be monumental or irrelevant.

TSA quietly replaces hated full-body scanners at major airports with 'safer' devices... but moves the old machines to smaller cities
Lynsey at The Coming Crisis - 10 hours ago
The Transportation Security Administration has been quietly removing
x-ray
scanners from airports in major cities like New York, Los Angeles and
Boston and replacing them with newer technology that experts believe is
safer.
However, the TSA is not retiring the controversial backscatter x-ray
machines, which some researchers say could cause cancer in up to 100
fliers
a year. The devices are simply being moved to smaller airports.

*"Thucydides In The Underworld"*
by J. R. Nyquist
"The shade of Thucydides, formerly an Athenian general and historian,
languished in Hades for 24 centuries; and having intercourse with other
spirits, was perturbed by an influx into the underworld of self-described
historians professing to admire his History of the Peloponnesian War. They
burdened him with their writings, priding themselves on the imitation of

"A Spiritual Journey"
"And the world cannot be discovered by a journey of miles,
no matter how long,
but only by a spiritual journey,
a journey of one inch,
very arduous and humbling and joyful,
by which we arrive at the ground at our feet,
and learn to be at home."

"Are You Feeling Stressed Out?"
by Jonathan
"Have you got endless demands tugging at you from all directions? Does your
life seem to be spinning out of control? It’s easy to feel overwhelmed and
stressed out when you can’t ever seem to catch up. Do you think bringing
your life into balance would require a major life change? It may not be as
difficult as what you imagine. Did you realize that, regardless of your
circumstances, a true sense of balance actually comes from within you, not
from your surroundings?

Brutal travel day. Burned to a crisp. Fortunately, looks like it was slow
news day too. Don't have the energy to leap into the twitter mayhem but
made the usual rounds. Atrios captures the essence of the problem in one of
his terse, semi-cryptic posts. Just read it. It's very short. The Galtian
Overlords Don't Know What They're Doing.
Or you might say, they know exactly what they're doing in the moment, but
don't understand the consequences of what they do. I see no evidence the
law of diminishing returns factors into their calculations. Ever.

* "How to Watch the Orionid Meteor Shower This Weekend"*
By Adam Mann
"One of the most spectacular night-sky shows will kick into high gear this
weekend when the Orionid meteor shower peaks early in the morning on Oct.
20. It will continue to dazzle until just before dawn on the 21st. The
Orionids are cosmic leftovers — bits of rock and ice that remain behind
from Halley’s comet, which last passed through the inner solar system in
1986. As the sun heated the famous comet, chunks of debris broke off,
leaving a trail of material that the Earth passes through annually. The
pieces h... more »

Living in Canada has given me a unique outside perspective on what is

from bad to worse for my friends who are now living in what I used to
believe as being the "most free nation on the face of the Earth".
What is truly shocking to me is the farce of the present Presidential
election happening in the once free United States of America. We have
two party candidates that are totally subservient to the criminal state of
Israel and are absolutely bending over backwards to please their Jewish
masters at every chan... more »

knows not, though he sometimes thinks he senses it. But without deeper
reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people -

is wholly dependent, and then for the many, unknown to us, to whose
destinies we are bound by the ties of sympathy. A hundred times every day I

I didn't go on today's march in London. Therefore, befitting an ongoing

Labour's candidate for the Police and Crime Commissioner elections in
Staffordshire. Happily, our door knockers received a solid response.
It would be fair to say the upcoming contest hasn't exactly captured the
