Remember The Real Life Nazi Nixon Hired To Hunt Out Jews In His Administration? Fred's Back
Disgraced Republican Jew hunter-- back in the game
Republicans are such great friends of Israel-- or at least they tell you
they are. I guess that's why they're always hiring Nazi thugs like Fred
Malek. The stench that is anti-semitic fanatic Frederic Malek first drifted
into American nostrils when he was one of the top Nixon henchmen at CREEP
(the criminal enterprise that was the Nixon 1972 reelection campaign). He
worked in the Nixon administration to root out civil servants and replace
them with Nixon supporters. He was specifically tasked with politicizing

Walt Whitman, "Animals"
*"Animals"*
"I think I could turn and live with animals, they
are so placid and self contain’d;
I stand and look at them long and long,
They do not sweat and whine about their condition;
They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins;
They do not make me sick discussing their duty to God;
Not one is dissatisfied — not one is demented with
the mania of owning things;
Not one kneels to another, nor to his kind that
lived thousands of years ago;
Not one is respectable or industrious over the whole earth."
- Walt Whitman
“Hurricane Sandy Eastern Seaboard Extended 'Grid Down' Survival Scenario”

*'Grid Down' Survival Scenario”*
* *by Mike Adams
"Millions of U.S. residents along the Eastern seaboard are expected to
experience a "grid down" survival scenario beginning as early as Monday
night. The "Frankenstorm" Hurricane Sandy is a convergence of multiple
weather events rarely seen in human history. Most people living in the
region have never seen a storm like this in their lifetime.
According to Weather.com, the storm brings together five weather events:
• A Northbound hurricane
• A winter storm front

“Sprawl” versus “intensification”
The debate over affordable housing is already being framed as a debate
between “sprawl” and “intensification”—a debate between those who wish to
release (just a little) the planners’ ring-fences around NZ’s major cities
to allow new homes on “greenfield” sections, versus those who insist we
build with more intensity within the ring fence on so called “brownfield”
sites.
The latter group characterise the former as being in favour of “sprawl”;
the former characterise the latter as promoting the construction of the
slums of tomorrow.
Both are right, and both are wrong.

Video Upload Shows How Ignorant U.S. Right Wing Has Become

Local Daily Extolls the Virtues of Pima County in Apologetic Report of Lawsuit Aimed at Keeping Pima County from Breaking Laws

Jimmy Savile's Family 'Knew Of His Dark Side' Sav....Rewards were more important than the safety of the Children
Savile's great-niece claims his family became so used to the rewards
associated with his name they ignored his activities.
"I think that certain members of the family who were closer to him knew
what kind of man he was was but they kept it secret for their own means".

The Power of Films And Political Oversight of Hollywood
Watch: *Hollywood Warfare: How the Pentagon Censors the Movies*.

The upcoming film "Zero Dark Thirty" perfectly sums up the
Pentagon/CIA-Hollywood relationship. The brilliant writers at the CIA and
Pentagon come up with an outline of a fake script, in this case it is the
official story of the assassination of Bin Laden, and then they pitch it to
an impressionable and ambitious Hollywood director to turn it into an
entertaining movie and indoctrinate the American people.

'Frankenstorm' prompts Red Cross warnings in Ontario
Forecasts of a hybrid storm blending remnants of a post-tropical storm
Sandy with already severe weather over Ontario are prompting warnings from
relief workers to brace for an emergency by stocking up with at least three
days’ worth of supplies.
The Canadian Red Cross issued a release Sunday urging Ontario families to
ensure they have enough food and water to sustain themselves for at least
72 hours as the weather system, which is lashing the U.S. east coast and
North Carolina, continues to lumber towards Ontario with wind speeds of up
to 130 km/hr.

Channeling the Spirit of Posterity, Long Dead
For the five or six years this blog has existed I have strongly lamented

irrelevant, valueless or worse.
Rejecting posterity has come at an enormous price, not to us but to
generations that will follow. We have taken advantage of everything we
could exploit and kicked the consequences down the road wherever
possible. Apparently the Europeans have been little different.

Analysis: Fiscal cliff could hit economy harder than many expect
The United States runs the risk of a recession far deeper than many
investors and policymakers may think if lawmakers fail to avert looming tax
hikes and cuts to public spending.
Absent action by Congress, the country will face the so-called fiscal cliff
at the start of next year, a combination of lower spending and higher taxes
that is expected to extract about $600 billion from the economy.

U.S. Drone hits suspected al Qaeda target in north Yemen
At least four men suspected of being al Qaeda members were killed in what a

It was a rare attack on al Qaeda-linked targets in northern Yemen, an area
dominated by Shi'ite Muslim Houthi rebels battling Yemeni government forces
for control of the rugged mountainous region.

The Supreme Court of Canada Drives A Dagger Through The Heart of Canadian Democracy

We all have obligations. Work, family, exercise - there are always things
we don't really want to do, but must do anyway. Then there are the
obligations we give ourselves, the *shoulds* we add to our own too-full
plates. Those are the ones I've been shedding.
