Fukushima * (Photo credit: Sterneck)Predictions
Dave Weigel has a post up detailing the predictions he got wrong this year. It's admirable...not so much because he's taking responsibility, but because of the effort required. Re-reading my own stuff? No thanks. Now, I do try to keep track of what I've predicted and write about it here if I get it wrong (Tommy Thompson losing his primary? Oops). Fortunately, I think I escaped the election season with relatively few embarrassing ones. Mostly, that's because I try to steer clear of predictions! Not because I'm afraid to (in fact, predictions are pretty popular, and I'm pretty sure th... more »
"Tokyo Almost As Irradiated As Fukushima"
We’ve documented the spread of radiation from Fukushima to Tokyo for a year and a half. See this, this, this, this, this and this. Unfortunately, as the following recent headlines from Ene News show, things are only getting worse: - Tokyo area turned out to be as contaminated as Fukushima -Kyoto Professor - Tokyo Bay cesium *even higher* than levels reported off Fukushima — Nearly entire sea floor contaminated by 2014 - Tokyo getting *5 times more* radioactive fallout than prefectures closer to Fukushima - Japan Times: Time bomb in Tokyo metropolitan area —... more »
A Canadian Summarizes America's Collapse: "Everyone Takes, Nobody Makes, Money Is Free, And Money Is Worthless"
On this lackluster Boxing Day dominated by illiquid moves in every asset class, we thought a few succinct minutes spent comprehending the US and European government policies of social welfare and their outcomes was time well spent. Canadian MP Pierre Poilievre delivers a rather epic speech destroying the myths of US and European 'wealth' noting that "Once the US citizen is in debt, the US government encourages them to stay in debt," noting that "the US government encouraged millions of Americans to spend money they did not have on homes they could not afford using loans they could... more »

NYT Defends Fortune 500's Global Human Exploitation
*December 27, 2012* (LD) - While the US funds and arms sectarian death squads across the Arab World under the guise of "promoting democracy," it props its own economy up on a vast network of global human exploitation. From Walmart's sweatshop-death traps in Bangladesh, to Apple's deplorable partnership with Taiwan's Foxconn, millions go underpaid while overworked under dangerous, inhumane conditions to fuel America's consumerist paradigm. Public backlash against these practices range from outrage over human exploitation (less common) to complaints that the West's economies are suff... more »

The jingoistic Kathryn Bigelow
Many commentators, foremost among them the brilliant Glenn Greenwald (and here), have taken director Kathryn Bigelow and screenwriter Mark Boal to task for the homage to torture called "Zero Dark Thirty." But many of them seem surprised. Having seen Bigelow and Boal's first award-winning film, "The Hurt Locker," only recently, I wasn't. That film too was an exercise in propaganda. All of the killing of innocents was done by the "bad guys," never by the noble American soldiers. In one scene, someone watches the bomb disposal expert from a distance, holding what may (or may not) be a... more »
Blind dog Abby finds her way home in depths of Alaskan winter
When their blind eight-year-old dog went missing from their remote Alaskan home in a heavy snowstorm, the Grapengeter family felt sure they'd never see her again. But after more than a week of searching in temperatures as low as minus 40C, Abby, a brown-and-white mixed-breed whom the Grapengeters rescued from an animal shelter as a puppy, turned up safe and sound at the home of a local vet. Abby first disappeared from the family's five-acre property near Fairbanks on 13 December. Given she'd gone blind a year ago, McKenzie Grapengeter and her three children held out little hope fo... more »

'Chemical weapons were used on Homs': Syria's military police defector tells of nerve gas attack -- But is it true?
The head of Syria’s military police defected to the opposition, accusing the Assad regime of systematic “murder” and claiming that reports of chemical weapons being used against rebels in the restive city of Homs were true. Maj-Gen Abdul-Aziz Jassim al-Shallal became one of the highest ranking Syrian military officers to throw their support behind the rebels, accusing forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad of turning their weapons on innocent civilians in the now 22-month-long civil war. “I declare my defection from the army because of its deviation from its fundamental mission ... more »

Then we are going to check out the work of a couple other bloggers. *Sandy Hook: Gun Control or Psychiatric Med Control ?* I must mention the news of Adam Lanza being on Fanapt seems to be in the process of 'disappearing'.

Advanced humanoid Roboy to be ‘born’ in nine months
Meet Roboy, “one of the most advanced humanoid robots,” say researchers at the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory of the University of Zurich. Their 15 project partners and over 40 engineers and scientists are constructing Roboy as a tendon-driven robot modeled on human beings (robots usually have their motors in their joints, giving them that “robot” break-dance look), so it will move almost as elegantly as a human. Roboy will be a “service robot,” meaning it will execute services independently for the convenience of human beings, as in the movie Robot & Frank. And since service ... more »
Parliament
I don't know what to say so I think I'll post Thomas Mulcair's speech in the House of Commons in response to Bill C-45. Here's a noteworthy excerpt: In response to a question, the hon. member for Saint Boniface asked us earlier if we were aware of the global recession. I would remind the member that it was her Minister of Finance who, in the middle of that global crisis in the fall of 2008, denied its existence and refused to take action. Talk about arrogance. Their complete lack of priorities means that instead of trimming the fat from government as needed, they are hacking ... more »

Last Time They Sent Panzers, Now It's Wheelchairs
This time Germany is lobbing geriatrics into foreign lands. *Growing numbers of elderly and sick Germans are being sent overseas for long-term care in retirement and rehabilitation centres because of rising costs and falling standards in Germany.* *The move, which has seen thousands of retired Germans rehoused in homes in eastern Europe and Asia, has been severely criticised by social welfareorganisations who have called it "inhumane deportation".* *But with increasing numbers of Germans unable to afford the growing costs of retirement homes, and an ageing and shrinking population... more »
How Keynes Got it Right and the 'Right' Got it Wrong!
*by Len Hart, the Existentialist Cowboy* Many have proposed a 'flat' tax. It sounds good but isn't! Flat taxes are not really 'flat'. Ten percent of the income of a poor or middle person is a much, much greater burden than is the same percentage against the income of a millionaire. The difference is that merely keeping a roof over the family's head and food on the table is a MUCH bigger percentage of income/wealth for a poor or middle class family. The very, very wealthy, in fact, find it difficult to spend all their wealth. What is left over after the cost of maintaining a villa in... more »

Looks Like Boehner Booted Justin Amash And Tim Huelskamp Off Their Committees As Part Of A Policy Of Payback Against A FreedomWorks Faction
*Battling right-wing sociopaths Dick Armey and Matt Kibbe are both stealing from FreedomWorks* In a new exposé on the shenanigans inside one of the most well-funded arms of the Tea Party, FreedomWorks, *Mother Jones* ace reporter David Corn has uncovered the genesis of Boehner's decision to kick several Republican members off key committee positions-- part of "a purge aimed at tea party lawmakers."

US Attempting Regime Change in Malaysia: Fact or fiction?
*December 27, 2012 *(RT - Nile Bowie) - As the South-East Asian nation of Malaysia prepares for general elections, distrust of the political opposition and accusations of foreign interference have been major talking points in the political frequencies emanating from Kuala Lumpur. The United Malays National Organization (UMNO) leads the country’s ruling coalition, Barisan Nasional, and has maintained power since Malaysian independence in 1957. One of Malaysia’s most recognizable figures is former Prime Minister Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, who has been credited with ushering in large-sc...more »
Doomed To Repeat Themselves
Today, Postmedia's Michael den Tandt asks a question of national import: Can the Conservatives learn from their mistakes? For, indeed, they have made many. But they all add up to one major mistake: The hardest knock of all against the Tories, however, and the one that cuts deepest, is simply that they’ve forgotten how to listen. Their opponents will say they never knew how to begin with. That is untrue. If the Conservatives had a single secret weapon over the past seven years, beyond their extraordinary fundraising network, it was their ear. They had an unerring sense of what, whe... more »
Top 100 Tweeting Bloggers 2012

There are a couple of other caveats. To be included below, the blog or blogger has to be posting regularly (within the last 45 days) and has to be contributing to something that identifies itself as a blog, regardless of whether it's a traditional ... more »

Why would Nick Clegg say that? Why is Nick Clegg so pro-European?
Nick Clegg has warned David Cameron that Britain must not back out of Europe and dismissed plans for a referendum on the country’s membership of the EU as “putting the cart before the horse”. Why would he say that? Why is Nick Clegg so pro-European? Is it anything to do with safeguarding his nice EU pension? Remember that EU pensions are paid on the understanding that the EU can remove this pension, if in the view of the Commission or the Luxembourg Court, they "fail to uphold the interests of the European Communities".

Cancer Communication Breakthgrough
This is unexpected. Everyone thought that an errant cell took of and spread by multiplying. How about simply converting neighbors as well if not mostly. The way cancer does spread is quick and this trick makes that process possible as well as its rapid spread in the body. The hard question is to actually stop the process itself to also stall the growth and spreading behavior in its tracks. Not as satisfactory as an outright cure but it would still work very well in saving lives. In the meantime we have a major new research avenue. *Canadian scientists discover how can... more »

In practice, paramedic training is advancing and improving apace. It is the first stage in recovery and we are slowly solving the worst cases. It is becoming more and more possible to survive the event. It will always be touch and g... more »
Icelandic Recovery
Iceland is the one nation that did most of what I deemed necessary back in 2008. Foremost, it bailed out and refinanced the middle class. If you fail to do that it is inevitable that the economy must shrink. Otherwise, bank finance is a book keeping entry of no consequence. Any money they put out has already been spent and is in circulation. No banker is irreplaceable either so tossing them in prison is an ideal option. There is no end of juniors eager to leap in and replace them and 'do it right'. In the USA, no effort has been expended to bail the middle class and as a ... more »
Bigfoot is Real
This is a decade old article and it is timely, as it displays the show evolution of scientific acceptance.

It led to a fresh understanding of a proper theoretical foundation for scientific method as well as a powerful case for the reality of Big Foot... more »

Former President George H.W. Bush condition "worsening" while in hospital
A spokesman says the fever that kept former President George H.W. Bush in a Houston hospital over Christmas has worsened, and doctors have put him on a liquids-only diet. Jim McGrath had said earlier Wednesday that the fever had gone away. He later corrected himself and said the fever "elevated" in recent days. McGrath says doctors also put the 88-year-old former president on a liquid diet, though he could not say why. McGrath says doctors have been treating the "stubborn" fever with Tylenol but still haven't nailed down a cause. http://www.foxsanantonio.com/template/inews_wire/w...more »
