Happy Anniversary, Richard Nixon... And America
Roland and I are spending September watching every episode of *Breaking Bad* on the wall of his living room. I never watched it before and we just finished sea on one… pretty heavy. Roland says I ain't seen nothing yet. The other thing we're both doing this month is finishing our copies of Rick Perlstein's epic history, The Invisible Bridge. We can't ready it together but we talk about it before and after *Breaking Bad* everyday. We approach it from very different backgrounds. When Reagan was is office, Roland was between 8 and 16 in Maine and Reagan was a kind of hero to him. Reag... more »

Archaelogy: "The Mysterious Megaliths of New England"
*"The Mysterious Megaliths of New England"* By Paul Tudor Angel "Located in the heart of modern-day New England stand sites of such great antiquity; sites so enigmatic, so sophisticated and seemingly inexplicable, serious scientists and archaeologists have denied their study because of their monumental implications: it would force them to throw away their preconceived notions about the achievements of ancient man into the historical garbage can.

"Promise Me..."
“Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.” - Christopher Robin to “Pooh”
"We Deny..."
"We deny that we're tired, we deny that we're scared, we deny how badly we want to succeed. And most importantly, we deny that we're in denial. We only see what we want to see and believe what we want to believe, and it works. We lie to ourselves so much that after a while the lies start to seem like the truth. We deny so much that we can't recognize the truth right in front of our faces." - "Dr. Meredith Grey," "Grey's Anatomy"

John Oliver's Takedown of Online Diploma Mills

John Oliver answered that question on Sunday night. Just like it’s recently done with the payday loan industry, Dr. Oz, and net neutrality, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver took one of our favorite topics and made it much funnier than it has any right to be.

MG motoring essentials
[image: image] The *Herald* recently posted what it called ten inventions every new car should have. Darryl Bretherton at the MG Car Club disagrees.

Why Is Obama Tipping His Hand To The Islamic State?
Pete Souza/White House *'No Ground Troops': Why Is Obama Tipping His Hand to ISIS? -- Ron Fournier, National Journal* If the president's motive is politics, even doves should worry. It's rare to hear a U.S. president take military action off the table, as Barack Obama did Sunday. "This is not going to be an announcement about U.S. ground troops," he told Chuck Todd of Meet the Press. Those are assuring words for Americans worn weary by post-911 wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. But what about ISIS? It might be good to know the limits of the world's greatest military power. The sprawl...more »

Bill English said last week National will give more detail on its tax plans this week. There was no detail. Not unless the only detail that satisfies you is Bill English’s John Key’s desire to deliver tax cuts by 2017 – a desire bringing back promises lies of elections past, and a date conveniently butting up against the next round of election lies promises.

An appeal from a refusal to grant an interlocutory injunction must be taken promptly
Polar Supplies v Cape Dorset 2013 NUCA 11: There appears to be some confusion here about the proper role of an interlocutory injunction. Such an injunction is designed to hold the status quo pending a trial. It has now been over 2 1/2 years since the first injunction application, and there is no reason why this action could not have been taken to trial. A trial court could by now have determined the damages suffered by the appellant, rendering moot any question of irreparable harm.
Streets of Rage 2 for the MegaDrive/Genesis

It was a must-have game at the time for any self-respecting MegaDrive owner, and remains so. To state it boldly: *SoR2* is a masterpiece. I was one of those who did pick it up at release.

WHOSE BOOTS ON THE GROUND?
- The politicians in Washington are promising no boots on the ground in Iraq. They know the public is war weary and tired of seeing their tax dollars pissed down the rat hole.

Why Is Blue America Making Such A Fuss About Ted Lieu's Race?
As you probably know by now, Blue America is giving away an opportunity to own a rare and collectible RIAA-certified Fleetwood Mac quadruple platinum award. Anyone who contributes to Ted Lieu's campaign on this page, before Wednesday at noon, will be among those who have a chance to be chosen, randomly, to get this thank you gift from Blue America. When people tell us that Ted is a shoe-in, we point out that Sheldon Adelson is making an unprecedented financial push to win this seat for one of his protégés. Last time a right-wing Republican dumped a massive amount of cash into this... more »

Germany's "Sharia Police"
A German town today, Britain tomorrow? ' Muslim radicals have begun enforcing Islamic Sharia law on the streets of Wuppertal, a city in North Rhine-Westphalia, the state with the largest Muslim population in Germany. In what government officials say is a blatant challenge to the rule of law and the democratic order in Germany, groups of young bearded Islamists — some wearing orange traffic safety vests emblazoned with the words "Sharia Police" — have declared parts of downtown Wuppertal to be a "Sharia Controlled Zone." The self-appointed guardians of public morals have been dis... more »

How to declare war the slick Clintonesque way? Parse it to death. Drone on and on and on until the free-floating angst of a nation is rendered into acquiescence.

CDC “Whistleblower” Now Says He’d NEVER Inject His Pregnant Wife with a Flu Shot!
*Truthstream Media* This is enough to make you throw up, so I have to apologize in advance. Listen to this man who works for the CDC say that he’d NEVER inject his pregnant wife with a flu shot because he is confident that thimerosal, the mercury-containing preservative still contained in these shots, causes TICS and he also admits he knows there is evidence thimerosal also causes “autism-like features”.

NAEP, Common Core, and the Continued Production of Failure
For those who never knew Gerald Bracey's work, all I can say is you have a lot of catching up to do. It was his writing in the *Kappan* in the 1990s that caught my attention, and then came his books. He was a master at using his steel trap logic and his delightfully sharp pen to pop all the gas bags floating over the education policy centers of Washington, DC. One of his favorite subjects was NAEP and the ridiculous cut scores that were developed and maintained under the watchful eye of people like Chester Finn and his pal, Diane Ravitch (prior to her conversion to corporate u... more »

Israel Absolutely Did 9/11: 9/11: The Shocking Truth Laid Bare
This Thursday, September 11th, 2014, officially marks the 13th anniversary of that horrific day when America was attacked by its "greatest ally" known as the psychotic and terrorist state of Israel. On that day, these ultra-criminals exterminated 3000 innocent American lives and launched the US into their much needed "war on terror" to gain total hegemony over the Middle East. To this day, most Americans are still unaware of Israeli involvement and are blinded by the Jew spew media and Jewish control over the US government into the falsehood that the attack of 9/11 was conducted ... more »

Between A Rock And A Hard Place Interview With Anbar Governor Ahmed Dulaimi
In 2013 Ahmed Khalaf al-Dulaimi was elected Anbar’s new governor. His victory was largely due to his support for the protest movement. That did not adhere him to Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki who hit him with an arrest warrant. The two then tried to reconcile with a series of negotiations over the demonstrations, which cost the governor some local support. Then in December 2013 the premier shut down the Ramadi protest site, which immediately led to open fighting by anti-government tribes, insurgent groups, and the Islamic State against the Iraqi Security Forces (ISF) and pro-Bagh... more »

If The Economy Is Recovering, Why Is The Labor Force Participation Rate At A 36 Year Low?
Michael Snyder Should we be concerned that the percentage of Americans who are either working or looking for work is the lowest that it has been in 36 years? In August, an all-time record high 92,269,000 Americans 16 years of age and older did not "participate in the labor force". And when you throw in the people that are considered to be "in the labor force" but are not currently employed, that pushes the total of working age Americans that do not have jobs to well over 100 million. Yes, it may be hard to believe, but there are more than 100 million working age Americans that a... more »
How the US government admits vaccines cause autism
Dees Illustration Jon Rappoport What? The government admits vaccines cause autism? The extensive article is at childhealthsafety.wordpress.com. Title: “Vaccines Did Not Save Us.” It’s well worth studying. Halfway through the piece, we’re linked to a May 5, 2008, email, from Tina Cheatham at the US Health Resources Services Administration, to CBS reporter Sharyl Attkisson.

A Coalition for Major Outreach This 9/11 Anniversary
Heather Callaghan We are rapidly approaching 13 years since the tragic events of September 11, 2001, where the facts surrounding the deaths of thousands of Americans continue in suppressed fashion, garnering yearly rehashes of the original narrative. As calendar pages turn, so fades public interest and perhaps attempts at outreach and education regarding the facts. As time goes on, 9/11 truth is teetering on the edge of enmeshment with other obscured events which carry the scarlet letter of "conspiracy theory," and thus, with a public in the dark, the implausible official stories... more »

Is Tomorrow's Primary In New York Important At All?
Tomorrow is election day in New York. Reform-minded Democrats are threatening to do the impossible: upend the career of a very powerful conservative Governor, Andrew Cuomo but defeating him and his handpicked right-wing candidate for Lieutenant Gov., banking lobbyist Kathy Hochul. Cuomo-Hochul represent all the worst of an Establishment that has treated the public with disdain and contempt. Predictably, Hillary Clinton is campaigning on their behalf-- making it clear once again that she's, first and foremost every bit as much a servant of Wall Street and Big Business as any Republ... more »

US Throws up Roadblocks for Those Wishing to Leave
Janet Phelan The word is out. People are leaving the US in droves. The latest FBI NICS list of American citizens who have expatriated shows a spike in individuals who have renounced their US citizenship. The list, published quarterly, provides a grand total of 2,193 such renunciants since the end of last year. 2013 resulted in a total of 2,999 renunciants, which constituted a 221% increase over those who left in 2012. And we are just half way through 2014. The NICS list, however, appears to be incomplete. For starters, NICS only lists renunciants, not relinquishers. And yes, t... more »

Things Could Get Very Nasty
http://www.careerbuilder.com/ Canada's job creation numbers have been dismal. Carol Goar writes: The numbers are striking. Since last autumn, Canada has created 50,000 part-time jobs but lost 20,000 full-time positions. What was once a whisper — are we becoming a nation of part-timers? — has swollen into a worried chorus. A report by Randall Bartlett and Derek Burleton for the Toronto Dominion Bank acknowledges the growth in part time work. But both economists conclude that, as the American economy picks up, Canadians will re... more »

150 cities + 500 arrests = whatever it takes for $15
Last Thursday, fast-food workers in more than 150 US cities went on strike. Some 500 workers were arrested for civil disobedience, including this man, José Carillo, an 81-year-old McDonald's worker. In Detroit, there were so many arrests that the police gave up: they *ran out of handcuffs*. There's a very short video compilation of some highlights from the day here on Facebook. And here's another good video, this one of the Chicago action, where 51 workers were arrested.

Scottish independence may be a non-event
Next Thursday, the Scottish voters will be asked whether Scotland should become an independent country. Some Scots support the independence efforts. Many Englishmen such as Stephen Hawking and Paul McCartney have urged the Scots to vote to preserve the union. Peter Higgs, an Englishman in Edinburgh, was undecided quite recently. The result of the referendum seems completely uncertain now – the odds are 50-50. *Lyrics of the Czech jingle that I would hear rather often as a kid, despite socialism: The Scot has skirts, pipes, and the lake where a mysterious secret has been hiding for... more »
I don't "get" the stock market...

It turned out to be a wise decision. Ever since then, I've invested in durable and non-durable goods and a small amount of gold. However, I do know just enough to realize that when the stock market keeps going up and up, it's not necessarily a good thing, and will probably not end well. And right now the market is acting crazy. We have companies that don't make any money with stock worth billions. Ho... more »
News about Gaza that you won't hear from the BBC
The BBC's coverage of the Israeli/Palestinian dispute long ago ceased to bear any resemblance to reality.

Artificial Human Farms Could Wipe Out Animal Testing in Three Years - Scientists Claim
Human farms could be the sign of the futureThis is one of those creepy *"cure being worse than the disease"* kind of pieces of news. It is a bit of genius selling this to the animal rights people as *good news*, because many drawn to the more radical aspects of that movement don't like people all that much, and therefore don't care what happens to humans, their body parts, or their DNA. And all this for the *cosmetic industry*? Something tells me there's a bigger agenda than that afoot - like the human organ transplant market...

What if Scotland leaves the UK?
It is seeming plausible. And if a sensible country like Scotland leaves an astonishingly productive and prosperous union after hundreds of years what does that say for Canada? Quebec isn't the only region that has separatists. We should, as Canadian federalists, hope that the UK stays United.

Duke Airborne Systems RWS robotically arms helicopters in seconds
Utility helicopters perform a vital role in modern warfare delivering troops and supplies to otherwise inaccessible areas, but they are often minimally armed so have to fly with an armed escort. Israeli company Duke Airborne Systems presented its solution to this predicament at this year’s Eurosatory event; a first-of-its-kind fully-robotic Remote Weapon Station for helicopters. Duke Airborne Systems new Remote Weapon Station (RWS) for helicopters is based on the company's land-proven RWS, with the concept of defending otherwise unmanned helicopters without alerting enemies.

The Navy's Long Overdue Smart & Deadly Patrol Boat Has Arrived
The Navy has been slow to adapt from a Cold War era 'blue water' Navy, focused on fighting set-piece prelude to WWIII engagements on the open ocean, to one where interdiction, territorial security, and special operations are also of a high priority. With this in mind, the Mark VI Patrol Boat is welcome arrival. It has been reported that the Navy has received its first of ten contracted Mark VI Patrol Boats, with the service eyeing a fleet of 48 of the fast and deadly vessels. The delivery of the Mark VI would mark the first real patrol boat the Navy has bought since the 1980s, ev...more »

Navy's new amphib highlights the future of Marine aviation
[image: MV-22B Osprey]About 1,500 Marines and sailors have been busily testing the capabilities of the Navy’s newest amphibious assault ship during a two-month transit in a region that rarely sees a warship of this size. Marines and sailors have been engaging important U.S. allies in this part of the world since leaving the Mississippi shipyard in July. Because the two aircraft elevators used to lift planes and helicopters from the hangars to the deck don’t fold, the America is too wide to sail through the Panama Canal. Read more

Vietnam Deterring China with Submarines
[image: Hanoi (Kilo) class SSK]Vietnam will soon have a credible naval deterrent to China in the South China Sea in the form of Kilo-class submarines from Russia, which experts say could make Beijing think twice before pushing its much smaller neighbor around in disputed waters. A master of guerrilla warfare, Vietnam has taken possession of two of the state-of-the-art submarines and will get a third in November under a $2.6 billion deal agreed with Moscow in 2009. A final three are scheduled to be delivered within two years. Read more
'Nuke-Capable' Stealth Submarine Sets Sail for Israel
The INS Tanin, Israel's fourth and most advanced Dolphin class submarine – is en route to Israel from Germany, and the Navy has released video of the vessel and the ceremony in which it was launched at Germany's Kiel shipyards at week's end. Reports claim Israel has modified the Dolphin's 650mm launch tubes to allow the launch of missiles that could carry nuclear warheads. Such missiles should give Israel the ability to deter belligerent neighbors like Iran, if it delivers a sufficiently convincing threat to make use of them. However – Israel has thus far maintained a policy of nu...more »

Vafa: supergroups, non-unitary cousins of CFT, and black hole puzzles
Cumrun Vafa has a very interesting new paper, Non-Unitary Holography You may start with a simple question. What happens if you replace gauge groups derived from \(U(N)\) by their supergroup counterparts, \(U(N+k|k)\)? Well, the supergroup has more degrees of freedom – many of those have a negative norm (anticommuting but spin-one components of the "gauge bosons") and may produce negative probabilities. But Cumrun says that it doesn't affect anything you encounter at any order of the perturbative expansion in \(1/N\) i.e. in the string loop expansion. The effect of the extra \(k\) b... more »

"Gates Of Light..."
“The way the soul is with the senses and the intellect is like a creek. When desire weeds grow thick, intelligence can’t flow, and the soul creatures stay hidden.

Laughing and satisfied, the masterful flow lets creations of the soul appear. You look down, and it’s lucid dreaming. The gates made of light swing open. You see in.” - Rumi

I do this because I want you to see the actual ALEC’s nastiness and not me just reinterpreting on what could be ALEC nastiness. This entry really ended up morphing into two topics. The EVIL of ALEC at the state and federal level. And subsequently The new EVIL of ALEC at the local – municipal – level. *First:* A recent article ... more »
Karl reMarks
Although his outlook on the Middle East often differs sharply from my own, I've been quite a fan of Lebanese architect Karl Sharro since hearing him on Radio 4's *Four Thought* and checking him out on Twitter as a result, as you do. (Well, when I say "as you do" I *don*'t include Sue in that!) He's *very* funny. This is the sort of thing that makes me like him: Apparently this finger gesture is specific to ISIS. Coincidentally my reply to them is the finger next to it. pic.twitter.com/E9v7a0InqS — Karl Sharro (@KarlreMarks) September 7, 2014

Homeless Jesus, yew trees, world chaos, and monkish urges
A blog that offers a weekly assessment of a particular BBC programme should continue to post about it even if no BBC bias has been detected in it - especially if the blog is called *Is the BBC biased? *(with its question mark). Today's edition of Radio 4's *Sunday* talked about Ebola, Catholic priestly abuse, yew trees, Archbishop Justin's decision to set up a new monastic order in Lambeth Palace, a sculpture depicting a homeless Jesus and the Medical Innovations Bill. Now, yes, *Sunday'*s intense interest in Roman Catholic child abuse is an ongoing bias on the programme's part ... more »

Merkel, Germany vow to fight "anti-Semitism"
In *the never ending charade* of "combating anti-Semitism" and "racism", German Chancellor Angela Merkel "has called on the country’s citizens to attend a rally against anti-Semitism next week in Berlin where she will speak," according to *The Times of Israel*. Appeasing the organized Jewish community and ensuring that they "feel safe" in Germany is one of Merkel's Germany's top priorities. Merkel said Saturday she would do everything possible to make sure anti-Semitism has no chance in Germany. She said *making Jews feel safe remains a top priority for Germany 75 years after the H...more »
U.S. State Department Releases A Graphic Anti-Islamic State Video
*State Department Releases Graphic Anti-ISIS Video -- CNN* Washington (CNN) -- The brutal mock ISIS recruitment video starts with a simple phrase: Run. Do not walk to ISIS land. Then a body is thrown off a cliff. Later a mosque is blown up, followed by a photo of a body with a severed head. Complete with crucifixions, Muslims being whipped, shot in the head at point-blank range and thrown into ditches, the grisly video is the latest State Department effort to push back against ISIS recruiting efforts by highlighting the group's barbaric nature. The video, which uses the group's ...more »

*"Valor: Unsung Heroes from Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Home Front" by Mark Lee Greenblatt. * *Amazon description:* Valor features the thrilling stories that are the fruit of Mark Lee Greenblatt’s interviews with brave American servicemen from twenty-first-century wars. These soldiers, sailors, and Marines have risked their lives several times over for their country as well as for their fellow troops and civilians.

The plot thickens
As we at *Is the BBC biased? *have been almost as obsessed about BBC Australia correspondent Jon Donnison's reckless tweeting about Israel/Gaza as Jon Donnison himself has been about Israel, Gaza and BBC Watch, it's only right to note the latest twist in his ongoing battle with a multitude of Israeli spokesmen. He's gloating today (on Twitter), and clearly feels vindicated in his very public dispute with Israeli police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld. The story goes back to late July - and if you want to refresh your memory of it then please read our post about it here. For those who... more »

Will the Scott finally be free?
Many centuries after William Wallace cried Freedom, the ballot is about to be cast. It looks like the Anglo Saxons will have finally met their match. The Anglo Saxon culture that was Great Britain was great evil. Every problem we have in the world today is their fault. I am saying its most likely it would have better if the Kaiser had won world war one. Lets just step over Hitler who would never have existed in such a change of poles shifting to get a better gain. It was the British who invented concentration camps and Winston Churchill who had no computations about gassing civi... more »

Don't let his hippie appearance and sarcastic humor deceive you. Pepe Escobar is the highly traveled roving correspondent for Asia Times with a brilliant mind when it comes to separating the facts from the propaganda. Here he kills the myth of NATO being anything more than Washington's means of destroying any country in the way of "the Empire of Chaos".

Sorry to say, many teachers are instruments of oppression
There are teachers who, despite how they’ve been mistreated by accountability, embrace some measures of accountability because they’ve worked with fellow teachers who are indeed trifling and deserve a swift kick out the door. It takes willful ignorance, nay, stupidity of the supreme order, to think you are, as an educator, serving your profession by […]
