Ottawa Parliament Hill False Flag Shooting: What A Coincidence - Canadian Authorities Ran War Game Drills Depicting "ISIS" Attack Scenarios!
It is amazing indeed.. Now two days since that "shooting" in Ottawa, and

Kids Halloween: Monster Paper Bags
When I am searching for crafts for class parties, I want them to have a
purpose. The hand print bats from a couple days ago help the kids practice

their goodies from the party, and a boring paper bag is just that, boring.
You will need:

- stickers, pom poms, foam, googly eyes

EU 40% CO2 reduction by 2030 is a plan to destroy the whole system twice
A damp rag nicknamed Herman Van Rompuy (yes, check what is the most popular
YouTube video about him) and his apparatchik friends have finally agreed
about an insane 15-year plan (a 3 times more ambitious time scale than
Stalin liked to "command")
EU leaders agree CO2 emissions cut
It's an atrocious piece of communist planning. Poland and others probably
agreed with this insanity because they were promised a few bucks
(negligible $3 billion dollars over a decade in the case of Czechia) as a
compensation.
Historically, similar communist plans have almost never come true and it's

*“Scientists: ‘Are Humans 'An Infection' And *
*Ebola Is Earth's Immune Response?”*
by Mike Adams
"If you haven't yet read "The Hot Zone" by Richard Preston, a non-fiction
book published in 1994, you're way behind the curve on the truth about
Ebola. This book reveals all sorts of astonishing truths about Ebola which
have since been buried or distorted by a modern-day government operating in
total denial. For example, the book documents numerous cases of an Ebola
variant spreading via airborne routes among monkeys housed in completely
separate rooms in level-4 biohazard facilities r... more »

Why Don't We Have A Doctor Leading The Charge Against Ebola?
The ugly faces of the Texas Ebola problem
Republicans are still trying to make Ebola a campaign issue.
Yesterday we saw how Republicans have used fear mongering to imply
Democratic women candidates are not up to the job of fighting Ebola (or
ISIS)-- despite the courageous work women, from nurses to CIA agents, are
actually doing on the front lines in both battles. Now Republican lawmakers
have been caterwauling that Obama appointed a bureaucrat as Ebola Czar
instead of a doctor, seemingly unaware-- or worse, deceitful-- that every
single Republican-- including fake moderates like Sus... more »
Are You Up on Your R-Value?
A general rule of thumb for making home an energy efficient place is,
simply put, to keep from letting said energy go to waste. A great way to do
this? Insulate thoroughly from top to bottom.
There is a lot of technical information and specific terminology to take
into account when insulating, so a home-insulation project can range
anywhere from a complete DIY to something better left for a professional
installer, but one key player you’ll want to get to know is R-value.
R-value is a measure of resistance (R) against heat transfer, or how well
the material keeps heat from passing ... more »

In your first visit to India you visited Visakhapatnam also. This city is a
green city with full of trees every where. But few days back there was a
cyclone with wind at 180 KM (112 miles) per hour. Due to this more than
80,000 trees, 6,000 electrical poles were uprooted and blown off, huts and

The Terror Problem. What Questions Should we Ask?
October
22, 2014 has indelibly imprinted itself on my mind. From the first
tweet that a gunman was loose on Parliament Hill, I was glued to my
computer, constantly searching for news and answers to try to understand
the scope of that horrific event.
Once all was over and the details emerged, we learn that the scene of
terror that engulfed our capital city was all due to a loan crazed

You're now strolling along George Carlin Way
*by Ken*
The great George Carlin (1931-2008), was not just a Manhattan kid, but
specifically a Morningside Heights kid, having grown up in the neighborhood
-- perched on the first of the series of elevations rising along the Hudson
River in the northern part of the island's western flank -- known for
Columbia University and a host of other educational as well as cultural and
religious institutions. And now a stretch of the very street he grew up on
has taken on a new name.
With Morningside Park, behind us, to the east and Riverside Church rising
majestically to the west, this ... more »

I am embarrassed. I wrote the blog below early this morning, and posted it

I had to follow yesterday's Ottawa shooting on CTV. It was so bad, I was
embarrassed to be a Canadian. So a friend sent me the site below for the

this week on Fox News. Well, not an outbreak. One case. Shep Smith made an

Americans should not be swept up in it. "Do not listen to the hysterical
