One Way ALEC Wants to Bankrupt Your State
As we all know - the sole purpose of ALEC is to benefit and profit of ALEC corporate members. Some of the things that ALEC does are meant to destroy your state - and here is one. A slow easy bleed of the money in your state - until your state can no longer afford to exist anymore - unless of course you go begging to AL:EC corporate interests to fund and run your state - also known as Fascism! Most are not paying attention to the issue highlighted below. This piece of nastiness spreading across the USA gives a whole new meaning to ALEC's espoused "limited government". Bankrupt th... more »
After Announcing Plans To Recapture Mosul In The Spring, The Pentagon Has Decided To Scrap Its Attack Plans
Kurdish Peshmerga fighters stand guard on the outskirts of Mosul (Reuters/Azad Lashkari) *Daily Beast*: *Pentagon Scrubs Major Attack on ISIS* *Just days ago, the generals were trumpeting plans to knock ISIS out of its most important stronghold in Iraq. Now, those plans are on indefinite hold.* *The U.S. military’s goal to retake Iraq’s second largest city from the self-proclaimed Islamic State has been pushed back several months at least, defense officials told The Daily Beast. That’s a major shift for the Pentagon, which recently announced that the first major ground offensive in... more »
"A Look to the Heavens"
“Drifting through the one-horned constellation Monoceros, these dusty streamers and new born stars are part of the active Monoceros R2 star-forming region, embedded in a giant molecular cloud. The cosmic scene was recorded by the VISTA survey telescope in near-infrared light. Visible light images show dusty NGC 2170, seen here just right of center, as a complex of bluish reflection nebulae. *Click image for larger size.* But this penetrating near-infrared view reveals telltale signs of ongoing star formation and massive young stars otherwise hidden by the dust.

Judge questions witnesses - a series of guidelines
Trial judges are entitled to question witnesses. Indeed, sometimes they are duty-bound by the interests of justice to ask questions. They are not required to remain silent, passive observers of trials. There are, however, limits on their ability to intervene in the examination of witnesses. Their interventions must never compromise the overall appearance of fairness in the trial proceedings. The decision in R. v. Lahouri, 2013 ONSC 2085 sets out a series of guidelines applicable to a judge's questions at trial: (1) *Refrain From Usurping the Role of Counsel*: As a general... more »
TV Watch: With all those horrible zombie noises exploding, can anyone tell whether the new "Odd Couple" is funny?

Inflammatory language in Crown closing argument
R v. A.T., 2015 ONCA 65: [26] The Crown occupies a special position in the prosecution of criminal offences, which "excludes any notion of winning or losing" and "must always be characterized by moderation and impartiality": *R. v. Boucher*, [1955] S.C.R. 16, per Rand J., at p. 24 and Taschereau J. (in translation), at p. 21. Crown counsel "must limit his or her means of persuasion to facts found in the evidence presented to the jury": *R. v. Rose*, [1998] 3 S.C.R. 262, at para. 107.

Chet Raymo, “Strange”
*“Strange”* by Chet Raymo “In a review in the “New York Times” Book Review, Daniel Handler writes: “And strange? Well, let's get this straight: All great books are strange. Every lasting work of literature since the very weird "Beowulf" has been strange, not only because it grapples with the strangeness around us, but also because the effect of originality is startling, making even the oldest books feel like brand new stories.” Strange: Out-of-the-ordinary, unusual, curious. "The strangeness around us," says Handler. There is a paradox here. What could be less strange than the wo... more »
The Long Hiatus and The Dress
In November of 2012, I took what I intended to be a three week hiatus from blogging politics. Then click bait journalism took root and we have major media asking Obama what color he thought The Dress was and runaway llamas being "interviewed" on CNN. So now, almost two and half years later, I'm still on it. After almost 12 years blogging every day, sometimes on as many as four different blogs, felt like I had said everything that mattered ten times over. Captain Fogg kindly kept this place alive for those years but he also decided go on a well deserved hiatus, so the only new content... more »
So this is where Paul Craig Roberts disappeared to last week. Invited to address an important conference of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow! His first day's endeavor was to explain to Russian government officials and the Russian people why Washington has recently destroyed the friendly relations between America and Russia that Ronald Reagan and President Gorbachev succeeded in establishing. His second day was devoted to explaining how America has become a police state catalyzed by 9/11 and the concomitant loss of the Constitution and the civil liberties it protected. So all Americans should also read these lectures.

MJ-12 and Bill Moore
As I go through files and reports and other documents, I sometimes find a little item that was not very important a decade or two ago but that has taken on added significance. Such is a note about Barry Greenwood and the late Japanese UFO investigator Jun-Ichi Takanashi. Takanashi bought a copy of *The Mystery of the Green Fireballs *from Bill Moore which in and of itself isn’t all that exciting. Some of the documents that Moore had found were poor quality and difficult to read so that Moore, as apparently was his habit, retyped some of them to improve the legibility. Takanashi won... more »

Biking to Laochiajia Slate Village

Wassail!
Today was a slow day for me, as I'm still recovering from painting one side of the house and attending to various mowing tasks, so I potted on some lettuce and kale from the seeding flats and did dishes, then poured myself a glass of cider. The cider is mostly apple, with some grape, pear and quince in it, and has been a hit this year, with many requests for seconds. I've been keeping it in a two liter jug and adding quarts of juice from mason jars whenever the level falls. The fermentation has been ongoing since August.

How Radical Is Radical? Meet Deranged Alabama Confederate Mo Brooks
Chad Pergram is one of the more hard-working Beltway reporters. He's Fox's congressional correspondent, he's reliable, dependable and takes his job seriously. And, as far as I know, he's the only national reporter who regularly talks with Confederate sociopath Mo Brooks (R-AL). Sometimes OI think it's worth following Pergram on twitter just to keep from missing any of Brooks' crackpottery. A former Jeff Sessions staffer, there's every reason in the world to assume that Brooks' sympathies are very strongly with the KKK. He's certainly among the top 20 of right right Members of Cong... more »

The full quote, from her journals: I believe and I want to gather all the facts to illustrate this-that the worst curse on mankind is the ability to consider ideals as quite abstract and detached from ones everyday life. The ability to live and think quite differently, thus eliminating thinking from your actual life. This applies not to deliberate and conscious hypocrites, but to those more dangerous and hopeless ones who along with themselves and to themselves, tolerate a complete break between their convictions and their lives, and still believe they have convictions.

Nemtsov: Mutiny, Martyr, or Malicious Murder?
Really, this is a continuation of the conversation about ISIS. When the US, and it's subordinate agencies, have a global reputation for over throwing governments through the use of decoy "opposition", staged military coups, paid for riots and political demonstrations, and of course plain ol' buying off the rival political parties, is it any wonder that the first reaction by many upon reading of Russian opposition leader Nemtsov being gunned down last night in front of the Kremlin was "unsurprised"? Yes, there is definitely a chance that Putin may have had him "taken out", but the ... more »

I have put up many reports over the last few months about the absolutely atrocious Lougheed Martin F35 Lightning II "stealth" fighter that is an absolute piece of garbage... This aircraft is a flying death trap that cannot fly at night, cannot fly in the rain, is hopelessly underpowered for a "fighter aircraft", has a pathetic weapons load, and even its so called "stealth" capabilities are an absolute joke....

So - the story is this; the majority of New Brunswickers are English-speaking. But French speakers (Acadians/Acadiennes) have a right to get services in French. And that means civil servants who deal with the public must be bilingual. Sounds reasonable? Not to some English-speaking people - a minority of the... more »

Of 176,503 total votes cast districtwide, 130,295 came from State Island. Only 46,208 Brooklynites voted, and even though Murphy won in Brooklyn (albeit barely) it was inconsequential. Although the Brooklyn part of the district includes a traditional progressive heartland between Sheepshead Bay, Midwood and Gravesend, the most conservative...more »

Obama’s Stealth AR-15 Gun Ban Targets Ammo: ''No One Can Import, Sell or Even Produce It''
Mac Slavo If nothing else can be said about President Obama, he has adamantly stuck to one key promise – the one he made to the Brady Center to pursue gun control "under the radar." The AR-15 is America’s most popular sporting rifle, and it has been falsely mischaracterized as an “automatic” firearm and an “assault” weapon. It has been demonized as a monstrosity via the Sandy Hook shootings. Bans on it and other so-called “assault weapons” have been attempted from every possible angle. And now that those measures have failed to accomplish total gun control, the Obama Administrat... more »
Russia: US-Backed Opposition Leader Gunned Down in Moscow
Tony Cartalucci *Martyrdom on demand: if not of use alive, perhaps of use dead? * US-backed opposition groups in Russia have so far failed utterly to produce results. Their transparent subservience to Washington coupled with their distasteful brand of politics has left a rather unpleasant taste in the mouth of most Russians. Each attempt to spread the “virus” of color revolution to Moscow, as US Senator John McCain called it, has failed – and each attempt has fallen progressively flatter. Russian President Vladimir Putin has never been more popular. His ability to weather serial... more »
4 More Victims Come Forward From Chicago Secret Prison, Man Tortured Over Weed
Cassius Methyl Four more victims of incarceration at Chicago’s Guantanamo Bay style secret detention/torture center,known as Homan Square, have come out and spoken to The Guardian about their experience being essentially treated like cattle. They are four black males, Brock Terry, Kory Wright, Deandre Hutcherson and David Smith. Three of them were held in 2006, and one in 2011. They were kicked in the genitals while helpless and bound, put in ‘kennels for humans’, and they heard the bloodcurdling screams of other helpless victims while they thought they would never see the light o... more »
Action Alert: Will We Allow the Chicago Police to Get Away With This?
Nick Bernabe I guess that’s the biggest question so far in 2015: will we allow the Chicago Police Department get away with making people disappear without due process? Will a new standard be set in America where the basic protections (or what’s left of them) promised to us by the Bill Of Rights are completely gone? In case you don’t know what I’m talking about, *The Guardian* reported on Tuesday that Chicago PD is literally snatching people off the streets, torturing and interrogating them, even killing at least one person, in a secret facility that is completely illegal.

GMOs And Green Blob Hallucinations: The Twisted World Of Mr Paterson
RINF, Global Research, Countercurrents Speaking last week in Pretoria, former UK Environment Minister Owen Paterson described critics of GMOs as comprising part of a privileged class that increasingly fetishizes food and seeks to turn their personal preferences into policy proscriptions for the rest of us. He called them backward-looking and regressive. He claimed their policies would condemn billions to hunger, poverty and underdevelopment because of their insistence on mandating primitive, inefficient farming techniques. He called them: “… the ‘Green Blob’ – a reference to a 195... more »

Evidence lacking for annual testing
Sent to the Los Angeles Times, Feb. 28, 2015 Paul Peterson (Op-ed, Feb. 23) asserts that yearly testing done under No Child Left Behind (NCLB) resulted in increased test scores ("modest" gains in math), "solid evidence" in support of annual testing. Ron Harris (letters, Feb. 27) argues that the increased test scores are due to better test-taking strategies. Researchers Jaekyung Lee and Todd Reeves analyzed data from all 50 states from 1990 to 2009 and concluded that the NCLB testing policy did not increase reading gains and did not close ethnic/racial and socio-economic achieveme... more »

Saving Capitalism From Itself
http://www.qohel.com/ The American economist Richard Wolf maintains that capitalism contains the seeds of its own destruction. Unchecked, it produces greater and greater inequality, until it collapses upon itself. Tom Walkom agrees: Experts may tie themselves up in knots over the precise trajectory of inequality, depending in part on what is measured and when. But the general point is beyond dispute: On its own, the free market is providing increasingly less equal rewards. That inequality, in turn, hampers the very forces that favour... more »

Blind Optimism

You don't deliberately have children if you're thinking about everything that could go wrong. Also, we stumble through politics thinking it's all going to be all right. Most people, watching the TV news, hope that "something" will fix the mess that "the politicians" have gotten them into. Perhaps they'll "throw the bums out" and their replacements will be better, even though "they're all the same." These, mind you, are Canadi... more »
Berkeley Bans Police Drones, Taking Other Steps to Demilitarize Cops
Josh Paniagua On Tuesday morning, I woke up to news of a Berkeley City Council meeting that would pass or reject a 2-year moratorium on the use of drones by the city happening later in the afternoon.

During the 1-year suspension, City Council has pledged to work toward developing appropriate policies regarding city use of unmanned aircraft. While this may come as good news ... more »
The Federal Reserve Has Unleashed a ''Virus Of Radical Monetary Policy''
Mac Slavo The Fed has no mandate outside the 50 states, but it unofficially determines foreign debt and currency markets across the globe in a big way anyway. Now, chairwoman Janet Yellen has testified before Congress that the Federal Reserve is looking to increase interest rates, on the pretext of low inflation. The rate increase represents an enormous price fixing mechanism that will alter the course of investments for everyone. The ground shakes when the Fed takes a step. Never mind if it should be this way: Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen said Wednesday that the central ... more »

They've been called evil, monsters, dictators, etc. But it is Obama and Erdogan who are training and arming ISIS terrorists, and it is Putin and Assad who are fighting them.

Proposed reductions in testing: the boondoggle remains
LETTER Published in Substance http://www.substancenews.net/articles.php?page=5465§ion=Article February 26,2015 In my e-mail today I received a note from President Obama which included this statement: "We need a better education plan -- one that cuts standardized testing to a bare minimum ...". Of course I agree (see Krashen, 2008), but the proposed reduction in testing that has been submitted to congressional committees appears to be only a modest cutback from the current massive, nonstop testing program. I suspect that the plan of the US Department of Education is to reduce te... more »
This is no time to go soft on those marauding union terrorists Gov. Scott "The Lying Scumbag" Walker beat into submission
*by Ken* Let me say at the outset that I am a singularly poor predictor of those game-changing moments When Right-Wing Scumbag Liars Go Too Far. With alarming frequency one of these hell-clowns says or does something that seems to me so irretrievably blatant that even the stupidest, most blinkered followers can't help but be shaken by, and nothing happens. Contrarily, on occasions when one of them goes A Lie Too Far, it's over something that in my mind should hardly have registered a blip on the Right-Wing Scale of Outrage. Take the Katrinafication of New Orleans. Was I shocked ... more »

"What powers are being wielded in the Wizard Nebula? Gravitation strong enough to form stars, and stellar winds and radiations powerful enough to create and dissolve towers of gas.

"Live A Good Life..."
"Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones. I am not afraid." - Marcus Aurelius

"Against All Odds..."
"There's a little animal in all of us and maybe that's something to celebrate. Our animal instinct is what makes us seek comfort, warmth, a pack to run with. We may feel caged, we may feel trapped, but still as humans we can find ways to feel free. We are each other's keepers, we are the guardians of our own humanity and even though there's a beast inside all of us, what sets us apart from the animals is that we can think, feel, dream and love. And against all odds, against all instinct, we evolve." - "Grey's Anatomy"

Chicago-- Historian Rick Perlstein Speaks Up For His City
History is being made in Chicago. Eighteen months ago, I wrote about how a hydra-headed protest movement against Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s agenda of privatization, austerity, and authoritarian governance was changing the face of politics in the Windy City. Now, it’s close to achieving a miracle: ending Rahm Emanuel’s political career once and for all. In the first round of Chicago’s mayoral election on February 24th, Rahm Emanuel came a shocking five points shy of the 50 percent he needed to win reelection outright-- performing three points shy of the final pre-election polls.

Turning someone who looked like Leonard Nimoy into a sex symbol, however, was entirely unintentional.Before he played Spock, Nimoy, who died today at 83, played a surprising number of parts as Indians and Mexicans in the Old West.

The Roswell Slides and Me
This story actually begins in July 2011 when Tom Carey, Don Schmitt and I were all at the Roswell Festival. Tom suggested that he and I head over to Church’s Fried Chicken for lunch and I’m not one to refuse an invitation for Church’s. At lunch Tom said that he had been thinking about doing a sort of ultimate Roswell book and wondered if I was interested in that. I said that I was, but didn’t mention that I had contacted a publisher about just such a book a couple of months earlier. I hadn’t heard back and thought this might present a problem if the publisher made some sort of offe... more »
