U.S. Director Of National Intelligence: Vladimir Putin Has No Plan On Syria
*CNN: James Clapper*: *Vladimir Putin in Syria is 'winging this'* Washington (CNN)Moscow's escalating militancy in Syria comes not because of careful strategic decisions but rather because Russian President Vladimir Putin is "winging this," Director of National Intelligence James Clapper told CNN Thursday in an exclusive interview.

"Crabs in a Bucket"
"*Crabs in a Bucket"* by Sarah Robinson "When I was a little girl, I lived very close (an hour and fifteen minutes) to the Florida panhandle beaches. Which meant we spent a TON of time there. Early evening was one of my favorite times to walk the beach with my mom and my older brothers. We were all clean and fed and slightly sun weary but still desperate to be outside. So, we would grab flashlights, dip nets and a bucket and search the ocean’s edge for crabs. We would catch a bucket full in an evening and drag them back home where my mom or my grandmother would cook them up into so... more »

Energy 46, Dominance of coal power worldwide
Double talk is a perennial practice and characteristic of the "kill fossil fuels, save the planet" movement. They frequently jet-set to many countries and continents yearly on airplanes that run 100% on petroleum then lambast petroleum; they stay in huge, glitzy and brightly-lighted cities and hotels that are often dependent on coal and natural gas then lambast coal, natural gas and fossil fuels. And so they actually contribute to more global dependence on coal and natural gas. The Washington Post ran a story last October 12, 2015, As appetite for electricity soars, the world keeps... more »

Democracy Upside Down
It's not surprising that in its obituary of Sheldon Wolin, who died last week, the *New York Times *studiously avoided any mention of the term for which this political philospher is most famous: inverted totalitarianism. Instead, the obit's headline misleadingly and somewhat crankily blared that Wolin was an expert on "the limits of popular democracy."

Greg Hunter, "Weekly News Wrap-Up, 10/30/15"
*"Weekly News Wrap-Up, 10/30/15"* by Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com "The U.S. Middle East policy is getting more confusing and more dangerous. They are talking peace while sending more troops to Iraq and Syria. Iran is now also invited to the peace table in Vienna to try and find a solution to the five year Syrian civil war. The Iranians and Russians are backing Bashar al-Assad, and the U.S. wants him gone. I don’t see how this will happen peacefully when it hasn’t been done with force and more than 250,000 dead in the crisis. Is John Kerry just going to talk Assad out of power now t... more »
Charity ‘Helps’ Homeless People By Using Them As Human WiFi Hotspots

Rachel Maddow couldn't see this obvious fact, joining many pundits at the new Salon. In certain circles, the t... more »
NASA Finds Pluto Steeped in Flowing Glaciers and Kilometre-High Mountains
Suddenly Pluto becomes interesting as a potential source for terra forming Venus. It has the necessary goodies which are typically rare elsewhere.

Viking Penetration of Minnesota
This is a short letter that captures present effort regarding this event. The meaningful take home is that an assembalge of hard evidence is growing and needs serious institutional support. The viking incursion appears to be a movement of peoples from Greenland that likely totaled as many as ten thousand and took several years at least. It is quite possible that the popul;ation outgrew the carrying capacity of Greenland itself while extensive viking exploration left no doubt of far superior country down through Hudson Bay and into the Great Plains.

To End Wars -- Trump vs. Sanders
Mid East intervention has so far been totally counter productive. Thus a change in approach is desperately needed. As Buchanan makes clear, this is helping Trump and Sanders. Yet what is on tap is simple avoidance and I am not sure that will work either. The military has had their day and we know failure, so we can not go there again. Perpetual combat is stupid.

2.6 Billion Pounds of Monsanto’s Roundup Sprayed on US Farmland in 20 Years
The sheer volume is amazing and the majority is recent. I wondered just how the frog populations are doing. They are actually collapsing in conformance with our expectations regarding skin absorption of Round up. This also suggests that male fertility is on a sharp downward curve as well. It just has not been picked up yet. Add in the bee collapse and we are in the midst of a continental sized biological experiment applying aggressive environmental manipulation. Most of the damage is not likely been seen either. The Monarch butterfly collapse has been seen as well. My poin... more »

The Obama administration’s official policy on U.S. military ground forces is that they should no longer be sized for possible “large-scale prolonged stability operations.” The policy was stated in the administration’s 2012 Defense Strategic Guidance, and dutifully reasserted last year in the Pentagon’s signature planning document known as the Quadrennial Defense Review. “Stabilization operat... more »

The Poet: Rainer Maria Rilke, "And Yet..."
*"And Yet..."* "And yet, though we strain against the deadening grip of daily necessity, I sense there is this mystery: All life is being lived. Who is living it then? Is it the things themselves, or something waiting inside them, like an unplayed melody in a flute? Is it the winds blowing over the waters? Is it the branches that signal to each other? Is it flowers interweaving their fragrances or streets, as they wind through time?" ~ Rainer Maria Rilke

The U.S. Department of Agriculture has recently approved of GMOs that are resistant to new herbicides, and will thus unleash new deadly toxic herbicides across the nation’s agricultural land. Healthmasters.com reports: Previously, nearly all GMO crops approved for planting were engineered for resistance to a single herbicide: Monsanto’s Top Selling product Roundup (glyphosate). The widespread adoption of these crops led to an explosion in Roundup use, which in turn spurred the evolution of Roundup resistance in agricultural weeds. In response to the proliferation of Roundup-resista... more »

French Mathematicians blast AGW as “absurd, costly and pointless crusade"”.
A White Paper drawn up by the Société de Calcul Mathématique SA, a society of French mathematicians, is headed *"The battle against global warming: an absurd, costly and pointless crusade."* (LINK) All public policies, in France, Europe and throughout the world, find their origin and inspiration in the battle against global warming.

Lone Survivors
A million years ago, our *Homo erectus* ancestors consisted of maybe 20,000 breeding individuals, according to wizards who speculate on the hidden secrets of DNA. This is similar to the current population of chimpanzees or gorillas. The ancestors lived in scattered pockets of Africa, at a time when Earth was a paradise of abundant life. From these ancient roots, a number of hominid species evolved, but only *Homo sapiens* still survives, at seven-point-something billion and growing. The chimps and gorillas continue to live in a manner similar to their ancestors of a million year... more »
Digital Image of the Ramey Memo
There has been some discussion that suggests our research into the Ramey memo has been accomplished behind closed doors in a manner similar to the way the Not Roswell Slides were investigated. While we certainly did arrange with those at the University of Texas – Arlington to make new scans of the negative, it was not for sinister purposes. Arrangements, which including several experts in forensic photography who donated their time, were difficult to make in all came together in April of 2015. They spent several long days preparing to make the scans, accomplishing that work, and ens... more »

Oct. 29: So much news it's too much news.
But the Irving press spares you the pain of too much reading. It's foreign news isn't really foreign at all. In fact, I'm not sure there is such a thing as foreign news any more. isn't even next door. And that seems likely to come home to us right here in Moncton very, very soon. That is a reality of today's world that seems not to have struck home to the Irving press which still reads like a 1920s, small-town booster sheet.

Climate Engineering
The US military has studied and worked on 'weather modification' programs for years. One example can be seen *here* Do you ever look up and see the sky filled with these long white chemtrails? I've seen them where they cross each other back and forth across the horizon - a spider web of sorts. Not at all natural. The old days of short contrails from planes are now rare but still visible. Why these long chemtrails? What happens to the future generations when they can no longer drink the water or breathe the air? What happens to our relations in the sea? What about the bees ... more »
