Border Patrol Video Followup
2009-05-15 03:09:00 Sent in by Chris — This is footage of the Border Patrol attacking that guy who refused to comply: There appears to be ZERO justification (resistance) for tasering the guy.

Creating Child Terrorists
2009-05-14 22:14:00 IMPERIAL, Calif. ? Ten minutes into arrant mayhem in this town near the Mexican border, and the gunman, a disgruntled Iraq war veteran, has already taken out two people, one slumped in his desk, the other covered in blood on the floor.

Thuggery And Mob Action, Government Style
2009-05-14 20:50:00 The following I did not write, so maybe some of you will read it: Thuggery And Mob Action , Government Style Looks like we just lost another $100 billion dollars. We are no longer a nation of laws; this is a bigger scandal, by far, than Watergate and it is 100% bipartisan. If we the people allow any ... More About: General , Tyranny

2009-05-14 19:15:00 [If you’ve not yet read Part I, or Part II, it would probably be best that you read these previous entries first - Admin] In Resistance Parts I and Resistance Parts II, I presented several points. I’d like to expand and reiterate on them here and perhaps clarify a few: a) you cannot change the system ... More About: General , Tyranny

2009-05-14 18:26:00 WASHINGTON — The Obama administration is weighing plans to detain some terror suspects on U.S. soil — indefinitely and without trial — as part of a plan to retool military commission trials that were conducted for prisoners held in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

On Resistance Part II ? Framing The Debate
2009-05-13 20:34:00 Governments of the world have made it illegal to even simply discuss movements, ideas and of course any plans to resist the ongoing onslaught of tyranny. Sometimes, there is an exception to this if you discuss another country, but not your own, but even this is illegal, especially in on particular case. If ...

On Resistance - Part I
2009-05-13 02:18:00 The following is a reprint from an article on disorganized resistance. As far as I am concerned, it is a primer (basic) level of understanding that needs to be absorbed before considering anything else. In Part II and beyond, I will cover more specifics.

Democracy, Consensus and Mass Awareness ? It?s Not What You Think
2009-05-12 01:08:00 I’d like to address an issue that has been cropping up more and more lately. There is a assumption by millions of people that “numbers matter” in areas that require change. The general idea is something like this: If enough people get involved in “the issue” (whatever it is), then ‘we the people’ can make a lasting ...

Solar Maximum Ahead
2009-05-10 06:08:00 Good news, the solar minimum is now “over” (which means solar activity is now going to increase). Ahead - the solar maximum: And the yahoos at Fox News are declaring this is the end of the world as we know it — in the year 2012: Bearing in mind that past years of global temperatures have been increasing ...

The Water On Your Land Is To Be The ?Property? of the Federal Government
2009-05-09 03:24:00 This is an UNBELIEVABLE piece of brainless legislation to hand over ALL water in the United States to the Federal government. Must watch: Guess that means my mud puddles in my yard are ‘property of the U.S. Government ’. I think NOT. I won’t even say what this means for me or for you, or what you should ...

People Are Pathetic
2009-05-08 19:08:00 [Here’s your non-environment post for the day, but in reality, it really is all about the environment, people and civilization — Admin] People are pathetic. Especially the present generation of slugs. Apparently, a few days back, Oprah Winfrey advertised for KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) a free chicken meal. Thus began the herd stampede, as ...

Plastic Planet
2009-05-08 02:42:00 You really owe it to yourself to go look at these pictures on the original website by Chris Jordan. I can’t do them justice here because I can’t scale the pictures large enough for this blog. But this is a picture of 2.4 million pieces of plastic, equal to the estimated number of pounds of ...

The Age Of Stupid
2009-05-08 02:10:00 The above title aptly describes quite a lot. But it’s really the title of a new movie: The Age of Stupid is the new movie from Director Franny Armstrong (McLibel) and producer John Battsek (One Day In September).

Why ?Climate Bills? To Save The Planet Won?t Work
2009-05-07 20:23:00 The Obama Administration is attempting to ’save the planet’ with the Waxman-Markey Climate Bill. But will it work if passed? According to this analysis — not even close. Using mainstream models and assumptions, Mr. Knappenberger finds that in the year 2050 with a 83% emissions reduction (the aspirational goal of Waxman-Markey, the beginning steps of which are ...

Canadian Military Training for ?Environmental Insurgency?
2009-05-07 17:03:00 This pretty much tells you what our leaders of any country think of the environmental movement and how they’re going to deal with any direct action. The Canadian military is training for an environmental insurgency. An environmental insurgency is the scenario driving the majority of Canadian army training in Medicine Hat this week.

Perilous Optimism

Without some sense that our individual deliberate effort brings us closer to a fulfillment of our personal goals, we simply cannot function from one day to the next.

20,000 New Death Merchants
2009-05-07 00:10:00 Here is some more (current) news on how America is oriented towards merchandising death — recently covered in Death Becomes US. The Pentagon is seeking to create more merchants of death, by hiring 20,000 new personnel to manage the $100 billion dollar (per year) death industry. Somehow, this doesn’t make me feel all warm and fuzzy all ... More About: Terrorism , General , Tyranny , War

$6 Billion To Bulldoze Empty Homes
2009-05-05 22:59:00 Sent in by Steven — Check out a local guy who posted the amazing video. He says the builder was being fined daily for the homes, but if they were already in foreclosure, then the builder should be out of the picture. Anyway, check it out. The same thing is happening in other areas; in fact ... More About: Collapse , General , Homes , Billion , Empty
The Final Warning
2009-05-05 21:37:00 I am once again, struggling with the ‘point’ of keeping this blog open. The focus of this blog was succinctly summarized here by Lonewolf, with a veritable ‘plea’ to point out the severity and seriousness of climate collapse, which will most certainly lead (or follow) to ‘everything else’ collapse. I fully agree with this assessment. ... More About: Environment , Collapse , General , Final , Warning

Climate Chaos Predicted by C02 Study

Climate Future - Extinction Level Event
2009-05-02 23:23:00 Lonewolf has submitted an excellent summary of climate impacts that should (if you’re a sentient being) have you quaking in your boots after you digest the implications of what this means: Current GMST Increase (global mean surface temperature increase) over pre-industrial surface temperatures = +.8 to 1.2C increase.

Avoiding Jury Duty
2009-05-01 21:44:00 This is hilarious, but all too true. This guy was summoned to jury duty and had a written response for the court: Avoiding Jury Duty (sent in by Lonewolf).

Animal Extinction - The Greatest Threat To Mankind
More articles from this author:2009-05-01 01:09:00 Another gem from Lonewolf, and worthy of deep contemplation: By the most conservative measure - based on the last century’s recorded extinctions - the current rate of extinction is 100 times the background rate. But the eminent Harvard biologist Edward O Wilson, and other scientists, estimate that the true rate is more like 1,000 to 10,000 ...
