Blog Monitoring
2009-06-22 07:45:00 I spotted this over on Cryptogon, but the original article is AP: FTC plans to monitor blogs for claims, payments $500 free laptops? Gift cards? Holy shit, I’m missing the boat here. Nobody has ever offered me anything like that. But my jaw really dropped when I read that Cryptogon requires $1,000 a month ...

Rewarding The Stupid - Another Government Idea
2009-06-19 21:18:00 Sent in by Vaughn, this is an unbelievably ridiculous idea — Our idiotic government wants to “stimulate” the car companies by rewarding the stupid among us with vouchers towards a new car. Congress passed the “cash for clunkers” measure late Thursday night as part of the $106 billion war spending bill. It’s not clear exactly when ...

Why Teaching Others About Climate Change Is A Waste Of Time
2009-06-19 15:08:00 The other day, I saw a car speeding down the road ahead of me. It was going faster and faster and it was all I could do to catch up to the car to give warning of the road ahead. I’d seen the signs and paid heed to what they said, but the ... More About: Environment , Collapse , Climate Change , Climate , General
Another Reality
2009-06-18 19:05:00 Steve Lendman has a couple of articles worth reading (his last two entries, I don’t have a direct link). The real world where assassins and murderers operate, and the American human rights abuse. There is no doubt that most of us live on entirely different realities.

Report - Global Climate Change Impacts In The United States
2009-06-17 05:17:00 The Obama Administration has released an outdated report today (trust me on this) regarding global climate change impacts in 75 years. The short version (easily loaded) is here. The government version, like all things produced and run by government, never did load for me, but you can find it here. By the way, they’re ...

White House To California, ?You?re On Your Own?
2009-06-16 22:52:00 Send in by Steve (thanks!) — What a riot. And so very very predictable. The White House has told California (for now), that they are on their own. In other words, we’re not bailing you out. So, another prediction comes true for what, 20+ million people? I’ve lost track of their population stats. But don’t pay ...

2009-06-16 19:21:00 Does anybody besides me “notice” the trends that tend to be covered (established) and set in motion by the media? I certainly do and I do not think for a blind moment that this is any sort of accident or coincidence. Today we find ABC in bed (literally) with the White House, and walled prototypes ...

Turning Towns Into Prisons
2009-06-16 18:43:00 This too is interesting, when you consider the psychological programming factor to millions of Americans: CBS is about to shoot a reality show tentatively called ?Block Party? in Kennesaw that literally turns suburbia? into a prison.

Massacre In Peru

Vatican Endorses GM Foods
2009-06-07 20:18:00 I don’t expect much from the elitist over at the Vatican , but this is too much. THE Vatican seldom approves of scientists meddling with God’s creation.
