Declassified report says bin Laden ordered attacks outside Iraq. It's already gotten 20 comments as of the time of this posting.

Also from the Globe: an interesting think-piece entitled "How economic bubbles built America". It credits a lot of America's long-term growth to positive spinoffs from recurrent Main-Street-centric bubbles developing and popping.

Amnesty Latest. Read all about it.

"The divide between Muslims and non-Muslims deepened, fuelled by discriminatory counter-terrorism strategies in western countries."

"...the US administration treated the world as one giant battlefield for its 'war on terror', kidnapping, arresting, arbitrarily detaining, torturing and transferring suspects from one secret prison to another across the world with impunity, in what the US termed 'extraordinary renditions'"

No mention of the muslim terrorists creating a climeate of fear, kidnapping, torturing and otherwise beheading and generally killing innocents.

The oh-so peaceful left and their peaceful protesting ways. Note that plants *were* harmed in this event.

"VANCOUVER -- Anti-Olympic protesters stormed into the provincial cabinet offices Tuesday, overturning chairs, tossing around plants and pouring water into a fax machine.

No one was hurt and the two men and a woman waited to be arrested after causing the damage."

VPD under fire after posing as media to make arrest

VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - Vancouver reporters may find it harder to do their jobs after the Vancouver Police Department posed as journalists to lure an Olympic protestor out so he could be arrested.(google news)

More climate change hysteria over at CBC via AP:

http://www.cbc.ca/technology/story/2007/05/23/tech-crops.html

"Climate change could drive many wild relatives of plants such as the potato and the peanut into extinction, threatening a valuable source of genes necessary to help these food crops fight pests and drought, says a report by an international research group."

In short, climate change will destroy our food supply.

Then in a related article, confronting climate change by using other fuels like ethanol, *IS* affecting our food supply today:

"The rising demand for corn as a source of ethanol-blended fuel is largely to blame for increasing food costs around the world, and Canada is not immune, say industry experts."

http://www.cbc.ca/consumer/story/2007/05/22/corn.html

Further to what maz2 said... here's the lede from the Vancouver Sun (emphasis mine, try not to laugh):

VANCOUVER - Police undermined the credibility of the news media when an officer posed as a newspaper reporter to arrest anti-Olympics activist David Cunningham, say journalists and a civil liberties advocate.

The news media has credibility?

New poll out this week showing that 13% of American Muslims support suicide bombing. That's 1 in every 400 Americans or if you'd like a word picture - imagine a jumbo jet, now imagine that on average 1 person on that jet wants it to crash with you in it.

Nine U.S. warships in Gulf for show of force

ABOARD USS JOHN C. STENNIS (Reuters) - The largest daytime assembly of U.S. warships in the Gulf since the 2003 Iraq war prepared on Wednesday to hold drills off Iran's coast in a major U.S. show of force that unnerved oil markets.

U.S. Navy officials said Iran was not notified of plans to sail nine ships, including two aircraft carriers, through the Straits of Hormuz, a narrow channel in international waters off Iran's coast and a major artery for global oil shipments.

The maneuver raises pressure on the Islamic Republic, coinciding with a report by the U.N. atomic watchdog on Iran's nuclear program, which could lead to tougher sanctions.

Oil climbed towards $70 as the U.S. ships sailed into the straits, through which 40 percent of globally traded oil passes.

Rear Admiral Kevin Quinn, who is leading the group, said the ships would conduct exercises as part of a long-planned effort to reassure regional allies of U.S. commitment to Gulf security.

"There's always the threat of any state or non-state actor that might decide to close one of the international straits, and the biggest one is the Straits of Hormuz," he told reporters on board the USS John C. Stennis aircraft carrier. ...-

Caught Kate Wheeler interviewing Arthur Kent
(remember him the Gulf war Scud Stud?).
Well it appears CTV and MSM are making Karzai out to be a crook and liar for Canadian viewers benefit.

If it isn't "photo op" bashing , then it's
consorting with Karzai the crook.

Geez, he just can't escape the MSM hate mongering, can he?

And which Canadian TV talking head will interview Kevin Steel when he returns?

My guess is - NONE!

More info on the poll quoted by Robert. From the article titled "1 in 4 younger U.S. Muslims accept suicide bombs, Pew survey finds." at
http://www.azstarnet.com/allheadlines/184323

"While nearly 80 percent of U.S. Muslims say suicide bombings of civilians to defend Islam can not be justified, 13 percent say they can be, at least rarely.
That sentiment is strongest among those younger than 30. Two percent of them say it can often be justified, 13 percent say sometimes and 11 percent say rarely."

Anybody see Chelios slink off the ice, last night, without shaking hands with the victorious team players? Maybe he should join a "Timbits" league and learn a little about sportsmanship!

The Case for Bombing Iran
Norman Podhoretz

Although many persist in denying it, I continue to believe that what September 11, 2001 did was to plunge us headlong into nothing less than another world war. I call this new war World War IV, because I also believe that what is generally known as the cold war was actually World War III, and that this one bears a closer resemblance to that great conflict than it does to World War II. Like the cold war, as the military historian Eliot Cohen was the first to recognize, the one we are now in has ideological roots, pitting us against Islamofascism, yet another mutation of the totalitarian disease we defeated first in the shape of Nazism and fascism and then in the shape of Communism; it is global in scope; it is being fought with a variety of weapons, not all of them military; and it is likely to go on for decades.

What follows from this way of looking at the last five years is that the military campaigns in Afghanistan and Iraq cannot be understood if they are regarded as self-contained wars in their own right. Instead we have to see them as fronts or theaters that have been opened up in the early stages of a protracted global struggle. The same thing is true of Iran. ...-

The madness of eco-crowds
Peter Foster, Financial Post

One of my favourite books has always been Memoirs of Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds. Written more than 150 years ago by a gentleman named Charles Mackay, it provides a necessary reminder of mankind's periodic tendency to go collectively off its rocker.

I was reminded of the book while listening to a CBC report that featured some earnest soul suggesting that the recent plummeting of a piece of marble from Toronto's First Canadian Place might be due to climate change. ...-

http://www.canada.com/nationalpost/financialpost/comment/story.html?id=11e94121-a582-49e3-a4db-e33c073f40cd

Also from the Pew poll - the percentage of Muslims in America who support suicide bombings works out to be 200,000 - which is less of a percentage than the number who support suicide bombings in Canada from a similar CBC poll (27%) - that would be 50,000+ would be terrorists in our midst.

As well, the Pew poll estimates that there are 2.3 million Muslims in America overall. A hell of a lot less than the 7 million the hissing snakes at the terrorist organisation, CAIR claim. But then taqiyya is a way of life for these 7th century savages

The other pincer in the quest to destroy the west:

Prejudice Revisited, Again (from David Thompson's blog)

Further to recent posts on PC bigotry and the redefinition of racism, La Shawn Barber has highlighted another example of students being steered towards approved kinds of prejudice.

Seattle high school students have at public expense been sent to the annual White Privilege Conference, the stated aim of which is to provide “a yearly opportunity to examine and explore difficult issues related to white privilege, white supremacy and oppression.” Topics headlined for ‘exploration’ include “white man’s pornography”, “multiple systems of oppression” and “transforming whiteness in the classroom.” Given such tendentious subject matter, readers may be forgiven for questioning the extent to which realistic discussion will actually be encouraged, or indeed permitted, and for questioning whether the White Privilege Conference does in fact provide “a challenging, empowering and educational experience.”

Visitors are, however, assured that the WPC is “not about beating up on white folks,” but is instead about “working to dismantle systems of power, prejudice, privilege and oppression.” Whether those two statements prove compatible in practice is, alas, not entirely clear. Dr Peggy McIntosh, a “highly sought-after speaker” on multicultural teaching methods, describes white privilege as “an invisible package of unearned assets… like an invisible weightless knapsack of special provisions, maps, passports, code books, visas, clothes, tools, and blank checks.” If that explanation isn’t sufficiently clear or convincing, Dr McIntosh also provides a White Privilege Checklist, which defines white privilege as the ability to “be in the company of people of my race most of the time” and to “avoid spending time with people whom I was trained to mistrust and who have learned to mistrust my kind or me.” The ability to go shopping without being followed or harassed is, Dr McIntosh asserts, another indicator of heinous racial advantage, as is the ability to find publishers for articles on the “invisible, weightless” phenomenon upon which she happens to opine.

La Shawn Barber notes that racially-fixated ideology isn’t exactly unknown in Seattle’s educational system. Dr Caprice Hollins, the Director of Equity, Race & Learning Support for Seattle’s public schools, has previously criticised individualism, long-term planning (or “future time orientation”) and the speaking of grammatical English as “white values.” The expectation among teachers that all students should be responsible individuals and meet certain linguistic and organisational standards is, according to Dr Hollins, a form of “cultural racism.”

Army ready to test diesel-electric hybrid Aggressor vehicle

The tough-looking buggy uses a diesel-electric hybrid powertrain developed by Quantum Technologies. Green and mean, the setup provides strong performance credentials (0-40 mph in 4 secs) and affords the vehicle a level of stealthiness not found in conventional machinery. How so? It can run in a battery-only mode that allows the AMV to run silently and with a reduced heat signature, making it much more difficult to detect when it's operating covertly. Seems like a no-brainer for the military, as quieter will always be better when working in hostile environments.

autobloggreen.com/ [PHOTO = Scroll down a few ]

The vehicle and its powertrain, according to Popular Mechanics, have also been talked about for potential use domestically in roles such as border patrol and park service duty. The quieter operations of hybrid vehicles is often touted as a nice side benefit when discussing passenger cars and commercial vehicles. For the military, however, it's clearly a big selling point. In a bit of a role reversal, the rest of the drivetrain's advantages are the gravy

8 of every 10 cars are biofuel [ from sugar cane] sold in Brazil ny Honda and Toyota.

I'll admit that I was mildly surprised to read that Toyota was going to start offering flexible fuel vehicles for sale in Brazil soon. Well, let me clarify that: I was surprised to hear the Toyota was not already offering flexible fuel vehicles for sale in Brazil.

There, that's better. As the article mentions, ethanol is much cheaper in Brazil than petroleum, and most consumers would not want to purchase a car that they would be forced to use gasoline in.

As you are probably aware, Brazil has been pushing forward for a while now to do away with gasoline in general, replacing it with ethanol derived from locally grown sugar cane.

Most vehicle manufacturers have been selling vehicles which are capable of running on the alcohol fuel, again as the article mentions, including Honda - arguably Toyota's chief rival from Japan. With 80 percent of all vehicles sold in Brazil flex-fuel compatible.

There is good news from Iraq, believe it or not. It comes from the most unlikely place: Anbar province, home of the Sunni insurgency. The level of violence has plummeted in recent weeks. An alliance of U.S. troops and local tribes has been very effective in moving against the al-Qaeda foreign fighters. A senior U.S. military official told me—confirming reports from several other sources—that there have been "a couple of days recently during which there were zero effective attacks and less than 10 attacks overall in the province (keep in mind that an attack can be as little as one round fired). ...-

Dirty little secret (are most published scientific research papers pure bunk?)
Seed Magazine

In a 2005 article in the Journal of the American Medical Association, epidemiologist John Ioannidis showed that among the 45 most highly cited clinical research findings of the past 15 years, 99 percent of molecular research had subsequently been refuted. Epidemiology findings had been contradicted in four-fifths of the cases he looked at, and the usually robust outcomes of clinical trials had a refutation rate of one in four.

The revelations struck a chord with the scientific community at large: A recent essay by Ioannidis simply entitled "Why most published research findings are false" has been downloaded more than 100,000 times; the Boston Globe called it "an instant cult classic." Now in a Möbius-strip-like twist, there is a growing body of research that is investigating, analyzing, and suggesting causes and solutions for faulty research. ...-

Harper tells troops work not complete

KANDAHAR - Prime Minister Stephen Harper lauded young Canadian soldiers here as finest of their generation as he urged them to stand tall against the "sheer brutality" of their Taliban enemy.

"Each of you stands among the greatest of your generation," Harper told about 300 troops assembled to hear his nine-minute speech. "You are Canada's sons and daughters. And your country - as much as this country - owes you a debt of gratitude and its unwavering support."

Harper addressed the troops from a podium in the center of a ball hockey rink in a large boardwalk that serves as the social hub of this sprawling air field, the base for Canada's 2,500 troops and some 8,000 NATO and western allies in southern Afghanistan. ...-

Czech President denounces climate change "hysteria"

PRAGUE, May 16 (AFP) May 16, 2007
Czech President Vaclav Klaus on Wednesday denounced environmentalists' "hysteria" over global warming as he launched his latest book, "A blue, not green, planet," which tackles the issue.
"I am raising my voice," said the politician who has characterised environmentalism as an ideology as dangerous as communism.

"Can we allow certain political movements that want something else other than liberty to profit from an hysteria which has been born?" Klaus asked.

"Above all, it is necessary to determine if the impact of man on global climate change is such that it justifies this hysteria," he added.

I was watching the news this morning in Calgary and there was a story that was absolute lunacy. The spokesman for the international childrens festival,Doug Fraser,was saying that the police would be out looking for any males that were not accompanied by children. These single childless males would then be ID'ed and questioned about thier intentions. They would also be checked to see if they were sex offenders.I know I was not dreaming because a lady that I work with saw the newscast also.So this means that for the next 4 days any male(s) found in the downtown area around Olympic plaza will be treated as a potential pedophile.Total lunacy. Would it not be a lot easier to just tattoo a big P on the foreheads of the pervs that already have been caught?

A Letter from Michael Moore: 'Sicko' is Socko in Cannes!

May 23rd, 2007

Friends,

Well, as you may have read by now, our premiere of "Sicko" at the Cannes Film Festival has been an overwhelming success. The 2,000 people inside the Lumiere Theater were alternately in tears and laughing during the two-hour film -- and when it was over, they gave it a standing ovation that seemed to go on for nearly 15 minutes! Many came up to me and said (and critics seem to agree) that this is my best film yet. I don't know about that, and it seems weird to compare any of these movies in the first place. But I do feel safe in saying that I am very, very happy with this film and I can't wait to show it to you when it opens on June 29th.

Cannes is a crazy place. There are film lovers here from nearly every country in the world. And then there are the people in "show business." These dark forces have virtually ruined this art form (invented by the French and nurtured to brilliance by the country I call home). There are so many bad, awful films now and less and less people are going to the movies. Many who run Hollywood believe that the American people are too stupid to enjoy a film that respects their intelligence.

At the press screening for "Sicko," the Wall Street Journal reported that hardened reporters and critics wept. Even those who have been harsh to me in the past, or who have not agreed with my politics, were moved. Aside from my stated desire that "Sicko" ignite a fire for free, universal health care (and a larger wish that we, as Americans, do a better job of treating each other with a true sense of solidarity and respect), I continue to hope that I can make a contribution to the art of cinema and give people a good reason to get out of the house for a few hours.

At my festival press conference, the only negative word came from the Canadians. Two critics didn't like all the nice things I said about their health care system. Yes, Canadian health care has its flaws, but when I asked the two critics if they would exchange their health care cards for mine, they said "No!" Of course they wouldn't. Canadians live longer than we do and their infant mortality is not as high as ours. Their system is underfunded because their leaders have been trying to push for more American-style health care.

The rest of the week has been good and I am now on my way back to the U.S. The New York Post reported Sunday that the Bush administration, in addition to going after me for filming scenes in or near Cuba, may now go after the 9/11 rescue workers I took with me to get the medical care they were denied by our own government. I couldn't make up irony like this if I wanted to, and I will do whatever is necessary to defend the human right of these true American heroes to receive the medical attention they deserve.

We've also received word that the HMO and pharmaceutical industries are gearing up to fight "Sicko." We received so many great whistleblower letters while we were making the movie from employees of these companies. We'd like to hear from you again! Send us the internal memos and any other plans you run across at the company copying machine or internet server. It will help to stay ahead of whatever they are up to, and it will also give us a chance for a bit of fun at the industry's expense.

I will soon have a special section of my website devoted to "Sicko." Until then, we'll move forward toward our June 29th release date. Hope to see you all there that weekend!

Yours,
Michael Moore
