"Ideological money laundering"

"This is a guest post by Ben Pile, of Climate Resistance fame.

As everybody now knows, the headlines from IPCC WGIII report on renewable energy appear to have been written by Greenpeace. When the Summary for Policy Makers was published last month, I was one of many who noted the role of Greenpeace, and the extent to which the SPM's authors were involved in the renewable energy industry. Steve McIntyre's discovery has caused further criticism of the IPCC's letting such overt agendas near its evidence-making for policy-makers, even from the green camp, albeit only because it is such bad PR. But there is yet more to this story.

The European Renewable Energy Council (EREC), who co-authored the report with Greenpeace, claims to be an 'umbrella organisation of the European renewable energy industry, trade and research associations' of the renewable sectors. 'EREC represents an industry with an annual turnover of EUR 70 billion and providing over 550.000 jobs'. They consist of a number of partner organisations, each representing one technology sector within renewable energy, such as wind, geothermal and solar, and each of these has as many as hundreds of members. As Mark Lynas points out, then, it is no surprise that the EREC 'are of course enthusiasts for renewable energy’s prospects because they make money from selling wind turbines and solar panels, so hardly count as an unbiased source'.

Do the EREC only make money by selling renewable energy technology? Well, it's member organisations, and the hundreds of companies they each represent certainly do, especially given the subsidies available to renewable energy companies, thanks to EU policy. But Gawain Towler, press officer at UKIP, suggests on his blog that there may also be 'public money floating around this august organisation'. I decided to look more closely at EREC's funding. The EREC, and its eleven member organisations all share an address: Renewable Energy House, Rue d’Arlon, Brussels -- a moment's walk away from the European Parliament. But the EREC are much closer to the political institutions in Brussels than this.

The EU Financial Transparency system -- which only lists accounts between 2007-9 -- reveals that the EREC were the beneficiaries of €1.8million ($2.5million) from the EU. Just under €1.5 million of this gift from the EU government to a trade association is accounted for as follows:"

it was in the Bayonet's weekly

ping- it's dissension. Not dissention.

It's the Liberals who are objecting to both term limits and an elected Senate. But these are the old guard.

Even a Liberal appointed by Harper, Richard Neufeld..who was a Liberal up until his appointment..his objection is not to term limits but to an elected Senate. Got that? His comment wasn't about term limits but against an elected Senate. He's the only 'Conservative' (heh) appointed by Harper who has openly declared this.

The only other Conservative to object to these reforms..is one appointed by Mulroney (Nolin) (whew, how far back was that)..and his objection is to an elected Senate. Not to term limits.

So- before you gloat, get your spelling and facts in order. It's two Senators, not 'Tory Senators' (which implies all of them) and only one from Harper (and he was a Liberal until his appointment)...and the sticking point is not term limits but elections.

"Chinese street vendors lash out against police tyranny'

"In early June police abuse against a poor street vendor sparked a popular uprising…Sound familiar? The scenario is oddly reminiscent of that of the story of Mohammed Bouazizi, the young man whose death kick-started the Tunisian revolution. Only this time, the revolts took place in Southern China.

Riots broke out on June 10 in Xintang, a town in the industry-rich Guangdong province. Street vendors there, often poor migrant workers who set up illegal stands, play cat and mouse with the local chengguan, a sort of municipal security force that assists police. On June 10, during a brutal chengguan crackdown on a group of vendors, tensions reached a breaking point.

The security guards descended on a group of illegal market stands and began beating the vendors with batons to disperse them. In the course of this operation, a young, pregnant, female vendor was reportedly assaulted.

Shortly afterwards, several hundred migrant workers began blocking the traffic in the streets of the town in sign of protest. According to the national news agency Xinhua, the crowd attacked several official buildings with bricks and glass bottles. Twenty-five people were arrested during the first night of protests, but the riots continued for several days. In the evening of Sunday June 12, several thousand protesters burned dozens of vehicles and clashed with law enforcement agents at a busy highway intersection."

Will Vancouver housing market go the way of the Canucks?

Carney came as close as any central banker ever could on Wednesday to saying some parts of the Canadian housing market are in a bubble with some cities prices now 13 per cent above their pre-recession peaks. Prices collapsing from all-time highs in Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver & Ottawa pose a risk to the financial system as real estate loans now make up more than 40 per cent of Canadian banks’ assets, compared with 30 per cent a decade ago, a situation he called "unprecedented exposure."

THE CITY OF SASKATOON IS A SHIT HOLE. It is June 16th and many streets in Saskatoon have not yet been cleaned. Circle drive, on and off ramps from the freeway, all streets in industrial areas, much of STONEBRIDGE (a new development where the average taxes paid are 3500.00 dollars per year). WTF is wrong with this city? Why have the voters in Saskatoon given Don Atchison and Murry Totland a free ride. This dynamic duo has been at the heart of what is wrong with this city. Services are declining while taxes go up and up. Don Atchison, TAX AND SPEND LIBERAL. If you have any money left in your pocket, Don has not taxed you enough.

ping- now go put on that pointy hat and sit in the corner while you contemplate your faux pas...

On one of the rare moments I land on a CBC station, I saw an ad for a show hosted by Mark Kelley. I was taken aback by the fact this thing is still on TV.
I was sitting in a coffee shop in 1998, on the day of the Swiss Air crash, off the coast of NS. The big TV was tuned to the CBC broadcast, and everyone was watching in a sombre mood. After a break, the camera turned to Mark Kelley, who was laughing his head off, and joking with the crew. When he noticed he was on air, he turned white as a ghost, in what should have been the realization his career was over. Not so! I stopped watching CBC right then and there.

Ping ponged.

The rioter receiving a flashbang to the nuts was plenty light and hilarious for my lowbrow sense of humor. It nails him, and then he looks downward just in time to watch the explosion knock him on his ass. It doesn't get much better than that...

He's from Barcelona you know. Too funny.

Weiner’s In-Laws’ Secret Muslim Brotherhood Connections

Was Huma Abedin — wife of Anthony Weiner and deputy chief of staff to Hillary Clinton — unaware that her mother was reported as a member of the Muslim Brotherhood?

... Also confirmed by Arab sources is that Huma Abedin has a brother who works at Oxford University named Hassan Abedin. Oxford, which has long been infiltrated by Islamists who founded the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies (OCIS), has Huma’s brother listed as a fellow and partner with a number of Muslim Brotherhood members on the Board — including al-Qaeda associate Omar Naseef and the notorious Muslim Brotherhood leader Sheikh Yusuf Qaradawi. Both have been listed as OCIS trustees. Naseef continues to serve as Board chairman.

"It's simply awful that socialists won't be able to afford Bloomsbury anymore

This story really saddened me. Former cabinet minister Frank Dobson says he can’t afford the private rent in his central London flat, and so may have to move if the Government bans high-earners from living in council houses. Dobson and his wife earn between them £100,000 a year but pay just £160 per week rent in a block where private residents pay £1,000.

Dobson condemned the plans as “wrong”. He said:

Very large numbers of people, who in any other part of the country would be regarded as reasonably well off, are not comfortably off in London because of house prices and rents, which are insane.

If people living in a council property are paying rent and they get a bit better off, if you want mixed communities you want them to stay and not leave so that another impoverished family moves in – because that way you create sink estates.

I agree that house prices are insane. Indeed one has to contrast the way that rising food prices are reported – shock, horror, we’re all going to starve! – with the way that rising house prices were reported in the bubble years – yay, we’re all rich! – and conclude that it’s not just house prices which are insane, but the way they’re reported.

However, I should calm his nerves by reassuring him that his Bloomsbury mansion block is unlikely to become a “sink estate” any time soon.

He’s not the only heroic socialist who has greater needs than the ordinary proletariat."

coach, I was at a friend's house last night, where they watch CBC: we NEVER do! So, I had the misfortune to see the execrable Mark Kelley: he was discussing the riot in Vancouver as if he were chewing the fat about a jolly folk festival or something. He was smiling and laughing: no gravitas at all. I was disgusted.

Except for the classical music on Radio 2, I have no use at all for the CBC. I sincerely hope that the Conservatives substantially trim its peacock wings. What a crew of self-referential idiots.

Whatever you do, DON'T mention the war!

"The Conservative Revolutionary

Walter Russell Mead

The United States is the most revolutionary power in the history of the world, but after more than 200 years of a brilliant revolutionary career we are still not very good at understanding or responding to the revolutions our example, our ideas, our economy and our technology do so much to create.

The Arab spring is the latest example of the clash between America’s revolutionary world role and our pathetic cluelessness about the forces we do so much to promote. The Arab Spring is turning into a long, hot summer. Civil wars in Libya, Syria and Yemen and the sullen silence of the Shi’a in Bahrain have baptized Arab democracy in blood. More will flow — and American foreign policy is befuddled and bemused.

None of the experts look particularly smart at the moment. The ‘realists’ who counseled President Obama to forget George W. Bush’s support of Middle Eastern democracy and cultivate our relations with regional despots like Hosni Mubarak, the Iranian mullahs and the younger Assad have been sent back to the benches in disgrace. Their counsel is now seen as both morally dubious and pragmatically unwise; the ‘realists’ would have put the US on the wrong side of history in the service of unrealistic assumptions about the stability of despotic regimes.

But the idealists who seek to replace them already have egg on their faces."

"These were entirely propaganda sessions designed to convert more people to the faith. That did not happen tonight. The propagandists went home knowing that they face opposition from people who are much more knowledgeable and determined than they are. Our aggressive behavior worked very well indeed. Having more than just one or two people there gave us a much bigger impact.

There's a lengthy article up at MacLean's detailing Jack Layton's life from young man to now.

It was written by Paul Wells,but reads like it was written by Jack himself. The 'community clinic' incident is given a paragraph. In there,these words.
“I don’t even remember the name of the place,” he says. (It was Velvet Touch.) “I thought it was a legit operation until the police told me otherwise.”

I can remember almost every incident in which I have interacted with the police where I was 'possibly' breaking the law,yet Jack forgets the name of the place where his personal and professional life almost came to a soiled end.
I call BS on that.

OTTAWA — The federal government is expected to announce new rules for growing medical marijuana which would make it so only licensed growers would be permitted to cultivate and distribute it.

The move would eliminate individual and private growers from the current system, whereby eligible people apply to Health Canada which then issues the licence.

"NDP Leader Jack Layton said Thursday that the police should be called in when there is evidence of wrongdoing.

"Of course, you have to be presented with evidence on that kind of thing, but when there’s cheating going on, you need to take appropriate action," he said."

"Is the CBC relevant? Does it meet the needs of Canadians? What kind of programming should the CBC provide, and what should it do differently?

If you've got a gripe or something good to say, now's your chance.

And it's a rare chance at that for Canadians to stand up for, or sound off against the public broadcaster that receives $1.1 billion from taxpayers every year.

The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission, the country's broadcast regulator, launched an online consultation Friday until July 18 ahead of the public broadcaster's licence renewal hearing in September."
