No Prizes for Erdogan

In a bid to salvage Turkey's ties to Israel and so increase waning Congressional support for Turkey, the Obama administration has been mediating talks between Israel and Turkey for the past few months. According to news reports, the administration is now pressuring Israel to agree to Erdogan's demand for an apology and to pay compensation to the families of those killed onboard the Mavi Marmara. The U.S. is also demanding that Turkey agree not to press damages or war crimes claims against Israeli personnel in international or other courts.

Robert,

On the morality of a consumer thingy.

Let's say you bought the camera from the guy that let you hold it. It cost $300 more than the online store ($1500 instead of $1200).

When you went into the post office, to buy a stamp to send in the warranty for the camera, someone broke into your new car and stole the new camera. The deductible for theft on your ICBC policy is $300.

Questions:

1) If ICBC cut you a check for $1200 ($1500-$300 deductible) who would you buy the replacement camera from?

2) Do you think it's fair if ICBC cut you a check for $900 ($1200 -$300 deductible) because it's the real replacement value?

"Arctic scientist who wrote of drowned polar bears faces ‘integrity’ probe"

"A U.S. wildlife biologist whose observation in 2004 of presumably drowned polar bears in the Arctic helped to galvanize the global warming movement has been placed on administrative leave and is being investigated for scientific misconduct, possibly over the veracity of that article.

Charles Monnett, an Anchorage-based scientist with the U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement, or BOEMRE, was told July 18 that he was being put on leave, pending results of an investigation into “integrity issues.” But he has not yet been informed by the inspector general’s office of specific charges or questions related to the scientific integrity of his work, said Jeff Ruch, executive director of Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility."

"On Thursday, Mr. Ruch’s watchdog group plans to file a complaint with the agency on Mr. Monnett’s behalf, asserting that Obama administration officials have “actively persecuted” him in violation of policy intended to protect scientists from political interference."

"The article and presentations drew international attention and helped make the polar bear something of a poster child for the global warming movement. Al Gore’s mention of the polar bear in his documentary on climate change, An Inconvenient Truth, came up during investigators’ questioning of Mr. Gleason in January.

In May 2008, the U.S. classified the polar bear as a threatened species, the first with its survival at risk due to global warming.

According to a transcript, investigator Eric May asked Mr. Gleason his thoughts on Mr. Gore referencing the dead polar bears. Mr. Gleason said none of the polar bear papers he has written or co-authored has said “anything really” about global warming.

“It’s something along the lines of the changing environment in the Arctic,” he said.

Mr. Gleason said others put their own spin on research or observations."

I never deny climate. Yesterday on the six o'clock news they noted that the all-time high for July 27 was set in 1936.

Bam bam your religion is a scam, wakie wakie for heaven sakie. But Al bore and friends adore you just the way you are. Compliant and wallets at the ready to funnel into their wallets...

This 1934 cartoon seems timely right about now:

Poor Bam Bam. Imagine his embarrassment when, at the age of 85, he realizes what a fool he was when he was younger and he attempts to hide the fact that he swallowed this guff when he was the same age as his grandchildren.

Bam Bam, there is absolutely nothing in that article that even addresses, let alone claims, that CO2 or human activity is driving temperatures up. This is nothing but normal climate variation that has been with us, or should I say, with the earth, for eons. There have been periods of time when the temperatures were much colder at the same time as the concentration of CO2 was significantly higher than today.

And by the way, last winter there were numerous record cold temperatures recorded, too. Did you triumphantly parade those around in front of your pals? No. I didn't think so.

Yeah Bam Bam. Did you forget to read this part of the article?

"For some states, the recent heat wave was just a continuation of hot, dry conditions that have persisted since earlier in the year.

Abilene, Texas has seen 44 days with temperatures of 100°F (37.7°C) so far this year, meaning 2011 has tied 1934 for the most days above 100°F since records began in 1886.

Similarly, San Angelo, Texas has seen 60 days with temperatures above 100°F this year. The last time that happened was in 1969."

It's happened before and probably millions of more times before records began.

I would like to know if this article is reporting the actual temperatures or the modified ones with the humidex.

Here's a nice little article I read on Yahoo News this morning: New NASA Data Blow Gaping Hold In Global Warming Alarmism

No doubt the weathernetworknews.com reports would have said the same thing one thousand years ago when Lief Erickson landed in Greenland.

Media insinuates Bachmann should not be prez because she has migraines. Nor Perry because his back cannot tolerate cowboy boots. Christie would be a risk in the top position because he is over weight and has been hospitalized, short of breath. Palin is just waaay too good looking. But Obama was the one the media puffed because ... he has the reasoning power of a grade sixer?? Kool - great minds think alike.

In the days since the Oslo massacre a Norwegian philosophy professor and "specialist on multiculturalism" named Lars Gule has been quoted widely in the Canadian newspapers and interviewed on the CBC.

So what is the background of this go-to analyst?

In 1977 Lars Gule embarked on a mission to bomb a hotel where certain Israeli citizens were scheduled to meet. His mission was foiled by Lebanese Customs officials who caught Gule attempting to board a flight with 800 grams of explosives in his possession. Gule was convicted, sentenced to prison, and labeled “Norway’s first international terrorist…..When interviewed afterwards, Gule said he was chosen for the operation because it was easier for an apparent European tourist to smuggle explosives across the border and confessed to being fully aware of the purpose of his mission. Gule added that it was up to him to see how well he could place the bomb, however the most important objective was to create an explosion. Gule stated that he did not regret participating in the planned terrorist act. He said that, while he once believed that it was possible to create a societal revolt without violence, he now believed that the use of weapons is needed in order to cure injustices because no one gives up his rights without a fight.”

"Down with art!: the age of manifestos"

"Future fetishists and artists who don’t paint: how the revolutionary aims of the avant-garde led to the ‘sick joke’ of postmodernism"

"In the world of polite letters, literature is the enemy of programmes, polemics, sectarian rancour, the sour stink of doctrinal orthodoxies. It is the home of the unique particular, the provisional and exploratory, of everything that resists being reduced to a scheme or an agenda. This, one might note, is a fairly recent point of view. That literature should be free of doctrinal orthodoxy would have come as a surprise to Dante and Milton. Swift is a great writer full of sectarian rancour. Terms like “provisional” and “exploratory” do not best characterize Samuel Johnson’s literary views.

Nor do they best describe the views of the various twentieth-century avant-gardes, which set out to demolish this whole conception of art. From the Futurists and Constructivists to the Surrealists and Situationists, art became militant, partisan and programmatic. It was to be liberated from the libraries and museums and integrated with everyday life. In time, the distinction between art and life, the playful and the pragmatic, would be erased. There were to be no more professional artists, just common citizens who occasionally wrote a poem or made a piece of sculpture. The summons rang out to abandon one’s easel and design useful objects for working people, as some of the Russian Constructivists did. Poets were to read their poetry through megaphones in factory yards, or scribble their verses on the shirt-fronts of passing strangers. A moustache was appended to the Mona Lisa. A Soviet theatre director took over a whole naval port for several days, battleships and all, and commandeered its 300,000 citizens for his cast."

Her direct response includes:

"If you have Wi-Fi in your home, turn it off when you are sleeping. Locate the router away from where your kids are sleeping. Urge your kids to text more than talk with the phone to their head."

Does she not realize that WiFi routers put out an absolute maximum power of 1 watt? Does she also realize that power lines put out EMF?

Why Are The Arabs Stiffing "Palestine​"?..............by Dan Friedman

In his latest post on his Council on Foreign Relations blog, Middle East expert Elliott Abrams says “the Palestinian Authority is nearly broke and cannot meet its payroll... It is solely because Arab states are not paying up...”

It's time the USA took its cue from the Arabs. After all, they know their neighborhood best. Since they created it, the Arabs understand better than anyone that a "Palestinian state" is a jury-rigged legend fabricated to be a thorn in Israel’s side - and they’ve concluded its quickly becoming more trouble and more treasure than it’s worth. To use today’s parlance, the Palestine meme is “unsustainable.” “Palestine” is approaching the end of its shelf-life, so why throw good money after bad? The pitiful irony is, the American foreign policy establishment, and its careerists like Abrams, take a “Palestinian state” much more seriously than the Arabs do themselves. Their jobs depend on it. And that’s why American taxpayers are left holding the bag.

Will The Arab League Pay For Palestine?

Posted on Tuesday, July 26, 2011

by Elliott Abrams

Will the Arab League pay up?

Because donors are not meeting their pledges, the Palestinian Authority is nearly broke and cannot meet its payroll. The PA told a specially convened session of the Arab League today that it needs an immediate injection of $300 million. Already, PA employees are on half salary.

This is not because the United States or the EU is failing to support the PA financially, nor because Israel is failing to pass on withheld tax revenues it collects on behalf of the PA; the US, EU, and Israel are meeting their commitments. It is solely because Arab states are not paying up, as PA Prime Minister Salam Fayyad has candidly pointed out.

And yesterday PA foreign minister Riad al-Maliki said the same thing: “The importance of the meeting is that it has become urgent that the Arab countries meet their financial obligations, particularly given the looming possibility that the Palestinian Authority will be unable to pay salaries for this current month and the next one, which is Ramadan.”

This is a simple and quick test of the oil-rich Gulf states, and especially Saudi Arabia. With crude oil in the area of $100 a barrel, it is not a measure of their financial ability; they have the money. And that being the case, this is a far better test than speeches and UN votes of just how committed to Palestinian progress they really are.

A response to Bam Bam @ 8:00am

TWN is not exactly an objective source. One of their "reporters", Kelly Noseworthy, has done numerous "reports" in the past, praising the McGuinty gov't and it's environmental policy, making her reports sound more like an infomercial for the Lib govt more than an reporting objectively on the matter. Case in point: when the environmental watchdog of the province, Gord Miller, blasted McGuinty for not being on pace to meet his 2014 commitment to close all the province's coal plants by 2014, not surprisingly she did not file a report.

Not to worry though for people like you. After Hudak becomes premier after this fall's Ontario election, it will be Kyoto redux, with the media demanding to know why the new premier will not have all the coal plants closed by that deadline.

Ken (Kulak) at 10:33 AM: "No doubt the weathernetworknews.com reports would have said the same thing one thousand years ago when Lief Erickson landed in Greenland."

There's a nasty little quote in explorer Samuel Hearne's journal (in the Hudson's Bay archives). Samuel Hearne (1745 – 1792). Hearne was employed by the Hudson's Bay Company to travel into the north, to Inuit territory:

""I have observed during my several journeys in those parts that all the way to the north of Seal River the edge of the wood is faced with old withered stumps, and trees which have been flown (sic) down by the wind….Those blasted trees are found in some parts extend to a distance of twenty miles from the living woods, and detached patches of them are much farther off; which is proof that the cold has been increasing in these parts for some ages. Indeed some of the older Northern Indians have assured me that they have heard their fathers and grandfathers say, they remembered the greatest part of those places where the trees are now blasted and dead, in a flourishing state."

Oops! We'll have to rewrite those journals.
