  1. Fox:
    “A second federal judge has now ordered the IRS to explain under oath how the agency lost emails from former division director Lois Lerner, the woman at the heart of the Tea Party targeting scandal.”

  2. From a Lois Lerner email exchange with her colleagues:

    I had a question today about OCS [Microsoft Office Communications Server]. I was cautioning folks about email and how we have several occasions where Congress has asked for emails and there has been an electronic search for responsive emails – so we need to be cautious about what we say in emails. Someone asked if OCS conversations were also searchable – I don’t know, but told them I would get back to them. Do you know?

    IRS IT official Maria Hooke:

    No, the IRS does not routinely save chat communications – unless employees intentionally take steps to preserve their conversation. These chat communications are not saved – and this is critical – despite the fact that “the functionality exists within the software.”

    Lerner:

    Perfect.

  3. Pretty much explains Lois Lerner’s need for 5th Amendment… LOL!

  4. “despite the fact that “the functionality exists within the software.” Maria Hooke
    Hmmm… Maria Hooke will has some Jail time she needs to avoid!
    Interesting if she was the one who failed to recover Lerners E-mails. Sure looks like an Obama Conspiracy?

  5. “Among other things, he said he wanted to know the serial number, if any, assigned to the hard drive and if that number is known, “why the computer hard drive cannot be identified and preserved.”
    China may have the drive if recycled, if not why not?

  6. Re: Native Land evictions.
    ”We the people” sit back and let this happen. Does anyone ever really oppose these (or any) land settlements?? I don`t think so.
    When the original story came out on CBC.Ca, my comment was ”Giving Canada away, one hectare at a time.” It was deleted by CBC.
    All I know is that I have a (white) friend who is farming native land. Soooner than later, it`ll go back to the rightful owners. And that`s whoever has the cash to pay for it!

    “Considering how much of our future is at stake, we Canadians are an awfully docile bunch over the fight to get our energy to market.
    Perhaps most of us don’t see how the oilsands/pipeline battle affects us.
    Too bad.”

    “Coldest Antarctic June Ever Recorded”
    “Antarctica continues to defy the global warming script, with a report from Meteo France, that June this year was the coldest Antarctic June ever recorded, at the French Antarctic Dumont d’Urville Station.”

    “Gerard says:

    “On Monday, Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto and Guatemalan president Otto Perez Molina held a joint press conference in Playas de Catazaja, Mexico, to officially announce an agreement to make it easier for those making the illegal journey to the United States from Central America to cross into Mexico.”

  11. Ontario voters pay the price of re-electing the Liberal crooks.
    “The provincial election that took place in June was actually supposed to create jobs. A million if you had asked former Progressive Conservative leader Tim Hudak, but at least a few thousand if you had asked Statistics Canada economists. Instead, this month’s On-terrible report shows that the province net lost almost 34,000 jobs on its own. That’s right kids, without Ontario we actually gained over 24,000 jobs this month.”

    “While Canada net lost 9,400 jobs, the province of Alberta net gained 9,400 jobs. They don’t call it black gold for nothing.”

    “Spanish newspaper: Europe got Muslims for Jews”
    “The truth must be told! All European life died in Auschwitz
    By Sebastian Vilar Rodrigez*
    I walked down the street in Barcelona, and suddenly discovered a terrible truth – Europe died in Auschwitz.
    We killed six million Jews and replaced them with 20 million Muslims. In Auschwitz we burned a culture, thought, creativity, and talent. We destroyed the chosen people, truly chosen, because they produced great and wonderful people who changed the world.”

  14. Goal: total population control.
    —————-
    “The ultimate goal of the NSA is total population control”, Binney said, “but I’m a little optimistic with some recent Supreme Court decisions, such as law enforcement mostly now needing a warrant before searching a smartphone.”
    He praised the revelations and bravery of former NSA contractor Edward Snowden and told me that he had indirect contact with a number of other NSA employees who felt disgusted with the agency’s work. They’re keen to speak out but fear retribution and exile, not unlike Snowden himself, who is likely to remain there for some time.
    Unlike Snowden, Binney didn’t take any documents with him when he left the NSA. He now says that hard evidence of illegal spying would have been invaluable. The latest Snowden leaks, featured in the Washington Post, detail private conversations of average Americans with no connection to extremism.

    “Brisbane hits coldest temperature in 103 years”
    “Matt Bass, meteorologist from BOM, said the region was well below our average temperatures.
    “If it felt cold, that’s because it was, breaking that record is pretty phenomenal for Brisbane,” Bass said.
    “The average for this time of year is 12C, so Brisbane was about 9C below average, it is pretty impressive really, to have the coldest morning in 103 years is a big record.””
    ““Clermont in the coal fields got down to -4.5 which is a new record for them, their previous record was -3.7, which was set yesterday, so they’ve re-broken their record two days in a row.”
    All these cold temperatures are being brought on as cold air moves up from the south, combined with clear nights.
    “We are seeing a series of cold fronts push really cold air across South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales, which has brought low level snow.”
