They Took All The Rights, Put ‘Em In A Rights Museum
Ethnic cleansing at Kahnawake;
The eviction letter tells non-natives they have 10 days to leave the reserve: “We trust that you understand the seriousness of this letter and that you will govern yourselves accordingly.” […]
In 1981, the community announced a moratorium on mixed marriages, which meant that non-natives who married Mohawks after that year would no longer have the right to live on the reserve. Any non-native who had married a Mohawk before the moratorium is still permitted to live on the reserve.
In the 1980s, some Mohawks contested the policy before the human rights tribunal, but lost. The courts have ruled that Mohawks can make any membership policy they deem necessary for their survival as a people.

Drudge Report – CBSNEWS anchorwoman and 60 MINUTES contributor Katie Couric faces a dramatic pay cut at the network, insiders tell the DRUDGE REPORT. CBS boss Les Moonves is determined to save money and trim expenses — from top to bottom — at the former crown jewel of broadcasting.
Mediaite – Fox News had its best January in the history of the network, and was the only cable news network to grow year-to-year.
The First American Prime Minister On Haiti
Surely it’s just a coincidence that Ignatieff’s first major policy statement about abortion has to do with Haiti and other Third World minorities, right? I mean, it’s not like Planned Parenthood was founded by a racist woman who called blacks “reckless breeders” and had a special “Negro Project” right? I mean, Planned Parenthood would never argue that eugenics was the best solution of racial, political and social problems would they?
Right?

The First American Prime Minister On Haiti
Really, where better to start?
Someone really needs to get him on the record answering that question. (Just think of the photo op … “Prime Minister Michael Ignatieff at the Morgentaler Clinic, Port-Au-Prince ribbon cutting”.)

Tommy Douglas: Not Dead Enough
Retired teacher Jo Danielson is living on the edge with an abdominal aneurysm, a dangerous bulge in her aorta, the largest single artery in the body. […] But she will have to wait until April, when the Vancouver IslandHealth Authority’s next budget year begins. The health authority has placed a cost-saving, yearly cap on the stent procedure because of the extra cost.
And that’s why our ailing political elites should be forced to choose between resignation or waiting anonymously for the same legislative cattle cars they’ve arranged for the rest of us. And why will that never happen?
Eric from Vancouver – “Our health is a political football, their health is IMPORTANT.”

Y2Kyoto: 4 Trillion Reasons Why The World Needs To Warm
Guess what? The man responsible for looking after the fat pensions of the boys and girls at the BBC is a climate change fanatic, and he is part of an international group of investment managers who bust a gut to invest in ‘climate change’ schemes. He’s called Peter Dunscombe, and he runs the £8.2bn corporation pension fund, advising trustees on a day-to-day basis about their investments. Mr Dunscombe, who addresses conferences about ‘ethical investments’, is also chairman of the Institutional Investment Group on Climate Change(IIGCC), which has 47 members and manages four trillion euros’ worth of investments; yes, four trillion. Their goal is to find as many ‘climate change’ investment opportunities as possible:
All that, and Jim Prentice’s “reputation” science, too.

Y2Kyoto: QOTW (bumped)
“The WWF was more credible when it stood for fake wrestling.”
Update:
For exactly what sort of activist organization is WWF? It is commonly assumed that it is a private advocacy organization funded by donations from the public: in other words, a “non-governmental organization” or “NGO.” But closer inspection of WWF’s finances reveals that the “NGO” moniker is here — as indeed in so many cases — a misnomer. It would be more accurate to describe WWF rather as a “PGO”: a para-governmental organization. In fact, WWF receives massive funding from states. Moreover, it receives massive funding not from just any states, but from precisely that federation of states that has made combating supposed “global warming” into one of its highest policy priorities, if not indeed its highest priority — namely, the European Union.
