Good evening ladies and gentlemen, welcome to SDA Late Nite Radio. Tonight, for your delectation, and pursuant to SDA LNR Archive Maintenance, we have a new version of one of the top dozen available Interwebothique Late Nite Radio Shows that we listed here when we officially started this gig over a year ago, which is a good thing since that version we had previously linked to has long since gone away, and for bonus points, not only that, but both the audio and the video are better in this version, and there are lyrics too, already. So, then, without further ado, here are James Brown and Luciano Pavarotti performing It’s a Man’s World ¤ (4:40).
Your Reader Tips are, as always, welcome in the comments.
This is interesting. Dire if true.
White House Anti-Israel Cabal Controlling U.S. Policy

Forty years ago today Apollo 11 launched into space heading for the first lunar landing. I remember watching all those broadcasts and the news anchor who described it for us was Walter Cronkite. Sadly, that deep gravelly voice is no longer with us as Walter Cronkite passed away today.
There are a lot of folks out there who will miss him and the caliber of news anchors of that era. RIP
super interesting Vitruvius…

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — The top-performing letter that predicted the Crash of 2008 now predicts a confiscatory Franklin D. Roosevelt-style “bank holiday.” But it’s surprisingly sanguine about stocks — in the (very) short term.
Tomorrow is the 40th anniversary of an often underreported event.
Great selection Vit., thanks for that!
Some people have wondered why I, an electrical engineer, haven’t gotten excited about e-books like the Kindle.
This morning, hundreds of Kindle users awoke to find that e-books they thought they had bought and paid for had been erased from their systems. Apparently, the publisher decided it didn’t want an e-version of the books available, told Amazon, and Amazon quietly and without prior notice erased the books. They were gracious enough to refund what the people had paid. Full story on the front page at “slashdot.org”.
Oh, and the books? Nineteeneightyfour and Animal Farm.

What are your thoughts on a recent CDN Supreme Court ruling where a drug dealer is now aquitted after his SUV was stopped on an Ontario highway, and 4.5 million of cocaine was discovered inside the vehicle. Keep in mind that the SUV had it’s front plate missing. (Two plates are required in Ontario.)
The reason for the aquittal?? The cops had “no just cause” to stop him.
My take on this? Perhaps the shipment was going to the supreme court judges! Sorry–but that’s how I feel.
Vit, thank you for tonight’s selection.
Walter Cronkite is the only newsman I remember from when I was a kid.
Now here’s entrepreneurship:
“Dealer offers AK-47 with each new truck purchase”
Think about this … James Brown + Luciano Pavarotti???
Remarkable!
P/S … when I was a Kid Cronkite WAS the only newsman. Wasn’t he?
Well it seems that way because he was the only guy to be the host of multiple TV news programs PLUS he was a regular news anchor. I recall Sunday evenings with the program “The 20th Century”.
But, recall Chet Huntley and David Brinkly?
Then there was the local stuff with some puffed up dufus in a bad hair piece and a cheap suit reading off pieces of foolscap paper….
Of course back then you got 3 or 4 channels and they were broadcasting a static graphic image half the time and were completely OFF the air for the entire night.
The world is no better now …. it’s just that the TV is 3 or 4 hundred channels and it NEVER stops.
No more content than 50 years ago just more repetition and a lot less quality.
For quality I visit places like this …
Goodnight Vit…
The passing of Walter Cronkite brings to mind the question: Were the newscasters of yore more reliable or were we just more accepting of their reporting.
From Bourque
Is Iggy saying that Trudeau and Chretien and Martin were just pretenders on the world stage ?? Wonder what wk has to say about this ? Watch for a grilling from Pamsbridge tomorrow on The National and front page headlines in the Globe – wk defending JC and MI at the same time. Pretzel.
[It wasn’t long ago that Michael Ignatieff had harsh words for Canada]
[..]
[Ignatieff gave the lecture while he was director of Harvard’s Carr Center for Human Rights Policy. The talk, which received brief mention in Canadian media at the time, reiterated Ignatieff’s belief that the U.S. is a force for good in the world. “Don’t forget that the speech given by a U.S. president that most committed the United States to the promotion of human rights and democracy in the Arab world was given by George W. Bush,” he said. He later told the Irish Times that he was taken aback by the “waves of anti-American and anti-Bush feeling in an Irish audience.” It was in the question-and-answer session which followed, and which has never been reported, that Ignatieff was most critical of Canada.]
[..]
[Ignatieff had already backed away from his support of the Iraq war when he gave the speech, though he still praised George W. Bush’s foreign policy at a time when then-Liberal prime minister Paul Martin was attacking Bush for what he said was the U.S. president’s lack of “global conscience.” Canada certainly didn’t fare well in Ignatieff’s speech; Ignatieff portrays the country as a somewhat frustrated, reflexively anti-American middling power that has become something of a pretender on the world stage.]
The Liberal leader saying Bush USA good, Chretien Canada bad ? Can’t be.

For comparison purposes with the SCC ruling (I gather it’s the case today named Harrison), here’s the beginning of the Chatterjee case at the Supreme Court, 17 April 2009:
The police arrested C for breach of probation and, in a search of his car incidental to the arrest, discovered cash and items that not only were associated with the illicit drug trade but also smelled of marijuana but found no drugs. C was never charged with any offence in relation to the money, items, or with any drug related activity. The Attorney General of Ontario was granted an order under the Civil Remedies Act, 2001 (“CRA”) preserving the seized money and equipment. He then applied under ss. 3 and 8 of the CRA for forfeiture of the seized money as proceeds of unlawful activity. In response, C challenged the CRA’s constitutionality, arguing that the CRA’s forfeiture provisions were ultra vires the province because they encroach on the federal criminal law power. Both the applications judge and the Court of Appeal concluded that the CRA is a valid provincial legislation.
Held: The appeal should be dismissed. The CRA’s forfeiture provisions are constitutional.
So Chatterjee wasn’t even charged with a crime but his cash was confiscated, yet a pile of cocaine is thrown out as evidence in today’s case because the Charter rights of the suspects were violated. After the Chatterjee decision, I would not have thought Canadians had any Charter rights at all.
Justice in Canada is in BIG trouble.
Maybe they were just moving the drugs from Martin’s former shipping line CSL or some diver swam under the truck and hid the drugs when it was parked at the mall.
Rev. @9:46 – wait, now it’s anti-Zionist cabals running U.S. foreign policy? But for years they’ve been telling me… I mean… oy vey, indeed.
I thought James Brown sounded very good next to Pavarotti, in fact I preferred him; I was worried at first.

“Is Obama’s presidency threatened?
Rajinder Puri
Even while US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton pursues her five-day visit to India, an event has occurred in the USA that could conceivably snowball into a major controversy to cut short President Obama’s tenure.
Article 2, Section 1 of the US Constitution states: “No person except a US born citizen… shall be eligible to the office of President.”
During the last US campaign a controversy arose about Obama’s birthplace. Critics were unsure if he was born in the USA or Kenya. Obama’s campaign committee released a Hawaiian birth certificate on 13 June, 2008. Sceptics alleged that it had signs of forgery.
Obama maintained he was born in Hawaii. One hospital, Honolulu ‘s Kapi’olani Medical Center for Women and Children, claims it received a letter from the President declaring his birth there. But White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs refused to authenticate the letter. For nearly six months the hospital proudly declared Obama was born at its facility to create poll hype. Later it covered up and refused to confirm if the letter actually existed. The letter was purportedly signed by Barak Obama. If the signature was forged it was a most serious offence. Was any action taken against the Hospital?
This week the controversy about Obama’s birthplace resurfaced dramatically.”

“Cool weekend: A polar punch is on the way
Shawn D. Lewis / The Detroit News
White Lake Township — Might want to dig out the thermal underwear this weekend.
Temperatures are expected to dip down to 69 degrees — for the high, that is, on Saturday. The last time temperatures sank that low on a July 18 was in 1886, according to the National Weather Service in White Lake Township.
“This weekend should feel like early October around here,” said meteorologist Bill Deedler of the National Weather Service. “The normal high for Oct. 1 is 68 degrees. There’s also a 30 percent chance of rain Saturday with lows in the lower 50s.””

“Health Care Bill Will Fund State Vaccine Teams to Conduct ‘Interventions’ in Private Homes
(CNSNews.com) – There is a knock at the front door. Peeking through the window, a mother sees a man and a woman, both in uniform. They are agents of health-care reform.
“Excuse me, ma’am,” says the man. “Our records show that your eleven-year-old daughter has not been immunized for genital warts.”
“And your four-year-old still needs the chicken-pox vaccine,” says the woman.
“He will not be allowed to start kindergarten unless he gets that shot, you know,” says the man—smiling from ear to ear.
“So, can we please come in?” asks the woman. “We have the vaccines right here,” she says, lifting up a black medical bag. “We can give your kids the shots right now.”
“We are from the government,” says the man, “and we’re here to help.”

“Olympic finances melt down
VANCOUVER — Dave Cobb has his Games face on. Screwed on tight. Executive vice-president and deputy chief executive with Vancouver’s 2010 Olympic Winter Games organizing committee (VANOC), he’s the main numbers man, responsible for delivering six months from now a break-even mega-party.
Can he manage? His expression doesn’t change.
Yes, he says, he can.
We hope. Like it or not, we are all invested parties. Whether by circumstance or choice, taxpayers and private sponsors have bet that an extravagant, international entertainment event will bring significant returns to Vancouver, to British Columbia, to Canadians.
Before the world economy soured, the odds at breaking even looked pretty good. Money flowed into VANOC coffers; relatively little was handed out. The committee’s budget projections seemed about right. The Games’ books could balance.”

“Freedom trampled by tyrants
Mao Zedong once posed the question “Why can an egg but not a stone be transformed into a chicken?”
In his essay On Contradiction, Mao provided the answer. In educating Communist party members he wrote, “in order to understand the development of a thing we should study it internally and in its relations with other things.”
For Mao as a Marxist the causes of any development were internal and all of history could be explained through the mechanics of class struggle. He wrote, “The fundamental cause of the development of a thing is not external but internal.”
Mao was basically right. No amount of external heat applied to a stone will hatch a chicken.
Mao also knew the dictatorship of the proletariat his Communist party imposed on China was a massive tyranny. Mao’s Communist party was responsible for killing more than 70 million Chinese, a number that dwarfs the imagination of most people as to what modern tyranny can mean.
The chicken of China’s ethnic unrest — the recent instance of Uighur unrest in Xinjiang — comes as a result of endless internal oppression, Han Chinese chauvinism and denial of basic human rights to minorities.
China is not alone as a tyranny.”

Honduras referendum fraud? say it ain’t so Hugo!
http://babalublog.com has translated into english from a Catalan newspaper (www.europapress.cat) a report that the recently ousted president of Honduras was found to have in a building attached to the presidential palace, some computers with the “official and certified results of the illegal constitutional referendum Zelaya wanted to conduct that never took place”.
I wonder if Jimmy Carter had already drawn up a letter stating how he found these results to be both fair and true results “from the people”.
The Carter Center continues to refer to the change in presidents there as a coup…

“Majority of Canadians back visa rules, poll finds
69 per cent favour minister’s move to clamp down on flow of visitors from Mexico, Czech Republic
“More than two-thirds of Canadians support the federal government’s visa requirements for visitors from Mexico and Czech Republic, according to a new poll.
The Toronto Star/Angus Reid survey found 69 per cent agree with the visa requirements announced Monday, including 39 per cent who voiced strong agreement.
Immigration Minister Jason Kenney said the move was necessary to stem what the government believed was a tide of bogus refugee claimants from the countries in recent years.”

“How can wind turbines generate so much lunacy?
To meet our peak demand of 56 gigawatts of electricity would require 112,000 turbines covering 11,000 square miles, or an eighth of Britain’s entire land area, says Christopher Booker.
It would be hard to beat the sad gullibility with which the media last week reported the plans of Lord Mandelson and our Climate Change Secretary Ed Miliband to cover our countryside and sea with 10,000 more huge wind turbines. According to one newspaper, it would need “an area of only 70 square miles to generate Britain’s total power requirements”.
Well, no, actually. To meet our peak demand of 56 gigawatts of electricity would require 112,000 turbines covering 11,000 square miles, or an eighth of Britain’s entire land area.
Another newspaper solemnly reported that a new study shows that “a well-placed turbine could make enough energy to power 825,000 homes”. Well, no, actually. The figure for a single 2 megawatt turbine would be just 825 homes, meaning that the newspaper was only 100,000 per cent wrong.
Even more alarming than the media’s credulity is that of the ministers themselves, in seriously trying to pretend that their £100 billion dream of building three giant turbines every day between now and 2020 has the faintest practical hope of being realised, let alone that it would serve any useful purpose to do so.
Most alarming of all, however, in the desperation to reach EU “renewables” target, is the setting up of a new Infrastructure Planning Commission to force through thousands of these absurd objects over the wishes of local people and councils, who are now to be robbed of any right of appeal.”

The world’s richest man has joined the battle against the world’s most destructive weather. Bill Gates, the co-founder of Microsoft, is backing inventors and climate scientists who claim to have devised a technique for diminishing the power of hurricanes.
Gates was named last week among a group of weather experts who have applied for patents on a system for lowering ocean temperatures. Using a fleet of barges equipped with pumps, Gates and his team believe a hurricane can be slowed by cooling the tropical waters that fuel its progress.”
