  1. Holy shit… this guy gets it:

    Our issues did not germinate in a vacuum, but I believe the best way to get out of our socioeconomical malaise is to spend less time looking at what white people like Limbaugh are supposedly doing to us and more time looking at what we’re definitely doing to ourselves. More time charting a new course based on personal responsibility, not victimhood and the retelling of stories, because let me tell you, some of those stories have been touched up so many times it’s hard to know what’s true anyway.

  2. Lowell Green talked this a.m. about the new solar project in Eastern Ontario. Expensive — to the tune of $100 million which went primarily to a French company (courtesy, of course, of Ontario taxpayers). This strikes me as being a bit suspicious. Sure enough — following an article about this in the Ottawa Citizen, a commenter notes that the company is managed by a Canadian name Jon Kieran — who may be the same Jon Kieran who was previously: was the Coordinator, Distributed Energy, Conservation and Distributed Energy Branch, Office of Conservation and Strategic Policy, Ministry of Energy for the Province of Ontario. I also wonder who owned all the land purchased for this venture. The plan is to spend an additional $5 billion — could we be looking at another e-health boondoggle?

  3. The Warning
    Looking back into the 1990s, veteran FRONTLINE producer/director Michael Kirk (Inside the Meltdown, Breaking the Bank) discovers early warnings of the crash, reveals an intense battle among high-ranking members of the Clinton administration and uncovers a concerted effort not to regulate the emerging, highly-complex and lucrative derivatives markets that would become the ticking time bomb within the American economy….At the center of it all he finds Brooksley Born, who speaks for the first time on television about her failed campaign to regulate the secretive, multitrillion-dollar derivatives market whose crash helped trigger the financial collapse in the fall of 2008….

    Prophet and Loss
    Brooksley Born warned that unchecked trading in the credit market could lead to disaster, but power brokers in Washington ignored her. Now we’re all paying the price.

  4. I normally like radio shows. If you’re out driving late at night, nothing passes the time better than The Shadow or Sam Spade. As for Candy, she may be cute, but her voice is just too annoying. Sounds like my ex.

  6. Fort Ord Story – Can’t say it’s before my time, but damn near.
    Due to discussions on this blog site (and encouraged thereby) I went out and started my own little hoard of incandescent light bulbs. The next day while reading correspondence in the Spectator, it was pointed out that the heat generated by these little gems is not wasted energy, but goes toward heating the room in which it is situated (which is mostly good in these climes) It’s just a bonus that I can see what I’m doing too.

  8. During the first two weeks of December, Maurice Strong’s intellectual heirs in their thousands will congregate at the United Nations Copenhagen Climate Conference to discuss and, in the hopes of the organizers, codify the post-Kyoto processes to deal with so-called anthropogenic global warming. The implications of any agreement by Canada to bind itself into whatever accord comes out of Kyoto are absolutely chilling. They are well-described by Kevin Libin in an article in the National Post on Saturday, October 10, 2009.

    Here is the money quote:
    “The fact that this UN body anoints itself a “government” responsible for taxation, enforcement and redistribution according to paragraph 38, Annex 1, of the treaty should worry any nation that values its sovereignty, says Christopher Monckton, a former policy advisor to Margaret Thatcher’s U.K. government, and an advisor to the British-based Science and Public Policy Institute, a research and advocacy group that rejects the theory of man-made global warming. Paragraph 200, Annex 3b, for example, requires signatories to submit to the UN their plans to reduce emissions, which “shall be reviewed as part of the annual compilation and accounting of emission inventories and assigned amount,” suggesting that if the UN doesn’t like a certain country’s plan to cut greenhouse gases (GHGs), it has the power to deny assigned emission allowances until it sees a plan it does — potentially, he says, leaving countries without full control of their own environmental policy.
    “Any elected leader who signed the climate treaty would be signing the death-warrant of his nation’s democracy,” says Lord Monckton.” ”
    I had the good fortune to attend a presentation by Lord Monckton in Winnipeg on October 8, hosted by the Frontier Centre for Public Policy. The Centre also hosted Lord Monckton’s presentation in Calgary (October 2) and Regina (October 7). His presentation was lengthy, but very easy to follow because it was well organized, fact-filled and deftly presented. In summary: mankind’s contribution to global warming is very minor within the overall framework of climate change in natural history, and it is likely benign. The propagandists who are exhorting a huge investment in treasure and the assignment of national sovereignty to the UN are relying on faulty science. There aren’t enough resources in the world to arrest or turn back the climate and it is the height of hubris to imagine that mankind can make that kind of change.
    The Frontier Centre has made Lord Monckton’s annotated presentation available on its website. It is quite long, the live presentation lasted over 100 minutes. But for anyone who is interested in this thorough debunking of the climate myth, it is worth two hours of your time. See it at: http://www.fcpp.org/publication.php/2987
    This should be required reading for Prime Minister Harper and Minister Prentice before they seal our fate as just another cipher nation, with our economy and democracy subverted to a corrupt organization in the name of a myth channeled into a global hoax of unprecedented proportions. If you have any influence on any senior federal politician, now is the time to use it.

  11. In that same “huge” Peace rally mentioned in the previous thread was this big pile of kangaroo manure by an Australian “journalist” named Bob Ellis.
    Not knowing who he was, I kept reading, looking for the punchline to show that he was deliberately being sarcastic. But he was not!
    It’s absolutely unbelievable what religious-like fervor such Rabid Leftists have for their heroes such as Barack Obama & Al Gore!!!

  15. “Is political correctness to blame for lack of coverage over horrific black-on-white killings in America’s Deep South?”
    “But, even though the killings happened in January, 2007, they have attracted very little national and international coverage.
    That’s because they do not fit into the conventional contours of an attack in America’s Deep South, where a shameful history of racial intolerance has meant assaults by whites on blacks have historically been regarded in the context of race.
    In this case, the races were reversed: the victims were white and the four men and one woman charged in connection with the murders are black.
    Ironically, the case has now generated more publicity surrounding the furore over whether or not political correctness was behind the US media’s decision to largely ignore the story than it did for the murders themselves.”

  16. well it;s murder yes, but it;s not “murder murder”. uff this keyboard;s a mess.

  18. “Obama and Harper: A Tale of Two Leaders
    The American president gets accolades; the Canadian prime minister gets results.”
    “There is a powerful irony at work here.
    President Obama is well on his way to ruining the American economy and reducing the nation’s defensive posture before an increasingly threatening world.
    The evidence for so unflattering an assessment is bluntly undeniable, at least for those who have managed to resist hypnosis.
    Yet he is staunchly defended by the MSM, receives accolades from a vast and robust constituency of devoted supporters, including the Oslo bunch, and is crowned by a nimbus of invincibility.
    Prime Minister Harper, on the other hand, finds himself constantly struggling to maintain a minority government, faces the prospect of no-confidence motions against his administration and ad hoc coalitions of the disgruntled, and is regarded by the teeming number of leftist nannies in this country as “scary” and of nurturing a “secret agenda” — an agenda, be it said, which is transparently conservative and responsible. If there is a scary and secret agenda to be feared, it is not here.” (More)

    “David Solway is a Canadian poet and essayist. He is the author of The Big Lie: On Terror, Antisemitism, and Identity, and is currently working on a sequel, Living in the Valley of Shmoon. His new book on Jewish and Israeli themes, Hear, O Israel!, has just been released by Mantua Books.”

    “Taking On the ‘Democrat-Media Complex’
    Wall Street Journal ^ | 16 Oct 09 | James Taranto
    The conservative Internet entrepreneur on bringing down Acorn, Hollywood liberals, and embarrassing the mainstream media.
    Dressing up as a pimp and prostitute in order to seek Acorn’s help in starting a child sex-slavery ring wasn’t Andrew Breitbart’s idea. But without the Internet entrepreneur’s flair for publicity, the hidden-camera sting might not have produced such impressive results. Within days of his publishing the video exposé, government agencies were cutting ties with the left-wing advocacy and community-organizing group, Congress was voting to end its federal funding, and news organizations were rushing to catch up with a sensational story they had initially resisted or ignored.
    James O’Keefe, the 25-year-old aspiring filmmaker who played the pimp in the Acorn meetings, came to Mr. Breitbart in early August with his videos. They showed Mr. O’Keefe and his putative partner in crime, 20-year-old Hannah Giles, asking Acorn counselors for advice on how to evade the authorities while setting up a business offering the sexual services of underage girls smuggled into the U.S. from El Salvador. It was a shocking and outlandish tale, but employees in at least five Acorn offices fell for it and offered to help.
    “I had a 20-year-old and a 25-year-old and my integrity on the line if we were going to launch this,” Mr. Breitbart says. “It was so obvious that the mainstream media, given this information, would not cover it and would, in effect, attempt to cover it up.” So he devised an intricate strategy of rolling out the videos one at a time, anticipating Acorn’s defenses and rebutting each in turn with the next video.
    The first, recorded at Acorn’s Baltimore office, appeared Sept. 10 on Fox News Channel and on Mr. Breitbart’s new Web site, BigGovernment.com,” (More)

    SDA deleted this information twice. Must be the INFOWARS reference. Competition is competition after all.
