  1. From “The BBC’s hidden ‘warmest’ agenda is rapidly unravelling“, in the Telegraph:
    “Last week, even Richard Black, another BBC proselytiser for man-made warming, was gloomily having to reveal the conclusion of a new IPCC report: that, over the next few decades, ‘climate change signals are expected to be relatively small compared to natural climate variability’. In plain English, that means the great scare story is over.”

  2. Excerpts from Sultan Knish’s “Protest as Identity”:
    “At Zuccotti Park, the professional activist, working for unions and community groups, encountered the professional protester, who goes to a bewildering mix of rallies to spew his hate at his favorite targets, and together they ran into the lost boys and girls who confused anti-capitalism with utopia, and they all met the homeless and the huckster– the men and women living in actual poverty on the edge of their shining societies out of view of their parents’ mansions. If that encounter taught them nothing else, it may have taught them that the left’s romance with poverty is a foolish thing. Poverty doesn’t mean seventy thousand dollars in student debt and a job at Starbucks. It means looking at a trash can and wondering if there’s something good to eat inside. It means being cold and hungry, and it also often means being greedy and manipulative…”
    Later,
    “The Occupiers don’t know how lucky they are, because despite all their degrees they have forgotten how revolutions, real revolutions, end. They end when the people holding up the ridiculous signs, the petty criminals and the mentally unstable, whom no one took seriously, become the secret police for one of those charming outsiders who wandered in and now owns the place. The fellow with the dark eyes who excels at taking control of meetings and driving out people who don’t agree with him. Who despite his poor literacy speaks so magnetically that it seems impossible to believe that’s he’s a lunatic who dreams nightly or killing everyone who ever offended him.”
    The whole thing here.

  7. Copenhagen has a beautiful train station with a number shops in the center of the open area where the orchestra played. There is very little room to park a car anywhere near, but there are hundreds, maybe a few thousand bicycles in a bicycle parking lot adjacent to the building and a great pizza shop in the Hotel Astoria just down the street.

    “The euro zone’s debt crisis struck again at the heart of Europe on Monday despite a clear-cut election victory in Spain for conservatives committed to tougher austerity.
    Spain’s Socialists became the fifth government in the 17-nation single currency area to be toppled by the debt crisis this year. Portugal, Ireland, Italy and Greece went before.”

  23. Well bryanr,according to ctv’s Jackie Mil-whatever..the ctv twitter feed is sooooo favorable toward the occupiers! She read out 3 tweets,all slanted in favor of the loons! Yeah,fair and balanced! Following Mayor Ford’s presser,Jackie also brought up the ‘hope there won’t be violence,as we have already seen a level of violence!’ HUH??BTW,Stephen LeDrew on cp24 few min.ago clearly stated(to the horror of co-host) that the unions ARE paying lawyers to represent the losers,CUPE in particular.They have also ‘donated’ lots of food,money etc to the cause.He specifically highlighted that Sid Ryan is a huge backer.As a dues-paying CUPE Manitoba member,I am really pi**ed by this.That is the LAST place I want my dues going.

    Good to know we can count people like “Rose Olfert, an economist with the Johnson-Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy at the University of Saskatchewan” to decide where we should live and how much of the “government’s money” should be wasted on basic services for its citizens.

    There is widespread international debate on the extent to which China’s naval expansions pose a threat to U.S. dominance of the world’s oceans. George Friedman and author and foreign affairs expert Robert Kaplan agree on China’s ambition, but have very different views on its geopolitical impact.

    Exclusive: CIA Spies Caught, Fear Execution in Middle East
    In a significant failure for the United States in the Mideast, more than a dozen spies working for the CIA in Iran and Lebanon have been caught and the U.S. government fears they will be or have been executed, according to four current and former U.S. officials with connections to the intelligence community.
    The spies were paid informants recruited by the CIA for two distinct espionage rings targeting Iran and the Beirut-based Hezbollah organization, considered by the U.S. to be a terror group backed by Iran.
    “Espionage is a risky business,” a U.S. official briefed on the developments told ABC News, confirming the loss of the unspecified number of spies over the last six months.
    …
    more fun and games:
    At about the same time that Hezbollah was identifying the CIA network in Lebanon, Iranian intelligence agents discovered a secret internet communication method used by CIA-paid assets in Iran.
    The CIA has yet to determine precisely how many of its assets were compromised in Iran, but the number could be in the dozens, according to one current and one former U.S. intelligence official.
    The exposure of the two spy networks was first announced in widely ignored televised statements by Iranian and Hezbollah leaders. U.S. officials tell ABC News that much of what was broadcast was, in fact, true.
    Hezbollah’s leader, Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah, announced in June of this year that two high-ranking members of Hezbollah had been exposed as CIA spies, leading U.S. officials to conclude that the entire network inside Hezbollah had been compromised.
    In Iran, intelligence minister Heidar Moslehi announced in May that more than 30 U.S. and Israeli spies had been discovered and an Iranian television program, which acts as a front for Iran’s government, showed images of internet sites used by the U.S. for secret communication with the spies.
    U.S. officials said the Iranian television program showed pictures of people who were not U.S. assets, but the program’s video of the websites used by the CIA was accurate.
    Some former U.S. intelligence officials say the developments are the result of a lack of professionalism in the U.S. intelligence community.

  28. Kate: At 2:15 today two USAF jets went north at one hell of a speed over S.E. Sask? Something going on? I’m to stupid to look it up.

  29. Here’s another fun video. Even leaving aside the execrable content, note that Mika Brzwhere?rethev?w?ls on MSNBC demonstrates that she is not only a talentless, whiny, stone-faced, average-at-best-IQ, looks-10-years-older-than-her-age-far-left nepot shill, which we already knew of course, but also that she quite literally does not know what the word “literally” means. Twice, in under three minutes.
    Yes, I’m having a bad day, and Meeka, she vill suffer.

    The Law of Gravity & Hubris brings down Mao’s Tower of Babel.
    Awkwald, Mao Stlong says. Liberal leader Rae, Mao’s nephew, repeats: Awkwald.
    “the October 10 accident at the Gansu Province plant that killed five people – including three local government officials and two Sinovel workers”
    “… the arm of the 1,000-ton crane built by Zoomlion Heavy Industries snapped and fell onto the entourage, which had gathered to watch the assembling of the tower with its 5-megawatt turbine and blades 100 meters in diameter.”

    “Boom, then Blowdown for Wind Energy’s Sinovel”
    “Explosive growth marked the start-up years before mishaps and market conditions took a toll on China’s wind power giant”
    “A looming turbine tower half as high as Beijing’s tallest skyscraper cast a long shadow over the Sinovel Wind manufacturing plant and a group of local government leaders recently before something went terribly wrong.”
    “Some say the October 10 accident at the Gansu Province plant that killed five people – including three local government officials and two Sinovel workers – was inevitable for a company that’s been growing too fast for its own good.
    Officials say the arm of the 1,000-ton crane built by Zoomlion Heavy Industries snapped and fell onto the entourage, which had gathered to watch the assembling of the tower with its 5-megawatt turbine and blades 100 meters in diameter.
    The dead included Yu Yongding, management committee director for the Jiuquan Industrial Park where the plant is located. Also killed were Yu’s his wife, who worked as a city government official, and a Yu subordinate.
    The cause of the accident has yet to be determined, and Sinovel Vice President Tao Gang told reporters that it’s unclear whether the crane’s mechanics or an operator played a role. In his opinion, the crane apparently lost its balance while hoisting the turbine onto the tower.
    Tao added that the event had marked the company’s first attempt to assemble a 5-megawatt turbine on land. The specially built crane was new as well.
    The accident struck a fresh blow at Sinovel’s image nine months after three workers were electrocuted in Zhangjiakou, Hebei Province, while trying to debug a faulty wind turbine.
    A wind energy industry expert said the latest accident was an embarrassing snafu for the company, which apparently failed to take the necessary precautions for such a major project with high-level guests.”

    “Sinovel’s development pace scared off some customers. A power company in Ontario, Canada, for example, decided it would be foolhardy to buy Sinovel’s 3-megawatt units with unproven technology, since in the long run the turbines could require a lot of costly maintenance.
    “We didn’t dare buy” the 3-megawatt units, said a source close to the Canadian company. “They were too new.”

    “This Christmas, Coke will change 94 million of its iconic red cans to white to raise awareness about the fate of the polar bear. The company will also donate up to $3 million to WWF over the next five years.”

  40. @ wallyj
    Polar bears are warm and fuzzy.Every kid dreams of owning one. 3 million to WWF is cheap advertising and will endear coke to every granola crunching, foam at the mouth, coke swilling tree hugger. Pepsi already has the young, hip , sexy as hell crowd in their camp so coke is trying for the OWS/suzuki/save the planet bunch. Chump change for them.
