It’s Not Safe to Breathe in New York…

by

…or anywhere else, for that matter.

Although the small town I’m in has beautiful blue skies, when chemtrails are sprayed, I can’t go outside for any length of time–as turning pale and getting a swollen face and getting a migraine were the result of jogging outside when chemtrails were heavily sprayed.

Same with Fort Wayne–when I jogged on days of ozone warnings, I thought I could jog early in the morning…nope.  I was wheezing by the time I got back to my apartment.

Nature.org has this up on the costs of pollution to all living things…

Here is a paper on thyroid cancer and nuclear energy…

 

The story behind the story…

by

…of the 15 year old boy stowaway who traveled to Hawaii in the wheel well of a plane.  His story is yet another tragedy in angry divorced fathers who take children away from their mother, who is living in poverty.  He was told his mother was dead–how horribly selfish and psychologically traumatizing to a child.

I hope that Hawaiian authorities will not release the boy to his father, who obviously cares more about revenge than his child’s emotional health.  Rather, it would be refreshing to see someone stand up for the mother, and help her reunite with her child.

 

Creepy Ads and total cluelessness

by

The Dish posted a piece on UNICEF’s creepy ad campaign to persuade people in India to use the loo instead of defecating in the streets (I can’t comment on the video…couldn’t make past the first minute).

Hello? They don’t seem to *get* that they are not doing it from ignorance, but because, like the author says, they are poor–therefore their struggle for each day is to find food, clean water, and not die.  Having a loo in the vicinity is a luxury they cannot afford.

Why didn’t UNICEF use whatever overpaid money they put into this ad campaign and purchase some composting toilets for these folks? Or construct public restrooms near the poor?  Or, better yet, put on an ad campaign for jobs with livable wages so they could take care of themselves??

Bill Gates “explains” Common Core

by

Unbelievable.  Bill Gates–car salesman.  He is so full of it, that I don’t know where to even begin….

He states that these standards will allow children whom have moved to be able to pick up where they left off…again he misses the point that CHILDREN ARE INDIVIDUALS and they will either grasp a subject or not…according to where they are at in their personal development.

Gates also states that Common Core is made towards children’s development level.  Bullshit.  Utter bullshit.  You don’t teach integers, that is part of trigonometry, to grade school students!  You don’t teach the Code of Hammurabi to first graders!

He outright lies about government not dictating these standards.  Race to the Bottom guarantees that they will adopt their policies, or the schools will be denied federal dollars that were paid for by the public.

Mercedes Schneider points out more of the lies in her take on this…note the link to Indiana trying a shell game of getting rid of Common Core…but then adopting standards that are a warmed over version of Common Core.  Very disappointing to see that Glenda Ritz is going along with this charade.

 

 

 

Woman in Saudi Arabia gets 150 lashes for driving

by

I read this yesterday and can’t get it out of my mind.  Nothing is said about the reasons she was driving–was she on her way to a job interview and had no other way to get there? Was she on her way to the doctor or perhaps the hospital?  Was she escaping an abusive husband?  Did she just want to freaking drive?

I can’t imagine being flogged 150 times and what kind of permanent scars that would bring (both emotionally and physically).

In a country that goes through the motions of punishing men who abuse women, I don’t see this as setting a good example of how to treat women (note that the fine does not include flogging for him).  If the state condones violence towards women…why would a man think he did not have the state’s implicit endorsement to do the same?

All she wants are the same rights as men…to drive…to vote…to move about freely without having to have a male companion…why is that such a threat? (Yes, I know that women have been given the right to vote…if they have a male companion who approves….so yeah, not much in the way of progress there.)

 

 

 

Debunking geoengineering/chemtrail apologists

by

Dane Wigington was on a radio show talking about his research on chemtrails.  He actually has facts to back up what he says…unlike the disinformation troll, Craig Berman.

When Wigington questions his “facts” and asks him to back it up, he repeatedly avoids naming any factual data.  The most glaring example of his lack of knowledge of the 1990 Hughes Aircraft patent I blogged about here.

The particles may be seeded by dispersal from seeding aircraft; one exemplary technique may be via the jet fuel as suggested by prior work regarding the metallic particles. Once the tiny particles have been dispersed into the atmosphere, the particles may remain in suspension for up to one year. It is understood that the above-described embodiment is merely illustrative of the possible specific embodiments which may represent principles of the present invention. Other arrangements may readily be devised in accordance with these principles by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention. * * * *

It is utterly ridiculous that the folks sounding the alarm are the “leftists”.  I was laughed off of “leftist” websites for bringing up chemtrails.  Like vaccine injury, “leftists” scoff at geoengineering.  Or if they acknowledge that it is occurring, they have drunk the Gates Koolaid and believe that geoengineering is good for the climate….when by accounts of chemtrails blocking rain and holding heat in– it is doing the exact opposite.  And since when is it ever a good thing to spray heavy metals into the atmosphere?

Finally, knowing what I know about Wall Street bankers betting on folks like myself losing our homes…it would not surprise me at all that they are doing the same thing with the weather.  As the book Den of Thieves illustrated–they are greedy and will lie, cheat, and steal to make even more money.  Anyone who would make money off of taking someone’s home away from them will have no qualms about making people ill, causing drought and wildfires, and causing the destruction of the planet.

 

 

Obama High School and Affirmative Action

by

Fred Klonsky posted his viewpoint on Barack Obama College Preparatory School and Obama’s silence on a Supreme Court decision on Affirmative Action.

President Obama, however much I disagree with his education policies, is entitled to his opinion…whether it be for or against Affirmative Action.  I presume he is for it, but chose not to speak out at this particular decision.  I really don’t recall him speaking out on much regarding Supreme Court decisions— so because he’s black, he should speak out on this particular decision?

Perhaps I’m misinterpreting things…but this piece just struck me wrong.

As a side note~ Cabrini Green?  Really?  That was the housing project that was famously featured when former Chicago Mayor Jane Byrne *cough* moved in….the press was all over it…but what they forgot to tell people was that she wasn’t moving in as in moving all her household…but rather, she kinda sorta stayed there one night a week./snark

Or perhaps it was a few hours in the daytime./snarkier

Or perhaps she just drove past the place…on her way to her real home…./snarkiest

We need jobs, not eggs.  Funny how it’s been thirty years and not much has changed, eh?

Oh, wait…

Rahm builds an elite high school on this historical spot….not only do you not get jobs, but you get thrown out.

 

First Nations people protest Royals

by

In news that you won’t read about in the mainstream media–Warrior Publications has a post up of the indigenous folks protesting the Royals.

…or if you do hear about it, it will be in a negative light….as in they have no right to their land or to protest.
