Reign of Error; Kochs, et al, planning assault on Ed.
Patrick Walsh has a report up on Reign of Error, by Diane Ravitch.
Oh, and have you heard? It’s open season on teachers. The climate that No Child Left a Mind and Race to the Bottom have created—to punish students for not being perfect students and their teachers, who are under tremendous pressures to not have any stupid kids (said facetiously)–has now come to fruition. I’m sure Bill Gates, Eli Broad, Michelle Rhee, et al, are laughing themselves silly.
Jan Ressenger put up a link to this report from the Guardian on just how far the Kochs and their comrades are willing to go….not only to destroy public education, but continue attacks on working folks and unions…
SPN’s president, Tracie Sharp, told the Guardian that “as a pro-freedom network of thinktanks, we focus on issues like workplace freedom, education reform, and individual choice in healthcare: backbone issues of a free people and a free society.”
~~~~~~~
I wonder if she could get the word “free” in there any more…was she wrapped in a flag, too?? Because that would *definitely* mean that this program was patriotic and would strengthen democracy…
...by destroying it…
“it’s for your own good” has to be the biggest lie ever told!
Side note~ someone in the comments section linked to the Yes Men video. Enjoy. (Be sure to click on Part 2–with Surviva-balls. Hilarious.)
Someone also kindly posted a link to a list of Kraft foods. Again…where are the antitrust laws? Why is one food manufacturer able to control so much of the market share? Not that junk food, which is the majority of crap that Kraft makes, is something healthy..what if folks were able to afford healthy made-from-scratch food…? We could do some serious damage to Kraft’s bottom line if we refused to buy their junk food and bought only fresh….and we’d be healthier, too.
Center for Media and Democracy has the scoop on SPN. (As a side note~ I haven’t been getting regular emails of the CMD for a few months now–it’s been spotty at best…interesting. I’ll have to make a note to keep checking their website for updates.)
True to nature, they hide their lobbying disguised to avoid paying taxes. Good Grief, these people know how to play the game of getting someone else to pay while they reap the benefits.
The mention of the Goldwater Institute raises huge red flags–Hillary Clinton was a Goldwater Girl. An excellent blog here on her history…er, her trying to re-write her history…and Bill’s.
The Clintons LOVE poor black people on welfare
• The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA) that was dreamt up by past Republican administrations, was actually passed by Congress and signed by Clinton. This act was filled with vindictive measures aimed at the poor. Among other things, it set a five-year lifetime limit for cash assistance and gave the states power to adopt stringent restrictions in several other areas. Another key part of the Act, was the imposition for the first time of lifetime limits on welfare. Once a welfare mother uses up this lifetime limit, set at five years by the federal government, she and her children can never again receive federal cash benefits, no matter how desperate their condition and no matter what happens to the overall economy.
Bill Clinton has certainly laid his Mack game down heavy in the black community. Maybe that’s why the African-American community has been so thoroughly duped by lip service, prominent public appearances and appointments, and an office on Harlem’s 125th (although Clinton certainly hasn’t used it much).~~~~~~~~
Ahem. There are white people on food stamps, as well. The Clintons, along with the Kochs, et al, don’t like POOR people. Period.
We can’t talk about Bill Clinton’s love for his “black race” without mentioning Rwanda. You remember what happened in Rwanda? If you don’t, then I suggest you rent the movie “Hotel Rwanda” and be prepared to be thoroughly disgusted. Bill Clinton not only refused to intervene to save over one million people from being hacked to death, but he even declined to convene his Cabinet to discuss the crisis.
~~~~~~~~~
I highly recommend Hotel Rwanda. Just don’t watch it and Schindler’s List on the same weekend. I actually had to call my son after watching them both one weekend….I needed to talk to a sane human being…
And let’s not forget this piece on the secretive group Hillary Clinton belongs to. As I’ve said on many occasions…it never ceases to amaze me how people who call themselves Christian act nothing like Christ. Who would Jesus bomb, Hillary?
I’ve read this piece before, but this sentence just packed a punch:
It emerged, he [Reverend Don Jones] says, as a third way, a reaction against both separatist fundamentalism and the New Deal’s labor-based liberalism.
~~~~~~~~
…a reaction against….the New Deal’s labor-based liberalism. In other words: unions….working folks….public education…social security…medicaid…..livable wages…(and the environment, too, but that would come later).
…and if you listen carefully to conservative media, you’ll hear subtle and outwardly snide attacks on Roosevelt’s New Deal. Get it, now?
And this:
Niebuhr and Tillich’s combination of aggressiveness in foreign affairs and limited domestic ambition naturally led Clinton toward the gop. She was a Goldwater Girl who, under the tutelage of her high school history teacher Paul Carlson (whom Jones describes as “to the right of the John Birchers”), attended biweekly anticommunist meetings and later served as president of Wellesley’s Young Republicans chapter.
~~~~~~
…she attended biweekly anticommunist meetings. Wellesley…if the movie “Mona Lisa Smile” is any indication, is a conservative’s utopia…so Young Republicans chapter there? Pretty hard to swallow that this was a fluke -a flash in the pan….especially when one turns a critical eye to Hillary’s record. I mean, if they call themselves Democrats, but act as Republicans…
“Mind conservative but a heart liberal” tells me that she is like so many guys who say they’re “socially liberal, but fiscally conservative”. What this means is: I’m selfish and self-absorbed. And I don’t follow my heart. I let my purse strings do the thinking for me. In other words, I choose money over God. (Jesus said that we could only serve one Master–money or God. Not both.)
Okay, there is more to write, but I’m really tired from the day and need to call it quits.
Documentary on Chem trails
Well, this is the most documented film on chemtrails that I’ve seen to date. Lots of stuff to digest…if the nausea from sick feeling doesn’t get you first…
It’s the first segment of seven, so you’ll have to click on the rest at the site. I recommend clicking on the youtube link to upload the others, as it seems there is a problem with the sound.
In video #3– the woman senator brings up the skyrocketing numbers of Alzheimers and the link to aluminum. She mentioned the theory that people who drank a lot of soda pop from aluminum cans became ill with alzheimer’s. She said her father had alzheimers and never drank soda pop. My Mom didn’t either. It was always a gripe of mine that my father was adamant against junk food and he never allowed pop in the house when we were growing up (but now I am thankful for his wisdom).
AND–this is a big AND–pop didn’t come in aluminum cans until later–it was manufactured with glass bottles in the 70s and I think early 80s. If this theory is the case, then why are the pop manufacturers still allowed to use aluminum cans?? If it were true, why wouldn’t aluminum cans be banned? For that matter, why is plastic still allowed to be used by food manufacturers when it is known that plastics disrupt the endocrine system and cause cancer?
You know, as I am listening to her talk, with the accumulation of aluminum in the brain cells over time, it pops into my head that it was the early 90s that Hughes Aircraft got the patent for spraying…it was about ten years ago–1993–when my Mom started to exhibit some symptoms of Alzheimers. Like mercury, lead, and other heavy metals, it takes time for it to accumulate to a point that the person can no longer function. It’s a gradual process of disabling someone….and animals, too. The deer with neurological diseases popped into my head as I wrote that.
Given that gluten intolerance causes gut inflammation (leaky gut), that allows heavy metal poisoning….and deer love corn, which is GMO…well, it begs the question of whether the deer are suffering from gut inflammation….that nobody is testing for, naturally. I did a quick search for animals and gut inflammation, and could find nothing. I don’t know why this wouldn’t be an issue to explore–any animal with corn or soy as a primary diet food should be watched carefully–but we can’t have that–might dip into Monsanto’s profit margin to label their frankenfood as harmful to physical and neurological health.
Gut inflammation and heavy metal poisoning pretty much go hand in hand. You’re likely to find one with the other.
The video mentions the spraying causing cancer—it is a known fact that mercury causes cancer.
One of the symptoms associated with aluminum toxicity is anemia. I mentioned in my recent post that I was pale the morning after the skies being sprayed with 26+ chemtrails. I was as white as a sheet. I also had the swollen face with pain in my sinuses– a known reaction to aluminum (and mercury), too. I was jogging the morning of, so I was taking in more air than normal. This scares me with all the implications of it. Farmers and anyone who works outside should be alarmed, as well….because the continued exposure will slowly build up.
I’m not sure of the accusations lobbed–there is a lot of money involved in spraying–that much is certain. And it’s hard not to think about the money trail–who stands to benefit from this? Who has the resources to pull this off? Who doesn’t give a rip about the health effects nor have any qualms about killing people? And if this is a harmless technology, then why deny it is happening?
This is hard to talk about. It’s disturbing to say the least. But I’ve seen changes in my health because of the spraying, and because I’m already suffering from mercury poisoning, I’m especially vulnerable to toxins from any source. I have noticed in FW that there were sooo many people on oxygen, with difficulty breathing. Most of them were only ten years older than me. You just didn’t see so much illness as you see today. I mean, it’s rare that a week goes by that I don’t hear about a young person getting cancer. Young kids are getting heart attacks, for crying out loud. You NEVER heard of that unless someone was very ill–it wasn’t a shock because they were in ill health. Now they’re dropping dead playing sports.
Something is terribly, terribly wrong.

Anti-fracking activists struck by vehicle
(I really wanted to take some time off, but there is just too much stuff going on…)
Natives protesting fracking on their land have been run over. I’m unclear about the first paragraph and whether the persons were run over by SWN vehicles. In the posted tweets, note the upside down Canadian flag (on the mylar balloon)–I have to wonder if that were purposeful, as they have flown the U.S. flag upside down as a signal of distress. And support is growing around the world, with Ireland expressing their solidarity with the Elsipogtog. Bless the Irish 🙂
In this link, the journalists have rallied around Miles Howe, the journalist arrested three times so far:
The Canadian Association of Journalists issued a press release Monday calling on “the RCMP to either lay charges or stop harassing a journalist working in New Brunswick arrested for the third time on Nov. 28,” referring to Media Co-op’s Miles Howe.
“RCMP behaviour suggests they are unfamiliar with the charter rights of a free press and the allowances those rights permit journalists while covering controversial and volatile situations,” CAJ president Hugo Rodrigues said.

Haiti in turmoil…still…
Haitians are protesting...but you wouldn’t know that listening to the nightly nooz…which has a morbid fixation on Obamacare and Obama’s popularity…because, you know, that is waaay more important than what is going on around the world, such as the First Nations protests or Haitian protests…or pretty much any protests around the world.
…and in my own backyard…Enbridge
I found this piece on the deceptive PR by Enbridge. Sadly, the article doesn’t go far enough and mention the pipeline coming through northern Indiana….just a stone’s throw away from Lake Michigan.
Three years? Three freaking years to clean up an oil spill? This alone should be reason enough not to trust Enbridge. They don’t have the first clue on how to clean up after their many messes. And they really don’t care….it costs money to clean up and they really don’t care about the environment, much to their protestations.
“We clearly can not accomplish all of that in the remaining weeks of 2013,” says Jason Manshum, an Enbridge spokesman. He blames the company’s difficulty in getting a local permit for a dredge pad near the Morrow Lake delta. The company wanted to dump sludge from the river on the pad site. People and businesses near the site fought against it.
~~~~~~~~~
I don’t blame the folks fighting against having the sludge placed nearby. See…Enbridge doesn’t have a plan in place for what to do when a leak happens. I say dump the sludge on the properties of the Enbridge execs and let them deal with it. I have a feeling that if this was the law, Enbridge and all the other energy companies would suddenly change their myopic views.
Last night, the Kalamazoo Board of Commissioners agreed to let Enbridge use part of a county park as part of the company’s plan to dredge a section of the river near Morrow Lake.

Yeah…let’s contaminate a park…./snark
Note in the comments that pipelines are not subject to aggressive inspections or inspectors….
Speaking of the Native Tribes
Continuing coverage of the Mi’kmaq protests in Canada~
The injunction is explained:
The above journalist was arrested.
His arrest, for the third time (he was not charged in either of the two previous arrests) is unacceptable and it appears to be the state’s preferred strategy for stopping him from getting the word out about protests in Elsipogtog.
~~~~~~~~
I think this is as clear a case as any for harassment. Howe was not charged in the previous two arrests…so they’re going for a third…?
Here’s the video of his arrest. Note the officer taking a video of the person who is taking the video of the officers arresting Howe. Three officers for an unarmed person who is not resisting arrest? Really?
The update below the video link states Howe has been released and is in good spirits.
Another article on more arrests. What I don’t understand is that they had left the protest…and then they were arrested.
A note up for a rally tomorrow.
Suzuki showing support for First Nations
David Suzuki is supporting the Elsipogtog protests. Thank you, David!
Meanwhile, the trucks arrive in convoy. Another pic here.
Harper spies on the peaceful group. Note that their own intelligence says they do not see them as a violent threat….yet, they show up in riot gear and tear gas the peaceful protestors. I’m glad to read that they are also protesting Enbridge, which is in my own backyard. “We want to keep the people and environment safe…” bwahaha, that’s rich. If you really cared about the environment, you wouldn’t be building a pipeline to begin with.
(DN also covered this happening in the U.S. towards nonprofit groups that big business perceives as threats. Big Brother has arrived.)
Lastly, this pic of a smiling female Warrior.

The War against Teachers
Reclaim Reform has this somber post up on the worldwide attack on the teachers, the teacher’s unions, and free speech, as well. The last video (world wide) really got to me–treating these folks like animals! Take note that World Bank demanded the austerity measures….
The Good Enough Student
Assailed Teacher has a great blog up on a student “Tammy” who does okay in school….but is struggling to pass a global test. She must pass this one test in order to graduate. Again, the “good enough” mothers analogy of Phyllis Chesler passed into my head…and I thought that “Tammy” is a “good enough” student. Not perfect, but okay. What really bothers me about all of this is that they are labeling kids as stupid who are quite all right. They’re fine. They understand concepts appropriate for their ages. And yet, they are being put in categories that are not a true definition of their abilities.
Also, beneath this piece is an “interview” with Arne Duncan that’s pretty funny. Too bad that it gets a little too close to the truth.
