This one has clearly fallen by the wayside.
Government surveillance is a big deal, and I think it's a good day to review it...
This article by Antony Loewenstein appeared in July at theGuardian.com:
"'At least 80% of fibre-optic cables globally go via the US', Binney said. 'This is no accident and allows the US to view all communication coming in. At least 80% of all audio calls, not just metadata, are recorded and stored in the US. The NSA lies about what it stores.'
The NSA will soon be able to collect 966 exabytes a year, the total of internet traffic annually. Former Google head Eric Schmidt once argued that the entire amount of knowledge from the beginning of humankind until 2003 amount to only five exabytes.
Binney, who featured in a 2012 short film by Oscar-nominated US film-maker Laura Poitras, described a future where surveillance is ubiquitous and government intrusion unlimited."

"This" coming from the "most transparent" administration ever.

"This" coming from the "most transparent" administration ever.
Even if legally correct, this is purposefully deceptive in an abundance of ways...
At DailyCaller.com, Michael Bastasch reports on the event; but, finding out ALL of the details might be difficult at best:
"While Americans are focused on what delicious foods they’re going to eat for Thanksgiving, the White House is focused on releasing its massive regulatory agenda– marking the fifth time the Obama administration has released its regulatory road map on the eve of a major holiday.
The federal Unified Agenda is the Obama administration’s regulatory road map, and it lays out thousands of regulations being finalized in the coming months. Under President Barack Obama, there has been a tradition of releasing the agenda late on Friday– and right before a major holiday."

"Jonathan Gruber warned of Obamacare premium spike as president promised savings"
Kelly Riddell wrote about this one at WashingtonTimes.com:
"While President Obama campaigned on a promise that his universal health care plan would lower premiums, his controversial adviser and plan architect was privately warning the state of Wisconsin that Obamacare was poised to massively increase insurance costs for average residents, internal documents show."
"Collapsing America"
Strong words from Klaus Rohrich in the Canada Free Press:
"Collapsing America appears to have been the plan of this president all along. Recent news of US Immigration Courts remanding the cases of most of the youngsters that entered America through the southern border, has increased the Courts’ caseloads by tens of thousand of cases and will cost taxpayers billions of dollars, as none of the waifs have or can afford their own lawyers.
All of the worst predictions made about this administration are beginning to come true, including a nuclear Iran, an Islamic Caliphate, a reincarnation of the Soviet Union and a permanent underclass of poverty stricken Americans. Remarkable as it seems, impeachment has been permanently taken off the table because of race.
That’s analogous to having a family member that sexually abuses your children and you don’t want to press charges because he’s family. Don’t say you weren’t warned."

Space and Science Research Corporation Press Release
The Space and Science Research Corporation has posted four statements. Here's the first, and wait until you see number three:
"The Space and Science Research Corporation (SSRC) announces today an important set of climate change predictions dealing with the coming cold climate epoch that will dominate global temperatures for the next thirty years.
According to analysis of the most reliable solar activity trends and climate models based on the Relational Cycle Theory (RC Theory), the SSRC concludes the following:
1. The Earth is about to begin a steep drop in global temperatures off its present global temperature plateau. This plateau has been caused by the absence of growth in global temperatures for 18 years, the start of global cooling in the atmosphere and the oceans, and the end of a short period of moderate solar heating from an unusually active secondary peak in solar cycle #24."
"Another GM Recall Bombshell Raises More Questions"
The payment shouldn't be outrageous, but certainly cover any loss...
Mark Modica recently reported on General Motors actions on the National Legal and Policy Center website:
"The evidence continues to mount that General Motors has been less than transparent, if not outright culpable, regarding its ignition switch recall fiasco. As the death toll mounts (from the original 13 casualties reported by GM to the just revised 32 deaths) for victims involved in crashes of GM vehicles with defective ignition switches, new evidence has emerged that GM actually ordered replacement parts for the defective switches a full two months before they even reported a problem."

"Free ‘Obama Phones’ A Little Too Easy To Get"
Isn't America great?! [-sarcasm intended-]...
In Los Angeles, CBSlocal's David Goldstein looked into this story:
"Officially, you need proof of government assistance or low income in order to qualify for the program. But our undercover producer hit the streets telling people she didn’t have anything — no Medi-Cal or EBT card — and found plenty of salespeople, many of whom work on commission, willing to offer advice on how to bend the rules."
"Norway Says Enough, Deports Record Numbers of Immigrants to Reduce Crime"
So, Norway now "gets it"...
This is from a recent post by Enza Ferreri on her blog:
"Among the tougher measures implemented was that deported foreign criminals who return to Norway now face 2 years’ jail, a 10-fold increase in the penalty from 35 days, a measure that had the unanimous support from all parties.
But the most important policy introduced has been the vast increase in number of deportations.
In 2013, a record number of 5,198 foreign citizens were expelled from the country, an increase of 31% from 2012, when 3,958 people were deported."

"No, Reagan Did Not Offer An Amnesty By Lawless Executive Order"
Once again, we find most of the American media coming up short...
At theFederalist.com, Gabriel Malor has the story AND the facts:
"Democrats across print, web, and cable media have been repeating the claim that Obama is doing nothing more than what Presidents Reagan and Bush 41 did first. They point to executive actions taken in 1987 and 1989 that deferred the removal of certain aliens. But, as usual for Progressive commentators, they elide the crucial facts that distinguish those actions from Obama’s. The sign that you’re being swindled isn’t so much what the con artist tells you, but what he does not tell you. What the Progressive commentariat is not telling you is that the Reagan and Bush immigration orders looked nothing like Obama’s creation of a new, open-ended form of immigration relief."

"Worse still, though, are reporters' amateurish attempts to explain the story away, or defend themselves against charges of glaring liberal favoritism.

Then there's 'Meet the Press' Chuck Todd, who actually claimed that the reason the networks aren't covering Gruber is ... well, you have to read it to believe it:"
"Thanks to Jonathan Gruber for revealing Obamacare deception"
In a recent Washington Post article Marc A. Thiessen writes about Mr. Gruber and the Democrats deceptions. It's not pretty:
"It’s one thing for Americans to suspect that their president lies to them. It’s quite another to hear a key Obama adviser boast of it.
So thank you, Jonathan Gruber. We now know how the Obama left sees the American people. We are like children who don’t understand what is best for us. We need experts such as Jonathan Gruber to make decisions for us. If we are too 'stupid' to agree with them, they can use our ignorance to deceive us and enact policies we would never otherwise support."

"Sharyl Attkisson Joins KMOX’s Mark Reardon To Discuss Controversial New Book"
On CBSlocal St. Louis, Mark Reardon posted a recent exchange he had with Sharyl Attkisson, including this and more:
"SA: I don’t know. Hacking is a word that of implies to me sort of a single event — an in, an out. The forensics exams, three separate ones, have shown a long term monitoring and surveillance that went on both in my CBS laptop computer as well as on my home Apple computer. It’s pretty chilling when you consider the extent of the abilities they had, according to the forensics reports, to monitor my every keystroke, to activate Skype by getting the password to my account, and listen through Skype on to audio if I was talking in the room or talking on the phone. Being able to exfiltrate files using Skype, downloading and refreshing these surveillance methods periodically using something called a BGAN satellite terminal, using WiFi when I was at a Ritz Carlton at one point. I mean they left some very distinct trails because I don’t think they ever thought I would have the ability to have highly-skilled specialized forensics people be able to find what was in there. Ordinary computer analysts may be very good, but unless they know exactly where to look and they’re familiar with some of the proprietary government practices, I’m told, they will never be able to find the things that were found in my computer. But I was able to go to some very good sources."

Meet the Mild-Mannered Investment Adviser Who's Humiliating the Administration Over Obamacare - Bloomberg Politics
This is from David Weigel posting on Bloomberg.com's Citizen Journalist blog. He begins:
"Rich Weinstein is not a reporter. He does not have a blog. Until this week, the fortysomething's five-year old Twitter account had a follower count in the low double digits. 'I’m an investment adviser,' Weinstein tells me from his home near Philadelphia. 'I’m a nobody. I’m the guy who lives in his mom’s basement wearing a tinfoil hat.'

In doing so, the blue-eyed, blonde 2009 Daffodil Queen became the youngest woman elected to the Washington State Legislature since November 3, 1936, when Margaret Coughlin, a Seattle Democrat, captured a House seat two days after her 24th birthday."

"Earth imaging start-up lost 26 satellites in Antares explosion"
On the PCWorld website, Martyn Williams reported this:
"The Antares rocket burst into flames seconds after rising into the sky from NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia, falling back to the launch pad and then spectacularly exploding in a huge fireball.
The rocket was carrying a Cygnus spacecraft to the International Space Station. Among the Cygnus cargo were 26 satellites, the fourth group of satellites to be launched by the company. They would have worked in unison with the three sets of satellites launched previously, to provide more regularly updated photographs of the planet."
The Lies Phony Climate Experts Tell
Politicians and special interests must be making a lot of money from this issue. If that's not true, then willful blindless must be the case...
In the Canada Free Press, Alan Caruba wants us to know:
"The fundamental lie is that humans, through their use of fossil fuels, coal, oil and natural gas, are creating huge amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) which in turn is warming the Earth. You will hear the lies again when the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change releases its latest report.
'The report should galvanize the world to take urgent and collective action to curb climate change,' says Frances Beinecke, president of the Natural Resources Defense Council. 'We’re almost out of time to avoid the worst…'
We have been told this since the 1980s. It is pure fear mongering.
The problem for the phony 'climate experts' is that the Earth has not warmed in the last 19 years and CO2 plays a minimal role in the alleged warming. What you never hear the 'climate experts' tell you is that CO2 is vital to all life on Earth because it is the 'food' that all vegetation depends upon for growth. More CO2 is a very good thing and, in the past, its levels in the atmosphere have been much higher."

"Where is America's Sense of Self-Preservation?"
We could certainly learn from other countries who took action after anticipating or experiencing the problems of illegal entries into their countries...
Back in June, John Bennett wrote a thorough article about border security on the American Thinker website. Israel is only one of his examples. Wait to you see the chart:
"Israel’s immigration and border protection policy is not simply based in security concerns. Issues of crime and cultural cohesion also play a large role in shaping Israel’s approach to immigration.
That approach has included the construction of a sophisticated barrier fence, aggressive deportation, and the use of the military to protect the border.
The Israeli military has, over the last several years, turned away huge numbers of African asylum seekers, mostly from Eritrea and Sudan, at the border. The Israeli army position is that it will act to “prevent illegal infiltration” as per “directives from the political echelon.”
Also, the Israeli cabinet devotes resources to enforce the law against illegal aliens and their employers."
"The Cramdown Artists"
This is the beginning of Bill Murchison's recent Townhall.com article:
"What this country almost certainly doesn't need right now is more laws and regulations; but it doesn't necessarily need fewer laws and regulations, either. What we appear to need above all else is a deeper -- and that's not saying much -- understanding of the purposes for which a civilized society passes laws and enacts regulations. We need, in essence, moral instruction."

'Where the Boys Are' Disproves Rising Seas Scare
At NewsBusters.org, P.J. Gladnick picked up on this gem:
"'Where the Boys Are' is both an entertaining 1960 movie as well as a catchy Connie Francis song which was the theme tune of the film. However, it now appears that 'Where the Boys Are' is performing a great unintended public service. The opening credits of the movie has preserved for us an aerial view just where the ocean of 1960 was in relation to the sand and State Road A1A in Fort Lauderdale. Guess what? The beach is exactly as wide now as it was in 1960."
"Study: Wind Turbines are 'Expensive, Unreliable and Inefficient'"
Wind power does NOT even come close to providing value for our dollars!...
At Breitbart.com, Donna Rachel Edmunds recently posted about it:
"Most significantly, it found that the system would be only running at 90 percent of capacity or higher for 17 hours a year, and at 80 percent or higher for less than one week a year; conversely, total output was at less than 20 percent of capacity for 20 weeks of the year, and below 10 percent during nine weeks a year. 'The most common power output of this 10GW model wind fleet is approximately 800MW. The probability that the wind fleet will produce full output is vanishingly small,' the authors note. The consequence is that many more wind turbines will have to be built than is often assumed, as the capacity of the fleet can’t be assumed to be synonymous with actual output.
The findings will deliver a body blow to governmental claims that their current target of generating 27 percent of energy from renewable sources – mostly wind and solar – by 2030 is credible."

Newer New Math | RealClearPolitics
Here's what parents are up against...
At RealClearPolitics.com, Erick Erickson provides this in an article I think you should read:
"Her assignment involved one of several methods of subtraction she must learn. The way most people learn to subtract -- carrying numbers and borrowing -- is derisively called the 'Granny Method' and is discouraged. The task at hand the other night involved subtracting using the 'Counting-Up Subtraction Method.'
This method of subtracting actually uses addition. For example, like the example given in the book, subtracting 38 from 325 can be derived by counting up. Raise 38 to 40, by going up 2. Raise 40 to 100 by going up 60. Raise 100 to 300 by going up 200. Raise 300 to 325 by going up 25. Then add the jumps together so that 2 + 60 + 200 + 25 = 287. That would be the answer.
There is only one page in the textbook that explains the 'Counting-Up Subtraction Method,' and that is the only example given. Again, this is third grade."

Instead, they have acquired the debilitating unwillingness to try a different perspective."

Kyle Olson wrties ab out it at EAGnews.org:
"The school refused to allow the news station to show that day’s lunch servings. They wouldn’t even speak on camera.
Haskell superintendent Sharon Herrington defended the lunches off-camera, saying students are offered five items and they are required to take three. That means the chicken patty, glob of potatoes and milk would qualify as a complete lunch under the federal rules.
Students contend the salad bar offerings are skimpy and not 'fresh.'
The school wouldn’t allow that to be photographed, either."

Instead, they are forced to rely on frantic appeals to young women and racial minorities. It’s not a smart, forward-thinking strategy. It’s not even a case of mistaken priorities and bad choices. It’s a desperate fallback for a party that isn’t able to run on the issues. And the midterms are a warning that it is all falling apart."

2014-11-11 - Veterans Day
The U.S. Dept. of Veterans Affairs begins it's description of Veterans Day with this. It has changed somewhat over the years:
"World War I – known at the time as 'The Great War' - officially ended when the Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919, in the Palace of Versailles outside the town of Versailles, France. However, fighting ceased seven months earlier when an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, between the Allied nations and Germany went into effect on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. For that reason, November 11, 1918, is generally regarded as the end of 'the war to end all wars'.
In November 1919, President Wilson proclaimed November 11 as the first commemoration of Armistice Day with the following words: 'To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations…'
The original concept for the celebration was for a day observed with parades and public meetings and a brief suspension of business beginning at 11:00 a.m."

O Beholden Canada by Steven Malanga, City Journal Autumn 2014
To me, the heart of the problem is elected officials having too much control of other peoples money, using benefits to bargain for votes, and the reality that they won't be around when the SHTF...
This Canadian City-Journal article, by Steven Malanga shows that Canada has pension problems caused by the same factors as other countries:
"At the heart of Canada’s pension woes are some of the same forces that have helped rack up several trillion dollars in state and local pension liabilities in the United States. For years, Canadian governments have provided generous pensions at low costs to employees. Workers could earn full benefits while retiring in their mid-fifties, even as they lived longer. Politicians relied on optimistic assumptions about stock-market returns to justify those benefits. Governments were quick to grant additional benefits to politically powerful employee groups, but they underfunded pensions when budgets got tight.
Now, unsurprisingly, workers are opposed to giving up their lavish benefits."
"BioShield: Obama Diverted Its Funds From Fighting Ebola"
This looks like a typical well-intended government program that suffers because of government bureaucracy, government management, and probably some politics...
At DailySignal.com, Melissa Quinn recently reported this and quite a bit more about "BioShield":
"Seeking a more robust defense in the event of a bioterrorist attack on the United States, the Bush administration created a $6 billion fund to prepare the nation for such threats, including the deadly Ebola virus.
The Obama administration, however, has not used the range of tools and budget provided by the post-9/11 project, focusing instead on only three targets and diverting at least $1 billion to other priorities, a review by The Daily Signal found.
Nearly five years ago, in fact, the administration’s own biodefense science board warned that project funds 'should not be diverted to support other initiatives, regardless of the merit of other purposes.'
Repeated diversions of funds 'raise doubts about the intention of the U.S. government to consistently fund the enterprise,' the science board adds."

Saturday Reading - "The Left and the Distortion of History"
When our young people are denied accurate history, whether good or bad, they are being disadvantaged by our education system...
At AmericanThinker.com, John L. Hancock posted this as part of a long disconcerting article about the title's premise:
"For the 9th century, Alfred was a very enlightened king who was loved by his people and for this reason he is the only king in English history to be bestowed the moniker 'the Great.' Alfred the Great, the father of England and education king.
So why would the history professors be opposed to a memorial to this great proponent of education? The truth is that the opposition to Alfred had more to do with what he symbolizes rather than actual history.
Linda Mitchell, who specializes in Medieval history, was one of the protesting professors. As she explained in a New York Times interview, Alfred 'is not a good logo to promote a modern university because virtually any historical figure who had any social or political influence is undoubtedly going to be a D.W.E.M. -- dead white European male,' she said, 'it would be foolish to choose a symbol so exclusive and effective in emphasizing the straight white male power structure of history.'
For Alfred, being a DWEM (Dead White European Male) means that his great achievements are to be ignored because they do not fit into the ideologically-driven, anti-Western civilization, revisionist history that is currently being taught in schools."

In early 2008, we secretly moved over several nights 140 truckloads carrying 5500 barrels of extremely heavy radioactive material provided to Iraq as part of the French-supplied Osiraq reactor destroyed by Israeli fighter bombers in 1981."

"A record number of rogue Christian pastors are endorsing candidates from the pulpit this election cycle, using Sunday sermons to defiantly flout tax rules.
Their message to the IRS: Sue me.
But the tax agency is doing anything but. Although the IRS was sued itself for not enforcing the law and admitted about 100 churches may be breaking the rules, the pastors and their critics alike say the agency is looking the other way. The agency refuses to say if it is acting.
At the same time, the number of pastors endorsing candidates in what they call Pulpit Freedom Sunday jumped from 33 people in 2008 to more than 1,600 this year, according to organizers, Alliance Defending Freedom. And this year, they’ve stepped up their drive, telling pastors to back candidates any Sunday up until the election, not just one Sunday as in past years."

Officials 'have to do the genetic analysis' to disprove or prove the link, Nora Chapman, an enterovirus scientist at the University of Nebraska, told The Daily Caller.
But there’s already more than enough statistical evidence for American citizens to demand that scientists test the viruses to see if Obama’s progressive border priorities spread the dangerous contagion throughout the country during 2014."

Both examples cited to me by well-placed sources close to the Defense Department offer new evidence of a criticism that has dogged this administration for most of its six and a half years: that Barack Obama’s White House is so insular and tightly controlled it often avoids 'outside' consultation—including with its own cabinet secretaries and agencies."
