Monica if you compare and sit together an European, an Asian and an American student attending same grades, you would be appalled by how the education on this country has fallen behind.I watch TED constantly and yes my stepson also has to watch it….;)

My stepson’s mother’s interest is mainly European Royals.She is a high school drop out with no interest in furthering her culture or education.He came to me when he was 14/15 and I never get tired of MAKING him read every piece about the imminent dangerous of climate change.I subscribe to an endless mags on the horrific warming of this planet.We do not have another one.I 100%00 agree with you: education is the key to a better future.Our generation always took civics…Not anymore. They are, as you well put it, completely distracted by the products the major culprits of this process advertises.He is well aware of it but I don’t see himself getting involved more than reading the blogs and articles on this issue.Because I INSIST. Perhaps, let’s hope so, some of this data will rub on himself in the future.There was a very interesting article on Vanity Fair, give or take 4/5 issues ago on how too, these new billionaires building mansions on both east and west coasts are already causing massive erosion on cliffs and how their “castles” are about to totally fall down into the ocean .

MA, I see the lethargy and lack of interest and I am dismayed by it, on this new generation.All they care are their stupid games and/or run to get the newest iPhone6.My stepson also wanted to join the gang.We absolutely said NO.They have no conscience of what this exaggerate consumerism is doing to the planet. Here in FL, I saw only – at the most – 15 teens protesting and demanding for immediate actions on climate change, last Sunday with 350.org.I call them the zombie generation.I was relatively young when Nam happened but my dad got us fired up and we all joined thousands of protesters.This is the generation of “me me me…..They will ultimately pay the hefty price.

Thanks for your kind thoughts, my dear friend.He actually went into a coma on his last 3 days and passed away peacefully. It was a hard blow to a mother, to have to witness her first son – or any – to be buried (actually we all opt for cremation)…Two more years and she also, passed on her sleep, at around 5:30 am.And we had spoke on the phone the night before.I miss both terribly…./My dad died in 1980 – he was a lunatic for speed, as yours truly is, and had a terrible accident with his motorcycle in the Italian Alps.

I have been a member of this org for many years.

Tatiana—This is, quite literally, your last chance to help unlock $1 million of new support for our Center for Science and Democracy. To help defend more scientists from political attacks. To work towards better laws to protect our environment and future. And to help expose corporate corruption of science and the democratic process. The deadline is midnight. We can’t miss this opportunity. Please, pitch in now >>

—Ken
Union of Concerned Scientists

Midnight Deadline

$200,000 goal.
16 hours left to raise it.
$1 million gift unlocked, if we hit that goal.

Please don’t let us miss this opportunity. Be counted with your gift now >>
Donate

Dear Tatiana,

A quick update: we have just hours left to reach our $200,000 goal in order to unlock a $1 million gift to our Center for Science and Democracy.

Tatiana, we can do this. 1,215 people have already pitched in. Now it’s up to you.

Will you make a special gift to help leverage $1 million to defend science—before the clock runs out?

The midterm election is just 35 days away. You’ve probably seen the polls: we could face even more politicians in 2015 who distort or willingly ignore science.

On energy and environmental regulation, food and chemical safety, and so much more—our planet’s future and our families’ health will be on the line.

There couldn’t be a more crucial time to grow our work together. The Center for Science and Democracy leads the nation in bringing to light (and taking to task) the politicians, pundits, and CEOs who conspire against science-based decision-making. And this million-dollar gift would allow us to expand that work significantly. Today, your gift in defense of science will do more than ever before.

$1 million in funding for our Center for Science and Democracy is at stake. Please give now.

When we apply hard science, expert organizing, and a strictly nonpartisan approach to the tough challenges we face, we win.

That’s how we secured groundbreaking whistleblower protections for federal scientists. It’s how we convinced the Centers for Disease Control to acknowledge its bungling of the West Virginia chemical spill.1

And now, over the next few months, it will be the way we ramp up our campaign to compel disclosure of hazardous chemicals used in the process of hydraulic fracturing (fracking) on behalf of nearby communities. And fight the sugar industry for a rule requiring labeling of added sugar in the food we eat. And pressure federal agencies to allow scientists to speak freely with the public and the media.

At every step, we’re up against powerful politicians who are working directly against us. Whatever happens in the election, science still won’t have the seat at the table it deserves. It’s our job to fix that, even if the fight gets tougher. Especially if the fight gets tougher.

$1 million in additional funding for our Center for Science and Democracy will multiply our capacity to hold politicians and corporations accountable, organize experts, and engage citizens to act—but time is running out for us to seize this offer.

I hope you’ll chip in what you can right now to help out.
Ken Kimmell Sincerely,
Ken Kimmell

Couple years ago….brain cancer.He was a healthy nut, an athlete, never drunk nor smoked.He never did suffer, actually.14 months on a hospital – BUT – he was a Canadian citizen.Got the BEST treatment and compassionate medics there.An helicopter lifted him to be checked by a great brain oncologist in Montreal.One of the reasons I get so furious on certain American blogs from goobers who insist Canadians have to wait 6 months to be seen by a specialist. From the day he called to tell me he has had a twitch on his left arm for a while, I told him call 911.”You could be having a cardiac arrest/heart attack.” He was immediately admitted to the hospital.Then all sort of tests/exams ensued.Do you imagine of what would happen here? They would kick him out after 6 months , when all hopes were gone.And cancel his healthcare…Hugs

The Police States of America

It is not only here…The Billdeberg foundation is here to stay.We are facing times of an upheaval dooms day.We have over 3 billion people on this planet without jobs.The carbon print is immense.Food is scarce and so is water – reason why the Chinese are buying everything and depleting Africa of their most treasures, natural resources…Follow the money….We are doomed…..

Why Preventing Genocide Isn’t the Same as Re-Invading Iraq

Yes we are very passionate but very loud too. My analyst insisted once that I should try to get some Scandinavian blood transfusion LOLOLOL.

Kalima as I’ve said above, I ABHOR extremism in any form or side.I call the right wing nuts in “Murika” talibangelists and they are even worst than the Islam fundamentalists.We are both on the same level here. I am sorry – should have remembered you are German and hence is Merkel for you 🙂 and Joachim Gauck, the Prez…

BTW I am not angry. I am in desperation to watch all this obscenity named religion to vanish from this planet.And yes I am (EYE-TALIAN) as the CONS pronounce it hence a hot head. Never pretended to be someone else.

Actually I am a monthly contributor to Medecins Sans Frontiers. And I am so sorry to have mis written the date: it was 9/11/1683.I got NOTHING against Muslims ..but everything against fanatical people.xtians included. FYI my oldest nephew converted to Islam and married a wonderful girl from Saudi Arabia. They are now parents of 4 of wonderful kids.. But since I can read in several languages …I hope I am not being brainwashed as you’ve claimed.Even MOST of my Muslim friends are against HAMAS.So sorry…That is the truth. Evidently it was all initiated by YOUR president – the fool in chief and his thugs, being DICKcheney the Mastermindcriminal and their Poodle Blair. Altogether with my mob premier,the pathetic Berlusconi whom, through his printing plants, fabricated the “yellow cake” memorandum from Niger.
Basically, Kalima, I am fully disgusted with ANY religious organized faith.We should be free from these illness.Want to delete my previous post? Go ahead.PEACE.

I respectfully do not agree….Should we go back into HISTORY???? O 9/11 1983, the fanatics were deceived. And what fanatical Islamist’s who follow their “prophet”, vowed to cut their heads, rape their children and women until they submit to Islam fanaticism? This go back centuries ago and Americans are not to be blamed.Everybody is trying to blame the west…..Go back to that age.Thank you.We are witnessing an upheaval of fanatical muslims as much as fanatical xtians. HISTORY repeats itself.Peace.But if you ask me which side I am lingering on? ISRAEL.By all means. They do not use human – their own – to project a “poor people project”. Israel defend themselves. I do not intend to be forced to convert to any kind of mental health disease. RELIGION.

Great article,Nirek. I believe MacShame is so full of scheister he cannot distinguish reality from fantasy anymore.IF he wasn’t from the get go, paranoid and delirious.I’ve also read on other blogs he was a mediocre pilot who destroyed through his inability and incompetence several planes.Have a good one.

AT LAST! The Sarah Palin Channel……You Betcha!

Well at least – APPARENTLY – her listeners are decreasing which should be cause to some sort of celebration. It means people are growing a brain. And like Nirek above, I refuse to listen to her shrieking voice and her imbecility , her crassness and vulgarity. What’s next? Will she star on a porno movie to the very old and very white CONservatives? We are all rather aware she has no dignity and no morals.She is the scum on the bottom of the pond. It brings me back memories of her “NYT” book list , which was reached through endless churches buying thousands of her book only so her rag was a big hit. It’s was all to keep up appearances . It ended up at Dollar stores for a buck and still people were not buying .I have a good friend who owns 5 of these stores and in the end, they were sent to recycle. Hundreds of thousands of them.

Putin’s Ukrainian Gambit is Really Starting to Hurt the Russian Economy

So MTS, it means that he has already won?Scary shit …….”Those who do not learn from the past…”Great post!

F’d Up: Even so…Why Western Europe Hesitates in its Sanctioning of Russia

As usual ST, brilliant!

» Posted By EXFANOFARIANA On August 3, 2014 @ 8:01 am

Very well crafted,Murph.But the moment I saw Merkel in sweet talks with the thug/goon, I knew we /Europeans were f’d up. Nobody seems to have the guts to endure a little (or a lot, for this matter)sacrifice and tell him to shove his gas, for the EU MUST stand together against this despot. Meanwhile he has all Russians support and never stopped sending more military weapons to destroy every Ukraine plane.The world should come together in face of this horrific massacre and try and impose all the utmost sanctions against this barbarian.Thumbs up.

What States Get More Money From The Federal Government?

Right there with you, Miles…..Completely agree.
One has only to compare the intellectual level or IQ on the blue states versus the red ones.I recommend you all to watch Alessandra Pelosi’s doc she did for Bill Maher on Mississippi couple years ago.Short and spot on.

Russia’s Shooting Down of Malaysia Flight 17 – The New Lusitania?

Kalima, I cannot seem to find our conversation on OT…..Everybody is talking about those kids WHEN, Israel begged HAMAS to evacuate the school.Why aren’t you talking about the 3 Israelis teens murdered by them?This is all a bloody mess.The world stands now on the verge of yet another immense suffering…WWIII? Nobody wins, that’s for sure.3 1/2 billion people unemployed on this planet.The lesser ones (economically) keep reproducing……WHERE IS THE FOOD AND WATER FOR EVERYBODY? How will they survive? Peace.

» Posted By EXFANOFARIANA On July 26, 2014 @ 4:05 pm

I have to agree with you….the new blocs…We keep adding countries to the EU that have nothing to offer or to give to the betterment of the Union.
So you are German. Love your country…just wish MY people were as well organized and strong willed, disciplined et all as your people. And the Northern Italian league gains more and more supporters…YOU must understand my drill here.

I have been avoiding commenting here and elsewhere for I am fuming MAD. We, Europeans are too chickenshit scared of being devoid of f*cking gas from the most putrid, inhumane , mob of all times Putin the PUTA. Reading all the European blogs today and for the past ones, this will not be retaliated by ANY measure. Merkel is another chicken shit.Even when all Holland is hurting…all the Prime Ministers are interested in is f*cking GAS…..How fast do they forget when, after WWII, they all decided and opted to run their bicycles??? I am beyond disgusted. And very happy to be presently living in this country. My guess is: I am too old for this shit. It’s like reading Amschel Rothschild again:”Give me control of a nation’s money and I care not who makes the laws.” And it’s not only here: it’s ALL over the world.Today I’ve found out a close friend of my family for over 40 years, is involved on money laundering, suspicious interest et al..He was arrested but got bailed out on 3 million Euros…I do not know anything anymore. I’m left with a profound sense of sadness and despair…to the most dirty mankind has ever known.HOW COME A PERSON WHO FREQUENTED MY HOME?????Is a major, much bigger Madoff??????
