UK calls for clearer Israeli labels The voluntary guidance says labels should give more precise information like 'Palestinian produce' [EPA] Britain has advised UK supermarkets selling goods from the West Bank to state explicitly on the labels whether the content has come from Israeli settlement or Palestinian-owned farms. The recommendation, issued by the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), is not a legal requirement but Israeli officials and settler leaders have reacted angrily to the decision, saying it will lead to a boycott of their goods. Until now, food has been labelled "Produce of the West Bank", but Defra's voluntary guidance ...

The Real Agenda Behind “Hate Crime” Laws From the Washington Examiner: This story comes to us from Broward County, Fla. Teah Wimberly, 16, is charged with murdering Amanda Coll, a friend and classmate at Dillard High School in Fort Lauderdale. Both girls were 15 at the time of the shooting. According to police, Ms. Wimberly wanted more than just a friendship with Collette, whom she’d known since childhood. Wimberly wanted a lesbian relationship with Collette, who rebuffed the idea, news reports indicate. On Nov. 12 of last year, police say, Wimberly took a .22-caliber handgun to school and fatally shot Collette. Wimberly’s trial started last week and is expected to ...
Obama's Big Sellout

Obama's Big Sellout The president has packed his economic team with Wall Street insiders intent on turning the bailout into an all-out giveaway Barack Obama ran for president as a man of the people, standing up to Wall Street as the global economy melted down in that fateful fall of 2008. He pushed a tax plan to soak the rich, ripped NAFTA for hurting the middle class and tore into John McCain for supporting a bankruptcy bill that sided with wealthy bankers "at the expense of hardworking Americans." Obama may not have run to the left of Samuel Gompers or Cesar Chavez, but it's not like you saw him on the campaign trail flanked by bankers from Citigroup and Goldman ...

The Climate Science Isn't Settled

The Climate Science Isn't Settled By Richard S. Lindzen Is there a reason to be alarmed by the prospect of global warming? Consider that the measurement used, the globally averaged temperature anomaly (GATA), is always changing. Sometimes it goes up, sometimes down, and occasionally—such as for the last dozen years or so—it does little that can be discerned. Claims that climate change is accelerating are bizarre. There is general support for the assertion that GATA has increased about 1.5 degrees Fahrenheit since the middle of the 19th century. The quality of the data is poor, though, and because the changes are small, it is easy to nudge such data a few tenths of a degree ...

Let others deal with the details of President Obama's Afghan speech, with the on-ramps and off-ramps, those 30,000 U.S. troops going in and just where they will be deployed, the benchmarks for what's called "good governance" in Afghanistan, the corruption of the Karzai regime, the viability of counterinsurgency warfare, the reliability of NATO allies, and so on. Let's just skip to the most essential point which, in a nutshell, is this: Victory at Last! It's been a long time coming, but finally American war commanders have effectively marshaled their forces, netcentrically outmaneuvering and outflanking the enemy. They have shocked-and-awed their opponents, won the ...
Cops ‘R’ The Greatest Threat

This country used to hold up the American Judicial System as the fairest in the world. Obviously it was a flawed system at best, but at least the participants from judges, prosecutors and the government did not dare to do what they have now accepted as “normal.” In this case and in almost all others now – ‘normal’ calls for police-state procedures from arrests through the charging or the lack of charges brought, which includes the possibility of the indeterminate holding of citizens without charges, in solitary military confinement (if you’re a civilian), and torture, total isolation and the possibility of no access to either a lawyer or to family members. The ...

We, the various Third World majorities of Africa, Asia, India, South America, and the Middle East assert that your long history of success at building civilizations, developing new technologies, creating stable governments, fostering good will, feeding much of the world, and increasing peace and prosperity even amongst the riotous hordes of our own homelands, has made us envious and resentful of you.

Internet’s Primary Gatekeeper in Bed With Big Brother? By Victor Thorn LIKE AN ORWELLIAN SET OF EYES watching society’s every move, Google—the world’s predominant search engine—is quickly becoming a modern-day Big Brother. Robert Verkaik, law editor for The Independent, described their intent on May 24, 2007 as “setting out to create the most comprehensive database of personal information ever assembled, one with the ability to tell people how to run their lives.” Similarly, Clint Boulton of GoogleWatch described the corporation on September 9. “Google conjures an image of science fiction films such as War of the Worlds. The servers are like ...
Poll: Record Number of Americans Feeling Isolationist

President Barack Obama may be swimming against the tide of public sentiment in ordering more troops to Afghanistan. A new poll by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press and the Council on Foreign Relations – results of which are set to be released Thursday — found that isolationist sentiment in the U.S. is at the highest level since the polling outfit and its predecessors began to measure such sentiment in 1964. Andrew Kohut, president of the Pew Center, said the number of Americans who said the U.S. should go its own way and not worry about other countries was higher than during either the Vietnam or Iraq wars. He declined to divulge specific figures, but said a ...

Oil, Oil Everywhere, and Not a Drop to Pump Nicole Kurokawa Tuesday, December 01, 2009 If you had something you needed in your home, would you go to the store to buy it anyway? Of course not! Strangely, however, some members of Congress seem determined to push the country toward making this counterproductive choice. The Congressional Research Service released a report at the end of October, “U.S. Fossil Fuel Resources: Terminology, Reporting, and Summary,” which clearly showed that the U.S. has a considerable amount of oil, coal, and natural gas at its disposal—but most of it hasn't been accessed. According to the report, “the resource pyramid indicates that many ...

Random Thoughts Thomas Sowell Tuesday, December 01, 2009 Random thoughts on the passing scene: Sometimes we seem like people on a pleasure boat drifting down the Niagara river, unaware that there are waterfalls up ahead. I don't know what people think is going to happen when a nation that already sponsors international terrorism has nuclear bombs to give to terrorists around the world. Since this is an era when many people are concerned about "fairness" and "social justice," what is your "fair share" of what someone else has worked for? Here is a math problem for you: Assume that the legislation establishing government control of medical care is passed ...
Interracial Perceptions and the Role of Political Theology

Interracial Perceptions and the Role of Political Theology Tom Sunic November 29, 2009 Although race, IQ and heredity are of crucial importance in studying the birth and death of civilizations, other factors, such as religion or political theology cannot be shrugged away. There is a tendency among White nationalists and some prominent scholars and activists to harp only on the issue of race and IQ, forgetting the role of ideology in their study of the culture of Western suicide. Is there a “liberal gene,” a “communist gene,” or a “Christian gene”? Why do millions of intelligent Whites embrace strange non-European political theologies, even at the price of ...
Stuff happens with Tiger Woods, no one can relate, yet hardly anyone gives a fuck

media baffled. (AP) Over the thanksgiving weekend, Tiger Woods did stuff. A lot of people got worked up, but hardly anyone at at all with real tires and a truck that could actually drive over shit noticed. Often, they gathered at 'filling stations' and places where stuff meant shit, but no one at all bothered to whine about some half breed mongrel golf faggot when they could hardly afford the price to fill up with gas, much less mollify their angry, dissatisfied fishwife. It was wrong, for sure, but even Jesse Jackson was reported to whine incoherently, "yes." News outlets everywhere tried to inflate events to match the demands of their impotent editors, but even ...
Copenhagen, Carbon and Control

From scrapped cars to bloated NGOs, funded by those who aim to profit from carbon, one need only look to the European Union and the UK to see what’s planned for America. It’s no surprise that the US government, and associated institutions, plan to support “low carbon” strategies for a new world. It takes only a few clicks of the mouse to discover the tentacle-like, death hold the green revolutionaries possess throughout the USA and the world. A myriad of tentacles have been developed which appear to be innocuous non-profits like Transition US, Post Carbon Institute, Carbon Trust, or the Chicago Climate Exchange. Examples of relevant government entities include the US ...

If you're a large nation, which can create a huge audience that it then persuades through a massive public relations campaign to endorse its obsession, then no matter how terrible ...
