Al Gore Calls Global Warming Skeptics “Immoral, Unethical And Despicable”…
..... Al Gore fired up an audience of thousands at the Stan Sheriff Center to believe that global warming can be stopped......
So he hasn't heard it's now "climate change" not "global warming"? Guy always was a bit slow. Question: IF you are babbling today about global warming, are you a Denial of "climate change"? It would depend if the flowers around your neck were on a endangered list or not... |

Al Gore Calls Global Warming Skeptics “Immoral, Unethical And Despicable”… The man who was almost president graced Honolulu with his presence Tuesday and walked us through a “seminar of sustainability.” By turns a university professor, a wry observer, a recovering politician, a joke teller and a Southern preacher, Al Gore fired up an audience of thousands at the Stan Sheriff Center to believe that global warming can be stopped. But it’s possible only if each of us does our part. “Ultimately, we are going to win this thing,” he said, one of many statements met with hearty applause. He also managed to repeatedly gush over fellow Democrats Neil Abercrombie and Brian Schatz, who he singled out multiple times as leading the fight here at home and in Washington to tackle the environmental crisis head on. [...] But Gore cited two “game changers” in recent years that will help. The first is the growing realization from even climate-change deniers that something seems to be strange with the weather. The second is the exponential growth in photovoltaic solar panels, driven largely by consumer demand for lower prices. The “barriers” to doing something about climate change are business and political interests that profit off of fossil fuels — “dirty energy that causes dirty weather.” He compared fake science from polluters stating that humans are not to blame for the climate to tobacco companies that used to hire actors to play doctors who denied cigarettes were dangerous. “That’s immoral, unethical and despicable,” he said of both. http://www.civilbeat.com/articles/2014/04/15/21808-al-gore-on-climate-change-we-are-going-to-win-this-thing/

 The federal agency that backed down over the weekend in a tense standoff with a Nevada rancher is being accused of leaving a trail of wreckage behind. Fox News toured the damage -- allegedly caused by the Bureau of Land Management -- which included holes in water tanks and destroyed water lines and fences. According to family friends, the bureau's hired "cowboys" also killed two prize bulls. "They had total control of this land for one week, and look at the destruction they did in one week," said Corey Houston, friend of rancher Cliven Bundy and his family. "So why would you trust somebody like that? And how does that show that they're a better steward?" The BLM and other law enforcement officials backed down on Saturday in their effort to seize Bundy's cattle, after hundreds of protesters, some armed, arrived to show support for the Bundy family. In the end, BLM officials left the scene amid concerns about safety, and no shots were fired. The dispute between the feds and the Bundy family has been going on for years; they say he owes more than $1.1 million in unpaid grazing fees -- and long ago revoked his grazing rights over concern for a federally protected tortoise. They sent officials to round up his livestock following a pair of federal court orders last year giving the U.S. government the authority to impound the cattle. The feds, though, are being accused of taking the court orders way too far. On a Friday night conference call, BLM officials told reporters that "illegal structures" on Bundy's ranch -- water tanks, water lines and corrals -- had to be removed to "restore" the land to its natural state and prevent the rancher from restarting his illegal cattle operation. However, the court order used to justify the operation appears only to give the agency the authority to "seize and impound" Bundy's cattle. "Nowhere in the court order that I saw does it say that they can destroy infrastructure, destroy corrals, tanks ... desert environment, shoot cattle," Houston said. Bundy's friends say the BLM wranglers told them the bulls were shot because they were dangerous and could gore their horses. One bull was shot five times. But Houston said the pen holding the bull wasn't even bent. "It's not like the bull was smashing this pen and trying tackle people or anything," he said. "The pen is sitting here. It hasn't moved. No damage whatsoever. Where was the danger with that bull?" Plus he said BLM vehicles appear to have crushed a tortoise burrow near the damaged water tank. "How's that conservation?" he asked. The BLM has not yet responded to a request for comment on these allegations. Bundy has refused to pay the grazing fees or remove his cattle, and doesn't even acknowledge the federal government's authority to assess or collect damages. The bureau has said if Bundy wasn't willing to pay, then they would sell his cattle. However, there was a problem with that plan -- few in Nevada would touch Bundy's cattle for fear of being blacklisted. "The sale yards are very nervous about taking what in the past has been basically stolen cattle from the federal government," Nevada Agriculture Commissioner Ramona Morrison said. Documents show the BLM paid a Utah cattle wrangler $966,000 to collect Bundy's cattle and a Utah auctioneer to sell them. However, Utah Gov. Gary Herbert refused to let Bundy cattle cross state lines, saying in a letter: "As Governor of Utah, I urgently request that a herd of cattle seized by the Bureau of Land Management from Mr. Cliven Bundy of Bunkerville, Nevada, not be sent to Utah. There are serious concerns about human safety and animal health and well-being, if these animals are shipped to and sold in Utah." That letter was sent three days before the BLM round-up, which is why the cattle were still being held Saturday in temporary pens just a few miles from Bundy's ranch. Morrison says BLM was sitting on cattle because it had no way to get rid of them -- setting up a potential tragedy as orphaned calves were not getting any milk and feed costs were about to skyrocket. The showdown is far from over. The BLM says it will "continue to work to resolve the matter administratively and judicially," though Bundy still doesn't recognize federal authority over the federal lands that he continues to use in violation of a court order. The federal judge who issued that decision says Bundy's claims "are without merit." That order from October 2013 says Bundy owes $200 per day per head for every day he fails to move his cattle. That amounts to roughly $640 million in damages owed to the federal government for illegally grazing his cattle.http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/04/16/feds-accused-leaving-trail-wreckage-after-nevada-ranch-standoff/ |

http://scgnews.com/bundy-ranch-what-youre-not-being-told (the original source) This video is down until we get to the bottom of this story. UPDATE: We took down our video on the Bundy Ranch scandal because it contains what we believe is a factual error and it would be irresponsible to leave it up in its current form. Especially in the current context. We are going to begin working on a replacement video only after completing a new investigation.

Well , I assumed , and maybe I did the wrong thing that leaving Venezuela isn't as hard as leaving Cuba.
Or maybe i'm just behind with the time and the news.
Hmm.... At least Venezuela is not an island. Well... Out of the three neighbors, two are outright hostile to Venezuela (Colombia, because of support to FARC, and Guyana, due to border disputes). The other option is Brazil, and most of the Venezuelan-Brazilian border is covered by the Amazonian rain-forest, with Indian reservations on both sides. Extremely dangerous.  You could travel all the way to French Guiana if you are desperate enough. Well, let's be real: anyone coming from Cuba would be desperate enough to fight snakes, leeches, parasites growing eggs under one's skin and multiple toxic plants to err.. "relocate"What would make the trip extremely dangerous are not the indegenous Indians but the gold diggers and other bandits along the way... |

POS Rory Reid says Rancher Cliven Bundy Should Be ProsecutedRory Reid, son of Senator Harry Reid, appeared on News 3′s “What’s Your Point?” this week to discuss the Bundy Ranch showdown. Reid bashed ranchers and miners in his segment with host Jeff Gillan: “Nevada is a loser here. Everybody who’s ever served in public office in Nevada has talked about expanding our economy so we don’t rely on gaming and ranching and mining and what people all over the country saw were pictures of what was going on in our state… There’s more to happen here, I’m sure.” http://youtu.be/E33k8wABHtw

Whenever they have these type of stories I wonder if it is the truth or just a weird rumor they spill out to make people fear the North. Albeit the key word was it really 120 dogs Not 119 or 121  Any normal person that opened his mind and research a little bit would know the truth. That it's a made up story with no evidence to back it up, or a rumor North K., the funniest place on Earth. |

"Free" is never free. Someone is always paying.
The Venezuelan government is paying. They are taking care of Cuba's petroleum needs. Right now, Cuba doesn't have to worry about its oil imports. They can import for all their needs, without paying a penny. So those 80 000 health care workers were paid with buckets of hot liquid asphalt? Why were they not happy then? |

Post #94 - Stefan Molyneux was saying the BLM used the excuse of protecting historic Indian sites when they are taking over the lands.. Lands taken by killing the Indians by the government now protecting tortoises. Hmmm.
If the farmer's ancestors fought the Natives back in the days, then the people who should get those lands back are them, not the BLM...

yesterday there was a documentary in Al Jazeera. According to it, there are some 80,000 Cuban doctors currently working in Venezuela, under the oil for services program initiated by Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro. The poor Venezuelans are happy with the free healthcare which they are getting, but most of the health care workers are not happy about their salaries.
"Free" is never free. Someone is always paying. |

US land claims in Bundy case based on lie-started, treaty-violating, unlawful war on Mexico “The only thing new in the world is the history you don’t know.” - President Harry Truman, Plain Speaking: An Oral Biography of Harry S. Truman (1974), Merle Miller, pg. 26. The Bundy land case raises questions of US federal authority on the ~80% of Nevada they claim to “own.” It’s also a spark for Americans to act on a local issue within a context of US government “leaders” engaging in OBVIOUS crimes centering in war, money, and media (also in ~100 other crucial areas). US land claims (and here) in Nevada and throughout the US Southwest originate in similar crimes to current US lie-started, treaty-violating, unlawful Wars of Aggression. These claims are from violating treaties with Native Americans, and a lie-started, treaty-violating, unlawful invasive war on Mexico. If the land in question was stolen by the US federal government, and used US military to do so only with unlawful orders and lies to our trusting soldiers and families, then we have strong arguments that all ensuing claims of the federal government are void because anything passed as so-called “law” in obvious violation to the US Constitution is void with zero legal force. http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2014/04/us-land-claims-bundy-case-based-lie-started-treaty-violating-unlawful-war-mexico.html...The war killed over 50,000 Mexicans and over 5,000 Americans, and is a clear historical precedent for US “leadership” to choose lies, dictatorship, and War of Aggression rather than truth, limited government under the law, and peace. Ok, but if you go far enough back almost all the USA land belongs to Native Americans.  If you go back far enough Native Americans walked from Europe when the ice would link both continents. |

This world will become crazy someday then we will destroy all that tech and who knows what will happen afterwards.
Many movies are based on that script. Too bad, if that happen the most (in)visible tech to get banned first could be bitcoin.  Well unless it ends up like those movies where the Super Intelligent AI takes over then HAL might use Bitcoins ^_^ (Actually not sure what the super intelligent robotic destruction AI would use them for but who knows in ten years when we see what digital based currencies evolve into we might have our reason ^_^) IAs will have needs too. No reason for them not to use a digital currency, perfect for their post human world |

North Korean Officials Target Hair Salon Over Kim Jong-un Diss Apparently not all publicity is good publicity in the eyes of North Korea — especially when it comes to state-mandated haircuts. A London hair salon was targeted last week by alleged North Korean embassy officials over an unflattering advertisement that features the country's leader Kim Jong-un and his infamous 'do, according to multiple reports. The ad promoted a 15% discount on haircuts at the M&M Hair Academy throughout April, and aimed to be a clever way to bolster sales. It included a smiling photo of Kim, with the words "Bad hair day?" emblazoned across his chest. The ad went up on April 9, the BBC reported. Unfortunately for the salon, however, the North Korean embassy is only a mile away. Two men showed up, and began taking pictures and writing notes the day after the ad went up, the The Guardian reported. They then entered the salon, and asked who was responsible for the ad, reportedly claiming that it was disrespectful and had to come down. "I told them this is England and not North Korea and told them to get their lawyers," Mo Nabbach, M&M's manager, told the London Evening Standard. "The two guys were wearing suits and they were very serious. It was very threatening." Nabbach said he took the ad down, but was encouraged by clients to put it back up in the window. He eventually contacted local police after asking the men to leave. They did not specifically say where they worked, but a Metropolitan Police Service spokesperson told The Guardian that officers had been in contact with the North Korean embassy. On Monday, the North Korean embassy sent a letter to the UK's Foreign Office, complaining about the ad, according to the Evening Standard. The letter demanded that the Foreign Office take "necessary action to stop the provocation." Kim's government allegedly mandated last month that all male university students are now required to sport the block-like hairdo, although the Associated Press reported that visitors to North Korea have not noticed a change in hairstyle choice. The North Korean embassy did not immediately respond to Mashable's request for comment. http://mashable.com/2014/04/16/kim-jong-un-hairstyle-ad/------------------------------------------------------------------------ I am glad I read that news on time.

We should leave the world alone, but we never do.
'murica Hell yeah?
Thank god Obama is the POTUS. It would have been unimaginable if Bush or Romney was the current POTUS. Who knows what might have occurred? May be an invasion of Venezuela? Another one million civilian deaths? I agree with that statement to a point. Meaning he isn't the best candidate for the job but instead the better of to evils. I was a supporter of him in the beginning but I felt he was losing site of what he promised he would do when he ran for office.  Obama is such a great guy |

 Finally, I can’t help but wonder how conservatives would react if these were black farmers—or black anyone—defending “their” land against federal officials. Would Fox News applaud black militiamen aiming their guns at white bureaucrats? Somehow, given the degree to which right-wing media traffic in racial paranoia, I think we’d be looking at a different situation if the Bundy Ranch belonged to a bunch of black people. And as someone who closely follows the regular incidents of lethal police violence against blacks and Latinos, I also wonder whether law enforcement would be as tepid against a group of armed African-Americans. Judging from past events, I’m not so sure. http://www.slate.com/blogs/weigel/2014/04/15/bundy_ranch_and_bureau_of_land_management_standoff_what_right_wingers_anger.html------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Oooh Slate.com!

I'm getting confused now Wilikon
So now that we all agree the CIA is 100% behind the coup..
I didn't realise we did all agree it was the US/CIA's fault - but given that we do, then... .. should we give the Real Time Socialist Train Wreck a bit more time and trust things will get organically better in Venezuela? ..this question doesn't make much sense. What are you suggesting - we send in the US Marine Corps ? How about the US/US money getting the hell out of Venezuela, the Ukraine etc and leave the world to find its own way - rather than being perpetually shafted by the United States' duplicity and its fools gold. I will add a couple of after my fake question next time. The only push back from my various videos and images of abuses is to blame the CIA, NEVER what the Venezuelan government is doing to its own people. So it seems a lot of people agreed to close their eyes and blame Obama's CIA with the killing fields in Venezuela. I am suggesting you to share what is going on in Venezuela now and not let all those people die quietly, as the Media is not doing its job. Obviously for those who believes the CIA is behind a coup they will tell you all the negative press covering Venezuela is 100% US propaganda. This is still a Socialist Train Wreck and we all know how it will end, with the Obama CIA's help or not. |
