US: Ron Paul’s plan for breaking the debt-ceiling deadlock calls for ripping up the phony US debt to the Federal Reserve. That would reduce the overall national debt by $1 trillion or more, which would allow the government to continue spending and borrowing without raising the debt ceiling – at least for now. [This is a temporary fix, not a long-term solution, but it beats raising the debt ceiling.]

Exxon Mobile must face charges of murder, torture, and sexual assault committed by an Indonesian military unit acting under contract with the company. The judge said that corporations are liable for the actions of their agents. [That is a welcome step in the right direction The next step would be for the courts to hold corporate executives and managers responsible for the actions of their companies – but don’t hold your breath for that one. If Exxon is found guilty, we predict that no one will go to prison, and the fines will be paid by Exxon’s stockholders, while executives receive bonuses.] Bloomberg 2011 Jul 8 (Cached)
China: 64 Million luxury apartments are vacant because people can’t afford them. This is the result of the Communist ‘command economy’ which allocates resources for political ends, not in response to supply and demand. Collectivism may create the outward appearance of economic advance but it never can produce the real thing. [Much of the Chinese Miracle Economy we hear so much about is a hollow facade, as these ghost cities clearly show.]

Scientists who have endorsed the global-warming myth admit that the planet actually has cooled over the past decade. Instead of abandoning their failed theory, now they blame the cooling on sulfur pollution from coal plants in China, and they are using the new theory to sell the idea of spraying chemicals into the atmosphere (geo-engineering) to fight global warming, which they insist will return soon. [You have to give these people credit for creativity.] ActivistPost 2011 Jul 5 (Cached)

St. Petersburg, Florida: A police officer is being investigated after he warned the father of a robbery victim about a dangerous part of town.

American Association for the Advancement of Science, which supports the global-warming myth, calls for an end to demands by skeptics to see their research data. Why? Because they claim they have received threats and harassment. [We suspect they manufactured their own threats and harassments as a ploy to portray themselves as victims; but, even if that is not the case, the way to stop threats and harassment is to prosecute the perpetrators, not to conceal research data.] Yahoo Posted 2011 Jul 2 (Cached)

Reports and commentaries that look beyond the news to identify historical facts and trends that must be understood to place the news into perspective. This is our “think-tank” section that makes it possible to anticipate future events.
The documentary Gasland focuses on water contamination that follows gas drilling and fracking In several scenes, methane gas, mixed with water, bursts into flames as it comes from water faucets. Now we find that this was not uncommon even before introducing the new technology. The film’s producer failed to mention that because he felt it was irrelevant. [This has damaged the credibility of the documentary and dulled the possibility that contamination may be be far worse now than before drilling and fracking.] WattsUpWithThat 2011 Jul 4 (Cached)

HUMOR

There’s an old sea story about a ship’s Captain who inspected
his sailors, and afterward told the first mate that his men smelled bad. The Captain suggested perhaps it would help if the sailors would change underwear occasionally. The first mate responded, “Aye, aye sir, I’ll see to it immediately!”
The first mate went straight to the sailors berth deck and announced, “The Captain thinks you guys smell bad and wants you to change your underwear.” He continued, “Pittman, you change with Jones, McCarthy, you change with Witkowski, and Brown, you change with
Schultz.”
THE MORAL OF THE STORY: Someone may come along and promise “Change”, but don’t count on things smelling any better.
