In short, those who are TAKING now “outnumber” those who are producing and required to PAY at the point of a Hired Gun, a Mercenary — and like any leach or tyrant throughout history they always ‘demand’ MORE from you and yours … But For: YOU have by your acquiesce, contributions, inactions and silence over time become the Delegated Debtors of your own wrong, and with your assent!!!  How do you spell CONQUEST, DOMINATION or SUBMISSION???

An international body that monitors fisheries in most of the Pacific Ocean ended a meeting in Japan on Thursday without agreement on fresh measures to protect the dwindling bluefin tuna.

The Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission was unable to get a consensus on either short-term or long-term measures to help restore the bluefin population, whose numbers are estimated to have fallen 96 percent from unfished levels.   Continue reading “Pacific Bluefin Tuna Group Puts off New Moves to Save Fish”

Bolivia — After the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) was kicked out of Bolivia, the country was able to drastically reduce the amount of coca (cocaine) produced within its borders. According to data released by the United Nations, cocaine production in the country declined by 11% in the past year, marking the fourth year in a row of steady decrease.

It was just seven years ago that the DEA left Bolivia — and only three years after that, progress was finally made. The strategy employed by the Bolivian government may be a surprise to many prohibitionists because it did not involve any strong-arm police state tactics. Instead, they worked to find alternative crops for farmers to grow that would actually make them more money.   Continue reading “Cocaine Production Plummets After DEA Kicked Out of Bolivia”

I predicted in this column last week that the left wasn’t going to kill off the coal industry so much as it was going to steal it. That prediction is already becoming true courtesy of billionaire George Soros.

U.S. Securities and Exchange Act filings indicate that Soros has purchased an initial 1 million shares of Peabody Energy and 553,200 shares of Arch Coal, the two largest publicly traded U.S. coal companies. As pointed out last week, both companies have been driven perilously close to bankruptcy by the combination of President Obama’s “war on coal” and inexpensive natural gas brought on by the hydrofracturing revolution.   Continue reading “The New King Coal: George Soros”

About 150 wildland firefighters have been relocated from the Collier Butte Fire east of Gold Beach to other fires throughout the West as fires threaten communities in what many officials are calling the worst wildfire season on record.

Almost 100 uncontained fires rage throughout the nation, stretching thin crews, helicopters and planes, water tenders and support personnel. Other fires are in need of vast numbers of resources to protect lives and homes, and crews and aircraft are being reassigned to protect them.   Continue reading “Wildfire Update: The battles continues”

The country’s steelmakers reduced output last month, adding to signs of waning demand in the world’s largest producer as companies grappled with overcapacity, sinking prices and slowing economic growth.

Crude-steel output fell 4.6 percent to 65.84 million metric tons from June, data from the National Bureau of Statistics showed on Wednesday.   Continue reading “Steelmakers hit by glut in production, sinking prices”

A Sharp Knife is a Safe Knife

Keeping a sharp edge on your blade is important for your own safety for two reasons:

  1. Compensating for a dull edge by applying additional force to finish a cut is where serious injuries can occur. If the knife blade is unexpectedly freed from what you are cutting, there is often an ongoing momentum that can slash you.
  2. And second because one day you might actually have to use it in a life-threatening situation. You don’t want a blunt knife.

This plant is called giant hogweed and buds pretty white flowers that give it an altogether innocuous look.  Folks, make no mistake touching this plant!

Kids are in danger because they are more curious.

They should teach this in schools. There are only 10 plants in north america (excluding fungi) that kids need to know to avoid. So sad that kids aren’t taught basic things like this… or like what poison oak looks like.(source)   Continue reading “If You See This Plant, Whatever You Do Don’t Touch It!”

Suppressing evidence, coddling informants, even outright lying are some of the instances of prosecutorial misconduct that sent away nearly half the 1,621 people convicted for crimes they didn’t commit since 1989, according to the University of Michigan Law School’s National Registry of Exonerations. These are only the cases we know about, and they are surely only a fraction of the wrongly convicted. Even so, the figure is stunning—especially when you consider that 115 of them were people condemned to die.

The punishment for bad prosecutorial misconduct is virtually nil. In a 2011 report on 707 such cases, only six prosecutors were disciplined. Almost all still have their licenses, and are still practicing law.   Continue reading “It’s Not Just Bad Cops: Prosecutors Run Wild”

There’s been a lot of debate over whether the United States should treat Internet service as a utility. But there’s no question that Internet service is already a utility in Sandy, Oregon, a city of about 10,000 residents, where the government has been offering broadband for more than a decade.

“SandyNet” launched nearly 15 years ago with DSL and wireless service, and this summer it’s putting the final touches on a citywide upgrade to fiber. The upgrade was paid for with a $7.5 million revenue bond, which will be repaid by system revenues. Despite not being subsidized by taxpayer dollars, prices are still low: $40 a month for symmetrical 100Mbps service or $60 a month for 1Gbps. There are no contracts or data caps.   Continue reading “Where broadband is a utility, 100Mbps costs just $40 a month”
