"War is a quarrel between two thieves too cowardly to fight their own battle; therefore they take boys from one village and another village, stick them into uniforms, equip them with guns, and let them loose like wild beasts against each other." - Thomas Carlyle
"Not only do . . . rulers keep many millions of men whose only trade is war, but these must be supported in worse than useless idleness by the labor of the poor. Still other millions are trained to war and are ever ready to answer to their master's call, to desert their homes and trades and offer up their lives to satisfy the vain ambitions of the ruler of the state. Millions more must give their strength and lives to build forts and ships, make guns and cannon and all the modern implements of war. Apart from any moral question of the right of man to slay his fellow man, all this great burden rests upon the poor. The vast expense of war comes from the production of the land and must serve to weaken and impair its industrial strength." - Clarence Darrow, Resist Not Evil
can you imagine,perhaps empathize, the cognitive dissidence of a policeman, with morality feels/thinks, how the indigenous rcmp or nypd native COP thinks and feels when he is asked to look at peaceful protesters for just causes that even affect his own family and the first amendment, moral or not, as terrorist because [your/their] paycheck depends on this "sic the dog" mentality on own people, kin perhaps? (this does not come easy must be "highly-trained" or psychopathic )........tough choices for some, easy for others, suicide or homicide for the remaining of these two....kos

(The Turtle ship, also known as Geobukseon (거북선), was a type of large Korean warship that was used intermittently by the Royal Korean Navy during the Joseon Dynasty from the early 15th century up until the 19th century. It was used alongside the standard Korean Panokseon warships in the fight against invading Japanese naval ships. The ship's name derives from its protective shell-like covering.)

When
President Obama signed into law an overhaul of the nation's food
safety regime in early 2011, it was clear that the system needed a kick
in the pants. Recent salmonella outbreaks involving a dizzying array
of peanut products and a half billion eggs had revealed a dysfunctional,
porous regulatory environment for the nation's increasingly
concentrated food system.
But
the resulting law, called the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA),
ended up a pretty modest piece of work when it came to reining in
massive operations that can sicken thousands nationwide with a single
day's output. At the same time, advocates worried that the rules would
steamroll small and midsize farms: Obviously, what would be a light
burden for a multinational giant like, say, Kraft Foods could be a
crushing one for a farm that sells its produce at a farmers market.

No Class Warfare, Please—We’re Americans
In a year that has featured increased coverage of rising economic inequality—helped along by President Barack Obama’s call to rebuild the economy from the “middle out,” and New York mayoral candidate Bill de Blasio’s campaign focus on a “tale of two cities”—one of the biggest flurries of attention came in late July, when four professors from Harvard and Berkeley released a study (NBER, 7/13) of economic mobility in the United States. Their finding: Someone hoping to lift themselves from the bottom of the income scale into the middle class or above faces much longer odds in certain parts of the country, particularly the Deep South.
As a result, reported David Leonhardt in a front-page story in the New York Times (7/22/13):
On average, fairly poor children in Seattle—those who grew up in the 25th percentile of the national income distribution—do as well financially when they grow up as middle-class children—those who grew up at the 50th percentile—from Atlanta.

- “Extreme weather and climate events” are linked to climate change
while no mention is made of government programs deliberately aimed at
modifying the weather and inducing earthquakes, drought, rain, and
tsunamis.
The modern weather modification
program, at least in the US, is over 70 years old. Public service
announcements printed in newspapers back in the 1960s warned of
government intention to modify the weather.
Life Magazine, back in the 50s
and 60s, continually covered US weather modification programs, including
Project Stormfury which redirected and reduced hurricane intensity from
1962 to 1983. The IPCC’s continuing and absolute silence on such
programs is deafening.

- Ten mega corporations control the output of almost everything you buy; from household products to pet food to jeans.
According to this chart
via Reddit, called "The Illusion of Choice," these corporations create a
chain that begins at one of 10 super companies. You've heard of the
biggest names, but it's amazing to see what these giants own.

The Neocons' Iraq War Mess

Volume of nuclear waste could be reduced by 90 per cent says new research
Engineers from the University of Sheffield have developed a way to significantly reduce the volume of some higher activity wastes, which will reduce the cost of interim storage and final disposal.The researchers, from the University’s Faculty of Engineering, have shown that mixing plutonium-contaminated waste with blast furnace slag and turning it into glass reduces its volume by 85-95 per cent. It also effectively locks in the radioactive plutonium, creating a stable end product.
would be nice for all of us if this holds scrutiny.
