Slip: Mauricio Fernandez announced during his swearing in ceremony as mayor of San Pedro Garza Garcia that his main rival had been found dead
A Mexican mayor has sparked fury by announcing the death of a notorious drugs baron - hours before the body was found and two days before it was identified.
Aristotle would define virtue (arete) as excellence in fulfillment of a particular function.
Virtue is something we can achieve, but the people that care nothing for excellence will never find it. If we wish to make change in the world, we must first make changes within ourselves. Virtue brings out the best in others. If you can personify excellence, you can change the world.
We need to rise up and set the example of how a human being ought to behave–make such a bold… Continue

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. government guaranteed as much as $4.3 trillion in financial assets last year, making such backstops the biggest and riskiest part of Washington's response to the financial crisis, a bailout watchdog panel said on Friday.
The Congressional Oversight Panel said in its latest monthly report that the asset guarantees from the U.S. Treasury, the Federal Reserve and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp helped calm panic in financial… Continue

This is a fascinating lecture by a former UK diplomat. As far as I can see he really has no reason to lie so I feel confident the lecture provides a true perspective. Pretty hideous stuff here.…
According to independent reports, since August 2008 alone, around 70 cross-border predator strikes carried out by American drones have resulted in the death of 687 Pakistani civilians.
12 American soldiers were killed yesterday in Texas.
What's the difference?
Innocent dead people are still dead. Is an American life more valuable than a Pakistani?
I think for the NWO that neither life has value on the chessboard they play on.

Fox News is using retired military officers surrounded by uniformed active duty troops in an attempt to derail debate on disengagement in Afghanistan. After 8 years, the US is heading the same way Russia did, the more troops we send, the more die. Absolutely nothing has been accomplished in 8 years in Afghanistan other than to start a major war in Pakistan too. I understand Fox News. They are controlled by the powerful Israeli spokeman,… Continue

I had nothing better to do the other day and was browsing through some blogs and some news stories. I was surprised to see so many people still vehemently arguing about the reality of climate change and insisting that something needs to be done about it. Many pointed to this graph and that graph, this scientist and… Continue

WASHINGTON -- A Senate committee cleared its version of a climate and energy bill, despite a Republican boycott of the vote and a "no" from powerful Montana Democrat Max Baucus.
The Senate Environment and Public Works Committee's 11-1 vote to approve the climate proposal may have little long term significance in shaping the final bill. Negotiations to shape a Senate climate bill have already… Continue

The warlords we champion in Afghanistan are as venal, as opposed to the rights of women and basic democratic freedoms, and as heavily involved in opium trafficking as the Taliban. The moral lines we draw between us and our adversaries are fictional. The uplifting narratives used to justify the war in Afghanistan are pathetic attempts to redeem acts of senseless brutality. War cannot be waged to instill any virtue, including democracy or the liberation of women. War… Continue
