U.N. Climate Panel Admits Dutch Sea Level Flaw

The U.N. panel of climate experts overstated how much of the Netherlands is below sea level, according to a preliminary report on Saturday, admitting yet another flaw after a row last month over Himalayan glacier melt.

Reuters Feb 13 2010

A background note by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) said a 2007 report wrongly stated that 55 percent of the country was below sea level since the figure… Continue

Texas; Perry v. Hutchison

Rick Perry made a commitment towards a 10th Amendment move away from Federal dominance of Texas and Texans.
Kay Bailey Hutchison has refused to act on a NOTICE that I sent to her regarding the unlawful imprisonment of Texan, Cirino Gonzalez (after he stood to prevent another Waco 1993 incident).
I have documentation supporting my claim.

Civilian Casualties "Inevitable" in Largest Military Operation of the Afghanistan War

Military officials say that civilian casualties are "inevitable" as U.S. and allied forces launch Operation Moshtarak, the largest military action since the U.S-led invasion of Afghanistan in 2001. Thanks in part to conflicting messages from ISAF and in part due to some residents' inability to flee, many civilians remain in Marjah. Statements from Brig. Gen. Nicholson, commander of the operation, indicate that he feels he has leeway to use airstrikes in…

Bribing The Taliban

Our military leaders are psychopaths and that's apparent. We're responsible, especially those of us that are my age, because over the past 25 years while we were members of the voting and potentially politically active public we went to sleep and allowed these circumstances to come to fruition. Sadly, I'm one of those people. I spent most of my life figuring the government would protect my liberties. What a mistake. We need to end the wars, in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq,… Continue

The crisis in Spain So hard to bend Rigidities in the labour market make recovery even harder

EVERY member of the eurozone has weaknesses that limit its potential. Spain seems to contain a continent’s-worth of frailties in just one country. Like Ireland, its consumers are weighed down by huge mortgage debts. Spain has a rigid system for setting wages, also a source of inefficiency in Greece and Portugal. The attempt to free up Spain’s jobs market by allowing temporary work contracts has reduced incentives to train workers, holding back productivity. That is true also of Italy. And, like… Continue

A Warning To The Tea Party Nation

A Warning To The Tea Party Nation

by Chuck Baldwin

February 12, 2010

As far as grassroots activism goes, the surge in Tea Parties across America is one of the more encouraging developments to recently take place. It reminds me of the "Conservative Revolution" of 1994, when the GOP reclaimed both the US Senate and House of Representatives. At that time, it had been over 40 years since the Republican Party controlled both…

Florida Snow Could Mean Snow in All 50 States at Once

There could be snow on the ground in all 50 states simultaneously by the end of the week in what would be a weather oddity.

KOTV reports Patrick Marsh, a student employee at the NOAA's National Severe Storms Laboratory in Norman, Oklahoma, is currently trying to collect photos of snow on the ground in all 50 states.

Marsh says Florida is the only state without snow on the ground at this point, but he said two to four inches of snow is forecast today…
