A newer interview with RT at Liberty Park... 10/11/11

ELENIN ALIGNMENT DISINFO FAIL!!! What's next?

phhhhhht! (horse fart)

Over the last 48 hours I've spent as much time as possible at Sea Level straddling California's infamous San Andreas Fault just to spite the DISINFO TROLLZ behind the whole "Comet Elenin Alignment, Mega Earthquake/Tsunami, Earth Splits Open and Swallows Everyone Except the Bunker Bound Zillionaires" shhhhhpeel because both you and I know that's a crock of shit.


Sure, we may get hit by any number of natural disasters, but what's the point in worrying about something so completely beyond your control that it's inconsequential whether you're aware of it at all?


All the CHATTER about mega disasters
and aliens
and polar shifts
and planetary alignments
and solar flares
and the Chinese Taliban coming to take your Baby away is just distracting people from the one aspect of our predicament that we can actually do something about.


I speak of the utterly corrupt and fundamentally flawed economic system which we've all been trapped within since the Creature from Jekyll Island was born in 1913.

0fficer Bologna

Utterly corrupt?  Sure, the Über-wealthy CorpoGov Banksters are currently above the law!
They can create money out of thin air.
They control the political process.
They blatantly manipulate financial markets with no fear of legal retribution.
They control the media and have been caught recently censoring dissenters.
They can literally get away with murder.
And if you try to do something about it they'll beat your ass and throw you in jail.

Exhibit R: NYPD Deputy Inspector Anthony Bologna pepper spraying innocent, compliant young women at #OccupyWallStreet.


Fundamentally flawed?  Absolutely.  See the upper left hand column of this blog for this position's support.

Why do you think we're fighting so many goddamn wars while drilling for oil in the most difficult and dangerous places on the planet.  I rest my case.


The ONLY painful, impending, and devastatingly deadly predicament we can do something about is the COLLAPSE of the Global Economy due to simple economic fundamentals, inconceivable corruption, and mass psychosis.


Need a refresher course in REALITY?  Here you go.  Humanity's Current Predicament 101:


EMBED MOVIE "COLLAPSE"


Well, shit, I can't seem to find a single copy of Collapse for free online.  That's funny, because the Producer who holds all the rights to that movie stopped fighting Piracy of Collapse over a year ago.  No one from his operation is complaining, yet countless copies have been taken down over the last months.


The few YouTube videos pretending to offer an outside link to the film Collapse are blatantly sketchy... shortened links to strange dead ends.  Anywhere, here's the trailer...



The problem is a fundamental disconnect between our collective consciousness and reality.  We thought we could have our cake and eat it too.  We became a CANCER upon this beautiful, life-giving planet.

Our changeable predicament is rooted entirely in our unwavering belief in INFINITE GROWTH ECONOMICS despite the all-too-real natural limits of the planet.

Want to know who the high priests of this bassackwards, cancerous, indeed suicidal religion are?

Want to know what you can do about it?

Here you go...

Colbert Report Interview: James Howard Kunstler on Resource Depletion and Supply Chain Management

I can't believe today is the first I've heard of this brilliant 2008 interview on the Colbert Report.

I guess that's because while oil hit $147 a barrel and gasoline hit $5 a gallon here in the USA, I was lounging in paradise after fleeing the imploding economy.

Perhaps you should consider doing the same now that it's the Fall of 2011 and we're going off a much bigger cliff this time.

9/21/11: Typhoon Roke Passing Over Fukushima Nuclear Meltdown Sites Now

The Fukushima nuclear power plants -- which suffered multiple core meltdowns and major radiation emissions after the March 11th earthquake/tsunami -- are currently being battered by Typhoon Roke.  The damaged nuclear plants are located on the coast just SE of the city of Fukushima visible on the map above.

Note that the storm already passed  over Tokyo as well.

The storm was forecast to cause serious flooding and moderate wind damage throughout much of Japan.  Over 1 million people were evacuated and there have been at least 4 deaths attributed to the storm already.  There is a legitimate concern that the storm could cause the badly damaged Building 4 at Fukushima to fall over, spilling a large spent fuel rod pool onto the open ground.


More coverage from RSOE EDIS:

Tropical Storm in Japan on Wednesday, 21 September, 2011 at 05:05 (05:05 AM) UTC.

Description

A powerful typhoon looming down on disaster-ravaged Japan has killed at least four people, authorities said Wednesday, less than a month after a vicious storm left 100 dead. More than a million people have been warned to leave their homes over fears that the torrential rains Typhoon Roke is expected to bring will cause widespread flooding. Four people have been found dead in central and western Japan, while two people are missing in Gifu prefecture, including a young boy who disappeared on his way home from primary school. Evacuation advisories have been issued to a total of 1.14 million people nationwide, according to broadcaster NHK. It was not clear how many had followed the advice, which falls short of mandatory evacuation orders. Auto giant Toyota said it was temporarily shutting 11 of its 15 Japanese plants, which lie in the path of the approaching storm. "The second (afternoon) shift is stopped. (It is) not resuming today. No decision has been made for tomorrow," company spokesman Dion Corbert said. The affected plants are all in Aichi prefecture in central Japan. Roke is expected to heap more misery on a country that has suffered badly under the yoke of nature this year. The huge earthquake and tsunami of March 11 left 20,000 people dead or missing and devastated hundreds of kilometres (miles) of coastline, destroying whole communities and wreaking billions of dollars of damage. The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant was sent into meltdown after its cooling systems were swamped by the waves, sending radiation into the air, sea and food chain in the planet's worst atomic disaster since Chernobyl. Earlier this month Typhoon Talas slammed into central Japan, killing around 100 people in the deadliest storm to hit the country for over 30 years. Heavy downpours caused flash flooding and massive landslides that swept away buildings and people. By Wednesday morning, Typhoon Roke was off the Kii Peninsula in central Wakayama prefecture. It was expected to make landfall in the Kanto area in the afternoon before moving northeast, possibly towards the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant where workers are still battling to control persistent radiation leaks. "The typhoon will move north at high speed," a Japan Meteorological Agency official told a news conference, warning of damage and impact on transportation systems. The typhoon has already brought torrential rain and some flooding, with TV footage showing residents walking through streets knee-deep in water. A number of expressways have been closed, while more than 200 flights are to be cancelled for Wednesday, according to NHK. In the city of Nagoya, a regional commercial hub located near the home of Toyota Motor, about 380,000 households remained under evacuation advisories, media reports said. Nagoya mayor Takashi Kawamura warned: "Please follow evacuation advisories as soon as possible in order to prevent people from falling victims."

Yahoo Admits Censoring #OccupyWallStreet Protest Emails. Meanwhile, the Big Media Blackout Continues...

Yahoo mail users attempting to send messages about the peaceful "Occupy Wall Street" protests in Manhattan have found that impossible to do.

Messages mentioning the Wall Street protests or containing links to protest coverage were labeled SPAM and could not be sent, whereas messages mentioning Tea Party protests transmitted normally.

In my line of work I have experienced similar backdoor censorship tactics several times.  At times when "controversial" news was breaking -- Fukushima Nuclear Meltdown, Fort Calhoun Nuke Plant Flooding, Los Alamos Nuclear Lab Wildfires, etc. -- I have encountered "glitches" where I could not post to Twitter, could not send or receive email, could not access or modify my websites, etc.  Suprisingly, Facebook has always been good to me.

Regarding Yahoo's recent BS, watch this video and see for yourself...

Keith Olbermann, one of several mainstream commentators who are falling from the Corporate Flock, is one of few people reporting on the occupation and the media blackout surrounding it.

Category II-IV Typhoon Roke Clobbering Japan! One Million Evacuated! Fukushima In The Crosshairs!

More torrential rain.  More flooding.  More damaging winds.  And both Tokyo and Fukushima are in the crosshairs of massive Typhoon Roke.

Typhoon Roke has been graded Category IV but is expected (hopefully) to be a weaker Category II storm when it makes landfall. It is a fast storm, currently traveling 34knots/65kmph NNE (through a large swath of Japan) .

After March's earthquake/tsunami/meltdown Japan has seen several large storms this year with record rainfall and severe flooding.

Out hearts go out to the people of Japan, once again.

A Giant Typhoon Is Headed for Japan's Ruined Fukushima Nuke Plant - Gizmodo

by Sam Biddle 6 hours ago – Although Fukushima's wrecked reactors aren't melting down any longer, the entire complex is clogged with extremely radioactive water.

Japan Typhoon Warnings | COLLAPSENET

As of Wednesday morning at 0900 (PDT) the storm is clearly on track to strike Fukushima. It may weaken to Tropical Storm but right now it's the equivalent of a Cat 3 hurricane and very wet. Immediate hazards are to the cooling pool with spent rods at the badly damaged Reactor #4 and the potential for dispersal of large amounts of radiation due to runoff. This will merit close watch throughout the day. -- MCR

Memphis Math Teacher Ordered to Destroy His Thriving Urban Garden

Student Beekeepers Awaiting Adam's Supervision

As if the insane war on relocalization and self-sufficiency couldn't get more overt, another debacle is unfolding in Memphis, Tennessee.

Just weeks after a SWAT Team raided RAWESOME Food Coop in Los Angeles, and a Michigan woman faced 93 days in jail for gardening, now a Memphis math teacher has been ordered to dismantle his personal garden.

The teachers name is Adam Guerrero, and the tidy garden is located in the yard of his own home.  He works the land with a team of student volunteers.  They practice vermiculture gardening and keep bees.

Guerrero has been fined under ordinances related to "public health, safety or welfare" for using his spare time to tend a garden and keep bees (beekeeping is legal in Memphis) with the help of volunteer students he has taken under his wing.

As you can see in the photo below, most of Adam's Garden is in the back yard and the small plot in the front where he's growing vegetables looks about like any small urban home.  If there's any safety hazard, it's that trash can sitting near the sidewalk.  I'd say if Adam wheels that unsightly thing around back the front yard no longer constitutes a threat to "public health, safety, or welfare."

What do you think?

Lots of other info about this situation is available in the Treehugger article.

If you'd like to support Adam Guerrero and his students, get to know him better via the Save Adam Guererro's Garden! Facebook Page.

NYPD Attacks Peaceful Wall Street Protesters (Video)

The Peaceful Protesters on Wall Street in NYC have one simple demand:

*LET THE FAILING BANKS FAIL, and BAIL OUT SUFFERING PEOPLE INSTEAD.

When it began to rain the Peaceful Protesters attempted to cover sensitive electronics (computers, cameras, etc.) with a low-profile, unsuspended tarp.

That was the "offense" which prompted this VIOLENT response from NYPD.

NYPD has had Wall Street itself blocked off since before the protests began.  Officers have been hounding and intimidating these Peaceful Protesters since day one.



Video from AmpedStatus.org

The opening scenes of the video where police violently grab and throw a Peaceful Protester appears to have taken place in this area of Liberty Park.  The man appears to be sitting between these tables amidst a pile of gear covered with tarps.  Innocent people's computers were certainly destroyed when NYPD took things way beyond where they needed to go.

Do these look like criminals to you?
