Did You Notice...?

[That the story of...]  Polluters Talk, We Walk
Was Not Reported By The ABC, CNBC, CBS, FOX, CNN, Or PBS 'News' sites.
by CommonDreams.org - November 11, 2013

“A day after over 130 poor countries walked out of UN climate talks in Warsaw to protest the lack of progress, about 800 members of environmental groups staged their first ever mass walkout, charging the talks - held in conjunction with a coal summit and infused with corporate sponsorship - have “put the interests of dirty energy industries over that of global citizens.”  Wearing t-shirts reading “Volveremos” (We Will Return) members of Greenpeace, 350.org, WWF, Oxfam and other groups said the move was “not about giving up, (but) taking the struggle to a different level.””

As always with CommonDreams.org, this article is a damn good read, and an
excellent perspective of our shared Pax Americana reality.  Have you noticed
how many articles I link from CommonDreams.org?  It’s because they do an
excellent job of allowing truth to be authority, rather than like FOX,
where authority is manipulatively displayed as truth.

And at sites like Alternet.org, TomDisparch, Democracy Now!, et al, the “Comments”
section is quite often as enlightening as the article itself, sometimes even more so.

Scariest Article of the Month. . .

Almost Two-Thirds of 18-29 Year Olds Believe in “Demon Possession”
What Is Happening to America?
by Bruce Wilson - October 30, 2013

“Aren’t those fringe beliefs?  Not really.  Not any more.

The outgoing Chair of the House Science Committee thinks global warming is a massive hoax perpetrated by scientists, to get funding, and claims humans can’t influence the weather, stating in 2011, “I don’t think we can control what God controls.”

A current Science Committee member thinks humans and dinosaurs cohabited the Earth and declares the Big Bang, evolution, and the science of embryology to be “lies straight from the pit of hell”.

Isn’t this just a case of a few misguided Republicans who somehow slipped through the cracks?  [Scary answer; No.]”
