Auckland Mayor Len Brown reckons his “liveable Auckland” should follow the
model of Vancouver, Canada—which he describes as "best practice urban
planning."
[image: Crack Shack or Mansion]You can see why it’s a model for Lying Len:
Vancouver is a city whose average house prices are a whopping nine times
average income, making it amongst the most unaffordable city in the
English-speaking world—and making it damned hard to tell the difference
between a mansion and a crack shack. See.

Why The National Organization For Women Endorsed Rush Holt
Tuesday is election day in New Jersey-- not the general election, which is
in November, but the special election primary for the open Senate seat.
Wall Street has been successful in creating the conventional wisdom that
their puppet, Cory Booker, can't be stopped. But a late summer special
election primary is really about turning out voters more than anything
else. Cory Booker may be a TV celebrity but he has a putrid record of
failure and a sleazy relationship with Big Business special interests.
That's why I was so buoyed to see the National Organization for Women

Stephen Plant - Simone Weil
*"Waiting For God" by Simone Weil.*
*Wikipedia: *
Simone Weil (3 February 1909 – 24 August 1943) was a French philosopher,
Christian mystic, and political activist.
Weil's life was marked by an exceptional compassion for the suffering of
others; at the age of six, for instance, she refused to eat sugar after she
heard that soldiers fighting in World War I had to go without. She died
from tuberculosis during World War II, possibly exacerbated by malnutrition
after refusing to eat more than the minimal rations that she believed were
available to soldiers at the time.

"The Consequences of Fear"

*"The Consequences of Fear" *
by May’s Closet
"* *Worry* is a mechanism of our psyche that prompts us to do something.
The prompting energy is fear – usually fear of some consequence. Because it
is fear, the person tends to avoid thinking about it. Thus worry tends to
perpetuate itself in a circular way – the fear causes non-action, and
non-action further causes worry.
* *Anxiety* is a fear whose object is nonspecific or vague, whereas worry
is about something specific and identified. Anxiety is the result of
repeated unprocessed fears that have accumulated in one’s subconsc... more »

New Day Dawning In War-Ravaged Mali Today? I'd Wait Before Buying A Ticket To Timbuktu
A Muslim Keita dynasty ruled Mali from 1235 until the Empire collapsed with
the death of Mahmud IV in 1610. As a stamp collector in my teenage days I
recall a Keita ruling Mali when it first gained independence in 1960. That
was Modibo Keita and I don't think he was part of the royal lineage. In
fact, he was a socialist. In 1968 he was overthrown in a military coup and
imprisoned, where he died 9 years later.
And that brings us to Ibrahim Boubacar Keita-- IBK-- who is about to become
the new Malian president. He was Prime Minister from 1994-2000 and and
President of the National ... more »

Did a Whistleblower Stop a Terror Attack in Austin?

*A memo warning law enforcement of a possible terror attack at specific

KXAN reported that the threat advisory warning law enforcement of a

When Canadians learn that malnourished aboriginal children were used for nutritional

9/11 in the Academic Community
[image: Related Posts Plugin for WordPress, Blogger...]
*Youtube*
A Winner of the 2011 University of Toronto Film Festival, the film examines
the academic community's treatment of critical perspectives on 9/11 by
exploring the taboo that shields the American government's narrative from
scholarly examination. Through a powerful reflection on intellectual
courage and the purpose of academia, the film aims at changing intellectual
discourse on 9/11 and the War on Terror.

Talking of the BBC's Australian election coverage, a search of the BBC News
website brings up the first tranche of articles.
The coverage began with two articles on 4 August, when Kevin Rudd called
the election: *'Australian PM Kevin Rudd calls election for 7 September' *
and *'Australian election call: Voters react'*.
The following day saw four articles - *'Australia election campaign kicks
off'* and a video report, plus two profiles - one of Tony Abbott and one of
Kevin Rudd.
That's as you would expect. Then the BBC's biases begin to creep in.

Fat-Free Econ 45: Newton's Laws of Motion and Traffic Congestion
* This is my article yesterday in interaksyon.com.

British physicist and mathematician, Sir Isaac Newton (1642-1727) was known
for his contributions to classical mechanics and physics. His famous
theory, which I remember from high school, is the so-called “Newton’s Laws
of Motion.”
Having done research on various social and economic issues for many years,
it dawned upon me that Newton’s three laws can be applied to society as
well, especially on how the government attempts to solve the daily traffic
congestion in Metro Manila and other big cities in the country.

'Yahad-In Unum's research so far indicates that 1 million Jews "from Poland
to Ossetia" were shot dead and laid in mass graves, many of whom were
unaccounted for in previous Holocaust research.
"A whole part of the genocide has not been declared," Desbois told The
Times of Israel. "The challenge is to collect the maximum amount of
evidence about the killing of the Jews in these countries and find out
about the mass graves. Tomorrow the witnesses will disappear and the
