Pope Francis met with media (Photo credit: Catholic Church (England and Wales))Pope Francis named Person of the Year by Time Magazine
*Can you smell what The Pope is cooking?*
Pope Francis is an excellent politician, and a great spiritual teacher. He
became a good pope the moment he chose the name Francis. The fact that he
is unnerving so many people means he is doing a good job at breaking
ideological, social, political, and cultural barriers.
Here is an excerpt from, *"Pope Francis Is Not Liberal Or Conservative: He
is Prophetic"* by Tom Krattenmaker:
Prophetic is probably the best word for the role the pope is playing -- not
in the sense of predicting the future, but of standing outside of business

*Changing Course design competition picks world’s best brains on how to
restore Louisiana coast ~Bob Marshall, The Lens*
Who really killed JFK and, if a conspiracy, who were they and what were their motives? The Assassination Records Review Board has kept secret 1,100 records that, according to the Associated Press, was claimed to be withheld from the American public because they contain “information about confidential sources or methods or have national security complications.” But 50 years after the fact those confidential sources are mostly dead, and the methods and “national security complications” of that period have nothing in common with today’s national security. Indeed, on April 27, 1961, JFK himself told the press corps that “…there is little value in insuring the survival of our nation if our traditions do not survive with it. And there is very grave danger that an announced need for increased security will be seized upon by those anxious to expand its meaning to the very limits of official censorship and concealment…”

Pope Francis strikes me as a very good guy. He has seen the Pope on the
wrong side of history for a lifetime. We all love Pope John Paul because he
fought communism, but he did not step into the ring when the capitalist
took hope away.
So it will be interesting to see how revolution Catholicism plays in the
mainstream. Nevertheless I salute the Pope for being so Christian.
VISIONS OF PISA: Ravitch buys into the cult!
*WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 11, 2013*
*Part 3—A deeply flawed trumpeter:* Routinely, reading Diane Ravitch is an
extremely large challenge.
Yesterday afternoon, then again this morning, we disappeared to favorite
nooks to reread parts of her new book, Reign of Error.
Along with Amanda Ripley’s much more ballyhooed groaner, Reign of Error is
one of our two current “big education books.” But as a writer, Ravitch
tends to be extremely jumbled. For a world-class example, see below.
That said, Ravitch also tends to be excessively partisan, whichever side of
whatever fight she happens to be o... more »
Project Coast and The South African Ethnic Weapons Program: F.W. DeKlerk Interview
*When and how did you learn about South Africa's chemical and biological
warfare program?*
I was briefed shortly after I became president, by the surgeon general, who
was then heading the program ... a man in whose integrity I still have the
highest faith. The briefing essentially said that the program was aimed at
developing our defensive capability against chemical warfare ... I was told
that we had reached the stage where we could start to wind down the
program, to privatize the front companies that were involved ... and I
authorized that. I said that's the direction we should... more »
The Pain Consensus
Prosperity for the ruling class, austerity for the rest of you. So declared
the two right wings of the Money Party yesterday as they rolled out a
budget agreement that made a mockery of President Obama's recent vow to
make alleviating the scourge of record wealth inequality the overriding
issue of his second term.
A deal which passive-aggressively condemns more than a million chronically
unemployed Americans to lives of destitution while it restores most of the
Pentagon sequester cuts actually won praise from the fiscally conservative

Attempted Reconciliation Between Iraq’s Anbar And Central Government Take One Step Forward Two Steps Back
Since October 2013, the Mutahidun party that runs Anbar has tried to
negotiate with Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki to put an end to the protests
in the province. There have been several meetings between officials in
Baghdad and Anbar over the last several weeks to try to work out some
concessions between the two that might appease the demonstrators. Both
sides are worried about the increasing terrorist threat in Anbar, and
Mutahidun would also like to focus upon governance that would require the
cooperation of Baghdad. As those steps were being taken however, the
protesters said ... more »

May 08, 1988|By R. Bruce Dold.
Steve Cokely was a crisis waiting to happen.

Bipartisan Budget Deal reached in the House ! Short summary --The mini-bargain — the "Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013" — sets discretionary spending levels a little above $1 trillion for the next two years, while repealing and replacing some cuts of sequestration. In fiscal year 2014, spending is set at $1.012 trillion, which sits about halfway between the proposed levels of the House and Senate budgets. The legislation provides $63 billion in sequester relief over two years, which is split evenly between defense and non-defense programs. This is offset by other cuts in the budget. Ryan and Murray said that the deal reduces the deficit between $20 million and $23 million. No extension of unemployment benefits for workers unemployed more than 26 weeks means 1.3 million Americans lose benefits come December 28 , 2013 ( Merry Christmas sheeple ! ) ....Perversely , this will rsult in alleged unemployment falling ( Hello taper - if not shortly , what will be the next excuse ? )

matters that may be quizzically in the forefront of your mind.
Okedokey. It came to me that many people are attuned to different things
and dare I say different Truths regarding the Ascension and The Event. Yet
each one is of good intent I am sure ... and therefore coming from 'their
Truth'. Yet surely someone / some channels have to be wrong? I mean it
could even be you! For instance ... either ... more »

Killzone: Shadow Fall for the Playstation 4
Back in the olden days when hair was long and loading times were even
longer, you could more or less divide video games into two broad and not
entirely discrete types. In one corner were the fast-paced action-oriented
games. They looked nothing like the arcade games of the early-mid 80s, but
their ethic of playability owed more than a passing acquaintance to them.
Glaring at them from the other end of the market were the more cerebral
games. The proper chin-strokers. These were your adventure/role-playing
games, and given their sedentary pace I'd say you can place early strategy

Protecting Social Security Does Not Mean Defending The Status Quo-- Guest Post From Shenna Bellows (D-ME)
That brand new video above is a bit of a biography of the candidate Blue
America endorsed for the Maine Senate seat, Shenna Bellows. She's running
against Susan Collins, a DC-oriented career-politician who is often
mischaracterized by the media as a "moderate." And while she may be

politician. And she consistently votes with Cruz and Sessions over 90% of
the time. As Ranking Member of the Senate Special Committee on Aging,

GOP hypocrites hate handshakes
President Obama had the audacity to shake the hand of a world leader at
Mandela's funeral. Before the internet was invented, we used to call this
good manners. Some might even have called it responsible statesmanship. But
the world leader in question was Raul Castro standing in for his brother
Fidel. So of course GOPers immediately launched themselves onto the
fainting couches, demanding smelling salts.
Maybe somebody gave them bath salts instead, because this reaction from
Senator Grumpy Gramps was batshit crazy.
When asked if Obama should have extended his hand, McCain was quick... more »
