I prefer to research matters rather than idly speculate about what if'a.

I have both notable articles and notable links which I feel compelled to leave as especially important.l When it finally becomes impossible to keep them up I batch the lot and put them up as a separate post on a page listed on my homepage. Mind, that's with articles. With sources - blogs and more - I co post at Delicious and Diigo, with Yahoo and Google Bookmarks waiting should failure occur. And Bookmarking gives one a topical index/tagfile. Not to mention the Community does the same - and have Searchable finds. BTW I am oldephartte on Diigo, opit on Delicious and currently oldephartte.blogspot.ca

BTW You should note that your blog is - as are many other good sites - subject to a warnoff by Web of Trust. I suggest you ask that rating be reviewed.

Climate changes....as do weather patterns. There is a lot of hogwash promoted about humanity's ability to predict and change the future. I had a proper collection of links at opitslinkfest.blogspot.com at a post on climate in contention which is currently unavailable. Even so, a look at the sidebar at oldephartte.blogspot.ca and at http://oldephartte.blogspot.ca/2013/01/opits-notes.html should show there is a lot less to 'scientific consensus' than political pundits and the UN would have you believe.

The BBC is enjoying a scandal where 28 - mostly so-called environmentalists' - managed to spin coverage of the AGW scam. Now, my blog records are not available, but I have been following this story for 3 years now when I finally had a WTF moment about the supposition that man causes climate change. The merest awareness of the nature of scientific method will tell you prophecy is innately unscientific. So I found out what was happening - including people like Denis Rancourt losing positions for speaking out against fraud. Some intel : http://www.prweb.com/releases/prweb2013/1/prweb10308274.htm http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2013/08jan_sunclimate/ http://pielkeclimatesci.wordpress.com/ Why is this happening ? heh The United Nations : Corrupt, Ineffective, Dangerous In each case, the UN hoped to use the "global warming" scam as a .....

LOL As a means of getting news on varied interests I started using RSS aggregators years ago. Several have annoyingly bit the dust - or fallen into disuse such as Bloglines. Google Reader is being pushed hard by Google but I still prefer the Blogger Dashboard - old style - which I literally use as part of a demonstrator of RSS feed results. Netvibes and My Opera Community take a good deal of attention as well. All in all, I try to suggest links of interest and show what current posts are like. Not that YouTube can`t bury one with suggestions in a moment. http://opitslinkfest.blogspot.com/2009/06/opit-online.html

Dubya was 'for' nation building when it meant a clusterfuck. Check out the story of the Fallujah water treatment plant as a sample of progress. Or check out the police showers that electrocuted residents.

This is way late out the gate ... but I got the impression at the time that the Malik Hasan case might well be a frame up to stimulate the Islamofascist meme. The reason being in that case there were original reports of 2 or 3 shooters....and the site of embarkation to Afghanistan tended to have such incidents with some regularity.

Blue Girl Red State would have serious issues that Republicans dominate the ranks of serving officers - and she has reasons to be interested. And the premise of this post is blather from the get go. Yet there are factors affecting opinions of the enlisted which deserve to be aired/investigated. Religious indoctrination and political gamesmanship has gone so far as to include instructor time in training institutions - in Israel too - for known racists. But Islamophobia, religious intolerence, and profiling are all of a piece with the entrenched forces that produce the likes of Glenn Beck. One would not want trained killers to sympathize with their victims. The incidence of remorse and suicide is far too high as it is. Officers are people of superior intellect, even if naive before their blooding. They are likely to investigate dissenting views such as http://www.leadingtowar.com/watch_online.php I contend Valerie Plame/Wilson was most likely outed because she would not go along with the Cheney gang's manufactured intel promoting a toothless old tiger as dangerous when the proof he was not was routinely verified by examining military related installations in the country embargoed against normal trade. Aluminum tubes for processing yellowcake into fertilizer are not that exotic a technology so as to fool anyone who cared for long. No. The military would have been aware of the thrust to destroy Iraq as a nation. All the rest was window dressing around that objective. But what might routinely be said to pundits could be quite different !

I've posted Memorial Day and Remembrance Day - with less precision and enthusiam as time wears on. My father and uncles were veterans...who advised I not enter military service except as a response to invasion and 'for the duration of the emergency' when I had 3 years of cadet training. U.S. law supports that idea...in theory. Doug's Darkworld and Vagabond Scholar both have articles worth noting. http://opitslinkfest.blogspot.com/2012/05/29-may-dougs-darkworld.html A picture is worth a thousand words http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0jMxDE-i8Ys/T8SJhSgoT1I/AAAAAAAAAWo/JGtQ-7BNNuk/s1600/529670_382115418476365_275683962452845_1183759_1506935906_n.jpg

Hydrofracking is a clusterfuck. There is no other term which covers the myriad ways in which it is energy policy gone wrong. Natural gas is neither natural nor safe. Hydrofracking may or may not be directly responsible for groundwater pollution as regards the radioactive toxic brew of secret ingredients used. Irretrievably wrecking the integrity of bedrock to allow leaching of contained materials is another matter entirely. You thought Gasland was over the top, perhaps. I wonder. Check out the Energy and Water files http://opitslinkfest.blogspot.ca/p/topical-index.html

"Less than grateful for our being there" :) I wonder you didn't hurt either tongue or cheek with that one.

Do you know who bin Laden was ? Seriously. I took some time to actually try and figure out some background on a Saudi prince and friend of the Bush family who ended up as a target in the public eye - but was never charged by the FBI - though I confess to an accident of Search sparking my continued interest. Not being able to find a 6'4" man on dialysis in the back of beyond seemed curious when he was hooked up every day to stay alive...unless he wasn't around ( as in deceased ) in the first place. The story gets pretty strange depending on what you choose to believe. I simply note that the people who inspired a webswite exposing their lies - Leading to War - are not credible witnesses in my eyes. And if you should choose to explore linkage between black ops and MI-6, CIA, Muslim Brotherhood and al Qaeda ( Libya and Syria being good places to start ) then you may wonder what the supposed War of Terror is all about. That 'of' isn't a typo. http://opitslinkfest.blogspot.com/2010/08/26-august-oama-who.html

One can crib the economic offense by seeing whose bonds have been downgraded lately by Standard and Poors as well.

I see you're still at it - and still many are scarcely able to see that political positioning is neither sound scientific practice ( though we know there is fake 'science' around in things like drug tests, for instance ) nor that there are possibilities which are wild beyond Republican/Koch wet dreams. When do people address the 'problems' in realistic terms which also recognize that after blowing up over 500 mountaintops to strip mine coal - contaminating the aquifer in the process - there are enough in Appalachia to supply the market at current rates of consumption for less than 3 years ? Does nobody follow what has happened to farming worldwide and the destruction trailing use of Roundup and 'Roundup Ready' seeds ? We have drought cutting of Australian rice supply to the world and fires in both the American West and Australia causing unprecedented damage to homes because the state has forbidden George Bush's little exercise of brush cutting - which makes me wonder if he wasn't experimenting. I can see reports of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse in full gallop, aided by corporate scheming...and you complain that people who are cynical about claims that the future has been read and we are making it hot don't know how to pay attention ? Let me make it simple. We know thieves are in charge. Why do you trust the liars who sent troops into Iraq over ginned up WMD ( leading to war website/movie ) to make right what they made wrong ? The same people. In case you don't internalize the complaint you make about others, I read it like this. Repeating the same actions and expecting different results is impractical and unrealistic. And that is without even addressing that global temperatures do have a trend over geologic time : cooler.Plus the first half of the 20th century was reckoned exceptionally tame by historic standards. BTW Airframes currently in use were designed more for speed than economy. Nor do jets operate with the efficiency of props. Improvements are possible.

This disgusting anti immigrant action should work wonders at drying up completely the supply of agricultural workers who bring the harvest to market. I had posted the story earlier and congratulate you for researching it further.

Antibiotics are routinely fed to meat animals to make them gain weight faster. They enter humans who eat them just fine. Guess what happens next. If you really want scary news about food just Search 'Rumsfeld Monsanto'. As it happens I've been mining news from places like Care2 for a while now and finding out things I'm not sure I want to know. There's also a 'Water' newsgroup under JanforGore at Current TV that branches out into food topics. Aug 13 2009 I made a couple of collections using material supplied by a raw milk advocate and a retired farmer who decided to blog their concerns and linked to an activist community to share input. http://opitslinkfest.blogspot.com I already had plenty wrong with water going through my brain and didn't need more clusterfuck. Got it anyway. http://cowbossatwscc.blogspot.com/2009/05/welcome-to-cowbosss-blog.html http://www.organicfoodee.com/news/2008/12/urbanfarmin/ http://opitslinkfest.blogspot.com/2009/10/health-and-wellness.html http://opitslinkfest.blogspot.com/2009/07/corporate-farming.html

Just wow. I do enjoy your analysis when you 'get it on' and dig out perspective I can't see myself having ever. Not that I disagree : I just don't see myself generating the concepts. But the essentials do slide right into innuendo, pejoratives, racism and more. GOP /Tea Party/Radio Show talk is as good as speaking code to the listeners because the frames of cultural imperatives are being injected. And while I seem to flog my 'Perception Alteration' file in the Topical Index at opitslinkfest.blogspot.com a lot, I did have to have someplace to stash the goodies on DuckSpeak ( Orwellian idea of meanings in language abused so that it becomes meaningless quacking ) and all the other lovelies dealing with linguistic and mental trickery and intellectual fraud or even hypnosis . While there are excerpts more germane to racism and hatemongering in there - including an AlterNet piece by Orwell citing his radio propaganda experiences - I want to show you a piece of 'politically correct' work that shows how manipulated and insideous that can be....no shock. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article21052.htm It really is weird how sometimes I will go from one thread to another that seems totally unrelated topically...and notice it isn't at all dynamically. It's about honesty and open-mindedness even when at first blush that might not seem blindingly obvious. http://motls.blogspot.com/2011/01/bbc-horizon-president-of-royal-society.html BTW Heads up because I would be violating Markos' dictum on the motls piece. I don't bother commenting at Kos - even when a writer deserves it - when Strawman Argumentation and Poisoning the Well tactics override discussion. I see no difference no matter what 'side' it comes from : and I am talking 'climate debate' from the perspective of somebody appalled by the way we are literally killing ourselves by our economic choices...and still am not ready to accept the New World Order as the Benevolent Society.

Article 49 of Fourth Geneva Convention prohibits the deportation of people into or out of occupied territory under belligerent military occupation: “Individual or mass forcible transfers, as well as deportations of protected persons from occupied territory to the territory of the Occupying Power or to that of any other country, occupied or not, are prohibited, regardless of their motive. … The Occupying Power shall not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies.” Palestinians condemn US plan to settle refugees in South America http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/jan/25/palestine-papers-refugees-south-america You can see where it would be easy to be unsympathetic to Israel.

U.S. Canadian and International laws declares the United States government is guilty of war crimes. http://presscore.ca/2011/?p=1006 International Criminal Court launches Afghan detainee torture investigation of Harper government http://presscore.ca/2011/?p=880 Harper BTW is 'Mini Me Bush' from north of the 49th Why weren't Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld etc. ad infinitum charged ? A few reasons. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Servicemembers%27_Protection_Act http://www.aclu.org/national-security/military-commissions-act-2006 http://www.amicc.org/usinfo/administration_policy_BIAs.html Not to mention that since the whole U.S. Congress had certified they would collectively defuse prosecution they were all War Criminals. Just a thought.

Reg Succeeding. If that is so, perhaps you'll point me to your support. I still haven't found a frank admission of what the objectives are...except perhaps from the PNAC. Karzai "very serious" on ending air raids: official http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE54A12420090511 And not only are the multiplied 3 times lately Predator strikes unpopular, mercenaries aren't in good odour either Karzai Said What? http://motherjones.com/politics/2009/11/karzai-contractor-ban-obama-afghanistan Shall I start digging into things like Depleted Uranium munitions to show that there is only one likely result of the current program - a complete wasteland ?
