Title: Breaking news: New oil sheen near site of Deepwater Horizon disaster Source: Stuart H. Smith Date: Oct 3 2012
[...]
Experts had predicted such oil leaks would likely take place after the Deepwater Horizon rig was capped. Thats because the blocked oil continues to seek a path to the surface, and that could create fissures or cracks in the sea floor for the hydrocarbons to escape. This situation is exactly what wed warned about in 2010 that the rig diaster, caused by BPs reckless and foolish actions, would continue to wreak havoc on the Gulf environment for years to come.
"Title: In the tank? Feds scrub incident report about Gulf spill near BP rig Source: Stuart H. Smith Date: Oct 4 2012
[...]
Heres what the initial report from NOAAs Office of Response and Restoration said:
This hotline is being started for new reports of sheen of unknown origin in and near lease block Mississippi Canyon 252. This incident is likely related to reports in August 2011 (See incident #8345, Aug2011). Although the source of these sheens may be the wrecked BP Macondo Well, this relationship has not been established at this time. Activities include daily overflights sponsored by BP, with USCG or NOAA observers on board intermitently. BP is sending a vessel to the area with an ROV to investigate the potential source.
However, that report is no longer on the web site as of last night. Instead, this is what visitors see instead:
Incident #8510 does not exist, has been deleted, or you do not have permission to view it.
[...]
On one level, this is simply stunning. On the other hand, its in many ways typical of the way that the federal government has acted since Day One of the Deepwater Horizon disaster
[...]
It also may be a sign that the new oil spill at the Macondo site is more serious than the feds want to let on. Since breaking the news yesterday about NOAAs original incident report, Ive been investigating tips that vessels loaded with absorbent booms have been observed recently leaving the Breton Sound marine terminal at Hopedale, and that numerous fishermen who work the waters around the Macondo field have reported fresh sightings of the oil sheen.
And That's only the First Decision of Many to come.
[quote] October 04, 2012 "Information Clearing House" - No matter whether Obama or Romney wins the coming presidential election, American working people will face a savage assault on their economic rights starting after the vote. The asset stripper Romney and his sidekick Ryan have openly demanded the shredding of the existing social safety net, while channeling the proceeds to parasitical bankers and hedge fund operators. Obama, using his usual method of deception, has signaled more discreetly his intention of using the hysteria around the alleged Fiscal Cliff to seal a Grand Bargain with the reactionary Republicans at the expense of the American people during the December lame duck session of Congress.
Austerity and Sacrifice Spell Genocide Against Americans [b] In reality, any demand for more austerity, sacrifice, or cuts in social services on the part of the American people amounts to a demand for genocide[/b] a Nuremberg crime. Real unemployment is now in excess of 30 million people in the United States .
Over 50 million people are in the most extreme poverty, with no job, no unemployment benefits, no welfare system, no health care, and only a meager allotment of food stamps to stay alive.
And Republicans and Democrats agree that food stamps will be next to go! Other families are facing foreclosures by corrupt robo-judges and robo-signers, as the American middle class is crushed under $1 trillion of student loan debt and $1 trillion of high interest credit card debt. All of this follows a secular decline of almost two thirds in the American standard of living over the last four decades. [/quote]

That, of course, is ludicrous. You can see the tabs at the link. Scroll down to page 11. This goes way beyond sampling error. Way, way beyond.

The Latest NBC poll had Black Romney supporters at ZERO.
"Sadly, the American media has reached the point where it has no more credibility than did Pravda in the old Soviet Union. The difference is that I would bet that many of Russians KNEW that the information they were getting was pure bullshit, whereas you cannot say the same thing about the average American today.
Bonus: "The powers that be...They like a tough game...No rules"
Gail Tverberg: I see the future as fairly bleak. The big issue is the way high oil prices affect the economy, leading to recession, joblessness, and huge government deficits. The issue is really a lack of cheap oil.
This is an issue that cant be expected to go away, even with new (high priced) oil supply in the US, or with the possibility of more natural gas supply. We are right now experiencing adverse financial impacts from high oil prices, but these impacts are being disguised by artificially low interest rates and huge amounts of deficit spending.
I find it hard to see much of a ray of hope for avoiding some kind of discontinuity, because the problem seems to be already at hand. For example, I see Europes current financial problems and the USs fiscal cliff as being a direct result of lower energy affordability, especially oil, in recent years."
"It appears to me that we are now hitting some version of Limits to Growth. Most economists havent figured out the connection between the economy and the natural world, so are oblivious to our current predicament."
The only really profitable way to produce eggs and fried chicken is to do it on a very small, not-for-profit scale. The hen is a distributist. Distributism is an economic philosophy that gained much attention a century ago and is now drawing attention again. It champions the decentralization of the means of production into small, privately owned enterprises, not owned or run by the state or private wealthy oligarchs. It is neither capitalistic nor socialistic. It is chickenistic.
Not only was the WTC apparently designed by a servant of the bin Ladens and named for the Gladioists who killed Kennedy, it was provided with electronic security by a company based in Kuwait and largely owned by Marvin Bush, the President's brother.
You see, money goes both ways. Not only does known terrorist financier and one-time major investor in the Bank of Cocaine and Crooks International Khalid bin Mahfouz have a history as an investor in Bush businesses, specifically Dubya's Harken energy,
but the Bush family can also invest in Arab businesses. I hope the rumours about bin Mahfouz being ObL's half brother aren't true, or this could start to look sinister. Incriminating, one could almost say. At least it was quite a successful investment, unlike any investment in a company run by Dubya, in that this Kuwaiti company was successful enough to run the electronic security on 9/11 for not only the World Trade Centre,
but also for Dulles International Airport and for United Airlines, whose flight 11 was one of those to hit the World Trade Centre. Similar to the Israeli companies running CCTV on the targets of 7/7, which was found to have completely failed at Kings Cross only during the time the "bombers" were passing through, and which had failed on the underground and on both buses taken by the alleged bus bomber."
It would be like Tunisia, Egypt and Syria, and, of course, that has not come true.
Instead of having the good sense to cut his losses and pull back, Erdogan is doubling down. Hes doing double-or-nothing; vabonk, as we say. Hes now gotten himself into this really terrible fix which, of course, could be potentially tragic for the world.
The idea that youre going to interfere with a Russian cargo on a Syrian commercial airliner is really outside of the normal realm, and it makes Erdogan look like an unstable, erratic, mercurial kind of leader and not at all what he wanted to be.
Now, of course, hes got a diplomatic row with Russia. The Russian foreign minister has called in the Turkish ambassador. Theyve demanded explanations. Thats a pretty tense scene going on there.
The plane was carrying a cargo sent by a legal Russian supplier in a legal way to a legal customer. This cargo included electrical equipment for a radar station, dual purpose equipment not prohibited by international conventions. Cargo documents have been fully issued in line with standard requirements.
Its absolutely normal practice to transport this kind of cargo on civilian planes, and this is confirmed by the fact that *even before* the Syrian airplane entered Turkeys airspace, the Turkish authorities suggested that it either change its course or land in Ankara. The pilot made a landing, since he knew that he was doing nothing illegal.
In conclusion, I will add that according to our data, the supplier will demand the return of the cargo, which is its property.
And finally, we expect an official explanation from the Turkish side as to why Turkey refused to grant Russian diplomats access to their fellow citizens aboard that plane.

But after reviewing numerous corporate filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, contemporary news accounts, company histories and press releases, and the evidence offered by both the Obama and Romney campaigns, we found no evidence to support the claim that Romney while he was still running Bain Capital shipped American jobs overseas.

Are you saying that Romney was derelict in his fiduciary duties?

That may be what you think his duties are after all you support an illegal alien for president. But what I am saying is that not only are you a liar but you are uninformed and a moron to boot.
Most people are aware (but sometimes forget) that movements are almost always infiltrated by people who wish them to fail. Infiltrators are there to do two things: to monitor what is going on, and to interfere with its effectiveness. Such interference can take several routes. Among these are to promote ineffective, sometimes damaging actions -- such people are generally called 'agent provocateurs." The other way they interfere is to promote division. Like many people, I've long suspected that this is increasingly happening in the movement for

Rules for Leftards #54). In my mind this is a serious issue even though to everybody else its doesnt exist ..
Rule #1 for Fascists:
Communism for the Top 1%.
Free Markets for Everyone Else.
See Uzbeckistan Citizens Forced to Pick Cotton for Free for details...
And Today's Amerikan Debt Slaves:
" Todays college graduates are often referred to as indentured servants because they are forced to fork over large parts of their salaries in wage garnishments to college debt collection agencies in return for the work chit of a degree. Tell me materially how this is different from traditional indentured servitude, where people were fined heavily for being transported to America, and then forced to work to pay back their sponsors for free. And of course, the laws protecting debtors have been stripped away, returning to an almost eighteenth-century mode of unforgivable debt and no limits to what can be done to collect it. Weve even seen the backdoor return of debtors prisons. Others have noted the breakdown of whats commonly referred to as the rule of law in financial matters and noted the creation of separate rules and standards of conduct for the rich as opposed to ordinary people. Of course we are all free to "choose" our jobs, just as we are free to be starving and homeless as those jobs disappear."
All around the world we are regressing. Welcome to capitalist progress. Uzbekistan is the future.
With guys like Romney leading the way.

What started out in Judea as a humble cult in thrall to the new idea of God-given grace, degenerated into a vile whoredom of concentrated wealth devoted to the routine infliction of cruelties.

"We stand to lose a proportional amount of human capital accumulated over the past five hundred years as the benighted people of post-Roman Europe lost, and it may take us a thousand years or more to recover - if we recover at all. It's especially disturbing to see the infiltration of the latest version of Jesus mumbo-jumbo - Southern Republican Nascar Evangelical orthodoxy - take over the collective mind of the USA. "

" In the United States, civil defense plans dating back to the Eisenhower administration were dusted off and activated. One of them mandated that the National Defense Highway Systembetter known as the nations freewaysbe closed to civilian traffic. There were good practical reasons for that step, but nobody had thought about what would happen when millions of Americans tried to flee urban targets and found the freeways barricaded. On the first day of the crisis, most people were too stunned to do anything but follow the instructions that filled the mediastay put, seek cover, you are safer at home than out in the countrysidebut the following night brought second thoughts.
