»Iranian Nuclear Ambush Round Two...It is our best judgement, drawing exclusively on open sources of information, an understanding of history, an understanding of the intent of the Bush-Cheney Administration, and an understanding of the reluctance of the US military flag officers to "stand down" and refuse to obey illegal and stupid orders, that the U.S. is about to launch a "pre-emptive" strike into Iran, and that this will result in a Sunburn missile with a Pakistani nuclear warhead taking out whatever is in the Red Sea (six times Hiroshima), or the nearest carrier battle group, whichever is closer.

»Quebec puts the brakes on electronic voting... While the U.S. midterm elections are going full steam ahead with a myriad of maybereliable and not-so-reliable electronic voting systems in place, Quebec is pulling back from its adventures in evoting, after the province's chief electoral officer Marcel Blanchet delivered a harsh report on the 2005 municipal elections. The voting machines were used in some 140 municipalities in the province last year but, according to the report, they went down like bad plate of poutine, suffering from blackouts and transmission errors, resulting in unreliable results although he adds that there's nothing that can be done about the results now except to move on.
This it the real problem with the mainstream media reporting we get about vote fraud. Nobody ever dares suggest that maybe the outcome pf elections they admit to be rigged should be challenged.

» Good, Sound Tribal Behavior... Living In A Van Down By The River Blog
Civilization has taught me from birth to watch out for number one. This is true even despite the lip service we give to sharing on Sesame Street and in church. What sharing I have learned to do has been sharing from what I have that is extra, rather that sharing of whatever I have. Yesterday, I began the process of unlearning that unhelpful lesson. I have long suspected that one of the groups of humans who stand a better chance than most of us at outliving the collapse are homeless people. They are already surviving outside the dominant heirarchical structures. They are the least dependent on those structures of any of us. I'll bet they are already the most adept at the sharing of resources and information that is crucial to navigating the collapse.

»MEET THE ‘WHITE TRASH’ OF EUROPE Why, they're just like the ‘white trash’ of the USA!... Rather, what stand out are the symptoms of intellectual neglect. The poor of today watch television for half the day. These days, television producers even refer to what they call "Underclass TV." The new proletariat eats a lot of fatty foods and he enjoys smoking and drinking a lot. About 8 percent of Germans consume 40 percent of all the alcohol sold in the country. While he may be a family man, his families are often broken. And on Election Day, he casts a protest vote for the extreme left or right wing party, sometimes switching quickly from one to the other.
