I am no ecowarrior or environmental wacko, but hope the posts about rainforest destruction are exagerated-believe nothing I hear anymore. But I have used used plants from the rainforest unavailable anywhere else to my knowledge with amazing results. I would be on board for any legitimate, non-politized, money grabbing scheme to join this cause.

goldielocks @ 17:37 re These Judges That Aborted Trumps Order

Posted by Mr.Copper @ 21:45 on February 12, 2017  

I think we’re coming to a time when the good guys need to ignore the judges. After all, look at the fast and furious crime they committed, and that IRS head that blocked Tea Party groups from forming non profit organizations.

The good guys need to LEARN from the bad guys. Fight fire with fire. Pull the same stunts they always do. Cheating lying and propaganda to get their ways.

Yikes Maya, just googled Oroville 10 minutes ago to get up to speed and they say it could fail within the hour.

Oroville Dam Overtops… Evacuations ordered

Posted by Maya @ 21:25 on February 12, 2017  

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-02-12/thousands-are-evacuating-after-californias-oroville-dam-predicted-fail-minutes

 

Feather river downstream in danger immediately.  Yuba county evacuations ordered.  Sacramento river and Sacramento city downstream in danger.  It’s out of control and the emergency spillway has overtopped, and is expected to fail any hour now.  This could breach the dam ramparts.

For those who don’t know about the importance of a rain forest

Posted by Moggy @ 17:43 on February 12, 2017  

Biodiversity

Tropical forests cover only twelve percent of the land-area of the Earth, yet they are home to between 50 and 90 percent of the world’s species. Because of tropical deforestation, at least one species is disappearing every day. This rate of extinction is now 400 times faster than at any other period in the history of the planet.

Medicines

Rainforests are a vital source of medicines. Today, less than 1 percent of the worlds tropical forest plants have been tested for pharmaceutical properties, yet a quarter of all modern medicines came originally from rainforests. Most were first discovered and used by indigenous people.

Food Diversity

Rainforests also offer a bounty of foods. Foods that we use today which originated in rainforests include coffee, cocoa, many fruits and nuts, spices, rice, and other products such as rubber, gums, resins, dyes, tannins and cane. Of an estimated 75,000 edible plants found in nature, only 150 enter world commerce and only 20 (mostly domesticated cereals) stand between human society and starvation. This makes modern agriculture extremely vulnerable to pests, diseases and changes in climate. Genes from wild plants can be used to fortify modern varieties against this vulnerability. Without rainforests, this opportunity is lost, as is the chance to develop entirely new food plants.

Climate

Tropical forests regulate global and regional climate-systems by acting as heat and water pumps. They release moisture into the atmosphere which returns to the ground as rain. When the forest is cleared, the water cycle is disrupted, temperatures increase, droughts become common, and eventually deserts may form. For example, the drought in the Sahelian belt (south of the Saharah Desert), has been attributed to deforestation in West Africa. Estimates suggest that tropical deforestation currently contributes at least 19% of greenhouse gas emissions. Tropical forests have been described as “the lungs of the Earth”. However in mature primary forest, storage and release of carbon is in balance. Carbon-dioxide consumed during photosynthesis is equalled by that released when organic matter decays. A standing forest acts as a store or sink of carbon. On the other hand, when forests are burned or logged and the debris left to decay, carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere.

Prevention of Flooding, Soil Loss and Siltation

Tropical rainforest soils are very old and have been impoverished by eons of high rainfall leaching away their mineral nutrients. The forests have evolved to cope with this by rapidly recycling nutrients. Forest litter, and the droppings and remains of animals are quickly decomposed, releasing nutrients for uptake. Most nutrients are only available from this decomposing layer, so many rainforest trees are shallow-rooting and have buttresses for support.

Rainforests act like giant sponges, soaking up moisture, and then releasing it slowly. This moderates the flow of rivers thus preventing flooding and ensures that rivers and creeks continue to flow during periods of lower rainfall.

When the forest is cleared, rain falls directly onto the compacted soil, often resulting in serious soil-erosion, siltation and flooding. Major floods in southern Thailand, Bangladesh and the Philippines have been attributed to forest clearance.

Once the nutrient recycling-system is broken down, the land can’t support human activities such as cattle ranching for more than a few short years.

John also wrote a song for Tim Leary who was on the run. Come Together song. The tune in drop out can’t remember exact words now dude. Another Berkley thing they claim free speech back when but also big on anti establishment then and drugs. Guess just a extension of anti establishment now but instead of citing the 1st amendment they attack it now.

i assume we did have a sort of commune living once but it was discovered that people don’t hold same beliefs so separated. It didn’t work then it won’t now as we see. They’re already starting to separate in groups as we speak. That’s why we have a constitution this group or that is trying to usurp. Not any more than you put a rat in a cage with mice and tell the mice just be nice and the rat won’t eat you. Good luck with that. These Judges would rather put them in harms way.

Thanks for the comebacks. The USA won its independence in 1776, and lost it in 1913, that’s the way I see it. After WWI and WW II, some people like Sen Joe McCarthy noticed and tried to expose, communists in Hollywood mainly I think, infiltrating and “modernizing” our system with un-American activities.

Naturally, with the media on the communists side, it was a losing endeavor and the free sex and drugs promotion, combined with propaganda advanced full speed ahead. Before that we couldn’t see Elvis below the waist. After that, anything goes, except for nationalism or patriotism. That’s two no no’s.

Then that John Lenin bum with a commie last name, creates a propaganda song telling the kids we need to integrate all together into one global commune so we can all live as one, without a country to live or die for, and no religion too.

Re borders and immigrants, TPTB should just get on TV and admit what they did………

“Ladies and gentlemen. We see you people are confused about immigration because you think you live in separate independent countries. You DON’T. We would like to bring to your attention, long ago with a wink and a nod, without telling anyone, we removed all the borders, and allowed people and businesses to do and go wherever they want to.

We’re sorry for any inconvenience or confusion you may have had regarding this globalization thing, what we did was worse than 100,000 Obama health cares combined and none of you noticed, until recently with terror attacks and a $19 Trillion national debt.

We assumed you all approved and enjoyed the master plan as we see you all gleefully enjoying so many imported high quality cheap consumer products.”

Mr. Cu – I agree with you

That is an extremely biased article .

What is truly ‘corrosive’ is the degradation of the Supreme Court into a politically motivated body of personal biases , instead of an unbiased group dedicated to support for the Constitution . That bastardization began about a hundred years ago  with the ‘progressive’ movement which spread to America after Russia had fallen to the Communists .

Of course during that same intervening period , the Presidency has become a virtual monarchy , and congress has degraded into a money machine for cronies who could care less about We the People , except at election time .

That article is a total slant for the liberal left and their inaccurate claim that Nixon was the only one to try to insinuate a comparison who was impeached was a lie too. Their beloved Obama publicly criticized the whole Supreme Court in his speech which instead of criticism by these same liberals got a applause Further if they ruled against him for saying ” so called judges or biases since they are on the left that is worse.

The judge in the other case is involved in LaRaza a radical group that does not represent americans. As we know about Calif we have a lot of Hispanics that show biases over fellow Hispanics. Heres a recent example so yes they are suspect.
Senator against deportation admits have his family has fake IDs and SS numbers. So much for his oath.

Trump attacks on judiciary are ‘corrosive,’ legal expert says

Posted by Mr.Copper @ 14:43 on February 12, 2017  

I just got finished reading that thought provoking article, and thought you might appreciate a thought provoking response. re parts of your story:

“President Donald Trump’s attacks on judges are “corrosive” to the constitutional system of checks and balances, impact on Americans’ respect for the rule of law.”

““The simple answer is that these attacks are incredibly corrosive to our constitutional system of checks and balances,” said Richard Epstein,”

“Trump’s criticisms are ignorant and reckless. Ignorant because they aren’t based on any study or knowledge about the law these judges are trying to apply. ”

Comment:
The past as it was, after 1975, even though not allegedly “corrosive” to our constitutional system of checks and balances, instead was extremely “corrosive” for 45 years to our once high living standards.

When a person fresh out of high school, in 1962 entered the workforce, it was at middle class quality. I and four other friends, all bought brand new 1963 Pontiac Tempests. $2,589 three year loans, 3% sales tax. The past is no longer viable or possible, that’s why everything is in reverse.

Us manufacturers had to accept a bad future after 1975. Manufacturing is the birth of wealth. Globalization, (global socialism) I knew was a big mistake and would fail.  We are now finally watching the end and failure and reverse of globalization. I’ve never been happier for the future of the USA, and it has NOTHING to do with Trump. The natural reversal started in 2009.

The dominant force for decades was emotional, and after the 2008 crash, a new practical agenda in place for the new future. All people in all countries will be better off operating as separate self reliant, independent countries. Who suffers in the new future? The “cats that swallowed the canaries”. But that another story.

Having spent over four decades as a radio and TV engineer working around too many ‘news’ departments, I can testify to the validity of the above article.  As an engineer, I was the wizard who made all the technical stuff work… the ‘magic of television’.  But even we got no respect from the bean-counter bosses even though we built and operated their magic cash register.

Lee DeForest was the inventor of the vacuum tube… the foundation of electronics.  Even he lamented the problem early in the last century:

Broadcast Engineering
“Some day the program director will attain the intelligent skill of the engineers who erected his towers and built the marvel . . . . The radio engineer has worked miracles in research, invention, and clever engineering. But a comparable knowledge of the basic factors of the social equations to be solved seldom is found in the executive offices of his employers.”
— LEE DE FOREST, “Father of Radio”, Inventor of Triode Vacuum Tube

In the end, it was short sighted economics that caused the end of my career as the boss effectively told me that he didn’t need me to maintain his cash register anymore.

Pentagon Caught Peddling Fake News About Airstrikes

Posted by silverngold @ 13:41 on February 12, 2017

Newsflash: The Pentagon has been lying to you for years.

OK, OK, so this is hardly a “Stop the presses!”-type revelation.

After all, this is the same Pentagon that still can’t account for trillions of dollars in “year end adjustments” on its books.

This is the same Pentagon that oversaw the theft of billions of dollars in cash that was sent to aid “reconstruction” efforts in Iraq following the 2003 invasion.

Heck, this is the same Pentagon that paid a British PR firm to make fake Al Qaeda videos for their black propaganda operations.

To appropriate an old joke: How can you tell if a Pentagon official is lying? His lips are moving.

So it shouldn’t be a surprise to discover that years and years of official Pentagon airstrike data has just been proven to be a complete fabrication.
