The first Europeans were cannibals with a taste for kids
06-24-2009
•
Daily Telegraph
The claim has come after bones of the ancestors of Neanderthals and Homo
Sapiens who first settled in Europe around 800,000 years ago were unearthed
in the Atapuerca caves in northern Spain.
A study of the prehistoric remains has revealed that human flesh formed part
of the diet of early man and children and adolescents in particular were
regularly killed and eaten.

Ron Paul: The World's Most Popular U.S. Congressman (VIDEO)
06-24-2009
•
Huffington Post
Months after his long-shot bid for the Republican presidential
nomination ended, Rep. Ron Paul has become a hot ticket on the
international stage. Unlikely as it may seem, Paul, a Texas Republican,
is the most popular member of Congress outside the United States, if
foreign television appearances are any indication.
Paul expected his international influence to diminish after the
quixotic presidential campaign. In fact, it's gone the other way.
"It's actually building," he told the Huffington Post. "It really
truly baffles me. I see myself as somebody who's been saying the same
thing for about 30 years and not too many people paying any attention."

Opinion: Torture eats away at the soul of this nation
06-24-2009
•
By Diana Gibson and Ray McGovern
Anniversaries
can be important. This Friday marks the 22nd anniversary of the U.N.
Convention against Torture, ratified and signed under President Reagan. Last Friday marked the 150th day of the presidency of Barack Obama, who is trying to put a definitive end to the torture approved by the Bush-Cheney administration.
That Obama has not been able to do so is our collective
shame. Worse still, the president has apparently concluded that he
lacks the support to deter future abominations of this sort by
launching a proper investigation and holding to account those
responsible.
Something evil has seeped into the soul of
our nation. Those many years when we looked the other way, choosing to
ignore the abuse of detainees in U.S. custody, eroded our morality.
Americans
who claim to believe in human dignity and the law do not seem
scandalized by this inhumane and illegal activity. Many people of faith
appear willing to tolerat

Spokane-area residents see another side of Iran ("Government Bad. People Good")

“They didn’t know what to make of us,” said Pam Deutschman.
But despite their surprise or shock to meet Americans visiting their country, many of the Iranians welcomed them with open arms.
“They knew how hard it was and how unusual it was for Americans to
be there,” said Jon Snyder. “They were deeply impressed and it
reinforced their pride in their country.”
Throughout their travels to Tehran, Isfehan, Shiraz and other cities, people stopped to talk.
“What do you think of our country?” they would ask. On a few
occasions, some people told them in English: “Government, bad.
People, good.”
( "Hmm, apparently Ernie's been to Iran!" Dianne said! So I thought I'd share that little tidbit with you guys!
Blessings,

Debt Slavery: Exporting Danish-style Recourse Mortgages to the US

To sum up, it would seem that a lot of banks are looking at intensified control and exploitation of their middle-class customers in the US and beyond as a way to recover some of their recent losses. I find this very disturbing.

Earliest Grain Storage
06-24-2009
•

That's as much as a thousand years before people in the Middle East domesticated grain, the research team led by anthropologist Ian Kuijt of the University of Notre Dame said.
Remains of wild barley were found in the structure, indicating that the grain was collected and saved even though formal cultivation had not yet developed.
The granary was between two other structures used for grain processing and residences, discovered in excavations at Dhra', near the Dead Sea. The granary was round with walls of stone and mud. The researchers said it had a raised floor for air circulation and protection from rodents.

The maximum size vehicle weighs 45 tonnes gross, and carries 175 passengers, three and two abreast. Minimum headway at 500 km/h is 20 seconds, which permits a maximum single vehicle operation capacity of 25,000 seats/hour in each direction, as compared to about 10,000 for light rail and about 3,000 for a highway lane. With headways of 60 seconds in keeping with current state-of-the-art automatic controllers, three coupled intercity vehicles would be used to achieve the 25,000 seats/hour intercity capacity.

So while he is riding along, he is also trying to ignore the big domestic government finance disaster rushing down the rail toward him. California is screaming for help and others can not be far behind. The cities must be facing huge contractions in their budgets. In the end it will become visible and congress will be forced to react again in a panic. All this is foreseeable and plans can be made.

The Gloves Come Off On Health Care Reform

Obama hits back at insurance companies for opposing public option.
It took a few months, but tensions between the Obama administration and private health insurers seem to be coming to a head.
In a White House press conference Tuesday, President Barack Obama described a government-run health care option as "an important tool to discipline insurance companies" and brushed aside criticism that such a plan would ruin the industry.
