POPSwhatreallyhappened.com: CLIMATEGATE: A CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY "The recent exposures of fraud coming from the Hadley Climate Research Unit, then followed by similar exposures at New Zealand's NWIA, Australia's climate center, and NOAA have only confirmed the doubts arising from the obviously NON-scientific methods employed by the Anthropogenic Global Warming supporters, hereinafter called the "Global Warming Cult". I call them a cult because of the abandonment of scientific method by many of the acolytes, together with a recent British Court decision that declared belief in Global Warming was accorded the status of a religion.

POPSWarum gibt es Leid in der Welt? - Yahoo! Clever
Warum fallen Blätter vom Baum? Naturkatastrophen, wie Plattenbewegung, Vulkan, Überschwemmung, war vor der Kreatur. Ohne Schmerz ist kein Wissen. Jeder könnte isoliert in einem riesigien Wolkenkuckuckswolke existieren, würde es nicht wissen, dass er dort ist. Sterben ist Haut- und Haarverlust. Hirntod ist kein Sterben, im Sinne erfahrbarem Verlust, auch nicht das absolute Nichts, Verlust erfahren nur Angehörige. Umweltschäden, Schäden mit falscher Ernährung, bewirken in jedem Fall Menschen, auch im Kleinsthaushalt. Hirntod ist nicht Vernichtung. Es ist Ab/Umwandlung, naturwissenschaftlich unbelebte Daseinsform, die Belebtes (Pflanze, Tier, Mensch) weiterhin ohne Spuk und Beschwörungsformeln belebt. Im Hinblick Worte, Namen, wird es ohnehin fragwürdig.

POPSThe American Class System I just happened to come across this entry in a blog called "Real Eyes Realize Real Lies". The common sense discussion by the author of this blog made me feel jealous of his ability to express what I've been thinking. I sense that there are a lot of people out there in these United States that are thinking the same way....including those who just love tea-parties!

POPS(BusinessWeek) – Is Global Warming a “Crock of S*%t?” When Cramer heard of that blunder she wrote a letter to the IPCC, saying she was "not amused" there were mistakes in the scientific report she bases the Dutch environmental policies on. Now she is confronted with errors in the data about her own country. "This can't happen again," the minister told reporters in The Hague on Wednesday. "The public trust in science and politics has been badly damaged."

POPSpoem: "The Principles of Concealment" by David Wagoner
More: … And let you have your moment In the sun as an abstraction gone To pieces, as a surface mottled and dappled Ambiguously by intercepted light Like a man cancelled. But all these efforts Will come to nothing if you move: one gesture May catch all eyes. If you stand Still then, or stay seated If you’re sitting down, or go on lying Down if you’re lying, an easy solution May occur to you, cheek to cheek With the hard facts of inorganic life: That you have no enemy, That no one is hunting you, That all your precautions were a waste Of attention better given to more rewarding Evasions and pursuits. If so, And you take your place again As a distinct departure From your foreground and background, You should know it’s possible For you to feel, after all, At the first step, at the first crack Out of the box, that lethal impact, That private personal blow marking your loss Of the light of day, the companionship Of the night, and the creature comforts of home

POPSTea Party Convention Boils Over Claiming to have launched 'the counter-revolution,' the opening speaker of the Tea Party Convention, former Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-Colo.) is setting new standards for how many insults and lies can be fit into one sentence. Tancredo also slashed at the former Republican candidate for President, John McCain. We need to come up with new catagories to identify political ideologies: These Tea Party people sound like KKK-Zionist, imo. That very accurately sums up many of their views.

POPS'The Empathic Civilization': Rethinking Human Nature in the Biosphere Era The point in short: "Recent discoveries in brain science and child development, however, are forcing us to rethink these long-held shibboleths about human nature. Biologists and cognitive neuroscientists are discovering mirror-neurons--the so-called empathy neurons--that allow human beings and other species to feel and experience another's situation as if it were one's own. We are, it appears, the most social of animals and seek intimate participation and companionship with our fellows."

POPSBehind the Lines
Irrespective of how the families of service personnel think, this expose reveals the lies that British and American politician perpetrate. I soldiered all my life and if young enough would be with our troops, not because the WAR is right, but because I loved the work. If the viewer does not like the truth they should get onto that Lying Blair and Brown. From the very outset, political avoidance of truth has and is endemic. When everyone regales about the lack of helicopter cover, the most damning silence is the issuing of the SA80 assault weapon. Which amateur ever bought that toy with it ineffectual ammunition is treachery in its utmost. Every single news reel shows infantrymen standing, sitting just outside of the weapons range making the infantry section spectators in their own deaths. With its predecessors the 7.62, at least the section could function properly and become a close deterrent. But No! We have to follow the Americans and use their ammunition, a legacy of the ill-fate

POPSTorture Not Needed to get Info Just reported is that the FBI using civilized techniques of investigation, have been able to get some real useful info from the would-be Christmas Day bomber. They brought in his family. Still....success is not enough to quiet the Republican critics and the lie that 'torture works,' is still popular http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/archives/individual/2009_04/017875.php It seems -- although it's a sick justification to use anyhow -- but it seems that all the claims of torture working on getting real and useful info are Lies. False. BS. Tsk. Tsk.

POPSUK, Russia, like Iran's Nuclear Deal
You would think...I mean, I would think that if you've misled nations into going to war, killing hundreds of thousands, and never found any weapons of mass destruction (in fact, these were deliberate lies) -- that the propaganda to going to war with Iran because We Claim they want nuke weapons someday in the future -- you would think that spin deserves a second thought. But, apparently not much. Israel threatens war with Iran every week and the USA buys into this scam -- we are the biggest weapons dealers in the world, we got to sell them to somebody, war is good for business. But is seems these sneaky, evil, WMD-intentioned Iranians have foiled the warmongers Master Plans, again -- by cooperating -- again, on negotiated terms that have taken some time to work out -- again. Yup. Pretty soon they will be able to get that nuclear facility the USA sold them -- back when we were supporting the dictator Shah -- get that back up and running. Russian & China ain't gonna play along

POPSRevisiting the Swine Flu Lies and Hysteria Along with the U.S. government’s numerous military entanglements, there are a series of “smaller” wars that the state carries out against the people who reside within its borders. These “wars” all bear the crisis logo, and they are always targeted at protecting you from something – real, exaggerated, or contrived – that requires massive government intervention and the curtailment of liberties in order to win the war.

POPSChinese girl, 9, becomes one of world's youngest mothers In the province, sex with a child under the age of 14 brings an automatic rape conviction and a lengthy jail sentence. A legal expert told the paper that women under the age of 14 do not have sexual rights - 'so any argument of being consensual as a defence is completely untenable,' he said. He added: 'Anyone who had sexual relations with a girl under 14 means they have committed rape and is to be punished severely.' The youngest reported mother in the world - and the most bizarre of all young pregnancy cases - is five-year-old Lina Medina of Peru, who gave birth to a 6lb son named Gerardo in a Caesarean operation in 1939. Her father was arrested on suspicion of sexual abuse but was later released because of lack of evidence.

POPSOnce again, let's give a big ol' "thank you" to George Bush for all he's done, all his "hard work"...
Yesterday the airwaves were abuzz re: the CEO of Goldman Sachs taking $100 million in bonuses and thumbing his nose at Obama in doing so. Other reports this week are confirming the sleight-of-hand and shadiness surrounding the TARP bailout of the banks: Specifically, that TARP money handed out by Paulson was not recorded, let alone accounted for or monitored; and therefore it cannot be traced or even determined whether it went to benefit American corporations, let alone Americans, and not foreign corporations or even private interests or parties. With these recent developments coming to light, along with the tea-baggers and Republicans continued blaming of Obama for everything from being born, daring to take the oath of office with unpresidential skin pigmentation, to daring to reverse the direction of the country from the cliff that Bush had so clearly left us heading for, it seems it's time to revisit those days of yore, those nostalgic last glimmerings of a time when we had a gover
