Save The Earth, Prevent Global Warming... By Peeing In The Shower

Via Daily Caller:

You want to save the environment, right? Prevent global warming, save the world's 13 Icelandic snow owls, that kind of thing.

Then you must pee in the shower. That's the earnest message from a couple of students at England's University of East Anglia, reports BBC News.

The two students, Debs Torr and Chris Dobson, theorize that their idea could "save enough water to fill an Olympic-sized swimming pool 26 times."

It's also a pragmatic timesaver, The Daily Caller notes.

"We've done the math, and this project stands to have a phenomenal impact," Dobson told the BBC.

#Ferguson Organizers Think They Have New Cause In #VonderrittMyers, Turns Out He Is Indeed Another #MikeBrown

Multiple groups were out tonight in Ferguson for a "Weekend Of Resistance". One of the things they were supposedly protesting against was the killing of VonDerritt Myers a couple of days ago in the nearby area of Shaw. Myers was shot several times by a police officer after Myers first fired on the officer, according to the police. A gun was found near Myers body. Myers' family insisted he was unarmed, that all he had in his hands was a sandwich. And with that the organizers and people trying to pimp for 'revolution' were off to the races, accusing the police once again of murder.

But quickly, just as Brown had been revealed to have been essentially fleeing a strong arm robbery, Vonderritt Myers' background began to emerge. Despite only being 18, Myers had other charges, including a felony gun charge. He was still supposed to be on house arrest, and not supposed to be out.

Multiple pictures of Myers began to turn up as well as posts by those who appear to be friends, mourning his death, but posting his pictures, referring to him as a Blood and by his street name of "Droop". There are many pictures showing him armed, including one in which he actually has three guns.

So Vonderrick Myers was a bloods gang banger named Droop.

ISSL jihadists execute four women in northern Iraq

http://news.yahoo.com/jihadists-execute-four-women-northern-iraq-182457132.html

Baghdad (AFP) - The Islamic State group has executed at least four women, including two doctors and a politician, in their northern Iraq strongholds this month, relatives and rights activists said on Saturday.

In the IS hub of Mosul, the jihadists executed three women on Wednesday including two doctors, Hanaa Edwar, a human rights activist who heads the Al-Amal organisation, said.

A medical source in Mosul confirmed their deaths and named the two doctors as Maha Sabhan and Lamia Ismail. The third woman was a law graduate.

On October 5, Iman Mohammed Yunus, a former Sunni parliamentarian from the Iraq Turkmen Front in the city of Tal Afar, farther west towards the Syrian border, was also executed.

"They took her from her home last month and called her family this week to say that she had been executed," said Ali al-Bayati, who runs a foundation supporting the rights of Iraq's Turkmen minority.

"Then they dumped her body in a water well outside Tal Afar," he said.

According to Edwar, who confirmed Yunus' execution, at least four other women were executed by IS militants in the Mosul area in recent weeks.

Militants hold a checkpoint on June 16, 2014 in Iraq's second city of Mosul, where jihadists executed three women this week

Among them were a former candidate for the local council and an academic.

"Women are easy targets for them. Many of the rights activists from Mosul ran away but some of the women among them had to stay with their children," Edwar said.

IS militants have controlled Mosul since June 10, the second day of a major offensive that saw jihadist fighters seize swathes of land in five Iraqi provinces.

They have used the city, Iraq's second largest, as a de facto capital for the Iraqi half of the "caliphate" which their leadership proclaimed in June and also includes large parts of Syria.

"After going after the ethnic and religious minorities, they are now hunting down Sunni members of civil society groups and anyone remotely connected with the government," Edwar said.

She said IS was probably trying to sow maximum fear among the population by openly targeting women.

"When you abduct and kill women, you are really spreading horror," she said.

On September 22, IS executed a women's rights activist, Samira Saleh al-Nuaimi, reportedly because she had condemned the demolition of heritage sites by IS on social media.

Edwar also said two men, a judge and a deputy prosecutor, had been executed over the past two weeks.

A source at the Mosul morgue confirmed that their bodies had been brought in earlier this month.

Not Just The Largest Economy –
Here Are 26 Other Ways China Has Surpassed America

By Michael Snyder, on October 8th, 2014

In terms of purchasing power, China now has the largest economy on the entire planet, but that is not the only area where China has surpassed the United States.  China also accounts for more total global trade than the U.S. does, China consumes more energy than the U.S. does, and China now manufactures more goods than the U.S. does.  In other words, the era of American economic dominance is rapidly ending.  Global economic power is making a dramatic shift to the east, and that is going to have huge implications for our future.  We already owe the Chinese well over a trillion dollars, and as our economic infrastructure crumbles we are feverishly borrowing even more money in a desperate attempt to prop up our falling standard of living.  We can't seem to match the work ethic, inventiveness and determination of China and other Asian nations and it is showing.  If we continue down this path, what will the future look like for future generations of Americans?

In terms of raw GDP, the U.S. is still number one, at least for now.  But according to the IMF, China is now the number one economy on the entire planet in terms of purchasing power...

The simple logic is that prices aren't the same in each country: A shirt will cost you less in Shanghai than San Francisco, so it's not entirely reasonable to compare countries without taking this into account. Though a typical person in China earns a lot less than the typical person in the US, simply converting a Chinese salary into dollars underestimates how much purchasing power that individual, and therefore that country, might have. The Economist's Big Mac Index is a great example of these disparities.

So the IMF measures both GDP in market exchange terms, and in terms of purchasing power. On the purchasing power basis, China is overtaking the US right about now and becoming the world's biggest economy.

When I first learned about this, I was quite stunned.

I knew that China's economy had been roaring, but like most Americans I just assumed that the U.S. would continue to remain head and shoulders above everyone else.

Unfortunately, things are changing at a pace that is much faster than most people ever thought possible. 

The following are 26 other ways that China has surpassed America....

#1 When you add up all imports and exports, China now accounts for more total global trade than the United States does.

#2 There is now more total corporate debt in China than there is in the United States.

#3 During 2013, we sold about 121 billion dollars worth of stuff to the Chinese, but they sold about 440 billion dollars worth of stuff to us.  That was the largest trade deficit that one nation has had with another nation in the history of the world.

#4 China is now the leading manufacturer of goods in the entire world.

#5 Back in 1998, the United States had 25 percent of the world's high-tech export market and China had just 10 percent. Today, China's high-tech exports are more than twice the size of U.S. high-tech exports.

#6 The United States had been the leading consumer of energy in the world for about 100 years, but during the summer of 2010 China took over the number one spot.

#7 China now has the largest new car market in the entire world.

#8 China has more foreign currency reserves than anyone else on the planet.

#9 China is the number one gold producer in the world.

#10 China is also the number one gold importer in the world.

#11 15 years ago, China was 14th in the world in published scientific research articles.  But now, China is expected to pass the United States and become number one very shortly.

#12 China is also expected to soon become the global leader in patent filings.

#13 China awards more doctoral degrees in engineering each year than the United States does.

#14 China has the world's fastest train and the world's most extensive high-speed rail network.

#15 China uses more cement than the rest of the world combined.

#16 Today, China produces nearly twice as much beer as the United States does.

#17 85 percent of all artificial Christmas trees are made in China.

#18 There are more pigs in China than in the next 43 pork producing nations combined.

#19 China is now the number one producer of wind and solar power on the entire globe.

#20 China produces more than twice as much cotton as the United States does.

#21 China produces more than three times as much coal as the United States does.

#22 China now produces 11 times as much steel as the United States does.

#23 China controls over 90 percent of the total global supply of rare earth elements.

#24 An investigation by the U.S. Senate Committee on Armed Services found more than one million counterfeit Chinese parts in the Department of Defense supply chain.

#25 According to author Clyde Prestowitz, China's number one export to the U.S. is computer equipment.  According to an article in U.S. News & World Report, the number one U.S. export to China is "scrap and trash".

#26 Nobel economist Robert W. Fogel of the University of Chicago is projecting that the Chinese economy will be three times larger than the U.S. economy by the year 2040 if current trends continue.

The Chinese are using some of their new wealth to buy up land, properties and businesses here in the United States.  In fact, just the other day we learned that a group from China is buying New York City's Waldorf Astoria hotel.

For much, much more on this trend, please see some of my previous articles...

-"The Chinese Are Acquiring Large Chunks Of Land In Communities All Over America"

-"45 Signs That China Is Colonizing America"

-"Meet Your New Boss: Buying Large Employers Will Enable China To Dominate 1000s Of U.S. Communities"

And most Americans don't realize this, but Chinese-made cars will soon be sold in the United States.

The following is from a recent WND article...

Chinese-made cars will be making their way to the U.S. next year, and guess which company is going to start exporting them to our shores?

A Chinese company, of course.

Chinese-owned Volvo's parent company, Zhejiang Geely Holding Group, will begin exporting its S60L from China to the United States as early as next year, according to a Reuters report which quoted a senior Volvo executive.

Volvo is trying to take advantage of two new Chinese factories that will make up an export hub to send vehicles to the U.S. and Russia.

Everywhere you look, China is dominating and America is in decline.

If this was a sporting event for little kids, the "mercy rule" would have been invoked by now.

Unfortunately, there is no "mercy rule" on the global economic stage.

The United States is going to have to get things together if it wants to have any hope of competing with the Chinese in the future.

The Chinese are kicking our tails and they know it.

One survey found found that 75 percent of those living in China believe that their country is on the right track.

On the other hand, Americans are not nearly as optimistic.

According to one average of recent surveys, only 28 percent of Americans believe that the United States is on the right track.

I think that those numbers say a lot.  We have been in decline for quite some time, but we can never seem to get the ship righted.

Hopefully our leaders can start coming up with some solutions soon, because we are running out of time.

Rip Van Whitey - Part #8

***Saint MLK***

Upon entering the factory, Rip was shocked to find a hive of industriousness and an oasis of relative peace and quiet. What was strangest of all was that the place was nearly entirely uniform in its whiteness. With the exception of what appeared to be guards, who dozed in the corners on chairs and lounges, their hats pulled over their eyes, everyone was white.

In the times before his great nap, such a monolithic racial makeup would have disconcerted Rip greatly, causing peptic guilt to burble in the back of his throat, his knees to knock with trepidation at the exposure to accusations of racism, and making him long for the deliverance his betters assured him only "diversity" could bring. Surely, he would say, so as to ingratiate himself to his superiors, lord himself over his inferiors, and inoculate himself against the dreaded r-word, this place was "too white".

But now...now was a different time, and made for a different Rip. He found not fear in this roomful of whites, but rather relief; not disgust, but solace. How that flagon had changed him!

At the front of the factory floor, near the very "door" through which he entered, stood a giant statue of a man Rip knew all too well—Saint MLK. His arms crossed, he stared down sternly from his commanding height at the white workers below.

Observing this assortment of whites, with their widely diverse appearances—from redheads and blonds to brunettes and brown-haired; from blues eyes to green to hazel to gray; from short to tall, and slender to hulking; from merely comely to positively beautiful—Rip noticed their work was equally diverse: some toiled away making garments, while others were assembling cheap electronics, and still others wearing protective eyewear and gloves as they composited batteries. Some even pedaled away on what looked like exercise bikes attached to the generators left over from the factory's operational days.

But not all was well, for he realized that the labor of the people did not appear to make them happy; rather, they looked decidedly tense in their affairs. Perhaps it was due to the proctors who paced around behind them, constantly haranguing them and denouncing them as sinners who must purge their original sin of white privilege by working solely for the benefit of the "eternally oppressed"; that they can only properly atone for their sins of racism and sexism and homophobia and transphobia and Islamophobia and nativism and xenophobia and genocide and slavery and colonialism—that they, and they alone!, were guilty of—by praying for the grace of Saint MLK to absolve them; that it was only right that they forfeit their children to The Indoctrinators so that they wouldn't grow up to be the hate-filled bigots that their parents were; that they should be thankful they were allowed to lead the lives of slaves rather than be human sacrifices to god Diversity; and such things, and so forth.

The self-important white man with the cocked hat nudged Rip, knocking him out of his reverie, and pointed to a vacant seat behind a manual-powered sewing machine. "Do you know how to sew?"

Though advanced in age, and despite never having been exhibited prior—throughout all of Rip's most miserable and dangerous encounters—his survival instincts finally kicked in; for, not having the slightest inkling as to how to operate the machine let alone sew, he responded without a moment's hesitation: "Yes...yes, of course."

"Then get to it," said the self-important man, and, with that, departed.

Rip noticed a proctor looking in his direction, so before he could incur her wrath, he scrambled over to his seat at the sewing machine.

Lib Rag Salon: "When That Cop Killed Mike Brown, and Zimmerman Killed Trayvon Martin, They Were Killing Barack Obama"

(. . . and Salon jumps the shark for the 39,092,170th time)

Via Salon:
http://media.salon.com/2014/10/zimmerman_obama_wilson.jpg

There has been a breakdown in decency in this country over the past number of years to the point where, just this weekend, somebody showed up at a Vikings game where Adrian Peterson, their running back, had just been suspended or not suspended ... suspended by his team for a game because of child abuse indictment. Somebody shows up at the Vikings game in Minnesota wearing an Adrian Peterson jersey and carrying a tree switch, of the sort that he used to beat his son. It's like, what kind of ... how sick do you have to be to even think of doing that? Let alone do it.

But with Barack Obama, racism has become ordinary discourse since his election in a way that it wasn't before, and the contempt and the ridicule with which Republicans treat him. Not even Bill Clinton, who they felt they could disparage because they thought he was a dumb white cracker, not even Bill Clinton has been treated the way Barack Obama has been treated. He's been treated as if he's an impostor, an interloper and as scum.

I mean, the things that have been said about Michelle Obama, the way she's talked about on Fox News, you know, forget about Twitter or comments on news stories or anything like that where all the morons live, but the way she's been talked about, can you imagine Laura Bush ever being talked about that way? Laura Bush actually killed somebody.
http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/opinion/e1698.htm

But that was never mentioned, that was never talked about, because it was impolite to bring it up.

Anyway, don't let me go on like this. But, yeah, yeah. And when you look at the things ... when you look at the murder of Trayvon Martin, when you look at the murder of Michael Brown, when you look at those situations, it's not unrelated to Obama being president, but it's more the way in which the country has reframed itself or rewritten itself since his election, with all kinds of people saying to themselves, maybe never putting it into words, just feeling it, "There's a f***ing n---er in the White House? Well f*** you, n---er, whoever you are." And an inchoate loathing and hatred that seeks out its targets.

I'm not a psychiatrist, I haven't sat down and interviewed George Zimmerman or the cop who shot Michael Brown, I don't know what their motives are, I don't know what kind of people they are, what kind of childhood traumas they have experienced. But I don't think it's nuts that in a certain way, when that cop killed Michael Brown, and when George Zimmerman killed Trayvon Martin, they were killing Barack Obama.

I may be Crazy

I am Not Insane !

Living in the age of insanity,
from Ebola to radical Islam
to gay marriage

America's leaders are helping degrade the culture
like it's their job

Beach Blanket Babylon cast member Caitlin McGinty,
singing during the 7th inning stretch of the playoff game
between the San Francisco Giants and the Washington Nationals

By Robert Knight - - Friday, October 10, 2014


If you're a regular consumer of news, you may be feeling what I'm feeling right now.

We're living in an age of insanity. Let's start with Ebola.

The virus is tragically consuming thousands of people in West Africa, and yet America is still accepting flights from the affected countries. After the first patient death in Texas, the Obama administration says it has gotten around to tightening procedures for monitoring passengers into five airports, including Washington Dulles International Airport.

The Washington Post editorialized Thursday against stopping the flights, even while admitting that passenger checks "are not foolproof," and "Ebola can incubate in a human for up to 21 days, and the infected person does not immediately show symptoms an infected person can go through multiple screenings without setting off alarms."

On CNN, Centers for Disease Control Director Thomas Freiden avoided answering whether a sneeze may put another person at risk. When pressed, he said, "If you're within three feet, that's a situation we'd want to be concerned about." Been in an airliner lately?

Well, let's trust that our ultra-effective Obamacare health bureaucracy can limit the damage when the victims fly all over the country. After all, the administration is doing such a great job of containment along the Mexican border.

Does anyone still think our government is acting sanely and doing what's best for us Americans?

You do? I hope you're right, but let's do a sanity reality check.

Would a sane government trade five Taliban terrorist leaders for an American soldier who went AWOL in Afghanistan?

Would a director of national intelligence (James R. Clapper) testify to Congress that the Muslim Brotherhood, whose surrogates have turned the Arab Spring into a bloody regional war, is a "largely secular" organization in Egypt?

Would the administration continue to define as "workplace violence" the slaughter of more than a dozen soldiers at Fort Hood, Texas, in 2009 by a militant Muslim yelling "Allahu akbar"?

How about the Army's top general (George Casey) observing, "as horrific as this tragedy was, if our diversity becomes a casualty, I think that's worse."

Really? How about a disgruntled recent convert to Islam entering his former workplace and beheading a woman — in Oklahoma?

For more insanity in high places, let's move on to the legal blitzkrieg against marriage laws, with the exception of a single sane judge in Louisiana.

With lightning speed, the federal judicial Borg has ordered a majority of states to ignore the clearly stated wishes of their citizens. As the Supreme Court yawns, black-robed tyrants below are ordering everyone to pretend that brideless or groomless weddings are really "marriages" — or else. Anyone not buying this fiction is a "hater."

Insanity is rearing its bizarre head in every corner of America. An Obama-Biden sticker on your car is a tip-off, unless you're in the Free Stuff Army or run an abortion clinic, in which case it makes perfect sense.

We just don't have enough people who are stoned, so states are rushing to legalize marijuana.

How about sports, the last redoubt of sanity? Well, mostly. The word "fan" is short for "fanatic."

Did you catch the "God Bless America" performance during the baseball playoff game between the Giants and Nationals in San Francisco? It was sung by a woman (pretty sure) from the cast of "Beach Blanket Babylon," who wore a huge dress and massive headpiece right out of a drag queen revue. Which is the whole point. Take something as American as apple pie and mock it, right in front of the children, like the inclusion of lewd dancing in last year's Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Some Frisco sports fans were ecstatic. A blog entry: "Loved the Giants rocking the Beach Blanket Babylon look for God Bless America. This ain't Kansas anymore, Toto." Another was delighted that Nationals slugger Bryce Harper "had the most sickened look on his face" during the performance. Perhaps Mr. Harper should have been fined for taking it out on Giant pitchers.

Another entry: "Too bad we couldn't save her for the Cards series. (Middle America would love her!)"

Yes, shocking "Middle America" is what the insane, leftist, perpetually adolescent culture is all about. When its proponents get into seats of power, they even walk around like crazed children with giant gavels.

In 1971, the British rock group The Kinks released an amazingly reactionary song, "Twentieth Century Man." It laments big government and the loss of civility, sanity and true art, and it works just as well in 2014:

It's the age of insanity

What has become of the green pleasant fields of Jerusalem?

I was born in a welfare state

Ruled by bureaucracy

Controlled by civil servants

And people dressed in gray

Got no privacy, got no liberty

Cos the twentieth-century people

Took it all away from me."

At some point, we need to acknowledge that people who appear to be clinically insane are running the culture and the government, and that we need to do something about it — starting in November.

In the meantime, prayers for our country could do wonders.
