War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
One real scary moment for Halloween is the overcrowding mob on hand for the party — the UN claims the population of the earth will top 7 billion on Monday, embellishing a smorgasbord of dangerous problems already facing a beleaguered planet. Despite a prognosis to the contrary: Max Singer, founder of the Hudson Institute, warned…
Another anniversary this morning, and a sad day indeed for US peoples. Ten years ago today, George Jr. signed into law the infamous USA/Patriot Act, a move which revealed the end game for the great American experiment in democracy — nowadays the US is closer to George Orwell than George Washington. And although George Jr.…
Another nasty package on the highly-movable climate-change-train as a new study (once again) signals earth is moving beyond heat — revealing the crazy Russian heat wave last year most-likely wouldn’t have happened without global warming. Abstract from the research posted at PNAS: We estimate that climatic warming has increased the number of new global-mean temperature…
The MSM in the US has gotten worse and worse — the whole outfit wasn’t pretty to begin with and the ugly is getting worse — and CBS News should know better. A whole shitload of people don’t deserve any kind of forum, much less on national TV. On Sunday, nit-twits appeared all over the…

Update Below A good piece this morning in the New York Times, illustrating why global peoples are in for some way-hard, climate-change-days due to the fact that although nearly every other nation accepts climate change as a pressing problem, America has turned agnostic on the issue. And nobody seems to be paying much attention to…
(Illustration found here). As the entire world gears itself into the mesh of the Occupy Wall Street movement today — marching on Broadway en route to police headquarters last month, the photo above depicts the singular, unique wonder of an ageless, non-political protest — and there are events scheduled from London, Cologne and Zurich to…
This morning, a possible confrontation of some importance in the ground swelling/breaking Occupy Wall Street phenomenon as Zuccotti Park in Lower Manhattan has been ordered cleared for cleaning — zero hour was set for 7 a.m. EST (about right now (3 a.m. PST). The protestors have vowed to remain, even the powers that be: “You…
Another version of an international tall tale popped up this week with the initially alarming news of an official Iranian plot to kill the Saudi ambassador at a DC restaurant via Mexican drug cartel gunmen.
