Why is it that when there is notable gun violence in the USA, Glen Beck's name turns up?

On November 11, 2011 at 11:11:11 AM Glen Beck was 'on the air' at Rush Radio and whipping up the frenzy with his audience.  I heard the wacko on the air laughing and joking as if he was innocent of the actions of a madman.

Why is it that the Arizona assassin was a Right Wing Wacko that found his validity for violence in extremist rants identical to those of Becks'.

I don't care if these people are deranged with mental illness, it only speaks to the abilities of Mr. Beck and his programming.

More than odd.  More than very, very odd.  More than coincidence.

...On the face of it, (click here) The War of the Worlds should have had no greater effect on the listening public than the previous broadcasts, which is to say, none at all, but Welles and his writer Howard Koch were planning something special this particular night, and though it is a matter of considerable debate if they actually intended to create the subsequent uproar and near panic, it was undoubtedly their very novel dramatic device that did much of the damage....

Interestingly, I have to reach back decades to find such a horrific program that defines irresponsible radio broadcasts, but, The Mercury Theater had a history of creating terror.  But, then again, so does Beck.  The Mercury Theater changed the story to Grover's Mills, New Jersey rather than maintaining it in a country across the ocean.  There is responsible media and their is completely careless media.  I do believe I have made myself clear in regard to Beck.

When I blame Republicans, especially North Carolina Republicans, for a child's death due to the Climate Crisis; I mean it beyond any imagination otherwise.

I gave verbal testimony at The Clean Air Act's New Source Review in April 2003.  I gave that testimony in Raleigh, North Carolina. 

I gave written testimony to The Clean Air Act's New Source Review less than a month later on May 1, 2003.

I never said or wrote anything in my life I meant more.  My sons are older now.  My youngest son is 30 years old.  He has three beautiful children ages 10 months, 2 and a half years and five years old.  Two beautiful girls and a handsome and very bright little boy.  They are my angels and they live up to the name everyday.  They are wonderful children and my son a wonderful man and a wonderful dad.

I witnessed the manifestation of the first two tropospheric vortexes on October 4, 2002 on satellites of the northern Pacific and Atlantic.  About three hours later after I had documented what I saw and reviewed the newspapers to find any lower atmospheric repercussions (ground level) I read an article from a scientist in Antarctica.  That scientist had reported that same day that "C Zero," an ice river, had reversed course as it never had before.  I knew that Earth was going through huge shifts in climate even then. 

I haven't stopped writing, advocating or acting to bring about change to our state and our country to stop the insanity of using fossil fuels to power our economy that would suredly cause demise of life and liberty for so many and possibly turn Earth's troposphere into a hostile environment for life.

I have been seeking answers to the hideous objections to the geoscience of Human Induced Global Warming, now described better as the Climate Crisis, for longer than October 4, 2002.  It was that pursuit that allowed me to witness the events of that day.

In November of 2002 there were no tornadoes. 

When I witness the death of a three year old child that could have been averted if state and federal legislators acted to stop this insane economy of crony politics pandering to fossil fuels rather than energies of the future; I will NEVER remain silent.  I take my role in this disaster seriously, it would be better if everyone else did as well.

I wil be at the end of a computer tomorrow and for as long as it takes until the idiots of government are either gone or have reformed their immoral value system.  Virginia Foxx may be famous in her district for extremist values of the anti-abortionists, but, she does not value the life of a child and today is PROOF.

...And last but never least; (click title to entry - thank you) I am a mother of two young men, ages 22 and 24 whom I wish to return hope to their lives of an Earth full of life and longevity....

Republicans are killing jobs AGAIN !

For every job lost, the smaller the tax base for the nation.  The Republicans are Anti-American.  They don't care about the future of our country, they only care about their cronies.  In this case, the petroleum industry is at the heart of the jobloss!

Harkin doesn’t want passenger rail funding cut (click title to entry - thank you)

November 17, 2011

By Matt Kelley

Some Republicans in Congress are claiming they’ve killed the expensive high-speed rail program President Obama had been pushing to establish. If funding for the proposed multi-billion dollar rail transportation program has been eliminated, Iowa Senator and Democrat Tom Harkin says it would be a real shame.

“I have long advocated, for at least the last 30 years, that we need to develop high-speed rail in America,” Harkin says. “Having ridden on high-speed trains when I was in the military stationed in Japan, they had a train that went 150 miles an hour and that was back in the ’60s.”

Reports say Republicans want to derail the program because it’s too expensive. Harkin hadn’t heard that they succeeded. “I don’t know what the recent reports are on killing high-speed rail,” Harkin says. “I don’t think we’re going to cut that, at least I hope not.”

The president requested $8-billion for the rail program in fiscal year 2012 and a total of $53-billion over six years. The Republican-led U.S. House is set to vote today on a spending measure which reportedly stripped all funding to the high-speed rail program. It should go to the Senate Friday....

Oh, some say there is no cronyism of Republicans with the petroleum industry.  Really?  Allow me.

Washington • The Obama administration (click here) cautiously offered up more areas in the Gulf of Mexico and off Alaska’s coast to oil and gas drilling Tuesday but didn’t go far enough to satisfy Republicans pushing to greatly expand drilling as a way to create jobs and wean the country off foreign oil....

Americans need to realize that Republicans have no ideas, they have no 'future vision' for the nation and they are more than willing to open up the Middle Class to higher and higher petroleum costs to their budget as time goes on. 

That doesn't even begin to address the Climate Crisis and the very real dangers affiliated with it.  Yesterday, in the middle of November, tornadoes racked the Southeast.  NORMALLY, tornado season in the area of the nation is SPRING, not autumn with winter five weeks away.

Six people died in the southeast USA yesterday.  Millions if not billions of dollars in damage and disrupted lives occurred. 

Why?

A three year old child is dead today.  A three year old child's death due to a CLIMATE CHANGE tornado should make an impression on people and our political leaders. 

Why, isn't it making an impression on Republicans that represent these states in Congress?

A three year old North Carolinian child means nothing to Senator Burr, House Representative Renee Ellmers, Walter Jones, Virginia Foxx, Howard Coble and Patrick McHenry. 

The scientists in North Carolina are among the most presitious in the world from Duke, NC State and UNCW, just to name a few.  They have educated the State Legislature about the Climate Crisis.  Under the previous Democratic Governor there were strides made in recognition of this climate danger, yet, the Republicans from North Carolina in the Federal Government can't seem to get their minds around this reality.

A three year old child is dead today because of the Climate Crisis and Republicans in the federal government are pandering to the petroleum industry.

Two Dead After Line Of Storms Move Through Central North Carolina (click here for video)

5:01 PM, Nov 17, 2011

Triad, NC -- Two people are dead and several injured in Davidson County after a tornado hit the county Wednesday evening.

Family members say 50-year-old Janice Shaw and her 3-year-old granddaughter Azlyn Shaw died from injuries related to the storm.  The Shaws lived on Meadow Run Lane, near Burkhart Road.

The National Weather Service said the tornado is at least an "upper end" EF2 with winds around 130 mph.  The path of the storm is estimated to be 8 miles long and 200 yards wide....

The current report is a young man was 'clubbed' by police causing an injury to his head that resulted in bleeding.  The protesters have video of the blood spots on the ground as to where it happened.

There are reports of police being injured with a liquid substance; up to four officers.  That is not a good thing.  The incidents where injury occurs on either side causes escalation of fear of each other and results in greater force being applied to oppose each other.  That is a 'impetus' to increasing dangerous behaviors.  I do not approve of either the police or the protesters using injurious force against each other.  Next thing that happens are guns, etc., and they we are off to the races.

There cannot be escalation by either side.  The protesters are sincerely upset by the blood on the pavement.  NO retaliation by either side.  There are no enemies here, there is however justice being sought by protesters that are witnessing an entire generation unemployed.

No eacalation of fear of each other and no retaliation.  None.  Justice must prevail, not violence.

How many City Cops have their young adult children unemployed?  The number is not zero.  They know.

President Obama needs to remind Indonesia how loved their country's preservation efforts are by many in the USA.

The rarely encountered marbled cat. Photo by: WWF-Indonesia 

...The five cat species (click title to entry - thank you) documented in the forest corridor represent a wide-range of threat levels according to the IUCN Red List: the Sumatran tiger (Critically Endangered), the Sunda clouded leopard (Endangered), the marbled cat (Vulnerable), the Asian golden cat (Near Threatened), and the leopard cat (Least Concern).

"Four of these species [leaving out the leopard cat] are protected by Indonesian Government regulations," said Karmila Parakkasi, coordinator of the WWF-Indonesia Tiger Research Team. "This underscores the rich biodiversity of the Bukit Tigapuluh landscape and the forest corridors that connect to it. These amazing cat photos also remind us of how much we could lose as more of these fragile forests are lost."

While five cat species in one forest is hugely notable, the largest number of cat species recorded in a single habitat is seven from a forest in India that recently gained protection.

Bayunanda says the presence of these cats should make the Indonesian government act to save the forest....

The IUCN Red List is recognized internationally.  There are far, far to many species already on its 'extinct' list.

The alternative energy company Solyndra and their troubles are not a 'Big Deal.'

The fact of the matter is the SUBSIDIES paid to oil companies could be stopped and used to FUND the Alternative Energy Loan Program.


Alternative Energy Programs have to be politically protected.  The Office of the President was absolutlely correct in delaying the vicious attacks of the Political "Petroleum Industry Bought and Sold" Right Wing of the USA. 


Programs that involve alternative energy technologies have been UNDERFUNDED for decades in favor of dangerous petroleum industry technologies such as oil sands extraction and hydraulic fracturing. 


The Democrats are usuall the party of CONSCIENCE when it comes to issue of the environment and cutting edge technology development, so what is the problem with defending the DOE and their policies with Solyndra.  Dr. Chu is not political hack or a stupid man that plays with fire.  Quite the contrary, he is attempting to faciliate decades of abuse of Republican administrations to an industry direly needed in the USA.

I have said this before and I'll say it again over and over and over, the alternative energy industry requires FOSTERING and any failure of the industry to prosper and thrive needs investigation and legislative intervention to provide the foothold it needs to develop American Made Energy that does not POLLUTE and endanger the environment.


Get over it!!!!!!!!!!!  Is everyone a complete coward regarding WHAT IS BEST FOR THE USA?

The Alternative !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I mean really now.  Reagan had the Super Collider and Bush had Yucca.  Huh?

Isn't it time the USA Senate and House stop wasting valuable time and money on technologies that simply aren't healthy for the American people and make the correct and best investments?

Yucca Mountain is located about 90 miles northwest of Las Vegas. (click here)


Republican Sen. Mark Kirk of Illinois dropped on Wednesday his amendment to block any funds from being used to shutter the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository — an order that would have effectively led to its redevelopment.
Cue the scramble by the Nevada delegation for who gets to take credit — which got so frenzied that even Kirk decided, of his own rather curious volition, to weigh in....

Cover Yucca with Solyndra panels and call it a day!  I am quite sure Chu can make it happen and be profitable.

The States in increasing number require our Seniors to retest in order to maintain their driver's license, hence Photo ID.

There needs to be federal legislation to begin to REQUIRE those Social Security recipients that have no photo ID or have been refused Driver's License to carry Social Security Cards with Photo ID.

The Social Security Administration goes through great length to serve our Seniors.  They even make House Calls to assist in issues pertaining to benefits.  I don't know why a positive ID in this age of voter suppression and identity theft can't be provided to Social Security Recipients that have no other method of identification.  Times are changing and the Social Security Administration has to change with them.  Their Social Workers could easy carry digital cameras, without any fancy back drop, to any recipient that has lost their driver's license and has no other method of proof of ID.

The States on the other hand, should extend ID priviledges to any former Driver License holder in providing a Photo ID at the time of retesting regardless of success of the Senior in maintaining their priviledge to drive.  The Photo ID should be issued at the very same day of their testing.

"Bloomberg's Finest" are protecting the Wall Street Wealth Merchants from what exactly?

Most of the folks within the INSTITUTION of Wall Street carry weapons.  The protesters DON'T.

Occupy Wall Street hits 2-month mark, launches 'day of action' (click title to entry - thank you)

November 17, 2011 |  5:40 am

REPORTING FROM NEW YORK --  Occupy Wall Street vowed to mark the two-month anniversary of its protests with a "day of action" today, beginning with a march to the heart of the financial district -- the New York Stock Exchange -- that drew hundreds of chanting, sign-waving supporters to lower Manhattan.
By 8 a.m., demonstrators had gathered near Zuccotti Park, their former encampment, chanting "All day, all week, Occupy Wall Street!" as they prepared to march the few blocks to the stock exchange. Later, they vowed to occupy about 16 subway stations before carrying their protest to Foley Square outside Manhattan's courthouses.

But scores of police blanketed the area near Zuccotti Park, setting the scene for possible clashes similar to those that have led to hundreds of arrests in past demonstrations. Tensions were especially high in the wake of Tuesday morning's surprise police raid of Zuccotti Park, which dismantled Occupy Wall Street's 2-month-old tent city there. A judge has ruled the city had the right to prevent marchers from camping there, forcing protesters to spend their nights elsewhere.

Kristin Gardner, 46, a former teacher, carried a sign that read "40,000 in student loans where's my bailout." She said she didn't know what would become of the movement, but added, "I hope we make a statement to our government that changes the focus of what is important."...

Protesters can't afford concealed carry weapons.  They can't even afford the food and medical attention and medicine they need to maintain their health, yet alone concealed carry.  For the 99% Pawn Shops are their best friend and they ain't purchasing.

House Passes Concealed Carry Gun Bill (click here)

By   Brian Montopoli

The House of Representatives passed a measure Wednesday that would make a permit to carry a concealed firearm from one state valid in any state that allows citizens to carry concealed weapons. The vote was 272 to 154.

The National Rifle Association-backed measure had the backing of the vast majority of Republicans along with a coalition of pro-gun rights Democrats.

A matching bill has not been brought forward in the Democrat-led Senate. But gun rights advocates have previously nearly-successfully attempted to attach a similar measure to unrelated legislation.

Every state except Illinois and the District of Columbia allow residents to carry concealed weapons, the Associated Press reports, but states have varying standards for issuing permits to do so....

I want any tainted 'Curveball' evidence in the IAEA report removed and the contest of Iran given brevity.

Russia:  Iran owes money on plant (click here)

Europe has more at stake, including Russia and China, than the USA in regard to nuclear weapons in Iran.  The Iranian missile capacity is significant.  The brevity of this group of nations should be obvious and will result in final analysis of the evidence regarding the THREAT of Iran's program. 

Israel has an ongoing relationship with Russia and Europe.  This is not a process that will likely fail.

Foreign Minister (click here) Ali Akbar Salehi says the Islamic Republic is holding negotiations with Russia to find a solution to the dispute between Tehran and the West over Iran’s nuclear program....

Russia and China are opposing sanctions with Iran.  Their opinion matters.  The USA has a history now of being an aggressor nation in the Middle East.  The fact there are other nuclear nations opposing the evidence of the IAEA and willing to back it up brings about a brevity that is a pre-cursor to a larger opposition of any aggressions of Israel and the USA.  These circumstances are not a joke and Iran will not be another Iraq.

The EVIDENCE validation process and a joint dossier is important and carries far reaching implications that will cause the USA's Neocons to sit back on their hunches and realize they don't have carte blanc to invade or attack Iran.

VIENNA, November 17 (RIA Novosti)

A group (click title to entry - thank you) of international mediators on Iran is planning to present a draft resolution on Iran’s nuclear dossier to the International Atomic Energy Agency Board of Governors, a source said on Thursday.

The resolution is “well balanced,” he said, adding that Russia seeks to intensify dialog between the agency and Iran.

Russia has lately proposed a strategy for “restoring trust in relation to Iran’s nuclear program based on principles of reciprocity and gradualism,” the source said.
The Iran Six, including Russia, the United States, China, Britain, France and Germany, have been trying since 2003 to convince Iran to halt its uranium enrichment program....
