Reps. Maloney, Grijalva and Sen. Whitehouse Introduce Legislation to Protect Pristine Northern Rockies Ecosystem

WASHINGTON – To protect a major pristine ecosystem in the Northern Rockies that is currently under threat from logging and other industrial activities, Representative Carolyn B. Maloney (NY-12) and House Committee on Natural Resources Ranking Member Raúl Grijalva (AZ-3), along with Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), introduced the Northern Rockies Ecosystem Protection Act (NREPA) today in both the House and Senate. The bill would designate 23 million acres of America’s premiere road-less lands in five states; Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, Oregon and Washington, as permanent wilderness. It would also designate nearly 1,800 miles of rivers and streams as wild and scenic rivers.

For the first time, NREPA has been introduced with companion legislation in the Senate.

Our “republican” form of government, or our (representative) democracy, if you prefer, is inconsistent with neo-liberal economics.  You can have one or the other, but not both, simultaneously.

According to the MSM, “we’re facing another government shut-down.”

Is that so?  Why is that so?  Almost every member of Congress, all 535 members, is sworn to implement one or more of the principles of neo-liberal economics. Austerity measures are attempts to take a meat ax to government spending in an alleged effort to “control the deficit” and “pay down the national debt.”

“In short, the whole business of creating psychiatric categories of ‘disease,’ formalizing them with consensus, and subsequently ascribing diagnostic codes to them, which in turn leads to their use for insurance billing, is nothing but an extended racket furnishing psychiatry a pseudo-scientific aura. The perpetrators are, of course, feeding at the public trough.” (Dr. Thomas Dorman, a member of the Royal College of Physicians of the United Kingdom and Canada)

I just got done with Pseudoscience: Psychiatry’s False Diagnoses. It is a 30-page report, meaning that anyone diagnosed with “ADD” (Attention Deficit Disorder”) or “ADHD” (add “Hyperactive”) will not have the necessary attention span to get through. That’s too bad, since these folks have been diagnosed (and likely drugged) for something that does not even exist.

Statistics show that 6.4 million of our kids have this “disorder,” and the psychiatrists do not stop there – they say if the kids have it, the parents probably do too.

San Francisco, CA – On Monday, April 17th the United States Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals denied Plaintiff’s emergency motion requesting injunctive relief – access to Montana’s May 25 Special Election ballot for U.S. Representative.

Today, in response to the ruling, Montana Green Party candidate, Thomas Breck, and Independent candidates Steve Kelly and Doug Campbell, will continue to fight to get on the ballot.  Plaintiffs filed an emergency application for an injunction at the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS).

Not long ago I read William Greider’s Secrets of the Temple: How the Federal Reserve Runs the Count­ry (1989). I had read it in the early 1990s, but really didn’t fully understand the story’s implications at that time. Hard to say why I missed some really solid connections to the power of money, the power of the Federal Reserve, and the half-truths and outright lies that many of us have lived with for generations.  We’ve all heard it from politicians and talking heads on the TV. “Well, how are we going to pay for that?”  “You’ll have to raise taxes.” After a second thought, here’s my take on it.

Political Hallucinogens

If JFK was ticketed for an early exit, what was the point of his election at all? His chief rival Richard Nixon was eventually installed, so why didn’t the powers that be just install Nixon in 1960? Why wait eight years?

One reason to delay Nixon was that although he was portrayed as electable given how close the votes were reported to be, he also came with a pile of suspicious baggage gathered during his time as Vice President under President Eisenhower. To let Nixon cool his heels for a time would allow the air to clear somewhat. He was destined to be used as a lightning rod of division and his personality was more conducive to riding herd over the systematic dismantling of the culture when the time came. A Nixon implosion in, say, 1966 would be too early to fully decimate the old values that the licentiousness of “the sixties” was to replace. By the time he did implode, the Vietnam War he was ordered to expand and continue as long as possible, as well as the complete breakdown of the family structure that came in the wake of the propagation of the sex, drug, and rock and roll lifestyle, his collapse took the integrity of the government down with him and with that the last signpost that anyone could measure their own civic obligations by crumbled to dust.

I am experiencing something that all CPAs know about … spring. I don’t do near the volume of work I once did, but even so have been bogged down in accounting-style work lately. But it is done now, and the weather outside is nice, the place is greening up, the smell of the mountains is intoxicating. Every CPA in the country is having similar feelings now, even those in the boroughs of New York. It’s almost over, for a year anyway. It is spring.

I have been feeling new energy, and want to get back into the work we were doing before the Mathis attack, before we lost Straight. I still have off to the side here the lists we were working on of potential candidates for fake death and reincarnation, lifetime actors as they call them over at Gnostic Media, or “Zombies.” This is the work that draws the most skepticism from readers, and the work that convinced me that this world just isn’t what we think it is. As the bumper stick says, everything we know is wrong.

I have a couple of matters to clear off the platter, and then will dive in again, re-examining old work with better technology and bringing some new stuff to light.
