Hard-hitting words from US Senator Russ Feingold, March 13th
posted by seti at 2006-03-20 10:54

j_blogs: March 13, 2006. WTF? Today is 20th. Bush is still there.
j_blogs: war of aggression, for profit: nada. torture and indefinite imprisonment without trial: nix, nothing. tapping some phones: impeachment. USA, you suck.
seti: this "legal grey area" excuse is way too powerful, if you ask me. Here is some ammo to defuse that argument in this particular case.
seti: basically it all comes down to: towelheads < americans
j_blogs: subimpeachment anyway.
j_blogs: USA, you suck MORE.
j_blogs: except for Russ Feingold.
seti: I am not grokking this "Commander-in-Chief" argument. it makes the president C-in-C over the armed forces, not over the whole populace of the country, not even in wartime. so why bring it up as excuse in this case?
seti: "The important thing now is not to investigate President Bush, but to stop him."
seti: "Senator Russell D. Feingold, the Wisconsin Democrat, is doing his job responsibly in calling for censure of our lawbreaking president." AMEN! Apparently no respectable journalist dares to utter these words; luckily some citizens still dare to write and send them in.

Factory farming source of Bird Flu?
posted by j_blogs at 2006-03-20 06:59

j_blogs: yet officials are quick to condemn small holders
j_blogs: "governments and international agencies, following mistaken assumptions about how the disease spreads and amplifies, are pursuing measures to force poultry indoors and further industrialise the poultry sector."
j_blogs: "We cannot control migratory birds but we can surely work hard to close down as many backyard farms as possible," said Margaret Say, Southeast Asian director for the USA Poultry and Egg Export Council.
j_blogs: other coverage
j_blogs: difficult to believe one of the more serious proposals for solving bird flu is to replace the entire world's aviary stock with a single breed, albeit one genetically modified to be resistant to bird flu
j_blogs: monoculture == disease, you stupid fucks
j_blogs: then again, maybe they know that already
j_blogs: essay by someone who claims to have had server damaged by US Navy Bethesda (which happens to be the same town where an awful lot of the world's bio-research is done ..http://www.nih.gov and it's spitting distance to every other US Fed agency in Washington)
j_blogs: of course the Navy was probably hacked too, right ..
j_blogs: of course, the guy could be wrong
j_blogs: I think he's right about this though: "avian flu is said to have killed 'about 65 people' in Southeast Asia during the past two years .. Conversely, other forms of flu kill more than 40,000 North Americans annually"
j_blogs: for this, more than 140 million birds have died or been destroyed
j_blogs: just in europe, I think .. 140 million birds for 65 humans deaths .. vs tens of thousands of deaths for any normal strain of flu anyway .. ?
j_blogs: like, wtf?
j_blogs: hellooo? it's not even transmissible between humans .. you have to consume uncooked infected bird detritis to get it
j_blogs: here's my conspiracy theory: it sells papers.
j_blogs: Oh! Here's a lovely one: "Earlier that century, John D. Rockefeller joined Prescott Bush and the British Royal Family in sponsoring the eugenics initiatives that gave rise to Hitler's racial hygiene programs."
j_blogs: I wanna read that twice: "Earlier that century, John D. Rockefeller joined Prescott Bush and the British Royal Family in sponsoring the eugenics initiatives that gave rise to Hitler's racial hygiene programs."
j_blogs: btw, all the major pharmaceutical companies grew out of WWI WMD research
j_blogs: see A Higher Form of Killing : amazon | namebase entry
j_blogs: yes, that Jeremy Paxman
