'A giant millenial-aged sequoia starts from a seed the size of a fingernail clipping,' said some guy, on The Colbert Rappore; "If ye have faith even as big as a mustard seed it shall grow into that fig tree," said One guy on a cross.

Jul 14 07 "We have declared war on poverty, we have declared war on illiteracy, we have declared war on tyranny, and aggression," said LBJ, in one of his memorable speeches about the state of US society circa 1966. By the way, he lost on all three. LBJ died in 1973. Today in Texas they laid his wife Lady Bird to rest: CTV.CA"Her casket was later placed in the exact location in the Johnson library where her husband's casket rested after his death in 1973. About 600 admirers were waiting in the Texas heat when the library's doors opened Friday afternoon. The first person to file past the casket wiped a tear from her eye as she left the building. "I'm very honored. What a neat lady," said Mary Vidani, 57, who lives near Austin. "I had to be here. I always wanted to meet her and shake her hand and this is as close as I could get." Saturday's funeral service was invitation-only, but was scheduled to be televised. The former first lady will be buried Sunday next to her husband at the LBJ Ranch."

Jun 29 07 - The new i-phone comes out today so we must brace ourselves for another long campaign eye-ball stretching, mind boggling, ear smashing commericials that will eventually morph into catchy pop-hit tunes in a sort of back-assward reverse of the usual that makes this so 21st century and not at all like the 20th century and especially not the 19th century.

Another assassination in Lebanon and Salam Fayyad appointed the new Palestinian Prime Mininster. If you are asking yourself, 'Did Mr Fayyad say, "Civilians should not have weapons,'" you aren't alone. Those guys shooting the seemingless endless rounds of ak-47 fire into the air (presumably in the direction of Israel) are civilians. Nobody is sure whose civilians they are, especially shooting up their own or neighbouring countries, but neither do I think they should have guns. Maybe they will become civilians if the guns disappear. Meanwhile, over in Lebanon, another member of the Lebanese government was assassinated this week. This makes three Lebanese government members who opposed Syria who died in the past few months. The leaders of that unfortunate country must have trouble getting traction in the blood of their own peers. In Lebanon assassination is an Olympic event.

(ATLANTA, GEORGIA Jun 25 07) Christopher Michael Benoit (May 21, 1967 - June 25, 2007) was a Canadian professional wrestler who performed in the major rings for almost two decades, an (unofficially) adopted son of the famous Hart wrestling family of Calgary, Alberta. Benoit was found today, Mon., Jun 25 07, dead in his home, "along with his wife, Nancy and his son, Daniel," said the 'instant' report placed on Wikipedia. No information is available at this time, and the house that is site of the deaths is under investigation by Georgia state police.

Jun 20 07 - THREE PPCLI KILLED - CANADIAN SOLDIERS FELLED WITH IED (Improvised Explosive Device), WHILE CANADIAN AND NATO FORCES ENGAGE IN 'FIERCE' FOUR HOUR FIREFIGHT WITH TALIBHAN SOUTH OF KANDAHAR Three Canadian soldiers fell today in Afghanistan, on a 'resupply mission' driving an ATV (All Terrain Vehicle), over well-traveled pathways, yet, death was delivered by IED, in what amounts to a completely surreptitious attack, while other Canadian units engaged in a four-hour gun battle, sustaining minor injuries and inflicting 15 dead on the enemy. (FOOTAGE AVAILABLE AT THE CBC) The BBC reported Talibhan are engaged in "an intense effort to adapt more deadly tactics." The BBC report said, homemade bombs are being used, "crude but lethal." The tactics involve, "More exposed targets," especially since US forces started patrolling the area. It seems after the number of reports Talibs are increasing attacks, fighting by homemade explosions near police checkpoints and other 'choke' points. The lethal attack on Canadians today was off the road. ATVs are used to resupply posts, and between these posts are tracks or trails wide enough for the ubiquitous Afghan donkey, and sometimes a small off-road vehicle. These are 'exposed' targets, and the Madrassahs of Pakistan are responsible for sending the fighters refitted to liberate a nation "full of infidels," the fighters, assured, "of going straight to heaven where we have anything we want." The Canadians have lost 52 in Afghanistan in about three years; the US lost 50 so far this year (they have 17,000 troops in Afghanistan). The Talibhan are more organized than usual, say the reports, and a police chief was killed today by roadside bomb. By all reports the level of activity is growing and changing, and the 'exposure' in the country is an invitation to the Talibs to be included in one of these daily encounters with attack. NATO is battling, and the "US has overwhelming advantage in technology," but Talibs are failing to gather in numbers, preferring to go further 'undercover' with the insurgency. The Afghan government has to change life on the ground, by doing more community work, and so forth, ended the report.

Jun 18 07 - It's four in the morning, you're watching the news, and suddenly it strikes you, "I wanna Raise Alpacas!" but I want mine to have SIX legs. That's two more than usual. Cool huh.

Jun 16 07 - Organ donations in Canada are the lowest of all the industrialized nations, said the CBC today. A lot of organizations believe this organ selfish nation needs a wake-up call and people should stop looking askance at those Non Resusitation and Organ Donation check boxes.

Thousands of organs are required by Canadians, and transplantation research has exceeded all expectations in that medical advances make success vastly more likely, practically assured. (The need for the drugs remains ongoing for the rest of the recipient's life. ) Technologies, experts, and recipients abound. The thing missing in the Canadian situation is the organs.

In Apr '07 the World Health Organization heard an argument about organ transplantation in need of world wide ethical guidelines. That is because Canadians may be unwilling to donate, but if they have the money and a passport, they can buy organs elsewhere. The WHO is striking a committee to deal with such an issue, the increase of so-called 'transplant tourism.'

WHO said, up to 10 percent of the current number of transplants may be commercial transactions involving cash-poor organ 'sellers' giving up a kidney, a lung, (or half a liver someday) for money. By the numbers cadavers are failing to provide the number of human organs in demand for transplant.

Suddenly in May came a peculiar announcement in western Europe about a television show throwing up kidney donation in a competition on the scale of a hallucination, until they announced it was a hoax. Whew, it was a hoax, everybody heard, and the television 'production' later apologised or admitted the effort was made to draw attention to organ donation, break through the present taboos and mores of society.

Organs have value and it's not just an urban myth. What if the organization around organ use took a different ethical directions? Could organ harvesting grow into a thriving business? What is so wrong with the idea of organ donation for money?

A story appeared last year that came from Colorado with a frankly enlightened proposal about the use of peoples organs, and their own decisions on their destiny. This focus on organs involves Organ Swap Inc., a non-profit corporation helping organ transplant candidates identify potential recipient-donor pairs that may be suitable for a Paired Kidney Exchange.

The organization is answering the question of why not organ swapping? Thousands of people await a kidney and the kidneys of the bodies in Canada's morgues are not available to satisfy transplant needs. The 'organ'ization calls for alternatives to fulfill transplants. "Paired Kidney Exchange program is one such alternative program."

At Organ Swap Inc.'s website they say, it "is a non profit corporation registered under the laws of the state of Colorado, USA," and answer all the usual questions, in their FAQ, including a four-point answer to how organ swapping occurs, revolving around this crucial step:

"Donors that are willing to donate for the benefit of the patient but not a match to the patient themselves. They are also willing to be a living donor to a third person so that another donor will donate an organ to this patient." They also say: "The fact is that there are not enough cadaver kidneys available to satisfy transplant needs today. Therefore we need to have alternatives available to fulfill the needs of transplant patients. Paired Kidney Exchange program is one such alternative program. It utilizes otherwise unusable live-donor kidneys by identifying a set of recipient-donor pairs to exchange the donor kidney for the mutual benefit of two recipients. This could be for two pairs or more than two pairs. This could also be extended for any organ."

Jun 14 07 The superstar who gets NO RESPECT closed the deal on yet another NBA title. Tim Duncan has led the San Antonio Spurs to a fourth title, in four straight, over the Cleveland Cavs with Lebron James (in his first visit to the finals, more to come). Tim gets no respect because watching the Spurs is boring. He didn't even get a foul tonight until the fourth quarter. The final score was 83-82, the absolute minimum score required to win an NBA Final Game (it's in the rule book). Sometimes the score looked like it was clocking backwards in the final. They don't score so much as stop the scoring. They are defense oriented and very good at it. The other thing the Spurs do is win when nobody else wants it. So, this year the Spurs are the winners by dint of everybody else losing. Still, they are a great team and always threaten.

Jun 13 07 - I don't think the traditional western media can figure out the Russians. Apparently they are just Finns with attitude. Watch tonight on The National, new story about Litvenenko and the Russians, or see report here and look for the latest from Don Murray.

Jun 12 07 - FEATURING ANNOUNCEMENT ON NEW MONEY FOR LAND CLAIMS

Jun 11 07 - Happy Birthday to you happy birthday to you. Derek McColl reports from Seoul, Korea, that he is now officially AN ALIEN and can arrange the equipment and so forth to make his web dialogue HUM with interesting news. It's reasonably up to date already and there is more to come.

(Jun 09 07) After almost 800 US casualties in Iraq in May 2007, it was no surprise the focus was elsewhere this weekend, including on Bill Moyers on PBS. Change is good, even though it was change to bad news somewhere else. Bill interviewed a US critic of the war in Afghanistan, Christian Parenti, an author who examines the angle on 17,000 US troops in Afghanistan with a critical eye not unlike Canadian journalist Arthur Kent. Parenti replied, about his fourth visit, "No, each time I go there it becomes less safe. The Talibhan control more and more territory." He said the Talibhan have maintained a default public support due to the Karzai regime's failure to control corruption. He called it the "most corrupt institution on the planet," and a "failed narco state (that harbours terrorists)." (What state out there might constitute a successful narco state?) Parenti noted Afghan cities are zones of containment of hostilities, "biweekly suicide bombings," and, are providing a form of relative stability (sites of the democratic facade rising from the rubble). Parenti described the rampant corruption of these communities, however, "Police men pay to become cops to gain access to the shakedown." He said government departments work by bribing each other, and the situation is worse than ever. He lost a friend, recently, an Afghan journalist, who was mistakenly interceding with Talib's, upon deciding, "When you're a Talibhan you have to grow a beard, pray five times a day," but you don't have to navigate through the day paying off everything that moves. Parenti's friend was beheaded in Helmond province after Talibs captured he and another (Italian) journalist. Karzai government corruption is a scene of two steps forward and a whole lot of steps back, more, no, more, more steps back please, keep counting. They are paving several major roads and some cities have service sectors, but "most of the country's 28 million mostly don't have access to the development." Parenti loves the place, which is why he made four different journeys to Afghanistan and publishes books and articles, but he recognizes the differences totally, Throughout Afghan culture women are not to be acknowledged, and "that is the polite thing to do." You watch as adolescent males shoo women out of the way to be hidden away when strangers pass, not to be seen. After these four trips made to take it in from the US perspective, "People are genuinely confused about what is acually happening on the ground." Outside relatively safe cities is a state of lawlessness and opium fueled warfare, he concludes.

The brings to mind a good theme for a satiric effort of some kind: A summit of failed Narco States: A kind of twisted sister of the G-8, starring Afghanistan. Other famous players, the aging South American beauty, uh, you remember, she had an affair with that bag of hammers Noreiga, and almost ruined Bush family designs on the White House? What was her name? [Examples of SUCCESSFUL NARCO STATES? Hmmm, How 'bout Switzerland?]

Just to set the kids straight about the business of butterflies out over the Pacific beating their wings and causing typhoons, NO. Doesn't happen. Butterflies don't fly out there, ever. Maybe a few get blown off Hawaii. They don't fly over the Atlantic, and they don't cause hurricanes and typhoons. They don't change weather patterns, they don't consume the same amount of oxygen in one hour as the whole human race does by breathing (a la one jet aircraft scooting into the air and beating its wings over the Pacific).

(Jun 08 07) He is esconced in Korea and living in the government neighbourhood, upscale in any country, "I am going to Costco. It was payday today. I want to fill the fridge." He is accompanied by two co-workers, the job is writing and editing, and it is keeping him busy. I am listening an absorbing pace during the taxi ride in the city of 15 million. He tells me, this slice of Korea is lived in a dramatically different neighbourhood compared to that of the past few years in Taiwan, and better than the previous year spent half a decade ago down near Pusan. I sense this Seoul moves at a different pace than Taiwan. Indeed the taxi ride is a demanding ordeal from the sounds of it. Part of it must be the newness and strangeness of the city, Seoul. Oh oh, "Here’s the Costco, Gotta GO!"

Poor Paris Hilton might prefer to take a shiv instead of all this media hype about leaving prison early. Or is it the attention that matters and this is attention? People should realize Paris Hilton stands a serious chance of injury or death in a US prison. Think about it. This woman is in NO WAY equipped to deal with prison, even if the prison was one of those 'country club' joints, which apparently it was not, or, even so, who does the laundry? Paris Hilton doesn't belong in prison. Even if she went around lopping off heads and cursing the damned peasants, after lopping off their heads, she wouldn't belong in prison.

Jun 07 07 - In a few ways, each day, reports from Afghanistan are enough to twist your mind. The other day a woman journalist in a city north of Kabul was shot to death in her bed with her own seven children wallowing in the horror, as they pumped her head with too many shots to count. The authorities, the ruling class, let this one go. They let all them go, and the body count of journalists far surpasses some of the NATO deployed ISAF nations for losses. Visit Arthur Kent's website (as noted above) to quickly reach the same conclusion about the direction this place is taking. Then, today, the National Post published it: "Soldiers are employing a 'fraction' of the artillery and air strikes," and, the report said, the ISAF battle groups are depending, "more on intelligence." (Say it three times in a row, please, to join the dependency.)

Wishing the NP stopped there, "A few months ago, snipers at a forward operating base asked the commanding officer for permission to shoot an Afghan man digging a hole in the road," and, "It turned out he was a farmer draining water off the road," said the NP report, and ,"I would probably say there have been 90 or 100 similar incidents," reported Cdn Col Mike Cessford. Lesson, if you carry a shovel in Afghanistan, duck.

(JUN 06 07) TANK MAN STILL DISAPPEARED 18 years after the event. On Jun 04 89, in Tiannammen Square, appeared the tank man, a prelude to a massacre. On the anniversary this week, on FRONTLINE PBS, for example, they described a much-changed China in the aftermath, and still, strange dynamics in what we see today; one expert observer, called it "like a quake zone of a thousand fault lines." There is China A and China B. First, China B, a disenchanted underclasse mob of massive proportions. PBS reported, 85,000 demonstrations in 2005 (and those are the ones recorded by the authorities). Challenges for an authoritarian state are immense, said another expert. It is quite difficult to control the flow of information in a state of that size, unless there's qualified assistance. While at the same time expert opinion discerns deeply troubling problems, "We know journalist Shi Tao has been arrested for forwarding government instructions how to deal with media coverage of the 16th anniversry of the Tiannamen Square massacre," resulting in a recent conviction including a ten year sentence.

CBCtheHOUR Jun 04 07 - Marina Namet was born to a Christian family, in 1965, in Iran, and lived in Tehran during the return of Ayatollah Khomeni and the Islamic Revolution, whereupon at the age of 16 she was sent to the same prison in Tehran where Zahara Kazemi was killed in 2003. [CBC contains background, that said, “Kazemi is arrested while taking photographs outside Evin prison in Tehran during student-led protests.” Nearly three weeks after she was arrested, Kazemi died, July 11, 2003, following what her family declares was a brutal and fatal interrogation.]

Marina went through her own experience long before Kazemi was killed, and appeared, with George S on CBCTheHOUR, to discuss her new book, Prisoner of Tehran. She told George about being lashed in the prison and led under blindfold, “to the middle of nowhere.” She saw wooden poles sticking out of the ground, was tied to the post, and escaped a firing squad at the behest of an interrogator. She told George about a situation with a swollen prison population and authorities committed to clearing the glut. How did Marina end up in this nightmare? Two years earlier she had been pinpointed after demanding normal algebra classes instead of the droning 6 to 7 hours a day of Koranic studies introduced by the Islamic Revolution.

This deviation toward secular interests from a 14 year old girl in a Tehran school would definitely be a threat to the revolution. Execution was commuted to life in prison, and 5 months later she was forced into marriage of the interrogator. She ended up in a forced marriage, which ensued, because if she refused the man would kill her family. It was a terribly confusing, “When I was growing up (a Christian) Iran was a pretty good place,” and she described, “a complex country with wonderful people,” who defend Iran despite the terrible difficulties of living in it.

Many Iranians object to her remonstrance (the book), “a process I started the day I walked out of prison." It became Marina’s way of crawling away from the dark corners of her mind, and was a process done quietly, apart from family, her kids, after she came to Canada. She believes the story as necessary to recount as the experiences of Anne Frank, personal accounts left unsaid would mean nobody knowing of these travesties. She feels like a perfect witness who lived to tell the story about an evil prison system in Iran.

"Neither melamine nor cyanuric acid, a chemical commonly used in pool chlorination, have been thought to be particularly toxic by themselves. The current hypothesis is that, although these contaminants are not very toxic individually, their potency appears to be increased when they are present together." CFIA (Canada Food Inspection Agency) announced Fri., May 25 07, they intercepted a shipment of melamine and cyranic acid tainted wheat gluten from China. For an up-to-date report on the problem, including the molecular science being employed to determine the present threat, visit here.

It is interesting we don't consult them because the grassroots of recycling are garbagemen. They stand at the very beginning of the situation. I bet they know a lot about separating wheat from chafe and we never ask them.

(May 26 07)Cathay! is presently putting the past behind one Fang Yonggang at a time. In fact, the dictionary should have a picture of Fang beside ‘determination,’ for Fang argues on behalf of Communism in China. He is what the state apparatchiks call a hero. A hero indeed, for Fang has given hundreds of speeches in recent years to explain the party’s role in the very non-Comecon economy buzzing through Asia’s Middle Kingdom (China). Washington Post

Regarding Afghanistan, "I was there for Mountain Thrust, Medusa and the whole nine yards," explained Maj. Chris Adams, the incoming commander of Edmonton-based B Squadron, Lord Strathcona's Horse (Royal Canadians) armoured regiment. He noted in the media that it does get nerve-racking, "But professionally speaking, I really do want to go back again. My last job was a desk job and what I was trained to do is what I am about to do - lead a squadron of tanks in combat. It's an opportunity of a lifetime," and who wouldn't see it that way. Put into proper context, the major was discussing new Leopard tanks not lust for battle.

(May 25 07) Toronto school killer still on the loose: Toronto’s Jane and Finch streets lie to the west of downtown, and look much like any other street in Canada, and this invisibility has made poverty disappear for everybody but those who live there. Now a shooting in CW Jefferys Collegiate Institute high school has stunned the area of Jane and Finch. Apparently Jordan Manners was arguing outside the school shortly before he was found fatally shot in the hallway. A killer remains free after a couple of day’s investigation, in fact, no arrests have been made nor weapons found. It was Toronto's 26th murder in 2007 and 13th with a gun. The mayor of Toronto, David Miller, has decried the flow of handguns over the border from the USA. [Canada has seven million registered guns, including 1.2m handguns, closely restricted to police, gun clubs/collectors.

Connie Booth (do a google) was THE BRAIN behind Monty Python Flying Circus. (Eric Idle appeared with George S on the interview today.)She's an American who married John Cleese and introduced the boys to Terry Gilliam, and from there she wrote the seminal work of the troupe, made a couple of appearances, and later co-wrote and acted in Fawtly Towers, then left media and entered her profession of psychiatry. The power of this beautiful American woman was enormous, and unknown.

(May 20 07) Ken Rockman interviewed Linda McQuaig on Talk Politics on CPAC Sunday evening, regarding her new book, Holding the Bully’s Coat. McQuaig defined the war in Iraq as a sales job, and Canada’s involvement as following role, doing the bidding of two term wonder George W. Bush. She marvels at the reception of opponents who express views about the war, and she calls it Bushian to make dissenters into traitors, which is the ‘Bushian’ definition of internecine opponent, and it simply isn’t fair to characterize opponents as traitors for criticizing Canada’s or the United States conduct of war in the Middle East. McQuaig noted a discussion about impeachment follows recent accusations of war crimes. Nuremburg, she said, defined war crimes, first of all, with, “Starting of a war of aggression, it is one of the first grounds for prosecution on war crimes.” McQuaig was joined in this weekend roast of Bush foreign policy on Rockman by Lewis Lapham in the USA discussing impeachment of George W. Bush (which will never happen, according to knowledgeable resources). [Facilitator's note: My niece recently visited the US to attend a music festival where she heard an amazing amount of discussion about war crimes and Bush. It is disconcerting on many levels because Canadians are part of the Bush alliance with our engagement in battle in Afghanistan.] McQuaig also worries about a lack of interest in Canadian energy security. This, she said, exists in the face of badly conceived bilateral agreements like the Security and Prosperity Initiative, which are deals done like window dressing while secret meetings occur, including giveaways of energy, and oil, and access to water and other resources.

(May 18 07) We are back on-line, dear readers, and here is a five minute discourse on why the Dialogue for Development has taken place:

IF ANYBODY ASKS . . .

(Apr 20 07) The Private Sector Operational Intelligence Service was launched in the era of President Ronald Reagan Private intelligence services and corollary private armies "are to be 'fed' information by government intelligence services," because certain areas of operation had become untouchable by governments. Private companies (Blackwater, the Egmont Group, and many others) became legal entities under Reagan. Extraordinary rendition, torture, and general muckraking includes mundane business like protecting the assets of Paris Hilton's folks in New Orleans (proving they are legal to operate domestically like everywhere else), so the hotels and office towers don't get ransacked by the Ton-Ton-Macute from Haiti cruising by with freighters. These private companies are men in charge of stopping subversion before it gets too subversive. Recently publicity has been waving different flags, and a Blackwater security services expert was interviewed by George S on CBCtheHOUR. I poked around and to my amazement discovered the weapon of choice for Blackwater operatives is the AR-15, precursor to the M-16 of Vietnam era (it fires the same .223 cal. shell). If the U.S. Army had stuck with the "Airlite" AR-15 for their deployment of troops in Vietnam, by all reports from users in the field, the army never would have heard a single complaint from soldiers. (The US Marines deployed in Vietnam using the M-1 semi-automatic rifle.) Corporate troopers show up in numbers like 20,000 at a time, a division sized force, and several private divisions operate beside 125,000 US Armed Forces in Iraq. Private warlords were used a lot for heavy lifting by the Americans in Vietnam. It's really nothing new, and it's legal to be placing democracy's security in private hands. Does this mean national armies of democracy are nobodies rank and file, since they're not the ones protecting the real assets? The problem arises for people who used to love freedom when these 'corporate' armies and troopers act outside the rules of engagement imposed on armed forces (or law abiding citizens). [It is alleged this month that a private contract Team Leader named Jacob C. Washbourne, 'rode in the front passenger seat,' out of the 'Green Zone in Bagdhad, one day last July (06), and, the witness said, he seemed in a good mood. His vacation started the next day. "I want to kill somebody today," and records show, Washbourne did so several times that very day. [Washington Post]

Environmental legislation may never come to pass. Hon. John Baird debunked the retooled Clean Air Act and the government will ignore Pablo Rodreiguz' (Lib) private members bill (C-288) that calls for Canadian compliance to provisions of the Kyoto Accord. Pundits agreed Canadian parliamentarians will drop the debate about GhG, because the federal government will take a regulatory route on the environment instead. According to the government and Baird, who is supported in his argument by Don Drummond, TD Bank economist, the nation's economy could not sustain the passing the clean air law because a $195 per tonne carbon tax would ensue, to shove the economy into recession. It would vastly reduce economic output and increasing consumer fuel and electrical energy costs. Sen. Dennis Dawson, Lib, said the Clean Air and Climate Change Act is far from devastating and the cost of not acting is much higher. He added, previous environmental initiatives like the catalytic converters on cars and acid rain treaties caused unfounded fears of an economic collapse that never happened. Matthew Bramley of the Pembina Institute said the government is starting from a false premise: "Kyoto gives us the freedom to invest abroad and get credit for it in Canada," but our failures to comply to the accord hive us away from such opportunities. He said the government's premise for rejecting Kyoto is false and Canada is breaking international law, and the cost of dealing with climate change has to be developed in relation to the cost of not dealing with it: the consequences of climate change are reportedly catastrophic.

Virginians are launching an independent review about the murderous day of Apr 16 07 on the campus in Blacksburg.
