Corporate Cave-ins
Welcome to dystopia, folks.
Due to unjustified threats delivered by US Administration, many financial aid and multiple host sites have now pulled their services out from under WikiLeaks' just cause. Although the US claims the recent leaks to be illegal, there has yet to be one cable proven to threaten their national security. Corporations such as Visa, Amazon, Paypal and Mastercard are many of the misinformed. See link below for a timeline published by the Guardian (UK).

No Love, No Care
When asked in November about the number of elephants claimed by freight trains this past 2010 year, Minister for Environment and Forests, Jairam Ramesh said the government of Assam has recorded a total of only four deaths.
This comes after 7 elephants were killed in September 2010 alone where two baby elephants strayed onto the tracks as five elders followed behind in hopes of guiding them to safety (see photo above).
How many incidents such as these are organizations and/or governments failing to report? And why are the number of deaths being underreported?
On whether any speed limit would be fixed on the movement of trains along the elephant corridor, Mr. Ramesh said it was not possible to implement speed limits in the entire 160 km stretch of railway tract from Siliguri to Alipurduar. However, the Ministry of Railways have introduced a speed limit of 50 km per hour in two vulnerable sections falling in Mahananda and Chapramari wildlife sactuaries.

WORLD HISTORY
THIS IS SO SIGNIFICANT, IT WILL FOREVER BE A PART OF WORLD HISTORY.
Secret US Embassy Cables Leaked
The following documents will give people around the world an unprecedented insight into US Government foreign activities.
The cables, which date from 1966 up until the end of February this year, contain confidential communications between 274 embassies in countries throughout the world and the State Department in Washington DC. 15,652 of the cables are classified Secret.
The cables show the extent of US spying on its allies and the UN; turning a blind eye to corruption and human rights abuse in "client states"; backroom deals with supposedly neutral countries; lobbying for US corporations; and the measures US diplomats take to advance those who have access to them.

Infringement of Free Speech?
The Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act (COICA):
In the United States, a new law proposal called The Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act (COICA) was introduced this past September. If passed, this law will allow the American government, under the influence of corporate media, to censor the internet as they see fit. Similar to China and Iran, this will be a powerful tool used to censor information and keep the general public blind to websites such as WikiLeaks and other sources of information.

Quickly, we must get informed and begin to question why it is politicians are making decisions such as these without public consent. Google it.

Dirty Oil: Syncrude, Shell and Suncor Euthanize Canadian Wildlife
Oil giant Syncrude has cost the lives of approximately 2,000 birds. This comes after yet another death toll on October 25, 2010 when over 350 ducks landed on another tailing pond in northern Alberta.
Syncrude will be fined the maximum under the applicable federal and provincial laws: $300,000 for the federal charge and $500,000 for the provincial charge (which by the way is less than half the profits made on a daily basis by each Syncrude and her ugly sisters).
Syncrude spokeswoman Cheryl Robb responded by saying:
"Syncrude is eager to move forward from this incident. It's haunted us and it's something that we sincerely regret and have from the beginning."
Fuck you Cheryl. And your band of liars.
No vast amounts of money will recoup the lost lives of these 1,950 plus birds. Whether it's spilling millions of gallons of oil into the ocean or killing thousands of animals through further development of the tar sands/ oilsands, we refuse to listen to anymore rhetoric. Let's all be honest here, every time this sort of thing happens, the proper way to conduct procedure is an afterthought. Let's stop listening to corporate diplomats down-play their damage. Unfortunately, politicians in Canada are just as bad.
$3 million dollars in penalty is scraps for these folk and we need to start holding industry heads under their own oily waters.
-The Doctor
Syncrude faces one count under Section 155 of the Alberta Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act for allegedly failing to ensure that hazardous substances directly or indirectly not come into contact or contaminate any animals, plants, food or drink.
It is also charged with one count of violating the federal Migratory Birds Convention Act for allegedly depositing or permitting the deposit of a substance harmful to migratory birds in waters or an area frequented by birds.

Uganda's 'Gay List'
Earlier this month, Rolling Stone newspaper -- not affiliated with the U.S. magazine with the same name -- featured 100 pictures of Ugandan gays and lesbians. Next to the list was a yellow strip with the words "hang them."
READ MORE HERE
Uganda is likely to pass a law within months that will make homosexuality a capital offence, joining 37 other countries in the continent where American evangelical Christian groups are increasingly spreading bigotry (as usual).

Getting Wise
Mainstream media has remained in power far too long while setting their own rules without public consent (once again, the corporation dictates way too much). Take the Calgary Sun or Fox News as an example, they're a bloody tabloid sprinkled with current events and ulterior motives. For God sake, car dealership ads take up most of the spread (more money though -- right??). It's sad and ridiculous. News is hardly news anymore and the mainstream media better show signs of being much more adaptive because unlike our growing consciousness, they haven't.
We're getting wise.
No form of media should have the power to funnel information or sift through what they feel is important or paid to say is important. It's time for people to challenge each others' way of thought.

Here's Tony Hayward, BP's beleaguered chief executive being slapped over the ass (repeatedly) by US Congressional Committee.
He was accused of "astonishing complacency" and of cutting corners to save money, among a number of other major criticisms and complaints (see link below).
During the course of the morning, Mr Hayward faced attacks from both politicians and the audience....
I like the audience's approach best.

IRRESPONSIBLE FUCKS
As you may already know:
April 20, 2010 - the Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded in the Gulf of Mexico, 50 miles off the southeast tip of Louisiana. In yet another failed attempt, a "high-tech" nation threw brute mass, old tools and golf balls at the oil spewing from the ocean floor.
On April 22, 2010, the rig sank, leaving the well gushing, causing the largest oil spill in US history (approximately 800,000 gallons of oil each day).
"There is flow coming up the pipe. Just now, I don't know the exact rate," BP's chief operating officer, Doug Suttles, told NBC on June 4th (45 days after the incident began).
Thus far, an estimated 21 million gallons and 46 million gallons of oil have bled out into the sea since the rig exploded.
Six weeks since the spill began, BP's stock has lost more than one-third of its value, equivalent to $62.7 billion in market capitalization.
Both Transocean and BP continue to pass the blame without providing any answers.
People need to be held accountable when in a position of great power. Considering BP is the fourth largest company in the world, I say; OFF WITH THEIR HEADS.

Homegrown Terrorism in the United States
Experts say individuals who are likely to adopt a terrorist ideology share several pf the following qualities: youth, unemployment, feelings of alienation, a longing to feel self-importance, and a need to be part of a group.
Religion can be compelling to such individuals, who are then prone to exploitation by deceitful religious leaders and man-made piety.

Gorey Mess
Having been shown to being prone to taking liberty with the facts, back in 2007 Gore stated that glaciers in the Himalayas would disappear by 2030. And now, similar to a clown who ravels up his tongue, the IPCC admits it was not peer-reviewed scientific literature – but a media interview with a scientist conducted back in 1999. Several senior scientists have now said the claim was unrealistic and that the large Himalayan glaciers could not melt in a few decades. Hmm...I guess as a scientist, you should really know the facts before conducting media interviews.Gore and his goons have also made many other porous claims in the past such as a 75 percent chance the Arctic would be ice-free in five years.
I wonder if he'll be giving any of the money back he charged for each one of his so-called "lectures" on climate change.

Domestic Terrorism In Canada?
Think carefully about this. This is NOT an issue of public safety or oil and gas, but a political one. A political agenda and the inability to monitor control.

Hythe, Alberta - Police have made an arrest in a string of bombings that have targeted EnCana Corp. pipelines and wellheads in northeastern British Columbia.
Since October 2008, numerous letters have been sent to local papers warning the energy giant EnCana to cease its operations in the area south of Dawson Creek or “things get a lot worse.”
Wiebo Ludwig, an Alberta activist convicted of bombing oil and gas wells in the 1990s may be responsible.
