Massive Weapons Cache Captured in Basra
I’ve been picking on Al Gore and the disciples of warming because they are the most visible face of last-century’s eco-luddite movement, however to solve the real problems everyone must realize that Al’s not the only person causing starvation and stasis in the world.
The other factors creating hunger are also incumbent with eco-luddism, global warming is just the latest stalking-horse for [...]
While the new government is on record pace to make deals with the Taliban, the Taliban is breaking the deals before the ink dries.
Bill Roggio has details on the NWFP deal here, as well as the ongoing negotiations with Baitullah Mehsud.
The Taliban celebrated the deal by attacking a Police station killing four muslims and [...]
We force the use of our earliest and dirtiest forms of energy combined to power vehicles and call it green. Food was the original source of energy, and it powered humans and their competitors. Fire was the second form. Burning food that takes great energy to produce doesn’t make sense when the combustion still puts pollution in the air. It really makes less sense as people die of hunger.
BDS and Moonbattery know few bounds, Lawhawk has the story at A Blog For All.
Update: Doing a little digging on the group “We are change” it turns out that they are 9/11 Troofer Moonbats, who love Lyndon LaRouche and Michael Bloomberg. (They want Obama dumped for Bloomberg, or maybe LaRouche does, the stench of madness [...]
The sixth body discovered in the Basra area has been positively identified as that of Jonathon Cote. This ends in sorrow however the familie’s long ordeal is now over. Jonathon by all accounts was a fine soldier who served his country in war. Later he went back as a contractor to serve the mission in [...]
This morning a collection of articles and quotes on a real crisis vs. an imagined or inflated one:
Doug Ross at The Journal points out a little noted story about a group that is directly challenging the IPCC conclusions from the famous computer-generated hockey stick graph. New data belies the effect of carbon in the computer modeled [...]
Please keep the Cote Family in your thoughts and prayers. A sixth body has been found in the same area of Basra as the corpses of the hostages that were found last month.

To demonstrate the effect of Energy on the ability to grow sufficient crops once more, we have this report from IAASTD (International Assessment of Agricultural Science and Technology for Development ) Scroll through it — you will find that energy is the key component. It’s needed for fertilizer, transport, cultivation, and improved water resources. In a low energy future the world faces chronic famine, in an abundant energy future the world is fine and wealth grows across the board.

Ok I’ve been fiddling with my server, WP 2.5.1 (with the new patches) and .htaccess files for hours now trying to get the gallery and pic upload features of wp to work, all to no avail.
So I might as well make this test post useful, Please stop by Zomblog to see the latest in the [...]
I’ve just patched up to the beta 2.5.1 fix for the gallery, and I’m trying out a gallery embed with a few random pics.
The Khyber pass battles continue, and along with that the agit prop is continuing from all sides. There are a few things that are clear however. The first is that there aren’t many foreigner fighters, or Arab Al Qaeda, left alive in Pakistan - their numbers are thinning as is pointed out by this Asia Times article. The second [...]
The left has begun to notice the hunger, but it took riots and multiple articles to get them there. At Huffpo Richard Walden wants to obfuscate the real issues with Global Warming — right on cue. You see, Global Warming has somehow screwed up “farmer’s intuition”…. Oh, and there’s not enough money in UN aid programs, he [...]
Please stop by Hot Air for the latest prevarication.
Government “subject matter experts” attempting to plan the future often create unintended consequences through heavy-handed regulation. They sometimes attempt to solve problems that don’t exist, and sometimes offer solutions in search of a problem while ignoring the truly pressing issues before us this century.
Having not learned from nearly a century’s worth of Soviet Five year plans, they still think they can [...]
Like it or not we are a high energy society – the world is too much with us for we are billions in number. Those billions of humans and ecology are mutually exclusive in a low-energy world. In a low-energy society their waste can’t be cleaned, clean water won’t exist for them, their air will not be clean, their food will be scarce, and their work will be scarcer. Life will be brutal, grueling, and short.
The papers are saying that there will be an operation in the Khyber Agency after 9 Khassadar officials were kidnapped. Right now it appears to be the usual gunship drive, but without a campaign such as the one mounted in Swat, this won’t accomplish much.
If they are going to use ground troops to pursue, then [...]
Frontpage is reporting that one of Barack Obama’s big bundlers is Jodie Evans, one of the founders of Code Pink. From Frontpage:
According to Ralph Nader’s Public Citizen, Evans has bundled “at least $50,000” in donations for Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign. “Bundling” is a process in which people turn over a large number of “individual” political contributions as a group, in the hope of exerting greater influence if their candidate is elected.
