POPSObama’s Energy Czar: Socialist Agent For World Government Socialist International
Barack Obama’s “climate czar" Carol Browner has been exposed as being a member of Socialist International, a highly influential group headed by a Bilderberg Group luminary that calls for the implementation of global government, despite Socialist International’s attempts to seemingly “memory-hole” information about Browner on their website. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to understand that Obama and his cabinet are preparing to exploit fearmongering about global warming to push new measures of taxation, regulation and internationalism. Obama himself has vigorously promoted the revival of a bill that would slash carbon emissions by 80 per cent, a move that would inflict a new Great Depression, cost millions of jobs, and sink America to near third world status. Obama has also publicly stated his intention to create a new infrastructure of “green brigades” and informants to regulate every aspect of our behavior in the name of saving in the name of saving . . .

POPSUK migrant woodland bird species are disappearing Over the period studied, 17 species showed significant decreases in abundance and 12 species showed significant increases. Whilst population trajectories were diverse, long-distance migrants showed more negative trends than other species and the timing of the changes in their populations was related to their wintering latitude, suggesting that these species may be suffering from environmental changes in the non-breeding season. There was also support for habitat specializations being related to population changes. Additionally, species eating seeds in summer declined and those eating vegetation and making use of the agricultural landscape matrix increased. Therefore wide-scale factors such as landscape-scale processes or processes operating outside of Britain appear to be important in addition to local habitat change, especially for long-distance migrants.

POPSNow THIS is a solid reason to buy an American car Not one American brand car is in the top ten most ticketed cars in the US. I can attest that some cars just repel cops. I owned a refrigerator white Olds 88 for a decade. I loved that car. Once passed a cop doing 20 over the speed limit and all he did is turn his head, smile and wave. I still think he was just shocked to see the cute, little blonde instead of his grandma!

POPSScientists find nano-thermite in WTC dust «As to “who” did 9-11, at the ”business end” of the operation they were clearly people who had unimpeded access to introduce 10-100 tonnes of nano-thermite (super-thermite) into the North Tower, the South Tower and the WTC7 building of the World Trade Center (WTC) complex i.e. US officials or US surrogates (e.g. Israelis) with official government or corporate security clearance.»

POPSConservative Books On Top, But NYT Concludes Marx is “back in vogue”
Always count on the Fishwrap of Record to have its finger on the pulse of America! *** Via Christian Toto at Human Events: Marji Ross, president and publisher of Regnery Publishing, isn’t surprised by the newspaper’s stance against these like-minded books. “Very rarely do they review conservative books,” Ross says. “What they sometimes do is mention a book that is conservative on their “Inside the List” feature. It’s a way to defend themselves against the accusation they ignore these books.” The New York Times did see fit to print reviews of major liberal books from Michael Moore (Dude, Where’s My Country?), Eric Alterman (What Liberal Media?) and Al Franken (Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them) but has yet to examine the aforementioned right-leaning bestsellers. Having one’s book reviewed in The New York Times meant something up until recently. “Traditionally, most publishers and authors are very eager to get in the New York Times to review their books," Ross say

POPSCap and trade: raise the cost of living for everyone Finally, and worst of all, the tax is extremely regressive. Taxes assessed at the business level become product costs to consumers. Fixed-income and poorer Americans will be affected by the cost increases more than more affluent Americans. What slaps in the faces of the very voters that put this administration and Congress in office! I never would have believed something so heinous would be passed by an American government. You might want to make sure your senator knows how you want him or her to vote prior to the Senate’s vote early this fall.

POPSHolonomic brain theory Interesting little bit on holonomic brain theory. I had no idea that Bohm got involved with brain science. The theory seems to go against some of the current paradigm of functional mapping of the brain but I would say that consciousness and, arm movements let's say, are two very different things.

POPSSpace and Time are forms of animal sense perception
The final option is biocentrism, which holds that the universe is created by life and not the other way around. According to biocentrism, time does not exist independently of the life that notices it. Everything we perceive is actively and repeatedly being reconstructed inside our heads in an organized whirl of information. Time in this sense can be defined as the summation of spatial states occurring inside the mind. So what is real? If the next mental image is different from the last, then it is different, period. We can award that change with the word time, but that does not mean there is an actual invisible matrix in which changes occur. That is just our own way of making sense of things. We watch our loved ones age and die and assume that an external entity called time is responsible for the crime. There is a peculiar intangibility to space, as well. Most of us still think like Newton, regarding space as sort of a vast container that has no walls. But our notion of space is fa
