"Liberty cannot be preserved without a general knowledge among the people"

- John Adams - Second President (1797 - 1801)

Saturday, February 13, 2010

Saturday Evening - February 13, 2010

It does not take a majority to prevail... but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men.
-Samuel Adams



Saturday Evening - February 13, 2010





President Barack Obama does have a foreign policy. It's called war.

The President has not defined any real difference between his hawkish approach to international issues and that of his predecessor, former President George W. Bush.

Where's the change we can believe in?

Bush left a legacy of two wars, neither of which was ever fully explained or justified. Obama has merely picked up the sword that Bush left behind in Iraq and Afghanistan. READ MORE

Afghanistan to Seek Fresh Iron Ore Bids After Company Protests

(Bloomberg) -- The Afghan government said it will soon seek new bids to mine one of the world’s richest iron ore deposits after abandoning a tender damaged by company complaints and withdrawals.

The government has formally decided to restart bidding for the 1.8 billion-ton Hajigak deposit after Tuwairqi Steel Mills Ltd., a Pakistani unit of Saudi Arabia’s Al-Tuwairqi Group, alone accepted invitations to visit the site, Deputy Mines Minister Abdul Qudus Hamidi said. The government had in July approved seven companies to compete for the mine.

Protesters sweep through downtown Vancouver

Two major street rallies mobilize demonstrators ranging from aboriginal rights groups to advocates for the homeless. Police keep them from blocking spectators attending the Games' opening ceremony.

Reporting from Vancouver, Canada - Chanting "We ain't got no tickets!" and "Homes Not Games," more than 1,000 protesters swept through downtown Vancouver toward the Olympic opening ceremony Friday but were held back by police before they could block spectators from entering the celebration.

Billed as an action "against capitalism and colonization," the first of two major street rallies mobilized demonstrators ranging from aboriginal rights groups to advocates for the homeless, all aiming to mount one of the biggest-ever organized protests against the Olympic Games.

"There's never been an Olympic protest like this. This is a first," said Chris Shaw, spokesman for 2010 Watch, which claims Canadian citizens are bearing the brunt of the multibillion-dollar cost of a sporting event they say will benefit land developers and corporate sponsors.

"It was one of the largest rallies in Vancouver history, and the protest led right up to the door of the [International Olympic Committee]," Shaw said. READ MORE

Yellowstone Earthquake Swarm Summary as of 11 February 2010

The rate of earthquake occurrence in the Madison Plateau area is now at background levels. As of February 11, 2010 4:00 PM MST there have been 1,805 earthquakes located. The swarm began January 17, 2010 around 1:00 PM MST about 10 miles (16 km) northwest of the Old Faithful area on the northwestern edge of the Yellowstone Caldera. Swarms have occurred in this area several times over the past 30 years.

This swarm is now the second largest recorded swarm at Yellowstone. It was longer (in time) and included more earthquakes than last year's swarm beneath Yellowstone Lake (December '08/January '09).
