With Perseverance ...

With perseverance and courage, we can turn things around. Bird's Head Seascape just did.

Ne Rien thus far ...

The mystery deepens

Speaking of B&W :)

Yours truly loves B&W but you, my loyal readers, already know that. So does NASA and the Cassini mission as seen by yet another stunning image of Saturn, this time showing how Saturn's atmosphere distorts her rings where they intersect the planet's limb, whose atmosphere acts here like a very big lens.  Awesome without question. :)

But It Can Be

What the so-called candidates for president should say.

Satan's Way

As everyone knows, BRT was for Bernie. Intelligent, principled and wise, this guy is the only one qualified to be president as the other two are compromised in ways that truly boggle the mind. With this in mind, there is a way to enable real change to happen, something that must happen if America is to survive as a viable nation as we move further into the 21st century.

DB: To be clear, what you are saying is, a lot of the energy wasted inside these conventions trying to change the platform is really a bit of a distraction from the energy that can come out of all the platforms that people supported Bernie for at the grass roots level…

Palast: You don’t want to waste your bullet. This convention business is, after all, just a show. It’s theater. There’s no convention. There’s no discussion over whose going to get the nomination. That’s done. It’s a show. Trump has made it clear that he wants the Republican show to even be better, so he’s going to speak all night. It’s burlesque, it’s political striptease. America Has No Political Talent is the show. But if we want to go permanent, if we want to really change this nation, which is what the Sanders’ campaign claims to be about… If you want to have a true Medicare for all, possibility; Clinton has talked about opening up Medicare to people 50 and over, which would be tremendous, if she sticks to it. She’s talked about removing the caps so that rich people have to pay into the social security fund with no cap, which Sanders forced her to do. Sanders forced her to come out against the TPP. Sanders forced her to say she’d re-open NAFTA.

She’s not going to be held to these things when she’s president by looking at her old party platform — that’s a giggle! But she will be held accountable if there are 13 million people in a progressive organization, which Sanders would have to front, which would say, “We are going to withhold our support for the Democratic Party, money, people de-registering, we will have nothing to do with you. These are our demands and we’re holding you to these demands.”

Make it happen Bernie, make it happen.

Addendum: Bernie was screwed out of the nomination by the DNC as per new Wikileaks' docs.

Prelude?

Prelude to Skynet?
