How Many Democrats Will Stand Up Against Obama's Bloated Military Budget?
by JEREMY SCAHILL
Much of the media attention this week on President Obama's new military budget has put forward a false narrative wherein Obama is somehow taking his socialist/pacifist sledgehammer to the Pentagon's war machine and blasting it to smithereens. Republicans have charged that Obama is endangering the country's security, while the Democratic leadership has hailed it as the dawn of a new era in responsible spending priorities. Part of this narrative portrays Defense Secretary Robert Gates as standing up to the war industry, particularly military contractors.
The reality is that all of this is false.
Here is an undeniable fact: Obama is substantially increasing US military spending, by at least $21 billion from Bush-era levels, including a significant ratcheting up of Afghanistan war spending, as well as more money for unmanned attack drones, which are increasingly being used in attacks on Pakistan. (David Swanson over at AfterDowningStreet.org does a great job of breaking down some of the media coverage of this issue across the political spectrum).
Obama's budget of $534 billion to the Department of Defense "represents roughly a 4-percent increase over the $513 billion allocated to the Pentagon in FY2009 under the Bush administration, and $6.7 billion more than the outgoing administration's projections for FY 2010," bragged Lawrence Korb, author of the Center for American Progress' report supporting Obama's escalation of the war in Afghanistan, in an article called, " Obama's Defense Budget Is on Target."
Obama and his neoliberal think tankers clearly didn't think much of Rep. Barney Frank's call earlier this year to cut military spending by 25% to pay for urgently needed social programs and economic aid to struggling Americans. "To accomplish his goals of expanding health care and other important quality of life services without ballooning the deficit," Frank said, Obama needed to reduce military spending. "If we do not get military spending under control, we will not be able to respond to important domestic needs." Well, not only is overall military spending on the rise, but Obama is about to ask for billions more for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan in a "supplemental" spending bill, the type which were staples in Bush's campaign to mask of the full military budget and total cost of the wars. Obama could seek the funding as early as Thursday.
Now, the Wall Street Journal is reporting that we may actually see some spine coming from Congress in standing up to Obama's request for this additional $75.5 billion in war funds. The WSJ characterized the situation as one of "raising tensions" between Obama and some lawmakers opposed to the wars. It should be noted off-the-bat that the Congresspeople speaking out are, predictably, members of the usual suspects club and the Democratic leadership is probably at this moment sharing cocktails in the backroom with McCain and McConnell, but, nonetheless, it is worth examining what is being said:
"I can't imagine any way I'd vote for it," said Rep. Lynn Woolsey, a California Democrat and leader in the 77-member congressional Progressive Caucus. It would be her first major break with this White House.
Ms. Woolsey fears the president's plan for Iraq would leave behind a big occupation force. She is also concerned about the planned escalation in Afghanistan. "I don't think we should be going there," she said.
Similar sentiments echo across the House. Rep. Jim McGovern (D., Mass.) said he fears Afghanistan could become a quagmire. "I just have this sinking feeling that we're getting deeper and deeper into a war that has no end," he said.
Rep. John Conyers (D., Mich.) dismissed Mr. Obama's plans as "embarrassingly naive," and suggested that the president is being led astray by those around him. "He's the smartest man in American politics today," Rep. Conyers said. "But he occasionally gets bad advice and makes mistakes. This is one of those instances."
Obama has vowed to break with the Bush-era tradition of seeking such supplementals to fund the war, saying that beginning in 2010 he will fund the wars as part of his overall budget. The anti-war caucus of Democrats is unlikely to have enough votes to block it given the increasingly overt pro-war nature of the Democratic leadership. And, as the WSJ notes, the funding bills are likely to pass "since many Republicans will support them."
An interesting point nestled half-way through the WSJ piece illustrates a point some antiwar activists have been making since Obama's election—he is likely to win increased support from Democratic lawmakers for wars they may not have supported when Bush was in power:
The president argues that Afghanistan has been neglected, allowing al Qaeda to regroup and exposing the U.S. to new dangers.
Rep. John Larson (D., Conn.) suggests Democrats may be less inclined to joust with the current White House on the issue than they were with former President George W. Bush. "We have somebody that Democrats feel will level with them," said Mr. Larson, the House's fourth-ranking Democrat.
This truly is one of the most important trends to watch with the Obama presidency, particularly as it relates to war policy. Obama is in a position to greatly advance the interests of empire, precisely because he is able to build much wider support for policies that are essentially a continuation of those implemented by Bush.

Air Quality Advisory Continues for Some Fraser Valley Communities
The Air Quality Advisory issued September 10 remains in effect for the Eastern Fraser Valley, which includes the communities of Chilliwack, Agassiz, and Hope, because of high concentrations of fine particulate matter, primarily due to smoke from wildfires burning in BC, Washington and Oregon, including the Flood Falls Trail wildfire burning near Hope. Smoke concentrations may vary widely as winds and temperatures change, and as wildfire behaviour changes.
The Air Quality Advisory for fine particulate matter has ended for Metro Vancouver and the Central Fraser Valley. Air quality has gradually improved but local haze is likely to persist through September 15. A more substantial change in the weather is forecast to occur on Friday (September 16) and will further improve air quality. While the advisory has ended for portions of the airshed, fine particulate matter concentrations are still somewhat elevated.
How Can Poor Air Quality Affect You
Anyone experiencing symptoms such as chest discomfort, shortness of breath, coughing or wheezing should seek prompt medical attention. In the case of an emergency, call 911.
Exposure to PM2.5 is particularly a concern for:
people with underlying conditions such as lung disease, heart disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) including bronchitis and emphysema, as well as asthma, and/or diabetes
people with respiratory infections
pregnant women and infants
outdoor workers (e.g. construction and agricultural workers)
people who are socially marginalized may also be at elevated risk (e.g. people who are experiencing homelessness or are under housed).
People at risk should postpone or reduce outdoor physical activity while PM2.5 and ozone concentrations are high, especially if breathing feels uncomfortable. Indoor spaces with HEPA air filtration and air conditioning can offer relief from both air pollution and heat. Set up a clean air space in your home if possible by running a portable HEPA air cleaner in one or more rooms, or visit a public building with air conditioning (e.g., community centre, library, mall, etc.).
What is Fine Particulate Matter
Fine particulate matter, also known as PM2.5, refers to airborne solid or liquid droplets with a diameter of 2.5 micrometres or less. PM2.5 can easily penetrate indoors because of its small size.
The Fraser Valley Regional District and Metro Vancouver work in cooperation with Environment and Climate Change Canada, and B.C. Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy to look after air quality.

Francis is revolutionizing the Legion of Christ. Vatican Insider has learnt that the Legion plans to announce the order's complete restructuring at its Extraordinary General Chapter in Rome, in a month's time. "All the work carried out so far is oriented towards making each group that is inspired by the spiritual kingship of Christ, autonomous," members of the Curia have stated.
The Legion is to be split into three sections: laity, consecrated persons and priests. Each of the Legion's three branches will have "full autonomy in the organisation and choice of its leaders and internal roles." The common reference to Christ's kingship will translate into various "forms of collaboration" between the three groups which will, nevertheless, be completely independent from each another.
On the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi on 4 October, Cardinal Velasio de Paolis, the Pontifical delegate to the Legion of Christ and the "Regnum Christi" movement, wrote a letter addressed to all members of the Legion, stating that the time had come to call an Extraordinary General Chapter. In the letter, the cardinal, who was nominated by Benedict XVI and kept on by Francis, mentions a letter Benedict XVI wrote in 2010. "Although Ratzinger did not give a specific time frame, it was predicted right from the start that the necessary spiritual renewal process and revision of the Constitutions of the Legion of Christ would not be complete in less than three years," De Paolis informs.
Sometimes the great things in the Church are the fruit of great sinners. This is certainly the case with the Legion of Christ and the lay Regnum Christi movement which were founded by Marcial Maciel Degollado. In 2006 a Vatican inquiry found Degollado guilty of committing acts of sexual abuse against numerous young disciples. But this was not all. Following the priest's death in 2008, another uncomfortable secret was unmasked: Degollado had had a love affair with a Mexican woman and fathered a child, who is now 20 and lives in Spain.
The General Chapter will begin on 8 January 2014 at the Legion's general directorate in Rome and chaired by the papal delegate. The following will be attending the meeting by virtue of their office: the General Director, the members of the General Council, the Secretary General, the General Procurator, the General Administrator, the General Prefect of Studies, and Territorial Directors. All other delegates have been elected by peers from the Legion's various territories. They make up just over two thirds of the order. "This chapter's 'main tasks will be the election of a new government for the institute and the approval of the new constitutions,' Francis announced last June.
Although it is presumed that the General Chapter will be over by the end of February, the Chapter itself will decide on dates according to the progress made during the meetings. The Vatican is now aware of the effect Degollado's immoral acts have had on the life of the congregation and the lay movement which he founded. "All sick branches need to be removed in order to save a plant of great value," the Curia says.
The sickest parts of the plant were to be found in South American countries like Brazil and Chile; in Mexico, however, it is growing strong. In 2006 Benedict XVI decided to repeal the vote of charity Degollado had introduced, whereby Legionaries had to promise never to criticize their superiors. Malicious gossip was the most anti-Christian of acts Legionaries were told. When Ratzinger relieved them from this obligation further, a whole load of cockroaches came crawling out. The order's internal clean-up operation is being carried out without any form of censorship or connivance; particularly in cases where priests' reputations have been seriously tainted because of their involvement in acts of sexual abuse.


Is it possible that there are only 12 days left until Christmas? Don't panic...at least that's what I keep telling myself. I'm going to take a deep breath, drink an extra cup of coffee, sit for 5 minutes in front of the sparkly Christmas tree, think of the things I am grateful for...and then plot my day, strategically. I think I may need even more coffee.
I want to share my advent calendar with you. Advent is a season of anticipation. We anticipate the beautiful celebration of Christmas, the birth of Christ. Some advent calendars are pre-loaded with chocolates. The one I grew up with was a cute Scandinavian fabric calendar with 24 small pockets to hold little treats. As a little girl, I loved waking up to find what mom put in the pocket. I wanted to carry on the tradition with my kids, and got it in my head that I could and should make my own Advent calendar. How hard could it be, right? Well, it could be hard, long, and laborious, and indeed it was. I now call it the heirloom advent calendar, and I am expecting my children to pass it on for generations as the Christmas calendar that Great-Great Grandma Tina made. Just kidding (sort of). It is cute, and I am glad I made it, but it was a very time consuming project that I should have started in June. But I am getting side tracked because what I really want to share with you are ideas for the daily treats. The basics are a quarter, a piece of chocolate, gum, a candy cane, a small dollar bin item, etc. This works fine for my 2 year old, but slightly redundant for my 9 year old. And, there are 24 pockets...and I don't want 24 more junk items in my house! This year I came up with experiential ideas. They are things we can do in this fun season, or a little break from the rules. It also helps me to slow down and do something fun with my kids, instead of frantically crossing off things on my TO DO list. I will share 12 with you, as we have 12 days left.

Neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation  is a heterogenous group of inherited neurodegenerative diseases, still under research, in which iron accumulates in the basal ganglia, either resulting in progressive dystonia, Parkinsonism, spasticity, optic atrophy, retinal degeneration, neuropsychiatric, or diverse neurologic abnormalities.
Some of the NBIA disorders have also been associated with several genes in synapse and lipid metabolism related pathways. NBIA is not one disease but an entire group of disorders, characterized by an accumulation of brain iron, sometimes in the presence of axonal spheroids in the central nervous system.

Iron accumulation can occur anywhere in the brain, with accumulation typically occurring in globus pallidus, substantia nigra, pars reticula, striatum and cerebellar dentate nuclei. Symptoms can include various movement disorders, neuropsychiatric issues, seizures, visual disturbances, and cognitive decline, usually in different combinations. 10-15 genetic NBIA disorders have been identified involved in various cell processes: iron metabolism, coenzyme A biosynthesis, phospholipid metabolism, ceramide metabolism, lysosomal disorders, as well as mutations in genes with unknown functions. Onset can occur at different ages, from early childhood to late adulthood.

There are currently no curative treatments for any of the NBIA disorders, though several medications have been subject to clinical trial including the iron chelator deferiprone.

Variants

Diagnosis
DAT-Scans, TC(D)-Sonography, PET-Scans and in some cases Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (type of scans depending on the symptoms) are used to distinguish between the different forms of NBIA due to the accumulation of iron in different areas of the brain. Patients typically fall into two different categories: (1) early onset, rapid progression or (2) late onset, slow progression. The first type is considered to be the classic presentation, while the second type is thought to be a more atypical presentation. Phenotypes of the different disorders appear to be dependent on age, i.e. amount of iron accumulation and cognitive abilities.

Treatments
Effective disease-modifying treatments have not yet been found for any of the NBIA disorders. Current treatment is supportive and focused on improving symptoms: Dystonia is a common debilitating symptom and can be managed with oral medications, and sometimes with deep-brain electrical stimulation, therapy support for walking, eating, and manual tasks is essential. Later, in many of the diseases, slowing and stopping of movement (known as parkinsonism) can become common. Removal of iron, using medications known as iron-chelators, has been tested in clinical trial but was not definitively shown to be effective.

Seed money to buy some other poor breed for his puppy factory? Or maybe even stock his shelves with more Kerry Blues to sell to a rescue organization? Even as this is written he's smacking his lips over the deal he's working out to sell these dogs to a rescue group.
Still another puppy factory in the Midwest who advertised a liquidation sale of Kerry Blue Terriers and gleefully watched rescue organizations jump, is said to be mysteriously back in business with more Kerry Blues. And why not? There's now a guaranteed market. When these shady characters know there's at least one organization willing to pay handsome prices for this stock, no matter how poor in quality, temperament or health, they don't hesitate to stock more merchandise.
Then there's everyday Joe Blow factory breeder. He SAYS he's selling his Kerry Blue Terriers and getting "out of the breed" but he might just decide to hold a couple back, safely tucked away in the puppy factory at home. In a few more months he's back at the auction with another "going out of business" sale! And he does this confidently, knowing there will be at least one breed rescue willing to buy his dogs again at handsome prices.
What does this mean to the future of our Kerry Blue Terriers? It means that our breed is now a pawn being played in a game between the puppy millers/brokers and rescue. It means that these sly dealers in livestock are preying on the pure emotional response dog lovers have when their breed is in distress. This game is a form of "kidnapping" with our breed as the victims including the traditional kidnapper's expectation of a hefty ransom.
It is the height of foolishness to give in to kidnappers. It only emboldens them to continue their game with other victims. When these dealers/brokers realize they can expect a guaranteed lucrative income from even one rescue organization they will continue to acquire and/or breed our Kerry Blues to take to auction or offer in quantity sales.
So what is the American Kennel Club's policy as it pertains to national breed rescues?
The American Kennel Club discourages Parent Club rescue groups from purchasing dogs at auctions. Although Parent Clubs may be doing good things for individual dogs purchased at auctions, it perpetuates the problem and tends to create a seller's market. Reciprocally, auctioneers seek more dogs of those breeds to offer at auctions. AKC applauds the work of Parent Club rescue groups on many fronts. However, AKC believes that the purchasing of dogs at auctions is not overall in the best interest of purebred dogs.
Currently, the United States Kerry Blue Terrier Club has endeavored to ride down the middle lane, between the AKC's recommendation and a workable club policy implemented to rescue dogs at auction. USKBTC rescue developed a policy which endeavors to rescue as many Kerry Blues possible, but at the same time deprive dealers/factory breeders from real income from sales. Depriving these cold calculating business people from gaining any profit from selling Kerry Blue Terriers is the ONLY way to drive them away from our breed.
There have been half truths and complete lies told about USKBTC Rescue. USKBTC members have been rescuing Kerry Blue terriers for many years longer than some who spread this false information have even been involved with our breed. For the record, Joanne Schindler began the roots of "organized" rescue for the national club back in the 1970s…that's over 30 years ago. Kerry breeders were rescuing and placing the occasional dog (rescue dogs were few in those wonderful days) before that time. USKBTC rescue is one of the first organized national breed rescues in the country.
Since the early days, USKBTC rescue has operated with NO fanfare, NO self promotional back thumping, or need for attention. Indeed, it was found efforts to be more effective when these puppy factories and brokers couldn't identify who was infiltrating their auctions or sales. USKBTC rescue determined that shouting out successes on unrestricted membership e-lists was not wise. Unrestricted e-list membership can include these brokers/puppy millers or more likely, their spies. To allow these "scouts" to go back and report club rescue tactics and the identity of those individuals who work to rescue from these auctions is seen as unwise at best, stupid at worst.
The USKBTC Rescue also determined that there should be a finite amount paid to buy a dog at auction or other sale. Regardless of what other propaganda has been spread, making Kerry Blues a money losing proposition for brokers/millers is the only way to put them out of business. Some may try to convince us that the law of supply and demand does not apply to buying dogs at auction, but nothing is further from the truth.
As difficult as it may be, being "cruel to be kind" may be the only way to take our breed away from these puppy brokers. By standing firm on a protocol designed to starve these brokers/millers out of our breed we will surely benefit the greater good of future Kerry Blues.
