Incremental Tyranny advances as we Tea Party-ers cheer our imagined victories.
How we always greet more Incremental Tyranny with a cheer, a whoop and a happy-dance.
Vic Biorseth, OWM; Thursday, July 03, 2014
https://www.catholicamericanthinker.com/
How ever did we get to the point where we no longer even recognize actual, true reality any more? Have we been so spiritually jaded, so educationally dumbed-down and so politically numbed that we have lost all intellectual discernment?
Right and Wrong is as clear cut as black and white.
Very simple; nothing to it. All morality boils down to a thing being either right, or wrong. Forget the shades of grey crap. A thing is either right or it is wrong. It's all tied up in truth versus error, which really amounts to the same thing. Since God is Truth, and He is the center and fount of all lesser truths, it becomes a matter of Godliness versus ungodliness.
If you know what is true, then you know what is moral; the problem is that we have been ever more deeply buried in untruth disguised as truth for so many successive generations that we no longer know how to discern even the simplest of truths any more, in any subject. We are taught error, from childhood. That is our beginning point. Error piled upon error piled upon error, all officially taught to be true. Falsehood is taught as fact to children and adults.
Each Supreme Court "slap down" of Comrade Obama (peace be upon him) is celebrated as some kind of major victory for the Constitution, when it is in fact a minor thing - a mere tossing of a bone to the ever increasingly trained Riff-Raff. And all cheer, while the steady process of Incremental Tyranny continues its inexorable march toward the full destruction of the Constitution.
He still, to this day, is not widely recognized for who and what he is.
In a five-four split decision, the Court held that some privately owned corporations could be excused from including abortifacient coverage from among the contraception coverage they were legally being forced, against their will, to purchase. And the crowds cheered and started their happy-dance. A Constitutional victory, they thought.
But four Justices voted against it. Did not all of them swear in their oaths of office to uphold the Constitution as the supreme law of the land? Why then was the vote not unanimous? But the contraception coverage mandate was not part of the original Obamacare Constitutionality question; it was a matter of lesser law, in the form of an HHS legal "regulation" added into the law after the fact. It was not in the Obamacare law when it was originally legislated and signed.
It was an "As the Secretary shall determine" action of the HHS Secretary, in a demonstration of the unrecognized incremental tyranny coded into unconstitutionally legislated law these days.
No one even asks any more why HHS exists. As we said in Cut HHS, as in the rest of the Cut the Spending pages, this is a Soviet (I mean administrative bureaucracy) that has no Constitutional standing and no valid legal reason to exist. But it does. And it is running the show. It, like all the others, is at the beck and call of Comrade Obama (peace be upon him.)
Congress has sole Constitutional authority to originate law. The Constitution nowhere grants Congress the ability to delegate any of its exclusive law making authority to any other entity.
Yet, in a near mirror-image of how the Soviet Union was constructed, we have a giant pyramid of unelected and unaccountable administrative bureaucracies, all with authority to pass regulations with full force of law, and all at the beck and call of the dictator. I mean President. Now, under this President, they all have their own rapidly growing police forces, and even swat teams. We are ever increasingly administered, rather than Constitutionally governed. Which is to say, herded.
But even that is a minor thing, when you look at the fundamental unconstitutionality of the whole of Obamacare. Point after point, it directly violates the Constitution. It forces citizens and corporate entities to buy something against their will, under penalty of law. It forces insurance companies to provide something against their will. If forces health-care providers to use something against their will. It was unconstitutionally rammed through the legislative process and voted in by Congressmen and Senators who had not even read it.
Every Senator and every Congressman who voted for it thereby violated his oath of office to uphold the Constitution.
The President who signed it into law thereby violated his own oath of office to uphold the Constitution.
Then, when legally challenged, the Supreme Court, in a five-four decision, unconstitutionally modified legislated law in order to grant this abomination "constitutional" standing in law.
Every Supreme Court Justice who voted to sustain Obamacare thereby violated his oath of office to uphold the Constitution.
And yet, the most recent two Supreme Court decisions are widely celebrated as Constitutional victories.
The Criminal Alien problem is now going on steroids, with help from all quarters, including full orchestration from the sitting American government. In a brilliant and masterful application of the Marxist anti-American Cloward-Piven strategy, they induced the recent sudden influx of "unacompanied children" illegally entering the USA. As part of the plan, the government began hiring new employees to meet them and transport them all around the country way back in January. Thus, our government were the only ones not really surprised by the sudden appearance of tens of thousands of little children overloading our border capabilities.
They feigned surprise for political reasons, as did their propaganda wing. I mean our news media. But, just as in Fast and Furious, and just as in Benghazi, the government was in on the plan from the beginning.
The brilliance of this particular application of Cloward-Piven is in the number of elements overloaded. Border Patrol is overloaded, and turned into a baby-sitting service. Churches open their doors and, guess what, Churches are overloaded. Charities jump in and, guess what, charities are overloaded. Health-care is overloaded; local food distribution is overloaded; existing Soviets (I mean government bureaucracies) are overloaded.
So our government bureaucracies have to hire more workers, who will, of course, be union workers, and who will be Marxocrat Party voters, and who will be dependent upon bigger and bigger government for their pay and benefits, and who will cost more non-existent treasure, and on, and on, and on.
That's how Incremental Tyranny advances.
Incremental Tyranny advances by not being recognized for what it is. If it told you what it was, you would stop it. It pretends to be something else. It is falsehood = ungodliness. On earth, it got its first start with an untruth regarding the fruit of one tree at the center of a garden. In America, it is ending with what we are looking at. We have been systematically educated in error. We therefore, unknowingly, contribute to the process.
The purpose of American education is
To prepare the child for independence, for creating a business, taking part in an existing family business, or otherwise making his own way in the world without depending on his parents, so that he can start his own family.
To instill the moral norms of the larger culture into the fabric of the child's being, so that he will be a participant and a contributor to the common good of the larger society.
To help the child seek, obtain and grow in holiness, recognizing from the beginning his own ultimate end, the Divine Author of his own existence, and the purpose for his being.
America, from her founding, was the first nation to make indivdual citizens into independent operators, imbued with "goodness" and high morality, who could take care of themselves and their families, who maintained close ties with extended family, and who were good neighbors. The formation of such citizens was the original goal of American education.
It worked pretty well until the government took it over.
The Pilgrims, the Colonists, the Founders who signed the Declaration and the Framers who signed the Constitution were, almost to a man, home schooled and self educated. Their teachers were their parents, older siblings, aunts, uncles and neighbors, until at some point they began self-educating, perhaps with a mentor or two. Most of them were extremely literate, by today's standards, by around age 10, when they took over their own continuing education as their interests led them.
Beginning around the same age, for the most part, those who didn't work in the family business went out into the larger world as an apprentice, intern or even indentured servant at some shop or business. Actual work was an important part of their ongoing education.
Rare was the one-room schoolhouse with a community-paid teacher. They were as rare or as common as necessity dictated. Early on it was recognized that those who possessed knowledge of the three Rs did better in life than those who didn't, and so illiterate parents would sacrifice much to get someone else to teach their children, and even themselves.
I submit for your consideration the statement that the typical home-schooled adult circa 1800 was far, far better educated, and far more practical, than today's typical college graduate, and better educated than most of those today who hold advanced degrees.
Public education changed all that.
Most today who oppose Common Core are unaware of the beginnings of public education. That's where the problems began. There is nothing about it in the Constitution. "Free" - meaning, tax-payer funded - education, and mandatory education, and "child labor" laws prohibiting employing children were all born of Marx's Communist Manifesto. It involved, from the beginning, ideological indoctrination. Over time the indoctrination predominated over education itself. That's where we are today.
Public education is the most successful branch of Incremental Tyranny. All public schools are government property; all teachers and all who work at public schools in any capacity are government employees, and almost certainly union members. When they go on strike it is against you, the tax payer. They negotiate with the Marxocrat dominated government, who always supports the unions that support the Marxocrats, but the pay and benefits are provided by you, the tax payer. The News Media knows it, and is in on it.
You have no choice in the matter, thanks to truancy laws. It is legally mandatory indoctrination. I mean education.
What may be worse, for national security purposes, is the incestuous relationship between higher education and the Marxocrat Party. The most preferred and highly recognized universities in America, and perhaps the world,
employ rabidly anti-American professors and teach anti-American ideology, and
enjoy gigantic government subsidies and government research projects involving national secrets.
They are quite open about it. Anti-American Marxism dominates American academe.
I have been railing against such "educational" travesties as Darwinism, Freudianism and Marxism since, at least, the 1960s. Ask anyone who knows me. I remember arguing with a science teacher in 7th and 8th grade about the evidence for macro-evolution way back in the 1950s. (There wasn't any, and there still isn't any.) Everybody thinks I'm just an old contrarian, but few seriously look into the "establishment teachings" I contradict. These three serious errors form the basis for major ongoing error, all built up and still building upon them.
Marxism itself commandeered both Darwinism and Freudianism and used them to generate new errors and promote false ideology, leading men away from truth. Whole new falsehoods have been generated, all geared toward inducing a false sense of crisis, growth of government, migration of power from the people to the government, and centralization of political power. Too few see it for what it is.
Marxism now owns Scientism as well as education.
Chicken-Little was credited with inducing panic among his fellow barnyard critters by yelling
Run for your lives!
Today's more sinister Marxian fraudsters yell things like
The people are unequal!
Make a new law!
A big business is failing!
Bail out the big business!
The globe is warming!
Grow the government!
Development is unsustainable!
Stop all development!
The income gap is growing!
Redistribute the wealth!
The people are unhealthy!
Create a new bureaucracy!
The economy is melting down!
Spend more money!
And the ones who are the most completely fooled by this nonsense are the most highly educated among us. Proving my point. The more educated the modern American is the more steeped in pure materialism he is likely to be, and the deeper into stupidassism he is likely to have plunged.
"The Sting", starring Robert Redford, Paul Newman and Robert Shaw, illustrated the carefully orchestrated fraud, with the overall strategy insisting that, to work properly, the victim of the fraud must never know, ever, that the whole thing was a fraud. The whole movie was about an elaborate fraud, with a huge cast of characters who were in on it, pretending and play-acting to be someone other than who they were, doing something other than what they were really doing. Together, they masterfully executed a major fraud against a victim who never knew he was a victim, before, during or after.
And that's the way it is with all the major frauds, sponsored by Marxist ideologues of one variety or another, that are being perpetrated against us, and against our Constitution today. There exists a cast of millions behind them; some dupes, most not dupes, but actually in on it. Just like the Piltdown Man hoax, only bigger. When you see through it, and present your evidences, you are brushed aside, shouted down and ignored, or your small voice is buried beneath a superior number of countering voices.
The goal, you see, is not to convince everyone, but to convince the highest possible number. The moron-vote. The systematically dumbed-down vote. The indoctrinated, propagandized, unthnking vote. And, of course, the already Left-leaning vote. When confronted with countervailing evidences, they will just shout all the louder, Yes, the globe really is warming, hoping any moron listeners will believe them before they believe you. That's their story and they're sticking to it.
And, I'm telling you, the moron vote includes many of the most highly educated among us. They don't even know that they are victims of multiple hoaxes.
Ask any "true believer" in any of the frauds listed above, or in the foundational frauds of Darwinism, Freudianism or Marxism why they believe such things, and what they base their belief on, and watch the reactions. Challenge anthropomorphic global warming. Challenge HIV causing AIDS, or even being a disease with any actual symptoms. The one thing you will not get is any scientific emperical evidences, because there aren't any, and there never were. That's the way it is.
You will get the condescending smiles of effete elitist sophists, assurances that the theory is true, but no evidences. You may get long lists of TTRSTF4 who all agree that it is true, and perhaps signed some document stating that it is true, but no real evidences. You may get a long list of TTRSPTF5 who actually teach the subject, and have written papers and books on it, who all agree that it is true; but no real evidences. You may get a long list of TTRSJTF6 and other members of the SLIMC1 , like movie producers, movie stars, comedians and big time celebritcrats with their large adoring retinues of celebritards trailing behind; but again, you will get no real evidences.
The perpetrators and the victims of Incremental Tyranny, in their variety, may be best described as existing on a two-dimensional plane, with pure evil treachery at one end, pure stupidassism at the other, and many variants of combinations of the two, described by Lenin and Stalin as Useful Idiots, scattered between the two ends. When you first encounter someone who believes, or seems to believe, for instance, in Global Warming Doom, or Ozone Hole Doom, or some such hoax, you don't at first know whether you are encountering an evil manipulator, a blithering idiot or some combination variant of fool.
The one thing seemingly held in common by all of them is a total lack of supernatural faith. They intellectually ignore the spiritual in favor of the worldly. Any attention they pay to religion will be of the periodic, lip-service, variety, going-through-the-motions for the sake of appearances and politics.
Catholic Bishops are not immune to this nonsense; quite the contrary. Most of them have fallen deeply into it, like everybody else. The position of the USCCB on our criminal alien problem highlights their ignorance of the anti-American treachery at play here. They call them "undocumented" rather than illegal, and "immigrants" rather than alien intruders, even though they have no intent to immigrate.
The Bishops think they are here to do something rather than to get something, which they are getting, or they would leave. With few exceptions they are not producers, but consumers. They are not human capital, as free men are, but they are dependent mouths to feed. They have not been raised in liberty; they don't know what real liberty is. And our Bishops are either too evil or too stupid to be able to see that.
In calling for "comprehensive immigration reform" the Bishops reveal themselves to be cooperators and magnifiers of a major treacherous anti-American lie. Immigration law is not "broken" or in need of fixing; it is, quite illegally, not being enforced. Border security law is not "broken" or in need of fixing; it is, quite illegally, not being enforced. We have no need of new law, or expanded or new bureaucracy, or eliminating of our sovereign borders so that the whole world can come and enjoy government hand outs.
The USCCB has shown that it opposes American sovereign border integrity, which is to say, the USCCB opposes America as a sovereign nation. Most American Bishops don't think of themselves as anti-Americans, but that's what they are.
All of this is being done on purpose. It is orchestrated, and huge segments of the population dance to the tune.
Tolerance of evil was the beginning point of all of this. When culture moves away from shunning or anathematizing evil, evil begins to take over. It's that simple. If you let Satan on the bus, I guarantee you, Satan will wind up driving the bus.
And then you will be the one not tolerated, the one shunned, the one anathematized. It's already happening. Evil is now driving the American bus.
And evil is beginning to drive the bus for the whole Catholic Church in America. Look at this video from ChurchMilitant.TV if you don't believe me.
http://www.churchmilitant.tv/daily/?today=2014-07-01
As if that were not bad enough, look at this one.
It's all true.
Everywhere I look, evil is in charge. In the Senate; in the House, in the Presidency; in the Supreme Court; in the Church. We might be able to do something about the government, but only the Bishops can re-evangelize themselves. Where do we go when our Bishops have lost their way?
Let us pray. Lord, wash me from my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. Create in me a clean heart, and put a right spirit in me, that I might do your will and please you. Lord, lift me from my despair, strengthen my hope, that I might give hope to others. Everywhere I look I see the advance of evil; yet I know that you have already won the battle. I know not the hour nor the day, but I know that your truth will be known to all in due time, when all will be known in your bright light. Lord, what I lack in faith, let me make up in acts of faithfulness; what I lack in hope, let me make up in acts of hopefulness. Lord, strengthen me that I might continue the fight against all odds, to not ever lose hope and never sink into despair, but always advance against untruth. Lord, increase the discernment of your people and turn their hearts. Lord, thy will be done. Amen.

Vic, old buddy, I have largely agreed with everything you have written so far, until I red this. When you say the bishops are anti-American I think you have gone a "bridge too far." You are right to attack their softness on doctrine and their seeming support (or lack of opposition) to a lot of kinds of sin. But I think they should stay out of politics altogether. That's not their realm, and there should be a separation of church and state. I think they just have political opinions like everyone else; they should just keep a lid on it and go about their duties.

Barney:
I strongly disagree. See the Church and State page. There is no such Constitutional principle as separation of Church and state. There is a Catholic rule that says a cleric cannot hold any civil office or title without some kind of dispensation from Rome, but there is no legal reason, in civil law, why any cleric cannot speak in public on political issues. In America, I believe it is not only their legal right, but their bound duty and responsibility to uphold what is right and attack what is wrong in the political arena. Which may and should include the Pulpit.
And the majority of American Bishops, just like the Republicrat Party, are indeed cooperating with the goals of Obamunism and the Marxocrat Party, which involve the systematic sidelining and overriding of Constitutional law. And American Constitutional law is what provides and protects religious freedom in the first place. Once the American Constitution goes, so do all the citizen civil rights hard coded into it. Religious liberty in the whole world will have taken a very serious hit.
No one can oppose border integrity of only the USA and not be anti-American, because when you lose all sense of border integrity, you lose all sense of national sovereignty that goes along with it. The Bishops don't oppose the border integrity of any other nation; only this one. They are indeed anti-American.

I must also disagree with Barney. With the New Testament being our guide it shows clearly that Christians are not to shy away from politics when political leaders are fraudulent. Consider that the Pharisees were the religious and political leaders of Ancient Israel when Jesus walked the earth. While Jesus forgave many sinners of their sins, in Matthew 23 we see a different judgement given to the Pharisees. Jesus publicly rebuked them, calling them "hypocrites". Not much has changed, it seems.

What do you think about Glenn Beck and Mercury One gathering charity to feed and clothe the illegal children?
Date: Mon Jul 14 2014
Natalie:
I think it's the right thing to do; unfortunately, I also think it is the dead right thing to do. It is quite likely to kill Mercury One, and it may even eventually bring down all other Glenn Beck business and charitable enterprises.
If he raises the million dollar goal this week and goes to the border for some big hurrah, that may be all well and good; but the next week the same task may take two million dollars. And the week after that may take four million dollars.
It's not stopping, or even slowing. It's accelerating. It's just getting rolling. As we said in the article, no one is doing anything to stop it. Obama, the Obamunists and the Marxocrats are quite happy about it, behind the scenes. So is Hillary and so is Kerry. So long as the border is open and no one is being turned back or returned, and so long as it is known that they can get away with it, they will keep coming, in ever increasing numbers, with no end. This could well be the doom of territorial America.
Boehner and the Republicrats are not going to do anything meaningful, or anything other than bluster for the cameras. Obama is not going to close the border, and he is not going to send the children home. No one is going to impeach anyone so long as the Marxocrats own the Senate.
It's going to get worse and worse, more and more heartbreaking, more and more expensive, until America herself is exhausted, and perhaps ended.
It's Cloward-Piven on super steroids.
Elections have consequences.

UTICA - Republican mayoral candidate Robert Sullivan said Tuesday that he wants a debate with Mayor Tim Julian before the Sept. 18 primary election.
A date, time and location is being planned and will be announced once finalized, Sullivan said.
PARIS - The Town of Paris Democratic Committee has rescheduled its caucus for 7 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 5, at Orchard Hall.
The meeting originally was scheduled for today.
Town justice, highway superintendent, town clerk, town supervisor, tax collector and two council positions.
You must be a registered Democrat to be considered for any of these positions.
UTICA - Democratic endorsed mayoral candidate David Roefaro has requested a formal debate with primary election opponent Daniel Trevisani.
Roefaro, who is a citywide Common Council member, said a debate is an "excellent way for the public to hear the candidates' stance on the issues."
UTICA - Robert Sullivan, a Republican candidate for mayor, said the city residency law needs to be enforced equally or be changed.
Recently, the city held a hearing to potentially dismiss two Utica police officers who moved out of Utica.
The residency law applies not only to the police department, but every city employee, Sullivan said. Unequal enforcement puts city taxpayers at risk legally, he said.
"How does a leader allow the UPD brass, from the chief on down, to ignore the residency law, yet decide to use this same law against the working class officer?" Sullivan said in a news release.
One incentive Sullivan proposes for employees to maintain city residency is to require non-residents to contribute more for health insurance plans than those who reside in Utica.
NEW HARTFORD - David J. Gordon, a candidate for Oneida County legislator, will work toward eliminating duplication of services to save taxpayers' money, according to a news release.
If elected, Gordon, a Democrat, will give more incentives to communities to maintain roads and make sure the county government operates more efficiently through consolidation efforts, Gordon said.
By having communities take over many of the services the county now offers, millions of dollars in taxpayers money could be saved, he said.

Cheshire East Council
Bid for Lyme Green fiasco apology rejected
Independent councillor Brendan Murphy, who represents Tytherington and Bollinbrook, had called on council leader Michael Jones to apologise for the scandal
Rhiannon McDowall
The Lyme Green site
Cheshire East Council's senior figures have rejected a councillor's request for a formal apology over the Lyme Green fiasco.
Independent councillor Brendan Murphy, who represents Tytherington and Bollinbrook, had called on council leader Michael Jones to apologise for the scandal, which saw the council spend more than £800,000 of taxpayers' money on a proposed waste transfer station at Lyme Green, without planning permission. Coun
Murphy made the request through a council motion.
But on Monday, the motion was rejected by Cheshire East's cabinet, which concluded that a summary report of the findings of the independent investigation into the scandal – published in June – had answered all the public concerns.
Speaking after the meeting, Coun Murphy said: "I've pointed out the damage that has been done to the reputation of the council by the way this whole thing has been handled. Public distrust is going to continue."
Coun Murphy has been a vocal supporter of the Express's campaign to get the full £225,000 report into Lyme Green released, and believes that council chiefs would have been under more pressure to do so if an apology was made.
He said: "If they make an apology they have got to make a full public disclosure.
"Until there is an apology and full disclosure this thing will never be forgotten."
He said an apology was necessary because of the anxiety caused to taxpayers and employees, the avoidable expense and the council's failure to 'maintain due diligence'.
A council spokesman said: "The Lyme Green issue has been thoroughly and independently investigated and we've said all the way through that the council regrets the circumstances that arose and we have apologised in the past.
"But we have gone much further and taken the tough measures recommended in the report to ensure it is impossible for a similar incident to occur in the future and we're happy to be judged on our deeds, not just our words."

If you have suffered an injury on either commercial or residential premises, it is important to document all facts of the accident as clearly as possible. Premises liability claims, also known as slip & fall claims, can be the most difficult cases to prove. Great care must be taken to record the facts of the accident, obtain witness statements and obtain photographs of the accident site.
Additionally, find out who the premises liability insurer is. Quite often, the premises liability policy will contain a med-pay endorsement which will pay for your accident-related medical treatment, regardless of fault. If you have been injured in a premises liabilty accident and have questions, give me a call at: 206-632-6500 so that I may assist you.


Just a few weeks ago, the Swedish Prime Minister, Fredrik Reinfeldt (Conservative) warned of growing uncertainty in European economy, because of the plan presented by French presidential candidate Francois Hollande during his campaign as a Socialist candidate.
But after the victory yesterday of the socialist, the Swedish Finance Minister Anders Borg (Concervative) feel no concern as majority of French people have now voted Hollande as their new president.
Borg sees him as a long-term politician, interested in putting pubic finances in order and to focus on good co-operation in Europe.
"The contacts I have had with people involved in economic policy in France say the incoming government will be pragmatic European Social Democrats who take responsibility as part of the European system, "said Borg, who does not believe that Hollande will require a renegotiation of the European fiscal pact.
It might, according to Borg be more about trying to get the European Investment Bank to act more actively in the EU to support growth.

Natural History Collections Receive Over 150 New Specimens
The Angelo State Natural History Collections (ASNHC) recently received more than 150 new preserved specimens donated from two private collections, and the new specimens are already on display throughout ASU's Cavness Science Building.
Specimens donated to the ASNHC by local collector Wayne MilliganThe first set of 155 small taxidermies came from the collection of local donor Wayne Milligan, a former ASU faculty member. The focus of the collection is species native to Texas, but it also features specimens from around the world. The specimens range from turkeys, ducks and various other birds and fowl – to snakes and numerous large and small mammals.
African lion packed for shipping to ASUThe second set of donated specimens contains only two items, but they are easily the most impressive in size: full-body, mounted taxidermies of a 14-foot Nile crocodile and a male African lion. Previously stored in a Florida warehouse, the specimens were donated by a private collector who thought they would be better served at a museum or educational institution.
ASU alum Adam Ferguson, a collection manager at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, heard about the collection's availability and helped facilitate the donation of the crocodile and lion specimens to ASU. Several specimens from the collection also went to the Natural Science Research Laboratory at the Museum of Texas Tech University.
The ASNHC are maintained by the ASU Department of Biology and contain more than 150,000 specimens of mammals, reptiles, amphibians, birds and plants from the Concho Valley, other regions of Texas, many other states, Mexico, Africa, Asia, Australia and even the Galápagos Islands. The collections aid student and faculty research projects, are used as teaching tools, and have been viewed by thousands of K-12 students through special guided tours.
In 2012, ASU was awarded a $480,865 grant from the National Science Foundation to modernize and digitize the ASNHC and make all the specimens available to researchers and educators around the globe on worldwide online databases. The project was completed in July 2016.

The big banks are funding a huge problem. The ongoing use of fossil fuels is jeopardising our ability to achieve a safe climate future. The coal, gas and oil industries are also damaging our environment, farmland, water resources, health and natural icons like the Great Barrier Reef.
Banks play a critical role in enabling and sustaining fossil fuel projects. Fueling the Fire exposes which banks are supporting the fossil fuel industry and helps you take action to change how these institutions invest.
With one of the big four?
Put your bank on notice!
In three simple steps, you can join thousands of customers working with us to ensure the big banks stop funding dirty fossil fuels

I believe in protecting and improving our natural environment and as a customer, I expect the same from the bank that has custody of my money. The expansion of the fossil fuel industry in Australia is threatening our land and water resources, people's health and parts of our natural environment, including iconic sites such as the Great Barrier Reef. Furthermore, the world is at a point where we need to rapidly transition away from polluting fossil fuels to clean, renewable energy if we are to avoid runaway climate change. Any new loans to coal and gas projects represent a massive risk to our prospects of keeping global warming to within manageable limits and delay the necessary action required. Thousands of customers have been leaving the major banks because of your heavy investment in the fossil fuel sector, and moving to banks that are not supporting these environmentally damaging projects. I may soon join them. I want you to unequivocally rule out future loans to coal and gas mining, transport and export projects. I want you to make this commitment directly to me, as well as publicly. If you do not make this commitment, I will be forced to close my account with you and take my money to a bank that won't use it to finance the expansion of the fossil fuel industry, climate change and environmental destruction. I look forward to hearing back from you very soon.
Yes, I want to hear more from Market Forces about this campaign
ANZ, Commonwealth Bank, NAB and Westpac loaned a combined $70.3 billion to fossil fuels around the world from 2008-2016. Of this total, $49.9b has gone to projects and companies within Australia.
Each of the big four's total lending to fossil fuels from 2008-2016 is shown in the graphics below. In the first half of 2016, the big four loaned $3.5b globally to fossil fuel projects and companies, with $480 million of that going to the local industry.
If the world is to meet its agreed goal of keeping global warming to less than 2ºC, 80% of current fossil fuel reserves cannot be burned.
By continuing to support fossil fuel companies and projects, banks are creating massive economic risks. Failure to keep a lid on global warming would be an economic, environmental and humanitarian disaster. But serious action on climate change also means that fossil fuel companies face major write downs, as they end up owning coal, oil and gas reserves that are effectively worthless. Banks supporting fossil fuel companies to develop bigger reserves are just inflating this bubble even further.
As the world moves to limit global warming, trillions of dollars of fossil fuel assets are at risk in the impending 'carbon bubble'.
Click here to find out more about the carbon bubble.
ANZ, Commonwealth Bank, NAB and Westpac have all publicly championed the internationally agreed aim to limit global warming to less than two degrees above pre-industrial levels, and committed to support the transition to a low carbon economy. But since these commitments were made in late 2015, each of the big banks continued to finance and enable new fossil fuel projects, which have no place in any serious plan to stay within the carbon budget.
Click the scorecard below to learn more about how the banks have performed against their two-degree commitments.
Export Credit Agencies are semi-governmental financial institutions that are often able to lend much more than commercial banks. Their support is integral to the success of many of the largest fossil fuel projects, such as Australia's massive LNG export ventures. Below are the major ECAs that provided finance to fossil fuel projects in Australia from 2008-2016.

The big four's lending to renewable energy is vastly overshadowed by their support for dirty fossil fuels.
For every dollar loaned to support renewable energy projects, the big Australian banks have provided eight times as much to fossil fuels on average. The graphic gives a sense of this major disparity, showing the total amount each bank loaned to fossil fuels in Australia from 2008-2016, as well as their total lending to renewables over the same period.
Worryingly, bank lending to renewables ground almost to a halt in the first of 2016, with neither ANZ nor CommBank providing a single dollar to the sector.

Having seen the worst ever bleaching event already in 2016, there's no denying our Great Barrier Reef is in desperate trouble. Its single greatest threat is climate change, and it is further damaged by increasing coastal industrialisation and shipping through its waters.
Despite the havoc wreaked by coal and gas export projects in the World Heritage Area, banks have continued to loan billions to projects like Adani Abbot Point and the three massive LNG projects at Curtis Island, with Commbank clearly the worst offender.

Retailers like J.C. Penney Co. and Macy's Inc. are considered "anchors" that keep malls humming and foot traffic flowing. They're so important to the ecosystem that smaller tenants may refuse to set up shop without a promise that the anchors will stick around: Many leases include so-called co-tenancy clauses that let them cut and run or pay less if those key tenants depart.
"Most retailers based in a mall do live or die based on an anchor," said Andy Graiser, co-president of A&G Realty Partners, a commercial real-estate adviser. "Certain retailers are going to have a risk if certain anchors go away."
"They could lose the whole inside of the mall," he said. Percy and others did note that even robust co-tenancy clauses offered limited protection for tenants; landlords are inclined to push back on any legal lease-breaking, and the cost of battling them can be prohibitive.
"We do have a limited number of co-tenancy provisions, but not to the level we would like," he said, in response to a question on whether the chain could use the provisions to close stores.
They may also sign contracts stipulating an exit only if certain anchors leave, Graiser said. "The retailer may say, yeah, I'm OK if Bon-Ton leaves, I'm OK if Sears left, but I'm not OK if Macy's, Dillard's, Neiman Marcus or Nordstrom left," he said.
Even so, landlords are going to remain under pressure, RCS's Friedman said.
"Everybody is closing stores, everybody is getting lower rents when they do their renewals," he said. And with the U.S. retail excess estimated at 25 percent, even after earlier shakeouts, "it's going to continue."
Even the departure of a weaker anchor can have a significant impact on its neighbors. Foot traffic in Buddy Kurzweil's wing of Paramus Park mall, in Paramus, New Jersey, has declined by at least half since Sears closed in February, estimates Kurzweil, the owner of Buddy's Sports Corner. His shop occupies the spot just to the right of the sealed-off Sears entrance, now fronted by a noisy children's play area.
"They come down and all they see is empty stores and a lot of little kids screaming and yelling -- that's not exactly conducive to business," Kurzweil said from behind the counter of the store he's occupied for a decade. His eight-year lease expired last year, and he's operating on an extension now. He says he feels uncertain after 45 years in the collectibles business.


Motorists are benefiting from cheaper petrol, after the pump war between the supermarket chains hotted up.
Asda was first to announce a cut of 1p a litre, a move swiftly followed by Tesco and Safeway. Sainsbury's said it would match reductions on a local basis.
The cuts comes just a week after retailers and the major petrol companies reduced their prices by between 1p and 2p a litre.
The latest fall in prices was welcomed by motoring organisations as a step in the right direction.
Richard Freeman of the AA said: "There was lot of concern that the price of petrol would increase in the run up to conflict in the Gulf so the fact it is falling is very positive.
"It is also typical of the supermarkets to be leading the way in the UK. Since they entered the petrol market in the mid 80s they have consistently been the cheapest."
The end of the Iraq war has been cited as one of the reasons for the cut in forecourt prices in Britain.
The average price of crude oil has fallen from around 30 dollars a barrel earlier this year to about 24 dollars a barrel on Friday.
Commenting on the latest cuts, Asda said: "We wanted to pass on the continuing fall in the price of crude to our customers as soon as possible."
A Safeway spokeswoman added: "The cut reflects the lower costs that we are receiving from the petrol companies." Two of the major petrol giants, Esso and BP, said they would continue to monitor prices locally and lower them where necessary.

The challenge of affordability to health insurance enrollment in the marketplace and state options to lower consumer costs are outlined in this report from the Urban Institute.
The most frequent reason that uninsured adults who visited a health insurance marketplace gave for not enrolling in marketplace coverage was affordability. Researchers found that even with subsidies, consumers still believed that health coverage was unaffordable. However, several states appeared to overcome this obstacle through unique approaches.
Minnesota uses a Medicaid waiver to provide more affordable coverage outside the marketplace to consumers with incomes up to 200 percent of the federal poverty level.
Vermont supplements federal subsidies inside the marketplace to improve affordability for consumers with incomes up to 300 percent of the federal poverty level.
Several states offer promising examples of innovative strategies for overcoming the perceived unaffordability obstacle.

Trindade – miasto i gmina w Brazylii leżące w stanie Goiás. Gmina zajmuje powierzchnię 710,33 km². Według danych szacunkowych w 2016 roku miasto liczyło 119 385 mieszkańców. Położone jest około 25 km na zachód od stolicy stanu, miasta Goiânia, oraz około 230 km na południowy zachód od Brasílii, stolicy kraju.

Około 1840 roku na tym terytorium istniało osiedle miejskie zwane Barro Preto. Podobno w jego otoczeniu, w cegielni należącej do Constantino Xavier Maria, znaleziono glinianą tabliczkę z małym wizerunkiem przedstawiającym koronację Matki Boskiej przez Trójcę Świętą. W 1843 roku w miejscu tym początkowo zbudowano prowizoryczną kaplicę kaplicą, a w 1866 roku zbudowano nową kaplicę z sanktuarium, która istnieje do dziś. Obecnie prawdopodobnie sanktuarium w Trindade jest jedynym miejscem na świecie, gdzie jest czczona figura Boga Ojca.

W 2014 roku wśród mieszkańców gminy PKB per capita wynosił 13 904,47 reais brazylijskich.

11 things you only know if you drive on the M32 in Bristol
Love it or hate it, the M32 is a vital route for motorists
It runs right into the heart of Bristol and is something many of us use every day.
Love it or hate it, the M32 is a vital route for motorists travelling from the east into the centre of the city and vice versa.
The motorway, as we now know it, was planned concurrently with the M4 during the 1960s and construction as far as Eastville was completed 1970.
The southernmost section, including junctions two and three in the centre, was delayed by engineering challenges and industrial action and did not open until 1975.
For those of us brave enough to endure it, here are 11 things you'll only know by driving on one of Bristol's busiest roads.
The 32 things which are illegal to do while driving that you probably didn't know about
1. The 'Saturday morning Ikea rush'
You do NOT attempt to drive into town on a Saturday around 11am.
If you do, prepare to be delayed by the weekly mad-rush for Ikea.
It's unavoidable. Just stay at home and wait for it to all pass over.
Anti-Donald Trump banner
2. Racism Won't Trump Our Unity
If there's one thing Bristol is known for, it's street art.
And even when it comes to the M32, you'll find some niche artwork somewhere.
Can you remember the anti-Donald Trump banner painted on a 90 metre mural in St Werburgh's? We may see it again soon with the President's expected visit to the UK this summer.
3. It's incredibly short
It might be busy, it might get congested but at least it's only a few miles long.
Or rather, 4.4 miles if we are being exact.
In fact, it ranks as one of the shortest motorways in the UK.
(FYI: The shortest is a spur from the M6 at Carnforth to the A6 near Warton, which is just 300 metres long).
Roadworks at St Paul's roundabout
The 9 everyday bad driving habits we are all guilty of which seriously punish our cars
4. The end isn't the end
Confused? I was too.
Turns out the M32 doesn't actually end at Cabot Circus, but just after the roundabout at St Paul's.
5. A broken down car means you are going to be late to work
No matter whose broken down car it is. It happens all the time and its effects are felt by everybody in all three lanes, and most of the surrounding roads too.
Dower House
6. You have always wondered what the big yellow house is
For those that would like to know, it's called the Dower House and it's one of Bristol's more prominent landmarks (thanks, in part, to its dashing yellow colour).
It was first built in 1553 and was used as a hospital during the 20th century before being converted into flats.
Much of the property is Grade II listed.
A general view of traffic near Cabot Circus
7. You pass Ikea and remember its past as the Eastville Stadium
Not everyone who drives past Ikea thinks of flat-pack furniture and Swedish meatballs.
For some Bristolians, the store used to be Bristol Rovers' football ground, Eastville Stadium.
The League One outfit left the ground in 1986 due to financial difficulties but it is where the club adopted the nickname 'The Gas', because of the stadium's close proximity to a gas holder.
Speeding in Bristol
Busiest cameras in UK are near Bristol
Night vision speed cameras piloted
How to avoid speed fines like the stars
New vulture cameras catching mobile use
Fastest speed recorded near Bristol
Man drives at 160mph on M4
Drug driver's 100mph before fatal crash
Youths riding motocross and quad bikes
8. The frustrating speed limits
The M32 should, in theory, have a 70mph speed limit, given it is a fully-fledged motorway.
But that has not been the case for the some time.
In 2014, the speed limit was cut to 40mph over fears motorists might crash through a corroded central reservation and last year, in October, the limit was cut to 30mph as part of ongoing Metrobus roadworks.
9. It's slower than Usain Bolt
In September last year, the M32 was named the second slowest motorway in the UK.
According to the study, drivers on the four mile stretch clock up an average speed of 26.15mph.
That compares to the 27.8mph achieved by Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt at the 2009 World Athletics Championships.
10. Potholes, potholes and yet more potholes
Is the M32 Britain's most fragile motorways? Quite possibly.
The Eastville flyover is particularly susceptible to potholes and is regularly closed overnight for maintenance.
The things drivers do that could land them in court if caught on dashcam
11. The speed cameras are lethal
In fact, more than 41,000 motorists have been caught speeding by newly-installed 40mph average speed cameras on the M32.
The cameras, which are located between the railway bridge at the Easton junction and the start of Newfoundland Way, went live on October 30 2017..
But some 41,125 people have already been handed fines less than a year after the cameras on the distinct yellow poles were first installed on the M32 Bristol.

-1 container of Oikos Vanilla greek yogurt for topping, optional (adds 25 cal per serving).
1. pour cherry pie filling into a casserole dish (9×9 is too large, I used an oval 8×11).
2. in a separate bowl, mix all the crust ingredients together.
3. spread crust ingredients over top of filling.
4. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes, or until golden brown.
5. Top with vanilla greek yogurt. I split one single serve container 4 ways, adding 25 calories per serving.
-4 wooden or metal skewers, soaked for about 10 min in water before prepping.
1. Place chicken pieces and marinade in a large ziplock back. Marinate at least 30 min. I usually do this about 8 hours.
3. Alternate Chicken, Onion, and Pineapple onto skewers.
4. Grill, turning regularly, for about 12 minutes on medium, or until chicken is cooked through.
5. Turn grill up to high, and cook an additional 5 min or so, turning regularly. This allows pineapple to caramelize a bit, and onion and chicken to get a nice char on them.
*As you can see, I used the "before" pic, but forgot it when actually making the kabobs….*sigh*…. there's always next time.
My Grandma and my Mom both made Goulash when I was a child, so I guess it's probably a "comfort food" for me. It's hot, hardy, delicious, and a little sweet. Really hits the spot on a fall or winter evening. There are a lot of different types of goulash. Some folks will argue that by "hungarian goulash" terms this isn't a goulash at all. However, I guess this is "hillbilly goulash" because…this is what we ate in Kentucky when I was a kid, and in my house still today. When I first calculated the calories after coming up with a "slimmed down" recipe, i was excited to see just how calorie friendly it actually can be. Serve with a mixed green salad with lite dressing if you want.
1. brown beef, onions and peppers together until done. Drain fat. At same time boil noodles al dente.
2. Add noodles to beef, then add all other ingredients.
3. Cook on medium until noodles are soft and flavors are well blended.
4. Divide equal portions into a bowl, and enjoy!
1. place chicken breasts in crockpot.
2. Mix milk and Soup together and pour over soup.
3. Mix stuffing mix and water together in a separate bowl.
4. Spread wet stuffing mixture over top of chicken and soup.
Note: THIS LOOKS TERRIBLE… it's not at all pretty to look at. So, consider yourself warned (lol) BUT it tastes great. Just scoop it all out and eat it together with a veggie on the side.

Q: Passing variables from JS to PHP I'm trying to pass a variable from JS to PHP but so far no luck. I've been searching here for solution, but it seems that nothing helps..
Ok, I have php file with pagination:
$pagination .= '
'.$i.'
';

Paginate_click launches js function:
$(".paginate_click").click(function (e) {

    $("#results").prepend('
 Loading...
');

    var clicked_id = $(this).attr("id").split("-"); //ID of clicked element, split() to get page number.
    var page_num = parseInt(clicked_id[0]); //clicked_id[0] holds the page number we need

    $('.paginate_click').removeClass('active'); //remove any active class

    //post page number and load returned data into result element
    //notice (page_num-1), subtract 1 to get actual starting point
    $("#results").load("views/fetch_articles.php", {'page':(page_num-1)}, function(){

    $(window).scrollTop(0);

    });

    $.post('views/articles_list.php', {'page':(page_num)});

    $(this).addClass('active'); //add active class to currently clicked element (style purpose)

    return false; //prevent going to herf link

});

In php file I need information which page of pagination I'm currently on so I want to retrieve page_num value back to my php. I tried this:
$.post('views/articles_list.php', {'page':(page_num)});

And in php:
$page_number = $_POST["page"];

I tried also many other options, but nothing helps. I thought it will be easier :/
As you probably noticed there's another php file (fetch_articles.php) and in this case $_POST["page"]; works. But for articles_list.php I can't use load function.
EDIT: What I want and entire code.
I have simple and nice pagination. The only problem is that it has no option for prev/next and it shows all the buttons. It's a problem when you have a lot of pages. So my idea is to shrink it down and instead of heaving 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,15,16,17,18,19 and so on I want this:
prev,1,2,3...67,68,next. To do this I need to pass to my php file an information about actual page. With this variable I can calculate everything and organize my pagination with for/if/else statements.
The code.
articles_list.php:
<?php
include("../config/connection.php");
include('../config/css.php');

$results = mysqli_query($dbc_connection,"SELECT COUNT(*) FROM articles");
$get_total_rows = mysqli_fetch_array($results); //total records

//break total records into pages
$pages = ceil($get_total_rows[0]/$item_per_page);

//create pagination
if($pages > 1)
{
$pagination = '';
$pagination .= '
';

for($i = 1; $i<=$pages; $i++)
{
    $pagination .= '
'.$i.'
';
}
$pagination .= '
'.$page_number.'
'; // only to check if variable is passed
$pagination .= '
';
}

?><!DOCTYPE html>

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

<?php $page_number = $_POST["page"];
echo $page_number; // only to check if variable is passed ?>

<?php echo $pagination; ?>

pagination.js:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#results").load("views/fetch_articles.php", {'page':0}, function() {$("#1-page").addClass('active');});  //initial page number to load

$(".paginate_click").click(function (e) {

    $("#results").prepend('
 Loading...
');

    var clicked_id = $(this).attr("id").split("-"); //ID of clicked element, split() to get page number.
    var page_num = parseInt(clicked_id[0]); //clicked_id[0] holds the page number we need

    $('.paginate_click').removeClass('active'); //remove any active class

    //post page number and load returned data into result element
    //notice (page_num-1), subtract 1 to get actual starting point
    $("#results").load("views/fetch_articles.php", {'page':(page_num-1)}, function(){

    $(window).scrollTop(0);

    });

    $.post('views/articles_list.php', {page:page_num}, function(data){});

    $(this).addClass('active'); //add active class to currently clicked element (style purpose)

    return false; //prevent going to herf link

});
});

fetch_articles.php:
<?php

include("../config/connection.php"); //include config file

//sanitize post value
$page_number = filter_var($_POST["page"], FILTER_SANITIZE_NUMBER_INT, FILTER_FLAG_STRIP_HIGH);

//validate page number is really numaric
if(!is_numeric($page_number)){die('Invalid page number!');}

//get current starting point of records
$position = ($page_number * $item_per_page);

//Limit our results within a specified range.
$result = mysqli_query($dbc_connection,"SELECT * FROM articles ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT $position, $item_per_page");

//output results from database

while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result))
{
?>

<?php echo $row['title']; ?>

<?php echo 'By '.$row['author']; ?>

<?php echo $row['header']; ?>

<a href="http://localhost/site/articles/<?php echo $row['slug'] ?>">Read

<?php
}

?>

A: Try removing the parenthesis around page_num:
$.post('views/articles_list.php', {'page':page_num});

A: You didn't said in which one of the requests you can't get the value you're trying to pass. So, I'm guessing it is in the first one:
$("#results").load(...);

The problem here is that you're using the .load() method, which is equivalent to .get(). So, when you try, in the PHP file to get $_POST["page"], it will not be there, because it is actually in the $_GET array.

A: I may be missing something here, but couldn't you just append a query string to the url manually?
$.post('views/articles_list.php?pn=' + page_num);

Then in your fetch_articles.php you just pull it off with
$page_number = $_GET["pn"];

If that fails you can always use a cookie.

A: Instead of
$.post('views/articles_list.php', {'page':(page_num)});

try
$.post('views/articles_list.php', {page:page_num}, function(data){
   console.log(data);
},'json');

And also double check if 'views/articles_list.php' is the correct path. If you were using Chrome, kindly read the parsing via right click -> inspect elements -> Network.
Addition(After posted your edit code) :-
Please remove the Doctype and HTML and leave something like this.
<?php
include("../config/connection.php");
include('../config/css.php');

$results = mysqli_query($dbc_connection,"SELECT COUNT(*) FROM articles");
$get_total_rows = mysqli_fetch_array($results); //total records

//break total records into pages
$pages = ceil($get_total_rows[0]/$item_per_page);

//create pagination
if($pages > 1)
{
$pagination = '';
$pagination .= '
';

for($i = 1; $i<=$pages; $i++)
{
    $pagination .= '
'.$i.'
';
}
$pagination .= '
'.$page_number.'
'; // only to check if variable is passed
$pagination .= '
';
}

//Assuming you're doing ajax here. so either pagination or page number posting back? if both try below.

$page_number = $_POST["page"];

echo json_encode(array("pagination"=>$pagination,"pageNumber"=>$page_number));

?>

Hope it helps.

Annotation: Steps involved in an investigation of police use of deadly force are detailed. It is suggested that police departments maintain a standard operating procedure for shooting investigations and have clearly understandable and often repeated firearms use policies.
Abstract: There are three major reasons for investigating the officer's actions in each incident of the use of deadly force; first, public accountability demands an investigation; second, the officer's actions must be reviewed from the standpoint of internal control; third, a thorough investigation protects both the department and the officer from unjust criticism. The investigation must be thorough, following the procedures for a normal homicide investigation. The principles of crime scene and physical evidence preservation must be adhered to. The victim should be transported to the nearest hospital and an officer assigned to safeguard the scene. Written statements should be taken from eye and circumstantial witnesses, and the general area should be canvassed for witnesses. Liaison with other agencies who have an interest in the incident should be quickly established. The initial offense which led to the shooting should also be thoroughly investigated, just as if the offender were apprehended and facing prosecution. Unless there is some indication of impropriety, the officer involved should not be suspended or placed on restricted duty pending the outcome of the investigation. Such action serves no purpose other than to create a feeling of guilt. The officer should be interviewed as soon as possible; if he is viewed as an accused, he must be advised of his Constitutional and civil rights. In dealing with the media, a press release recounting the incident along with a brief statement about the legal guidelines regarding the use of deadly force should be released to the press.
Note: Reprinted from Police Chief, V 45, May 1978.
