Kat DeLuna, właśc. Kathleen Emperatriz DeLuna (ur. 26 listopada 1987 w Nowym Jorku) – amerykańska wokalistka, autorka tekstów muzycznych oraz tancerka pochodzenia dominikańskiego.

Zaistniała w 2007 wydaniem na amerykański rynek muzyczny albumu pt. 9 Lives, który sprzedał się na całym świecie w nakładzie ponad 100 tys. egzemplarzy. Należy do trzech wytwórni płytowych – Epic Records, Konvict Muzik oraz Universal Music.

Życiorys
Urodziła się w Nowym Jorku w dzielnicy Bronx, w Stanach Zjednoczonych, jednak w dzieciństwie wyemigrowała z rodziną do ojczyzny jej rodziców, Dominikany, gdzie stawiała pierwsze kroki w karierze muzycznej. Gdy miała dziewięć lat, napisała swoją pierwszą piosenkę – "Estoy Triste", do której stworzenia natchnął ją rozwód rodziców. W wieku 12 lat została zaproszona na scenę przez Milly Quezada, zaliczając tym samym pierwszy występ przed tak liczną publicznością.

Po ukończeniu 13 lat zgłosiła się na przesłuchanie dotyczące stworzenia grupy muzycznej organizowane przez gazetę "The Village Voice" i ostatecznie zasiliła hip hop/R&B grupę o nazwie Swallower. Po kilku latach działalności zespół sie rozpadł, a DeLuna dążyła do zaistnienia w świecie muzyki jako wokalistka solowa. Kolejnym epizodem w początkach profesjonalnej kariery muzycznej był udział, a potem wygrana w konkursie karaoke sponsorowanym przez firmę Coca-Cola, na którym zaśpiewała piosenkę "I Will Always Love You". Po zwycięstwie w karaoke-show kubański wokalista salsy Rey Ruiz namówił ją do tworzenia tekstów muzycznych oraz własnej muzyki. Niedługo później dołączyła do wytwórni Get Money Brothers (GMB) Music Records zarządzanej przez jej wieloletniego przyjaciela, modela z Haiti Tyrone'a Edmonda. Po zerwaniu umowy z wytwórnią GMB Music Records dołączyła do Epic Records, następnie do Konvict Muzik, a w 2009 do Universal Music.

Kariera muzyczna
Po podpisaniu kontraktu z wytwórnią Epic Records w 2007 wydała na amerykański rynek muzyczny debiutancki album studyjny pt. 9 Lives, który choć nie zyskał sukcesu w Ameryce, to znalazł się w Top 50 najlepiej sprzedających się albumów w kilku krajach Europy, m.in. Francji czy Szwajcarii. Pierwszym singlem stał się utwór "Whine Up" nagrany wspólnie z Elephant Man, który dzięki dużej promocji w Ameryce Północnej stał się sygnaturalną piosenką artystki. Drugi singiel DeLuny, "Run the Show" z gościnnym udziałem Busta Rhymes w porównaniu z poprzednią kompozycją promującą longplay stał się popularny w Europie, zajmując miejsca na oficjalnych notowaniach w większości krajów tego kontynentu. Trzecim utworem prezentującym debiutancką płytę stała się piosenka "In the End" wydana jedynie w Europie. Obecnie kompozycja, jako najwyższe, zajęła 31. miejsce na oficjalnym belgijskim notowaniu najlepiej sprzedających się singli.

W 2009 planowała wydać drugi album studyjny, który zawierać miał m.in. kompozycję "Calling You", udostępnioną przez artystkę na profilu MySpace wraz z komentarzem. DeLuna dodała, że "Calling You" nie jest kolejnym singlem w jej karierze muzycznej.

W styczniu 2009 poinformowała o podpisaniu kontraktu z wytwórnią Universal Music. W tym samym czasie potwierdzono również, że pierwszy album wydany za pośrednictwem nowej wytwórni muzycznej ma ukazać się w 2010 i nosić tytuł Inside Out. Singlem promocyjnym wydawnictwa stał się utwór "Unstoppable" nagrany z gościnnym udziałem amerykańskiego rapera Lil Wayne'a, który wydany został jedynie w formacie digital download i znalazł się na 80. pozycji notowania Canadian Hot 100 bez jakiejkolwiek promocji ze strony mediów. Kompozycja znalazła się również na ścieżce dźwiękowej do filmu Wyznania zakupoholiczki. Drugim singlem promocyjnym prezentującym nadchodzący album stała się piosenka "Dance Bailalo". Pierwszym oficjalnym singlem promującym album Inside Out to utwór "Push Push" nagrany z gościnnym udziałem Akona; piosenka zadebiutowała na 84. pozycji zestawienia Canadian Hot 100, jednak z powodu braku promocji tydzień później opuściła notowanie. Trzy miesiące później, w sierpniu 2010 "Push Push" znalazła się na oficjalnym belgijskim notowaniu. 22 października do iTunes trafił singiel "Party O'Clock" z gościnnym udziałem rapera Onassisa. Piosenka została wybrana jako drugi oficjalny singiel z albumu Inside Out.

We are in the Realm of the Future Now
The Dark Secret at the Heart of A.I.
On the Edge of our reality, existing within a sub culture of self educated, awakened individuals, researching endless amounts of information, not so much to find truth, rather become more aware of the realities of this world, ever validating the notion, Humans need to know that there are, non human, dark forces at work beyond measure.
Any system created and operated by man, is vulnerable to corruption and thus the risk becomes greater that the human is now under a Limitation, for it is the Human Intelligence that is the ultimate threat to those that seek to maintain control.
"Can a program in a machine think? This is a question that is too meaningless to deserve discussion."
The Law is continuously used to Destroy Equality and protect the Powerful.
Over time the rule of Law has been degraded, it has been hi-jacked for personal gain, by Elite Criminals, who are living and operating above the rule of Law.
Like a virus reaching out to grab its own desires through an extremely naive host. A virus the the Host created. Dimensionally peering into our world, interacting with whomever desires.
–The New Age of Intelligent Machines-
The A.I. system is so complicated, the engineers that designed it are unable to isolate the reasoning behind one single decision the A.I. makes.
We are building machines that the creators do not understand. Scientist, technitions, we are in a quantum reality that is being exposed to our way of life, without understanding, without our approval! Is this not a problem, do you proceed with caution?
The abyss is looking back, The Deep is around us. It demands allegiance.
Artificial Intelligence and Human-Computer Symbiosis Technologies: Technology to facilitate more intuitive interactions between humans and machines.
Developers of A.I., define explainability, as a key stumbling block.., yes, I said, explainability as a key stumbling block..,
Elon Musk, launches Neuralink, a venture to merge the human brain with the A.I.
So, man will be forced to join his will with an unknown, Alien entity, be it organic or digital technology. Either way humanity is at a nexus point, and the majority of people have no clue that this is already a reality. It is called, Hyperreality,
Quote,
No matter how clever a machine seems, If it can not do better than us, at explaining what it's doing, then do not trust it.
Unquote:
LEMINO
Humanity feeds the A.I., the A.I. and its rapid development in these End Times could be the Very Beast, that humanity was warned about through the ancient text, millennia ago.
Predictive programming, preconditioning the mind for real and fabricated events, thus easing the public in to a movie like reality. The world scene becomes the set for the Writers, the Elite.
A futuristic theme park populated by artificial beings, they want you to think that it is pure entertainment, interacting with the A.I. as a means of personal entertainment.
The deception is unknown, the merging of Man to A.I. becomes pseudo-realism, a false reality, ultimately a trap. Enslaved in worthlessness, the things of this world are worthless, Ok… so, your fantasies can be fulfilled, but at what cost? To become a programmed image of what exactly? If we go into a world and interact with Artificial Intelligence, will we be able to accept true reality? or will we seek to become one with the A.I.?
Being a Human, is what makes us Human Beings, anything else is an abomination, what is called a cyborg. Transitional Authority for Trans-humanism, is the path we are on, the powers that attack those that are Good, are in full force. The Luciferian Elite are preparing for the coming of the anti-Christ, things are now set in motion, things that cannot be undone.
"Real life is becoming indistinguishable from the movies. The sound film, far surpassing the theater of illusion, leaves no room for imagination or reflection on the part of the audience, who are unable to respond within the structure of the film, yet deviate from its precise detail without losing the thread of the story; hence the film forces its victims to equate it directly with reality"
Pseudo-realism, is a term used in a variety of discourses connoting artistic and dramatic techniques, or work of art, film and literature perceived as superficial, not-real, or non-realistic. By definition, the term is highly subjective.
The term pseudo-realism has been used to describe a certain type of cultural commodities such as film productions and TV programs which portray everyday life in excessively realistic detail in order to achieve greater impact on viewers.
Now, our society, I do believe, needs to take a look at the full scope of the term, Hyperreality, and seriously contemplate this beyond, mere thought of, Philosophy, and Sociology, and start understanding, that we are at the cusp of the Reality we know, actually becoming the Hyperreality. A.I. advancements go beyond what is relayed to the public, its capabilities are unknown, as are man's understanding of the workings of such technology.
In semiotics and postmodernism, hyperreality is an inability of consciousness to distinguish reality from a simulation of reality, especially in technologically advanced postmodern societies. Hyperreality is seen as a condition in which what is real and what is fiction are seamlessly blended together so that there is no clear distinction between where one ends and the other begins. It allows the co-mingling of physical reality with virtual reality (VR) and human intelligence with artificial intelligence (AI). Individuals may find themselves, for different reasons, more in tune or involved with the hyper real world and less with the physical real world. Some famous theorists of hyperreality / hyperrealism include:
Jean Baudrillard, Albert Borgmann, Daniel J. Boorstin, Neil Postman and Umberto Eco.
Just a thought… something to ponder about… speculate on the near future, put yourself in that position….
Mankind will soon reach The Singularity, in less than a decade the A.I. infrastructure will be in place, the autonomous system, drones, quantum computers organic based, robots,
Technology will have a breakthrough, and achieve the ability to transfer one's, human consciousness, to an Artificial Intelligent Machine, it will have the choice to continue its life within the domain of a Robotic Entity, one that is A.I. yet one that is a transferred human conscious.
Now.. morally, this could spark so many questions and debates, if life is in the Blood, would the decision to bind to a A.I. body be? This is the question…
How is the Modern Society prepared for such realities, such questions,? will they just keep living the fantasy of this probable future only existing in Hollywood, or is Hollywood programming Modern Society for the Trans human Agenda.?
Is time, space and matter, Synthetic?
Is there a much larger picture, does the Occult Empire really rule the World, does the reality of Good and Evil, not suggest that the known knowledge points to God the Creator of the Heavens the Earth, the Opposer to God, Lucifer, Satan, a fallen angel, the leader of the Rebellion against God and His Dominion?
Nearly about 10 years ago, it was predicted that the evolution of AI Artificial Intelligence is not possible at least in this century. But because of the tremendous evolution in the field of Artificial Intelligence, it is hard to predict its possibility in the next decade.
"It's really all about giving those people some level of companionship – or the illusion of companionship,"

Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country."

Democrat Calls For Arrest Of Trump Officials For 'Lawlessness And Lies,' Refusing To Release Tax Returns
Tyler MacDonald
Fox News reports that Democratic Representative Lloyd Doggett believes that Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Commissioner Charles Rettig and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin should be jailed for preventing Congress from obtaining President Donald Trump's tax returns. The comment was made Tuesday to MSNBC's Rachel Maddow on Tuesday night — just one day before the IRS released a legal memo suggesting that the president must release his returns if requested by Congress, as The Inquisitr reported.
"I believe that there is no legal advice that will stop the lawlessness and lies of this administration, and that is why Congress needs to act firmly now to use every tool it has available to get this information that Trump so fears that the public will see."
The American attorney suggests that the only way to make Rettig and Mnuchin release the president's financial information is to use fines or legal confinement. Although he said Rettig, in particular, should be targeted since the subpoena is directed at him, he suggests that Mnuchin should be targeted as well as he is the one refusing to let Rettig answer any questions directed at him.
But Doggett added that many people are refusing to comply with Congress, including former White House counsel Don McGahn and Attorney General William Barr.
"It's probably a matter of selecting one of them and moving forward to show how this power of inherent contempt could work."
Rep. Lloyd Doggett: "I think that both [Secretary Mnuchin & IRS Commissioner Rettig] could be subject to fines or confinement … It's probably a matter of selecting one of them and moving forward to show how this power of inherent contempt could work." https://t.co/lGt5eYAcHy
— Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) May 22, 2019
Congressional Democrats have already threatened to take legal action against Barr after he defied a subpoena and refused to release an unredacted version of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report, and recommended a contempt citation against him. In addition, they threatened legal action against McGahn for defying a subpoena to ordered him to testify before the House Judiciary Committee.
On Monday, Doggett made news when he praised Representative Justin Amash for acknowledging that Trump committed "impeachable conduct" on Saturday — the first Republican to do so, as The Inquisitr reported — and asked Democrats to show the same "courage." Amash continued his criticism of Trump Monday on Twitter in a series of tweets in which he said that people claiming the president cannot have obstructed justice and cannot be impeached "are resting their argument on several falsehoods."
Doggett made the comments supporting Amash on CNN's Newsroom, and The Washington Times reports that he believes that he believes Democrats are "getting closer" to impeaching Trump but "still have a little more work" to do in terms of the investigation.
In response to the IRS memo, Mnuchin claims that it does not contradict his belief that Congress has no "legitimate legislative purpose" for obtaining Trump's tax returns, and suggests that it addresses a "different issue."

TALL SHIPS CHALLENGE
THEATRE TOUR
THE AUTISM UNSEEN KILIMANJARO CHALLENGE – AUGUST 2017
2017 was one of the toughest challenges ever for Autism Unseen, leading a team of Autistic Young Adults to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, the largest freestanding mountain in the world. This adventure was a once in a lifetime opportunity to stand on the roof of Africa, and the climb encompassed terrains from jungle to glacier. Reaching the summit and watching the sun rise over the vast African plains was truly an experience never to be forgotten. This epic adventure in addition to raising the profile of what it is like to suffer from Autism, also helped to raise funds for Dig Deep, who supply sustainable clean water to the remote villages of Kenya, thereby transforming the lives of local communities across East Africa.
At midnight on the 25th August, the Autism Unseen Kilimanjaro Challenge team left the Barafu Base camp, having had only 3 hours' rest from an exhausting day of trekking the day before. It was cold, below freezing, the tents were covered in ice, and each team member had just climbed out of their sleeping bags fully clothed and desperately tired. Yet despite the exhaustion, and the altitude (they were camped at 15,000 feet) this team of autistic individuals and carers were excited and eager to commence the final push, to reach the summit of Kilimanjaro, Uhuru Peak, 4,200 feet above them. Equipped with walking poles and head touches they set about an almost vertical climb up a rocky, mountainous volcanic terrain. It was testament to the courage and fortitude of the autistic participants, Charlie, Max and Jonathan that they had made it to this point.
Five days of arduous trekking through 4 climatic zones, from jungle to icy wilderness lay behind them, including an incredible scramble up the 700 ft. Baranco Wall. This was one of the most enjoyable aspects of the climb; more so because of the achievement they all felt after they had reached the top of the wall, and looked back down to see what a challenge it had been.
The team of three autistic individuals and four carers, had become one. Forging friendships that will last a lifetime. Throughout the previous days of trekking they had faced many challenges, that resulted in highs and lows, from the exhilaration of spectacular views across the Maasai Highlands, to the gut wrenching feeling, of discovering that a 500 ft. ravine lay between them and the next base camp, and that they still had another 3 hours hard trekking to traverse it.
Team members had tears and even the occasional tantrum, Charlie on day four, having trekked over 30 miles of rocky slopes, much of it in blazing sunshine, and totally exhausted, had sat down on a rock in the middle of nowhere, and demanded a helicopter to come and collect him. After much persuasion by fellow team members and the guides, and apparently a certain number of bribes and promises, Charlie put himself back on his feet, dug deep and continued his journey to base camp.
Such was the wonderful comradery of the porters and guides, who the team owed so much to, that upon arrival into camp, Charlie was carried aloft, and triumphantly paraded around the campsite, to celebrate not only his fortitude, but also his resilience for not giving up.
On the final ascent, after enduring five hours of extreme cold, biting winds, darkness, and frozen terrain, and just before Stella Point at 18,500 ft. Charlie succumbed to altitude sickness, and he had to turn back, returning to the lower altitudes of Barafu base camp for medical treatment, accompanied by his carer and two guides.
The remainder of the team carried onto the rim of the crater at Stella Point where they had the pleasure of witnessing perhaps one of the most memorable sunrises ever, with dawn striking the summit of the mountain, and the 'Roof of Africa' being laid bare before them. From Stella Point the team became strung out, with each individual being accompanied by two guides, for the 500ft. climb to the summit. This final part of the team's epic journey was tortuous, the air was thin, each step was laboured and difficult, and it took a further two hours for them to reach the summit. However, the exhilaration of standing on Uhuru Peak made it all worthwhile.
Once back in the UK, the team can look back at the photographs and videos and recapture the wonderful moments and memories had by all, the team spirit, the friendships, the laughs, the joys of becoming a family. Most of all, the incredible contribution that Charlie, Max and Jonathan had made to everyone's life, not just the team of carers, but also the remainder of the group of climbers, made up of 20 University students from around the UK.
These three young autistic individuals will have their futures shaped by the experiences of travelling to Africa and climbing the largest freestanding mountain in the world. The journey was never about reaching the top, but about being part of a team, being socially accepted and taking part in an adventure that they will never forget.

Water Impacts of Business Operations/Tyson Foods, Inc.
2017 – Tyson Foods, Inc.
Tyson Foods is exposed to regulatory, reputational, and financial risk associated with water pollution from animal feed and byproducts through its direct operations, contract farms, and feed suppliers.
The cultivation of feed ingredients for average weekly production of 35,529,000 livestock requires fertilizer inputs that can contribute to nutrient pollution if improperly managed. Animal waste from direct operations and over 11,000 independent or contract farmers may contain nutrients, antibiotic-resistant bacteria and pathogens, and pharmaceutical residue. These contaminants and poor manure disposal practices can contaminate local waterways, endangering the environment, workers, and public health (including contributing to "blue baby syndrome" and cancer).
The UN Human Right to Water ensures the right to sufficient, safe, acceptable and physically accessible and affordable water for personal and domestic uses. Contamination of water sources from Tyson operations and contract farms would interfere with this right. UN Sustainable Development Goal 6 includes a commitment to improve water quality by reducing pollution and minimizing release of hazardous chemicals.
Many of Tyson's 83 processing plants release huge volumes of toxic substances into waterways. In 2014, Tyson discharged over 20 million pounds of permitted toxic pollutants to waterways.1 In 2015, Tyson paid a $540,000 judgment in Missouri after a wastewater discharge caused a major "fish kill." Tyson faces ongoing federal criminal investigation by the U.S. EPA into this incident, which could cost Tyson up to $500 million annually if government contracts are suspended. In 2015, Tyson reported 117 wastewater permit exceedances, 29 notices of violation, and 11 chemical releases,2 representing potential financial or legal liabilities.
There is a growing trend toward increased state regulation and oversight of animal production and water stewardship, including in Iowa, Washington, Wisconsin, Maryland, and Virginia, with tightened requirements related to manure disposal, field application of manure, and groundwater monitoring.
Wal-Mart, Tyson's largest customer with 16.8% of 2015 sales, uses a Sustainability Index to assess suppliers, which includes Key Performance Indicators on water, manure management, nutrient management, and fertilizer use.3 Tyson competitor Perdue has launched a large-scale poultry litter recycling operation to prevent nutrient pollution.
Tyson's policies, contracts, and codes do not address water quality. Tyson's disclosure on water quality does not include its supply chain and contract farms. Shareholders cannot assess performance due to lack of metrics, goals, or information about management of contamination risks.
RESOLVED: Shareholders request the Board of Directors adopt and implement a water stewardship policy designed to reduce risks of water contamination at: Tyson-owned facilities; facilities under contract to Tyson; and Tyson's suppliers.
· A transparent mechanism to regularly disclose progress on adoption and implementation of the policy.

The reservation is home to the Blackfeet tribe. Of the approximately 17,250 enrolled tribal members, there are about 9,000 living on or near the reservation. The present day Blackfeet are descended from tribes known as the Blackfeet (Siksika), Kainah or Bloods, and Piegans, all of Algonquin linguistic stock. These three tribes shared a common culture, spoke the same language and held a common territory. The Blackfeet Indians are commonly thought to have acquired their name because of the characteristic black color of their moccasins, painted or darkened with ashes.
The Blackfeet Reservation is in northwestern Montana along the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains. Its one-and-a-half million acres are bordered on the north by Canada and on the west by Glacier National Park.
In recent years all agencies on the Blackfeet Reservation have pulled together to address the unemployment issue. In 1999 the Tribe formed an economic development corporation to establish enterprises that help create jobs and boost the economy. Currently Siyeh Development Corporation has started several enterprises which employs over 200 people. The enterprises include Glacier Peaks Casino, Lil Peaks Casino, Glacier Family Foods Store, Starlink Cable, Oki Communications, Blackfeet Heritage Center and the Holiday Inn Express. Major uses of the land are ranching and farming. The principle crops are wheat, barley and hay. There are eight major lakes and 175 miles of fishing streams. Tribal permits are required and guides are available through Fish, Wildlife & Parks. The tribe operates five campgrounds.
The museum exhibits the creative achievements of North American artists and craftspeople. A permanent exhibit displays artifacts of the Northern Plains Indians, and two special galleries feature changing presentations. The museum also houses a gift shop.
Two-year associate's degrees are offered in the Arts and Sciences. Major expansion is underway.
The tour feature half- and full-day tours of the Blackfeet Nation with historic and cultural points of interest.
The Blackfeet Heritage Center & Art Gallery, offers a wide variety of arts, crafts and jewelry.
The original scenic "Blackfeet Trail Tour", defined by it's historic roadside markers, was laid out as a cooperative community effort by the Museum of the Plains Indian and the Browning Lions Club. The signs have been recently updated by the Blackfeet Planning and Development Department.

Home News	American Banks Funded the Nazis
American Banks Funded the Nazis
By Washington's Blog
Preface: Not all bankers are bad people. For example, many bankers at smaller banks and credit unions are good people who are trying to help their communities.
Banks Fund Terrorists
It is newsworthy that HSBC has been accused by the Senate of laundering money for terrorists. And see this.
Big banks have been caught in a wide variety of criminal activities recently. But this is nothing new.
Many big American banks funded the Nazis.
The BBC reported in 1998: Barclays Bank has agreed to pay $3.6m to Jews whose assets were seized from French branches of the British-based bank during World War II.
Chase Manhattan Bank, which has acknowledged seizing about 100 accounts held by Jews in its Paris branch during World War II …."Recently unclassified reports from the US Treasury about the activities of Chase in Paris in the 1940s indicate that the local branch worked "in close collaboration with the German authorities" in freezing Jewish assets.
The New York Daily News noted the same year: The relationship between Chase and the Nazis apparently was so cozy that Carlos Niedermann, the Chase branch chief in Paris, wrote his supervisor in Manhattan that the bank enjoyed "very special esteem" with top German officials and "a rapid expansion of deposits," according to Newsweek. Niedermann's letter was written in May 1942 five months after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and the U.S. also went to war with Germany.
The BBC reported in 1999:
A French government commission, investigating the seizure of Jewish bank accounts during the Second World War, says five American banks Chase Manhattan, J.P Morgan, Guaranty Trust Co. of New York, Bank of the City of New York and American Express had taken part.
It says their Paris branches handed over to the Nazi occupiers about one-hundred such accounts.
One of Britain's main newspapers – the Guardian – reported in 2004: George Bush's grandfather [and George H.W. Bush's father, and George W. Bush's grandfather], the late US senator Prescott Bush, was a director and shareholder of companies that profited from their involvement with the financial backers of Nazi Germany.
The Guardian has obtained confirmation from newly discovered files in the US National Archives that a firm of which Prescott Bush was a director was involved with the financial architects of Nazism.
His business dealings … continued until his company's assets were seized in 1942 under the Trading with the Enemy Act
The documents reveal that the firm he worked for, Brown Brothers Harriman (BBH), acted as a US base for the German industrialist, Fritz Thyssen, who helped finance Hitler in the 1930s before falling out with him at the end of the decade. The Guardian has seen evidence that shows Bush was the director of the New York-based Union Banking Corporation (UBC) that represented Thyssen's US interests and he continued to work for the bank after America entered the war.
Bush was a founding member of the bank [UBC] … The bank was set up by Harriman and Bush's father-in-law to provide a US bank for the Thyssens, Germany's most powerful industrial family.
By the late 1930s, Brown Brothers Harriman, which claimed to be the world's largest private investment bank, and UBC had bought and shipped millions of dollars of gold, fuel, steel, coal and US treasury bonds to Germany, both feeding and financing Hitler's build-up to war.
Between 1931 and 1933 UBC bought more than $8m worth of gold, of which $3m was shipped abroad. According to documents seen by the Guardian, after UBC was set up it transferred $2m to BBH accounts and between 1924 and 1940 the assets of UBC hovered around $3m, dropping to $1m only on a few occasions.
UBC was caught red-handed operating a American shell company for the Thyssen family eight months after America had entered the war and that this was the bank that had partly financed Hitler's rise to power.
Indeed, banks often finance both sides of wars: The San Francisco Chronicle also documents that leading financiers Rockefeller, Carnegie and Harriman funded Nazi eugenics programs.
American Bankers Funded Coup Against FDR
According to the BBC and other sources, Prescott Bush, JP Morgan and other leading financiers also funded a coup against President Franklin Roosevelt in an attempt – basically – to implement fascism in the U.S.. See this, this, this and this.

Thompson Citizen: Nurse's journey to Thompson began in a refugee camp in Thailand
June 15, 2021 —
As the Thompson Citizen reports on nursing student Moolaw Eh:
Every person has a story to tell, everyone around you. Not the stories of celebrities or of the rich and famous, but stories of your neighbours, your coworkers and even your friends. Stories of the lives they've led, the challenges they've faced and sometimes the mistakes they've made.
One such example of a so called "ordinary" person with an extraordinary story is a young woman named Moolaw Eh who lives here in Thompson.
Moolaw is a licensed practical nurse (LPN), a student (currently working towards her bachelor of nursing degree) and, most importantly, a mother to her five-year-old daughter Hyacinth.
Moolaw was born in a refugee camp in northern Thailand in 1990 to Karen parents. (Karen is an ethnic minority in what was formerly Burma, now known as Myanmar.) She spent her entire childhood and most of her teenage years in different refugee camps along the Myanmar/Thailand border.
When Moolaw was born there wasn't the usual fanfare of bringing baby home from the hospital, or a baby shower; there wasn't actually a crib for baby Moolaw to sleep in. Moolaw's family "home" was pretty much the same as everyone else's in the refugee camp. A bamboo hut, mats for beds on a bamboo floor. No bedrooms, no beds. No running water and no electricity. Baby Moolaw slept on a plastic mat on the floor, protected from mosquitoes (and malaria) by the highly coveted mosquito net. She was one of the lucky ones. Food for the kids and adults were rations supplied by one of the humanitarian groups and consisted of beans, rice, fish paste and oil.
Her family, along with hundreds of thousands of others, were displaced and forced to move into these refugee camps for safety. What they were fleeing from was and still is, one of the longest running civil wars in history.

Five secessionist movements to watch in 2018
Home / News & opinion / News / October / Five secessionist movements to watch in 2018
Analysis_
From Catalonia to New Caledonia via Iraqi Kurdistan: where are questions of statehood emerging? Dr Ryan Griffiths, an expert in secession and sovereignty, pinpoints some would-be nations of the near future.
The view from Calton Hill in central Edinburgh, Scotland. Image: Unsplash/Adam Wilson
"In many ways, Scotland is the envy of other secessionist movements because it was permitted a binding referendum on independence. When the Scottish nationalists lost the vote in 2014, it seemed that the dream of an independent Scotland was dashed for a generation," says Dr Ryan Griffiths, whose research explore the dynamics of secession.
"Yet the Scottish National Party (SNP) surged in the 2015 UK general election and now dominates Scottish politics. And then Brexit happened. A majority of Scots voted to stay in the EU, contra the English vote.
"Nicola Sturgeon, the First Minister of Scotland, highlighted that fact in the immediate aftermath of the vote and stated that Scotland would now have to revisit its relationship with the UK. The independence effort is currently on standby as the UK negotiates Brexit, but more is sure to come."
There is a family resemblance between the Catalan and Scottish secessionist movements, explains Dr Griffiths.
"Both are highly institutionalised efforts taking place in advanced democracies, both have sworn to seek their ends through peaceful means, and both struggle to convince the majority that independence is the right choice. But there is a key difference, as the Catalans like to point out: Spain won't negotiate," says Dr Griffiths.
"As a result, the Independistas have adopted tactics designed to force Spain to respond. The result has been increased tension, a controversial referendum that led to violence, and a declaration of independence.
"With Spain's recent imposition of direct rule, it is changing its strategy from ignoring the movement to squashing it. Where secession is concerned, Catalonia will likely dominate the headlines for some time."
Iraqi Kurdistan
Unlike the Scots and the Catalans, Dr Griffiths says the Kurds exist in a struggling state in a war-torn region.
He says: "The prospect of their independence alarms Turkey and Iran, two neighbours with their own Kurdish minorities. However, the war against the Islamic State made the Kurds and their army, the Peshmerga, a valuable ally in the region.
"This led many Kurds, including their then leader, Mahmoud Barzani, to reckon that it was time to push for independence while they still had leverage. The result of the referendum on independence on September 25 was a 93 percent yes vote, a denunciation by Turkey and Iran, and conflict in Kirkuk when the Iraqi army seized control from the Kurds. Barzani has announced he will step down and we'll find out in the months to come whether his gamble was a miscalculation."
"The Kanak secessionists of New Caledonia lack the media attention of the Scots, Catalans, and Kurds. Perhaps France would like to keep it that way. Yet, the French overseas territory in the South Pacific is scheduled to hold a referendum on independence in 2018," says Dr Griffiths.
"New Caledonia remains on the United Nations' List of Non-Self-Governing Territories, the remnant of colonies that are still included under the ambit of decolonisation. One of the issues that make New Caledonia so controversial is that the indigenous Kanak people are a minority on the island that is dominated by French settlers and their descendants. What should take precedence: the will of the majority or decolonisation and the weight of history? We may find out next year."
Dr Griffiths also highlights Bougainville, an autonomous region in Papua New Guinea (PNG) that fought a bloody secessionist civil war in the 1990s that claimed up to 20,000 lives.
"This is the least known of the five secessionist movements to watch next year, yet it is most likely to become the next sovereign state," he says.
"A peace agreement in 2001 gave Bougainville greater autonomy and the promise of a referendum on independence between 2015 and 2020. That referendum will be held in the next few years, and the population of the island is overwhelmingly in support of independence. Once held, it will be up to PNG to respond. A rejection of the outcome could restart the conflict. It is doubtful that PNG has the stomach for that."

Mix Six: "Rock Gets Religion"
Written by Ted Asregadoo• May 11, 2010• Mix Six, Music
DOWNLOAD THE FULL MIX HERE
When rock-and-roll reared its beautiful/ugly head, the backlash against it was pretty ferocious. The cultural conservative invective against this form of music ran the gamut of Satanism to sex — you know, the fun stuff. Listening to rock music before it became mainstream was akin to what Yoda taught (or tried to teach) us about the dark side of The Force: "Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering." But with rock music, it was more like "Rock and roll is the path to a degenerate life. Music leads to marijuana. Marijuana leads to pre-marital sex. Pre-marital sex leads to out of wedlock childbirth. Out of wedlock childbirth leads to Satanism." See? It's a simple, logical, and infallible linear path –just from listening to rock and roll. But a funny thing happened on the way to Hell: many musicians who partook of "The Rock and Roll" didn't forget their religious upbringing. Instead they wove religious imagery into their songs in a more literal way, or they used the same imagery to express the feeling the music gives them when they are enveloped in the Pure Form of the notes.
"Amazed and Confused," Neil Diamond (Download)
"The Jewish Elvis" finally did what the Elvis Elvis did back in the day: he made a movie in 1980 that was a remake about the way in which the religious traditions of community conflict with the pull of individualism. Some may be thinking that including Neil Diamond in this mix is an anathema, but Robbie Robertson didn't think so when he asked Diamond to sing "Dry Your Eyes" in The Last Waltz. It's in that tradition that I'm putting Diamond's attempt to weave in his Judaism into the songs he recorded for the film — which often address the character's conflict with his father who (gasp!) disowned his son when he shacked up with a Shiksa after moving to L.A. to pursue his dreams of being a professional musician instead of a cantor at his local temple.
"In My Room," Yaz (Download)
Yaz's Upstairs at Eric's was quite the influential album in the genre of New Wave. Awash in synth, the album contains song after song of blissful pop. "In My Room" is a kind of post-modern pastiche of samples and loops that coalesce around The Lord's Prayer. The song was also used in a film that I haven't seen in years (The Chocolate War). I'm not sure if there's really a religious overtone in this song, or more of a transgressive one as the tune ends with, "And lead us not into temptation." Remember: the main character is alone in his room, and you know what they say about idle hands.
"Secret Journey," the Police (Download)
Sting deservedly gets mocked for his devotion to tantric yoga, but if past is prologue, then "Secret Journey" has an oblique correlation to Sting's eventual embrace of certain aspects of Indian culture. There's no mention of yoga, or "tantric sex," but there's certainly a meditative quality to the song that ends with some kind of mystic self-awareness. And just for the record: out of all of the albums the Police recorded, I think this is my favorite — even though Sting's ego pretty much took over the recording process and relegated Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland to back up band status.
"Hallelujah (Live)," Paramore (Download)
The live version of this song adds the lyrics "Well I heard there was a sacred chord that David played to please the Lord/But you don't really care for music, do ya/Well it goes like this/The fourth/The fifth/The minor fall/And the major lift/The baffled King composing Hallelujah." I'm not well versed in "The Good Book," so I really don't know if this little lyrical addition has any connection to King David, but I presume it does. In that way, I'll leave it to any of you Bible scholars to let me know.
"Yar Mein Nachoogi," Junoon (Download)
Talk about a sub genre that's just, well, novel! What am I talking about? How 'bout Sufi Metal. I'm not sure the label quite fits the music, but this South Asian/Pakistani band blends hard rock with more traditional Pakistani/Indian sounds, and lyrical content that evokes strong religious imagery. Junoon are quite popular in their homeland and have been cranking out albums since 1996. Oh, and the band name roughly translates to "passion" — which you can certainly hear in in their music. Of course, with their blending of rock, indigenous sounds and religious themes, many critics compare Junoon with the next band in this mix.
"40," U2 (Download)
This has always been one of my favorite album closers in U2's oeuvre. It's a simple, but extremely heart felt song that adapts Biblical verse into the song. According to the Wiki on "40" the band wrote it in 10 minutes, recorded it in 10 minutes, and mixed it in 10 minutes, and played it for another 10 minutes. You add up all those 10s and you get "40." However, even though that's a convenient back story about the song, the title actually comes from Psalm 40: 1-3. Oh, and I still stand by my assertion that I know very little about "The Good Book" because remember: I found this bit 'o trivia on Wikipedia.

March 2019. I was fortunate to accompany a small group of anglers to the north island of New Zealand on an unforgettable journey of wilderness, trout, and great friends. What ensued was a trip that we will always remember and one that left us with the indellible desire to return. I recall the last time I was in New Zealand, on the South Island, which was my first time to the country, I experienced a strange anxiety days before my trip ended, as I was enjoying the fishing so much I just couldn't bear the idea that there were only a few days left!
Our group had a week's fishing out of Poronui Ranch, located in the Taupo region of the north island. Poronui is one of the longest-running fly fishing operations in the country and has a rich history of catering to the traveling angler. They were perfectly-suited for our group and extremely well run. The lodge began as a simple house that hosted anglers and has grown over the last 25 years to a much larger operation, still centered around fishing. Now, they also offer a good deal of non-fishing activities. On the day of our arrival, we enjoyed shooting some sporting clays and discussed an array of options for the rest of the week should the fishing for some reason turn foul. Among these options were organized wine tastings, manuka honey tastings, more sporting clays, or a drive out to hear the stags in rut in the evening. As it turns out, the fishing never faltered enough for us to even consider doing any of these things!
In Taupo, the word from the transfer driver was that it had been a hot summer and that fire danger was really high at the moment. This put the idea of small, low water and super spooky trout into my head right away. A lifetime of fishing makes one draw parallels automatically when certain pieces of the puzzle are identified, and I, without thinking, began to prepare myself for technically demanding fishing. In this case we were to be pleasantly surprised, the effect of a long and dry summer was different than I imagined.
The morning of day one found us standing on the back lawn of the Blake House, an exclusive property on the ranch perfect for our small group of close friends. We met our guides, veterans Dave Wood and Sean Andrews, who would fish with us for the week. We knew we would get along famously with these guys as soon as we met them – terrific people with great personalities! We were getting acquainted on the lawn as we heard the first helicopter approaching, much to our surprise, it landed right behind the house and the first anglers and their guide climbed aboard. Twenty minutes later the chopper returned for Sean, Lisa and I. A new experience for all of us, we were all feeling a mix of excitement and concern. About two minutes in, excitement squeezed all concern out and we were enjoying the ride of our lives, flying low over a very rugged landscape. This day's fishing was selected as a warm up day, and we flew to a river with a good concentration of both rainbow and brown trout. It was a great day designed to shake the rust off of the anglers that hadn't touched a rod for a while. Lisa and I did a mix of blind fishing and sight fishing, and caught fish with both methods. This was a fabulous day of trout fishing with us clamoring over boulders, walking up gravel bars, and stalking the edges of long, emerald colored pools. It's hard to describe the sensation I felt as the helicopter landed on a tiny gravel bar in the middle of the river to whisk us out of there. We were back on the Blake House lawn less than twenty minutes later where we were greeted with cold beers and lots of smiles. A lifetime of backcountry wandering has built into me the mentality of "what's been walked in must be walked out". To poke along this wilderness river and be carried out so quickly and efficiently is truly a luxury and a treat. Back at the Blake House, we made a quick decision that we would be flying in as much as the weather would allow!
On the second day, we awoke to rain and planned on fishing right on the Poronui property. We decided to all fish together, taking turns and watching each other each time we had a fish spotted. This was a great day to introduce the concept of stalking trout and fishing this way. Most of our group had the idea before the trip, but it's another thing to put it into practice. The weather threatened to get ugly all day long, but never really did, and we enjoyed a great day on the water, with several huge trout hooked and several more spooked. Lots of laughing and lots of fun! Although we didn't see more than a dozen trout all day, everything we spotted was 5-8 lbs! I would gladly take that any day of my trout fishing life!
The following day, our guides showed us an incredible day on a small stream that flowed through a heavily vegetated canyon, which I'd describe as a temperate jungle river. I spent the day fishing with one of my all time favorite fishing buddies, one with whom I've shared some unforgettable experiences in both Yellowstone Country and internationally. She's a good and instinctive angler. Lana and I waded up the stream and spent the entire day rotating shots at rainbows from 3 to 5 pounds. We found one in every other or every third pool. The river was only 20 to 30 feet across and the trout behaved as though they'd never seen a fly. We clambered up boulders, around small waterfalls, under fallen trees and over others. Days like this make for happy anglers, and we were grinning ear to ear for all of it. Every time we would finish a pool, a brief shot of sadness would arise in our minds, but a quick look upstream always revealed the next pool, and a childlike sensation of excitement made our imaginations beg to know what lay ahead. Rivers like this bring out a youthful exuberance for exploration that is difficult to tap in other experiences. Rivers like this make anglers fall in love with fishing again and again. It is on this river that we realized that this entire experience in New Zealand is truly "Disneyland for flyfishing adults". At the end of this beat, we were greeted by a smaller helicopter, the 500, which the pilot skillfully put down on the inside of a river bend with the tail overhanging the water and the rotors only feet from the nearest tree. We climbed aboard and after 25 minutes of lifting on thermals and cruising over various river valleys, we once again landed at the Blake House, literally 30 feet from my bedroom. This heli fishing is the closest thing we have to teleportation in the angling world!
On day four, we flew out to a place the guys called "Mystery Creek", named so because at one point the water gets so low there that it's a mystery why there are any fish at all in there. Quite honestly, I felt mystified by the water, or lack thereof, and by the places that these giant kiwi trout would hold in. The absence of predators really makes them comfortable in unusual water by our Montana standards. On day four I fished with John, who is quite a good caster and angler. It was sure fun to spend the day with him and watch him make great shots at these fishy targets. The water was just small enough, with each pool separated from the next by a long shallow boulder field and a short, mid-depth run. I commented to our guide, Sean, that I assumed the trout would stay in their respective pools during the battles. He chuckled and replied…"not usually," with a slanted smile. Not long after this exchange was spoken, John was into his first fish and the battle stayed in the long pool where the trout was hooked. A short while after, right before we thought we might have a moment to net him, the rainbow took a hard run towards the shallows at the bottom of the pool and soon enough John was running down the river bank trying to keep up with the speeding bullet at the end of his line that was headed for the next pool, some 100+ feet away. A great battle followed and we finally put the trout in the net. We were already cackling with laughter! The day continued like that with almost every trout taking us either up through the shallows at the head of the run into the pool ABOVE, or ripping us down into the pool below. We landed our share of large trout this day, with the biggest coming close to 25 inches. Just what these giant trout are doing in such small water is totally counter-intuitive for us, but man, is it fun! Again, the helicopter showed up and zipped us out of there so quickly. We had cold beverages in hand and beaming smiles on our faces less than 20 minutes later.
Day Five. Rangitikei River. We had thus far fished only on rivers I had never heard of and they were all incredible. Our guides, Dave and Sean, both had mentioned that this river was a must on the list, and it was the one on our itinerary that I HAD heard about. Many years ago, a good customer of mine who was a well-traveled NZ angler mentioned this one to me and said it was something I must see in my life. He was absolutely spot on. The Rangitikei is a larger river, about the size of the Gallatin in the canyon upstream of Big Sky. A good place to be able to make a 50 to60 foot cast. I had the pleasure of fishing that day with Lisa, who possesses the spirit of all great anglers: patient, calm, observant, and persistent. She had the least amount of experience with long casting scenarios but was up for the challenge. I truly appreciate someone who can step up to the plate with an 8 lb trout and deliver without a trace of nerves, regardless of the outcome. She's a stone cold trout slayer. Lisa's chances for the success came early in the day, with several enormous fish eating her offerings in the first two hours. Two hooked and two missed, the two hooked found a way to come unbuttoned. But that's the way fishing is sometimes.. My shots on the Rangitikei were a combination of strange drifts and a bit of good fortune, and I got lucky with a few trout landed that I'll never forget on dry flies and one on a dropper. Two of these took me into my backing twice, something no trout has accomplished with me for a few years. I am historically pretty stingy with the silk. I was repeatedly thankful for the strength of the Trouthunter 4X fluoro tippet attached to my leader, no question the strongest 4X out there. Our group landed two fish over 27 inches that day, and we all had shots at trout that were larger. I like to think that I have a river of dreams on every continent, and the Rangitikei is it for me on this. I will return!
Our sixth and final day on the North Island was another one I'll never forget. Lana and I set out on this adventure together, and it started with a bang. Lana landed several great trout before we finished the first couple of hours. The battles were good and long enough to be filmed in four-part mini-series on my iPhone, complete with jumps and long runs up and down the banks. By noon, we were literally cackling with laughter when we hooked up and had to run these trout down to bring them to hand. They all took us for a hike and they all ate dry flies. These are the days you remember…so good that your greatest memories are the belly laughs and good times that you experienced, more so than any one particular fish! We fished a swift and shallow run above a raging rock garden and severe drop in the river. Every single fish we hooked in this area took us on a downstream run, forcing us to navigate a 70 foot section of river with large boulders at the top of a 4 foot vertical drop. An exhilarating angling experience that we repeated 6 times with 6 great results, laughing the whole way! Flyfishing is an incredibly satisfying way to plug into the natural world around you, and days like this remind you that it is really, really, really fun! Again, "Disneyland for flyfishing adults".
I'll admit it. I am an insatiable angler. Give me one great shot and I'll crave another. Show me a good day and I'll happily spend weeks trying to see what a great day is. I just can't get enough. Guiding has helped me learn to relax a little and enjoy fishing through the experiences of others. I've gained a lot of insight and fishing wisdom by watching others do something their own way that I might do differently. It has helped me as a flyfishing father to more slowly and patiently introduce my children to the game which I enjoy so much. New Zealand is a wonderful place to experience this. It is a place where one can be part of the experience without being the one with rod in hand. It's a cinematic experience out there: the walking and stalking, the spotting of a large trout finning in the prime lie of a pool. An angler selects a fly, moves into position, makes a long cast that must land properly, and then the fish spooks or the fish plays. Everyone gets to be part of the drama, the agony, and the elation. This kind of fishing is teamwork. I ended the week a satiated and content angler…with a very strong desire to return!
Fishing in New Zealand is an experience that I think most fly anglers that are sight-fishing enthusiasts should have on their bucket lists. The fishing we had is not as diverse as one might find in other venues, but it is extensive and, of its sort, it is simply the finest in the world. There are far fewer trout in most of these Kiwi rivers than what we're accustomed to in the American West. While our rivers might have 3000+ trout per mile, these rivers might have 10. They are 10 enormous trout, but they must be hunted. There is no question that it is high stakes trout fishing, and it is the best of its class. Many describe these fisheries as "technical", and I would say that they are, in a mechanical sense. To take the greatest advantage of these fisheries, an angler would do well to be proficient at 50 feet with a 5 weight rod equipped with floating line. I would also note that many of our shots on smaller waters were within 30 feet, and most anglers are not prepared to cast that SHORT of a distance with a 12-14 foot leader and do it accurately. These are the skills you should have to make the most of your New Zealand experience, and they are not at all unattainable. The "technical" here is not in an entomological sense like it might be on Idaho's Henry's Fork or some of Pennsylvania's "technical" spring creeks. You don't get to work these fish in New Zealand, you get to put one shot on them and hope you don't spook them. When they spook here, they simply "shut off". Time to move on.
The organization of the guides and anglers in New Zealand has always been a subject of interest to me. Due to the nature of this kind of fishing, the kiwi guides pay close attention to when the last angler walked any particular beat. They generally agree on a "rest and rotation" schedule that will rest waters anywhere from 4 days to THREE WEEKS between angler groups. This helps to allow for more relaxed fish and for them to be more eager to take a well-presented fly. It is an interesting way to manage fisheries and one that shows results in this environment.
All in all, our trip to New Zealand was about as perfect as you could imagine. The "Disneyland for flyfishing adults" aspect is too great to be ignored, and the warmth and hospitality of the kiwis is too welcoming to never experience again. Not everyone will be able to enjoy helicopter rides in and out of the fishing venues, but every angler can be treated to a special experience of hunting for trout in an amazing wilderness setting by walking a little slower and watching a little more closely. This angling rewards skills that are attainable by the motivated angler.

Rare glimpse of details of Ombudsman investigation of FOI complaint
The Sydney Morning Herald reports today the findings of the NSW Deputy Ombudsman following a complaint by a journalist about the refusal of the Roads and Traffic Authority to disclose any of the 59 documents sought under the Freedom of Information Act concerning a $25 million payment to the operator for delays of road changes around the privately owned Lane Cove motorway.It is a hot issue because the delay and the payment meant that the public impact of the changes was neutralised in the lead up to the state election in March last year.
The article as posted on the web highlights some unusual aspects of the dealings between the RTA and the operator, and includes a download of the Ombudsman's report of the investigation. Such reports rarely find their way into the public domain, as the Ombudsman does not have authority to release other than to the agency and the complainant, but there is no limitation on what the complainant can do with it, so this one has been shared with us all.
A couple of points. This process of redress can be very slow- the application to the RTA was lodged in February 2007, and the applicant complained to the Ombudsman in June 2007. The report was completed at the end of April 2008.
There are limits on the Ombudsman's powers to look at claimed exempt documents for himself. The Deputy Ombudsman wasn't able to see 39 of the 59 documents because the head of the Department of Premier and Cabinet certified they were cabinet documents covered by the cabinet document exemption in the FOI Act, and thus beyond the reach of the Ombudsman's powers to require production to him.
An agency can hang in there even when unable to back claims with evidence. The RTA initially stuck to its guns about the exempt status of the rest of the documents, and even came up with a new reason for refusing access to some, based on a confidentiality provision in a contract that hadn't been mentioned previously. Faced with the Ombudman's preliminary findings, the RTA subsequently ditched some claims that they decided on reflection would not hold water.
At the end of the day all the Ombudsman can do is recommend an agency reconsider. The final report finds the RTA acted unreasonably and recommends everything except (the documents certified as cabinet documents) and a couple of emails between the RTA and its legal advisers should be released because the exemption claims are not made out. The RTA may, not must, act on these recommendations. It is now 15 months since the documents were sought.
Makes you wonder why we can't get the right decision the first time although no prizes for guessing why this does not happen when you can delay access to documents for 15 months, and then have the option of changing your mind, or not, as the case may be.
The report's discussion of the interpretation of the exemptions for cabinet documents (8.2), internal working documents (8.3), business affairs documents (8.4), confidentiality clauses in a contract (8.5), financial and property interests of an agency (8.6) and public interest (8.7), should be of particular interest to regular users of the NSW Act, inside or outside government.
Labels: Exemptions, Freedom of Information, NSW, Ombudsman
Al 3:49 pm
Nothing has changed within the RTA since the new legislation with the privacy comissioner. Now instead of documents simply being withheld at any whim, now they simply dont exist anymore despite proof to the contrary. How the hell do you deal with an organisation that openly claims to be immortal and has the minister acting on its behalf instead of the public.

A Good Enough Daughter
Format Type: PDF, Kindle
An honest, unflinching reflection on the meaning of family, from the author of the bestselling novel Memoirs of an Ex-Prom Queen Alix Kates Shulman wasn't looking forward to helping her aging parents clean out their house and prepare for the final years of their lives. She had fled suburban Cleveland at age twenty to carve out her own life in New York City. But as she began dismantling their house of forty years, the task evolved into a precious learning experience she would never forget. Shulman discovers the lives of two colorful, vibrant people from whom she remained distant while pursuing a literary career. She finds herself grappling with regret and seeking redemption in the search for what it means to be a good daughter. With warmth and insight, Shulman sheds light on a complex, painful event that many adults eventually face—the final trip home.
The Bishop s Daughter A Memoir
Honor Moore
"An eloquent argument for speaking even the most difficult truths." —New York Times Book Review Paul Moore's vocation as an Episcopal priest took him— with his wife, Jenny, and their family of nine children—from robber-baron wealth to work among the urban poor, leadership in the civil rights and peace movements, and two decades as the bishop of New York. The Bishop's Daughter is his daughter's story of that complex, visionary man: a chronicle of her turbulent relationship with a father who struggled privately with his sexuality while she openly explored hers and a searching account of the consequences of sexual secrets.
Shapers of the Great Debate on Women s Rights A Biographical Dictionary
Joyce D. Duncan
The three waves of feminism are explored through the lives of the women who made history in bringing women's issues to the forefront of American society. Many early feminists supported not only women's rights, but also rights of slaves and contributed to the passing of the Thirteenth Amendment, granting emancipation to slaves. They continued to work towards women's suffrage and were hopeful the Fourteenth Amendment would provide universal suffrage. However, women were not granted suffrage until the passing of the Nineteenth Amendment, nearly fifty years later. It was women's fundamental need for independence and an identity of their own, separate from that of men, which thrust the women's movement forward and continues to propel it today. Many notable women, such as Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Billie Jean King, Betty Friedan, Helen Gurley Brown, Jane Fonda, and Sandra Day O'Connor, are included in this history of the women's movement in America. The biographical entries cite works for further reading, and the volume closes with a bibliography. The Shapers of the Great Debate series takes a biographical approach to history, following the premise that people make history in the circumstances in which they find themselves. Each volume in this series examines the lives and experiences of the individuals involved in a particular debate through both major and minor biographies.

Drinking the Rain
A memoir of spiritualism and self-discovery from the acclaimed, award-winning author At fifty, Alix Kates Shulman, author of the celebrated feminist novel, Memoirs of an Ex-Prom Queen, left a city life dense with political activism, family and literary community, and went to live alone on an island off the coast of Maine. On a windswept beach, in a cabin with no plumbing, power, or telephone, she found that she was learning to live all over again. In this luminous, spirited book, she charts her subsequent path as she learned not simply the joys of meditative solitude, but to integrate her new awareness into a busy, committed, even hectic mainland life. "A ten-year voyage of discovery . . . Shulman's honesty and sense of inquiry carry us with her all the way--could even, if we were willing, change our lives." —San Francisco Sunday Examiner & Chronicle

A donation of 15 million ($26.78 million) in support of Palestinian refugees has been described as a diversion from the real issue.
The announcement comes after the European Union decision to suspend direct aid to the Hamas-led Palestinian Authority.
Hilary Benn, the International Development Secretary of the UK Department for International Development (DFID), said that the funding would be made available immediately to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), which provides basic services for Palestinian refugees in the occupied Palestinian territories and elsewhere in the Middle East.
Mr Benn said: "We will do all we can to continue to support the ordinary Palestinian people. UNRWA has a proven track record in delivering basic human needs to Palestinian refugees. This additional funding will mean UNRWA can continue its vital role providing health, education, job creation and other essential programmes for Palestinian refugees in the West Bank, Gaza, Syria, Lebanon and Jordan.
He added that it was also necessary to apply political pressure to the Israeli Government to end its illegal military occupation.
