Koch Brothers Make Climate Activists New Target - The Daily Beast

Politics American Conservative style that drives the worse of all worlds. They don't really want competition because they figure on winning at all costs. Money no object to these people! One in which the poor go to the wall! How much money is targeted at Canadian political processes favouring Alberta's development? And, you thought Russia's political process was corrupt?

If Monsanto, Pfizer, AT&T, Bell, Rupert Murdoch and Conrad Black are not bad enough?

Subject: Let's landlock the tar sands

Avaaz.org - The World in Action Dear friends,



PM Harper just approved a mega-pipeline that would traffic Alberta's dirty tar-oil to the Pacific coast, but B.C.'s premier can still stop it. A clear majority of B.C. residents oppose the pipe or want it delayed -- let's raise a national outcry demanding Clark stand strong!

SIGN THE PETITION
Stephen Harper just approved a mega tar-oil pipeline that would slice through the heart of the Great Bear Rainforest and put its fragile ecosystem at risk. But one woman stands in the way and our massive outcry could help her put the pipeline on ice for good.

B.C.'s Premier Christy Clark has said she won't green-light the project, unless it meets several of her economic and environmental conditions. A clear majority of B.C. residents want to stop or delay the pipeline, but with its recent federal approval the pressure on Clark is mounting and now-more-than-ever we need her to stand strong against this climate killer.
  

Clark has the power to put the brakes on this reckless project, and as Premier she needs to listen to our call. Click now to tell Clark that we're counting on her to be our climate champion by rejecting the pipeline. When we reach 100,000 signatures, it'll be delivered straight to the Premier in Vancouver. Sign the petition:

https://secure.avaaz.org/en/landlock_the_tar_sands_b/?bBEuVbb&v=41551

Enbridge insists that their pipeline -- criss-crossing an astounding 1,177km from Alberta's dirty tar sands to the B.C. coast -- will be safe. But their abysmal track record with over 800 oil spills in the last decade tells another story. In 2010, it took them 17 hours to take action on a disastrous oil spill in Michigan, even though they knew the pipeline was corroded years before it happened!
 

Amidst enormous public outcry, Clark has listed a series of demands -- including strict oil-spill response systems, protection of aboriginal rights, and more economic benefits to B.C. -- before she gives the project the go ahead. She realizes that the risks of the pipeline could outweigh the rewards and with a massive outcry we can make sure she not only holds her ground, but pushes further and protects the planet from this pipeline altogether.

Harper's recent approval of the pipeline is amping up the pressure on Clark to act but we can still come together and demand that she keeps Alberta's deadly tar-oil at bay. Sign here and forward to all your friends and family:

https://secure.avaaz.org/en/landlock_the_tar_sands_b/?bBEuVbb&v=41551

The journey ahead won't be easy -- Harper stopped listening to Canadians about the environment a long time ago. But our movement has never been stronger and Clark can still stop this climate killer. Let's act now to protect our country and the world from deadly tar-oil.

With hope,

Emma, Ari, Jeremy, Danny, Ricken, and the whole Avaaz team

In my in email this morning. Canadian Conservatives are the real losers.... Smear Campaigns and Disrespect for the parliamentary Process. Are the Conservatives Canada's New Fascist Party? They seem to be be?

Sad state of Canadian politics when Canadian / Yankee Doodle style big business takes over Canadian politics and uses Russian Solviet era military disinformation tactics. Why the WAR like effort? Its because you have done it repeatedly before. We know you by your methods if not by your faces. 

Reject these people soundly.

Reform the Canadian political process.... Real democracy and respect for diversity does not come by smear campaigns.

Mr. Harper:

 

You ought to be ashamed of yourself.  Is this how you practise family values?  Just how much lower can you go?  This kind of election campaign advertising can be done only with your approval and  consent.  This is practising the politics of desperation.  But you, and you alone, can take the Conservative Party out of the gutter. You alone can put an end to Conservative election smearing...if you want to.  This will be part of your legacy.

 

Sincerely,

 

Don S

The reality may be very different, however, from what the industry wants us to hear. One senses a scandal in the offing in which science does not progress because of whitewash.

Superficially, it is possible to deny the existence of a threat to those that don't take the time to verify for themselves.

In the USA its big business, much of which is anti-American multinationals out of offshore pretending to be American patriots, all the time laughing their way to the bank.

Russian authorities are removing words from Russian vocabulary so that Russians don't think so well. Leaders seem to be using mindspeak and North Korean approach to normal conversations Russians have at breakfast table. Russia's new totalitarianism going to far.

We can laugh, but what if you can't even think clearly because your government bans words to protect itself from real democracy. Why they might even have started thinking like a Yankee Doodle? Not exactly Pussy Riot! 

Russia is treading a dangerous path towards obscurity and ignominy? Its like being in an overwhelming church or prison that won't progress with the times because the clergy and key holders are all insanely conservative. 

Sad?

It is eclectic, which means that it might consider just about anything from the simple to the extremely difficult. A scratch can be something that is troubling me or a short line on paper. From a scratch comes a verbal sketch or image sketch of the issue or subject. Other sites have other stuff that should really be of interest to the broad reader.
