Munkar i Tailand.Frågan om religionens ursprung och varför vissa av oss blir religiösa är gåtfull. Svaren är komplexa och går att söka inom evolution, kognition och de sociala forskningsfälten. Religion tycks alltid ha funnits; i varje civilisation, i varje kultur, i alla etniska grupper, i varje samhälle. Och i varje tid. Det verkar lätt att slå fast att religion är en del av att vara människa. Men, så enkelt är det inte. Alla människor är inte religiösa, och ingen har så här långt hittat några gener eller någon funktion i hjärnan som betingar oss att bli religiösa.
Dr. Judith Curry, climate scientist and former chair of the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at Georgia Tech, joins us once again today to discuss her comprehensive new report, "Climate Models for the layman." We discuss the history and purpose of climate modeling, their uncertainties, equilibrium climate sensitivity, and what we can or cannot learn from their study.

The UN announced its Syrian War Crimes report at a bizarre press conference on March 1st. The report received light coverage on that day and then immediately died, sparing all those in the world who had missed it, because it was an embarrassment to that organization.

A hold-up translating a key document is delaying a decision by Swedish prosecutors over whether to continue their investigation of WikiLeaks co-founder Julian Assange on allegations of sexual assault.
The Swedish prosecutors said they would make a decision when they receive a full translation of the interview conducted with Assange at the Ecuadorian Embassy in November.
The prosecutors received the report from Ecuadorian authorities on January 5, and said that it is “almost completed.”
A U.S. president willing to put his reputation on the line in the interests of peace and prosperity prepares to reach out to Russia. The Kremlin shows some cautious interest. But before the president can propose anything substantial, his opponents do everything possible to derail his efforts.

On 10 January 2017 Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau fired his minister of external affairs, Stéphane Dion, and replaced him with Chrystia Freeland, who was then minister of international trade. This cabinet shuffle might not have gotten much public notice except that Dion is a distinguished parliamentarian, former leader of the party and leader of the opposition, and a former key minister in the Liberal government of Jean Chrétien. Freeland, on the other hand, is a well-known Ukrainian ultra-nationalist and self-declared Russophobe and hater of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“We must look back twenty-five years to realize how far Israel has fallen in world support,” wrote famed Jewish scholar, Harvard sociologist, Nathan Glazer in 1976.

Senator McCain lost his mind over Rand Paul’s blockade of the Montenegro – NATO vote in Congress.
John McCain has always been a faithful servant for the military industrial complex, but his hate for Russia is starting to infect and consume McCain to a dangerous degree. This latest “Russian hysteria” outburst against Paul shows how mentally unstable McCain has become.
President of the Iraqi Kurdistan Region, Masoud Barzani, has recently stated that even without the approval of Baghdad, the autonomy shall eventually have to hold a referendum on independence. According to him, the people of Iraqi Kurdistan have a “natural right” to hold a referendum on independence. In this regard, it should be pointed out that, despite the persuasions of the West, Iraqi Kurdistan has in recent years repeatedly stated its intention to hold a plebiscite on independence.

Almost a full decade since first applying for a presidential permit, TransCanada looks set to finally receive go-ahead in the U.S. for its massive $8-billion Keystone XL pipeline.

New U.S. President Donald Trump was elected with the explicit promise to[Read More...]
What is “value” and how shall we protect it? It’s a simple question for which we don’t have a satisfactory answer. For conventional economists and politicians, the answer is simple: value is essentially the same as price. Value results when private property and “free markets” condense countless individual preferences and purchases into a single, neutral representation of value: price. That[Read More...]

The Claims Commission was essentially a mopping-up operation, established to clarify ambiguities about land ownership that still remained after a century of white assault. It simply asserted that the Indians had lost land that they often had not, and gave them money as a panacea. Usually these claims awards were dutifully hailed in the American press as if the U.S. was generously giving down-and-out Indians a gift, when actually the opposite was the case.

In the last few hours a US Federal Judge in Hawaii, Judge Derrick Watson, has imposed a temporary restraining Order on President Trump’s second ‘travel ban’ Executive Order.
I do not yet have the transcript of Judge Watson’s decision. However I understand that Judge Watson sought to use comments made by various persons associated with the administration – including possibly the President himself – to interpret the Order as discriminating against Muslims.

Though results are still coming in, it is clear that Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte’s centre right VVD party has achieved a comfortable lead in the Dutch parliamentary elections.
By contrast Geert Wilders’s Freedom Party, though it has significantly increased its share of the vote and has almost doubled its representation in the parliament, has done less well than opinion polls predicted, and may even have come third.
Le 2 mars dernier se tenait à Montreuil une rencontre publique sur le thème de la Constituante, entre des membres de l’association « Les Citoyens Constituants », et des citoyens du mouvement « La France Insoumise » en faveur de la candidature de Jean-Luc Mélenchon. Je vous présente mes excuses pour avoir manqué les premières minutes de cet échange très intéressant.
Trump won West Virginia 68.7% to 26.5%. He did much better than any other Republican ever-- yes, even better than Reagan (55.1%) or Romney (62.3%). He won every single county in the state, even the ones that normally lean blue. And he did even better in McDowell County than he did statewide:
Julian Assange has sent out Tweets stating that Hilary Clinton and others are looking to impeach Trump with the stated preference of a Mike Pence Presidency. Assange’s Tweets were as follows:
Clinton stated privately this month that she is quietly pushing for a Pence takeover. She stated that Pence is predictable hence defeatable.

Donald Trump’s meeting with Saudi Arabia’s Prince Mohammed bin Salman is a poignant example of how a statement is often only as important as the statement’s source.
If someone from the Arab world had called Donald Trump “…a true friend of Muslims who will serve the Muslim World in an unimaginable manner”, one could take this statement at face value and say that America is mending bridges that it had burnt with important Muslim majority countries.
For years, the main parties of the UK have had virtually no relations with the Front National of France, the party founded by Jean-Marie Le Pen and currently led by French Presidential candidate Marine Le Pen.
Even though many, including myself, are predicting that Le Pen will be the next French President, the UK elite still have virtually no communications with her or her party.
Petite vidéo souvenir en raison des 6 ans du début de la guerre en Syrie. Elle date de mars 2013 :
TweetThe Tawergha tribe in Libya has had more than enough sorrow. They are a tribe made up of black Libyans, they were targeted by the Clinton/Obama/NATO mercenaries because they were black. There has been a continuing effort to do a complete genocide of black Libyans since the phony NATO war in 2011. To date there are over 128 mass graves filled with black bodies in Libya.
The Tawergha tribe was an extremely productive tribe, known to be great farmers, producing the majority of the dairy for Libya.
(ANTIMEDIA) Anarchists have gotten a bad rap. From the self-described anarchists who riot in the streets to the doomsday Hollywood franchise The Purge, many have been led to believe anarchy is synonymous with chaos, terror, and violence. President Trump even chimed in recently, referring — without evidence — to “professional anarchists” who were paid to protest his reign.
