Can you cite this? I'm really interested.

Kathryn Marshall is married to Harper’s former manager of strategic planning.

The $5.5-billion Enbridge pipeline project is all about sending Alberta bitumen in huge oil tankers to China. Beijing’s own state enterprises are among the project’s major backers, and Beijing has been buying up Alberta’s oilpatch at such a dizzying pace lately it’s hard to keep up. In the spring of 2010, China’s state-owned Sinopec Corp. took a $4.65-billion piece of Syncrude. Then the China Investment Corporation, which is run by the Chinese Communist Party, took possession of a $1.25-billon share of Penn West Petroleum. Last summer, the Chinese National Offshore Oil Corporation gobbled up Opti Canada for $2.34 billion. And so on.

Then, last month, Sinopec spent $2.2-billion to take over Daylight Energy Ltd., and last week, Petro-China, with the final push of $1.9 billion, became the owner and manager of the MacKay River oilsands project. This is what Ottawa doesn’t want you noticing.

It turns out that two can play this sort of game. B.C.’s environmentalists are now making great sport of it, pointing out that Ottawa’s “ethical oil” branding exercise was begun by Conservative party gadfly Ezra Levant, who was succeeded at the Ethical Oil institute by none other than the otherwise intelligent Alykhan Velshi, who parked himself there between his term with Immigration Minister Jason Kenney and his new job in Stephen Harper’s office. Bonus points: Ethical Oil dial-a-quote Kathryn Marshall is married to Hamish Marshall, Harper’s former strategic planning manager.

While it’s all good fun to play Spot the Freemason, something very serious is going on here. Last summer, John Bruk, the Asia Pacific Foundation’s founding president, warned that Ottawa was ignoring the rapid emergence of Chinese government interests “in sheep’s clothing” taking over Canada’s natural resource industries. Bruk told B.C. Business magazine: “Are we jeopardizing prosperity for our children and grandchildren while putting at risk our economic independence? In my view, this is exactly what is happening.”

Yeah, ALL the (R) contenders are crackpot.
Obama, on the other hand, who was raised in a madrassa, who's father is a socialist, who's pastor is an anti-semite, who's buddies are marxist (Frank Marshall Davis) or former terrorists, who comes from the Chicago political machine...
yeah, he's perfectly normal!


Wow! That guy sounds really interesting!

Noomi Rapace (original G.W.D.T. trilogy), Guy Pearce (Memento, LA Confidential), Charlize Theron, Michael Fassbender, Idris Elba (the Wire), Logan Marshall-Green.

Really excited about Noomi, Guy and Charlize being in it.

Someone alert the air marshal! Wait, what do you mean he is dual wielding a pillow?

Neither of your red herrings make this a non-issue.



The Maddow comment is just arrogance fueled by ignorance.

You still going to think it's a non-issue when they are the only two justices who rule against the healthcare reform?

First rule of racing: NEVER STOP!

You always obey the flags that the marshals hold out, as they are under race control so will know about everything that is happening, not just in the 6 feet of tarmac you are on. Should you stop, you become a target for the next guy leaping through the wall of fire. Now you have two accidents...

There is no flag to stop competitors either. A red flag means that the *race* has been stopped, but that doesn't mean that you actually stop riding. You reduce your speed and await further instructions, being prepared to stop on the circuit *if* directed to do so. Marshals are posted within sighting distance of each other, so someone would have seen it and been able to deal with it.

Ultimately, this guy was through so quickly that even trying to stop would have covered a big distance (at 150mph+) so going back to help wouldn't have made much difference. As a rider you're probably not trained in first aid either, so it's best left to the professionals. On my first race out I couldn't even keep count of the number of laps I had done as I was concentrating so hard on riding as fast as possible!

Personally I'm surprised he slowed down as much as he did...

That's cool...but why doesn't he stop?! At least to tell some of the orange jackets that there's been a horrible crash!

Warning! More rude trollish massively copy and pasting stuff from websites below:

9/11 Truth vs Denial vs Pseudo-truths and Other Lies

David Watts on the Backfire Effect:

“The Truth: When your deepest convictions are challenged by contradictory evidence, your beliefs get stronger.”

9/11 is a perfect example. Despite the mountain of contradictory evidence of the official story, most people’s belief that what they are being told by the authorities and media becomes even stronger. If people were able to assimilate the contradictory evidence, they would understand that 9/11 was a false flag operation.

“The great masses of the people… will more easily fall victims to a big lie than to a small one.” — Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf

“The individual is handicapped by coming face to face with a conspiracy so monstrous he cannot believe it exists.” — J. Edgar Hoover, former FBI director

“Only the small secrets need to be protected. The big ones are kept secret by public incredulity.” — Marshall McLuhan, Canadian educator, philosopher, and scholar–a professor of English literature, a literary critic, a rhetorician, and a communication theorist.
