Turin, Italy - Dozens of birds were killed Wednesday at a private zoo in Italy in an arson attack claimed by radical animal rights activists, news reports said.
Several bottles filled with petrol were used to start the fire which killed some 40 hawks, buzzards and owls in an aviary at the Zoom Zoo near the northern city of Turin.
"This is for the imprisoned animals - Animal Liberation Front" was found spray-painted in red near the scene of the early morning attack.
Firefighters prevented flames from spreading to a warden's shed and other buildings, one of them housing several tigers, the reports said.
The recently built zoo was scheduled to open to the public in April, its owner said.

Animal Liberation front
I'm all for their goals and stated aims, and i'm not averse to the idea of criminally taking on those who hurt animals. HOWEVER ... i don't understand this story. What on god's good earth were they thinking?
Those animals suffered a worse fate at the hands of the activists than being in a zoo would have been? I hate zoos on principle, but honestly, they do look after the animals better than most places.
The world's gone mad.

abraxas
We stood before the painting
and froze from the exertion
We berated it
Made love to it
Worshiped it
Called it mother
Called it whore and slut
Called it

Rest in Peace Bernadine
Pretoria - A Grade 11 pupil died on her way to Garsfontein High School in Pretoria on Monday morning after a taxi first incessantly hooted at her before hitting her scooter from behind and driving over her.
Bernadine Kruger, 16, died on impact.
Hugo Vermaak, who was driving along Atterbury Road, saw the accident happen between the Jacqueline and General Louis Botha Drive intersections.:
"I was driving in a westerly direction. The traffic was heavy and we were moving very slowly.
"I saw the girl on her little scooter going in an easterly direction. She was in the left-hand lane.
"Then I saw the taxi speeding up behind her and hooting at her. Just as she wanted to change lanes, he hit her full-on.
"I saw her mouth open when he hit her. She fell and then he drove over her. It wasn't a pretty sight," Vermaak said.
After the accident the traffic came to a complete standstill. Many people jumped from their cars and ran to Bernadine to see if they could help her.
The taxi driver had not been arrested yet because the police first have to complete their investigation into the accident, she added
____________________________________________________________________
Rest in peace Bernadine.
I can't quite summon words about this. It's just so fucking TYPICAL of this area, and the drivers, ESPECIALLY taxi drivers. I'm sadly not surprised, this was inevitable, but for crying out loud why does it have to be?
The last line is the one which takes all the sorrow and pain, and transforms it into a rising hate which threatens to spill overs like a volcano in full eruption.
They have arrested me, in front of my family, leaving a non licensed mom with children on the side of the road, for technicalities, yet this DOG, cold bloodedly drives over a young girl, and they cannot arrest him???
For all that is good, holy and worth fighting for, enough!!! How dare these metro PIGS behave so callously towards the family of the dead girl? How dare they gloss over it as some "accident".
I speak only for myself, yet i'm one of many ... this MUST be dealt with in a very harsh manner. Otherwise there will be further bloodshed. This is the kind of thing that will make open war on our roads possible. Since the police *spit* have no apparent regard for this as anything more than manslaughter, and NOT the murder it is, what is left but vigilanteism? What other form of justice is available for the victim's family and friends?
This WILL NOT go away. We will NOT allow this to become JUST ANOTHER FUCKING WORTHLESS DEATH. This is honour, this is dignity, this is a fight to be recognised as HUMAN. Nothing more, nothing less.

Americans, prepare to die.
Infowars
If you click on the above link, you'll see a video, hand held footage of an open field somewhere in Atlanta, Georgia. In this field sit half a million really nice non-biodegradable, water and chemical resistant coffins, or if you wish to be politically correct, Hercules Airseal Vaults.
Then, we have the OTHER elder statesman of the states, Zbigniew Brzezinski Zbigniew Brzezinski warning of rioting across the US.
So, you have the thought leaders predicting massive social upheaval, and putting their money where their mouth is, at LEAST 500 000 dead people, potentially biologically unsafe (?) ... in the middle of the united states. We can assume that only 1 cache has been found by the pesky slaves, there have to be more.
There is no nice possibility in either of these stories. They expect hungry americans to riot, and they've already anticipated the results.

Hesse quote
"You know quite well, deep within you,
that there is only a single magic, a single power,
a single salvation...and that is called loving.
Well then, love your suffering.
Do not resist it, do not flee from it.
It is only your aversion to it that hurts, nothing else."
- Hermann Hesse

Most Wars Occur in Earth’s Richest Biological Regions
WELL fuck me sideways, who'da thunk THAT???
No kidding, it adds just another dimension to the gross inhuman depravity of the world ordereds. I have wondered about this before, sort of abstractedly, but yes, most of the us's wars in the last century were in particularly primitive regions, against villagers ... literally. Hunter gatherer types who survived by a very slim margin on the land they lived on. It continues through africa, where small, unheard of villages are deemed valuable for some silly reason, and the population and surrounds decamated.
From the organisation that released this press study, i notice that 3 world biological hotspots are in South Africa. Anyone else have the premonition shudder?

10 rules for humanity
1. You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it’s yours to keep for the entire period.
2. You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called, “life.”
3. There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial, error, and experimentation. The “failed” experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiments that ultimately “work.”
4. Lessons are repeated until they are learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can go on to the next lesson.
5.Learning lessons does not end. There’s no part of life that doesn’t contain its lessons. If you’re alive, that means there are still lessons to be learned.
6. “There” is no better a place than “here.” When your “there” has become a “here”, you will simply obtain another “there” that will again look better than “here.”
7. Other people are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects to you something you love or hate about yourself.
8. What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.
9. Your answers lie within you. The answers to life’s questions lie within you. All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.
10. You will forget all this.

UN on food waste
The UNEP report lists some sobering stats about food:
Food losses and waste in the United States are estimated to be as high as 50 percent. Up to a quarter of all fresh fruits and vegetables in the US is lost between the field and the table.
In Australia food waste makes up about half of landfill.
Almost a third of all food purchased in the United Kingdom every year is not eaten.
In Africa, the total amount of fish lost through discards, post-harvest loss and spoilage may be around 30 percent of landings.
In developing countries, food losses in the field between planting and harvesting could be as high as 40 percent of the potential harvest because of pests and pathogens.
A third of the world’s cereals are being used as animal feed and this will rise to 50 per cent by 2050.
An estimated 30 million tonnes of fish are discarded at sea annually.
_______________________________________________________________________
Don't give that line about global warming shrinking crops. We're not even using half of what we already got, not to mention the fact that over half the world is undernourished.
There is no excuse for anyone. Only thing left is anger.

SA 8th in GM foods race
Growth in SA GM food crops
19/02/2009 08:29 - (SA)
Pretoria - Genetically modified (GM) maize crops grew by 10 000 hectares while South Africa remained the eighth biggest producer of GM foods in the world, AgriSA announced on Wednesday.
"South Africa maintained the number eight position in the world ranking of biotech crop countries, planting more than 1,8 million hectares of biotech crops," said AgriSA CEO Kobus Laubscher.
South Africa also ranked eighth in 2007.
Addressing media in Pretoria, Laubscher said the 2008 GM maize plantings increased by 10 000 hectares, despite an almost eight percent decrease in the commercial maize area planted.
Globally, 125 million hectares of biotech crops were planted, according to the findings of the International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-Biotech Applications for 2008. This was an increase of 9.4% from 2007.
In South Africa, GM crops - namely maize, soybeans and cotton - increased.
Biotech plantings
Both yellow and white maize topped the list at 1 617 million hectares or 62% of the total maize area compared to 57% in 2007.
Of the 1 617 million hectares of maize, 56% or 891 000 hectares constituted biotech plantings.
Laubscher said farmers had to produce more crops for a growing population on smaller land (because of climate change among other things), but there seemed to be a resistance to GM foods. This perception, he said, needed to be changed.
"Its difficult to say [where the perception comes from], there [are] no medical or scientific findings to support this," he said.
Laubscher added that biotech crops, grown in 25 countries including the US and South Africa, had led to a decrease in pesticide use.
"This is a positive spin off," he said.

Hieronymus Bosch
Hieronymus Bosch
A brilliant artist, who had an insight to ... something, i'm almost scared to ask what. His art was so different to anything else, frightening in it's almost comic book fomat, yet real, and detailed beyond anything of it's time.
You can see all the gory bits at wikipedia Hieronymus_Bosch
I wanted an image he created for the previous post, and had great fun looking through his works. This however flumoxed me.

A Day of Reckoning for the USA
I cannot laud this summation enough, it strikes directly at the heart of the beast. The only change i dare make to this essay is to the title. Mr Lowry, the USA is not alone, although, as it has for several decades now, it is certainly leading.
Aquila ka Hekate: This Jung quote is exactly what you pointed at yesterday, with the "removal" of traumatic experince.
A Day of Reckoning for the WORLD
By Norm Lowry
“The foundation of all Mental Illness is the unwillingness to experience legitimate suffering.” Carl Jung
February 18, 2009 "February 18, 2009 "Information Clearing House" -- Lately, I have been inordinately baffled. The combined government & media sources of the world tell the tale of whole countries sitting on the edge of fiscal insolvency; civil unrest now becoming commonplace; starvation & suicide deaths soaring; staggering rises in unemployment; food shortages; rising threats & escalating wars. In my country (USA), the stories are the same…maybe 46 of 50 States, 80% of US cities & 2 of 3 US banks are fiscally insolvent; likely 1 of 5 workers unemployed or working part-time (due to lack of suitable employment); home foreclosures up 80% in 2008 (worse yet expected in 2009); the rise in homelessness expected to soon use up available resources; up to 1 in 6 go to bed hungry; likely 40% of States discussing possible secession options & Federal Government committing to unconstitutional use of US troops to quell expected civil disobedience or to enforce US sovereignty over the States. In spite of all of this, the majority of my fellow citizens seem to believe that we will somehow just be okay; that we are somehow more honorable & moral than everyone else.
Reality would seem to indicate that this is simply not true; that genuine hope lies only in the compassionate truth that our old, corrupt system of leadership & lies must die in order for honest resolution to occur. A monstrous lie, which is our silence to injustice, violence & racism, now covers my country like a thick fog. Though the preponderance of evidence would show us to be ‘freemen who have chosen slavery’ (Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn), our ‘absurd deafness’ (Henri Nouwen) thinks it prudent to overestimate our status & to overlook the fact that we have allowed our corrupt leaders to lead us into ‘purposeful, pre-planned recessions & wars, theft of the world’s wealth, selling of drugs & laundering of drug resources, repressing dissent (to avoid exposure), convincing the populace that we are moral & honorable, & committing genocide to maintain an illusion of control’ (Mike Ruppert, Jenna Orkin, Paul Craig Roberts, David M. Walker, Michel Chossudovsky, Ron Paul, Cynthia McKinney, John Pilger, Jonathan Cook, Stephen Lendman). Oh, that this were not true!
The Day of Reckoning for the USA is nigh at hand. Soon…our lights will go out, our economy will come to a screeching halt (when our oil supply is no longer able to be financed, due to the world losing confidence in us or no longer being willing to bow to our arrogance), chaos will become the law of our land & greater, mass death will be perpetrated on our citizenry. Soon…we will reap the due consequences of what we have allowed to be sown on our greater world.
The good news is that much of our coming calamity could likely be avoided. But it would necessitate complete honesty & integrity; admitting the truth (as it is), turning away from our blindness & evil, & becoming willing to make genuinely honest amends. Either way, the price tag seems to be the same. We can die or live, dependent on the Mercy of those we have offended…or…we can simply suffer the consequences of a terrible Day of Reckoning, with its guarantee of more destruction & death than any of us would like to see.

R.I.P. The Buccaneer
It was a year ago today theat the Buccaneer, Brian Cannoo died in hospital after being taken out by a bus while attending a track day.
The implications have echoed since, through his connections and projects, the vast numbers of people who knew him, respected him, and valued his friendship and advice.
Think Bike is not and will never be the same without him. However, it's growing by the day, his ideas and initiatives will carry on long after the rest of us follow him. As great a man as he was, he created something greater then himself. It wasn't even a new idea, Think Bike had been started back in the 80's, but sadly died through financial mismanagement. He took what was already there, cast aside by others, remade it, shaped and moulded it and gave it to others.
My own contributions to Think Bike are paltry compared to many others, but we knew the Bucc, and that was enough. A man like that is followed, not because he wants it, but because he leads naturally. He blazed his way through life, and led by example.
To his wife, and children, who miss him so much, and his many friends, and even his "best" friend Blackie, who spent many journeys riding together, peace, and love too.

The fall of capitalism
If you wish to understand what is currently happening in the world financial system, i urge you to read this article. http://informationclearinghouse.info/article22000.htm
A quoted exerpt:
The best description of their wealth is from a banker himself, Sir Josiah Stamp, at the time in 1927 the 2nd richest man in England and former head of The Bank of England:
"Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take it away from them, and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create money."
Go read it.
Information Clearing House has also made a plea for financial support. The collate various articles from around the web, mosty alternative news, what cnn won't tell you. It's a daily update of news and opinion, and in my opinion, excellently sourced.

United states of aggression
February 1901 In the aftermath of the Spanish-American War, the U.S. fought a brutal war of conquest in the Pacific. By 1900, more than 75,000 American troops—three-quarters of the entire U.S. Army—were sent to the Philippines. In the face of this overwhelming show of force, the Filipinos turned to guerrilla warfare. The February 5, 1901 edition of the New York World shed some light on the U.S. response to guerilla tactics: "Our soldiers here and there resort to terrible measures with the natives. Captains and lieutenants are sometimes judges, sheriffs and executioners. ’I don’t want any more prisoners sent into Manila’ was the verbal order from the Governor-General three months ago. It is now the custom to avenge the death of an American soldier by burning to the ground all the houses, and killing right and left the natives who are only suspects."

3rd Millenium AD
Was thinking the other day, about how we are living in the future. The THIRD MILLENIUM!!! We have solved hunger and poverty, communicating with aliens, and have solved pollution.
No. Not even close.
It's mayhem, total havoc, science is being replaced by politics, same for sport. Cigarettes are illegal (almost) while SA Breweries becomes a world leader in supplying poison. The US's main export is weapons, any and all death machines.
I don't get it. Like south africa, so much potential, so totally pissed away ....
The human race is doomed ... there is no other logical end ...

India rejects GM foods
I need to clarify first. Indian GOVT wants it, the people clearly don't. Monsanto (you know THEM right?) have released a GM brinjal, and obviously lied through their teeth about it.
Expert independent scientist verdict contradicts Indian regulatory authorities on biosafety of GM aubergine
"According to Seralini, “This makes for a very coherent picture of Bt brinjal that is potentially unsafe for human consumption. The GM brinjal cannot be considered as safe as its non GM counterpart.” In addition, he says that the longest toxicity test were only for 90 days, which does not assess long-term effects such as the development of cancers or tumours. Furthermore, he considers it potentially unsafe to eat animals with the health problems that had been fed Bt brinjal."
"Debjeet Sarangi, speaking for GM Free India said he was surprised that the regulatory bodies did not consider it appropriate to consult the Health Minister, as well as doctors' groups and vetinary associations before pushing this highly toxic food down the gullets of an uninformed public. “This is not science,” he said. If regulators such as the Genetic Engineering Approval Committee (GEAC) had been doing long term research to assess the claims of GM crop companies and taken up the analysis of the company's data itself then the two year large scale trials of Bt brinjal approved in 2007 would not have been allowed to go ahead. In fact, the results only came to light when a Supreme Court battle forced GEAC to put the Monsanto-Mahyco test dossier on Bt brinjal into the public domain."
Fuck off monsanto, nobody wants your shit.

Banks reject "toxic" BEE
Fin24
"On Tuesday the SA banking industry drew a line in the sand for black economic empowerment (BEE) in the mining industry because BEE has been financed with debt that the banks could no longer support.
The government will have to buy out these mining companies or the mines will need to sell their production forward to repay their BEE loans"
... he didn't want to use the term "toxic assets", but others "are welcome to do so".
These deals have involved enormous amounts. It was unwise to do these deals at fair value when the resource supercycle was at its height, he continued ...
Moreover, these transactions frequently involve a division between shareholding with voting rights and economic shareholding. "In reality the banks that advanced the loans now control these assets,"
________________________________________________________________________
Oh my. He who pays the piper calls the tune. The bankers hold the rights, NOT the BEE partners. Capitalism - gotta love it. THe government WILL respond, they have to, but most likely with the usual amount of idiocy, bluff, denial and threats.
This is news to watch out for though.

Dragons and men
"He who fights too long against dragons becomes a dragon himself; and if you gaze too long into the abyss, the abyss will gaze into you."
Ezeebike
Wai Won Ching, inventor and entrepreneur of eZee bikes and Rupert Nanni (cyclist, trail guide and keen environmentalist) have planned a grueling route on their own.
With their eZee Torq trekking bike, they will travel across 3,000 kms of Africa, starting from Katima Mulilo by the eastern Caprivi Strip, climbing hills, rough roads and the Namibian desert, roll alongside the Orange river and head down to their destination in Cape Town. Averaging some 200 kms per day, they will boldly go where no 'green' vehicle has gone.

Expatriates can vote!!!
South Africans abroad can vote
09/02/2009 12:05 - (SA)
Pretoria - South Africans abroad have been granted the right to vote in the country's upcoming elections.
The Pretoria High Court ruled in an urgent application that a portion of the Electoral Act be declared unconstitutional, the SABC reported. This relates to the portion which prevented South African citizens who are living and working abroad from voting.
Section 33.1-E of the Electoral Act was found invalid in terms of limiting the casting of special votes to people who are temporarily out of the country.
According to the SABC, the Freedom Front Plus brought the application on behalf of a South African teacher, Willem Richter, who works in the UK.

Russia's Palestine
Stalin's forgotten Zion
I had heard of this once before, like a legend forgotten by time. Astounding series of postcard-like images and captions.
From the Zionist aspect, through to the communist propaganda "style" and of course MANY implications, something to think about ....

76-year-old nabbed on dagga charge
February 06 2009 at 10:51AM
A 76-year-old woman is expected to appear before the Keiskammahoek Magistrate's Court on Friday for alleged possession of 30 rolled dagga joints, Eastern Cape police said.
Captain Ernest Sigobe said the woman was arrested on Thursday around 3pm at her house in Lower Zingcuka, Alice, after police received a tip-off that she allegedly sold dagga.
"When we arrived at her house she tried to hide the dagga, but we were able to find it stuffed inside her bag," said Sigobe. - Sapa
_____________________________________________________________________
Enter the brave policeman, stamping out crime and disobedience in the community.
Let me be clear, there are many old ladies and men who sell dagga in this manner. For most, it adds to the collection of sweets, cigarettes, and one or two other small things they would sell, and is the only way they can get that little extra money to survive.
No doubt she was selling them, 30 joints for private stock is not believeable. Those 30 joints would not however add to crime, violence, or any other "scourge" of society. This is the opiate of the masses, truly. And far from harmful, it's good for you.
When is our society going to rebel against this kind of senselessness? And who the FUCK would want to hurt this woman? This isn't crack, tik or one of those, this is dagga ... ONLY dagga.

Michael Phelps - Olympic stoner
I caught thisthis response to the general public, regrettably not Phelp's own words, but what he should instead be saying:
"It’s none of your goddamned business. I work my ass off 10 months per year. It’s that hard work that gave you all those gooey feelings of patriotism last summer. If during my brief window of down time I want to relax, enjoy myself, and partake of a substance that’s a hell of a lot less bad for me than alcohol, tobacco, or, frankly, most of the prescription drugs most of you are taking, well, you can spare me the lecture."
...
"Here’s a crazy thought: If I can smoke a little dope and go on to win 14 Olympic gold medals, maybe pot smokers aren’t doomed to lives of couch surfing and video games, as our moronic government would have us believe. In fact, the list of successful pot smokers includes not just world class athletes like me, Howard, Williams, and others, it includes Nobel Prize winners, Pulitzer Prize winners, the last three U.S. presidents, several Supreme Court justices, and luminaries and success stories from all sectors of business and the arts, sciences, and humanities…"
...
Then you have the money, sponsorships. Kudos to Swatch and Speedo, both extending support for him, and very clearly stating that they don't give a fuck. From the Huffington Post:Huffington Post:
"Two of Michael Phelps' leading sponsors expressed support for the Olympic great Monday, a day after he apologized for being photographed in a British newspaper inhaling from a marijuana pipe. Luxury Swiss watchmaker Omega termed Phelps' actions a private matter and "nonissue." Swim wear manufacturer Speedo called the 23-year-old American a "valued member of the Speedo team."
Phelps acknowledged "regrettable" behavior and "bad judgment" after the photo appeared Sunday in the tabloid News of the World."
...
"Michael Phelps is a great Olympic champion," the International Olympic Committee said in a statement to the AP. "He apologized for his inappropriate behavior. We have no reason to doubt his sincerity and his commitment to continue to act as a role model."
...
So basically, there are expectations that have nothing to do with anything at all, and yet take precedance. People are so shit scared of their children admiring a pot smoker, that they would see this true superman have his face smeared in the shit.
Seriously, fuck this. Every second tom dick or harry is happy to tell me how BAD weed is for you. No evidence, no ACTUAL REASON behind it, pure preconception. PreMISconception i should add.
So long as weed is THIS misunderstood, there is no hope for reason, rationality, or anything remotely like common sense. This is the triumf of propaganda over reason.

Poep has a bainfart ...
Ok, get the full story here ... Health 24
Here are some quotes:
"Pope Benedict XVI said Sunday that euthanasia is a "false solution" to suffering, adding his voice to a bitter debate in Italy over the fate of a comatose woman whose father wants to remove her feeding tube."
...
In 2007, the Vatican condemned American Terri Schiavo's death as "arbitrarily hastened" and called the removal of her feeding tube a violation of the principles of Christianity and civilisation.
And a direct quote from here ... www.fides.org/
“He knows in fact that to liberate humanity from the dominion of sin he must be sacrificed on the cross as the true paschal lamb. The devil, for his part, tries to divert his attention and direct it instead toward a human logic of a powerful and successful messiah. The cross of Christ will be the demon’s ruin, and this is why Jesus does not cease to teach his disciples that in order to enter into his glory he must suffer much, be rejected, condemned and crucified. Suffering is an integral part of his mission.”
________________________________________________________________
The ancient Greeks, the originators of our civilisation, disagreed with the vatican on principles of civilisation, in that euthanasia, and suicide, were commonly accepted and admired. A good life demanded a good death, or so they thought.
This may be against the principles of christianity, and can be accepted as "christian principles" but certainly claiming any civil grounds is blatant muddying of the waters ... so to speak.
This is a purely moral choice and decision, so religion is most certainly on the periphery, but here again we get the blurring of religion and state. Personally i think any rational being would support euthanasia UNDER CETAIN CONDITIONS ... since there is enough suffering in the world, certainly accepting death is not wrong? It is in fact the highest than man can strive for, to die peacefully in bed, with no regrets or outstanding business.
The last quote above, makes me sick though ... about how "JESUS" endorses suffering and pain ... I'm no theologan, but i seem to recall it was suffering "FOR JESUS" ... ie when they come break your house down because you're a christian ... (?)
Jesus at no point that i am aware, endorsed suffering and certainly none unnecesary, the only thought that comes to mind is the sabbath donkey. He ruled that its better to break a law and end the suffering of a donkey fallen into a rut, than to obey the laws stating that you shouldn't work.
Now surely that suggests, nay demands moral over legal authority?
And lets just cut this cake finer ... this is NOT euthansia, even. This is stopping an unnatural process. This is not using drugs to end a life, merely stopping the unnatural continuation of medical "care". This is force feeding a corpse.
All that is sure, is that we are not deemed capable of deciding our future for ourselves, THAT is abundantly clear.

Toyota forest
Every now and again, you notice something good, not often mind you ...
Toyota has started a forestry program, identifying defoested areas and repopulating them with trees, see the pics, and the blurb ... it is a great thing to have done. China i'm sure appreciates the true value ...
"*Located approximately 180km north of Beijing, the Fengning Man Autonomous County in Hebei Province is one of the areas that spawn the dust storms that have been assailing Beijing in recent years. The area also serves as the source of Beijing and Tianjin's water supply."

Evil never rests
BAGHDAD - IRAQI police have taken apart a sculpture honouring the Iraqi journalist who hurled his shoes at former President George W. Bush.
The sculpture's base at an orphanage in Saddam Hussein's hometown of Tikrit was demolished by policemen.
The sofa-sized copper-colored shoe itself had become a plaything for local children by Sunday.
The sculpture was unveiled last week but Iraqi police demanded it be removed because they said the state-run orphanage site could not be used for works with a political bias.
Iraqi journalist Muntadhar al-Zeidi threw his shoes during a Dec 14 news conference in Baghdad. -- AP

Mother fuckers .... may the spirit of the shoe destroy them all. DO they know NOTHING other than distruction?
