US won't investigate Black Panthers for voter intimidation
The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights is expected to approve Friday the sending of a second letter to the Justice Department, asking it to justify its decision in May to drop charges against members of the New Black Panther Party accused of intimidating voters at a Philadelphia polling place in the November election.
Martin Dannenfelser, staff director, said a majority of the commissioners were not satisfied with a response by the department to a June 16 letter, in which the commission said the decision to drop the case had caused it "great confusion" since the NBPP members were "caught on video blocking access to the polls, and physically threatening and verbally harassing voters."
In an undated letter received by the commission June 20, the Justice Department said the complaint was dismissed because "the facts and the law did not support" the accusations, and came after a "careful and thorough review by Acting Assistant Attorney General Loretta King."

All civilizations die the same way
As archaeologist Timothy Pauketat's cautious but mesmerizing new book, "Cahokia: Ancient America's Great City on the Mississippi," makes clear, Cahokia -- the greatest Native American city north of Mexico -- definitely belongs to human history. At its peak in the 12th century, this settlement along the Mississippi River bottomland of western Illinois, a few miles east of modern-day St. Louis, was probably larger than London, and held economic, cultural and religious sway over a vast swath of the American heartland.
Well into the 19th century, many white Americans refused to believe that the "savages" they encountered in their ruthless drive across the continent could have built the impressive mounds or earthen pyramids found at numerous places in the Midwest and Southeast. Cahokia is by far the biggest such site, but by no means the first. There are several mound complexes in the Deep South that predate the time of Christ, and one in Louisiana has been dated to 3,400 B.C., well before the building of the Egyptian or Maya pyramids.
..snip..
This led to the idea that some ancient, superior "Mound Builder" civilization -- variously proposed to be Viking, Greek, Chinese or Israelite in origin -- had originally settled the continent before being overrun by the wild and warlike American Indians.
..snip..
He seems on firmer intuitive ground in suggesting that outlying agrarian villages, whose populations were ethnically and culturally distinctive, much poorer than Cahokians and predominantly female, may have provided the Cahokia elite with sacrificial victims.
[ The answer stares him in the face: the Cahokians were a higher version of the tribes found today, who were created when the elites got overwhelmed by their slave populations, which is why the new population didn't build great cities like Cahokia. The article does a lot of hand-waving about human sacrifice to obscure this fact. ]

Dwindling water, food, oil and time
But the first detailed assessment of more than 800 oil fields in the world, covering three quarters of global reserves, has found that most of the biggest fields have already peaked and that the rate of decline in oil production is now running at nearly twice the pace as calculated just two years ago. On top of this, there is a problem of chronic under-investment by oil-producing countries, a feature that is set to result in an "oil crunch" within the next five years which will jeopardise any hope of a recovery from the present global economic recession, he said.
[ This issue has faded from the media lens but is just as present as it ever was. In addition, fresh water, food supplies and open spaces are dwindling. Looks like when people told us to be tolerant and accept every stupid idea that came along, we were building a nightmare for the future. Imagine that! The average voter cannot, which is why smart people oppose democracy. ]

Suddenly, they wake up
"At this point in my life, I have never seen my America turned into what it has turned into, and I want my America back," said one woman, on the verge of tears. "
[ The problem is not blacks; it's multiculturalism and liberalism, both of which encourage the herd to gang up on the few people who are realistic. Like the revolutions in 1789, 1917 and 1968, this is another power grab by the people without a clue -- but a burning desire for revenge. The normal, European-American is now an endangered species, and some of them are shaking off their TV-stupor long enough to figure that out. ]

Legitimizing psychological re-programming
Scientific evidence shows the main influences of climate change are behavioral â€" population growth and energy consumption. "What is unique about current global climate change is the role of human behavior," said task force chair Janet Swim, PhD, of Pennsylvania State University. "We must look at the reasons people are not acting in order to understand how to get people to act."
[ Yeah, well, people are overwhelmed because our society is neurotic. How about fixing that first, instead of trying to legitimize your propaganda? Environmentalism is important, but the way this society goes about it is so tainted by illusion that it's more of an excuse for a power grab than an honest "green" direction. ]

Pro-Nazi author "rehabilitated"
All this week, Norway is feting a writer who was lucky to escape being shot for his shameless collaboration with the Nazis. Knut Hamsun was either, according to taste, one of the greatest figures in world literature, or a vile old man with a head full of nasty ideas who betrayed his country.
[ You have the "freedom" to choose any political party you like, so long as the Herd doesn't dislike it. If not, your books will be ignored even if they're better than anything the herdists are currently writing. ]
