Ian Hunter: Mick Ralphs talks Mott The Hoople, Bowie and blouses

I'd sung Ready For Love in Mott already because Ian [Hunter], bless him, said, 'I love those songs but they don't suit my voice,' which I completely understand.


"With the Mott thing, it took four years from 2009 to 2013 to get them to do it again. Me and Ian wanted to do more, but at the time the other guys weren't sure. So whether we do anything after this I've no idea. I've never had a plan - it was just to try and get with the people you like to play with, and try to do the best you can. So I've really no idea what's going to happen next year, whether there's going to be more Mott or more Bad Company. But I'm sure my blues band will still be filling in the gaps!"

Judge Rules Violating 4th Amendment Legal

NEW YORK — Citing the Sept. 11 attacks, a federal judge on Friday found that the National Security Agency's bulk collection of millions of Americans' telephone records is legal, a valuable part of the nation's arsenal to counter the threat of terrorism and "only works because it collects everything."

Inside the 9/11 Coverup

http://nypost.com/2013/12/15/inside-the-saudi-911-coverup/ It was kept secret and remains so today. President Bush inexplicably censored 28 full pages of the 800-page report. Text isn’t just blacked-out here and there in this critical-yet-missing middle section. The pages are completely blank, except for dotted lines where an estimated 7,200 words once stood (this story by comparison is about 1,000 words).

Anne-Marie Waters | Islam Is Not A Peaceful Religion | Oxford Union

Anne-Marie Waters, council member of the National Secular Society, begins the case for the opposition by denying that she and her fellow opposition speakers cause fear of Islam and blames instead "the actions of Islam itself".

She lists "9/11, 7/7, Mali, Somalia, gender discrimination, forced marriages, polygamy, amputation", and many more. To the opposition's claim that these acts belong to an "extreme fringe" which has misunderstood the words of the Qur'an, she described the executions for blasphemy and apostasy in Saudi Arabia, and asks "has there ever been a more spectacular misunderstanding?"

Waters concludes by arguing that it is the moderate Muslims who must "dance around meanings" and "stretch interpretations" when confronted with the fundamentally violent ideology of the Qur'an.

Obama Shakes Raúl Castro's Hand

For those who believe in human rights and liberty, the sight of our president bounding up some stairs to energetically shake hands with Raul Castro, dictator of Cuba, was more than a little unsettling -- regardless of the circumstance. But that's what President Obama seemed to go out of his way to do at Nelson Mandela's memorial service Tuesday. Although Castro has imprisoned American Alan Gross for four years now, CNN alternately applauded and made excuses for the handshake.

Public says America's world leadership has tumbled to 40-year low

For the first time in nearly 40 years, a majority of Americans believe the United States is less important around the world and that it should mind its own business, a stunning rejection of Obama’s foreign policy just four years after he received the Nobel Prize.

A new Pew Research Center poll found that 53 percent of people believe that the U.S. is playing a less important role as a world leader than a decade ago, the highest figure since 1984.

Worse: 70 percent said that the U.S. is respected less than in the past, almost matching the high reached under former President George W. Bush, whose foreign policy Obama pledged to reverse.

IRRC Votes in Favor of Chapter 4 Revisions Despite Outcry from Public

The PA Independent Regulatory Review Commission (IRRC) voted 3-2 in favor of the Chapter 4 regulations (adopting Pennsylvania Core Standards aka Common Core) despite public outcry, letters from legislators and comments from school administrators, teachers and staff.

The three yes votes were:
Silvan B. Lutkewitte, III, (R) Chairman
John F. Mizner, Esq. (R)
Lawrence J. Tabas, Esq. (R)

The two no votes were:
George D. Bedwick, Vice Chairman, (D)
Dennis A. Watson, Esq., (D)

You can read the final approval at: IRRC Final Approval.

It is more important than ever for you to continue this battle.  We need to focus our efforts on the following tasks:

1.         Local
Every supporter of local control needs to engage his/her school board and lobby them to write and pass a resolution rescinding Common Core.  You can find an example of a resolution that was recently approved by the Coatesville School Board here on the Stop Common Core in Pa Website:  Coatsville SD Resolution.

2.         Education
Every opponent of Common Core should continue to educate other citizens on what is happening through coffee klatches, school board meetings, soccer games and kitchen tables.

3.         Curriculum
We need to stay attentive to and stay on top of the curriculum and lesson plans in our area schools.  We need to red flag any lesson plan that is questionable.  Most importantly, we need to make sure our children gets the extra support particularly in the math so this will have a minimal effect on them.  You can report any questionable curriculum and lesson plans to the following Facebook page:  Inappropriate Common Core Lessons.  This page is also a great resource in helping you discover where some inappropriate lessons already exist.  We encourage you to become members of this page.

4.       Legislators
We will be distributing a list of the legislators who opposed Common Core and Chapter 4 regulations and actively fought alongside of us.  There will also be a list of legislators who actively supported it despite hundreds, even thousands of pleas to oppose it.  They ignored you, the voter. Finally, there are the legislators who did nothing.  They did nothing despite your constant tireless pleas to help oppose this monster.  All of these legislators will be up for election, including Governor Corbett who had and still has the power to stop Common Core now.

1787 warning about Obama, “Brutus Junior” in Anti-Federalist Paper #38

“I deny that we are in immediate danger of anarchy and commotions. Nothing but the passions of wicked and ambitious men will put us in the least danger on this head. Those who are anxious to precipitate a measure will always tell us that the present is the critical moment; now is the time, the crisis is arrived, and the present minute must be seized. Tyrants have always made use of this plea; but nothing in our circumstances can justify it.”

Speaker Mohamed El-Nabawy had to be ushered off stage by security guards when around 30 demonstrators stormed a lecture theatre at Bloomsbury’s School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), which is part of the University of London. They were said to have targeted the public discussion, focusing on the challenges facing Egypt, because of Mr El-Nabawy’s ties to the Tamarod group which opposed ex President Mohammed Morsi. The movement played a key role in the ousting of Muslim Brotherhood-backed Morsi in June this year.

Ian Hunter on Cool Cleveland

After completing the last night of his most recent US tour, Ian Hunter hung out in the green room at The Kent Stage with Cool Cleveland's Thomas Mulready and some of his Cleveland area friends, including Weird & Gilly.

Ian talks frankly about life on the road, the upcoming Mott The Hoople British gigs (including the massive O2 Arena on 11/18), his old friend Buffin, and whether he's writing new material for an up-and-coming Mott The Hoople record, or if it would be more appropriate to record with The Rant Band, his touring outfit featuring bandleaders James Mastro on guitar and Steve Holly on drums, with Andy Burton on keys, Paul Page on bass and Mark Bosch on lead guitar.
The song referred to in the interview is by Nicol Williamson, 'Season Song', and the album wasn't actually released until 1971.

Obamacare Song

Reason’s Remy Munasifi has once again fused comedy, music and politics into a catchy tune that will probably have you laughing and nodding in agreement.

Mocking the White House’s Obamacare video contest, which offered up $30,000 in prizes, Munasifi wrote his own “Obamacare Video Contest Song.”


OBAMA DESTROYING DOLLAR, CHINA to TAKE U.S. LAND for DEBT: Ann Barnhardt


Discussed in this interview:
*Government Shutdown, all "Theater" - (1:45)
*Obamacare to be Defunded? - (14:10)
*Difference Between the Republican and Democrat Parties? - (22:05)
*Events that might Trigger War or Financial Collapse - (33:12)
*Debt Ceiling Raised Till Debt Implodes; China to Take U.S. Land for Debt? - (36:00)

Ann Barnhardt, a convert to traditional Roman Catholicism, originally from the Kansas City area, graduated from Kansas State University with a degree in animal husbandry and agricultural economics and worked for 15 years as a commercial hedge broker, helping farmers and ranchers use the futures and options markets to forward contract and hedge their livestock and grain production, with the final six of those years being at the helm of her own Independent Introducing brokerage, Barnhardt Capital Management. After the MF Global theft she voluntarily shuttered Barnhardt Capital Management knowing that her clients' funds were in a state of clear and present danger of theft on the clearinghouse level with no protection, defense or legal recourse. She publicly declared a federal tax strike shortly thereafter and is now operating as a voice of counter-revolution off the so-called "grid". Ann considers the United States to be formally overthrown and thus legally non-existent, instead replaced by a neo-Stalinist tyranny. Find Ann Barnhardt online: http://Barnhardt.biz

Gun Debate, 2nd Amendment

Piers Morgan is getting sick and tired of having the same "ridiculous debate" every time there is a mass shooting, and made that abundantly clear when he unloaded on conservative radio host Ben Ferguson and gun rights activist John Lott during a heated argument over gun control Monday night. Ferguson told Morgan the Navy Yard was a gun-free zone, so gun control was "a failure in this base with all the best security in the world." Morgan complained that the bigger failure is the "failure to do anything" in the wake of countless tragic shootings. After Richard Feldman brought up the lack of a real conversation on mental health, Morgan cried, "You guys just never accept that the gun itself can never be part of the problem!"

First Human-to-Human Brain Interface: Researcher Controls Colleague's Motions

University of Washington researchers have performed what they believe is the first noninvasive human-to-human brain interface, with researcher Rajesh Rao able to send a brain signal via the Internet to control the hand motions of fellow researcher Andrea Stocco. Rao wore a cap with electrodes hooked up to an electroencephalography machine, which reads electrical activity in the brain. On the other side of the university campus, Stocco wore a magnetic stimulation coil over his left motor cortex, which controls hand movement. Rao looked at a computer screen and played a simple video game with his mind; when he was supposed to fire at a target, he imagined moving his right hand to hit the "fire" button. Almost instantaneously, Stocco's right index finger moved involuntarily to hit the “fire” button.

Students Banned from Passing Out Constitutions on Constitution Day at Modesto Junior College

Modesto Junior College in California told a student that he could not pass out copies of the United States Constitution outside the student center on September 17, 2013—Constitution Day. Captured on video, college police and administrators demanded that Robert Van Tuinen stop passing out Constitution pamphlets and told him that he would only be allowed to pass them out in the college's tiny free speech zone, and only after scheduling it several days or weeks ahead of time.

This video contains the relevant portions of Van Tuinen's experience. The three full, unedited videos taken by the students can be watched below:

Navy Yard Shooter: Mohammed Salem (not Alexis) Had "Secret" Clearance

Law enforcement officials told NBC News that Alexis created a webpage with the name "Mohammed Salem."

Video of Mohammed Salem Stalking Halls

http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/09/25/fbi-releases-chilling-new-video-of-navy-yard-shooter-stalking-halls-with-shotgun/

There were originally three suspects: "The white male in the tan outfit has been identified and is not a suspect or person of interest." I have not found his name or identification anywhere but he was cleared. Oddly, the original report stated: "The two at large suspects were dressed in military garb but are not believed to be U.S. service personnel." Elsewhere, his description included a "khaki like uniform." The cleared suspect was "carrying a handgun and wearing a tan Navy-style uniform and a beret." If that is the case, what was a non-service personnel doing on a Navy base in military garb?

In addition, "authorities are looking for another man:" "a black man in his 50s with a long rifle in an olive colored garb." Another report stated this was a "olive-green, military-style uniform."

"Witnesses described a gunman opening fire from a fourth-floor overlook, aiming down on people in the cafeteria on the main floor. Others said a gunman fired at them in a third-floor hallway. It was not clear whether the witnesses on different floors were describing the same gunman.

Earlier reports may not be accurate since a Reuters report came at 9:12 PM EST.

The killer had "secret" clearance and was assigned to start working there as a civilian contractor with a military-issued ID card, his firm's CEO told Reuters.
"He did have a secret clearance. And he did have a CAC (common access card)," said Thomas Hoshko, CEO of "The Experts," which was helping service the Navy, Marine Corps intranet as a subcontractor for a Hewlett-Packard Enterprise Services contract.

Asked when he was supposed to start work, Hoshko said in a telephone interview: "That's what I got to find out, if he was supposed to start today ... It's not clear to me."

In contrast, the original report was the primary shooter is dead; he "was a civilian contractor who reportedly stole a military ID to gain access to the Navy Yard."

He was an "employee of a company called "The Experts," a subcontractor for an HP Enterprise Services military contract, Hewlett-Packard said."

HP said the contract was "to refresh equipment used on the Navy Marine Corps Intranet (NMCI) network."
He "claimed to be suffering from PTSD after helping rescue efforts in New York following the 9/11 terrorist attacks."

In 2004, he was arrested in Seattle for shooting the tires of someone's car during an anger-fueled 'blackout'.
The shooter "was arrested for disorderly conduct in August 2008 in DeKalb County, Georgia. He was released from custody after posting $364 bond (and posing for a booking photo). The details and disposition of the misdemeanor case could not be obtained."



He spent nearly four years in the Navy as a full-time reservist from May 2007 until he was discharged in January 2011: he was discharged in for 'misconduct.' During his military service "he was awarded the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal and the National Defense Service Medal."

The killer "was arrested in Fort Worth in 2010 for discharging a firearm." The charge was dropped against him.

The Orion at Oak Hill apartments in Fort Worth began eviction efforts against Aaron Alexis later in September 2010. Records show that he moved from the Oak Hill apartments in December 2010.

In early-July, a male roommate of Alexis’s called Fort Worth cops to report his suspicion that Alexis “put unknown substance in gas tank to damage vehicle,” according to a July 5 report.

He "recently visited Thailand and had been to Japan with a computer defense contractor, where he worked in information technology."

A friend--no name was given--said Alexis loved Buddhism. “He loved to go to temple, go to meditate in Thai and English,” the friend said. “He could do both of them.”

Nutpisit Suthamtewakul calling the shooter his "best friend" and they were roommates. He is the "owner of Happy Bowl Thai in White Settlement, TX.

Chris Childs, director of TheBlaze TV’s “The Pat & Stu Show,” told us he frequently visited the Thai restaurant Alexis worked at in Fort Worth, and got to know him over time.
“The thing that really struck me was the fact that he was really big into the shooter video games,” Childs told TheBlaze.

The Star-Telegram's Bud Kennedy and copy editor Sandy Guerra-Cline describe the Aaron Alexis they knew, as a gentle waiter at a White Settlement Thai restaurant. (Sept. 16, 2013) Video by Kathy Vetter/Star-Telegram



Suthamtewakul was married in 2008.
Groom: NUTPISIT SUTHAMTEWAKUL Age: 27 Born: 1980 or 1981 Bride: HATHAIRAT VICHAIDIST Age: 56 Born: 1951 or 1952
Cf. 161200 SUTHAMTEWAKUL NUTPISIT 27 VICHAIDIST HATHAIRAT 56 11/25/2008 220 TARRANT

Another source references different names for the owners of the restaurant:

"Kristi Suthamtewakul said in an interview. Alexis met Oui Suthamtewakul, Kristi’s husband."
The shooter's Texan landlord, Somsak Srisan, is on the Board of Directors at the Thai Community Center of North Texas. He married in 2001.

Two factions linked to al-Qaeda, Jabhat al-Nusra and the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) - also know as the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Shams (ISIS) - have come to dominate among the more extremist fighters.

Anti-Common Core Candidate Claims School Board Member Called 911 and Had Deputy Remove Him From Meeting

Who is Profiting from Common Core?

Dollars received by Pro-Common Core speakers:

I. Joan Benso, CEO of Pennsylvania Partnerships for Children (PPC) :
3 separate grants from the Gates Foundation for a total of $935,859
 

II. David Patti, CEO Pennsylvania Business Council (PBC)
One Grant From Gates Foundation $257,391

III. Carolyn Dumaresq, Executive Deputy Secretary of PA Dept. of Education
One Grant From Gates Foundation $526,960 to PA Department of Education


Impressions from Monday's Common Core event held at Notre Dame:
Dr. Williamson Evers of the Hoover Institution stated breaks that proponents of Common Core have absolutely no grass roots on this issue, and are terrified of our numbers and energy among activists.
 
Dr. Sandra Stotsky of the University of Arkansas noted that state boards of education around the U.S. adopted the Common Core standards before the standards were actually written, and that this breach of procedure might open up these actions by state boards to a legal challenge through the office of a state's Inspector General, or the equivalent office.  Dr. Stotsky also noted that CCSS emphasizes writing over reading, when decades of experience tell us this should be the other way around.
 
Andrew Kern of the CiRCE Institute noted that it is stories that help children develop their minds, not the informational texts favored by Common Core.
 
Dr. James Milgram of Stanford University stated that CCSS embraces the teaching of Geometry without proofs, and the teaching of Algebra without conics and logarithms, even though these are the effective methods for teaching this material.
 
Ze'ev Wurman of the Hoover Institution noted that success in college mathematics, and achieving a STEM degree, depends more on taking challenging mathematics courses in high school than any other single factor.  Common Core abandons the idea of having students take the gateway course of Algebra I in grade 8, which is critical to the students reaching Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, and Calculus in high school.  Mr. Wurman also stated that CCSS expects students in grades 1-2 to master difficult concepts, then slows to almost no progress in learning expectations in grades 3-6.  As a result, by grade 8, students are one or two complete grade levels behind the expectations of previous Indiana standards.  Students do not close this achievement gap during high school.
 
Dr. Megan Koschnick, a clinical child psychologist from Indianapolis, described how Common Core pushes certain abstract learning concepts down to kindergarten and first grade, even though many children at these ages have not yet reached the reasoning stages required for this learning.  This will likely cause stress and discord for students, teachers, and parents.
William Estrada of the Home School Legal Defense Association and Jane Robbins of the American Principles Project both raised excellent points regarding the depth and scope of the data collection and sharing that is planned as part of CCSS.
