Newt Slams Media For Not Demanding Transparency Of Federal Reserve

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2011/10/11/newt_slams_media_for_not_demanding_transparency_of_federal_reserve.html

Newt Gingrich is asked about the Occupy Wall Street movement at the Bloomberg debate in New Hampshire:

New Gingrich: "If they want to change things, the first thing to do is fire Bernanke, who is a disaster as chairman of the Federal Reserve. The second person to fire is Geithner. The fact is, in both the Bush and the Obama administrations the fix has been in. And I think it's perfectly reasonable to be angry. But let's be clear about who put the fix in. The fix was put in by the federal government. If you want to put people in jail, I want to second what Michele said, you ought to start with Barney Frank and Chris Dodd. And let's look at the politicians who created the environment, the politicians who profited from the environment and the politicians who put this country in trouble."

Charlie Rose, moderator: "Clearly, you're not saying they should go to jail?"

Gingrich: "Well, in Chris Dodd's case, go back to look at the Countryside deals. In Barney Frank's case, go back and look at the lobbyist who was close to Freddie Mac. All I'm saying is, everybody in the media who wants to go after the business community ought to start by going after the politicians who were at the heart of the sickness which is weakening this country and ought to start with Bernanke, who still has not been exposed for the hundreds of billions of dollars."

"I want to repeat this, Bernanke has in secret has spent hundreds of billions of dollars bailing out one group and not bailing another group. I don't see how anybody in the news media demanding the kind of transparency of the Fed that you would demand of every other aspect of the federal government. And I think it is corrupt and wrong for one man to have that kind of secret power."

Mehdi Hasan - Non Muslims live like animals

"We know that keeping the moral high-ground is key. Once we lose the moral high-ground we are no different from the rest, of the non-Muslims; from the rest of those human beings who live their lives as animals, bending any rule to fulfil any desire."

"Ayatollah Khameinei has issued a fatwa saying the stockpiling, the production, the use of nuclear weapons us forbidden under Islam. Spot on. Islamic Republic of Iran. The fatwa of the Supreme Leader."

Hasan can be heard describing disbelief in Islam as an “infirmity” or mental illness.

In Islam, to believe is to know. To disbelieve is not to know. That is what it fundamentally comes down to; it [to disbelieve] is to remain ignorant; to cover up knowledge. After all, what is kaffar? Kaffar comes from the root word which means to cover up, to conceal. The kaffar is the one who covers up that knowledge which is clear. The French orientalist scholar Lamens [?], he once wrote that the Quran is not far from considering unbelief, disbelief as an infirmity, as an illness, as a disease of the human mind. Subhanallah. Non-Muslims point this out to us.

‘REAL NEWS FROM THE BLAZE:’ PROPAGANDA U.S.A.?

The latest defense authorization bill passed Friday afternoon in the House without much attention until Michael Hastings over at Buzzfeed noticed something out of the ordinary in the procedural legislation: an amendement that would overturn the Smith-Mundt Act of 1948 and Foreign Relations Authorization Act in 1987; legislation that protects U.S. audiences from our own government’s propaganda and misinformation campaigns. The authors of the bill, Texas Republican Rep. Mac Thornberry and Washington Democrat Rep. Adam Smith say that in this age of social media our government needs to be flexible in combating, for example, Al Qaeda’s propaganda that lands on U.S. shores and in front of U.S. citizens via the internet. Critics contend that with the repeal of this legislation whatever administration is in power would now be enabled to disseminate false and biased information to American citizens.

The “Real News” panel opened Monday examining the possible implications of this amendment, as well as the historical context of the Smith-Mundt Act and Foreign Relations Authorization Act in 1987.

The Blaze’s National Security Editor Buck Sexton commented that propaganda during the majority of the 20th Century consisted of U.S. military operations abroad, but with the many forms of instant communication today, such misinformation becomes assessable to anyone with an internet connection. Andrew Wilkow feared that it is difficult to identify how far government participation in propaganda could go, with S.E. Cupp adding that propaganda could make our efforts to spread democracy to foreign cultures seem disingenuous.

Communists Directly Access the Fed

China can now bypass Wall Street when buying U.S. government debt and go straight to the U.S. Treasury, in what is the Treasury's first-ever direct relationship with a foreign government.

The relationship means the People's Bank of China buys U.S. debt using a different method than any other central bank in the world.

the U.S. Treasury Department has given the People's Bank of China a direct computer link to its auction system, which the Chinese first used to buy two-year notes in late June 2011.

Aging Men and Fertility

The paraphrase does not do justice to actually reading the text and quoting from it accurately. The source was not cited but this is "Male age" article in question.

JOURNAL OF ASSISTED REPRODUCTION AND GENETICS, Volume 25, Number 4, 137-143, DOI: 10.1007/s10815-008-9215-4, ASSISTED REPRODUCTION, Male age influences oocyte-donor program results

Eliezer Girsh, Nathan Katz, Leonid Genkin, Ofer Girtler, Jaron Bocker, Sofa Bezdin and Ilya Barr

"The purpose of our research was to examine the relationship between male age and semen parameters in a range of ages (from 20s to 60s) in Egg Donation Program (EDP) cycles. EDP provides a pool of high quality oocytes, thus allowing better analysis of the sperm efficacy."

First of all, the researchers explain their purpose, oocytes.

"Our study confirms that sperm parameters are reduced by age and suggests that this age-dependent effect could be a reason for failures in IVF cycles even in EDP couples."

Secondly, their conclusion is in regards to couples, male and female, and they address both genders.

"While some investigators have found a lower pregnancy rate in recipients of more advanced age, others have not observed this relationship."

The actual study, "Male age," points out that research demonstrates that age is not a consistent factor.

This is a reference to a contrarian study:

Cf. Paulson RJ, Hatch IE, Lobo RA, Sauer MV. Cumulative conception and live birth rates after oocyte donation: implications regarding endometrial receptivity. Hum Reprod 1997; 12:8359.

In the "Male age" study:

"The average age of 484 men in the study was 45.98.2 years old (range 2560 years old; The recipient women's average age was 44.36.81 years old (range 2454)."

They did not examine men older than 60.

The authors state:

"In addition, there is no consensus on the direct relationship between spermatozoa morphology and genetic abnormalities. It has been postulated that there is no correlation between sperm morphology and genetic condition, which leads us to believe that there is no guarantee that spermatozoa with good morphology will not have any genetic abnormalities, and vice versa. Other reports, such as Martin and co-authors, demonstrated that oligozoospermic samples have an increased probability of sperm chromosome abnormality, whether from mild to severe oligozoospermia, whereas chromosomal abnormalities of spermatozoa are not higher in aging males."

There is no consensus on genetic abnormalities; young men can produce abnormalities and older men may not. Most importantly, chromosomal abnormalities are not higher in aging males.

In fact, the authors were surprised by their research.

The authors stated: "We have to admit that several pregnancies occurred from teratozoospermic men, with one case of pregnancy obtained from a 56 year old man with severe teratozoospermia."

Even relatively older men, in this case a 56 year old man, resulted in an unexpected pregnancy.

However, there are expected results: older women decline.

The authors state:

"Natural fertility rates decline in women as they enter the fifth decade of life. By the time of the perimenopause pregnancy rarely occurs, whether or not assisted reproductive techniques are initiated. However, if oocytes are donated by young women to older women, both embryo implantation and pregnancy rates are restored to normal levels in recipients."

Donations by young women can restore older women to normal levels.

On the other hand, for men, "in some cases fertility may be preserved up to a very old age, especially if the ICSI method, that permits one `to fish out' normal spermatozoa in moderate and severe teratozoospermic samples, is successfully employed."

Men can be fertile up to an undetermined, but very old age, and the authors did not find a correlation between aging men and abnormalities.

N.C. TEACHER TELLS STUDENT HE COULD BE ARRESTED FOR TALKING BADLY ABOUT OBAMA

Please note there is a slight content warning for language.

Should schools teach students could be arrested for talking badly about Obama? Why or why not?

Last Monday, a high school student in North Carolina engaged his social studies teacher in a heated debate about politics and the two leading presidential candidates. During the exchange, the teacher (an obvious Obama supporter) got very angry with the student and accused him of disrespecting the president. She even went so far as to tell the boy that he could be jailed for speaking ill of Obama.

Sarah Campbell of the Salisbury Post first reported on the story. She claims that the school district is not releasing the name of the teacher and that she is not responding to requests for public comment (although the two students identified her to the newspaper). According to Campbell’s story, the teacher will not be suspended or even face disciplinary action for what was heard on the recording. A statement from the school was released at the end of the week:

“The Rowan-Salisbury School System expects all students and employees to be respectful in the school environment and for all teachers to maintain their professionalism in the classroom. This incident should serve as an education for all teachers to stop and reflect on their interaction with students. Due to personnel and student confidentiality, we cannot discuss the matter publicly.”

So, how bad was the exchange? It got fairly heated, with the teacher shouting at times. The kerfuffle started after one student asked a question about the teacher’s “fact of the day” that said Romney was a bully back in high school. A student asked:

“Didn’t Obama bully somebody, though?”

The teacher started to get angry and said:

“Not to my knowledge.”

The text comes directly from Obama’s first memoir, “Dreams From My Father” and recounts an incident which occurred while he was in middle school. When Obama became the subject of taunts from his fellow classmates, he decided to shove a little girl named Coretta. Although he chronicles his feelings of regret, he never does not offer her an apology.

A couple of students relayed the story about Obama admitting that he bullied someone when he was younger. And that seemed to light the fuse on his teacher’s anger. A couple of the students exchanged words with the angry teacher.

“Stop! Stop! Because there’s no comparison. He’s running for president. Obama is the president.”

As one student attempted to argue for a fair, two-sided debate on the history of the candidates, he was shouted down and talked over by the teacher. She continued:

“You got to realize, this man is wanting to be what Obama is. There’s no comparison.”

Once again, the students pressed for equal discussion of the histories of both men, with one saying:

“If you’re gonna talk trash about one side, you gotta talk trash about the other.”

The teacher just seemed to dig her heels in deeper and press her defense of Obama telling the defiant teen:

“You will not disrespect the president of the United States in this classroom.”

Again the student persisted and invoked his First Amendment right.

“I’ll say what I want.”

The still unidentified teacher read the student her rules…her Obama rules.

“Not about him, you won’t!”

The back and forth continued and the most strident of the two students reminded his teacher that President Bush was constantly treated to negative statements about him while he was in office:

“Whenever Bush was president, everybody talked sh-t about him.”

To which the teacher responded:

“Because he was sh-tty.”

The social studies educator went on for a full minute with more ranting, saying that people were arrested for saying derogatory things about President Bush. The student correctly reminded the teacher that opinions are protected, but you cannot be arrested unless you threaten the president.

Our research has not turned up a single case of anyone in America being arrested for speaking ill of former President Bush. The local newspaper story also mentioned that their discussions about the story with a political science professor could not recall the arrests that the teacher was speaking about.

There are no examples of people getting arrested for saying disrespectful things about Bush.

The entire confrontation was recorded by a student and posted on YouTube. Listen below; slight content warning for language.
