Government-Funded Study Says “Conspiracy Theorists” Are Dangerous And Could Join ISIS

<p><a href="http://cdn10.trueactivist.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/alien.jpg"><img alt="alien" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-36871" height="469" src="http://cdn10.trueactivist.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/alien.jpg" width="750" /></a></p> <hr /> <p>A government-backed study recently published in the UK has equated “conspiracy theorists” with violent terrorists, saying that belief in alternative viewpoints could be a warning sign of terrorist activity. The author of the study, Quassim Cassam, a professor of philosophy at the University of Warwick, also said that people who believe in alternative viewpoints have a potential of joining ISIS.</p> <p><a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/what-turns-someone-into-a-conspiracy-theorist-study-to-look-at-why-some-are-more-receptive-to-such-theories-10427940.html">This week, he told <em>The Independent</em></a>: “<em>The other explanation is that that these people are literally mad or mentally ill but I don’t really go for that theory. For example take 9/11 conspiracy theorists. Why do they hold onto their conspiracy theory despite the fact that there seems to be overwhelming evidence that it wasn’t an American government conspiracy to bring down the towers? The answer is they are overwhelmingly receptive to certain kinds of evidence for instance of</em> website <em>and they are overly dismissive of other types of evidence such as engineers’ reports on the towers.”</em></p> <p>Perhaps Profesor Cassam is “mad” himself, or has not done his research, because despite his claims of evidence, an overwhelming number of <a href="http://www.ae911truth.org/">architects and engineers</a> around the world actually question the official story of 9/11 and are among millions of people worldwide who are demanding a new and independent investigation into the attacks.</p> <p>Instead of actually looking into the alternative evidence that has been provided over the many years since the attacks, Cassam has instead decided to only believe the evidence that comes from “official sources”, and is now pathologizing anyone who dares to question authority and seek their own answers.</p> <p>In his interview with <em>The Independent</em>, Cassam admitted that he knew very little about Islam, but then went on to say that conspiracy theories are a recruitment tool for ISIS terrorists, claiming that, “<em>For example, I don’t know much about Islam but I do know that there is an absolute clear bar in Islam on suicide. So people who are told it is acceptable to be suicide bombers are ending up believing something which on the face has no foundation at all.”</em></p> <p>In these comments the professor makes it very clear that he does not even research the topics that he is speaking and studying on, yet due to his position of authority, he feels qualified to speak on things that he knows absolutely nothing about. These comments are very telling, and show exactly why he does not understand people who subscribe to “conspiracy theories”: <em><strong>because we do our research, and he doesn’t.</strong></em></p> <hr /> <p>_{<i>-- Delivered by <a href="http://feed43.com/">Feed43</a> service</i>}</p>

Reunion Island Volcano Erupts Near Possible MH370 Wreckage

Before they left, however, they took with them a piece of debris believed to be a piece of a Boeing 777; the piece is currently being flown to France for testing, and due to a number visible on its side, is believed to be a flaperon from that model plane. No other Boeing 777s are known to be missing in the world.</p> <p>Reports state that it is unclear just how the volcano will affect the investigation, with Australia’s News noting that plumes of volcanic ash will mean planes used to search the ocean will not be able to search the area for some time. Another concern is that Le Piton de la Fournaise is an especially active volcano that has been erupting on and off since February. Even if the current eruption does not last a very long time, the next one could be close behind. La Reunion’s tourist website claims the volcano erupts around every nine months.</p> <p> </p> <div style="display: block !important; margin:0 !important; padding: 0 !important" id="wpsclp_locker_post_end_element"></div> <p>_{<i>-- Delivered by <a href="http://feed43.com/">Feed43</a> service</i>}</p>

Abedin, as Shoebat has extensively <a href="http://www.shoebat.com/documents/Huma_Brotherhood_Connections_072412.pdf">documented her links</a> and ties to Wahhabists including the Muslim Brotherhood.</p> <p><a href="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/humahillary2.jpg"><img alt="humahillary2" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-83163" height="383" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/humahillary2.jpg" width="614" /></a></p> <p>The finding — which Abedin has formally contested — emerged publicly Friday after Sen. Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa) sent <a title="apps.washingtonpost.com" href="http://apps.washingtonpost.com/g/documents/politics/charles-e-grassleys-letter-to-john-f-kerry-regarding-huma-abedins-pay/1679/">letters to Secretary of State John F. Kerry</a> and <a title="apps.washingtonpost.com" href="http://apps.washingtonpost.com/g/documents/politics/charles-e-grassleys-letter-to-steve-a-linick-regarding-huma-abedins-pay/1678/">others</a> seeking more information about an investigation into possible “criminal” conduct by Abedin concerning her pay.</p> <p>According to Grassley’s description of the investigation, Abedin’s time sheets indicated that she never took vacation or sick leave during her four years at the State Department, from January 2009 to February 2013. But the investigation, the senator wrote, found evidence that Abedin did take time off, including a 10-day trip to Italy, and that she told colleagues in e-mails that she was out “on leave.”</p> <p>OIG found at least a reasonable suspicion of a violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 641, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">theft of public money</span> through time and attendance f<span style="text-decoration: underline;">raud</span>, and Title 18, United States Code, Section 208, acts affecting a personal financial interest related to conflicts of interest connected to her overlapping employment as an SGE and her employment at Teneo and at the Clinton Foundation. The Judiciary Committee first inquired about related issues in June 2013. In May 2013, the Department of State allegedly paid Ms. Abedin approximately $33,000 for “unused” leave, though it is unclear whether she should have been entitled to such a payment.”</p> <p>The letter to Abedin can be read in full:</p> <p><img alt="" class=" aligncenter" height="942" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/s3.documentcloud.org/documents/2190080/charles-e-grassleys-letter-to-huma-abedin.pdf" width="727" /></p> <p>Ms. Huma Abedin<br /> July 30, 2015<br /> Page 2 of 3</p> <p>In May 2013, the Department of State allegedly paid you approximately $33,000 for<br /> “unused” leave, though it is unclear whether you should have been entitled to such a payment.<br /> During approximately three and a half years as a full time government employee, you reportedly never requested, were approved for, or had your leave balance reduced for use of any sick leave, annual leave, administrative leave, or maternity leave. Yet, the allegations illustrate that you were in fact on leave on numerous occasions. If these allegations are true, then it raises questions for you and your Department supervisors about why you were paid the cash value of leave taken but not reported and whether you were entitled to such a payment.</p> <p>On June 13, 2013, the Judiciary Committee asked that you provide, among other things,<br /> all documents and communications between the Department of State and Teneo, and any client or entities they represent. You did not provide the requested documents in your response on July 5, 2013. Since then, the Judiciary Committee has received additional allegations that further inform the original request. The Committee has learned of allegations that, during your simultaneous employment by the Department of State, Teneo, and the Clinton Foundation, you were solicited for and delivered favors for preferred individuals. For example, while employed by the Department of State, you allegedly sent or received approximately 7,300 emails on your official Department of State address that involved Mr. Douglas Band, President of Teneo. In one exchange, Mr. Band allegedly emailed you to request that you reach out to then-Secretary<br /> Clinton to encourage President Obama to appoint Ms. Judith Rodin to a White House position.</p> <p>At the time, Ms. Rodin was a client of Teneo and President of the Rockefeller Foundation, a large donor to the Clinton Foundation, a fact which Mr. Band allegedly noted in his email. In addition, you allegedly forwarded this email and others to your non-government account ending in @clintonemail.com. As a result, investigators were unableto review any subsequent emails on the chain, as they were shielded from the Department’s records systems on Secretary Clinton’s non-government server. In light of this new information, please provide the following documents and information:</p> <p>1. All documents and communications responsive to the June 13, 2013, letter from the<br /> Judiciary Committee.</p> <p>2. All documents and communications referring or relating to time and attendance, all<br /> approved timesheets, leave requests, and any requests for paid or unpaid excused<br /> absences or administrative leave.</p> <p>3. All documents and communications referring or relating to any amount received as<br /> compensation for unused leave.</p> <p>4. All documents and communications referring or relating to your designation as an SGE.</p> <p>Ms. Huma Abedin<br /> July 30, 2015<br /> Page 3 of 3</p> <p>5. All e-mails forwarded from your Department of State account to any of your other e-mail accounts.</p> <p>6. What was the purpose of your trip to Italy and France in 2011? If it was to conduct Department of State business, was a government travel voucher submitted? If so, please provide a copy.</p> <p>7. Please provide all records relating to your stay at the U.S. Ambassador to Italy’s<br /> residence in Italy. In addition, did you pay for all aspects of your stay at the residence?</p> <p>If not, then which aspects of your stay at the U.S. Ambassador’s residence did you pay for, if any?<br /> In responding to these requests, please provide all responsive records from all of your email accounts, including non-government email accounts. Please number your responses according to their corresponding questions. Please submit your responses by August 10, 2015. If you have any questions, contact Josh Flynn-Brown of my Committee staff at (202) 224-5225.<br /> Thank you for your cooperation.<br /> Sincerely,</p> <p>Charles E.

I did a whole video on this, with details, photos of the criminals and my own commentary:</p> <p><iframe width="660" height="440" src="http://shoebattube.com/player/embed_player.php?vid=1019&width=660&height=440&autoplay=no" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></p> <p>According to <a href="http://www.haaretz.com/news/israel/.premium-1.668763" target="_blank">one Jewish source:</a></p> <blockquote> <p>The indictment in the burning of a Galilee church marks the first time the police’s West Bank division for nationalist crimes has solved such a case, the police say.</p> <p>The authorities used DNA evidence and were able to achieve an indictment even though the accused kept silent during their interrogation and stayed in harsh conditions under the custody of the Shin Bet security service.</p> <p>Torchings of churches and mosques became a serious phenomenon in Israel starting in 2009. In such cases, the division for nationalist crimes of the Judea and Samaria Police District seeks suspects among Jewish extremists.</p> <p>On Wednesday, two men were indicted for the arson attack on the Church of the Loaves and Fishes on the northern end of Lake Kinneret. Yinon Reuveni, 20, is the main defendant.</p> <p>Yehuda Asraf, 19, was indicted for assisting him and providing the getaway car. The church stands on the site where Christians believe Jesus handed out the loaves and fishes.</p> <p>The two defendants are allegedly members of a radical organization suspected of being responsible for other hate crimes.</p> <p>The first lead after the arson incident was mixed. A security camera near the church filmed a Subaru in the parking lot, but the people emerging were indistinguishable.</p> <p>The breakthrough was triggered by other footage. Reuveni was filmed at the Latrun service station pumping gas into a two-liter bottle, which was later found at the burned-out church, the police say. Revueni was also seen entering the adjacent store, they say.</p> <p>In the church footage, the two figures hesitated on their way back from the church. The police found a glove with sweat that matched Reuveni’s DNA, they say.</p> <p>According to prosecutors, this should be enough to show that Reuveni was present at the scene and had acquired the means to commit arson.</p> <p>If convicted, Reuveni is expected to receive a punishment more severe than the one handed down recently to three right-wing activists. In a plea deal, they each received 30 months in prison for torching a Palestinian-owned car.</p> <p>Reuveni lived in the Givat Habaladim outpost near the Binyamin region settlement of Kokhav Hashahar. The place has become a point of friction with local Palestinians. According to the Shin Bet, Reuveni would leave from there to set mosques on fire.</p> </blockquote> <p>According to <a href="http://www.jta.org/2015/07/30/news-opinion/israel-middle-east/third-suspect-indicted-in-arson-attack-on-historic-church" target="_blank">another Jewish source</a>, “A third suspect was indicted in the alleged arson attack on a historic church in northern Israel.”</p> <p>These Jewish who commit this violence are under the antichrist and are possessed by his spirit. We as Christians must face up to evil when it happens and not take sides. Its not just Muslims who are attacking Christians, its everyone who is under the spirit of Satan. We should not take sides and say, “Oh they are Jews, they are excused; oh they are Muslims, they are not excused.” Evil is evil no matter who commits it. With this we should say to these wicked people, “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.” (John 8:44)</p> <p>All those who hate Christ, hate truth — for Christ is the Truth — and they hate life — for Christ is the Life — and they follow their father the devil, who <em>was a murderer from the beginning</em> . Now I tell you, instead of fighting over which heretic is better, let us instead do the will of God and help our brethren who are being persecuted in Pakistan.</p> <p><a href="https://ffmu.webconnex.com/rescuechristians" target="_blank"><strong>THERE ARE SO MANY CHRISTIAN SUFFERING IN PAKISTAN.

Why aren’t they calling Chattanooga Islamic Terrorism? Because it’s ‘disrespect to Muslims’ and ‘Islam is about peace’. So says Homeland Security chief Jeh Johnson:</p> <blockquote> <p><a href="http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/198858#.Vbt0yZOrQvp"><strong>ARUTZ SHEVA</strong></a> – Homeland Security chief Jeh Johnson announced the policy this past Friday at Aspen Institute’s annual security forum in Washington, D.C. He explained that though it was a Muslim terrorist who shot to death four unarmed Marines in Tennessee two weeks ago, the government will call the attack, and other similar ones, “violent extremism” and not “Islamic terrorism” – out of respect for the Muslim community.</p> <p>Johnson said it is “critical” to refrain from the “Islamic” label in order to “build trust” among Muslims.</p> <p><span class='embed-youtube' style='text-align:center; display: block;'><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='640' height='390' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/lfyUibbHQ3g?version=3&rel=1&fs=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&start=1073&wmode=transparent' frameborder='0' allowfullscreen='true'></iframe></span></p> <p>The Tennessee murderer, Mohammad Abdulazeez, is officially a “homegrown violent extremist,” according to the government – even though he blogged about his Islamic religious motivations for the attack. He and his family also attended a local mosque controlled by a terror-tied Islamic trust.</p> <p>Johnson explained that if officials called Islamic terrorism “Islamic,” they’d “get nowhere” in gaining the “cooperation” of the Muslim community.</p> <p>The moderator of the panel tried to protest: “Isn’t [the] government denying the fundamental religious component of this kind of extremism by not using the word Islamic?”</p> <p>“I could not disagree more,” Johnson responded, and explained that Islam “is about peace.”</p> </blockquote> <p>So for the cause of Muslims to stand up against Islamic extremism, we won’t call it Islamic extremism. Why? They tell us that the terrorists do not represent the beautiful religion of Islam, ISIL corrupts the true teachings of Islam which at its essence as Johnson says “is about peace”.</p> <p>Okay then. If ISIS corrupts the “religion of peace”, how about saying that these terrorists follow fiction? So what part of the ISIL fiction must we expose to the true peaceful Muslims? Of course, we will not call the Quran a book of fiction, in respect to the Quran’s avid readers who believed it was sent to them from the seventh heaven—dictaphoned by a colorful angel of light—to a humble illiterate servant of God.</p> <p>Who do we blame then for the millions of severed heads before ISIL came along when armies that called themselves Islamic Caliphate invaded Christian Syria in 637, then they conquered Christian Armenia, 639, to later massacre 1.2 Million Armenian Christians in 1915 which the United States refuses to pin Turkey for that holocaust. If all these killing do not represent Islam, who do they represent? Would our government say that these were simply “extremists” who “hijacked the beautiful religion”?</p> <p><a href="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Smyrna.jpg"><img alt="Smyrna" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-58665" height="600" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Smyrna.jpg" width="402" /></a></p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/heads.jpg"><img alt="heads" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-58694" height="250" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/heads.jpg" width="427" /></a></p> <p>Can any serious historian say that there is a difference between the Islam of ISIL and the Islam of the Ottomans?</p> <p>And then we had the conquest of Christian Egypt in 639 A.D., in which the population of the Christian Copts gradually decreased from nine million to 700,000 at the early 1900’s and it all happened for the same reason that the U.S. government says about Islam being a “beautiful religion”. Egypt is an important case-in-point regarding this “peaceful Islam” propaganda. It is a fact of history that the Egyptians allowed the Muslims into their country, just as our government says that we need to welcome the Muslims in the United States. When the Egyptian populace heard that the Muslims were arriving, they accepted them with open arms, just as the United States is doing. They refused to see them as deceiving heretics, but as people who merely “believed in the one true God”. Their open mindedness would have received the applause of the moderns, but the end result was the consequence of all ultra equality and tolerance: violence.</p> <p>What creates tyranny is the world of cowards, politicians, media giants and even conservatives who claimed to believe in the purists of truths to only find out they were riddled with the ignorance that was born out of their inner fears.</p> <p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raphael_Lemkin">Raphael Lemkin</a>, – the man who coined the term “Genocide” described the Armenian massacre by Turks as Genocide, yet Hillary Clinton and so many other officials in the United States, including even Republicans would refuse to call this a “Genocide” for the same reasons DHS refuses to call Islamic terrorism “Islamic”.</p> <p>And if anyone wants to see a mixture of hypocrisy, the Bible and cowardly denial, watch this:</p> <p><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/y6qNVanvsvs" width="660" height="415" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p> <p>This state of denial will continue and will only change when America itself suffers a genocide.

The Road to Athabasca: Why I’m Biking To the Tar Sands

<div> <h2> <br /></h2> The Road to Athabasca: Why I’m Biking To the Tar Sands <br /> <div> Six months ago, my friend Phil Jones announced that he was making a bicycle pilgrimage to the tar sands in Alberta, Canada, and asked if anyone wanted to join him.<br /> As he spoke, I nodded and listened, thinking Wait. Where is that? At the time I was working as a barista in Downtown Seattle, pouring espresso shots, pinging between freelance writing jobs and playing music in my band. It took me a while to make the connection in my mind that this place, one of the biggest and most devastating oil extraction projects in the world, was close enough to my home in Seattle that I, too, could ride my bicycle there – all 1,100 miles along the route of the Trans Mountain pipeline through Canada.<br /> Over time, the idea of that ride has grown from one person to a motley crew of passionate artists and storytellers in what is now the <a href="http://www.tarsandsride.org/" rel="nofollow">The Road to Athabasca</a>. I didn't arrive lightly at my decision to go. But the scope of this journey hooked my imagination, and as I read up on the tar sands, spoke to others with firsthand knowledge of the issue, and trained physically for the ride, I began to feel its true gravity and urgency. I, along with others, am now <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tarsandsride/the-road-to-athabasca" rel="nofollow">asking you to support us</a> as we embark on this two-wheeled journey for the climate.<br /> <a href="http://www.occupy.com/sites/default/files/medialibrary/TarSands_3.jpg" rel="nofollow"><img alt="tar sands, tar sands bikeride, carbon emissions, bitumen, The Road to Athabasca, Trans Mountain Pipeline" src="http://www.occupy.com/sites/default/files/medialibrary/TarSands_3.jpg" title="tar sands, tar sands bikeride, carbon emissions, bitumen, The Road to Athabasca, Trans Mountain Pipeline" /></a><br /> <strong>How dirty is it?</strong><br /> The term “tar sands” refers to a substance of sand, clay and tar bitumen that with intense processing can become oil (for more, <a href="http://www.npr.org/2012/08/16/158907708/infographic-how-tar-sands-oil-is-produced" rel="nofollow">see this great NPR infographic</a>). After being extracted, the tar is mixed with a mega-cocktail of hot water, heavy chemicals, natural gas and light crude oil, thus generating a new substance: "dilbit," or diluted bitumen. The stuff then gets pumped south through oil pipelines from Alberta, reaching tankers where it gets delivered internationally. It’s a substance that The National Resource Defense Council <a href="http://atrium.occupy.com/read/node/www.nrdc.org/energy/tarsandssafetyrisks.asp" rel="nofollow">has called</a> a "highly corrosive, acidic, and potentially unstable blend of thick raw bitumen and volatile natural gas liquid condensate – raising risks of spills and damage to communities along their paths."<br /> The largest field of tar sands in the world is located in Northern Alberta – a distance only marginally longer than San Francisco is from my hometown Seattle. To bring it to the local level for Northwesterners: the Trans Mountain Pipeline, one of these dilbit channels, runs right through our backyard and ends in Anacortes, Washington, after starting its journey in Edmonton, Alberta. The Trans Mountain currently transports 300,000 barrels of dilbit per day, and <a href="http://www.kindermorgan.com/business/canada/tmx_expansion.aspx" rel="nofollow">is expected to triple to an expected 890,000 barrels per day</a>.<br /> But the number that exists on paper is not something I can grasp or experience. This psychic and physical distance is my reason for making the journey. I have led a relatively privileged life amid the bountiful resources of the Northwest, a region built on an oil-driven economy, but I've never been certain of the exact costs of that privileged existence on the land and its people. The metaphor of the frog in boiling water feels appropriate here – because when we speak of our changing climate, what’s at stake is nothing less than life itself.<br /> To fight for those stakes, I must understand them. And I cannot truly understand something I cannot see or feel. Back in April, I attended one of my first climate protests against the Shell oil rig that had anchored in Seattle’s Puget Sound. Reuben George, a leader of the Tsleil-Waututh Nation, addressed some thousands of people saying, “When something comes along that will negatively impact the people I love, I am going to stop it.” The statement hit home for me. I love my family, and I love my friends, and like most anyone else I long for a healthy planet for future generations.<br /> But I also love this land, my home. I grew up in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, the conclusion of the Oregon Trail, which is some of the most fertile land for agriculture and a place that instilled in me a love of good food, big mountains and towering trees. In Washington state, I feel that extension of my original home.<br /> Some may call it an overstatement to say that the oil industry has brought the war to our doorstep with the tar sands. I do not agree. I see the issue as a battle for this place on earth, home to humans and sea otters and gulls and deer and killer whales, threatened with destruction by an industry whose currency is oil and whose values are chained to profits. The same is true for the northern Albertans, whose land has been stolen, their groundwater polluted, and who have seen cancer rates skyrocket as a result of the oil industry’s activities in their region. In the end, we humans all depend on the land; to destroy it is to destroy ourselves.<br /> <a href="http://www.occupy.com/sites/default/files/medialibrary/route-map_June26_FINAL.jpg" rel="nofollow"><img alt="tar sands, tar sands bikeride, carbon emissions, bitumen, The Road to Athabasca, Trans Mountain Pipeline" src="http://www.occupy.com/sites/default/files/medialibrary/route-map_June26_FINAL.jpg" title="tar sands, tar sands bikeride, carbon emissions, bitumen, The Road to Athabasca, Trans Mountain Pipeline" /></a><br /> <strong>Preparing for the journey</strong><br /> Two weeks ago, I biked 68 miles with three other cyclists, which was five times the longest distance I had ever traveled without a car. Beginning on South Whidbey Island’s pastoral hills and roadside organic gardens, we rode north over beautiful Deception Pass and west to the Tesoro and Shell oil refinery in Anacortes, seated directly on the edgewaters of the Samish First Nation.<br /> On the way we encountered pristine water, soaring gulls and bobbing harbor seals. But when we finally arrived at the gate to the refinery, we felt like we were witness to a fearsome monolith. The high buildings, surrounded by tall gates and barbed wire, spewed plumes of black smoke into an already gray sky. To be in the presence of that weight felt like a grave reminder of the seriousness of this fight, and the damage caused by the most powerful substance on Earth. That evening at the water’s edge, I saw the brute physicality of the oil refinery rub up against the large geography of this journey that we as a group have chosen to undertake.<br /> We call this trip a pilgrimage. A pilgrimage is any long journey, especially one traveled as a quest with a spiritual purpose. Though the tar sands are across the northern border many miles away from home, they not only play an urgent role in the politics, economy and communities of the Northwest; they are also a place on which our collective future depends. The riders participating in The Road to Athabasca believe that preserving this future necessitates a spirit of humility and witness.<br /> Through discovery of place, through story, and through personal connection with people along the way, we want to bear witness and tell the story of the people and places that span the space between Seattle and the tar sands of Alberta. Along the way we will be challenged and pushed to limits we didn’t know we were capable of reaching physically, emotionally, spiritually. We will be hallowed and humbled as we embrace our personal power and agency to change the false narrative that our existence as a species must depend on the earth’s destruction. And we hope, in the process, to encourage others to do the same.<br /> Please support us on this journey by <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tarsandsride/the-road-to-athabasca" rel="nofollow">donating to our Kickstarter campaign</a> and helping spread the word.<br /> <a href="http://www.occupy.com/sites/default/files/medialibrary/Team_Bios5.jpg" rel="nofollow"><img alt="" height="231" src="http://www.occupy.com/sites/default/files/medialibrary/Team_Bios5.jpg" width="640" /></a><br /> <a href="http://www.occupy.com/sites/default/files/medialibrary/RTA_Tesoro_Banner.jpg" rel="nofollow"><img alt="tar sands, tar sands bikeride, carbon emissions, bitumen, The Road to Athabasca, Trans Mountain Pipeline" height="232" src="http://www.occupy.com/sites/default/files/medialibrary/RTA_Tesoro_Banner.jpg" title="tar sands, tar sands bikeride, carbon emissions, bitumen, The Road to Athabasca, Trans Mountain Pipeline" width="640" /></a></div> </div> <div> <div> <div> <div> <div> <div> <div> Through discovery of place, through story, and through personal connection with people along the way, we are journeying 1,100 miles to the tar sands of Alberta – and are asking for your support in our venture.</div> </div> <div> <div> "I tell you what, I wish instead of spending so much money on [incarcerating people], they'd come fill some of these crater holes behind my house."</div> </div> <div> <div> Dozens of kayaktivists took to the water to block Shell's Fennica ice breaker from leaving port, while a group of 13 climbers rappelled off a bridge in Portland, Oregon, with enough supplies to last days if needed.</div> </div> <div> <div> Prosecutors said officer Ray Tensing “purposely killed” 43-year-old Samuel DuBose, an unarmed black man who was pulled over for a missing front license plate.</div> </div> <div> <div> “This is the first time fracking activists have got together on this scale internationally – from Kurdistan to Brazil, from Ukraine to Portugal and Algeria," says Catriona of Ireland, who attended the recent Frackanpada.</div> </div> </div> <div> <div> <div> <div> "The system is largely gamed, broken and corrupted by money, influence peddling and a revolving door."</div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div>

Germany Just Got 78 Percent Of Its Electricity From Renewable Sources

<div readability="33"> <a href="http://cdn10.trueactivist.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/renewable.jpg"><img alt="renewable" class="wp-image-36838 size-full" height="416" src="http://cdn10.trueactivist.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/renewable.jpg" width="640" /></a> <br /> Image: Jürgen from Sandesneben, Germany – Flickr</div> <hr /> On July 25th, Germany set a new record for renewable energy by meeting 78% of the day’s electricity requirements from renewables, exceeding the previous record of 74% set in May 2014.  This is a huge achievement and proves that renewable energy is the answer to our future energy needs.  According to the federal Energy Information Administration, the U.S. only gets around 10% of its electricity from renewable sources.<br /> We’ve also recently <a href="http://www.trueactivist.com/denmark-just-produced-140-of-its-electricity-needs-via-wind-power/">reported that Denmark</a> found itself producing 140% of its national electricity needs from wind turbines.<br /> <a href="http://thinkprogress.org/climate/2015/07/29/3685555/germany-sets-new-renewable-energy-record/" target="_blank">Thinkprogress.org</a> reported:<br /> <blockquote readability="20.519083969466"> According to an <a href="http://energytransition.de/2015/07/renewables-covered-78percent-of-german-electricity/">analysis</a> by German energy expert Craig Morris at the Energiewende blog, a stormy day across northern Europe combined with sunny conditions in southern Germany led to the new record, the exact figures of which are still preliminary. Morris writes that most of Germany’s wind turbines are installed in the north and most of its solar panels are in the south.<br /> If the figures hold, it will turn out that wind and solar generated 40.65 gigawatts (GW) of power on July 25. When this is combined with other forms of renewables, including 4.85 GW from biomass and 2.4 GW from hydropower, the total reaches 47.9 GW of renewable power — occurring at a time when peak power demand was 61.1 GW on Saturday afternoon. To bolster his analysis, Morris points to <a href="https://twitter.com/PhilippLitz/status/625576425534439424">early figures</a> from Agora Energiewende, a Germany energy policy firm, that have renewables making up 79 percent of domestic power consumption that day.</blockquote> It was due to an unusual weather pattern that brought heavy winds where most of the nation’s wind turbines are located. As these turbines generated more power, utilities ramped down coal- and gas-fired power plants. This just proves that yet again that renewable energy has the potential to replace our old ways of generating energy rapidly.

The CIA estimated the militant group’s membership last year to be in a range between 20,000 and 31,500.<br /> The membership estimates remain about the same this year, according to USA Today — meaning the Islamic State has been able to successfully replace its fallen fighters.<br /> Due to the airstrikes, the Islamic State has been forced to disperse into smaller groups, making them less likely to seize large territories.

The pastors, due to tensions between the two nations, were accused of being spies and are now face a death sentence by South Sudan. Here is the report:<br /> <blockquote> The lawyers representing the two South Sudanese pastors facing the death penalty made their closing arguments on July 23 in Khartoum before a judge who, sources said, appeared to be favouring the prosecution, according to Christian News.<br /> A verdict is expected at a hearing on Aug. 5.<br /> Speaking before the judge at the Khartoum Bari Court, the defence lawyers of Yat Michael and Peter Yein Reith maintained that agents of the National Intelligence and Security Services (NISS) illegally apprehended 49-year-old Michael on Dec. 14 last year and 36-year-old Reith on Jan. 11.<br /> “Justice requires that you don’t judge [arrest] simply because you doubt [suspect] them without any concrete evidence,” one of the lawyers said.<br /> Michael was arrested by authorities after he delivered a message of encouragement to a North Khartoum church amid a looming state-aided takeover of the congregation’s property.<br /> Reith was taken by security agents after he submitted a letter from the leaders of the South Sudan Presbyterian Evangelical Church which requested for information on the whereabouts of Michael.<br /> A national intelligence agent accused the two of gathering information for a human rights group.<br /> However, the charges, which include espionage and promotion of hatred against or among sects, were created months after their arrest.<br /> Spying under the Sudanese Penal Code is punishable by death while inciting hatred is punishable by up to two years in jail.<br /> “The judge in the last hearing seemed to be supporting the prosecution,” said the source who asked not to be named. “The whole issue is politically motivated, and the two pastors are innocent, but the lawyers asked the judge to respect laws and the constitution and not aid NISS in violation of the Constitution.”<br /> The pastors are also accused of undermining the constitutional system—which is punishable by death—life imprisonment, and confiscation of property.<br /> Disclosure and obtaining information and official documents is punishable by a year in prison while blasphemy or insulting religious creeds is punishable also by a year in jail or a fine or a maximum of 40 lashes.<br /> The national intelligence agency used as evidence maps and easily accessible documents said to have been taken from the pastors’ confiscated laptops.<br /> A NISS study guide, which the pastors said was not in their computers before their arrest, was also presented as evidence.</blockquote> </div>

Her family say that she was taken by her Muslim landlord – Muhammed Nazir – who’s brother promised at the time that Sadiq would be returned shortly.<br /> However, after returning for their daughter on July 24, they were told that Sadiq had converted to Islam and was now the property of Nazir, whom she had married.<br /> An officer for the British Pakistani Christian Association (BPCA), has met the family and they will now be moved to a safe house. They say police are refusing to register the incident.<br /> “My sister has been missing for five days and police are refusing to register an FIR [First Incident Report], my heart is broken,” Sadiq’s sister, Iqra, said.<br /> “Our landlord is a cruel man and we have been starving since he stopped the little payment that was due to us. We have no power and have to face such injustice.”</blockquote> This is the type of evil that we at Rescue Christians are fighting against every day. We have rescued many women who have been raped and kidnapped to be sex slaves. One of the most tragic examples was that of Tania Rebecca, a young Christian girl who was kidnapped and sexually tortured for many days.

And I ask you to expand God’s love today; let your light shine forth before men so that they may worship their Father in Heaven. Please help us rescue more Christians in Pakistan.</div>
