It is not difficult to understand that the ceos and the cfos and all those who have made it their lives work to promote the fossil fuel industry as the fundamental component of the global energy equation - they will not let go of all they have built.

They will not. They will not relinquish their status or their position - much less the wealth that their position generates.

They will die first.

The very same thing may be said of all of those who have with tremendous patience hijacked our economy and subverted our political and our judicial systems of government. They will not let go of all they have worked so hard for so long with such patience to create. They will not.

They will die first.

This is a fact with which we must absolutely come to grips.

Those who have slaved for so long and so hard and sacrificed so much will not see all that they have built taken away. Not now. Not ever. Not for any reason.

They will die first.

We must come to understand this very simple and self evident fact.

We must come to understand this very simple and self evident fact, and then we must decide how we will act.

We must come to understand this very simple and self evident fact, and then we must decide

that we must act.

If only - but they are the current deadly plague that is killing all life on the planet. Unfortunately it seems that there is no cure and while the plague carriers will eventually die - more just seem to keep popping up to take their place.

Tis truly sad. They are in the best position to make a speedy transition and continue with reaping their wealth ( the greedy bastards ) and yet they are fighting tooth and nail to use the very last drop of fossil fuel - and then what? - if they survive that suicidal stance/program - they will still need to transition anyway.

Hansen was clear in 2012 It's Game Over if Canada exploits the tar sands.

Yep - suicidal stance - the insane assholes.

Where are the modern day miracles? - "news flash" - " every single wealthy asshole in the world dies in their sleep overnight " - "news flash" - " astonishing as it sounds authorities are stating cause of death as severe methane poisoning from their own flatulence "

Careful careful ( note to self ) no doubt there are quite a few real believers living (?) in the Bible Belt. One obvious problem I have with it all ( kinda stands out like a smashed thumb ) - what about all of the bodies? I mean aren't people supposed to just disappear? Huh . . . a new interpretation?

Drinkin' coffee and petting cats.....so far......:)

Glad you're feeling better.

Getting a double dose of "c"? Hah ha - kidding - fresh hot vitamin "c" - one caffeine and one living purr-pet-ual engine.

Commercials say that they are heart smart. Hhmmmm - that makes me uneasy - - - commercials.

It's a cheap & easy breakfast, I have full blown nacho's planned for later.

Did you know they chased off GF in during your hiatus?

[-] 4 points by DKAtoday (33802) from Coon Rapids, MN 9 years ago

I noticed she left - but I doubt that she got chased away - not by those pathetic bunch of forum attacking losers - no way.

It's a cheap & easy breakfast

OH SHIT - "cheap & easy" - now I am seriously uneasy!

A good reply to a bald faced lie DKAt !!! You show more wisdom and intuition than GF and her enablers did sadly !! She tried to become a bit of a propagandist for Israel which is fine - but she could not handle it when her forum-posts and comments were either contested or ignored !

I did take her on, on her ''Mandela Legislator'' & ''Jerusalem's Missing Voters'' threads but look up at her forum-posts from that point to see what I'm saying here. She bullied and was ''100% aggressive'' to long established posters such as bw, elf, Middleaged, Renneye, Underdog amongst others on this and other matters and was not shy about swearing and bullying despite her own intelligence and wit.

Like a lot of bullies she didn't like anyone standing up to her. I'm sad she's gone for reasons of the agon if nothing else but she was NOT ''chased off'' (as you yourself intuit) and that lie can NOT be allowed to stand unchallenged here for The Standing Record and I hope that she comes back.

Also fyi DKAt two very recommended videos ; the first one short and self-explanatory and the second much longer and on many important matters but if you don't have time or energy for the whole thing, please see for 5 minutes from minute 23 of the 2nd or 3rd links below :

I really recommend these to you & thanx for the solidarity on my unreasonably and capriciously banned forum-post : https://occupywallst.org/forum/what-the-1-dont-want-you-to-know-by-bill-moyers-a-/ ...~*~...

Right but ''fanatics'' are more often 'conservative' than not DKAt !!! So called 'moderates' subscribe to all sorts of extreme positions !! All is not as it seems and to resist and struggle for The 99% needs love, light, logic and some level of tenacity, perseverance and a degree of belligerence if need be !

I reply above, both in response to your linked comment and your recent forum-post here :

Any thoughts about those videos above D ? I again recommend Thom Hartmann @ 23-28m in 2nd link.

the cats lap up the left over cheerio's infused milk, and they're still doing OK

For now..................................:)

she was attacked for her beliefs about Israel.

The place is still echoing.

[-] 2 points by DKAtoday (33802) from Coon Rapids, MN 9 years ago

shooz!?!?!!! you aren't using the cats as a kind of mining canary are you?

Ah Israel - another never ending source of division/contention.

[-] -2 points by shoozTroll (17632) 9 years ago

It does tend to get people stirred up.

Just don't mention sharia in other parts of the World.

I got attacked for that.

So much - so very much death/killing due to fanatics of one stripe or another. Sad so very very sad.

That it is.

Should I mention the racism involved in all those chemical spills?

http://thinkprogress.org/climate/2014/05/02/3433529/poor-black-latino-chemical-spills/

I wonder what part of DC those oil trains will be traveling through?

my guess would be nowhere near ANY of those tony town houses.

Hhmmmmm the insane assholes might see it as an ideal way to clear-out the slums around the capitol - a few accidents - fires running somewhat out of control - rebuild/relocate elsewhere due to remaining toxins.........

This kind of . . . urban renewal . . .. is not at all unheard of - and these distractions could prove quite suited to campaigns of assassination.

↥twinkle ↧stinkle permalink

Brings to mind New York as well as other large cities = crumbling infrastructure - too expensive to rebuild/refurbish/renovate = mass condemned properties/neighborhoods = mass movement of people = walla - revitalized business properties........ oh and ever rising rents elsewhere/everywhere.

Everything we build today is temporary.

↥twinkle ↧stinkle permalink

Edit -> determinedly designed for rapid expiration. And in an ever growing unhealthy manner.

Yep - really makes one wonder how building for duration/longevity/adaptability ever happened at any point in history!

[-] 0 points by shoozTroll (17632) 9 years ago

All of those were the result of incompetence.

Although, if it could be proven that it was done for the purpose of pipeline promotion, it could be prosecuted under collusion laws as well as terrorism laws.

now that would an expose.
