Poster Girl for all the troops

Not our boys, but heroes true.
‘Cause I shook hands with a Digger

on the wrong side of the world.
With a wife at home who holds her breath
And brand new baby girl.
And the Digger fights for freedom
In a job that must be done
And I let go of his hand
So proud to be Australian."

‘Cause I shook hands with a Digger

on the wrong side of the world.

With a wife at home who holds her breath

And brand new baby girl.

And the Digger fights for freedom

In a job that must be done

And I let go of his hand

So proud to be Australian.

Pure racism!-----Green Energy's Dirty Secret: Its Hunger for African Resources

Green Energy's Dirty Secret: Its Hunger for African Resources

• The scramble for battery metals threatens to replicate one of the most destructive dynamics in global economic history.

"In June, the European Parliament voted to effectively outlaw the sale of new cars using gasoline or diesel by 2035...and hasten the global transformation of the entire automotive industry to battery technology.

What the parliamentarians didn’t mention: 

The world cannot mine and refine the vast amounts of minerals that go into batteries—lithium, nickel, cobalt, manganese, palladium, and others—at anywhere close to the scale for this rapid transition to electric vehicles (EVs) to occur. 

• The dirty secret of the green revolution is its insatiable hunger for resources from Africa and elsewhere that are produced using some of the world’s dirtiest technologies. 
• What’s more, the accelerated shift to batteries now threatens to replicate one of the most destructive dynamics in global economic history: the systematic extraction of raw commodities from the global south in a way that made developed countries unimaginably rich while leaving a trail of environmental degradation, human rights violations, and semipermanent underdevelopment all across the developing world..."

Obama's Enemies List Grows

Obama's Enemies List Grows
"Just having the appearance of someone who might possibly vote for an opponent of Barack Obama could land them on the President's enemies list where proxies do the dirty work. Political appointees in the Justice Department killed a six-month investigation by career DOJ lawyers into the most blatant voter intimidation case in 40 years. Last November, jack-booted, uniformed, baton-wielding thugs from the New Black Panther Party calling themselves 'security' obstructed a Philadelphia polling location and behaved in an intimidating manner toward white voters.

Days after dismissing charges against the menacing thugs, the Justice Department moved in the opposite direction by blocking responsible steps to stem voter fraud. The DOJ barred the administrative procedures Georgia authorities put into place – under federal court guidance -- to verify voter registrations. The DOJ claimed the procedures violated the rights of minority voters.
A de facto Obama enemies list and dirty political machine have been expanding since last year. Obama has established several embarrassing presidential firsts including targeting private individuals by names, assigning a well-known 'partisan dirt-digger' and non-lawyer to the White House Counsel's Office to likely gain access to Bush Administration documents protected under attorney-client privilege, and moving the senior political advisor into the West Wing. These are heretofore unseen partisan practices."

The Work Ethic and U.S. Unemployment

Articles: The Work Ethic and U.S. Unemployment
Quality does not mean technical skills acquired in college classrooms or what is learned on the job.
It refers to basic dispositions required for every job, from ditch-digger to neurosurgeon -- even for sports, --and summarized by the term "work ethic."
Absent these, all the billions in educational spending or tax cuts are pointless.
Here's the discouraging point: in today's social climate, imparting a solid work ethic in those who lack it is exceedingly difficult -- and in some cases, impossible.
