Thousands of protesters gathered on Saturday in Berlin and Cologne to demand bolder measures to combat climate change. Some 36,000 people joined the rallies.

Organizers said the protest aimed to pressure the government into ending Germany's reliance on coal for its energy needs and instead looking to renewable energies, such as solar energy and wind power.

"The point is that Germany must phase out coal by 2030," Jennifer Morgan, who leads Greenpeace International, told the Agence France-Presse news agency.

"What happens in high-tech Germany, how quickly the climate-damaging combustion of coal is replaced by solar energy and wind power, is very important, also for other countries."

Greenpeace activists climbed a 180-metre chimney at a power station in Belchatow, central Poland, on Tuesday to protest Warsaw's coal policies ahead of UN climate talks this month.

The state-run plant is Poland's biggest power producer, Europe's largest polluter and one of the biggest coal power plants in the world. Nine activists climbed an internal ladder to the top of the conical chimney at the plant, which is fuelled by lignite and belongs to PGE.

"I am from a mining family, we have been connected to coal mining for generations. There is no future in coal. What we need is a just transition from coal and fossil fuels to renewables," Marek Jozefiak, an activist climbing the chimney said.

The End of Science: What are they doing at CERN and Why does it not have any value? They say they Found "The God Particle" but No One Cares.

BOOK: "Facing The End of Science." Physicists and others confront science’s limits. Quote: “Scientists, having inherited answers to most of nature’s big questions, are now constrained either to study increasingly insignificant details or to play with abstractions increasingly unlikely to be tested.” That reminds me of: Charles H. Duell was the Commissioner of US patent office in 1899. Mr. Deull's most famous attributed utterance is that "everything that can be invented has been invented." Most patent attorneys have also heard that the quote is apocryphal. ( a story or statement of doubtful authenticity, although widely circulated as being true.) https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/cross-check/facing-the-end-of-science/

Ray McGovern is a former [Is anyone EVER former?] CIA Analyst who worked for the Agency for 27 years, spanning the terms of seven presidencies. As an analyst on foreign policy, McGovern was in charge of the daily briefings for senior White House officials. McGovern has just returned this week from a visit to Edward Snowden in Russia, delivering to him the Sam Adams Corner-Brighteneer Candlestick Holder Award, in recognition of his courage in shining light on the NSA. McGovern is well known for his attacks on what he sees as corruption in the CIA. He sees the damage done to the faith in intelligence work as profound, believing it will take years to correct. He hopes to see the CIA become again an entity independent from political administration. Since retiring, McGovern has become a constant presence on the national stage as an activist and renowned expert on the inner workings of American Empire.

Review by 

Adam Coleman

This is a guy that you can count on to always tell the truth. There is sometimes a feeling I get that he may at times know more about a particular issue than he reveals but I feel this is only because of the line he is unable and unwilling to cross with his former intelligence agency oath and which I cannot blame him. His integrity and Patriotism to both his country and his former agency remain unblemished. A true Patriot of what remains of our Republic. Great two hour lecture and I strongly urge anyone who cares about where we are headed as a nation to watch both hours.﻿

REOPEN THE GOVERNMENT - ZERO Money for tRUMP's Wall - We the People REJECT tRUMP and ALL his PUPPETS...

Please Email Your Senators: https://www.senate.gov/general/contacting.htm Tell them what you think or they will not know your opinion...

No Money for Trump's WALL
Plenty Money for Pink Floyd's Wall

Legalize Marijuana Nationwide. Tax it, Use the Money on MEDICARE FOR ALL. Release All The Cannabis Prisoners. EVERYBODY WINS!

We Would Increase VOLUNTARY Taxes and Decrease Government Spending AT THE SAME TIME. I wouldn't Pay a Penny on the New Taxes Because I Don't Smoke it. Let the Reefer Puffers Pay...

Obviously, The "War on Drugs" has been a Failure. When you Make a MISSTEAK Do Not REPEET the AIR-ROAR... In States with Legal Marijuana, Death from Opioid Overdose is Less. The Lives You Save Could Be Members of Your Own Family. AND... Legalize Medicinal Psychedelics. Let Doctors and Patients decide what drugs are best for their own treatment.

Medicare for All will COST LESS MONEY because we won't have to pay for Profits and Corporate Executive's Giant Salaries. We have seen that In Canada, people live longer and pay less. (and Australia, Great Britain, Norway, Sweden etc etc etc)

Impeach Donald Trump; CRIMINAL. He has Caused Vast Environmental Damage. Legalizing Air Pollution and Water Pollution... Drilling for Oil in National Land... Increasing Coal Mining leading to MORE Global Warming... Crippling the Endangered Species ACT. Pure Evil.

We Ought to End the War in Afghanistan. Bring the Soldiers Home. We Would Save a VAST amount of Money Currently Wasted on a Pointless Unwinnable War. Bring the Helicopters and Airplanes Home too. We Could use them FIGHTING WILDFIRES Out West.

We Should Teach "Critical Thinking" in High School. Knowing when someone is lying to you is a valuable survival skill. Especially When Republicriminals are LYING EVERY DAY.

We Should Build a Solar Power/Desalinization Factory. It Would Convert Sea Water into Pure Drinking Water, Salt and Electricity ALL AT THE SAME TIME. Simply focus sunlight onto a black pipe to boil seawater producing steam. Use the steam to spin a turbine creating electricity. We could build a freshwater factory at USMC Camp Pendleton to Supply Water to Los Angeles and San Diego... The Technology Is NOT Difficult but the FUNDING is Missing. ALSO USEFUL FOR CLEANING FRACKING WASTEWATER...

I saw an Inspirational Speech by Bernie Sanders on Democracy Now! TV Show. The Ideas he proposed Three Years ago were RADICAL but NOW they are Mainstream.

https://www.sandersinstitute.com/

Medicare for All, $15.00 Minimum Wage, Legalize Marijuana and FREE the Cannabis Prisoners... Reduce Spending for War (Like our helping to bomb YEMEN) and The Rich should Pay Their Fair Share in Taxes...

KOSTOLAC, Serbia — A foul smell permeates the air in this gray mining town. People rarely open their windows as thick smoke billows from the huge chimneys of Serbia’s main coal-fired power station.

Things are only getting worse for residents living close to the Kostolac power plant complex in eastern Serbia, which is being expanded with a $715 million loan from a Chinese state bank and constructed by one of China’s largest companies.

Climate change: Australian students skip school for mass protest.

Thousands of Australian school students have urged greater action on climate change in protests across the country.

The students skipped school on Friday to highlight what they say are inadequate climate policies by the Australian government.

On Monday, Australian PM Scott Morrison rebuked their plans for "activism" during school hours and insisted his government was tackling climate change.

Many students said his remarks had bolstered their resolve to protest.

"We will be the ones suffering the consequences of the decisions they [politicians] make today," protester Jagveer Singh, 17, told the BBC.

Organisers say they were inspired by Greta Thunberg, a 15-year-old girl in Sweden who has undertaken similar protests.

What is the opposite of hate?

As a progressive commentator on Fox News and now CNN, Sally Kohn has made a career out of bridging intractable political differences and learning how to talk respectfully with people whose views she disagrees with passionately. Her viral TED Talk on the need to practice emotional—rather than political—correctness sparked a new way of considering how often we amplify our differences and diminish our connections.

But these days even famously “nice” Kohn finds herself wanting to breathe fire at her enemies. It was time, she decided, to look into the epidemic of hate all around us and learn how we can stop it. In The Opposite of Hate, Kohn talks to leading scientists and researchers and investigates the evolutionary and cultural roots of hate and how incivility can be a gateway to much worse. She travels to Rwanda, the Middle East, and across the United States, introducing us to former terrorists and white supremacists, and even some of her own Twitter trolls, drawing surprising lessons from dramatic and inspiring stories of those who left hate behind.

As Kohn confronts her own shameful moments, whether it was back when she bullied a classmate or today when she harbors deep partisan resentment, she discovers, “The opposite of hate is the beautiful and powerful reality of how we are all fundamentally linked and equal as human beings. The opposite of hate is connection.”

Sally Kohn’s engaging, fascinating, and often funny book will open your eyes and your heart.

I wonder WHY Christianity is So Unpopular? ONE out of SEVEN people Worldwide are followers of Jesus. A Billion Muslims, A Billion Hindus, A Billion Chinese, A Billion Africans, A Billion Buddhists... Confucius Say: We Reject Your Book.

Jesus is VERY Popular in Mexico and Central America. The Catholic Religion denies Birth Control to the Faithful. Starving Babies is one reason Immigrants want to leave there and come here... They Simply BREED More than They Can FEED.

I challenge that whole "Forgiveness" thing. Makes Jesus a Perfect God for the Mafia. Kill Someone, ask for forgiveness, Kill Someone, Ask For Forgiveness, Sell Heroin to School Children, Ask For Forgiveness... Hey, Don't Worry... The ONLY Requirement To Go To Heaven is to Accept Jesus Christ as Your Savior. No Mention of DOING EVIL WHILE ALIVE... That's Forgiven... Hey, We All Sin... Even Child Molesting Catholic Priests SIN... They are GUARANTEED a Seat At The Right Hand of God When they Die.

No wonder Christianity is REJECTED WORLDWIDE.

“Will the new House Democrats

take on the war lobby?”

This question is the headline of a Common Dreams op-ed by Medea Benjamin and Nicolas J. S. Davies earlier this week, and it touches the furious heart of who we are. I would put it this way: As long as 60 percent or so of our discretionary spending is diverted to militarism; as long as there is no official acknowledgment of the horrific and pointless hell our wars have created, with no benefits even to our “national interests”; as long as we refuse to face our own history of genocidal behavior and our addiction to “conquest” . . . we will not change, we will not grow, we will not survive.
