REPORT: Al Gore Shoots Down Lewinsky Box Invite
http://freebeacon.com/blog/al-gore-lewinsky-clinton/
PARIS — THE turquoise tranquillity of the Côte d’Azur was rocked a couple of times during the Cannes Lions Festival, the advertising world’s rosé-soaked answer to the Cannes Film Festival.
Al Gore snubbed Monica Lewinsky. Lewinsky, who was giving a speech for Ogilvy & Mather about how she became “patient zero” in the cyberbullying epidemic, was slated to sit in a V.I.P. box with the former vice president, who got an award for being a good brand.
But her invite got yanked.
The snubbing, Dowd writes, was “a reminder that Gore’s prissy attitude” toward the Lewinsky scandal, and his reluctance to feature Bill Clinton on the campaign trail in 2000, might have cost him the election.
Dowd also takes issue with the notion that Lewinsky was the first victim of “cyberbullying,” as such.
Monica’s main bullies were not of the cyber variety. The Internet was just getting up and running. Her chief bullies were flesh and blood, a raffish president and feminist first lady who are now vying to be a feminist president and raffish first lad. They’re the ones who tried to paint her as a “narcissistic looney toon,” as Hillary put it to her friend Diane Blair.
Sidney Blumenthal, Hillary’s Doberman and email correspondent, led the sliming of Monica as a fantasist and stalker. Hillary’s friends do not regard Monica as a victim, but a predator. They think she let herself in for trouble when she took up with a married president who was a magnet for right-wing bullies.
Blair’s “looney toon” comments were first reported by the Free Beacon.
Bill Clinton was a featured speaker at the Cannes Liones Festival. It is not known whether the former president had any interaction with Lewinsky during the event. He did, however, manage to squeeze in a taxpayer-financed shopping spree at French luxury retailer Hermès, an outlet that is currently under fire from animal rights groups for torturing adorable creatures in the name of fashion.

Well they got all these ads with little kids going into the Forrest with cutzy deer etc. which means of course . Gov has a plan. Most likely a land grab.
I am probably getting it wrong as usual, but if I remember the orginal "I am charlie" event, there was an issue in certain circles because Obama did not get on a plane and walk arm in arm in open air parade with other world leaders about 3 days after the event. In an open air plaza. In France.
SS maybe be wheels up, rings off when it comes to their personal vices, but those pensions wont roll out if they get involved in (accept) some under engineered ass-grabbery. US-SOS was there Jon Kerry. Is that not enough? He has swift seaboat legs.

USAID, the UK’s DFID and the World Bank are among those covering up for severe human rights abuses against indigenous peoples in Ethiopia’s Omo Valley, inflicted during forced evictions to make way for huge plantations, writes Will Hurd. Their complicity in these crimes appears to be rooted in US and UK partnership with Ethiopia in the ‘war on terror’.
In the fall of 2012 my cell phone rang. It was an official from Department for International Development, DFID – the UK government aid agency. He implored me to remove his name from a transcript of an audio recordingI’d translated. He worried he might lose his job, which would hurt his family... What struck me about the phone conversation with the DFID official was how much concern he had for his own livelihood and family, and how little concern he and DFID were showing for the hundreds, or even thousands, of families in the Omo Valley.
I acted on his request and left him unnamed.
...Many more Bodi and Mursi have been imprisoned since the plantations started. Some were imprisoned after disagreeing with plantation and resettlement plans in meetings. Bodi cultivation sites and Mursi grain stores were bulldozed against their wishes.
Bodi have been in armed conflict with the police and military about the plantations. The Bodi were forbidden by the government to plant at the Omo River and told to move into the resettlement sites. When food aid didn’t arrive they went to plant against government wishes.
The Mursi were told by government officials that if they didn’t sell off their cattle, the cattle would be injected with poison. This caused the Mursi in the north to leave their best cultivation land on the Omo River and in the grasslands in order to protect their cattle. They’ve lost three annual harvests so far as a result.
Thousands of acres of Bodi territory were taken for the plantations and the Bodi ended up with small plots of land with no shade. When the Bodi left these plots, the government took them back for sugarcane. The DAG missed all of this. When are the DAG aid agencies going to start aiding the people of the Omo Valley, and Gambella, instead of participating in their demise?
Ethiopia has the right, and need, to develop its economy and industries, but impoverishing some of its most vulnerable people in the process is counterproductive.
The Mursi and Bodi have been trying to implement the Mursi-Bodi Community Conservation Area. This would capitalize on the already abundant tourism and wildlife in the area, in conjunction with Omo and Mago National Parks. If the government were to approve this, and let it be fully implemented, it may provide benefits for both local people and state.

I found the strategic plan for this Mursi-Bodi landgrab in the trash I was emptying at the Monsanto HQ.
poor cecil. i mourn this beast not only because he was named for mr. rhodes (of rhodesian fame), but also because he was top-dog in a world of big cats. but that's about as far as it goes. this dentist-stalking madness is absurd. while i don't support lion-hunting, for modern society to call for the blood of a big-game hunter in recompense for that of a wild beast is, to me, preposterous. but it's got me thinking...
it's amusing to see the news-trope machine rev into action -- all at once, and all of a single accord, we're hearing how 'the donald' has teflon-like qualities. excuse me? (as 'the donald' would say). you say he's gotten away with murder because he's staked out a position from which he can disagree with the establishment on those things they've decreed as sacrosanct. basically, 'the donald' (TM) is saying that some of you are right on this, others of you are right on that, but, listen up, here's where you're both wrong. and that's supposed to make him anathema? no wonder the establishment has lost the people's attention...for all of media is but an echo-chamber, each baying back to each, repeating the things they're told to bark, pretending they can continue defining the debate's parameters, and for it they're everyday increasingly ignored...and they're basically irrelevant at this point.
speaking of getting away with 'murder', i'll return to the subject that's got me thinking. there is in this race a candidate with teflonic powers so slick a treble-hook would slide right over its slimy scales. there is in this race a candidate associated with all manner of malfeasance..and it don't matter if it's shady real estate deals, bank fraud, securities fraud, the nation's largest ever drug running operation, and even very serious murder accusations, dead ambassadors...you name it...so long as that unnamed candidate barks the establishment's tropes with the enthusiasm of a drunk lesbian at a hooters grand opening, hardly a peep is raised. nothing sticks to this candidate. nothing...that is, until now.
if you want coax-out the people's indignation -- and let's say you want it stoked to a white-hot fury -- you're gonna need some cute animal cascaras, a lot of blood and some video evidence to back it up. evidence of felonies and treason just don't cut it anymore. fortunately, i've got the goods on this candidate -- and at the end of this piece i'll give amorica a glimpse of what this candidate does for recreation to prove it.
WARNING!!! the following contains graphic descriptions involving the mutilation of some of nature's cutest creatures
everybody loves baby-seals...so cute, so much emotion alive in their scrunched up and bewhiskered little faces. these lil weiners of the sea are so cuddly it is but rhetorical to ask, 'who would want to hurt such a thing?' janus knows who; and he's got HD quality footage of this candidate charging onto the rocky shores of some remote island in the southern atlantic, plunging head-long into the briny mist, mace-like baton in hand, savage aspect of wild fury animating her face, and then whacking away at a helpless swarm of pudgy, squirming and squealing baby seals. and if that's not enough, i've got a freezer full of baby seal carcasses in the downstairs freezer -- you know, something to make the audience gasp when i lay them out at the congressional hearings. i predict it will be the most watched c-span clip of all time.
and if that doesn't get the people lathered up into a hissy-fit of approbation, i've got several out-takes from her days as a koala fighter. koala fighting is all the rage among the elite; and, if you think about it, it makes a lot of sense. for you see, when a person isn't prohibited from anything, they start to ask themselves, 'if i could do 'anything', what would it be?' tragically, for many among this world's elite, the answer is almost invariably "koala fighting". essentially, koala fighting involves the long term abuse of nature's cutest eucalyptus munchers until they are transformed into merciless killing machines. in anticipation of the fights, the koalas are fed a steady diet of LSD, PCP, mescaline, methamphedamine and taco bell...and when they've reached a pique of irritability, they're let loose in a steel cage, until only one emerges victorious. and i've got a clip of this candidate sharing a joint of 'weaponized marijuana' with the winner, along with a freezer full of koala carcasses ready for those hearing.
in yet another series of videos we can see the candidate participating in something so vile it would make the sickest of african despots blanch. you guys remember the bean-bag toss? well, once you've really made it in this world, you advance to a game this rather innocent contest is only meant to foreshadow. yes, you guessed it, pomerianian-tossing is what this world's power-brokers do every spring on a special island off the coast of lesbos, along the hellenic archpeligo. in it, we can clearly see the candidate hurling a dozen or so pomeranians across the rocky shores of this secret island. and although this candidate is handy with a baby-seal club, she throws like a girl...it's pathetic -- i don't think she cleared ten meters with any of those precious lil pomeranians. and so, none of them die on impact...all of them are bludgeoned by huma, who dutifully emerges from the shadows to whack the life outta the cutest of domesticated canines. does janus have a freezer full of dead pomeranians? you bet i do!
and, last but not least, we come to the clip i will share. this is but a glimpse of the horrors i have in store for amorica unless some shit starts stickin to this candidate. in this clip you will see yet another of this world's elite's favorite past-times. this is an horrendous psychological torture inflicted upon societies most vulnerable. they call it "peel that orange". in these sessions, the elite sit behind two-way mirrors and scare urban youth straight. it's racist, it's disgusting, it's an abomination...words won't do it justice, so i guess i'll just roll the clip...

"If I had a son, he would look like Cecil".
Why is it that the people who allowed (and promoted) Cecil as an "attraction" at the park are not being pilloried? How is it that apex predators (us) who have in fact the ability to reason did not see that getting Cecil used to people is probaby not a good thing?
Its a lot like the fucking yankees who come down here and feed alligators, its all city zoo type shit and Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom with Marlin Perkins until Jim Fowler gets his fucking arm bit off, then its a world wide crisis, kill the man eating gator!
I've got one thing to say to idiots who think real-life nature is a cartoon movie like the Lion King.
I hope they win the Darwin Award ;-)
I've dispatched a nuisance bear that was a big problem for city dwellers. Biologist live trapped it and relocated it to a rural area and released it. The bear then proceeded to terrorize the locals tearing up garbage cans, broke into a house, a barn and was in the process of getting ready to attack a dog tied on a run (with children nearby). My 30-06 took quick care of that problem.
Wild animals do not need to get used to humans especially apex predators.
Indeed, its always sound advice for predators (humans or otherwise) to understand their own place in the pecking order and observe the finer nuances of packs or units...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YC16eFqiqEs
...lest they end up prey themselves...lol.
I had a conversation with a NM game and fish biologist about bears once. I don't remember the details of the conversation, because it was probably a decade ago, but I do remember word for word what he said at the end of it: "A fed bear is a dead bear." The sad thing is that we need catchy little soundbytes like that to get some morons to understand that if you feed a bear, it starts to associate people with food, and then you start having human-bear interactions at a much higher rate. Bears have not been domesticated, are not always predictable, and thus feeding a bear raises the likleyhood that somebody will have to kill it.
So, indeed, a fed bear is a dead bear, but you can bet that there is some moron out there who doesn't understand that it is implicit that "fed" implies being fed by humans, and thinks that if the bear is eating, it will die. Or be killed. Or some bullshit.
Mrs.N had a good one the other night, she said we are being out bred by stupid people.
It doesn't matter if they're feeding squirrels in the park and get nipped on the end of their finger or aggressively petting a domesticated cat which gets all excited, turns on them and opens up their forearm down to the hand...they'll do it all over again & again, having learned absolutely nothing about animals.
Animals really don't care about things like intentions (good or bad) they are instinctive, they don't contemplate the mysteries of the universe or ask themselves what does man think of the universe we share with them, they simply exist in it with us.
Now, about this dickhead dentist.
I do see the delicious irony that he himself is now being "stalked" by idiots but Cecil's pride of course knows nothing of it and could care less and if those idiots really loved Cecil so much, they should go place wreaths before the new "Lion King" of that pride and explain their deep sadness and I'm not opposed to the dentist being one of the emissaries ;-)
LOL! On that note I'll have my first beer of the night.
I always like that first beer in the morning the best though while driving to work. I have a long commute so sometimes that turns into three beers; the sixteen ouncers. If you think I am kidding... I am not. They are just light beers anyway so who cares?
You guys are cracking me up. Lovey is out of town so I will, believe it or not, watch this wacky debate thing all cocked. Hopefully one of these turds will do what's right for 'murika...and toss a shoe at jeb bUsh.
BEAR EATS MAN!

Aww shit, I forgot about the debate. Fuck, and I am not even stoned yet but could use a cig.
Update: Aww, I am still good to become an informed Merican because the debate has not started yet. My bad.
Got one better.

WWF applauds Hillary Clinton's call to stop wildlife crime
http://wwf.panda.org/homepage.cfm?206664/WWF-applauds-Hillary-Clintons-c...
Washington DC – WWF applauds U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on her call to stop illicit wildlife trafficking, which she emphasized as a major foreign policy and security issue in a speech on Thursday.
“Over the past few years wildlife trafficking has become more organized, more lucrative, more widespread, and more dangerous than ever before,” Secretary Clinton said. “We are increasingly seeing wildlife trafficking has serious implications for the security and prosperity of people around the world.”
Clinton added that illicit wildlife trafficking is “is a global issue, and it calls, therefore, for a concerted global response.”
“This is a global challenge that spans continents and crosses oceans, and we need to address it with partnerships that are as robust and far-reaching as the criminal networks we seek to dismantle.”

The World Wresting Federation?
I've hated those bastards ever since they lured Hulk Hogan back away from Vern Gagne's AWA.
The Crusher, Baron von Rashke, Iron Sheik - those guys were REAL rasslers.
We had Chief Jay Strongbow, Ivan Putski and Andre The Giant.
Are you sure that's not the World Wrestling Foundation?
World Wrestling Federation (Former WWF) had to change its name to Worl Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) when World Wildlife Foundation WWF) sued them and won for use of "WWF" as the World Wildlife Foundation had existed longer, and been using "WWF" all along.
It used to be the redoubtable World Wrestling Federation, until the ecofreaks sued for sole use of the acronym.
Corporate land grabbers disguised as a charity bringing democracy. I shit you not. Why are there so many refugees on boats?

DDB Brazil's Cannes-entered Tsunami TV spothttp://adage.com/article/creativity-news/ddb-brazil-s-tsunami-ads-indust...
The run-it-once-to-win-an-ad-award strategy is a risky one.
If you needed proof, you already had plenty.
Here's more, in the form of the debacle surrounding DDB Brazil's "Tsunami" print ad and TV spot for the WWF. The client and agency apologized for the print ad and chalked it up to "inexperienced staff," and though DDB Brazil claims it had nothing to do with the spot, there's the uncomfortable matter of the Cannes Lions entry...
EDIT: The video in the above link is the only one left in existence. DDB/WWF had all except this one taken down.

Survival Finds WWF Complicit in Campaign of Terror Against Baka Peoplehttp://dgrnewsservice.org/2014/10/31/survival-finds-wwf-complicit-campai...
Survival International, the global movement for tribal peoples’ rights, has uncovered serious abuses of Baka “Pygmies” in southeast Cameroon, at the hands of anti-poaching squads supported and funded by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF).
The Baka are being illegally forced from their ancestral homelands in the name of “conservation” because much of their land has been turned into “protected areas” – including safari-hunting zones.
Rather than target the powerful individuals behind organized poaching, wildlife officers and soldiers pursue Baka who hunt only to feed their families.
Watch Baka recount the abuse they suffer at the hands of anti-poaching squads supported by WWF:

Ecoterrorism: threat or political ploy?http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/monkey-cage/wp/2014/12/19/ecoterrori...
In 2004, John Lewis, deputy assistant director of the FBI Counterterrorism Division, declared in testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee: “the FBI’s investigation of animal rights extremists and ecoterrorism matters is ourhighest domestic terrorism investigative priority.” To most Americans this statement, if it had been given serious attention by the U.S. media, would have come as a surprise. Having been bombarded with articles and public warnings about “jihadist terrorism” ever since 9/11, the average American would not have expected the primary domestic terrorist threat to come from groups such as the Animal Liberation Front (ALF) and Earth Liberation Front (ELF), which are largely unknown to the broader public. In fact, the statement would have likely stunned most academic scholars of political violence and terrorism, who until recently have devoted little attention to the phenomenon of “ecoterrorism.”
In a recent article in Studies in Conflict & Terrorism, we assessed the phenomenon of ecoterrorism, both in the United States and globally, by categorizing the types of the actions of the Radical Environmentalist and Animal Rights (REAR) movement, assessing their relative importance within the broader arsenal of actions of the whole movement, and evaluating them on the basis of a clear definition of ecoterrorism...
A recent publication shows that radical environmentalists and animal rights activists have been responsible for 1,069 criminal acts in the United States between 1970 and 2007 (see below). The authors categorize three actions as assassinations (0.3%), 44 as armed assaults (4.1%), 55 as bombings/explosions (5.1%), 933 as facility attacks (87.3%), 30 as unarmed assaults (2.8%) and four as unknown (0.4%).
