In The News: H/t to ChrisM my MP3Angel for supplying the audio files.
[Before the Commentary, a Public Service Announcement... After the commentary, a special report... from our affiliate in Anytown USA] «o»There's a environment conference in South Africa this week and the report they're going to view indicates that 2010 was tied for the 'tenth hottest year since 1852' and ten of those record breakers have occurred in the last fifteen years. Also at that conference Canada will announce it's pulling out of the 1997 Kyoto Protocol which has been accused of unfairly targeting third world nations in regard to their 'contribution' to global warming. More.
«o»Congress is back in session and the topic will be payroll and withholding tax breaks, the unemployment benefit extension due to run out the first of the year, PLUS another national debt limit increase.
«o»Herman Cain, Republican presidential hopeful, now has a sixth woman in his negative publicity life who claims she had an thirteen year ongoing jet-set affair with him... and she has documents. Cain is reconsidering his presidential run even as yours truly types this.
«o»al-Shabab, the real government in Somalia, has just kicked sixteen international aid agencies out of the country. There is a drought and famine occurring currently, but the question is... Do those agencies even help? Or are they just write-off vehicles for first world companies and a steady salary for the people who work for the agencies?
To wit... Consider that Western "Assistance" is handled like this...
Contractors And Others Steal Half Of Food Aid To Somalia
"New York - At least half of the World Food Programme's food supplies to Somalia's needy people has been diverted by unscrupulous contractors, radical Islamist militants and even UN staff in the country, the New York Times reported Wednesday.
The Times said an unpublished report by the UN Security Council would recommend that UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon launch an investigation into WFP's operations in Somalia considering the severity of the food aid diversion."
In case you need a catch-up on 'corruption' there's a whole other piece Auntie Imperial posted, including a discussion of "Why DO Somalia and other African nations NEED "food aid" in the first place?" Here.
In OTHER News:
Gleaned from Congressional Quarterly "Behind The Lines" Homeland Insecurity Newsletter because I just thought you might like to know:
"Out of 72 DHS intel fusion centers in the United States, three are sited in Ohio".
It's notable that the main one, "The Strategic Analysis and Information Center" is located in Columbus’ Bureau of Motor Vehicles. More here.
