To say this to most of you is preaching to the choir. But please share with your "friends" who brag proudly about where they "bought" their puppy.

 

Most animals in shelters will be euthanized. Most of them were someone's pet, a family member, simply dumped or abandoned, many left at High Kill Shelters. By the time you read this, many will have been euthanized.

If you're considering a furry family members, please consider shelters and rescues first.

Ziva is a sweet, petite girl whose foster mom calls "perfect!" Her owners dumped her in a shelter at 10 yrs old, and simply said 'we don't want her anymore' and walked out. She has been tested with small and large dogs and cats, and done great so far. Stay tuned for more info on this beautiful young lady!

UPDATE DIXIE SAFE & DIXIE ADOPTED!

Ginger and Dixie are located in a facility that does not allow volunteers. They are in their cage all day long. They have to eat and sleep probably in their own urine and feces until their cage is cleaned. The only time they will be able to fully leave their cage when they are adopted, rescued, or killed. Ginger had a potential adopter yesterday, but we have not heard anything. That is so tragic if they did not come for her and now she has to spend the long weekend still at the pound.

Tokyo Electric Power Company Admits Fukushima Failures

Fukushima is the same design as Vermont Yankee and Plymouth's Pilgrim Nuclear, both operated by Entergy.

And the same age!

Tokyo Electric Power Company Admits Fukushima Failures by Richard Smallteacher, CorpWatch Blog August 28th, 2013

International nuclear experts visit Fukushima. Photo: International Atomic Energy Agency Imagebank. Used under Creative Commons license. Tokyo Electric Power Company (Tepco) is facing calls to be shut down for failing to properly manage the environmental catastrophe caused by the meltdown of three of the company’s nuclear reactors in Fukushima, Japan. The disaster was the result of a tsunami triggered by a March 2011 earthquake. Official inquiries have concluded that the situation was not the unexpected result of a natural phenomenon. “It was a profoundly manmade disaster - that could and should have been foreseen and prevented,” wrote Kiyoshi Kurokawa, the chair of an independent commission appointed by the government, in an 88 page final report that was issued in July 2012. “Our report catalogues a multitude of errors and wilful negligence that left the Fukushima plant unprepared for the events of March 11,” he added. “And it examines serious deficiencies in the response to the accident by Tepco, regulators and the government.” This is not the first time that Tepco has had problems with nuclear safety. In 2002 the company admitted that it had covered up hundreds of problems dating back as early as 1977 - forcing three top Tepco officials to resign including the company president. In 2007 an earthquake shut down the company’s Kashiwazaki Kariwa nuclear plant Niigata prefecture, the largest in the world. None of the reactors melted down on that occasion but the company had to conduct extensive repairs causing the 62 year old company to run a significant financial loss. None of this appears to have prepared the company to anticipate the Fukushima disaster, which forced the Japanese government to evacuate 160,000 people from the region around the plant. Recently Tepco has finally started to admit that it made serious mistakes. “Our safety culture, skills and ability were all insufficient,” Naomi Hirose, Tepco's president, told a news conference in April. “We must humbly accept our failure to prevent the accident, which we should have avoided by using our wisdom and human resources to be better prepared.” Even then the company flatly denied that the ground water that flooded the basements of the damaged reactor buildings has been leaking into the ocean, resulting in elevated levels of radioactive cesium and strontium that are dangerous to human health. Last week the company acknowledged the groundwater contamination causing Shunichi Tanaka, the chair of the Japanese nuclear energy oversight body, to raise the danger rating of Fukushima from one to three on a zero to seven scale of the International Nuclear and Radiological Event Scale (INES). Government officials say that they are very unhappy with Tepco. “We’ve allowed Tokyo Electric to deal with the contaminated water situation on its own and they’ve essentially turned it into a game of ‘Whack-a-Mole,’” Toshimitsu Motegi, the Japanese trade minister, told reporters earlier this week. “From now on, the government will move to the forefront.” But other politicians have demanded even stronger measures. "I feel very insecure about the fact that a company that cannot learn from its past mistakes would operate a nuclear power plant,” Hirohiko Izumida, governor of Niigata, told reporters. “There should be some procedures considered to bring about the liquidation of Tepco.” The company is already in severe financial difficulties, In May 2012, the company was forced to accept a one trillion yen ($12.5 billion) government bailout in exchange for 50.1 percent of its shares. (Not counting banks, the bail-out was the second largest in history after the U.S. rescue of General Motors in 2009) A month later, facing a major collapse in the company stock price, shareholders voted to effectively nationalize the company. Now the total cost of clean up for the company is estimated at 11 trillion yen ($137 billion) almost as much as the value of the company which is valued at just over 14 trillion yen.

Syria

Robert Reich

I fear we're on the brink of a tragic decision to strike Syria, because, in the dubious logic of the President, "a lot of people think something should be done," and American "credibility" is at stake. He and his secretary of state assure us that the strike will be "limited" and "surgical." Yes, the use of chemical weapons against Syrian citizens is abominable, and if Assad's regime is responsible he should be treated as an international criminal and pariah. But have we learned nothing? Time and again over the last half century American presidents have justified so-called surgical strikes because the nation's credibility is at stake, and because we have to take some action to show our strength and resolve -- only to learn years later that our credibility has suffered more from our foolish and brazen bellicosity, that the surgical strikes have only intensified hostilities and made us captive to forces beyond our control, and that our resolve event...ually disappears in the face of mounting casualties of Americans and innocent civilians. We and others have paid an incalculable price.

On Labor Day weekend we should rather be testing the nation's resolve to provide good jobs at good wages to all Americans who need them, and measuring our credibility by the ideal of equal opportunity. And we should strike (and join striking workers) against big employers who won't provide their employees with minimally-decent wages. We need to commit ourselves to a living wage, and to providing more economic security to the millions of Americans now working harder but getting nowhere. Yes, Mr. President, a lot of people think something should be done -- about these mounting problems at our doorstep, within America. We can have more influence on the rest of the world by showing the rest of the world that we live by our ideals, than by using brute force to make points.

Bernie Sanders

The use of chemical weapons by the Assad dictatorship is inhumane and a violation of international law. However, at this point in time, I need to hear more from the president as to why he believes it is in the best interests of the United States to intervene in Syria's bloody and complicated civil war. I look forward to the Senate debate that will be taking place in the very near future. - Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.)

 

Syria et al

In times of turmoil, it's helpful to read the opinions of others, especially those with whom we disagree.

Below is a collage with more to be added.

It's time to question the U.S. role as the World's Police and whether we want to continue to squander our resources to support the Military-Industrial-Complex.

This should not be a partisan issue, but rather a search to regain our Common Wealth, a Republic with an obligation to uphold American values.

Obama to Seek Congressional Approval on Syria Action

President Barack Obama on Saturday backed away from an imminent military strike against Syria to seek the approval of the U.S. Congress, in a decision that likely delays U.S. action for at least 10 days.

Al Jazeera’s American debut: Hyping a dubious chem-war attack in Syria

By Wayne Madsen

(WMR)—Just as Americans were led astray by the cable news media about Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction prior to the disastrous U.S. invasion and occupation of Iraq, once again, viewers of cable news channels are being subjected to another information warfare campaign. This time it is an alleged Syrian government chemical attack on “thousands” of civilians in the Ghouta region outside of Damascus.

 

Syria is the greatest dilemma of Barack Obama’s presidency

By Linda S. Heard

Barack Obama’s ‘red lines’ have undoubtedly been crossed. Hundreds of Syrians gasping for air and unable to control their limbs were no Hollywood extras. Distraught parents cuddling their dead toddlers close to their chests were no bit-part actors.

Sunstein, cognitive dissonance, and the Naval War College

By Wayne Madsen

(WMR)—President Obama has played a cruel joke on critics of National Security Agency surveillance by naming to his Review Committee on NSA Programs his former chief of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs Cass Sunstein. Also known as Obama’s “information czar,” Sunstein, who is married to UN Ambassador Samantha Power, left the administration to return to Harvard Law School. Sunstein also works out of the George Soros-funded Center for American Progress in Washington, DC.

U.S. war machine never rests: US helped Hussein gas Iran

By Lisa Simeone

As the U.S. (and U.K.) get set to bomb yet another country, to blow yet more people to smithereens, to use the excuse of a “red line”—because, don’tchya know, murdering people by gassing them is so much worse than murdering them by blowing their brains out—that’s just logic—can’t you numbskulls see that? Our overlords can.

Lebanon’s angst as war against Syria looms

By Wayne Madsen

(WMR)—WMR’s sources in Lebanon report that three deadly car bombings, one on August 15 in a Hezbollah-controlled area south of Beirut and two outside two Sunni mosques in Tripoli on August 23 during Friday prayers were intended to import into fragile Lebanon the Sunni-Shi’a/Alawite/Christian violence that is currently raging in neighboring Syria.

The real “moral obscenity” in Syria’s civil war is how we started it

By Peter Chamberlin

Which is the greater moral obscenity? The fact that more than three-hundred civilians have been killed by chemical weapons, or the undeniable fact that over 100,000 Syrians have been killed by various means (most of them civilians), in a premeditated plan to create civil war in another sovereign nation?

The tragedy of starting a war on Syria

By Jerry Mazza

First, we have a purported dictator bad guy Bashar El-Assad inviting Doctors Without Borders to hospitals around the country, shortly after claims were made that 1,000 people were chemically gassed and 300 of them died. Why would he be willing to make himself culpable and vulnerable if he committed the heinous act? Sounds like a false-flag operation to me.

The subterfuge of Syrian chemical weapons

By Nicola Nasser

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on Monday, August 26, removed the sword of the alleged Syrian chemical weapons from its sheath and let the snowball of this subterfuge for a military aggression on Syria roll unchecked, raising the stakes from asking whether “it will happen” to “when” it will happen, promising that President Barak Obama “will be making an informed decision about how” to take on Syria and warning not to make a “mistake” because Obama “believes there must be accountability,” making clear that a U.S.-led military action is in the making and imminent.

 

The politics of death: Human lives devalued in the Middle East

By Ramzy Baroud

How many Egyptians have been killed since the January 2011 revolt? My pursuit for exact figures has proven to be futile. Various sources suggest all sorts of numbers, some scrambled in such a way as to make a political point. It is as if the life of the ordinary Egyptian doesn’t matter on its own, as an absolute value that must be guarded aside from any political considerations. If it does matter at all, it is only within a larger context to simply prove a point.

Western democracies and criminal interventionism

By Gilad Atzmon

It doesn’t take a genius to grasp that the American president doesn’t really want to attack Syria. He doesn’t want to topple Assad’s regime—he doesn’t have an alternative partner on the ground.
