Y2Kyoto: State Of Anorexia Envirosa
Via Andrew Bolt;
No one seems upset that in modern Britain, old people are freezing to death as hidden taxes make fuel more expensive…
Each year, an official estimate is made of the “excess winter mortality” – that is, the number of people dying of cold-related illnesses. Last winter was relatively mild, and still 24,000 perished. The indications are that this winter, which has dragged on so long and with such brutality, will claim 30,000 lives, making it one of the biggest killers in the country…

Climategate 3.0
The anonymous climate document leaker aka “Mr. FOIA” has released a new batch of e-mails and documents in what is being described as Climategate 3.0. Ron Arnold reports on this here and Roy Green interviews Arnold here (about 2:20 from the start).
For the first time ever, the anonymous leaker has purportedly released his own thoughts. Of course the MSM and Suzuki-Gore cult members will do everything they can to suppress this but it’s well worth a read.

It’s Probably Nothing
Inquiring minds in Canada managed to slog through a massive 433 page budget proposal and discovered Depositor Haircut Bail-In Provisions For Systemically Important Banks.
Sure enough. Right on page 145 (PDF page 155) of the Canada Economic Action Plan for 2013 We see …“The Government proposes to implement a bail-in regime for systemically important banks. This regime will be designed to ensure that, in the unlikely event that a systemically important bank depletes its capital, the bank can be recapitalized and returned to viability through the very rapid conversion of certain bank liabilities into regulatory capital. This will reduce risks for taxpayers. The Government will consult stakeholders on how best to implement a bail- in regime in Canada. Implementation timelines will allow for a smooth transition for affected institutions, investors and other market participants.”
In case you are unfamiliar with bank parlance, deposits are not “assets” they are “liabilities”. A plan that would turn “certain bank liabilities” into regulatory capital is a plan to confiscate deposits.
h/t lots of you.

Vancouver’s Magnificent Cherry Blossoms
In Japanese they’re called “Sakura” but English speakers know them as Cherry Blossoms. They are only in bloom for a short period every year. For residents of Vancouver & Victoria they signify the end of winter and that summer is just around the corner. It’s a very special time of the year.

“So, how much do your co-workers drink, Mr. Selley?”
Embrace the ruthlessness, I say. What the Star is doing to Mr. Ford, Fleet Street’s newspapers have done to British politicians for generations, and there’s no time for sympathy. The careers they ruin are trophies for their mantelpieces and objects of jealousy for their competitors.
Actually, I can get on board with this – the moment that journalists stalk each other with the same predatory venom. The more journalistic careers left in ruin, the better. After all, in this day and age, a reporter is little more than a person who wants to shape public policy without going to the bother of getting elected.
