Canada's Yukon Territory announced Tuesday that it has opened one of the largest unbroken wilderness areas in North America to mining and mineral exploration.
CANADA
- In recent years a new gold rush has brought a spike in population and
prosperity to towns like Whitehorse and Dawson. But the rush to exploit
the Yukon's minerals—which also include zinc, copper, iron, and
uranium—has unearthed growing tensions between government and mining
interests on the one hand, and conservation and indigenous First Nations
interests on the other

this goes right along with the natural gas release from a 44inch pipe near Victoria, Tx. Lots more to come.
Loving, here. I think there is a strategic place for suicide, in the near future, for some (detail)
[Note to my JW friend, who kindly replied to my earlier post on my brief contemplation of suicide for myself.]
Brother Joe,
Kind of you to share : Why Go On?—Three Reasons to Keep Living (article in the current JW magazine)
http://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/g201404/
Thank you.
I don't think suicide is necessarily a problem. In fact, I think it is something,
a strategy, that we need to understand, in this 'end times' world, as having
a legitimate place - I think it does. I remember a NYTimes story years ago
during the Darfur Genocide we all did nothing to stop - the murders were, typically,
in a town they were exterminating - they had built a big fire and were throwing
the young boys in, alive, to die. The girls they were brutally gang-raping,
and then murdering...
two sisters sat on the edge of the deep well in town; as the rapists approached
them, they held each other's hands; leaned back, fell into the well, and were
killed - suicide.
I am NOT disparaging the JW article, at all! I'm only saying that there is a place,
too, for suicide in this Satanic, end-times new world. And there are times it should NOT
be done - a mistake.
The creator has shown me a way to try and help others - helping them find
a way off-empire, to the fringes, to live like a holocaust rescuer; and to advocate
that folks stop having babies. This Mission, Call, is already pulling me away from the extreme
personal pain, depression, thoughts of suicide, tho personally, I'm so ready
to leave.
But, not too many years from now when
the fascists come for me, to torture, or lock me away in some hole, to beat
me to death as a homeless person and eyesore, will I seek suicide as an
alternative? I think so. I hope so. Something I need to learn about, and think
thru.
Earth cannot sustain 10 billion people, where we are headed. In fact, with the
growing middle classes around the world, it can't sustain 5 billion, and we are
currently at 7.5 billion or so. That downsizing will be torture, war, starvation,
murder, Fascist fostered genocide.... - unrelenting. There is a place for suicide in that.

detail: ROBERT REICH: The TPP is NAFTA on steroids. Make a ruckus.
STOP
THE TPP. Congress is poised to fast-track the Trans-Pacific Partnership
trade deal (that is, move it through both houses without opportunity
for amendment). This massive trade pact
with 11 Asian and Latin American nations, whose total population is
almost 800 million and comprise 40 percent of the world’s GDP, is a high
priority for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and its corporate patrons
because it would strengthen patent and copyright protections abroad, and
encourage American corporations to make even more stuff overseas and
ship it here. Americans benefit from cheaper goods from abroad only if
Americans have the money to buy them. But this massive deal would
further erode the jobs and wages of working and middle-class Americans
while delivering its biggest gains to corporate executives and
shareholders. Moreover, the deal’s environmental and labor safeguards
are woefully inadequate, and it would give global corporations further
rights to challenge American health and safety laws.
I still regret not doing more to strengthen the North American Free
Trade Act's labor and environmental side-agreements when I was labor
secretary under Bill Clinton. The TPP is NAFTA on steroids. Make a
ruckus.

TransCanada natural gas pipeline explodes near Otterburne. cbc.ca
TransCanada gas pipeline exploded last night near Otterburne, just south of Winnipeg. No injury reports, five houses evacuated.
"Thought it was the neighbours' house or something like that," said eyewitness Tyler Holigroski. "I thought there was a fire, but the way it lit the sky, it was like the sun coming up. The only thing is it was flashing. It would get brighter, get dim, get brighter, go dim. It lit up the whole sky here for half an hour. The sky's still glowing, actually."
