knut, siku, human zoos & sculptures

Knut, 2007

Siku, 2011

Knut proponents are riled up about Siku at the Scandinavian Wildlife Park, Denmark. Siku is cute, but it's not Knut. ('The new knut' whose mother had not enough milk is not really an orphan.) Knut fans are mustering a memorial tribute with voting until January 8, 2012 on 42 entries: Pick a knut memorial sculpture. Be prepared, some of the submissions are underwhelming.

Footballer turned curator.  Lilian Thuram's 'Human Zoos: The Invention of the Savage' --- "traces the history behind circuses, stage shows and 'zoos' in which people were the exhibits, dating it back to 1492 when Christopher Columbus displayed six 'Indians' at the Spanish royal court" (Daily Mail article). The exhibition is at Paris' Quai Branly, France, from Tuesday 29th November to Sunday 3th June 2012.
See more, including a video and the museum's website. Following his retirement in 2008, he established the Lilian Thurman Foundation.

In politics, Thuram made headlines during the 2007 French elections by calling out the institutionalized racism of Nicolas Sarkozy. (Article: France World Cup player Lilian Thuram now fights racism, November 11, 2009.)

Speaking of, there was a nazi encounter with swastikas and death threats on Christmas Eve for a biracial couple in Newmarket, Ontario. The man, from Nigeria ('nigger'), and the white woman ('whore'), are considering moving. The couple has already spent $6000 repairing damages. It isn't the first time.

An Occupy sculpture was hauled away from an encampment in Calgary, Alberta.

republican theory of voter suppression.mov

Paul Weyrich, the "founding father of the conservative movement," addressed a seminal Religious Right gathering held in Dallas in the fall of 1980:

Video: Republican theory of voter suppression.mov

Weyrich: How many of our Christians have what I call the googoo syndrome. Good government. They want everybody to vote. I don't want everybody to vote. Elections are not won by a majority of people. They never have been from the beginning of our country, and they are not now. As a matter of fact, our leverage in the elections, quite candidly, goes up as the voting populace goes down.

Jerry Falwell and Ronald Reagan also addressed the gathering. Weyrich cofounded the Heritage Foundation, Moral Majority, Free Congress Foundation, American Legislative Exchange Council, and continues to host weekly strategy sessions for right-wing leaders.

bronco goes to dc, little black lies & the castle

Well, Gary Mar came back from the Alberta Embassy in Washington for the provincial Progressive Conservative (PC) leadership race, which he lost, so now he's being shipped to China Hong Kong. Asia. The U.S. vacancy will be filled, as was Mar's position, i.e. without due process, by former Calgary mayor Dave 'Bronco' Bronconnier for about nine months. Hopefully, Ambadassador Gordon Campbell in the UK, Bronco in Washington and Mar in Asia can birth their many bouncing baby pipelines, mines, logging inroads.

Lettuce earnestly hope that no mention will be made by these 3distinguished gentlemens of an Alberta grizzly bear expert, who lives in self-imposed exile (Missoula, Montana).

Of the Castle Special Management Area, he says:

It was ostensibly “protected” as part of the Alberta government’s Special Places Program in 1998, but unlike other candidate parks, it wasn’t protected by legislation; it was simply managed as one under government policy, which has been ineffective to say the least. Logging and energy development continue to this day.

fur trade: p-bears, beavis & chinese khats&dawgs

There is talk (Senator Eaton) of changing Canada's official emblem, national symbol, from a beaver-vagina (see: slang and merkins) to a polar bear.

The beaver has a long history, with the Hudson's Bay Company:

By the year 1600, the need for more beaver fur exploded. European beavers were dying out because of over-hunting, and new fashions, like hats, used lots of beaver felt. Which was why the discovery of the North American beaver was like a miracle to hat-makers! source 

***IDSTURBING***
In China, "When the fur is finally peeled off over the animals' heads, their hairless, bloody bodies are thrown onto a pile of those who have gone before them. Some are still alive, breathing in ragged gasps and blinking slowly. Some of the animals' hearts are still beating five to 10 minutes after they are skinned. One investigator recorded a skinned raccoon dog on the heap of carcasses who had enough strength to lift his bloodied head and stare into the camera." source: PETA

"CONDITIONS IN CHINA
Millions of dommestic dogs and cats plus rabbits, foxes, coyotes, mink, raccoons and other animals are suffering unconscionable treatment and agonozing death in China where there are no animal welfare laws. Dogs and cats for example are being crushed into barbed wired cages for transport to slaughter and forced to lay on each other for days with no food or water.

"MISLABELED FUR
Stores across the world are selling mislabeled fur from these dogs, cats, rabbits and other animals in China.  China supplies more than half of the finished fur garments imported for sale in the United States. The fur products on store shelves are from these same animals and range from purses to key chain accessories to collar accents to coats and more.  You can help support the abolishment of animal cruelty by not buying or waering any fur products." source

NEW BRIEFING PAPER FROM NIRS: ATOMIC RADIATION IS MORE HARMFUL TO WOMEN
Nuclear Information & Resource Service
October 18, 2011
For Immediate Release

Excerpt: Women as a group suffer significantly more from the impact of ionizing radiation than do men. Today Nuclear Information and Resource Service published a Briefing Paper that focuses on a dramatic fifty-percent greater incidence of cancer and fifty-percent greater rate of death from cancer among women, compared to the same radiation dose level to men. To be clear: males suffer cancer and cancer death from exposure to ionizing radiation; but gender difference in the level of harm has been to date underreported.

old man - redlight king

Redlight King.

"Old Man" is not a cover but rather offers up a reluctant salute to his own father, a larger-than-life figure who taught school by day and raced stock cars at night, while paying homage to rock icon Neil Young's song of the same name. source

Old Man: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGt54Ozo8LQ

speculation: racist hate crime? wai ho tam

This is awful. In July 14, 2010, an old man is going for a walk, then sits at a bus stop to rest (Wai Ho Tam, 79). Some cow comes along and knocks off his baseball cap, and he goes to pick it up. She shoves him, he falls, and hits his head on the sidewalk. The old man is taken to the hospital, and later moved to a longterm care facility - due to that injury! - where he dies. RIP: March 17, 2011.

Coincidentally, it appears to have happened during Calgary Stampede, July 9-18, 2010. Police say drugs and alcohol are not a factor and they don't suspect a hate crime, either, but who would really say.

flood stories: so, anyway

After that terrible, absurd summer - graduations, finals, work as displaced persons - we moved, again, to another neighborhood, and worked to get our bearings with schools, bus routes, the fostered pets back, furniture, groceries, paid off the extra bills and the rest of it like fucking real estate prices and high rent and the landlord on rent-to-own that wasn't. Life started to feel a bit like camping. After a summer of endless laundry and sorting, salvage, some things I just put away, and have been going through recently.

Next thing you know, about the one year anniversary of our big change, there's shocking city news, family murder-suicide, several blocks away! Well, big fucking brouhaha welcome, let me say, fucking dead fucking kids and mom and tenant journalism student or gory whatever and I'd NEVER be cozily buried beside an SOB who murdered my kids but people are weird and that wasn't a very nice omen, which was followed by shocking national news of a strange decapitation on a Greyhound bus, and it all makes one wonder, is all I can say, what with the mysterious hum.

I would have moved sooner, as rent prices started to fall a bit, but at some point there was some stability to factor in, on account of the schools and kids' friends etc. And look, was that Mike Harris on the Enmax Board of Directors re those ridiculous bills at those all of homes, temporary and otherwise, that summer?

On June 8, 1995 Mike Harris became the twenty-second Premier of Ontario following a landslide election victory. In 1999, he was re-elected — making him the first Ontario Premier in over 30 years to form a second consecutive majority government. source

Oh never mind, there was a shake up there already. Yeah, so the old property flooded again. That makes twice in four years, a river through the front door. The new house flooded, too, just in the basement, several times and 2x over Christmas break in 2009, due to what appeared to be periodic root/sewer problems or somethiing, so we threw things out again, decided to move, just as soon as I recovered from a goddamned nervous water housing breakdown.

That was that. None of us is the same.

violence: calgary stampede (july 8-17, 2011)

Wild West: It has come to my attention that there is a lot of violence during Stampede. It seems that young men see it as a time to get liquored, with the sole intention of fighting. They roam around in gangs. My story about a loved one, who was freshly home from school, in another city, which I relay:

He was quite excited to see his friends, bought himself a cowboy shirt, took his girl and they went out. The sad part is that he was happy to be back in Calgary. After a random beer bottle was flung in their direction, while the couple faced each other, so behind my son's back, and after a hearty, drunken 'Fuck you' (uttered by my son), the dudester came towards them, whipping off his black t-shirt, at which time this couple turned to walk (or stumble) away, because they surmised that dudester was a... nutbar?

And so, the dudester barreled into him from behind, knocked him down. As he started to get up to fight, my son was kicked in the face. ("Curb-stomped," as is the parlance.) The rest is about the ambulance, the presence-of-mind and later disturbed girlfriend who hadn't seen gushing blood until that, the dental surgery, smashed face, so it's lucky the jaw wasn't broken. My other son was so outraged, says it happens all the time and he doesn't even engage in the [whatever it is]. Yes, men will be men.

As an aside, the medical costs are not covered (to reset the teeth) and they'll probably be, say, 2G. There is a program in Alberta for victims of crime, and we were sent the financial benefits package in July, to which we will apply when all the costs are totaled; they're still in process.

Another person I spoke with said the atmosphere downtown was disgusting: the business suits in drunken vomit and stench, so that person isn't too interested in the big annual event, either.

Update2: 4 bears killed at oil camp: "Workers at a northern Alberta oil site are outraged after a wildlife officer shot and killed a mother black bear and her three cubs for entering their camp's living area. They claim camp managers are negligent for allowing garbage and food to be stored outside and refusing to build a fence around the compound." Daily Herald-Tribune, Grande Prairie

Youtube: Aramark camp bear shootings, Aramark camp bear shootings pt2

A mom and her 3 cubs were destroyed at an Aramark camp just outside Conklin, Alberta. The camp does not have a fence around the camp and didn't store their garbage properly. The camp workers let the bears come and go and didn't notify the wildlife people about the problem until it was too late! This is wrong and this "American Company" should pay for what is happening out here. These poor bears did not deserve this at all!

salmon inquiry, 'events in Japan' & trout

The Cohen Commission (Commission of Inquiry into the Decline of Sockeye Salmon in the Fraser River) today heard from Kristi Miller, who's been under pressure it seems to say nothing public, like other scientists, about her study and federal government science... stuff. There appears to be a little funding problem.

A research program led by geneticist Kristi Miller which recently discovered a new virus that could be a factor in declining Fraser River sockeye has no funding to continue its work, the Cohen Commission heard Thursday. more (Vancouver Sun)

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency issued notification to media outlets that it was testing sockeye salmon for radiation levels in August and September 2011.

The federal government often refers to the reported meltdown of three nuclear reactors in Fukushima as "the events in Japan", rather than using more descriptive language. However, the words "nuclear crisis" appeared once in today's statement. more (Georgia Strait)

Ai WeiWei, Franke James & political climates

“Who was the idiot who approved an art show by that woman, Franke James?”
Memorable words from one of Canada’s top officials on hearing that the Canadian Embassy in Croatia had offered support for Franke’s art show.

Ai WeiWei is a Chinese artist, who is now out of jail ("suspected economic crimes") and under house arrest, without his passport. He was offered a teaching position at Berlin University for the Arts, so even if he wants that assignment, at the moment he cannot leave the country.

http://forestgospel.blogspot.com/2011/02/ai-weiwei.html

Franke James is an artist, who had her funding for a trip to Croatia revoked by the Canadian government. Incidentally, the (drowning polar bear) guy is suspended and, who knows, maybe he is an hostage in a US debt ceiling agreement deal; Charles Monnett is under investigation about melting Arctic ice. Another taboo is the genomic analysis of sockeye salmon. Kristi Miller, a federal scientist, is not allowed to talk to anyone, as per the Canadian Department of Fisheries and Oceans ("some even suggesting a government conspiracy to save itself some embarrassment should its trade practices prove to be spreading it") or, the geologist and the most controversial 13,000 year-old flood.

Franke James: The Canadian Government, led by Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s Conservative Party, is actively working to shut down my solo European art exhibition, which is set to tour 20 cities in Europe. The government’s interference includes phoning the corporate sponsor, and persuading them to cancel their $75,000 sponsorship.

In Canada, the last WWI vet didn't want fanfare, so the government gave it to him. In Calgary, the Calatrava Bridge controversy with overruns and improper approvals nearly bent itself sideways into The Bow - with the other real estate scandal (or another or other or other) - to become the pricey Piece Bridge to honour soldiers, so everyone just forgot about the issues, and the fact there are 2 other foot bridges, not far away, and it appears this one is for the high-end condos?

Kill the food, kill the Indian. I am too lazy to tell the stinkhole story. One year buffalo just didn't come back to the northern range. Here is a haunting painting.

RECENT NEWS: The bull, the living embodiment of this country's untamed spirit, was killed for walking onto the hobby ranch of the wealthy Povah family.  Mr. Povah had complained that the buffalo was "threatening my fence."  The Montana Department of Livestock (DOL) agent that shot him made no attempt to move the bull off the private property and onto the adjacent Gallatin National Forest. Buffalo Field Campaign West Yellowstone, penning, corrals, captivity, brucellosis etc.

Geronimo, Nanook, Thule society & cold Indian wars in 4 corners

Op Geronimo gets Osama bin Laden, Op Nanook is a-gittin' the Ruskies. After the Indian Wars (1886), there was grandfather Prescott Bush, Geronimo's skull and bones and the Yale secret society and, in 2009, a Geronimo v. Obama, 09-cv-303 law suit when his descendants sued for his remains, which actually could still be exhumed at Fort Sill. (Straight dope) And the leader of the Apache warrior's tribe is asking US President Barack Obama for a formal apology for the government's use of Geronimo as a code name.

Geronimo (June 16, 1829 – February 17, 1909), Chiricahua Apache.

This raises the question, what does a nineteenth century Apache leader have to do with twenty first century Saudi millionaire? source

Operation Nanook (1946), United States Navy. From 22 July to 05 August 1946, all activities in Operation Nanook centered around Thule (Thula, Thila, or Thyïlea), a region in the far north.

The Thule Society also was a Nazi secret society, modeled on the Japanese Green Dragon Society by Hitler's "Merlin," Karl Haushofer.

History Channel, Part I. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cv-1i7Sx8L8

A university professor fluent in Russian, French, English, Korean, Japanese, and Chinese, a man tied closely with Hitler and Hess, Haushofer stood as mentor, teacher, and sage, sculpting the zeal and fanaticism that would turn Germany into a totalitarian state, preaching of racial stratification, geographic unity, and the right of the Aryan people. A footnote in many books and not mentioned at all in many more, Haushofer's role in the Reich has gone greatly underappreciated. Making pacts, studying signets, and legitimizing hate, Haushofer was nothing less than a masterful conductor carefully hidden in the folds of the Nazi regime. source
