Sorry Oklahoma, You Can't Vote for Gary

 

Thursday, August 30, 2012

Earlier this month, I wrote an article announcing that Libertarian Party Presidential candidate Gary Johnson had made it on the ballot in Oklahoma under the America’s Elect ballot line.
Unfortunately, he will not be on the ballot as hoped.

An article published yesterday by Daily Oklahoman's Michael McNutt states that Gary Johnson will NOT be on the ballot in Oklahoma this November.

According to the article, Assistant Attorney General Neal Leader stated that the national organization of America’s Elect did not authorize anybody to be on the ballot as President nor did it file any paperwork in order to be recognized as a political party in the state of Oklahoma.

Due to this information coming from the America’s Elect organization, the office of the Attorney General has ordered the State Election Board to remove Gary Johnson from the ballot this November.

This is party politics at its finest. I myself am a Republican but I am getting sick and tired of the games the GOP is playing. It has done disturbing things within its own party such as the rules violations at the Oklahoma State Convention and with the supporters of Presidential candidate and Texas Congressman Ron Paul, as seen at its National Convention. But it also has thwarted every effort by the people of Oklahoma to be given a third choice in this year’s Presidential election.

Can Whale Strandings Help Predict Earthquakes?

Photo via The Guardian
Earthquakes, like the one that struck in Christchurch, New Zealand yesterday, rank among the most devastating natural disasters, capable of leveling cities and causing extensive loss of life -- largely because they are so unpredictable. On Sunday, however, less than 48 hours before the quake, 107 pilot whales beached themselves and died along the nation's shores, a phenomenon that biologists have yet to fully understand. treehugger.com

Big Quake Coming In Atlantic/Caribbean? 22 Pilot Whales Beached Themselves In South Florida 9/1/12

I have written about this many times. When whales have beached themselves in the Pacific at various Islands, including New Zealand there will be a very large quake within a week afterwards somewhere around that area of the world.

Today, a very unusual beaching occurred in South Florida. This happens quite often in the Pacific, but not on the U.S. Atlantic side.
If you think about it…. Whales are very sensitive with their sonar regarding sounds. Think about how tectonic plates will grind, imagine that sound amplified through the water.

MIAMI (Reuters) – Twenty-two short-finned pilot whales beached themselves along Florida’s Atlantic coast on Saturday, and 17 died despite a day-long effort to save them, authorities said.

 

Five calves and juveniles were rescued and taken to a nearby rehabilitation center, according to Carli Segelson of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

 

She said the others, males and females, died of natural causes or were euthanized.

 

The creatures, which are the biggest in the dolphin family after killer whales, came ashore near Fort Pierce, on Florida‘s south-central Atlantic coast.

 

The U.S. National Park Service, Florida Fish and Wildlife and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration participated in the rescue effort.

 

Segelson said pilot whales, which are considered highly intelligent, are a species that commonly strand themselves on beaches around the globe.

 

Such incidents often have been blamed on infestations of parasites that affect the whales’ brains and their ability to stay on course. They normally stick to deep waters, where they feed on a diet that includes squid and octopus.

 

The cause of Saturday’s beaching was not immediately clear. Allison Garrett of NOAA said necropsies might help explain what drove the mammals ashore.

Government Readies Youth Corps To Take On Vets

In 1920, Adolf Hitler, authorized the formation of a Youth League of the National Socialist Workers' Party (NSDAP) based upon the principles of an earlier German youth group known as as the Wandervögel.  The Wandervögel (translated as "Migratory Bird") were the German equivalent of the Boy Scouts of America

Explorers with the Visalia, Calif., police department practiced with airsoft guns, which fire tiny pellets, before taking part in a drill in which they tried to overtake a hijacker holding hostages aboard a bus.

Clinton, on a visit to Jakarta shortly after the bombing in Peshawar, said that she wanted to “very clearly condemn the attack on our consulate personnel”.
“We deplore the cowardly act of suicide bombing and terrorist attacks that have affected so many people around the world and which we must all stand against,” she told reporters.
