Open Thread - 04-30-2014

Good Morning, Everyone! What's on your minds today? This is an Open Thread and the place where you can share every thing, from the trivial, personal, political and philosophical. Don't be shy. We like funny stuff too around here.

And funny stuff I need, because I just read this article:

I. Well Drilling Has Deep Impact on Health of Great Plains

and it's not funny. Now it's four days old news, but for fracking's sake, the consequences of the facts given in the article will last decades to come.

Well-Drilling-F1.large_.jpgLook at this chart:

The number of oil and gas wells drilled within central provinces of Canada and central U.S. states 1900–2012. Canadian provinces: Alberta, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan. U.S. states: Colorado, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming.

ECOSYSTEM SERVICE TRADE-OFFS. Net Primary Production (NPP), a fundamental measure of a region's ability to provide ecosystem services, is the amount of carbon fixed by plants and accumulated as biomass. It is a fundamental and supporting ecosystem service that is the basis for all life on Earth. We estimate that vegetation removal by oil and gas development from 2000 to 2012 reduced NPP by ∼4.5 Tg of carbon or 10 Tg of dry biomass across central North America. (One Tg is 1 million metric tons or 1 billion kilogram). Advanced technologies in oil and gas extraction coupled with energy demand have encouraged an average of 50,000 new wells per year throughout central North America since 2000. Although similar to past trends, the space and infrastructure required for horizontal drilling and high-volume hydraulic fracturing are transforming millions of hectares of the Great Plains into industrialized landscapes, with drilling projected to continue.

In other words:

They say that the land actually taken up by wells, roads and storage facilities just between 2000 and 2012 is about 3 million hectares. This is the land area equivalent to three Yellowstone National Parks.The hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking,” used to extract oil and gas is between 8,000 cubic metres and 50,000 cubic metres per well, which means that the total quantity of water squirted into the ground at high pressure during the 12 years to 2012 could exceed 33,900 million cubic metres. At least half of this was used in areas already defined as “water-stressed.”

Oh, that's not all:

The total amount lost in rangelands is the equivalent of approximately five million animal unit months (AUM; the amount of forage required for one animal for 1 month), which is more than half of annual available grazing on public lands managed by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The amount of biomass lost in croplands is the equivalent of 120.2 million bushels of wheat, ∼6% of the wheat produced in 2013 within the region and 13% of the wheat exported by the United States

Are you getting thirsty? Hungry? Some wheat bread? Some steaks? Too pricey or not available? You might need to steal some water from your neighbors at night, may be.

Although there is legislation, it is limited to lands subject to federal jurisdiction, and 90% of all drilling infrastructure is now on privately owned land—at least, in the U.S.

What? Privately owned land? Who owns it? Families or corporations, bribed and bought farmers? Which government department allows corporation to buy and use so much land for their purposes?

“In the early 20th century, rapid agricultural expansion and widespread displacement of native vegetation reduced the resilience of the region to drought, ultimately contributing to the Dust Bowl of the 1930s./strong>”

Yeah, we all are going to be dust pretty soon ... I love me my dust, right.

“It took catastrophic disruption of livelihoods and economies to trigger policy reforms that addressed environmental and social risks of land-use
change.”

I love me my catastrophic disruptions too. If we can't use our brains to trigger policy reforms, I guess something else will do it. Not that I really want that to happen, but what else would be new? May be Pablo Picasso wasn't that wrong after all in saying that

Every act of creation is first an act of destruction.

Over night I thought about another development that changed and dominates the US landscape usage.

II. It’s Time to Rethink America’s Corn System

.
Some excerpts to give you food for thought:

Sprawling across the Midwest and Great Plains, the American Corn Belt is a massive thing. You can drive from central Pennsylvania all the way to western Nebraska, a trip of nearly 1,500 miles, and witness it in all its glory. No other American crop can match the sheer size of corn.

We know all the reasons why the US grows so much corn, it's a versatile crop, grows almost everywhere in the US, it can be turned into so many different products, like corn flour, cornmeal, grits or sweet corn, animal feed to make our hogs, chickens and cattle fatter faster. And it can be turned into ethanol, high-fructose corn syrup or even bio-based plastics. Fantastic crop, right?

But the author says that corn needs to be considered a "system" not only a crop and provides four reasons of why the "corn system" is not a good thing for America.

1. The American corn system is inefficient at feeding people

The ultimate success of any agricultural system should be measured in part by how well it delivers food to a growing population. ...Today’s corn crop is mainly used for biofuels (roughly 40 percent of U.S. corn is used for ethanol) and as animal feed (roughly 36 percent of U.S. corn, plus distillers grains left over from ethanol production, is fed to cattle, pigs and chickens). Much of the rest is exported. Only a tiny fraction of the national corn crop is directly used for food for Americans, much of that for high-fructose corn syrup.. .... The average Iowa cornfield has the potential to deliver more than 15 million calories per acre each year (enough to sustain 14 people per acre, with a 3,000 calorie-per-day diet, if we ate all of the corn ourselves), but with the current allocation of corn to ethanol and animal production, we end up with an estimated 3 million calories of food per acre per year, mainly as dairy and meat products, enough to sustain only three people per acre. That is lower than the average delivery of food calories from farms in Bangladesh, Egypt and Vietnam. ...
In short, the corn crop is highly productive, but the corn system is aligned to feed cars and animals instead of feeding people.

2. The corn system uses a large amount of natural resources

In the U.S., corn uses more land than any other crop, spanning some 97 million acres— an area roughly the size of California. U.S. corn also consumes a large amount of our freshwater resources, an estimated 5.6 cubic miles per year of irrigation water withdrawn from America’s rivers and aquifers. And fertilizer use for corn is over 5.6 million tons of nitrogen... Much of this fertilizer, along with large amounts of soil, washes into the nation’s lakes, rivers and coastal oceans, polluting waters and damaging ecosystems along the way. The dead zone in the Gulf of Mexico is the largest, and most iconic, example of this.Between 2006 and 2011, the amount of cropland devoted to growing corn in America increased by more than 13 million acres, coming from farms that lost... lost 2.9 million acres of wheat..1.7 milliong acres of oats...as well as sorghum, barley, sunflower and other crops. Looking at these land, water, fertilizer and soil costs together, you could argue that the corn system uses more natural resources than any other agricultural system in America, while providing only modest benefits in food.

3. The corn system is highly vulnerable to shocks.

Given enough time, most massive monocultures fail, often spectacularly. And with today’s high demand and low grain stocks, corn prices are very volatile, driving spikes in the price of commodities around the world....The monolithic nature of corn production presents a systemic risk to America’s agriculture, with impacts ranging from food prices to feed prices and energy prices. It also presents a potential threat to our economy and to the taxpayers who end up footing the bill when things go sour. This isn’t rocket science: You wouldn’t invest in a mutual fund that was dominated by only one company, because it would be intolerably risky. But that’s what we’re doing with American agriculture. Simply put, too many of our agricultural eggs are in one basket.

4. The corn system operates at a big cost to taxpayers

Finally, the corn system receives more subsides from the U.S. government than any other crop, including direct payments, crop insurance payments and mandates to produce ethanol. In all,U.S. crop subsidies to corn totaled roughly $90 billion between 1995 and 2010—not including ethanol subsidies and mandates...In fact, for the 2012 season U.S. crop insurance programs will likely pay out an estimated $20 billion or more—shattering all previous records....It might be time to rethink our crop subsidy programs, to focus tax dollars where they will achieve the greatest public good. We should help farmers recover their losses during a natural disaster, making them whole again, but not gain from failed harvests
at public expense.

5. Bottom line: We need a new approach to corn. What would such a system look like?

We need a new approach, because in short, our investment of natural and financial resources is not paying the best dividends to our national diet, our rural communities, our federal budget or our environment.This reimagined agricultural system would be a more diverse landscape, weaving corn together with many kinds of grains, oil crops, fruits, vegetables, grazing lands and prairies. Production practices would blend the best of conventional, conservation, biotech and organic farming. Subsidies would be aimed at rewarding farmers for producing more healthy, nutritious food while preserving rich soil, clean water and thriving landscapes for future generations. This system would feed more people, employ more farmers and be more sustainable and more resilient than anything we have today.

It is important to note that these criticisms of the larger corn system—a behemoth largely created by lobbyists, trade associations, big businesses and the government—are not aimed at farmers....What needs to change here is the system, not the farmers.

You bet, I agree with all of what was said above. People in smaller countries than the US would be more than happy to have that kind of land mass to work with. But what do you do with your land?

I am that kind of an immigrant you and your ancestors all were, dreaming of a owning a little piece of land and live off it. And if I don't manage it anymore, I hope my son will. We will produce our own energy, we would use, and we will raise our own food we will eat. Especially pigs. Because those corporate ones are just not satisfying our taste buds.

Well, these little "woolen pigs" are cute. There was a German article in one of our newspapers, that included this video and inspired me to get me a real pig into my life.

I really love pigs. When you ever visit Berlin in Germany, go visit the Zoo. They have a great "pig department". I used to go there with my baby son in the seventies.

Speaking of pigs at the zoo, here's a quick Americans in Germany story. We were fresh faces in W. Germany in 1984,
probably in country for only a few weeks and we went to the Munich zoo. My wife and I had one child at the time, he was
around 8 and we were at one of the big animals exhibits, I can't remember which. My son was playing on the railings in
front of the exhibit which were in front of another railing and some bars. But there was no plexiglass or anything like that.
An older German fellow thought that was extremely dangerous and irresponsible so he layed into us in German of which
we didn't understand anything at all. He was pissed, red faced and then he realized we were Americans and he just became
completely frustrated and stormed off. We were standing there like, "what the hell did we get ourselves into here".
After that we were very careful not to piss people off at the German zoos.

some of that "piss" in their genes and if you trigger them, they release it in explosive manners ... Smile

I know, we are awful imposing idiots. Always think we have to tell people what to do and how something is done right and do so rudely. You are not the only American in Germany who told me this. And when I go home these days, I feel like "americanized", because I get pissed at the pissed off Germans who piss at the Americans. Heh, next trip has to be to France. They are nicer. At least they were in the old days, when I was there.

So sorry, my friend. But look at the pigs, they are cute and would never piss at you.

Maybe you remember when I posted this two days ago.

Republican war-policy writers are demanding that the United States recognize Kurdish and Sunni militias as their own “country” amid growing concerns about Iran’s influence over Baghdad.
The House Armed Services Committee on April 27 released an annual Defense bill that authorizes $715 million in aid to Iraqi forces fighting the self-proclaimed Islamic State (IS). The bill, which is scheduled to be debated and voted on in the committee on April 29, carves out at least 25% of that aid for the peshmerga, the Sunni tribal militias and a yet-to-be-established Iraqi Sunni National Guard.

I said at the time I wasn't sure what to make of it.
Well, someone knew what to make of it, and that someone is Iraqi Shi'ite radical leader Muqtada al-Sadr.

(AP) — An influential Shiite cleric threatened Wednesday to attack U.S. interests in Iraq and abroad over a congressional provision to send arms directly to Sunni and Kurdish fighters.
"In the event of approving this bill by the U.S. Congress, we will find ourselves obliged to unfreeze the military wing and start targeting the American interests in Iraq — even abroad, which is doable," said the statement on Muqtada al-Sadr's website.

It just goes to show that the Republican nujobs in the House should not be making foreign policy decisions.

I think Bernie is running to give cover to Clinton. I think that's why he's running as a Dem. It's not to force
Clinton to the left, or force the discussion to the left, it's to keep some of the focus from the left and the Dem party
off of Clinton and force people to take sides until they have to come together again. Like Obama and Clinton in 2008,
there will be "camps" but in the end they will vote for who wins the primary because they'll feel the process worked.

Now you see why nobody else would say it. Smile

That may be the effect, but I honestly do not think that is the Bernie's motivation for running. Nor do I believe that he is running to force her to the left. She cannot be forced to the left. If Bernie is trying to force anyone to the left, I believe it would be the voters.

I think Bernie is running because he wants a real open platform for the issues and ideas that he believes are important. Without him in the race, those issues will be glossed over in political speak. For the most part, Bernie is a straight talker. While I hate that he is running as Democrat, I also understand why he is forced to do so. As an independent or a member of a minor party, Bernie would be ignored. Running as a Democrat is his ticket into the door for debates, etc.

And Bernie is pissed at Bill Clinton for what he did to the country, so why would he run cover for Clinton II???

know his real intentions. He's certainly better than most politicians but has some big negatives in my mind.
But to me regardless what his intentions are, this only serves to legitimize a process and system that is a farce.
It doesn't matter what Bernie says, nothing is going to change. Clinton or a republican will get elected and the country
will go to war with Russia, or Iran, or both, or whatever. Wealth inequality will continue unabated, social services will
continue to get hit and the show will go on. So I think all this does is take the focus off of where it should
be for citizens, which is demanding a system that is democratic. This presidential election has nothing to do with
democracy in my opinion.
It's like the Obama hope. It gives people hope that maybe this time, just maybe this time, things will be different.

I read this comment and thought of you

The comment is by Souixrose but I can't copy her name. I first give the comment and at the end the link to the article she responded to.

The growth of the (military) Beast involved a lot of factors.

I think the mindset that favored the dominance of the Military-Industrial Complex goes back to the end of WW II. Three reasons stand out:

1. A lot of money was made via the Marshall Plan and the rebuilding of a decimated Europe. U.S corporations intended to maintain "that model."

2. A lot of Nazi engineers, behavioral scientists, and assorted sociopaths were imported to become part of the U.S. martial machine. Natural-born warriors admire other warriors and together, they devote themselves to making wars or finding reasons to start them.

3. The exploding of the atom bomb gave those under thrall to military "solutions" (what I term Mars rules) a new God Complex; and theirs was--and remains--a god of destruction. The resulting potency is better than Viagra to old, aging warriors.

When the war fevers should have died down in the 1950s, instead J. Edgar Hoover struck up the ghostly menace of fear--fear of the outsider, the radical thinker, the nonconformist, the pro-labor rights "communist" to demonize those who did not march lockstep to patriarchal authoritarian creeds.

The inception of the NSA in l947 was the beginning of a Deep State apparatus that could topple foreign governments through 007-style stealth maneuvers; nor was it any coincidence that during that run-up Hollywood began to sex-up the persona of the spy... equipped with a "license to kill."

Enter the assassinations of Dr. King, JFK, Bobby Kennedy, Medgar Evans, Malcolm X... and the beginnings of a growing prison-industrial state, and the mood of macho took root.

When the anti-Vietnam war protests gave rise to a mini-Renaissance where FEMININE peace-loving values took precedence, boys grew their hair long, music filled the air, and youth spoke of "making love, not war," a new set of tactics were required.

I believe that "The War On Drugs" satisfied that clause. Having stood on the White House grounds during anti-war protests with lots of joints passing around as WE burned an effigy of Richard Nixon right outside his window, it seems that the right wing protectors of the status quo that martial patriarchy built had their enemy... right before their eyes. By criminalizing the use of recreational drugs, they could incarcerate and later disenfranchise many of their political opponents.

Of course, the Black Community suffered massively from this nonsensical "war."

Enter Reagan to insist that anything that government does is a travesty... to pave the way for privatization. Then bring in charismatic Clinton to smile while he dismantled programs that protected American workers. The take-down of the Glass Steagall Protections directly led to the Stock Market crash (an outcome that was easily predictable); and the deregulation of media allowed for odious individuals like Rupert Murdoch to own and control an entire news empire.

The result of media ownership? Sickening things like 60% of Fox TV viewers believing that Saddam Hussein was responsible for 911.

The Inside Job paved the way for the implementation of the Project for a New American Century. Its game plan was to destabilize the entire Middle East. And since war abroad allows for tyranny at home, this make-believe---based on a case FIXED for war (as the British insider exposed in "The Downing Street Memos") scenario led to an immediate cessation of significant Civil Rights along with an established Press Corp ready to march lockstep in its recitation of whatever idiotic Official Narrative came down from high places.

Enter into the calculus a fake 2000 election that let The Supreme Court place Bush, the lesser into office; the legal jujitsu used to justify torture; the gutting of Democracy to the "Citizens United" debacle; and the rounding up of inconvenient Truth Tellers and assorted whistle-blowers. This left the pro-war patriarchs with little resistance to their plans for ongoing (if not endless) wars.

War planners know how to plan multi-dimensional forms of warfare. Propaganda is one front, and a lousy economy that compels lots of naïve young people to "be all that they can be" through a job inside the BEAST constitutes another. A third front tragically comes from the surge of fundamentalist Christian churches; nor was it an accident that Bush let slip this idea of a new Crusades. To those naïve enough to think God's will means massacring individuals who worship a "different god," little in the way of reason can be used to counter their delusion.

Eisenhower's nightmare prophecy has now come fully into place... however, it involved all of the items I've laid out, and more.

It will be all those outside of the grasp of Mars-rules and its bankrupt ethos who collectively and eventually take down this Beast. Mother Nature will play a significant role since, as I've frequently quoted from Yogananda, violent conflicts play a direct role in destabilizing geological systems. Yogananda stated--inside the United Nations (back in l949)--that violent conflict would lead to more earthquakes, massive storms, droughts, etc.

The pollutants and fossil fuel detritus of the Industrial Age certainly factor dramatically into the calculus of climate chaos; but overlooked are those invisible forces stemming from angry violent acts and thoughts that also act upon ecosystems.

The state of our world is in peril. Shock Therapy, in the form of long-predicted massive Earth Changes will lead to a new understanding where WAR becomes the great taboo.

yesterday. It was excerpts from an interview that he did with Bernie several years ago for Playboy. The actual interview was much longer than what was originally published and Tasini provided a link to the full interview in his diary. I have not read the entire interview so I cannot comment on the substance contained in the link. But what Tasini did put in his diary shows us that what we have seen in Bernie is what we get. This snippet is interesting and one that Tasini highlighted in his diary.

SANDERS: Let me just tell you this, I’m telling you a story outside of school here, but I’ll tell you at the end. I go to the Democratic caucuses every week, we caucus and every week there is a report about fundraising. Republicans have raised thus and thus, this is what we have done. In the six years that I’ve been going to those meetings, I have never heard five minutes of discussion about organizing, it’s about raising money. Not five minutes to say, look, West Virginia we have rallies, we’re doing this, we’re doing that, we’re knocking on doors, there is zero, to the best of my knowledge. In six years, I have heard no discussion about that at all.

PLAYBOY: And it goes back to the point we talked about in one of the last get- together about you believe we could win the states like Mississippi—

SANDERS: I absolutely do.

PLAYBOY: But we spend no time there.

SANDERS: Absolutely. I mean, the other thing, where the Democratic Party is now, I think if Barack Obama was sitting here he would not deny it, nobody believes that the Democratic Party is now the party of the American working class. That wasn’t always the case, in the ‘30’s, I think people did believe that, ‘40’s maybe they believed it, nobody believes that right now. The Democratic Party—and I support all of these things—is the party of gay rights, I support that, it’s the party of much stronger women’s rights, much better on global warming, much better on immigration, all of those things are good things. But in terms of class politics, the understanding of that, what is enormously important is that you have a middle class today which is literally disappearing. Our country is moving towards an oligarchy, with a handful of wealthy individuals and corporations having enormous political and economic impact. Is that part of the Democratic world view? It is not.

snip...

PLAYBOY: So what you were saying before ties into something that other people have told me. Forget about the polls that say Democrats are favored more than Republicans or vice versa, there seems to be the lowest support in my lifetime for the system. Do you see that?

SANDERS: Yes. In real terms, what the Democratic campaign program is about is we’re pretty bad but they’re worse, vote for us. That’s true, we’re pretty bad but the Republicans are worse and that’s the reason you should vote for the Democrats. Is Obama better than Romney? On his worst day he’ll be better, absolutely. Is Obama prepared to address the very serious problems facing our country today? No.

PLAYBOY: But going to the point of what people are feeling, people just seem to think the system doesn’t work for me, whether you’re in the Tea Party or you’re on the left.

SANDERS: And the answer is, the system does not work for them and the facts are very clear. If you’re a working person, what’s happened to your life? What’s happened to your life? 30 or 40 years ago, your kid could go to a wonderful university, tuition-free in New York City, in Vermont, in California. The State University of California, one of the best university systems in the world, virtually free.

crazy to do it for that purpose. If he loses, he loses, but I don't see why he would be a tactician. The process never works as it should be. Too much BS in the process. I hope he includes changes of electoral laws that are "sticking and biting". I want someone who at least tries to push changes to the process through.

The alliance, which includes al-Qaeda's wing in Syria, known as the Nusra Front, and another hardline militant group, the Ahrar al-Sham movement, is edging closer to the coastal province of Latakia, President Bashar al-Assad's stronghold.
Fighting alongside them, although excluded from a joint command center, are groups which reject the jihadists' anti-Western aims and say they receive covert support from the CIA. Two of these are called Division 13 and Fursan al-Haq.

I. Am. So. Surprised.
