Hey...more good news!

From WRH's Letters page - a most reassuring note:

READER: It's been a re-assuring municipal election here in Saint John, NB.

The local paper here is run by a huge company called Irving, who basically (and almost literally) owns the city. They haven't paid proper taxes or water rates for decades, pollute with total impunity, etc. Well most of the mayors running were totally in favour of "special breaks for the great industry" including the current mayor, who literally had a secret private meeting with the Irving head guy and behind his own council's back negotiated a deal that COST the city 125 million in taxes! Naturally the local paper has all but spoon-feeding these candidates to the people, front page articles daily praising their strengths, flat out lies to help them, and reassuring the city readers that THESE are YOUR candidates. Sound familiar?

But there one guy who from day one stood up to these industries and sweetheart deals. He's in favour of industry but FAIR industry practices and deals, and refused to roll over to them in any time as counselor. The papers gave equal time thrashing him and lying constantly about him. His campaign was pure grassroots.

Last night, he WON BY A LANDSLIDE (Ivan Court), to the surprise of literally everyone in the paper and media, who were "shocked" that this "underdog" could win! In his congratulations talk on the radio this morning, he denounced the lies of the paper and asked that they work hard to "restore their integrity" and called them out on their clear bias against non-Irving friendly candidates.

The people have spoken, propaganda failed, and the grassroots candidate won easily!!! This can be reassuring to your readers on a larger scale I hope.

I'll try and find clips for you, but maybe a search on CBC will help you get relevant links to collaborate what I've said about the paper's bias, because they are certainly talking about it on the radio. Naturally the paper has nothing to say this morning...

You see...one person really can make a difference.

Here's a blog I'll need to watch: American Thinker

Can you believe that his thinking about what's BEST for AMERICA is a BAD THING?!? Why is this blog called American Thinker? Let's just be honest and call it for what it is: The Whiny Anti-American.

Read what happened to her:

Wafer Shaker al Daghma was with three of her children when she was MURDERED.

They blew her door off with explosives, and the blast REMOVED MOST OF HER HEAD.

Did her children really need to see that?

You think those kids aren't going to grow up FUCKED IN THE HEAD?

Bastards.

Here's a great rant from Henry Rollins:



More info for self-storing food (special thank you to my bud Travis Kelly for sending it along):

1. FOOD CONTAINERS
There is a lot of misinformation out there about plastic buckets. Most of the controversy rages over whether a bucket is food grade or not. Most plastic containers, usually on the bottom, will have a number inside a small triangle. All the buckets I have ever seen have a #2. This number doesn't mean that it's food grade as many people suppose. But rather it tells what kind of plastic the bucket is made of. The #2 means it is made from HDPE plastic. Most of these buckets are food grade but there are times when they are not.

Sometimes the bucket has a dye added to the plastic that is not food grade This alone will prevent the FDA from approving it as food grade. And sometimes the bucket manufacturer uses recycled HDPE. These buckets also are not food grade. And lastly, when something is put in the bucket that is a nonfood type product such as paint, chemicals, and such things, this also makes them so they are no longer food grade. HDPE plastic is slightly porous and will absorb these chemicals which will gradually leach back into any food you place in the bucket later.

However, if you use Mylar or Marveseal bags, with an ironed seal, this should protect your food if stored in a non-Food Grade container. Best bet, however, is to use both Food Grade HDPE buckets, plus Mylar bags.

Uline has excellent prices on Food-Grade buckets: $3.99 for 5 gallon (any quantity), plus $1.09 for lids.

They do not, however, carry mylar or metallized bags. The following company in Orem, UT has such bags ($2.50 each), plus the buckets/lids at higher prices:

This page has excellent, illustrated step-by-step instructions (and see below for treatment against infestation):

2. INFESTATION

http://waltonfeed.com/self/upack/bugs2.html

The main conclusions drawn from these tests is that infestations in hermetically sealed containers are self-limiting due to generation of carbon dioxide by the respiring grain [and insects]. Plastic lids do not provide an adequate barrier to prevent re-infestation. Unless there is good reason to believe that the grain is completely free of infestation, the grain should be treated by freezing to -10 degrees Fahrenheit (-23 Centigrade) at the center of the container for 2-4 hours or with carbon dioxide according to the following procedure: Place dry ice into the container (l oz./gal. or 2 gm./liter) and fill the container with wheat (or other staple). Set the lid in place but do not seal. When the frost that formed on the bottom of the container has melted, seal the container. If the container is sealed before the dry ice is gone, the container may burst.

Just some pointers so that your stored food actually doesn't kill you...be an ant instead of a grasshopper...

Hahahaha...you tool! I got another one, scumbag!
