EPA Prepares to Regulate Wood Stoves

March 14, 2014 in Environment, Government

From The New American

It took more than six weeks before the new EPA rules on wood and pellet stoves percolated into the media, which then generated pushback ranging from anger to outrage.

The new rules impose a maximum of fine airborne particulate emissions from 15 micrograms per cubic meter of air down to 12. As Larry Bell, writing at Forbes, put it:

To put this amount in context … secondhand tobacco smoke in a closed-car can expose a person to 3,000-4,000 micrograms of particulates per cubic meter.

That will virtually end the burning of wood for heat or cooking in the United States, according to Reg Kelly, the owner and operator of Earth Outdoor Furnaces in Mountain Grove, Missouri: “There’s not a stove in the United States that can pass the test right now — this is the death knell of any wood burning.”

UC student assaulted near campus; Speaks out about being disarmed by state law

After being violently beaten by a mob of teenagers outside a fraternity house near the University of Cincinnati campus, an engineering student is speaking out about his status as a concealed handgun license (CHL)-holder who has had his right to bear arms for self-defense denied by state law. 

From WLWT (NBC Cincinnati): A UC student who was assaulted by a group of teens near UC’s campus spoke out Monday night. The student is a fifth-year engineering student, but chose not to be identified. Four other students who were attacked Saturday night were outside their fraternity house near Clifton Avenue and Clifton Court. The engineering student jumped in to help and ended up beaten so badly, he had to go to the hospital. “Little bit scared for my safety at that point,” the student said. "Why would they do that? I didn't understand?" 

One of the victims said that the area was usually safe, so the Saturday night assault was very surprising. The engineering student said he was on his way home from a banquet with his girlfriend when about 10 teenagers started yelling and provoking two other fraternity brothers that were walking on Clifton Avenue toward campus. “I sort of jumped in just to make sure you know, that nothing bad was going to happen and they just started going to town on all of us, punched and kicked all of us and had us on the ground for about 30 seconds, then they all dispersed and ran off,” the student said. According to the article, students are saying that with the recent string of assaults on or near campus, they are only walking in big groups. But in this case even a group of five was not enough of a deterrent. For his part, the disarmed "good Samartian" said while he was grateful to be alive, he won’t take any more chances. “I'm personally a concealed carried permit holder. I'm not allowed to carry on campus so I'm not going to do that, but at the same time if the university is not going to provide significant resources to provide us the safety we need then at least let me take care of myself with it,” the victim said. -

UCF professor addresses terrorism questions

Terrorism, which means using fear to reach political goals, doesn’t necessarily entail violence, Matusitz said. A small percentage of Muslims are terrorists, he said, and most of their victims are fellow Muslims.

“Some religions have a specific agenda they need to fulfill,” Matusitz said, without naming specific faiths. “If they can’t fulfill their agenda in a peaceful way, they will use violent means.”

When Bernier asked him for examples of U.S. terrorists, Matusitz named the Ku Klux Klan, the Aryan Nations and Timothy McVeigh.

A hater among us, I don't think so he just wants his country back to the way the founding cultures of the 'British and French' intended it to be.

Multiculturalism in Canada

In 1971, Canada became the first country in the world to declare multiculturalism as official state policy. Multiculturalism is reflected in the law through the Canadian Multiculturalism Act of 1988 and Section 27 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Yet the roots of multiculturalism in Canada can be seen in the country's earliest beginnings, as three founding cultures — aboriginal, British and French — were soon joined by many more from around the globe.

Today, multiculturalism is a touchstone of Canadian national identity and a point of pride for Canadians from coast to coast to coast.



Kevin Goudreau’s blue golf shirt is buttoned to the collar. Were it not, heads would surely be turning, because there is a large tattoo of a swastika on his chest.

He keeps it under wraps during a recent interview, but it is on the Internet for all to see, along with photos of him blanketed in a Nazi flag and with his arm raised in the Nazi salute.

The Oshawa, Ont., drywaller is the leader of the White Nationalist Front, which wants to turn Canada into a white homeland by deporting millions of Canadians of other skin colours.

While Mr. Goudreau does not consider the Norwegian far-right terrorist Anders Behring Breivik an ideological peer, the similarities in their online writings are hard to ignore.

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/publications/multi-report2010/part1.asp

Both demonize multiculturalism, immigration, hate-crimes laws, the media and the left. Both see the solution as social engineering that they imagine will return them to a condition of national homogeneity that never truly existed in the first place.

Where they diverge is on the subject of exactly who poses the primary threat to their Utopias: while Breivik sees Muslim immigrants as the problem, Mr. Goudreau wants all non-whites expelled.

“I feel that Canada’s makeup should be predominantly white European,” he said, adding that would be accomplished through “basically the repatriation of Third World immigrants back to their country of origin.”

Here is a perfect example, why do these people get praised, while historicaly white nations are having to up-root and forget their traditions; whether it be holidays, religion, manner of dress; etc with the risk of being fined or charged with something out of fear of offending a guest in our homelands?!?  

STOP IT for fear of offending a refugee, immigrant, or new comer?  Sorry Folks, but this sort of treatment offends everything we have been brought up with and our founding ancestors; that is all Kevin and a small minority of racialy aware whites are doing is actively resisting these changes in a non-violent manner through spoken and written words, beliefes and opnions.

There is no violence in his actions/words. 'talking'.  Remember everyone Kevin and several others including myself weren't alive during WWII Germany or during the Civil War or Civil Rights era's and Kevin and others are very knowledgeable on the history of those times; more so then many 'scholars, politicians' or 'radioshow catch phrase of the moment' and see the same thing currently happening to our Countries and The White Race.  Stop laying blame were it doesn't belong.  

Discovering why only a minority of people actively resist adversity, in any country, at any time, even when injustice stares them in the face or affects them directly, can be tantalising.

Most people just get on with their lives and survive. In Nazi Germany, ignoring Hitler atrocities, villagers were in denial about nearby concentration camps. Yet a handful of German military chiefs lost their lives in a failed attempt to assassinate Hitler in 1944. Former French president François Mitterand was first involved in the Vichy collaborationist regime, and was then a founder member of one of the first armed resistance movements in France, the Maquis, resisting Nazi occupation from 1942.

Sometimes, individuals have simply had enough, such as Rosa Parks, a black American seamstress. Having travelled all her life on segregated buses in the Deep South, in 1955, on an impulse, she refused to give up her seat for a white passenger, triggering a wave of non-violent protests, which led to the great civil rights movement. In 1962, James Howard Meredith braved the Ku Klux Klan and angry white blockades to become the first black student admitted to the segregated University of Mississippi.  >>more<<

German homeschooling Romeike family given ‘indefinite deferred status’ - EAGnews.org powered by Education Action Group Foundation, Inc.

German homeschooling Romeike family given ‘indefinite deferred status’ - EAGnews.org powered by Education Action Group Foundation, Inc.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Yesterday the Supreme Court of the United States declined to hear the case of a German family seeking asylum in the United States because of persecution they endured in Germany because of their homeschooling.

The Romeike family left Germany after facing fines and possible jail due to their desire to homeschool their children.

HSLDA has a video that provides a good recap of their story:

Below is the response from Home School Legal Defense Association Chair Michael Farris that was emailed to supporters.

Today, the United States Supreme Court declined to review Uwe and Hannelore Romeike’s asylum case. We knew it was an uphill battle since the Court only accepts 80–100 out of nearly 10,000 requests each year. While we are disappointed, the court’s decision in no way changes our commitment to fight for the Romeikes and homeschooling freedom. The court’s decision is not a decision on the merits of the case—however, it was the last judicial hope for the family.

The EC Knows. Why Doesn’t the FBI?

Gates of Vienna blog, Posted on February 22, 2014 by Baron Bodissey

Most of the research for the following article was conducted by our Minnesota correspondent Henrietta. I am deeply grateful for her assistance, without which the evidence described below would not be detailed here.

On New Year’s Day 2014 a powerful explosion and fire occurred at 514 Cedar Avenue South in Minneapolis, in a predominantly Somali neighborhood of the city.

The building was gutted by the blaze. Two bodies were found in the rubble, and fourteen people were hospitalized, one of whom died later. Within 72 hours, the building had been pulled down into a heap of rubble by a backhoe.

Two days after the blast, before any real investigation occurred — which could never be conducted, anyway, with the potential crime scene destroyed — Greg Boosalis, the supervisory special agent with the FBI in Minneapolis, told the press that there was “no evidence of terrorist activity”.

Ever since that day I have been asking the question: How did the FBI know there was no terrorist activity without examining the scene of the explosion?

Unclear how Ohio religious-freedom bill fits with church-state divide

How is the woman on the left allowed to have a drivers license and drive with a burka on?  That would be a huge distraction!  I know I saw a mini van full of said woman waiting at a red light and it scared the crap out of me, and made me say what in thee. . . how is this legal, how can they see!?  While American drivers get fined for  driving with much less of a distraction, let's say having to much stuff being on their review mear etc as a distraction. . . . smh

AP FILE PHOTO

The proposed bill might prevent the state from ordering a Muslim woman wearing a hijab, such as the woman on the right, to remove the scarf for a driver’s license photograph, but it would still allow for the removal of a burka, worn by the woman on the left, because the state has a compelling interesting in seeing a person’s face on a driver’s license.

If the U.S. Constitution is the highest law of the land, can a state law rise above it?

No way, says Nick Worner, communications coordinator for the American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio.

Absolutely, says Joseph LaRue, of the Phoenix-based Alliance Defending Freedom, who argues that the First Amendment provides only a “baseline” but that states can pass stronger laws if they choose.

The issue is relevant because of House Bill 376, the Ohio Religious Freedom Restoration Act introduced last week by Reps. Tim Derickson, R-Oxford, and Bill Patmon, D-Cleveland, and 45 co-sponsors.

Derickson called the bill “a preventive attempt” to block what he considers further encroachment on expression of religious freedom on issues such as prayer in schools, zoning for churches and public expression of religious faith, such as wearing crosses and displaying Nativity scenes.  MORE

Should Driving While Wearing Burqas Be Illegal? How About Helmets?

Well, here's one that a whole bunch of state motor-vehicle codes probably don't address: Is driving while wearing a burqa a road hazard?

The question arises from the curious case of a 31-year-old Muslim woman fined last week in France for driving while wearing a headscarf. It was reported in some media as a burqa, although that may not be correct.

Muslim dress has become a hot political issue in France, with laws banning headscarves in certain venues. French president Nicholas Sarkozy has taken up a campaign against them, ordering Parliament to debate a law that bans the wearing of full-face veils in public.

The laws have sparked debate over the limits of religious expression in a secular society, despite estimates that fewer than 2,000 of France's 5 million Muslims actually wear the veils. This seems to be the first case in which road safety was used to justify legal action.
