DNC Perez Nixed Climate Debate, Warned Candidates Not to Participate in Other Climate Debates

By William Rivers Pitt
The Arctic and the Amazon — two places that should generally not be on fire if we want to keep this whole “life on Earth as we know it” thing rolling — are burning. Climate change did not cause the Amazon fires — people did, specifically cattle farmers clearing land — but fires within the planetary oxygen engine of that rainforest will, if unchecked, exacerbate climate disruption in ways many fear to contemplate.
The Arctic fires thousands of miles away are directly due to climate change, and could immediately lead to a massive release of methane that has, until now, been trapped under permafrost – which is now melting. That release would lead to accelerated melting of the ice caps, bringing raised sea levels and sweeping annihilation to coastal regions everywhere.
Probably something we should be talking about at the highest levels, yes? As far as the Democratic debates to help decide who will be the 2020 presidential nominee are concerned, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) has other plans, which is to say, they have no plans to have a single-issue debate on climate or any other topic of merit. 
The DNC’s resistance to holding a specific presidential debate on climate has been a summer-long affair. In June, DNC chairman Tom Perez informed the candidates that a climate debate was off the table. In a statement released just after the DNC’s announcement, former presidential candidate Jay Inslee — who first requested this specifically defined debate — released an angry denunciation of the decision.
“Today, my team received a call from the Democratic National Committee letting us know that they will not host a climate debate,” the Inslee statement read. “Further, they explained that if we participated in anyone else’s climate debate, we will not be invited to future debates. This is deeply disappointing.”...  MORE  https://truthout.org/articles/the-dnc-nixed-a-climate-debate-because-thats-what-chairman-perez-wanted/?eType=EmailBlastContent&eId=6bcd2cef-ec51-4f48-8c5a-6bf6c5a8a128

Photo of Pelosi Standing and Pointing Finger at Trump Amid Mutual Allegations of "Meltdown"

Image
#PelosiMeltdown President Trump and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi traded mutual accusations that the other had suffered a "meltdown" in a White House meeting today, with Pelosi saying later  "we have to pray for [the President's] health" after Trump called her a "third-rate politician."  Pelosi and Democrat Chuck Schumer walked out of the meeting which was called to discuss Syria. However, Trump tweeted a picture of Pelosi standing and pointing her finger at him, as Trump looks across a large meeting table seating more a dozen both Democrat and Republican congress members and officials. Trump called the tweet "nervous Nancy's unhinged meltdown." Trump said this week about Syria: "We have a situation where Turkey is taking land from Syria. Syria's not happy about it. Let them work it out," Trump said. "They have a problem at a border. It's not our border. We shouldn't be losing lives over it.&qu

9/11 Science Club: Mass Does Not Accelerate as it Accumulates

Greater speed would impart greater kinetic energy, therefore crushing the structure beneath it.  There is only one problem with this hypothesis.  It is absurd. Up until Galileo,  it was assumed that a 100 pound cannon ball would fall faster to the gr

Las Vegas Mass Shooting False Flag Solved?

Image
If you can pardon the corny theatrics of this guy likening himself to a gunslinger, and his facts check out, he might be onto something.  "John E Hoover's" main contention is that Las Vegas tourist helicopter traffic flows a certain way, up and down the strip at 3,000 feet, and that there was no air traffic according to flightradar24  anyway, in the time frame of the shooting.  Therefore the running lights and perhaps gunfire seen crossing back and forth in front of the killing zone, seen in municipal camera footage, could be helicopter firing platforms. Why would airborne firing platforms flash running lights?   I would think if there were two criss-crossing the same area there is a very real possibility of a mid-air collision without them, so much that I'd gamble on the running lights being easy to explain away rather than risk it. This evidence does not supersede the even more compelling evidence that the rate and sound of fire does not match a bump-fired AK,

Greenwich Village, Colorado Police Use Grenade Launchers to Destroy Innocent Man's House in Chase

Image
First question: How does a chithole town police department get grenade launchers (40 millimeter rounds)? More wannabe soldier-badasses dressed as cops, judge rules man owed no compensation.  Looks to me like it lucky the cops didn't kill any of the innocent family inside in its "mission" to get their man without loss of life. Police blew up an innocent man’s house in search of an armed shoplifter. Too bad, court rules. Projectiles were still lodged in the walls. Glass and wooden paneling crumbled on the ground below the gaping holes, and inside, the family’s belongings and furniture appeared thrashed in a heap of insulation and drywall. Leo Lech, who rented the home to his son, thought it looked like al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden’s compound after the raid that killed him. But now it was just a neighborhood crime scene, the suburban home where an armed Walmart shoplifting suspect randomly barricaded himself after fleeing the store on a June afternoon in 201
