Pierre Omidyar commits $250m to new media venture with Glenn Greenwald

Omidyar says decision to set up news organisation fueled by ‘concern about press freedoms in the US and around the world’

In an interview with Jay Rosen, media critic and NYU professor of journalism, Omidyar said he was committing an initial $250m to the as-yet-unnamed venture. Omidyar told Rosen the decision was fuelled by his “rising concern about press freedoms in the United States and around the world”.

Omidyar said he hopes the project will promote “independent journalists with expertise, and a voice and a following” while using Silicon Valley knowhow to build an audience. “Companies in Silicon Valley invest a lot in understanding their users and what drives user engagement,” Omidyar said. The company will be online only and all proceeds will be reinvested in journalism.

Since 1940, however, the Greenland coastal stations data have undergone predominantly  a cooling trend. At the summit of the Greenland ice sheet the summer average temperature has  decreased at the rate of 2.2?C per decade since the beginning of the measurements in 1987. This  suggests that the Greenland ice sheet and coastal regions are not following the current global warming  trend

President Obama now says that anyone who agrees with his 2006 speech is a terrorist. extortionist, arsonist and a traitor.

This next trillion dollars might do the trick.

One little problem that confronts you
Got a monkey on your back
Just one more fix, Lord might do the trick

IPCC Third Assessment Report – Climate Change 2001

“It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our government’s reckless fiscal policies. Over the past five years, our federal debt has increased by $3.5 trillion to $8.6 trillion. That is  ‘‘trillion’’ with a ‘‘T.’’ That is money that we have borrowed from the Social Security trust fund, borrowed from China and Japan, borrowed from American taxpayers.”

The morally righteous and indignant Senator Obama has now borrowed almost as much money as all other presidents combined.

This week marks eight years without  a major (category 3-5) hurricane landfall in the US. That has happened only once before, during the 1860’s.

Climate experts say that global warming makes hurricanes more intense, despite the fact that there is zero evidence to back up such a claim.

“The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. government can’t pay its own bills. … I therefore intend to oppose the effort to increase America’s debt limit.”

It has been almost 100 years since our friends on the left confiscated all Russian’s guns, and implemented the workers paradise which came to be known as the USSR – world famous for its universal healthcare.
