"According to new research by British historian Tim Maltin, records by several ships in the area where the Titanic sank show atmospheric conditions were ripe for super refraction, a bending of light that caused a false horizon that concealed the iceberg that sank the Titanic in a mirage layer preventing the Titanic's lookouts from seeing the iceberg in time to avoid collision. According to the new theory, Olympia was sailing from Gulf Stream waters into the frigid Labrador Current, where the air column was cooling from the bottom up, creating a thermal inversion with layers of cold air below layers of warmer air creating a superior mirage. The theory also explains why the freighter Californian was unable to identify the Olympia on the moonless night because even though the Olympia sailed into the Californian's view, it appeared too small to be the great ocean liner. The abnormally stratified air may also have disrupted signals sent by the Titanic by Morse Lamp to the California to no avail. This is not the first time atmospheric conditions have been postulated as a factor in the disaster that took 1,517 lives. An investigation in 1992 by the British government's Marine Accident Investigation Branch also suggested that super refraction may have played a role in the disaster (PDF See page 13), but that possibility went unexplored until Maltin mined weather records, survivors' testimony and long-forgotten ships' logs."

Just a note: The press release is the one associated with the story. It is not from the Associated Press, which I would have capitalized as such, had it been the case.
Actually, no. There hasn't been a legitimate governing body in Canada since 1931 when the colonial provisional government was dissolved ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statute_of_Westminster_1931 [wikipedia.org] ) and the provinces were granted the right to convene an assembly of first ministers and establish a federation. Instead, they didn't do so, and everyone kept play-acting that the decaying vestiges of the military government were the de jure government. They're not, although they continue to act as the de facto government. Technically, from a constitutional legality point of view, Canada has been in a state of anarchy since Dec. 11, 1931. The "Government of Canada" is just the biggest, best-organized syndicate playing out its own perverted whims in this lawless and ungoverned northern wasteland. Of course, they don't teach anyone that in the syndicate-run schools, so most people (except some die-hard Quebec Nationalists) have no idea...
Had you watched it, you might have learned that we don't actually know how many Native Canadians were murdered by the government, but the highest estimate is somewhere in the vicinity of 80 million...
Wow. You watched an hour-and-45-minute documentary in only 16 minutes, and still had time to post a super clever reply? I think you may be skipping some of the requisite material...

If I send a legit copy of something I have the copyright on to a friend, using the internet, and the ISP records a copy of my traffic at the government's behest, aren't they engaging in piracy?
Surely they could make this into some sort of a reality TV gameshow. "So you think you can publish!" People from the general public could read the various works, and vote by phone for who gets kicked out...

Also, where is Below the Root?

Yep, that's the weasel language they use to sidestep the fact that they failed to take the fuckin' puck and skate towards the goal...

Canadian Genocide is, in some ways, worse than the Nazis. Harper is just the latest figurehead propping up the genocidal, colonial regime for HRH Liz II: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6637396204037343133
