Flashback: The Beer Summit July 12, 2016 Dianny Beer Summit, Cambridge Police, Henry Louis Gates, Narcissist Obama, Obama's war on cops Remember the White House Beer Summit from July 30, 2009? Oh, yeah. It was the big publicity push after Barack Obama blundered into the Cambridge Police Department’s arrest of Harvard Professor Henry Louis Gates. Never wanting to let a crisis go to waste, the White House staged the event as a way to portray Barack Obama as the Great Healer — the unifier who would bridge the gap between the Cambridge Police and Gates. But that wasn’t the actual purpose of this Beer Summit. No. The real reason it was held was to somehow stop the bleeding Obama himself caused when he couldn’t keep his damn mouth shut. Had Obama simply stayed the hell out of what was a local news story, there would have been no need for this staged Beer Summit. But Obama — narcissist that he is — had to stick his Nosy Parker nose into the story, accuse the Cambridge police of acting stupidly, and turned what should have been a non-story into a national news event. The Beer Summit wasn’t to mend fences between Henry Louis Gates and the Cambridge Police. It was to repair Obama’s own reputation. Unfortunately for Barack, the White House official photographer captured an image that seemed to do the opposite. Yup. There he is, Mr. Caring. Mr. Great Healer, striding ahead of the crippled old man with a cane while the “behaving stupidly” Cambridge police sergeant James Crowley helps the old man down the stairs. This one official picture reveals far more about Barack Obama than the White House intended. If a picture is worth a thousand words, not one of those thousand words revealed here lead one to believe Barack Obama is the Great Healer or Unifier of the People. No. Instead, he is exposed as a narcissistic, self-centered prick who can’t be bothered with the common courtesies one would expect from a Healer or Unifier. And the man who was painted as behaving stupidly is the one who shows basic respect. Whenever I hear anyone refer to the Beer Summit, this is the image that pops into my head. Not the one of Obama, Biden, Crowley and Gates seated at the outdoor table hoisting up their glasses of beer in a toast. But this one. The Beer Summit occurred on July 30, 2009 — just seven months into Obama’s first term in office. And like so many things Obama has done, it did more to inform me of the true measure of this man. I have always been one who believes in the saying, “Actions speak louder than words.” And Obama’s actions have always revealed the truth. This arrogant, oblivious, disrespectful punk who strides ahead of the others, this is the real Barack Obama. Not the actor playing a part in the scripted photo op. Some of you may be thinking, “So what? Why bring this up now?” But you know exactly why. Barack Obama is going to exploit the tragic death of five police officers in Dallas to push through his agenda. For him, it is a crisis that must not go to waste. Their lives mean nothing to him. Their sacrifice means nothing to him. The grief of their families or the community means nothing to him. All that matters to Barack Obama is what use he can get out of their deaths. If you suffer through listening to his speech today, keep in mind this picture from the Beer Summit. Keep in mind that everything Obama does is in service to himself and his agenda. The people, their lives — even the lives lost — are nothing more than props. Useful tools to promote himself.

A recent study of a mysterious stone in Sweden revealed Vikings were already concerned about a climate catastrophe more than 1,200 years ago. By Maddy Savage and Benoît Derrier19 June 2020 Sweden is one of the world’s most climate-conscious cultures. In elementary school, children learn about topics like ecology and conservation. In recent years, Swedish activist and teenager Greta Thunberg has become the leading face of a global movement against the climate crisis and inspired millions of other people around the world to take action. But climate change may have been something that’s been on Swedes’ minds far longer than people have imagined – even worrying the Vikings. A group of archaeologists, linguists and religion and climate experts have teamed up to analyse the inscriptions of the Rök Stone, a raised, inscribed memorial stone found in the Swedish province of Östergötland in the 1600s. Their study, published earlier this year, suggests Vikings were concerned about a climate catastrophe 1,200 years ago. Standing at more than 2.5m tall, the Rök Stone is a 5-tonne piece of granite with the longest known runic inscription in stone. It features 725 runes, the characters used in the Viking language, that, among other things, reveal verses about the heroism of Theodoric the Great, a king of the Ostrogoths in the 6th Century. Believed to have been erected in the 9th Century, the stone is incredibly well-preserved and it is considered the most famous runic monument of the Viking Age. For more than a century, researchers have been trying to decipher the stone’s etched inscriptions. The study published this year showed that the runes allude to a cold climate crisis that happened between 536 and 550AD – some 300 years before the Rök Stone was created. During this time, a series of volcanic eruptions spewed so much ash into the sky that it caused the sun to virtually disappear. This led to abnormally cold summers in the Scandinavian peninsula, resulting in crop failures and hunger. It is estimated that at least 50% of the local population died because of the crisis. This traumatic event might have helped shape the myth of Ragnarök. The story describes a series of events, including obstruction of the sunlight and the Fimbulwinter, or “the Great Winter” – ultimately leading to the end of civilisation.
