This is almost laughable. These supposed terror threats are in reality completely exaggerated scare tactics used to push the threat of non existent cave dwelling ninjas. Al Qaeda was created by our government to fight the Soviets in Afghanistan, as admitted by multiple mainstream news outlets. Iraqi officials have claimed that captured insurgents have told them of a plan to commit suicide attacks in the United States and Europe. This has prompted government officials to contact state and local authorities about the threat and to remain vigilant and look for any suspicious activity.

He was indicted along with Kilpatrick and three others in a federal racketeering case that accuses him of being part of a criminal enterprise that extorted money, accepted bribes and rigged city contracts.

Dec 16 10:49 FBI: ‘HAVE YOU NOW OR HAVE YOU EVER TRAVELLED TO ISRAEL/PALESTINE?’ Tags: * DICTATORSHIP * ISRAEL * PALESTINE The trip I took last summer was to Israel and Palestine. I am Jewish and wanted to see first hand what life is like for Israelis and Palestinians. If I went on the standard tour to Israel, I would not be shown how Palestinians live. So I went on a tour that showed me both worlds, Israel, and the Israeli occupied Palestinian West Bank. I went with 2 Palestinian-American friends. You would think Jews and Palestinians going together to visit Israel and Palestine is something the U.S. government would encourage. Instead, we are now being ordered by the FBI to go before a Grand Jury for going on that trip. The US government says it supports peace between Israel and Palestine. It says it supports separate Israeli and Palestinian states. » * 1 comment * ^ Dec 16 10:34 Mitchell proposes 'parallel' but separate U.S. talks with Israel, Palestinians Tags: * ISRAEL Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was to convene his inner forum of seven senior cabinet ministers on Thursday morning, to discuss a new proposal by the United States’ Middle East envoy George Mitchell aimed at restarting indirect talks between Israel and the Palestinians. A memo to George Mitchell: these talks cannot possibly produce any progress for either side. It is crystal clear what Israel wants and what the Palestinians want. Palestine wishes to become a nation, and have Israel retreat to its 1967 borders. Israel wants the Palestinians to leave any area in which they now live, and claim that as part of greater Israel. There you have it. » * 1 comment^ Dec 16 10:26 Paper Declares TSA Scanners Don't Work Tags: * DICTATORSHIP Ironically, it was the purported effectiveness of the scanners that security officials touted in order to assuage concerns over the use of the invasive scanners. Two physics professors at the University of California, Leon Kaufman and Joseph W. Carlson, contend that is not the case. In a recent paper published in the Journal of Transportation Security, Kaufman and Carlson assert that the body scanners can easily be fooled. So in light of the facts that these back scatter full body scanners can be easily fooled; that they can increase the chances for cancer in people who fly frequently, or people handling the equipment,why are they still being purchased and used?!? The answer is simple, and twofold. First, Michael Chertoff (remember that guy?!? Former head of Homeland Security) and OSI, the company manufacturing these units, are making millions of dollars off them. And in this country, money trumps everything else. The second reason is that the US government is looking for every way possible to cow Americans into accepting every capricious whim the government wishes to exercise against them. What Janet Napolitano and her minions have done here, for all practical intents and purposes, has been to obliterate the 4th Amendment against unreasonable search and seizure with the grope/scan requirements for airline travel.

(As they yell for someone to come and grope me with gusto, and "someone" always happily obliges).

German Chancellor Angela Merkel balked at boosting or making more flexible use of the EU’s 750 billion-euro ($1 trillion) emergency fund, as leaders neared an accord on the tool to contain future debt shocks and the European Central Bank armed itself with more capital.

Large swathes of Afghanistan remain in danger of falling to the Taliban and Pakistan is still secretly supporting the insurgency, according to U.S. intelligence experts. The grim assessment of the nine-year war is in start contrast to the upbeat view of defence chiefs. Just give me a minute, please, to wrap my head around this: is this the same Afghanistan characterized by the President's assessment that the Taliban is "diminished" to the point where the US will be in Afghanistan at least another 4 years?!?

Dec 16 09:48 U.S. rethinks strategy for an unthinkable attack Tags: * CURRENT EVENTS Suppose the unthinkable happened, and terrorists struck New York or another big city with an atom bomb. What should people there do? The government has a surprising new message: Do not flee. Get inside any stable building and don’t come out till officials say it’s safe. The advice is based on recent scientific analyses indicating that a nuclear attack is much more survivable if you immediately shield yourself from the lethal radiation that follows a blast, a simple tactic seen as saving hundreds of thousands of lives. Even staying in a car, the studies show, would reduce casualties by more than 50 percent; hunkering down in a basement would be better by far. This is the Obama administration's answer to the "duck and cover" drills, mandatory for California schools in the 50s. However, the one point they avoid completely to help people cope with such a disaster is suggesting they have a supply of potassium iodate on hand. As reported at: http://www.y2knorth.com/pot_iodate.html The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) stated July 1, 1998 in USE OF POTASSIUM Iodate IN EMERGENCY RESPONSE: "Potassium Iodate, if taken in time, blocks the thyroid gland's uptake of radioactive iodine and thus could help prevent thyroid cancers and other diseases that might otherwise be caused by exposure to airborne radioactive iodine that could be dispersed in a nuclear accident." What strikes me is the timing of this interest in educating the US public about surviving a domestic nuclear attack. One has to wonder if some in the bowels of power in DC aren't thinking about some sort of domestic nuclear "false flag", to be blamed on the villain du jour, to get us off and running into yet another war. Dec 16 09:48 Who Is the FBI Really Trying to Entrap? Tags: * COVER-UP/DECEPTIONS/PROPAGANDA * DICTATORSHIP The FBI’s war of entrapment amounts to a huge extortion scheme targeting the American people. The object is to terrify the public into surrendering their civil liberties in a twilight struggle with a mostly nonexistent domestic enemy. “These are high crimes, as high as they come, which, in a just world, would warrant many counts of impeachment for both chief executives responsible: presidents Bush and Obama.” Dec 16 09:45 INSIDE STORY: THE MORAL CORRUPTION OF ISRAELI SOCIETY Tags: * ISRAEL * PALESTINE This was one of my first concrete experiences in the West Bank in which I was able to see just how soldiers viewed Palestinians. It was as if they were not fully human or at least, not as human as Jews. Dec 16 09:45 THE VERDICT IS IN ~~ NO TO PALESTINIAN STATEHOOD Tags: * ISRAEL * PALESTINE “The US reaffirms strong opposition to any attempt to establish or seek recognition of a Palestinian state outside of an agreement negotiated between Israel and the Palestinians,” the motion says, also stating that “real and lasting peace could only be achieved through direct negotiations between the two sides”. As things stand there is only ONE side…. Israel. The US Congress should be ashamed of itself! Sooooo, if the official US policy is no statehood for Palestine, then all those "negotiations" were just hoaxes to convince the American people to go along with all the billions of dollars sent to Israel in support of a "two state solution." Dec 16 09:39 A Galaxies Cluster Older Than Possible! Scientists say Tags: * SCIENCE/HEALTH/CLIMATE/NATURE It is a confirmation that brings havoc among astrophysicists! If are correct the conclusions of Stefano Andreon, of INAF-Astrophysical Observatory of Brera (Italy) and Marc Huertas-Company, of the Astronomical Observatory of Paris-Meudon (France), reported today on Astronomy & Astrophysics this news may lead to the revision of the most reliable models of galaxy formation and galaxy clusters. The data collected by two astrophysicists about JKCS041, confirm that fact, the cluster of galaxies "miracle" is really old, so old that it can not exist in accordance with what is believed about the universe today. Talk about timing! This just came in. Getting past the mechanical translation, what this article says is that a fully-formed cluster of galaxies has been discovered at a distance that should be impossible according to the theory of the Big Bang. No doubt those "scientists" who have drunk the Vatican Kool-Aid are hard at work to explain why even this discovery should not be used to question the divinely revealed truth of a universe brought into existence in a moment of supreme creation by Quetzalcoat (or whoever they are calling it this week). Dec 16 09:32 South Korea announces new military drills Tags: * KOREA South Korea will conduct naval fire drills near a flashpoint with the North that resulted in the deaths of four people, military officials said Thursday. The South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff announced the exercises will take place in the seas southwest of Yeonpyeong Island on a day to be announced between December 18 and 21. The actions of the South Korean government do not at all appear to be the actions of a country wishing to soothe tensions in the region. Dec 16 09:30 THE "BIG BANG" IS JUST RELIGION DISGUISED AS SCIENCE Tags: * RELIGION/ATHEISM * SCIENCE/HEALTH/CLIMATE/NATURE In 1929, a Cal-Tech astronomer named Edwin Hubble observed that objects which appeared to be much further away showed a more pronounced shift towards the red end of the spectrum. Scientists building on Hubble's discovery concluded that the farther an object was away from Earth, the faster it was receding, and calculated the relationship between distance and velocity, called the "Hubble Constant" and concluded on the basis of this one observed fact and the assumption that there was no other explanation for that observed fact that the universe was expanding. I am relinking this article and encouraging readers to repost everywhere in light of the flood of articles reporting observations that contradict the theory of the Big Bang and the "epicyclic" efforts of scientists to reconcile the new facts with their religious delusions. » * ^ Dec 16 09:29 Obama war review: Taliban, al-Qaida diminished Tags: * AFGHANISTAN President Barack Obama's expansion of the war in Afghanistan has eroded the power of the al-Qaida terrorists who attacked America in 2001 and the resurgent Taliban militants who gave them cover, according to his own government's review. The findings ensure that Obama will stay the course, with U.S. forces to remain at war through 2014. Forgive me, but by what standards is this administration assessing the situation in Afghanistan so that they can collectively characterize the Taliban here as being "diminished" with a straight face?!?!? The only folks "winning" here are the drug lords and the defense contractors!!

It should come as little surprise that foreign tourism to the US is way down. Basically ever since the Patriot Act, visiting the US has become a huge pain for foreign tourists, and with our lovely new "we see you naked or we touch your private parts" strategy for airline passengers (thank you, TSA), it appears that things are getting even worse. So, if you're the US government, how do you respond? Do you start thinking about modifying such policies to make visiting the US less unwelcoming? Do you start thinking about more effective, but less insulting security procedures? Do you start looking at why those foreign tourists are staying away in droves? The answer appears to be no, no and no. I know this is a total waste of time, but I sent the following email to the local newspaper, the Staradvrtiser. I hate to say I told you so … no, wait… actually I rather like it, but this article confirms what I have been emailing you about (and you have ignored) for years. Hawaii’s devastated tourism industry is the direct result of the abuses heaped upon foreign travelers by the TSA. Here are the facts. 1. Michael Chertoff as head of Homeland Security mandated massive security procedures for all US airports. 2. Michael Chertoff then left public office and founded the Chertoff Group, which makes millions of dollars selling those very same systems and services to airports. 3. Complaints about the intrusive searches and X-rays are countered by the Crotch Bomber, the Shoe Bomber, and the Bandini Bomber, all of whom failed to actually do anything, and which in hindsight appear to have been publicity stunts staged for the sole purpose of promoting further sales of scanners and x-ray machines. 4. The US Government insists these scanners are safe, but then this is the same government that insisted shoe-store fluoroscopes were safe in the 1940s and 1950s. The US Surgeon General actually created educational films promoting the use of these machines for proper foot health. Then in the 1960s, shoe store salesmen started dying of cancer. Even then the last shoe store fluoroscope was not removed until 1981! The government’s excuse was that the effects of the X-rays were not fully understood. This brings us to the present day situation with the terahertz scanners, a new technology also not fully understood. The government is telling us all they are safe, but both Los Alamos Laboratories and MIT have conducted studies that prove terahertz waves damage DNA through induced resonant vibrations. This is a phenomenon that TSA did not test for when evaluating the machines. Seehttp://www.medgadget.com/archives/2010/01/study_looks_into_potential_sid... 5. TSA is now refusing to make public the results of whatever testing they did actually do. See http://www.naturalnews.com/030655_TSA_X-rays.html 6. Safety and security of travelers is not the agenda of the US Government. This is proven by the scandal now breaking around the world that Boeing 737NGs built from 2001-2007 were built with substandard and illegal structural parts, with the cover-up involving the FAA and Department of Justice. At least three crashes of 737NGs involved the faulty parts. See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IaWdEtANi-0&feature=player_embedded So, again I ask; is the StarAdvertiser really a news organization? Are you going to tell the people of Hawaii what is really going on and why their lives and businesses have been destroyed? Or will you persist in ignoring the important to focus on the trivial, which means will you continue to lose your readership? When will you do your traditional duty to the people to report on government wrongdoing? » * 1 comment * ^ Dec 16 08:33 U.S. Rethinks Strategy for the Unthinkable Tags: * COVER-UP/DECEPTIONS/PROPAGANDA The "unthinkable" in this case may be a false-flag attack using a nuclear weapon, since nobody will get hot and bothered for war by crashing a plane into a building.

The Warkworth woman didn’t expect to get hit for nearly $100 of HST monthly when buying her usual $750 shipments of medical marijuana. But the taxman has been digging into her pocket ever since the HST came into effect in July. “It’s ridiculous,” said Baker-Hicks, 52, who became licensed to purchase marijuana last year. “I am charged $97.50 per shipment. The pills I have to take from my doctors, I don’t have to pay HST on them,” she added. “Here, the doctor signs it. That’s how they fill out the cards — they have to put how many grams you get for the month. It’s the same thing as a prescription.” In the case of prescription drugs, a patient pays only a dispensing fee. "Let me tell you how it will be; There's one for you, nineteen for me.

Where are they getting the money to fund these settlements and buy-backs? From confiscating and selling YOUR homes! And just how are they able to confiscate your homes? Because the US Government gave tax credits to corporations that encouraged them to send high paying American jobs to other countries, removing the ability of millions of Americans to make their mortgage payments, thus setting them up to have their homes taken to save the bankers, while tricking Americans into thinking it was all their own fault!

Dec 16 05:08 Inside the moral corruption of Israeli society By: poorrichard Tags: * ISRAEL * PALESTINE After being arrested in a Palestinian demonstration near Hebron some time ago, I was handcuffed and blindfolded then sat in the direct sun along with another Israeli activist. After some time, an IDF commander arrived on the scene and asked one of his soldiers, “why are those two in the sun?” The soldier reported that he just put us next to some Palestinians that were arrested in the same demonstration. The commander, clearly upset with his young soldier, ordered that we be moved to the shade because ‘they are Jews.” Then he personally inspected the zip-tie handcuffs of the Palestinians, making sure that they were as excruciatingly tight as possible. This was one of my first concrete experiences in the West Bank in which I was able to see just how soldiers viewed Palestinians. » * Dec 16 04:35 Study Confirms That Fox News Makes You Stupid By: poorrichard Tags: * CORPORATE MEDIA * COVER-UP/DECEPTIONS/PROPAGANDA Yet another study has been released proving that watching Fox News is detrimental to your intelligence.

For years he and others speaking for the Israeli authorities have been adept at getting out their message about the Israel Defense Forces' exemplary military tactics and superior morality, about Hamas being a "terror" organization, about the number of rockets fired into northern Israel, and — more recently — about how Israel's punishing economic blockade of Gaza has "eased" since the summer. » * Dec 15 23:50 The PA's ultimate act of resistance By: sabbah Tags: * ISRAEL * MIDDLE EAST * PALESTINE An international battle for recognition of a Palestinian state must be based on a clear vision and preparedness to confront Israeli actions. For international support alone will not lead to the creation of a Palestinian state. Regardless of whether Palestinians opt for a one- or two-state solution, they cannot avoid a battle to end the occupation under which they currently live. The PA cannot be taken seriously as long as it accommodates Israeli terms and demands. Israel continues to prevent the movement of goods and people, to conduct raids and arrests in the West Bank and East Jerusalem and to strike at the Gaza Strip. Thus a prerequisite for any significant Palestinian move must be an immediate halt to security coordination between Israel and the PA.

Dec 15 22:28 Go Privacy? Tracking Your Every Move Through The Internet By: Alex2245 Tags: * CURRENT EVENTS Its no secret anymore; Online advertising is lucrative because it is sociologically representative of the individual. Traffic habits, economic status , and now geographic location can be accessed fairly easily by big business or the federal government. In 2008/2009, Microsoft Users’ IP addresses were used to identify when a person moved their place of residence, and where they moved to. The chief issue here is that a system such as this would enable certain advertisers (ex. Google ) to be able to subvert the new “do not track” legislation being deliberated over in congress. The first step was categorizing IP addresses as “travel” if they are located 250 miles or more away from the users home or “home” for residential areas.
