On Monday evening, Palin's former staff in the Alaska governor's office asked the state's attorney general for their 15th postponement to requests to release nearly 25,000 emails exchanged by the former governor, her husband and her staff, MSNBC reported. The requests were made by several news organizations, including NBC News, MSNBC.com, The Associated Press, Mother Jones, Pro Publica and the Juneau Empire, in 2008 after Sen. John McCain picked her as his vice-presidential candidate. State regulations allow the attorney general to approve a delay if information released in public records would hurt the office of the governor, and three different attorneys general have received requests from the office to delay the release of the emails since Palin was in office. This time, the governor's office has asked for a delay until May 30, 2011. » * 2 comments * Dec 31 11:20 IMF - International Mother Fuckers - Protest Signs From The Best Anti-Bankster Rally Of 2010 (PICTURES) By: Pitchfork Tags: * CURRENT EVENTS * DICTATORSHIP * ECONOMY * PROTESTS/REVOLUTION The IMF sign is #3 I believe...Look for that one...

The games: finding illegal items and explosives in carry-on bags; successfully picking locks on difficult-to-open luggage; and spotting a would-be terrorist (in this case Covenant Aviation Security's president, Gerald L. Berry) on security videos. "The bonuses are pretty handsome," Berry said. "We have to be good - equal or better than the feds. So we work at it, and we incentivize." Some of the nation's biggest airports are responding to recent public outrage over security screening by weighing whether they should hire private firms such as Covenant to replace the Transportation Security Administration. Sixteen airports, including San Francisco and Kansas City International Airport, have made the switch since 2002. One Orlando airport has approved the change but needs to select a contractor, and several others are seriously considering it. The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority, which governs Dulles International and Reagan National airports, is studying the option, spokeswoman Tara Hamilton said. For airports, the change isn't about money. At issue, airport managers and security experts say, is the unwieldy size and bureaucracy of the federal aviation security system. Private firms may be able to do the job more efficiently and with a personal touch, they argue. » * Dec 31 10:53 63 Percent of Americans Oppose War In Afghanistan By: kdtroxel Tags: * AFGHANISTAN * CURRENT EVENTS * IRAQ * POLITICS/ELECTIONS/CORRUPTION * PROTESTS/REVOLUTION * WAR/DRAFT/VETERAN AFFAIRS BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Opposition to the war in Afghanistan is at an all-time high, with 63 percent of the public now opposed to U.S. involvement there, according to a new CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey. Just 35 percent of survey respondents say they still support U.S. involvement. The increase in opposition to U.S. involvement comes as pessimism about how the war is going is rising. According to a poll done Dec. 17-19, 56 percent of the public believes that "things are going badly for the U.S. in Afghanistan." TEA PARTY: 52 percent favor, 45 percent oppose.

Her friend, Gwendolyn Faye, 19, said the group had turned the warehouse—which had no utilities—into a home, with beds and cooking facilities. Rachel Park, 27, said those who died were artists, welders, musicians; some had plans to open a bicycle collective. The deadly blaze—the worst in New Orleans in almost four decades—was one of six such fires across the metropolitan area that night. It serves as a grim exposure of the worsening plight of the homeless, and of the desperate conditions facing young people in particular. Billions for Israel; billions for wars; and absolutely nothing left over for the American people. What's wrong with this picture?!? EVERYTHING. » * 1 comment^ Dec 31 10:39 Military Resistance 8L 17: Military Kid Drugged to Death Tags: * WAR/DRAFT/VETERAN AFFAIRS A psychiatrist at Fort Hood’s Darnall Army Medical Center prescribed the antidepressant Celexa. Daniel also saw a psychologist there. Doctors added to and changed Daniel’s drug regimen, but his problems grew worse, said his mother, Tricia Radenz. Daniel started cutting himself and once used his own blood to write “the end” on a bathroom wall at school. One day in band class, he began hallucinating and ran into the hall, where teachers found him crouched and hitting and scratching his face. On June 9, 2009, Daniel hanged himself from a bunk bed in his home. This never should have happened to this kid, or any other child of a military family. Blind faith in the medical establishment is absolutely foolish, particularly in light of the fact that these medications are generally not prescribed for children. If your child, or children of people you know and care about, are being prescribed these drugs, immediately ask about side effects, and if the prescribing physician is unwilling, or unable, to tell you, get yourself a PDF - physician's desk reference - which will inform you of the risks. Most generally, physicians only know what the drug salespeople's literature tell them. "Talking therapy", intelligently coupled with a vetted nutritional approach , can be potentially far safer modalities of dealing with depression than most of the drugs out there. http://www.acudoc.com/Depression.PDF » * 1 comment^ Dec 31 10:20 TV Crew Covering President Claims Mistreatment Tags: * DICTATORSHIP * HAWAII * PROTESTS/REVOLUTION * WHITE HOUSE The women said police vehicles and up to five officers surrounded the car, demanded IDs and registration without explanation.

No one, not even the bank's own traders, wanted to buy the supposedly safe portions of the mortgage-backed securities Merrill was creating. Bank executives came up with a fix that had short-term benefits and long-term consequences. They formed a new group within Merrill, which took on the bank's money-losing securities. But how to get the group to accept deals that were otherwise unprofitable? They paid them. The division creating the securities passed portions of their bonuses to the new group, according to two former Merrill executives with detailed knowledge of the arrangement. » * Dec 31 10:12 Chris Whalen: BOTH Bank Of America & Wells Fargo Will Need Another Taxpayer Bailout Within 12 Months By: Pitchfork Tags: * CURRENT EVENTS * ECONOMY * VIDEO You will hear that Lehman's estate owns Whalen's mortgage and they can't legally foreclose.

Pundits and the press tell us so. And how do the pundits and the press know? Until recently, they typically pointed to the number 2500 – that’s the number of scientists associated with the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Those 2500, the pundits and the press believed, had endorsed the IPCC position. To their embarrassment, most of the pundits and press discovered that they were mistaken – those 2500 scientists hadn’t endorsed the IPCC’s conclusions, they had merely reviewed some part or other of the IPCC’s mammoth studies. To add to their embarrassment, many of those reviewers from within the IPCC establishment actually disagreed with the IPCC’s conclusions, sometimes vehemently. » * 1 comment^ Dec 31 09:43 Iraq Research links rise in Falluja birth defects and cancers to US assault Tags: * IRAQ A study examining the causes of a dramatic spike in birth defects in the Iraqi city of Falluja has for the first time concluded that genetic damage could have been caused by weaponry used in US assaults that took place six years ago. The research, which will be published next week, confirms earlier estimates revealed by the Guardian of a major, unexplained rise in cancers and chronic neural-tube, cardiac and skeletal defects in newborns. The authors found that malformations are close to 11 times higher than normal rates, and rose to unprecedented levels in the first half of this year – a period that had not been surveyed in earlier reports. Your tax dollars at work, folks: doesn't it make you feel proud?!? And by the way, the level of genetic damage to these kids has been characterized by some researchers as worse than what happened with the US bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. http://www.countercurrents.org/eley230710.htm » * 1 comment^ Dec 31 09:43 Freezing Brits steamed over new green boilers Tags: * CLIMATEGATE * GREAT BRITAIN Five years ago the global warming crowd and their comrades in the Labour Party mandated the use of new green technology boilers in Great Britain. Government and environmental experts said that the ‘condensing boilers’ would not only greatly reduce the consumer’s carbon footprint, but would also lower their heating bills. Saving money and saving the planet, what could be better? The UK Daily Mail reports that during the recent record cold spell in Great Britain, tens of thousands of people were without heat due to a serious flaw in the new boiler’s design. This whole global warming hysteria is about selling you things you do not really want, such as carbon credits that are the feedstock for Enron-like scams, global government that is already clearly fascistic, ethanol fuels that provide less power cost more and wreck your car fuel system, windmills that take more power to keep from freezing than they provide, "Green" batteries that cost more while providing less power, and now "green" heating systems that will not actually heat in the middle of a cruel winter the global warming cultists assured us was a thing of the past. How many more times will you stand for these frauds being foisted at you before you decide enough is enough? I am beginning to think Elizabeth Báthory had at least one good idea. Let's strip the global warming cultists naked, wet them down, lock them in an iron cage outside in the middle of Cumbria overnight, and ask them the next morning if they think the Earth is getting warmer. » * 1 comment^ Dec 31 09:37 Judge warns of ‘Orwellian state’ in warrantless GPS tracking case Tags: * DICTATORSHIP Police in Delaware may soon be unable to use global positioning systems (GPS) to keep tabs on a suspect unless they have a court-signed warrant, thanks to a recent ruling by a superior court judge who cited famed author George Orwell in her decision. In striking down evidence obtained through warrantless GPS tracking, Delaware Judge Jan R. Jurden wrote that "an Orwellian state is now technologically feasible," adding that "without adequate judicial preservation of privacy, there is nothing to protect our citizens from being tracked 24/7." Great for this judge! However, this ruling will definitely be reviewed by the Supreme Court, and I wouldn't bet against the reinstituion of warrantless GPS tracking as a result of that decision, given its current constitution. » * 1 comment^ Dec 31 09:26 Hard freeze expected overnight in Tucson area Tags: * CLIMATEGATE » * 1 comment^ Dec 31 09:25 Blizzard hits Arizona Tags: * CLIMATEGATE » * 3 comments^ Dec 31 09:19 Fuel prices, fury soar in Bolivia Tags: * ECONOMY * PROTESTS/REVOLUTION * SOUTH AMERICA » * 1 comment^ Dec 31 09:17 The man who 'invented' Global Warming and thinks killing YOU will save the planet!

While this article (like all Israeli controlled media) is trying to demonize opposition to Israel's policies as "anti-Semitism", the real point here is that in Germany, where holocaust education is mandatory and holocaust questioning a crime, the public are still not buying Israel's status as permanent victim deserving of perpetual financial support. Today's Germans realize they had nothing to do with whatever the Nazis did and they are tired and angry of being treated as if they did. So, good for the Germans for standing up against this exploitation and I wonder when the Americans will get their heads our of their own butts and look at how Israel has subverted this nation. The USA helped STOP Hitler. The US was the first nation to recognize the state of Israel. Ever see any gratitude from Israel? No! It is always "do more give more obey more" followed by attacks on our ships, bulldozers running over aid workers, murdering Americans in international waters accompanied by constant lyingm, cheating, stealing, spying, bribesm blackmail, false-flag terror, war-mongering, whining and screeching of "Anti-Semite" at anyone who points out the barbaric behavior.

By: kdtroxel Tags: * CONSUMER RIGHTS / PRODUCT REPORTS * SCIENCE/HEALTH/CLIMATE/NATURE Animals in factory farms are given doses of antibiotics -- both to keep them alive in stressful, unsanitary conditions, and to make them grow faster. The practice leads to new strains of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, such as the now-widespread form of staph (MRSA) known as ST398. It's important to realize that antibiotic-resistant disease like MRSA is a man-made problem, created by the excessive use of antibiotics. Medical overuse of antibiotics is one aspect, but the greatest, and most hidden, factor is the excessive use of antibiotics in food production. Granted, conventional medicine still needs to curtail its prescriptions for antibiotics, but even if you use antibiotics judiciously you're still exposed to great amounts of antibiotics from the foods you eat. Studies have shown that when you reduce the use of antibiotics in meat production, human disease caused by antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria is significantly reduced as well. As an adult, you have three to four pounds of beneficial bacteria and yeast living within your intestines. These microbes compete for nutrients from the food you eat. Usually, the strength in numbers that beneficial bacteria enjoy both keeps the ever-present yeasts in check and causes them to produce nutrients such as the B vitamins. However, every time you swallow antibiotics, you kill these beneficial bacteria within your intestines. When you do so, you upset the delicate balance of your intestinal terrain. Yeasts grow unchecked into large colonies and take over, in a condition called dysbiosis. » * Dec 30 11:20 Palestine Today: A Reality of Justice Denied Tags: * PALESTINE On December 23, Israeli forces shot and killed Salama Abu Harhish without warning while herding sheep and goats in Beit Lahya.

At the entrance of the museum, they were surrounded by a group of Jewish Israeli youth who recognized them as Arabs.

They demand, imposing their will unilaterally when denied, often by force. Both countries also deplore peace. They prevent it by provoked conflict, blamed on governments they oppose, even democratically elected ones. Israel is now so extremist that Haaretz writer Zeev Sternhell described Netanyahu's Knesset as "an assembly line of legislation that is dragging Israel down to the bottom of the list of civilized countries," amounting to might makes right. As the worldwide chorus swells for recognition of a Palestinian state, look for Israel to embrace a "scorched earth" policy (particularly in Gaza and the West Bank) to prevent this from happening. » * 2 comments^ Dec 30 10:55 The Enemy Within By: poorrichard Tags: * ISRAEL The phrase “enemy within” brings to mind the image of a shadowy spy stealing military secrets.

Now in discussion in parliament, the amendment would clear the way for Saleh to become president for life. The US government is again supporting another tinpot dictator who has absolutely no regard for the welfare of his people. If someone in the US State Department isn't squirming right now, they should be, in terms of the ramp-up of aid we're giving Selah at this moment to quell insurgency in Yemen. When peaceful revolution is impossible, violent revolution is inevitable. The US is attempting to with Saleh what it did with the Shah of Iran, Pinochet in Chile, Batista in Cuba; and we can completely appreciate what "triumphs" those situations were for US foreign policy! » * 3 comments^ Dec 30 10:30 State Dept Slams UN Security Council Resolution Against Israeli Settlements Tags: * ISRAEL The US State Department today condemned efforts by the Palestinian Authority to bring a resolution before the UN Security Council pointing out the illegality of the Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, but declined to answer questions on whether the US would veto the resolution. Israel’s Foreign Ministry mocked the resolution, saying it proved how desperate the Palestinians were, and cautioned European nations which might support such a resolution not to give the Palestinians false hope that the settlements would stop being expanded into their territory. Israel's foreign minister has just tipped his hand with the observation that the passage of such a resolution might "...give the Palestinians false hope that the settlements would stop being expanded into their territory." These illegal Israeli incursions into Palestinian land will not end until they have been completely absorbed by Israel! » * 1 comment^ Dec 30 10:29 JAIL POISONING ATTEMPT: ACCUSED ISRAELI SERIAL KILLER, “MYSTERY MAN” Tags: * ISRAEL Abuelazam faces charges of murdering three people and trying to murder five others for a series of stabbings in the Flint area.

Indeed, the closest they come to evidence is to point to Iran’s very real civilian program and suggest that Iran’s inherent untrustworthiness fills in the blanks that years of effort and billions of dollars in spying could not. I'm amazed that so many Americans could be hoodwinked by the boldfaced lie about Iran's alleged nuclear weapons program, and concerned that 24% of the Americans polled believed that a military strike against Iran would be a positive thing to do. Unfortunately, due to lack of critical thinking ability on the part of most US citizens, all it would take to turn US sentiment around would be one false flag operation, blamed on Iran, to get a shooting regional war going; a war which could, very possibly move from regional to global in a heartbeat. » * 1 comment^ Dec 30 10:15 Michael Rivero's Predictions for 2011 (in no particular order) Tags: * HUMOR AND SATIRE Those $100,000 wristwatches all the rage on Wall Street will be exposed as cheap counterfeits from Taiwan.

This did not, however, appear to mean anything in terms of violence. This appears to be the "pacification phase" of the war, almost a decade in, to "calm" the way for the construction of the Trans Afghanistan Pipeline, which is slated to begin construction in 2012, and be ready to deliver natural gas from Turkmenistan in 2014. This "pacification" will come with a very brutal price tag for the Afghan people, and is yet another demonstration of how this very publicly funded war is, at the end of the day, only for potential private profit. Dec 30 10:04 Dodging Repatriation Tax Lets U.S. Companies Bring Home Multinational Cash Tags: * CURRENT EVENTS At the White House on Dec. 15, business executives asked President Obama for a tax holiday that would help them tap more than $1 trillion of offshore earnings, much of it sitting in island tax havens. The money -- including hundreds of billions in profits that U.S. companies attribute to overseas subsidiaries to avoid taxes -- is supposed to be taxed at up to 35 percent when it’s brought home, or “repatriated.” Executives including John T.

The failure to put Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab on the watch list last year renewed concerns that the government's system to screen out potential terrorists was flawed. Even though Abdulmutallab's father had told U.S. officials of his son's radicalization in Yemen, government rules dictated that a single-source tip was insufficient to include a person's name on the watch list. » * 2 comments Dec 30 09:39 Top 10 Survival Downloads You Should Have By: ActivistPost Tags: * EDUCATION Modern Survival Online There are tons of good downloads in the Survival Database Download section of this website.
