That’s how you start convincing them.” This was the comment made by a Marine officer to the Washington Post for its April 16 story about “signs of progress” for President Obama’s surge strategy in southern Afghanistan. Many hundreds of young men from the Alikozai area were killed in an onslaught by U.S./NATO troops in months leading up the agreement, according to the Washington Post account.

These wells likely pose an even greater environmental threat than the 27,000 wells in the Gulf that have been plugged and classified officially as "permanently abandoned" or "temporarily abandoned." Those sealed wells were first tallied and reported as a major leaking threat in an investigative report by the AP in July.

The announcements, said to be made by BP in conjunction with DHSS, were recorded and the video is embedded on this page. “The Department of Health and Human Services is sorry. DHHS has failed to intervene robustly after the Exxon Valdez disatser, 911, and Hurricane Katrina,” the man introduced as DHHS Undersecretary stated, following with, “But this time, we are not repeating the error of inaction.” » * 1 comment * * Permalink^ Apr 21 13:02 Esther Pollard 'hurt' by Obama's silence on husband Tags: * ISRAEL Israeli agent's wife says keeping him in jail hurts peace process; US president's Seder "oblivious to cries of Jewish captive." Israeli agent Jonathan Pollard’s wife Esther expressed a deep sense of hurt and bewilderment on Wednesday at the lack of response by US President Barack Obama to a personal request from President Shimon Peres to release her husband ahead of Pessah, the festival of freedom. Webmaster's Commentary: Memo to Esther Pollard: don't you even dare to attempt to equate your husband's prison sentence with the plight of Hebrews held captive in Egypt (That most likely happened to the Hyksos people, but I digress). Since you appear to be suffering from selective memory regarding why your husband has been jailed for life,please let me refresh your memory. You husband sold out American intelligence to Israel, and was well compensated for it. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/fr/576453/posts He compromised US intelligence assets in the old Soviet Union. http://johndenugent.com/enationalist/netanyahu-squeeze-america-dry-and... "Pollard’s Scientific Liaison Unit (LAKAM) handler Rafael (“Rafi”) Eitan spirited Pollard’s intelligence take off to Israel where some of it was traded to the Soviet Union in return for an increase in the number of Soviet Jews permitted to emigrate to Israel." Given these realities, I would suggest that Mrs. Pollard quietly rejoice in the fact that her husband has not been executed as a spy and traitor against his country. » * 1 comment * Permalink^ Apr 21 12:39 Pro-Palestinian activists take to sea to protect Gaza fishermen Tags: * ISRAEL The International Solidarity Movement (ISM) launched a fishing boat Wednesday with the aim of protecting Gaza fishermen from what they termed Israeli violations, and ending Israel's naval siege of the coastal enclave.

The crew of the Oliva are to be provided with cameras to document activities and 'the suffering of Gaza fishermen in their sea,' said a Spanish ISM activist who gave her name as Enji.

But the Obama administration has yet to publicly urge one of its key allies in the Middle East to step down. Its policy has fallen far short of the strong actions that Washington took in Egypt and in Libya, where it is using its military and diplomatic might to press for a new leadership. Since that violent March day, the attacks on protesters have continued. Webmaster's Commentary: To the Yemen human rights community: please remember that the US only supports human rights and democracy when those in power believe that such a movement will bring about a specifically desired geopolitical outcome. This hypocrisy isn't new: it's been part and parcel of a US foreign policy formulated over the years by people who pathologically refuse to understand that when peaceful revolution is impossible, violent revolution is almost inevitable. Therefore, the US government absolutely doesn't want to upset the geopolitical apple cart in Yemen, Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia, because it is very possible that new governments in these countries will not consider the US their "friends", and for very good reasons, not the least of which is a consistent enabling of Israel, no matter what harm or damage that country does, particularly regarding the Palestinians. What those in power in the US fail to realize is that there may well be a time when they cannot stop the forward movement of these political reform and human rights movements in the Middle East, and elsewhere. This reveals a catastrophic failure of imagination. » * Permalink^ Apr 21 12:30 ROTHSCHILDS FINISH OFF GADDAFI By: portos Tags: * CURRENT EVENTS * LIBYA * VIDEO Do You believe Reuters Song "Libya has NO DEMOCRACY?"

The Pakistani government demanded last week that the US stop launching air strikes against their territory, and withdraw hundreds of CIA operatives. Which makes it surprising that early in his visit Admiral Mullen appeared on television and accused Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency of ties with terrorist groups, and that those ties have directly gotten US soldiers killed. Webmaster's Commentary: I didn't realize until now that one of Admiral Mullen's great gifts appears to be the ability to put both feet in his mouth and talk simultaneously! And on television, no less! If in fact, Admiral Mullen, what you said is true, would it not have been just slightly more diplomatic to convey your concerns in private with various governmental officials, backed up by every piece of hard evidence you had? But a serious, honest memo to the Zardari government and the Pakistani military: In the eyes of those in the bowels of power in DC, Pakistan has morphed from friend to frenemy and is just about at the stage where it is rapidly becoming yet another "enemy" of the US. And ladies and gentlemen in the Pakistani government, you are all acutely aware that Zardari has called for preparations for the next election. The Pakistani people are angry because of all the "aid" money paid by the US which they see as "blood money" for the government and military to look the other way while innocent Pakistanis get killed by the drone attacks, which the US has insisted they will not stop. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20110420/pl_nm/us_pakistan_usa_drones Your constituents are very much going to remember this when they go to the polls to vote. » * 1 comment * Permalink^ Apr 21 12:03 Analysts: Libya War Could Drag On Indefinitely Tags: * LIBYA More and more countries are dispatching advisers to East Libya with a hope of currying favor with the rebel faction in Benghazi.

Washington took the bold step of committing military force, but not enough to win. The administration waited to apply very limited military force until it was almost too late, and now, the official says, it has painted the U.S. "into a corner." In the resulting stalemate, Libyan rebels and civilians are being ruthlessly pursued and killed while the United States, in effect, stands helplessly by. The White House wanted the Pentagon to come up with a low-cost regime-change plan for Libya. Ideally, this strategy would have toppled Col. Muammar Gaddafi without bogging the U.S. down in another inconclusive foreign adventure. And by no means could the plan have included young American infantrymen advancing under fire across the sand.

Tags: * COVER-UP/DECEPTIONS/PROPAGANDA Scouring the anthrax-laced mail that took five lives and terrorized the East Coast in 2001, laboratory scientists discovered a unique contaminant — a tiny scientific fingerprint that they hoped would help unmask the killer. One senior FBI official wrote in March 2007, in a recently declassified memo, that the potential clue "may be the most resolving signature found in the evidence to date." Webmaster's Commentary: The FBI had one real suspect, Lt. Col Phillip Zack, who was actually caught entering the lab where the anthrax used in the letters was kept, without proper authorization after losing his job at the lab over a racially-motivated attack on an Egyptian co-worker Dr. Ayaad Assaad. As reported in the January 20, 2002 Hartford Courant, Dr. Zack was witnessed entering the lab by a security guard, let in by a colleague, Dr. Marian Rippy. Dr. Rippy told interviewers she could not recall allowing Dr. Zack into the lab, but the security system showed evidence of an attempt to erase the record of the entry. But the FBI pointedly ignored Dr. Zack and his clandestine visit to the lab. The FBI first decided Steven Hatfill was their prime suspect on the recommendation of Dr. Barbara Rosenberg, despite their being zero evidence of his involvement. Then the FBI briefly considered the above mentioned Dr. Assaad solely on the basis of an anonymous accusing letter. Finally, the FBI settled on Bruce Ivins, again without any evidence, and once Dr. Ivins was dead and no longer able to defend himself, closed the case. Throughout it all the FBI went out of their way to NOT investigate the only suspect actually documented to have been on the lab with the anthrax without authorization. As a side note, the fact that the anthrax letters were intentionally made to look like they were created by semi-literate Muslims proves that Muslims were and are being framed for terror attacks inside the United States. » * * Permalink^ Apr 21 09:07 Did FBI Target Wrong Man as Anthrax Killer?

The professor therefore ruled out the possibility that Western countries might sell weapons to the rebels or deploy ground troops.

In fact, according to Lester Brown, “one third of the world’s cropland is losing topsoil faster than new soil is forming through natural processes”. #3 Due to U.S. ethanol subsidies, almost a third of all corn grown in the United States is now used for fuel. This is putting a lot of stress on the price of corn. » * 1 comment Apr 20 11:41 US power company abandons reactor construction Tags: * FUKUSHIMA DISASTER A US power company says it will abandon plans to build nuclear reactors in Texas, amid the crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant in Japan.

The radiation exposure limit for workers at nuclear power plants is 100 milli-sievert/year, but the limit has been raised to 250 milli-sievert/year to deal with the Fukushima I Nuke Plant accident. According to the government sources, the higher limit is being considered because it is getting increasingly difficult to have enough workers to work on the plant. Also, the radiation inside the Reactor buildings is high, and the annual limit of 250 milli-sieverts may not be high enough to achieve the goals laid out by the TEPCO road map. » * 1 comment * Apr 20 10:46 Blankfein Reaps $19 Million As Bonuses Return To Goldman By: Pitchfork Tags: * CURRENT EVENTS * ECONOMY * VIDEO Details on Wall Street pay from Bloomberg. --- Apr 20 10:43 MAYBE THE STUPIDEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN: Taxpayer Funded Job Center Spent Tens Of Thousands On Superhero Capes For The Unemployed By: Pitchfork Tags: * CURRENT EVENTS * DICTATORSHIP * ECONOMY * VIDEO This story is almost beyond words... » * 1 comment Apr 20 10:42 The One-Percenters Tags: * ECONOMY "The upper 1 percent of Americans are now taking in nearly a quarter of the nation's income every year.

Tags: * COVER-UP/DECEPTIONS/PROPAGANDA It just seems too strange to be true. But in the frozen wastes of Siberia two walkers claim to have found the body of an alien. On its side with its mouth slightly agape, the slender, badly-damage body lies half-buried in snow close to Irkutsk, Russia. The area is a known UFO hotspot and video of the alien's corpse has become a massive worldwide hit with hundreds of thousands of followers after being posted on the internet. Webmaster's Commentary: "Forget about the economy, the jobs, the crumbling infrastructure, the unwinnable wars, the slavery to Israel, oil in the gulf, radiation in the Pacific, that commie who was my real dad; I got space aliens for you! SPACE ALIENS! Oooooooo! Scary, scary scary space aliens! You gotta do what I say now or those space aliens will abduct you and probe your anus. Honest!" -- Official White Horse Souse (Ahem) As you can see from the above link to the Google search page, the net is being flooded with stories about space aliens and UFOs, just when the Obama administration is trying to rebuild the loyalty of Americans at a time when the number of Americans who still trust the man can be counted on the fingers of just one hand of a very clumsy butcher. That the CIA planned to use a fake space alien invasion to try to trick the population of Earth into a global dictatorship ("for their own good" of course) is well known. Following the panic caused by Orson Welles' "War of the Worlds" Broadcast, the US Government began to study whether using such a device to scare the public into a specific political direction might be practical. Under the code name Operation BARSOOM an isolated town in New Mexico was used as a test bed. The project managers covertly took control over the telephone wires leading in and out of the town, faked shortwave radio broadcasts and jammed real shortwave signals to isolate the town. Then the story of a space invasion was fed to the town population and the reactions studied. From this study it was concluded that a faked invasion of space aliens would prove a powerful tool to unite the Earth's population through terror and xenophobia, a plan quite literally from science fiction; in this case a 1963 episode entitled "The Architects of Fear" from "The Outer Limits." In 1967, a fake alien invasion staged by engineering students actually convinced the British Government a real invasion was imminent! Nobody can deny that the US Government has dug its own grave with the constant stream of lies fed to the population. The American people are tired, broke, weary of wars, well aware that their lives are being looted for Wall Street bankers and Israel. Yet another war on yet another unoffending nation will not allow the US Government to regain the trust of the American people. Like the clip from Michael Moore's "Canadian Bacon" above, our government is thrashing around to find a new enemy to wave at us, and in desperation appears to be ready to try the space alien schtick. The memo that 'proves aliens landed at Roswell'... released online by the FBI FBI releases Roswell memo about ‘three bodies of human shape’ FBI Confirms Roswell UFO Incident FBI Opens Secret Document ‘Vault’ — Does it Prove Aliens Landed in Roswell? FBI memo: Roswell saucers were real FBI destroyed thousands of UFO reports, 1949 memo reveals Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah... Now, don't get me wrong. As an astronomer I am convinced that intelligent life exists throughout the universe. Some day it will exist here on Earth, if we apply ourselves! :) But despite a childhood filled with science fiction movies filled with gorgeous women in tight spandex... ... I understand that our biochemistry evolved here on Earth which is why we find it so comfortable. Other life, evolving in a different environment, will likely find the Earth very unpleasant and certainly NOT run around a strange planet totally naked like E.T.! (Faster-than-light travel and they haven't invented pockets?) In short, and with all due respect to Stephen Hawking's warnings about the danger of alien contact, what do we have here on Earth that an alien life form could possibly want, or find worth the cost of getting here, getting shot at, and then shipping it back to wherever they come from? The biggest reason to doubt that an advanced alien civilization has visited Earth is that we are just not worth the effort. Do you stop your car to look at every ant hill you pass? As for Roswell, the United States was already on the habit of using UFOs and flying saucers as a screen for classified projects. What crashed at Roswell was a large array of balloons carrying large panels of aluminum foil and an early form of Mylar. It was part of Project MOGUL, and while superficially a weather balloon, its real purpose was to gather particles in the upper atmosphere to detect and analyze Soviet Nuclear testing. That was something the US needed to keep very secret from the USSR. Thus, the story of a crashed UFO was issued by the Air Force Public Relations Office, who may have in hindsight underestimated the impact such a press release was going to have. So that was then and this is now, and it appears than in a last desperate gasp to cling to power (and your wallet), the collapsing US Government is going to "Wag the Alien" and scare us all into obedience (or at least distract us from the real issues of the 2012 election). » * Permalink^ Apr 20 10:20 30,000 Confidential Government Documents About The Gulf Oil Spill Made Available By Greenpeace By: malterwitty Tags: * GULF OIL DISASTER » * 1 comment Apr 20 10:18 PNAC: A NOMINALLY AMERICAN CONSPIRACY (must-see video) By: femalefaust Tags: * 911 * AFGHANISTAN * AFRICA * ASIA * ASSASSINATION * CANADA * CHINA * COMPUTERS/INTERNET/SECURITY * CORPORATE MEDIA * COVER-UP/DECEPTIONS/PROPAGANDA * CUBA * DICTATORSHIP * ECONOMY * EDUCATION * EGYPT * EUROPE * FRANCE * GERMANY * GREAT BRITAIN * HIDDEN HISTORY * IMMIGRATION/NAU/GLOBALISM * IMPEACHMENT * IRAN * IRAQ * ISRAEL * KOREA * LEBANON * LIBYA * MIDDLE EAST * PAKISTAN / INDIA * PALESTINE * POLITICS/ELECTIONS/CORRUPTION * PROTESTS/REVOLUTION * RELIGION/ATHEISM * RUSSIA * SAUDI ARABIA * SCIENCE/HEALTH/CLIMATE/NATURE * SOUTH AMERICA * SYRIA * TORTURE/WAR CRIMES * TURKEY * VIDEO * VOTE FRAUD * WAR/DRAFT/VETERAN AFFAIRS * WHITE HOUSE * WMD From a presentation by Daniel Abrahamson; background and sources at above link.

Webmaster's Commentary: In a militarily unwinnable war, by any logical evaluation,the reason our very brave men and women in uniform are still fighting, dying, and getting maimed for life boils down to one word: money. Banks make money on the huge debts the US and NATO have to incur to continue fighting this illegal and immoral war; the defense contractors providing mercenaries and equipment are making money; the drug lords are making money (anyone out there old enough to remember "Iran-Contra"?); and the US Senators and Congressional Representatives are making money through their investments in stocks those defense contracting companies sell on Wall Street. The folks funding and building the Turkmenistan/Afghan/ Pakistan pipeline will make money. Those men and women in Afghanistan? Expendable; after all, it's never the kids of the execs in big corporations or Congressional representatives. The taxpayers here at home? Expendable, including the offshoring of their jobs and illegal foreclosures on their homes to make sure that banks can pay back the "monetized securities" they sold other banks with bundled, shaky mortgages. Our crumbling infrastructure? Expendable. But I would offer this Federal government a caveat: you cannot throw the people of this country under the bus of creating a very publicly funded and fought war for private profit indefinitely. The American people are at their breaking point, and they are becoming furious at a government which bails out banks, while their jobs get outsourced, and are soon made homeless in illegal foreclosures to pay off other banks' demand for compensation on fraudulent "mortgage-backed securities." The big question is, what form the fury of the American people will take against a government which, for a majority of American people has become...expendable. » * 1 comment * Permalink^ Apr 20 10:16 Tepco Must End ‘Whack-a-Mole,’ Cover Fukushima Reactors as Typhoons Loom By: Ness Tags: * FUKUSHIMA DISASTER Tokyo Electric Power Co. must speed up plans to cover reactors at its crippled nuclear plant and drain tainted water to prevent more radiation leaks as Japan’s cyclone season approaches, engineering professors said.

That's the choice the federal Transportation Security Administration offers any law-abiding citizen who wants to fly -- and the fact that we're willing to put up with it shows that there's something seriously wrong in America today. Two items last week put the problem in stark relief. First was the viral video of a 6-year-old's recent encounter with the agency in New Orleans. As ABC News described the clip, "It shows a TSA agent rubbing the young girl's inner thighs and running her fingers inside the top of the girl's bluejeans." Webmaster's Commentary: Note that these procedures, besides being an in-your-face violation of the 4th Amendment to the Constitution, have never, ever enabled the TSA for find a terrorist; not once! This isn't about stopping terrorism; this is about cowing American citizens into accepting whatever threats and demands the Federal government decides to put upon them. We live on an island, so to get anywhere with relative speed, we are compelled to fly. But having been through this procedure, going from Kauai to Oahu, I have to tell you that the gropedown was one of the most demeaning, humiliating experiences I have ever encountered this lifetime. And because I have some understanding of what damage the terraherz radiation does to surface DNA, as reported here: http://www.technologyreview.com/blog/arxiv/24331/ I will have to endure the gropedowns until the TSA no longer exists. And there is an interesting question to be asked here; if researchers knew in 2009 what the damage and potential risk for cancer exists from this exposure, why are the TSA workers who work with these full body xray scanners day in in and day out, not informed?!? It is because they are completely expendable; when one has to leave for cancer treatment and potentially cannot come back to work, in this economy, there are hundreds willing to take their place. » * 2 comments * * Permalink^ Apr 20 09:45 Finnish election has implications for euro crisis Tags: * ECONOMY * EUROPE The result of Sunday’s Parliamentary elections in Finland pushed the country into the centre of the crisis of the euro zone.
