But he has been repeatedly refused because the ledgers contain the identities of police informants – and the Metropolitan Police insist that revealing the information could compromise their attempts to gather information from “supergrasses” and other modern-day informants. Revealing the names of police informants dead a century could compromise the informants of today? Excuses don't come much lamer than that one! I would suggest that the files reveal that Scotland Yard knew who the Ripper was, or had him right in front of their eyes and missed him, and do not want the public embarrassment. On the other hand, the film, "From Hell", starring Johnny Depp postulates an intriguing theory for which there is apparently some historical support; that the murdered women were witness to a clandestine royal marriage that would have put a Catholic in line for the throne. » * 3 comments * Permalink^ May 17 11:49 MUST SEE VIDEO - Tennessee Cops Fight Each Other To Steal Your Money, No Charges Required By: Pitchfork Tags: * CURRENT EVENTS * ECONOMY * VIDEO This is uniquely and seriously deranged, not to mention unconstitutional.

As the web form below demonstrates, photography is now considered suspicious and possibly criminal, the same as theft and physical intrusion. The Spokane County Sheriff’s Office may actually believe a certain number of photographers are working for al-Qaeda – or the Sovereign Citizens movement – but the actual reason for listing such normally innocuous behavior as suspect is to get subjects of the state to realize they are living in a dictatorship… minus all the Stalinesque statues.

The biggest of all of course is, why? Common sense, combined with critical and analytical thinking, cannot produce a rational answer for the onslaught of legislation, expansion of government agencies known for their incompetence and waste, and the complicity of state governments. What is this all about?... May 17 10:16 Selective Memri Tags: * CORPORATE MEDIA * COVER-UP/DECEPTIONS/PROPAGANDA * ISRAEL The organisation that makes these translations and sends them out is the Middle East Media Research Institute (Memri), based in Washington but with recently-opened offices in London, Berlin and Jerusalem. Its work is subsidised by US taxpayers because as an "independent, non-partisan, non-profit" organisation, it has tax-deductible status under American law. Memri's purpose, according to its website, is to bridge the language gap between the west - where few speak Arabic - and the Middle East, by "providing timely translations of Arabic, Farsi, and Hebrew media". Despite these high-minded statements, several things make me uneasy whenever I'm asked to look at a story circulated by Memri. First of all, it's a rather mysterious organisation. ... In the steady flood of pro-war propaganda streaming from your TV sets, you will see MEMRI cited as the source for some rather outrageous claims. After you read this analysis, you will understand why. Remember, Iran became an Islamic Republic in 1979. From that day to this, they have not invaded any other country. Neither Israel or the US can make the same claim.

Luis Moreno-Ocampo, International Criminal Court Prosecutor, said, “Based on the evidence collected, the prosecution has applied to pre-trial chamber one for the issuance of arrest warrants against Moammar Muhamad abu Minyar Gaddafi, Saif Al-Islam Gaddafi and Abdullah al-Sanoussi.” But what is the evidence? The press release on the website of the International Criminal Court makes frequent reference to “direct evidence” but fails to cite any of this evidence in detail. This NATO assault on Libya has absolutely nothing to do with Gaddafi's alleged "crimes against humanity, and everything to do with its oil, gold, water, establishing a central bank, and keeping the Chinese and Russians away from its oil resources. » * Permalink^ May 17 09:31 Indiana Supreme Court Is WRONG!

The plan, which would be activated without President Asif Ali Zardari's consent, provoked an angry reaction from Pakistan officials last night. Barack Obama would order troops to parachute in to protect key nuclear missile sites. These include the air force's central Sargodha HQ, home base for nuclear-capable F-16 combat aircraft and at least 80 ballistic missiles. Although this is not sourced, I have no doubt that such a scenario has been run by both the Pentagon and the White House.

El-Erian in speech at a PIMCO forum on growth. “Others are flashing orange, like the US, and already require future sacrifices, most likely through a combination of higher inflation, austerity and, importantly, financial repression,” said El-Erian, who classifies financial repression as seeking to impose negative real rates of returns on savers. Memo to anyone in the US government who actually has swallowed the Koolaid that Americans are going to put up with this for very long. We didn't put this country in the financial mess it's in; you did, with funding these immoral and illegal, publicly funded wars, ultimately for private profit. We said no to TARP, but you voted for it anyway. Government with consent of the governed, at this point in the Republic's history?!? I think not. What we have been dealing with for quite some time, thank you very much, is taxation without representation. Oh yes, we go through the heavily vote-rigged Kabuki theatre of elections every so often, with very little difference between the alleged Democrats and Republicans. But we know one thing which is an absolute certainty: the people controlling the legislation which gets passed arenot We the People, but the large corporations which acquire Congressional representatives through overt and covert contributions to their campaigns. That is why a great majority of the legislation which gets passed does fantastic things for these corporations, but precious little for ordinary working citizens. Now fiscally and morally bankrupt, through your bad decisions, including allowing the Fed to create "quantitative easing" (read: inflation, which is destroying any savings Americans might have had), you think you can again come to the well of further taxes on American citizens. I assure you: that well is now dry. You've allowed the offshoring of the jobs which enabled us honestly to qualify for a mortgage, and many of us are homeless, courtesy of that fact.

A synthetic chemical similar to the active ingredient in marijuana makes new cells grow in rat brains. What is more, in rats this cell growth appears to be linked with reducing anxiety and depression. The results suggest that marijuana, or its derivatives, could actually be good for the brain. In mammals, new nerve cells are constantly being produced in a part of the brain called the hippocampus, which is associated with learning, memory, anxiety and depression. Other recreational drugs, such as alcohol, nicotine and cocaine, have been shown to suppress this new growth. » * 2 comments May 17 07:59 White House unveils global cyberspace strategy By: ActivistPost Tags: * COMPUTERS/INTERNET/SECURITY * CURRENT EVENTS * WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON (AFP) - The White House unveiled a set of policy proposals Monday for international cooperation in ensuring an open and secure Internet.

Tags: * CORPORATE MEDIA * COVER-UP/DECEPTIONS/PROPAGANDA * IRAN * ISRAEL The Iranian government is moving forward with the construction of rocket launch bases in Venezuela, the German daily Die Welt wrote in its Friday edition. Since the 1979 Iranian revolution and the downfall of the US Puppet Ruler the Shah, Iran has been an Islamic state. In that interval of time, 1979 to the present, Iran has not invaded anyone. Not once. People of all religions live in peace in Iran, even Jews, who find life so comfortable in Iran they refused an offer by the government of Israel to emigrate! In the same period of time, Israel, a self-declared Jewish state, attacked Iraq in 1981, bombing the power station at Osirik, claiming it was a clandestine weapons factory. Subsequent examination of the ruins following the 2003 invasion proved Israel had lied. In 1982, Israel invaded Lebanon. This led to the Massacres at Sabra and Shatilla. In February 2003 Israel stages incursions into Gaza and Nablus. In September 2007 Israel bombs Syria, again insisting they are destroying a clandestine weapons laboratory. Again there is no evidence to support Israel's claims. In 2006, Israel attacks Lebanon, killing 1200, mostly civilians, several UN observers, and littering the landscape with land mines on their way out.In February 2008 Israel again raids Gaza, killing over 100. HAMAS agrees to a cease fire and keeps it for 6 months until November 4, when Israel again attacks, killing 6 HAMAS members, launching operation CAST LEAD. 1300 Gazans, mostly civilians, are killed. Israel loses 13 soldiers. Violations of international law include the use of White Phosphorus incendiary bombs against civilians and non-military targets. The United Nations investigates, but Israel refuses to cooperate. In May 2010, Israel attacks an international aid flotilla bring food and medical supplies to Gaza in international waters. 9 people are murdered including an American from New York. Add to it the numerous assassinations such as last year's embarrassment in Dubai, and you get the picture, even without the overtly racist and apartheid statements coming from Israel's rabbis.
