Half Ontario parents refuse HPV vaccine: health official
Charlie Fidelman, The Montreal Gazette Published: Thursday, November 22, 2007
The Ontario vaccine program that started this fall is floundering, a leading health official said yesterday.
"There are lessons to be learned from the Ontario experience. You don't want to undermine the program before you start," said Dr. Ian Gemmill, the medical officer of health for Kingston, Frontenac and Lennox & Addington Public Health.
Parents are refusing Gardasil, a newly-developed vaccine to prevent human papillomavirus (HPV), a sexually-transmitted infection that is identified as the major cause of cervical cancer.
"It's not something that typically we've seen with any other vaccine program we've had," said Dr. Gemmill, who has served on national and provincial committees on communicable diseases and immunization. Fewer than 50 per cent of parents -- in some Ontario areas it's 28 per cent -- have agreed to vaccinate their girls, Dr. Gemmill told a conference on public health held in Montreal.
"This is a huge disappointment," said Dr. Gemmill, who blames popular media and scientific journals for stoking unfounded fears of the vaccine.
The federal government is making available $300 million to the provinces for HPV vaccination.
Ontario's announcement that it will offer a vaccine to girls in Grade 8 came in August, a day after an article in the Canadian Medical Association Journal argued it is premature to offer the immunizations on a universal basis.
Lead author and McGill University epidemiologist Abby Lippman warned that the long-term effects of the Gardasil vaccine are not known.
Ms. Lippman argued that the disease isn't an epidemic and regular Pap tests are effective in detecting cervical cancer in early, treatable stages.

FDA staff urge warnings for two flu drugs
By Kim Dixon 12 minutes ago Nov 23, 2007
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Food and Drug Administration staffers are recommending new warnings about psychiatric events observed in some patients taking Roche Holding AG's Tamiflu and GlaxoSmithKline Plc's Relenza, according to documents released on Friday.
An FDA advisory panel will review the recommendations for the anti-viral influenza drugs at a meeting next week. The FDA held a similar meeting two years ago in response to reports of a dozen deaths of children in Japan who had been taking Tamiflu.
Experts then found no evidence of a direct connection between the drug and the deaths, although the FDA did ultimately update Tamiflu's label to add a caution urging close monitoring of patients for abnormal behavior such as delirium or self-injury. In documents prepared for the meeting next week and posted on the FDA's Web site, agency staff recommended that Tamiflu's label be strengthened to note: "In some cases, these behaviors resulted in serious injuries, including death, in adult and pediatric patients."
The FDA staff also reviewed Relenza, a drug in the same class as Tamiflu, recommending its label be changed to note "reports of hallucinations, delirium and abnormal behavior" observed in some patients taking the drug.
The current Relenza label has no label warning related to psychiatric events.
The FDA staff said the evidence is "conflicting" as to whether the events are medication-related, a manifestation of disease or a combination of the two.
Tamiflu has been more widely used in Japan than in the United States, and there is some evidence that the Japanese are more vigilant about reporting side effects, the FDA has said.
Tamiflu, known generically as oseltamivir, is a pill, while Relenza, generically zanamivir, is inhaled.
A Roche spokesman said no causal relationship between Tamiflu and these psychiatric events has been proven.
"Roche has extensively investigated the issue and is conducting ongoing clinical and nonclinical studies. Roche takes all adverse events reports very seriously," spokesman Terence Hurley said in a statement.
About 48 million people have taken Tamiflu worldwide, including 21 million children, since approval in 1999, he said.
A Glaxo spokeswoman said a review of premarketing and post-approval trial data showed no worrying safety signals on patients taking Relenza. The drug is a not a major revenue-generator for UK-based Glaxo.
FDA staff based its recommendations on a review of nearly 600 cases of neuropsychiatric events reported by patients on Tamiflu and 115 cases of such events by patients taking Relenza.
The FDA staff will present the advice to the advisory panel of experts meeting on Tuesday, November 27. The agency typically takes the advice of these panels but is not bound by them.
JAPAN PROBE
Japan in March warned against prescribing Tamiflu to those ages 10 to 19 as more than 100 people, mostly young, showed signs of abnormal behavior after taking the drug.
Earlier this year, Japan broadened its probe of Tamiflu to look at flu drugs Relenza and amantadine, after reports of abnormal behavior among young patients.
FDA staff reviewed recent side effect reports on amantadine and rimantadine, another flu drug in amantadine's class, but recommended no label changes. Amantadine already has a strong warning about suicide attempts and an increase in seizures seen in patients on the drug, while rimantadine notes seizure-like activity and hallucinations.
Tamiflu was having lackluster sales as a drug to prevent and treat seasonal flu but got a second life when it was the first drug to show real efficacy in treating and preventing bird flu. The FDA staff documents for the advisory meeting were posted at:
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. investigates the government cover-up of a mercury/autism scandal
ROBERT F. KENNEDY JR. Posted Jun 20, 2005 12:00 AM
In June 2000, a group of top government scientists and health officials gathered for a meeting at the isolated Simpsonwood conference center in Norcross, Georgia. Convened by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the meeting was held at this Methodist retreat center, nestled in wooded farmland next to the Chattahoochee River, to ensure complete secrecy.
The agency had issued no public announcement of the session -- only private invitations to fifty-two attendees. There were high-level officials from the CDC and the Food and Drug Administration, the top vaccine specialist from the World Health Organization in Geneva and representatives of every major vaccine manufacturer, including GlaxoSmithKline, Merck, Wyeth and Aventis Pasteur. All of the scientific data under discussion, CDC officials repeatedly reminded the participants, was strictly "embargoed." There would be no making photocopies of documents, no taking papers with them when they left.
The federal officials and industry representatives had assembled to discuss a disturbing new study that raised alarming questions about the safety of a host of common childhood vaccines administered to infants and young children.
According to a CDC epidemiologist named Tom Verstraeten, who had analyzed the agency's massive database containing the medical records of 100,000 children, a mercury-based preservative in the vaccines -- thimerosal -- appeared to be responsible for a dramatic increase in autism and a host of other neurological disorders among children. "I was actually stunned by what I saw," Verstraeten told those assembled at Simpsonwood, citing the staggering number of earlier studies that indicate a link between thimerosal and speech delays, attention-deficit disorder, hyperactivity and autism. Since 1991, when the CDC and the FDA had recommended that three additional vaccines laced with the preservative be given to extremely young infants -- in one case, within hours of birth -- the estimated number of cases of autism had increased fifteenfold, from one in every 2,500 children to one in 166 children.

hey [redacted],
no worries, it's just fascism which has worked in dozens of countries, it'll probably work here too since we trust the same media that we say lies to us, but i'd rather it didn't.
the oldest trick in the book is "we're good and they're evil", the romans used it, the british used it on india and africa, bush used it after 9/11... it just means our government can do anything and we cheer for it, including taking away our rights. nasty stuff, but we've seen it for hundreds of years if we remember it.
we don't know much about the "taliban" who shut down the opium crop which pissed-off our drug-dealing governments. they weren't even the enemy and offered to give up bin laden early if there was any proof he did 9/11, but now we'll keep getting stories demonizing them until we're all drugged or drafted.
we used to fight "al-qaeda" who we set up in the 1980's and now hire to attack iran, but they'll keep switching like three-card monty as long as we trust the same media that's lied before.
it's just a pentascript movie, one we've seen before and it's meant to last "100 years" according to rummy and others.
i know, i know, "oceania will always be at war with eurasia..." blah-blah-blah, i just don't feel like playing along and hope if the rest of us know we won't either... :-)

"ron paul knows over 30 years as an honest congressman that the more government gets involved the less problems get fixed..."
. RON PAULITICS: President? Ron Paul Is Risking His Life!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G95u6S9HLDM
.
hey [redacted],
i read the zmag article, i'm afraid the writer doesn't understand how the world works, which means their analysis is flawed. we need to figure this stuff out quick because the more worried people get the more they'll accept deliberately mis-diagnosed problems, the reactions they're told to have and fake solutions - which only makes the problems worse by-design.
that's why i'm sending big emails.
if the media we consume doesn't talk about 9/11 truth, the federal reserve central banking frauds, the north american union and the biggest issues we face, then you know they're controlled. it's too bad, but you can see the current debate isn't constructive.
ron paul knows over 30 years as an honest congressman that the more government gets involved the less problems get fixed, which is why socialism is a band-aid solution invented by the people who want to control us. the "wars" on drugs, poverty, illiteracy and everything else are examples of people pushing for solutions that don't work.
you can give the Native or Indian Affairs Department $100 million in 1960 and $1 billion a year now, but despite 10x as much money the natives are still starving. you can go down the list, including the NGO's that get billions in funds to solve the worlds problems which keep getting worse.
using charity to hide crime is the oldest trick in the book and it still works today.
immigration is a problem when it means the people who come here are meant to drive down wages and be just as poor as everyone else. the U.S. govt. and bank of america is leaving the borders open and giving them loans and more to encourage it, so we can't trust the problems they create and solutions they give us to work in the long-run.
the position of legitimizing "slave-labor" which the left is conned into pushing by the same corporate or foundation-funded media profiting off it doesn't work either. a more sensible policy would be to encourage a free and prosperous mexico we could visit so they could visit us too, but supporting their police state is part of the bigger plan.
no one wants more gun-crime, but gun control doesn't work because criminals don't obey laws and innocent people do, which means the former preys on the disarmed latter. in cities and countries with strong legal gun ownership crime drops a lot, while in those with disarmed poor people they get victimized by criminals and cops sent in after to harass "troubled" neighborhoods. the same liars who lie about iraq, new orleans, millions of poor and the rest don't tell the truth about gun control either, giving us a false debate.
abortion is tricky too since we're used to it, but even the hardest core advocates get squeamish when it's "third trimester" or whatever. if you look at bush sr. pushing it in the 1970's as part of eugenics programs - which is why it was created, you'll see why it's roots are wrong. dr. paul has delivered 4000 babies so hear him out before you condemn him on one issue. while he feels it's wrong he's also said it's a state's rights issue, so individual states can decide. he also feels that it will take time to wean us off government programs and our years of socialization in general, so don't expect a nice guy to screw people easily.
church and state should be separated because otherwise the latter controls the former, just like it has for thousands of years and vice versa. following the u.s. constitution would stop all this nonsense, so dr. paul has the right idea since it gave america relative freedom for 150 years before it was totally hijacked.
i hope that helped, if you'd like i can have a convo on MSN or Meebo about this with you for others to listen to as well, i like posterity and think lots of people can benefit from hearing this kind of dialogue,
cheers! :-) bk

On December 16th, 1773, American colonists dumped tea into the Boston Harbor to protest an oppressive tax. This December 16th, American citizens will dump millions of dollars into the Ron Paul presidential campaign to protest the oppressive and unconstitutional inflation tax - which has enabled a flawed foreign policy, a costly war and the sacrificing of our liberties here at home.
Please join us this December 16th 2007 for the largest one-day political donation event in history. Our goal is to bring together 100,000 people to donate $100 each, creating a one day donation total of $10,000,000.

Our goal is 100,000 subscribers.
Please pledge now. Please spread the word. Thank you.
(Ed note: The goal of the Ron Paul Revolution is not to wait until November '08 for the election or Jan '09 for the new Presidency, but to campaign hard for the Republican Primaries while understanding and promoting the truth he's spoken for 30 years about our corrupt leadership and economic system to escape their attacks on our rights and freedoms now. Use his humble integrity to sell non-believers on the reality catching up to all of us, it's working beautifully so far.)

Fed Predicts Slower Growth, More Jobless
Tuesday November 20, 5:05 pm ET By Jeannine Aversa, AP Economics Writer
Fed Forecasts Slower Growth and More Out of Work Next Year
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The housing collapse and credit crisis will slow economic growth and nudge up unemployment next year, the Federal Reserve said Tuesday in a first-of-its-kind forecast that some economists believe will lead to interest rate cuts early in 2008.
Don't count on a cut in rates at the Fed's December meeting, however, analysts say. The Fed called its rate reduction in late October a "close call" and hinted that its two cuts this year may be sufficient to energize the economy, according to minutes of the Oct. 31 closed-door meeting made public Tuesday.
Policymakers raised concerns at that meeting that inflation might flare up again in the short term, especially in the face of rising energy prices.
(Ed note: Ignore the waffling mumbo-jumbo above designed to keep us hoping for the best while getting hit by the worst. The U.S. Federal Reserve is an unconstitutional private central bank established in 1913 that President Ron Paul wants to abolish for destroying the currency by printing money from nothing, making a dollar in 1950 worth 12-cents today and causing recessions to increase their power. All income taxes are unconstitutional and the money just goes to pay the national debt owned by foreign banks, which only exists because the government doesn't print their own money backed by gold, resources and the goodwill of the people. Getting rid of the Fed would solve 90% of America's problems. Getting rid of central banksters worldwide would solve them all. See: "America: Freedom to Fascism" on DVD or Google Video featuring Ron Paul, former IRS agents, the author of the tax code and many others for how.)

Echoes former world bank leader with prediction of global recession
Steve Watson Infowars.net Tuesday, Nov 20, 2007
A leading economic expert has warned that a global crash and recession is imminent on the back of record highs in real estate, stocks and energy, combined with a devaluation of the dollar and continued "speculative bubble thinking".
Robert Shiller, the Stanley B. Resor Professor of Economics at Yale University told an audience at the annual Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) Week that a sharp downward correction is due in the global markets...
...We are witnessing the unfolding of a crash exactly as predicted by Former World Bank Vice President, Chief Economist and Nobel Prize winner Joseph Stiglitz last year.
Stiglitz agreed that the process of hijacking and looting key infrastructure on the part of the IMF and World Bank, as an offshoot of predatory globalization, has now moved from the third world to Europe, the United States and Canada.
(Ed note: Do NOT let them take millions of jobs, homes, condos and more as part of their plan to take it all. The elite have moved their money out of stocks and into hard assets, they've moved their companies and homes offshore and they're preparing to collapse and loot North America.

Fox News: Host Says Dissenters Should Be Tased - Video

During a discussion about a Code Pink member heckling Hillary Clinton at a recent event, Fox News host Brian Kilmead said that people who confront politicians are "threatening" and should be Tased or "beaten to a pulp," as the establishment media continues to sell the idea that anyone who disagrees with authority should be brutally punished.

MSNBC: Alan Dershowitz calls for 'accountable' waterboarding, says torture 'works sometimes' (Video)
Raw Story | November 19, 2007 David Edwards and Muriel Kane
Law professor Alan Dershowitz has become notorious since 2001 for his advocacy of legalizing torture and his insistence that it is fully constitutional as long as it is not used to compel self-incrimination. He has also been arguing since 2004 for a pre-emptive attack on Iran...
...Dershowitz concluded by insisting again that most world leaders would use torture to prevent another 9/11 but would do it "under the table and hide it. That is the worst response for a democracy. The best response is, if you're going to do something that's god-awful, like torture, at least acknowledge it."
(Ed note: Torturing people for years at Guantanamo and secret prisons isn't making any of the "wars" go better. It's not 30 seconds worth to stop a ticking time bomb like on "24" either. However, it is training people how to torture innocent men, women and children for years for no reason, which can't be good, especially when we're taught to cheer for it in horror movies like "Saw" and others.)
(Ed note: The military has been hijacked for years by the "military-industrial complex", a term President Dwight D. Eisenhower coined in 1961 in his farewell speech from office to warn us. Their hierarchical structure ensures soldiers follow orders even against their own people, like gun-confiscation and detention in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, which was an exercise to make sure.

Supremes to Decide if Second Amendment Means What It Says
Kurt Nimmo TruthNews Wednesday November 21, 2007
“In a decision that could affect gun control laws across the nation, the Supreme Court has agreed to consider whether the Second Amendment protects an individual’s right to carry a gun,” reports ABC News.
* ABC News Link - http://abcnews.go.com/print?id=3892323
Carry? Or possess?
“It has been 70 years since the high court has focused on the meaning of the words ‘right to keep and bear arms’ in the Second Amendment and the case is sure to ignite cultural battles across the country.”
A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed
Seems pretty straight forward to me.
“The Supreme Court agreed to step in because the issue has caused a deep split in the lower courts. While a majority of courts have said that the right to bear arms refers in connection to service in a state militia, two federal courts have said the amendment protects an individual’s right to keep a gun.”
A deep split? Apparently, members sitting in the lower courts have a difficult time reading plain English. The Second Amendment states unambiguously that the right to bears arms “shall not be infringed.”
But then there are people like District of Criminals mayor Adrian Fenty, who states: “Whatever right the Second Amendment guarantees, it does not require the district to stand by while its citizens die.”
In other words, Fenty thinks he can ban guns and he will not “stand by” the Second Amendment.
The District of Criminals has the highest crime rate in the country, surpassing Los Angeles and New York. Is this possible because guns are banned there and the criminals realize they can victimize anybody they want without consequence?
It seems Fenty is standing by while people die.
But then it is not the responsibility of the police to protect the people. It is the duty of the people to protect themselves.
We’ll see if the Supremes agree. Or if they will strip the Second Amendment to its bones.
(Ed note: Pro-Gun and Anti-War is the ONLY sensible position once all the facts are presented. No reasonable person wants more gun-crime, but innocent people obey laws and criminals don't, so cities with gun bans create MORE victims while cities that allow lawful gun ownership have LOWER crime rates. Governments have also historically disarmed their people before killing and enslaving them, including in Nazi Germany, Communist Russia, China, Cambodia and dozens of others. Do you really trust Bush or Cheney or FEMA or Homeland Security? Prepare for general strikes.)
The US prison population has risen eight-fold since 1970, with little impact on crime but at great cost to the taxpayer, researchers say.
BBC News 19 November 2007
There are more than 1.5 million people in US state and federal jails, a report by a Washington-based criminal justice research group, the JFA Institute says...
..."There is no evidence that keeping people in prison longer makes us any safer," said JFA president James Austin.
(Ed note: For all the over-promoted rubbish about Saddam's "rape rooms" in a fairly civilized dictatorship in Iraq, with women's rights and universal healthcare and education before the latest war despite years of bombing and sanctions, there is very little discussion of the "rape rooms" at home in our rapidly growing billion-dollar privatized Prison-Industrial Complex, including this article from BBC News ignored by U.S. news services. Prisoners saw the pictures from Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib and shrugged since they see that stuff every day, with the big difference being they are also used as cheap corporate slave labor, which is why high school drop-out rates and crime are encouraged by the establishment. Prepare for general strikes.)

The Facebook betrayal - users revolt over advertising sell-out
Susie Mesure and Ian Griggs London Independent Sunday November 18, 2007
...Jeff Chester, executive director of the Centre for Digital Democracy in Washington, warned yesterday that Facebook has mounted a "massive invasion of user privacy". He added: "The authorities need to crack down on Facebook and MySpace to stop data collection and make sure people's privacy is respected." He wants regulators, including the European Commission's Privacy Authority, to investigate.
Deborah Pierce, who heads the lobby group Privacy Activism, said: "Users should be concerned. They have no idea who has access to information about them from the site."
In the US, legal experts, such as the University of Minnesota law professor William McGeveran, have queried whether Facebook's ad strategy is even legal. He believes that under a 100-year-old New York privacy law users may be able to sue for damages if their photos are used for advertising purposes without their consent. (Facebook's privacy officer, Chris Kelly, begged to differ.)
(Ed note: Facebook really took off when ex- (?) CIA and NSA employees invested heavily in it. People should realize it's a giant control-grid and surveillance system and a terrible way to spend time by dehumanizing us into forgetting how to communicate using our voice and body language, which makes us less confident when we have to. Men and women are having trouble relating because of this type of suicidal socialization, they're lying and acting more selfish too thanks to the way we're being programmed.)
(Ed note: We forget we shouldn't just say "we have nothing to hide" when they say they're spying on us since privacy is an integral right people fought wars over, including the American Revolutionaries rejecting their obligations to "quarter" or "house" a British soldier if asked. We're being spied on constantly to so the elite can figure out how we act and think to control and program us easier, including creating new marketing schemes to dumb-down and depress us. Prepare for general strikes.)
If you're a Facebook member, a career as a government spook is only a click away.
Since December 2006, the Central Intelligence Agency has been using Facebook.com, the popular social networking site, to recruit potential employees into its National Clandestine Service. It marks the first time the CIA has ventured into social networking to hire new personnel.
The CIA's Facebook page (login required) provides an overview of what the NCS is looking for in a recruit, along with a 30-second promotional YouTube video aimed at potential college-aged applicants. U.S. citizens with a GPA above 3.0 can apply.
"It's an invaluable tool when it comes to peer-to-peer marketing," says Michele Neff, a CIA spokeswoman.
(Ed note: Smug revelations are how spooks launder news of their spying and recruit new "Jack Bauers!" to work for the corporate mafia. The only jobs now available to most are "security" jobs that assume we're all a threat, which means they have to make us a threat to keep them. Prepare for general strikes.)
RON PAULITICS: New Poll Shows Majority Want Immediate Iraq Troop Withdrawal
Zogby poll shows many more likely to vote for an anti-war candidate willing to bring troops home now
Infowars.net | November 19 , 2007 Steve Watson
A Zogby poll commissioned by Alex Jones Productions has revealed that the majority of Americans are more likely to vote for a candidate who wants to begin an immediate withdrawal of troops from Iraq...
...Over 49% said they were more likely to vote for a candidate who would begin immediate withdrawal, compared to just under 41% who said they would vote for staying the course and around 10% who were not sure.
(Ed note: After 10 years of working his ass-off to tell the truth people still can't believe Alex Jones thanks to government-spook snitchcraft and slander, so Zogby Communications Director Fritz Wenzel was his radio show to confirm it though people still might not believe it.

RON PAULITICS: Zogby Spins Poll Results To Marginalize Ron Paul
Ignored Texas Congressman's domination of nearly every category to focus on single Giuliani success
Paul Joseph Watson Prison Planet Tuesday, November 20, 2007
In their press release about the results of a new telephone poll, Zogby chose to marginalize Ron Paul by highlighting a demographic that was won was by Rudy Giuliani, while largely ignoring the fact that the Texas Congressman completely dominated almost every other aspect of the poll...
...Zogby's focus on Giuliani's success in one demographic is completely misleading and obfuscates the fact that Ron Paul won 90% of the categories in the survey. The fact that the headline of the press release trumpeted Giuliani, who distantly lags behind the Congressman in nearly all the key demographics, is a clear case of total spin.
(Ed note: Zogby's Fritz Wenzel said they spun it this way because Giuliani is supposedly leading nationally so they thought it was a better headline, but they're really just trying to keep the money flowing from the establishment. Prepare for general strikes.)
RON PAULITICS: Zogby Poll: NASCAR Fans Favor Ron Paul

On the show, Jenny talked about the increases in autism among children and asked what parents of vaccine injured children have been asking for a quarter century: "What number will it take for people just to start listening to what the mothers of children who have seen autism have been saying for years, which is, 'We vaccinated our baby and something happened."

Dr. Sherri Tenpenny, DO July 15, 2007 NewsWithViews.com
A chilling, consistent pattern exists in stories told by parents:
“My child was happy, healthy and normal. He was walking, learning to talk and interacting with his siblings. He was normal in every way until his one-year well-baby check up. The doctor said it was time for his next round of shots. Unquestioning, the shots were given. Within weeks, he was autistic.”
The reports vary slightly in content and timing, but the descriptions of thousands of children who suddenly regress into the isolated world of autism are eerily the same.
(Ed note: There aren't two sides to this issue once you hear the other one. The more kids get vaccinated the more they get autism, juvenile arthritis and more for the last 25 years with no other factors explaining it. NO vaccines have proven to work in history, so know you can survive the shots, but they won't improve your health and will make you sicker and weaker and dumber over time.)
(Ed note: Science is the new religion, with scientists, doctors, nurses and other "experts" trained like priests to avoid asking questions or looking at history and to just do what they're told by those above them. This is leading to a new scientific dictatorship in the works for a 100 years since Nietzsche said "God is dead", meaning there is no absolute moral authority we can appeal to when someone asks us to commit evil. If you can't say "God wouldn't want me to do that" you might do anything anyone says, which is what's happening, which is why we have to save religion while cleaning it up a bit.)
(Ed note: A good example is "The Rapture" where some Christians believe if the world is destroyed by God they'll be saved, as if they can tell whether it's God or the Globalists destroying us if they don't pay attention to what's happening. It's also the most un-Christian belief in the world to let the other 5 billion people on earth die and go to hell while being happy you're getting saved. Another good example is "Karma" in Hinduism, which reinforces the class-system and teaches people to believe stuff happens instead of teaching them to figure out who's doing stuff to them.)
(Ed note: There's more nonsense in all religions corrupted and controlled by man that's easy to find because it violates universal morality and common sense, so we can save them as integral parts of our culture while moving forward. We can't just say it's bad because there is a globalist plan to destroy religion in favor of selfish "New Age" beliefs and scienfitically engineered moral relativism. Prepare for general strikes.)
Clear links to neurological disorders ignored, removed from animal vaccines but fine for babies
Steve Watson Infowars.net Friday, July 20, 2007
President Bush is to veto a bill that would ban mercury in flu vaccines for children despite its known links to autism and other neurological disorders and despite the fact that he pledged in 2004 to support such a move when campaigning for re-election.
The White House stated on Tuesday that President Bush would veto the FY 2008 HHS-Labor-Education Appropriations Bill because of the cost and "objectionable provisions" such as a measure to ban the use of childhood flu vaccines that contain thimerosal, a mercury-based preservative, a press release from Autism advocacy group Safe Minds on the PRNewswire-USNewswire states.

British Department of Health (DoH) approved the mandatory vaccination of schoolgirls against Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) which is supposedly responsible for causing cervical cancer. The series of three vaccinations are required for girls aged 12 to 13 years old beginning in 2008 with an additional catch-up program for women up to 18 years old to start later...
...The UK joined the ranks of Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Italy, France, Norway, Luxembourg and Belgium which already have vaccination programs in place.

American Parents Kept In The Dark About Vaccine Waiver
Religious and personal objection forms not included in information pack, police followed advocacy reporters to bathroom, kids herded in line to take shots with no regard to medical or vaccine history
Paul Joseph Watson Prison Planet Monday, November 19, 2007
Parents of children in Prince George's County Maryland were kept in the dark about their right to opt out of vaccines as over a thousand kids were herded into a courthouse to be injected while authorities kept a close watch on advocacy groups and reporters who tried to inform parents that there was no law to mandate the shots.
Parents were threatened with fines and jail time last week if they failed to have their children immunized, after schools kicked out kids for not taking the Hepatitis B vaccine.
According to observers who were able to gain access to the courthouse, children with a history of medical issues were not properly screened as parents were simply told to get in line and have their kids take the shots.
(Ed note: Glen Ivey, the state attorney enforcing this, ironically said on The Alex Jones Show that he refuses to vaccinate his kids, a good example of him "just doing my job" while trying to warn us of how crazy his job is getting. Mandatory vaccinations will be first tried on children, then the elderly, then the rest of us in order of who's rights we believe are guaranteed. Prepare for general strikes.)

CANCER RESEARCH: MISSPENT MONEY, WASTED EFFORTS AND UNCONSCIONABLE PROFITS
ANDREW NIKIFORUK Globe and Mail November 17, 2007
THE SECRET HISTORY OF THE WAR ON CANCER By Devra Davis, Basic Books, 505 pages, $33.50
In 1936, the world's cancer experts assembled in Brussels to talk shop. The gathering heard a lot about workshop hazards and environmental toxins. A British scientist, who had studied identical twins, argued that cancer wasn't inherited, but mostly the product of early chemical exposures in life.
A meticulous Argentine showed how sunlight combined with hydrocarbons could sprout tumours on rats. Others explained how regular exposure to the hormone estrogen prompted male rodents to grow unseemly breasts. Everyone agreed that arsenic and benzene were workplace killers, too.
Since then, the cancer establishment has retreated from the truth faster than Canada's commitment to a greener country. What began as sincere investigation into the economic root causes of a complex set of 200 different diseases, at the turn of the 20th century, quickly degenerated into a single-minded focus on treatments after the Second World War, argues Devra Davis, one of North America's sharpest epidemiologists (her previous book, When Smoke Ran Like Water, was a finalist for the National Book Award).
(Ed note: Dr. Royal Raymond Rife cured cancer in the 1920's by using radio waves to isolate and destroy the cells before he was destroyed by Big Pharmacide. His research can be found at - http://www.rife.org/ and other sites, so it's good to learn since doctors today are taught half the population will come down with some form of cancer.

Doctors Are The Third Leading Cause of Death in the US, Causing 250,000 Deaths Every Year
by Joseph Mercola, D.O. | Published 3/15/2000
This week's issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) is the best article I have ever seen written in the published literature documenting the tragedy of the traditional medical paradigm.
This information is a followup of the Institute of Medicine report which hit the papers in December of last year, but the data was hard to reference as it was not in peer-reviewed journal. Now it is published in JAMA which is the most widely circulated medical periodical in the world.
The author is Dr. Barbara Starfield of the Johns Hopkins School of Hygiene and Public Health and she describes how the US health care system may contribute to poor health...

CHEMTRAILS CONFIRMED
by William Thomas Portland Independent Media Center
"Chemtrails" is the term widely used to describe the brilliant white plumes laid down by U.S. Air Force tanker planes photo-identified over North America and a dozen other allied nations.
Unlike normal condensation trails - which form when hot engine exhaust momentarily condenses in the frigid stratosphere like exhaled breath on a cold day - chemical trails linger for hours, turning clear skies into milky haze in a process the U.S. Air Force calls "aerial obscuration"
Chemtrail Ban Sought In Congress
"Chemtrails" also appear in House Resolution 2977. Introduced last October by Ohio Rep. Dennis Kucinich, this bill called for the peaceful uses of space, and a ban on "exotic weapons". Section 7 of the "Space Preservation Act of 2001" sought specifically to prohibit "chemtrails".
Kucinich recently told the Columbus Alive newspaper (Jan. 24, 2002) that despite official denials, as head of the Armed Services oversight committee he is well acquainted with chemtrail projects. "The truth is there's an entire program in the Department of Defense, 'Vision for 2020,' that's developing these weapons," Kucinich told reporter Bob Fitrakis. The U.S. Space Command's 2020 vision calls for "dominance" of space, land, sea and air...
...Canadians were the first to complain about chemtrails to their federal government. On Nov. 18, 1999, NDP Defense critic Gordon Earl petitioned Parliament on behalf of 550 residents of Espanola, Ontario to "repeal any law that would permit the dispersal of military chaff or of any cloud-seeding substance whatsoever by domestic or foreign military aircraft without the informed consent of the citizens of Canada thus affected."
According to CBC Newsworld (Aug 29, 1999), "Many in the community have reported respiratory problems and strange aches and pains. Town council heard that some believe military jets are dropping material over the town as part of a weather experiment" - after laboratory tests confirmed the presence of aluminum in rainwater falling through chemtrails over Espanola five-times higher than provincial health safety limits.
The Ministry of Defense eventually replied, "It's not us."
(Ed note: Cases brought by citizens against chemtrails get as far as the Supreme Court before the government finally admits spraying is going on but it's not them since the U.S. Airforce sprays Canada and vice versa, just like countries worldwide agree to do to avoid legal responsibilities. This is part of the UN Weather Warfare Treaty signed in 1977 among other attacks our health. Prepare for general strikes.)
ASHLAND, Wis. - It was an unlucky day for two squirrels and hundreds of Midwestern power customers.
Brian Elwood, a spokesman for Xcel Energy, said a squirrel came in contact with an overhead transformer and knocked out service to 177 customers Monday. Power was fully restored in just under an hour, and repair crews found the remains of the "unfortunate squirrel," he said.
(Ed note: This story is supposed to make us stupid enough to believe anything as they cut power more often while de-industrializing western civilization now that they've finished with the industrial age and want total control. Prepare for general strikes.)
The best solution is learning about the RON PAUL REVOLUTION to catch up, saying "Hi!" to people and treating each other like human beings instead of paranoid ants, which will help us trust each other during general strikes.
The best solution is to organize as individuals and groups to confront local politicians and businesses on camera to ask them questions, expose their lies, work with who you can and assert your rights now before they are taken away.
The best solution is to spread information about what's happening using emails, networking sites, photocopies, burned DVD's and CD's and more so your city can deal with the problems of a crashing economy and police state to catch us falling.
The best solution is to approach stores, bars, businesses, clubs, churches, colleges, cultural groups, schools and anywhere else people know each other well with information so they can comfortably discuss what they learned immediately.
The best solution is to make presentations, answer questions, leave information and invite people to work with you to move beyond the idea of "do your own research" to "this is what's happening now so let's stop it" instead, especially with fascism becoming more obvious to anyone who looks. It doesn't matter what we know since we can always learn more.
The best solution is to realize this is martial law being slowly carried out against a dumbed-down and apathetic public with no warning from the media, so save your families and friends before it's too late. Get people with money to give some to the people with time and courage to disseminate information and get active now to meet people and know when to launch general strikes.
The whole economic system brilliantly compromises us into compromising others by "just doing our job" so our leaders can profit off misery while making us morally and spiritually weaker and easier to control. We need to understand and compensate for our actions by doing something to fight the system, the only way to continue working with a clear conscience.
The whole social structure can be saved by coming together before things get really expensive and we screw each other even more for a paycheck. With money tight power becomes the next high, which is what the disempowered poor drafted into security jobs are being given over us. Regardless of whether or not they were lies the idea of "liberty, equality and prosperity" for all is something we all bought, so it's something we all get to keep.
The whole globalist plan is working when we don't care about children, the elderly, the poor or each other. The next step is not caring about ourselves and accepting the brain chip, which means we're done. The elite hate women more and aim 90% of propaganda at them while poisoning their make-up and hair products, so have some compassion while waking them up since they're in rough shape.
The whole goal for us is to work with groups of good people for a good cause since it's a good way to meet good people for friendships or dates. It also allows you to speak freely and confidently while getting smarter and has worked for thousands of years to keep us in a good mood from raising a barn to raising a child.
The whole scam run by the people in power relies on thousands of secret and public groups working overtime for their goals of planning the future while they tell us to isolate ourselves to weaken our collective will and power.
It's time to steal their tricks and change our destiny.

The big picture is what we saw in "The Matrix" playing out online as we get used to living in virtual realities by spending hours in front of television, computers or videogames, or the trans-humanist goal of fitting us banker-batteries with brain chips developed by Loyola, Clemson and other universities being tested on the troops first like most military technology.
When you add this to the Special Forces and private armies fitted with RFID chips that explode with poison if they disobey martial law orders according to the venerable Officer Jack McLamb at Police and Military against the New World Order (www.JackMcLamb.com) who's worked for 27 years to wake up his brothers and sisters in law-enforcement, you can see we're in trouble here.
The New York Times even had a seemingly harmless video question (see below) by the author of "Freakonomics" asking if we'd take a brain chip that would increase our intelligence - but - could possibly drop it by 10% if the surgery goes wrong. This loaded question is "predictive programming" so we subconsciously remember it and are more likely to take it when the time comes, especially if we are weakened further by the rest of our stress.
The brain chip won't be as much fun as it seems in the movies.
They'll lie as usual by saying it's "good for us" or "for a good cause" first, so we should know that before we accept them. If we do we'll be mindless robots who can be zapped from cellphone towers and satelites if we misbehave, which is the Pentagon plan in place now with the soft sales-pitch having begun. Most people in the military don't know what's going on but know they're supposed to follow orders, so they'll do their part until this is in place unless we stop it.
We need to stop all the nonsense our leaders have planned, or the problems they'll create so they can implement their insane solutions.

Wires feed the information from the electrodes into a computer which analyses the brain signals.
The signals are interpreted and translated into cursor movements, offering the user an alternative way to control devices such as a computer with thought.

Scientists prep mind reading device
by Mark Baard (Boston Globe writer with his own site to tell more truth)
New Scientist magazine, cited by the Beeb in this report (link and excerpt, below), often exaggerates the nature of scientific findings and discoveries.
That’s why I am just a bit dubious of the claim that electrodes implanted in the brain of a speechless man are unlocking his thoughts, and relaying them to a voice synthesizer.
But if the scientists at Boston University can indeed guess the guy’s thoughts accurately 80 percent of the time, that would be impressive.
Once they take this technology wireless, calling our thoughts our own might prove impossible.
Pentagon to implant microchips in soldiers' brains
Submitted by Adam Thomas on Mon, 2007-07-30 19:49.
The Department of Defense is planning to implant microchips in soldiers' brains for monitoring their health information, and has already awarded a $1.6 million contract to the Center for Bioelectronics, Biosensors and Biochips (C3B) at Clemson University for the development of an implantable "biochip".
October 24, 2005 12:00am The Daily Telegraph Australia
US military experts are attempting to create an army of super-human soldiers who will be more intelligent and deadly thanks to a microchip implanted in their brains. Scientists believe the implant will vastly improve the memory of troops so that they can recall every detail of their training and become more effective fighters.
Researchers at the University of Southern California's bio-engineering department have created the chip, which acts in exactly the same way as the hippocampus - the part of the brain that deals with memory...
...The next stage of the project is to test the implant on live animals. If this work proves to be as successful, experiments could one day be carried out on soldiers.
WHAT'S NEXT; A Chip That Mimics Neurons, Firing Up the Memory
NY Times By ANNE EISENBERG Published: June 20, 2002
IN the 2001 movie ''Memento,'' the hero cannot hold onto any new memories. He forgets whatever he sees or hears within moments, distracted by new events that he also forgets in turn.
Profound amnesia like this comes about in real life, too, from trauma or disease to the hippocampus, the cortical section of the brain where memories are formed.
One day, though, a computer chip may do some of the work of a damaged hippocampus, replacing living neurons with silicon ones. That is the goal of Dr. Theodore W. Berger, a professor of biomedical engineering at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles and the director of the Center for Neural Engineering there. Dr. Berger has spent the past decade developing some of the basics for a chip-assisted hippocampus.
Neuro-Chip from Infineon measures electrical activity in living cells to further brain research
Munich, 21 February 2003
Researchers at Infineon Technologies have succeeded in co-operation with the Max Planck Institute in directly connecting a newly developed biosensor chip with living nerve cells and reading electrical signals produced by the cells.
This breakthrough technology, which Infineon calls a "Neuro-Chip", will allow scientific researchers to gain new insights into the biologic function of neurons, nerve tissue, and organic neural networks. In the field of drug development, the Neuro-Chip ultimately will enable tests of the effects of new pharmaceutical compounds on living neurons, contributing to greater efficiency and productivity in research.
"In December, researchers from Arizona Sate University showed that they could predict more than 80 percent of seizures with a computer program using chaos theory that analyzed brain waves." On average, warnings of impending surges occurred more than an hour before the seizure. Dr. Iasemidis said: "We envision a device that would automatically release a very low dose of an anti-epilepsy drug or an electrical signal that would block the seizure." New York Times, February 18, 2003, p. D5. Such devices, however, are still quite a few years away.

Brain Cells Fused with Computer Chip
By Ker Than, LiveScience Staff Writer 27 March 2006
The line between living organisms and machines has just become a whole lot blurrier. European researchers have developed "neuro-chips" in which living brain cells and silicon circuits are coupled together...
...To create the neuro-chip, researchers squeezed more than 16,000 electronic transistors and hundreds of capacitors onto a silicon chip just 1 millimeter square in size.
They used special proteins found in the brain to glue brain cells, called neurons, onto the chip. However, the proteins acted as more than just a simple adhesive.
"They also provided the link between ionic channels of the neurons and semiconductor material in a way that neural electrical signals could be passed to the silicon chip," said study team member Stefano Vassanelli from the University of Padua in Italy.
"Brain Chips and Other Dreams of the Cyber-Evangelists"
Chronicle of Higher Education, June 3, 2005
At times, I confess, I yearn for a brain chip. Dissatisfied with the sluggish, aging, three-pound lump of neurons that nature bequeathed me, I fantasize that a surgeon has drilled a hole in my cranium and installed a Neuromorphic Adaptive Quantum Nanoprocessor in my cortex. Its features would include a WIFI Internet linkup and an artificial-pundit program customized to reflect my rhetorical and intellectual idiosyncracies...
...Brain chips are only one of many technologies that could allow us to transcend our natural limits, but they appeal to those who consider genetic or pharmaceutical enhancement too subtle and slow.
Think of the difference between the films Gattaca, whose genetically souped-up characters resembled supermodels with high IQ's, and The Matrix, in which everyone sported brain jacks. Brain chips could, in principle, allow us to download digitized knowledge of kung fu or helicopter navigation directly into our memory banks, like The Matrix characters.
We could also control our computers and toaster ovens with our thoughts; communicate with other chip-equipped people, not in our current tedious, one-word-at-a-time fashion but broadband; and exchange virtual fluids with ultratalented "sexbots."

MSNBC: Sex and marriage with robots? It could happen
Robots soon will become more human-like in appearance, researcher says
By Charles Q. Choi Special to LiveScience Fri., Oct. 12, 2007
Humans could marry robots within the century. And consummate those vows.
"My forecast is that around 2050, [ * NOTE: This made-up date is inserted at the start to calm us down and contradicted by the rest of the article - Ed * ] the state of Massachusetts will be the first jurisdiction to legalize marriages with robots," artificial intelligence researcher David Levy at the University of Maastricht in the Netherlands told LiveScience. Levy recently completed his Ph.D. work on the subject of human-robot relationships, covering many of the privileges and practices that generally come with marriage as well as outside of it.
At first, sex with robots might be considered geeky, "but once you have a story like 'I had sex with a robot, and it was great!' appear someplace like Cosmo magazine, I'd expect many people to jump on the bandwagon," Levy said...
...In his thesis, "Intimate Relationships with Artificial Partners," Levy conjectures that robots will become so human-like in appearance, function and personality that many people will fall in love with them, have sex with them and even marry them.
"It may sound a little weird, but it isn't," Levy said. "Love and sex with robots are inevitable."
Sex with robots in 5 years
Levy argues that psychologists have identified roughly a dozen basic reasons why people fall in love, "and almost all of them could apply to human-robot relationships. For instance, one thing that prompts people to fall in love are similarities in personality and knowledge, and all of this is programmable. Another reason people are more likely to fall in love is if they know the other person likes them, and that's programmable too."
In 2006, Henrik Christensen, founder of the European Robotics Research Network, predicted that people will be having sex with robots within five years, and Levy thinks that's quite likely. There are companies that already sell realistic sex dolls, "and it's just a matter of adding some electronics to them to add some vibration," he said, or endowing the robots with a few audio responses. "That's fairly primitive in terms of robotics, but the technology is already there."

Ron Paul: The Only Presidential Candidate to Challenge the American Empire
David T. Beito and Scott Horton History News Network Monday November 19, 2007
Flying under the radar of mainstream media coverage, supporters of Dr. Ron Paul, a seventy-two year old ten-term congressman and obstetrician from Texas, have staged a political revolution. Despite little publicity, they have raised over $15 million, mostly in small donations, giving Paul more money in the bank than John McCain.
The Internet is full of not just Geeks, but technically astute people who research for themselves. They don’t just go by what they heard and see on the tv, radio or newspaper. Generally what Ron Paul stands for is just that... the types of values and mindset that many of us online share... (Video)

ENDGAME - Blueprint for Global Enslavement (Google Video)
The Big Picture is a group of wealthy inter-married families never lost their money and work together to plan the future since the rest of us don't bother. This includes setting up central banks, corporations, cultures, religions, governments, education, politics as a puppet-show, powerful television "programming", movies, music... and everything else we have. That's not to say it's all useless since we created a lot of it, just that we need to understand it to control it.
The Big Scam uses mind-control to fool everybody, including secret societies, compartmentalization, symbols, rituals, money and a bunch of rubbish many people take too seriously as something to believe in or avoid. It's just how paranoid rich people maintain control. Simple stuff. They fight a lot and the lower-ranks know they can get strangled by the fascist boa-constrictor too, which why we can use the information they give us to "Free The Masons!" and others too.
The Big Game means people can believe whatever they want about weirdo occult beliefs, but with no proof of an "Emperor" with super-powers like in Star Wars, we can see their mumbo-jumbo is just based on "belief" like anything else. They're not "The Borg" from Star Trek either, they know they have a short time on earth and selfishly rob each other while arguing about what will work to fool us, which is why they have thousands of small groups working on it that we need to expose.
The Big Business angle is key to understanding this, because despite arcane rules describing us as property under International Admiralty Law, Masonic courts with judges in black robes, twisting the English international language of business so we endorse our slavery and more, as Jordan Maxwell disciple Jason Whitney says it doesn't change a thing: it's just business. That's it. It always has been and always will be. The rest is a charade. Oh yeah, it's shady too, so don't let them use their "Bloomberg" bitches to tell you that paper is worth more than gold.

Global Gold Stocks May Beat Bullion, Baker Steel Says
Debarati Roy and Thomas Kutty Abraham Bloomberg Monday November 19, 2007
Investors should buy gold stocks such as Kinross Gold Corp. because mining companies may rise faster in the next two years than the precious metal they sell, said London-based Baker Steel Capital Managers LLP.
The British Empire didn't give up their power, they set up mini-Britains with "free trade" really managed by their cousins at the top, including controlling the U.S. with the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) branch of London's Royal Institute for International Affairs and U.S. Federal Reserve central bank and similar set-ups around the world. They're now centralizing power with the European Union, North American Union, African Union and Pan-Asian Union to be run by the United Nations. If you think "You can't fight city hall" just wait until it's in Brussels.
The Queen of England still wears ridiculous royal buffoonery for her 60th wedding anniversary to impress us even though we don't know why her family deserves any respect. It's not like she apologized or helped with her "service" to the world either, unlike the late Lady Diana. She's the most evil person in the world as the head of the most evil empire in history and uses the media she owns to hide it. Follow the money, see who's face is on most of it, remember who ran the world for hundreds of years and - unless you can explain it - how they never stopped.

Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Philip mark 60th anniversary
LONDON (AP) -- The 60th wedding anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip is also an occasion to be thankful for her long and devoted service to the nation and Commonwealth, the archbishop of Canterbury said Monday.
Celebrating the Diamond Wedding Anniversary of The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh.
Welcome to the official web site of the British Monarchy. Dating back over ten centuries, the Monarchy plays an important role in the UK and Commonwealth.

The Global Crime Syndicate works just like the movie-mafia who act like respectable members of the community while raping it, including The Vatican who control the mafia, or the group who ran Europe for hundreds of years while Europe ran the World. (See: "Godfather III" which was unfairly slammed for exposing this.)
The Think Tanks they fund figure out creative ways to lie to us and lead to big meetings like The Bilderberg Group (est. 1954) to plan the next year's agenda for how to divide and control land, profits and people just like the mafia divides cities while the public is distracted by puppet shows.
The People in Power always argue about how to define our culture and fool us based on what might work, including most of Europe staying out of the Iraq War because they thought their people would revolt after millions took to the streets to protest against it early.
The World's Slumlords had their biggest scare in 2004 when Spain launched general strikes after their inside job "Madrid Train Bombings" on 3/11 killed nearly 200 people just before elections. They stopped a dictatorship, exposed their Spanish Security Services role in organizing the plot and got their troops out of Iraq. They showed our leaders the same thing is possible elsewhere if they pull another 9/11 or 7/7, or that "false flag terrorism" isn't guaranteed to work.
The Spanish People are still under globalist control with the failure of the world to expose the fraud of the 9/11 attacks and the "War on Terror" rubbish, so their government is still using it to suppress dissent and trap them in a police state. Questions remain but people accept answers to move on, which is dangerous when moving in the wrong direction.
The 2004 Spanish General Strikes is a good example to remember and quote when preparing for general strikes worldwide, including the admitted anomalies in the story of the trial which just concluded below. See the creative language they're using to change their laws in the "Age of Terror" we're meant to live in, which is happening worldwide to deal with the apparent "threat" of a few random schoolboys they fail with billions in funding to stop. The "leaders" of these terror plots always mysteriously get off too, mostly because they work for the intelligence agencies who plan "terror" attacks to keep them in business.

Police search for Madrid bombers Doubts over al Qaeda claim
CNN, Wednesday, May 5, 2004
MADRID, Spain (CNN) -- Spanish government officials have pinned the blame on the Basque separatist group ETA for Thursday's blasts in Madrid that killed at least 192 people, but investigators were also exploring a lead with Arabic and Islamic links.
The brazen morning rush-hour terror strikes at city train stations also wounded at least 1,400.
The initial belief among officials was that ETA, designated a terror group by the United States and the European Union, was responsible.
But Spanish Interior Minister Angel Acebes said authorities were investigating a van found in the town of Alcala de Henares, outside Madrid, with at least seven detonators and an Arabic tape with Koranic teachings.
The tape contained no threats and is a type available commercially. The van was stolen last month.
Mixed verdict in Madrid train bombings trial unsettles Spain
International Herald Tribune By Victoria Burnett Published: October 31, 2007
MADRID: The National Court on Wednesday handed down sentences that stretched to tens of thousands of years to three men for killing 191 people and wounding more than 1,800 in the bombing of Madrid commuter trains on March 11, 2004.
But the court acquitted four of the top suspects of murder and did not convict any of the three alleged masterminds of direct involvement in the terror attacks, the worst by Islamic radicals on European soil.
The court acquitted 7 suspects and found 18 guilty of lesser charges related to the attacks, such as belonging to a terrorist organization. Sentences ranged from three to 43,000 years - although under Spanish law the most time they can spend in jail is 40 years. One defendant was released during the trial for lack of evidence...
...The verdict disappointed some Spaniards, however, who said prosecutors had produced sufficient evidence to convict many of the main suspects of inspiring, planning or executing the attacks. Pilar Manjón, head of the Association for Victims of the 11-M, a victims' support group, asserted that the sentences were "soft" and that the group would appeal, news agencies reported...
[Some victims and relatives of those killed in the bombings questioned why no one had been convicted of plotting the attacks and said the sentences imposed on the guilty were too short, Reuters reported. Isabel Presa, who lost her youngest son in one of the explosions, shook as she spoke of her disgust. "I'm not a judge or a lawyer, but this is shameful, outrageous," she said before breaking down in tears.]
Counterterrorism experts said the verdict underscored the difficulty of building a solid case against suspected Islamists who are accused of providing inspiration or direction to foot soldiers and who belong to diffuse groups with no formal structure...
..."It is a point of pride to be able to try people in a courtroom, with full constitutional guarantees," said Fernando Reinares, an expert at the Royal Elcano Institute in international terrorism. "But in Spain there is space for debate about whether we need to adapt our judicial legislation and culture to confront international Islamist terrorism."
Javier Gómez Bermúdez, the head of the tribunal, sentenced Jamal Zougam, a 34-year-old Moroccan who witnesses said they saw on one of the bombed trains, to more than 30,000 years in prison on charges that included murder, attempted murder and belonging to an "armed group." Zougam owned a shop where most of the cellphone cards used to detonate the explosives were bought...
...The tribunal acquitted Rabei Osman, who was accused of being one of the masterminds of the attacks and was convicted in Italy last year of belonging to a terrorist organization. The other alleged masterminds, Hassan el Haski and Youssef Belhadj, were acquitted of that charge and convicted simply of belonging to a terrorist organization.
In his reasoning, Gómez said tapes of telephone conversations that were provided as evidence against Osman, tapes made by the Italian police, did not prove his participation in the plot. The Italian wiretaps, in which prosecutors said Osman boasted that he was "the thread behind the Madrid plot," were disputed by Spanish translators...
...Endika Zulueta, Osman's attorney, said there was no proof against his client. "The prosecutors said he was an Islamist, very radical, very religious," Zulueta said by telephone. "But you cannot be condemned for your personality in a democracy."
The prosecutors did not get the murder conviction they sought for Abdelmajid Bouchar, 24, a Moroccan whom one witness said he saw leaving one of the trains. Bouchar was sentenced to 12 years in prison for belonging to a terrorist organization and 6 years for possessing explosives...
...Reinares, the terrorism analyst, said the judge appeared to have been very strict in his definition of admissible evidence. "It seems he has not admitted the extraordinary mass of circumstantial evidence," he said. "This kind of evidence is crucial when you are trying members of a nebulous group of international terrorists."
Manuel Torres, director of Athena Intelligence, a research group that monitors Islamist activity, said the Spanish legal system was primed to combat hierarchical, disciplined terrorist organizations like ETA, the militant Basque separatist group. "The idea of rings within rings and hierarchies is useful for the police or judiciary, but in reality the structures are much less rigid," Torres said in a telephone interview before the verdict. "We are applying old concepts to new realities."
For many Spaniards, the trial was an important process that discredited, for once and for all, the suggestion that ETA, the Basque separatist group, played a role in the bombings. The theory of ETA involvement, espoused by some hard-line conservatives, was raised often during the five-month trial.
José Maria Aznar, the prime minister at the time of the attacks, immediately blamed ETA and stuck by his assertion for three days, despite mounting evidence that the bombs were the work of Islamists. His stance, and the fact that many Spaniards felt they were being punished for the nation's support of the United States in the Iraq war, tipped voters against Aznar's conservative Popular Party, which lost elections on March 14, 2004.
The Club of Rome think tank in the 1970's came up with their dumbest scam ever, or "global cooling" and now "global warming" or "climate change" or "climate crisis" taxes on entire countries to fund World Government. They're charging us for exhaling CO2, which kids learn is converted by plants into oxygen, with rising and falling levels over thousands of years during the holocene optimum period and others and nothing for us to worry about.
The Club of Rome first thought about using "aliens" to scare us, but realized they could take advantage of our natural love of the earth to fool us into thinking we were harming it while they continue to destroy it. This is distracting us from real environmental issues we know of like the poisoning of our food, air, water, minds and bodies we never talk about, all while turning the energy of good people into useless actions that don't do anything to stop anyone from destroying the planet right in front of us.

The "limits to growth" revisited
by JOSCHKA FISCHER* Date: 2007-11-01
Since the Cold War's end, all kinds of barriers have come down and the world economy has fundamentally changed. Until 1989, the global market encompassed between 800 million and 1 billion people.
Today, it is three times larger and growing. Indeed, we are witnessing one of the most dramatic revolutions in modern history and it is occurring almost unnoticed. From a model applicable to the minority of the world's population, "Western consumer society" is becoming the dominant economic model of the world, one to which there is increasingly no alternative. By mid-century, the lives of 7 billion people might be governed by its laws.

"The Six Sins of Greenwashing"
New study finds misleading green claims in 99% of products surveyed
OTTAWA, Nov. 19 /CNW Telbec/ - Buyers beware - that so-called "green" product is likely stretching the eco-truth according to the Six Sins of Greenwashing study released today by TerraChoice Environmental Marketing.
The Six Sins of Greenwashing found that of 1,018 common consumer products ranging from toothpaste to caulking to shampoo to printers, randomly surveyed for the study, 99% were guilty of "greenwashing."
The products we surveyed made a total of 1,753 claims, and 99% per cent committed at least one of the Six Sins of Greenwashing," says TerraChoice President Scott McDougall. "The Six Sins of Greenwashing will equip consumers with tools to help figure out the truth about enviro-friendly products." The study and consumer tip sheets can be found on the Web at www.terrachoice.com.
The environmental shortcomings were so prevalent that TerraChoice separated them into six categories - or the "Six Sins of Greenwashing."
The Hollywood Elite might not know CO2 is only 4% of greenhouse gases, that humans contribute only a tiny fraction of that, that greenhouses selling plants pump-in 3x as much CO2 so they grow faster and that none of this nonsense contributes to climate change. However, it stops us from blaming corporations who pollute more than ever while we feel guilty and blame each other instead, which only weakens our relationships so we're more easily controlled.
The Artists We Trust might not know what to say with shrinking media ownership and do what they're asked, or sell us fake environmentalism and a "Love of money" ("The root of all evil", Jesus) in a collapsing economy. We expect them to tell the truth more than others because they appeal to our emotions, but in reality the ones promoted by the same corporate-media hiding atrocities committed by their parent companies worldwide are often paid to lie and brainwash us into pushing self-destructive agendas we don't understand at different times in history.
The Celebrities We Like might know what their job is as members of the Freemasons and other secret societies. They're part of the "culture creation industry", a term Susan Sarandon revealed in protesting the Iraq War, which means they work for "industry" to create our "culture" for their benefit and long-term plans. If they want to be stars they have to play ball, which means they can't disagree with the goals of the industry that funds their work.
The Hollywood Producers who writers, directors, actors and others complain about often work for the CIA, explaining why they have no "artistic" instincts since they get their direction from The Tavistock Institute for psychological programming in London, England. The long-term plans are devised elsewhere, but how to tell them to us comes from Tavistock and other think tanks while it's executed by the entertainment industry centered in New York and Los Angeles.
The Musicians We Love have tragically gone from being anti-establishment to pro-establishment as part of the plan to sell us the open dictatorship of a ruling elite. (See: Jay-Z's "Ruling Elite" t-shirt in the new XXL Magazine). They also see if they're anti-war they'll hit the bricks like the Dixie Chicks, while if they promote the war they'll get promoted by Operation Hollywood.

Operation Hollywood
News: How the Pentagon bullies movie producers into showing the U.S. military in the best possible light.
Mother Jones Magazine David Robb Interviewed By Jeff Fleischer September 20, 2004
To keep the Pentagon happy, some Hollywood producers have been known to turn villains into heroes, remove central characters, change politically sensitive settings, or add military rescues to movies that require none. There are no bad guys in the military. No fraternization between officers and enlisted troops. No drinking or drugs. No struggles against bigotry. The military and the president can’t look bad (though the State Department and Canada can).
“The only thing Hollywood likes more than a good movie is a good deal,” David Robb explains, and that’s why the producers of films like “Top Gun,” “Stripes” and “The Great Santini” have altered their scripts to accommodate Pentagon requests. In exchange, they get inexpensive access to the military locations, vehicles, troops and gear they need to make their movies.
During his years as a journalist for Daily Variety and The Hollywood Reporter, Robb heard about a quid-pro-quo agreement between the Pentagon and Hollywood studios, and decided to investigate. He combed through thousands of Pentagon documents, and interviewed dozens of screenwriters, producers and military officials. The result is his new book, "Operation Hollywood."
LIFE STYLE EXTRA (UK) - Guy Ritchie is making a film about Kabbalah.
The 'Snatch' director, married to Madonna who is a devout follower of the mystical Jewish faith, revealed his plans for a documentary about the 'religion' at a service held at the New York Kabbalah Centre last Saturday (02.07.06).
Ritchie says the movie references Albert Pike's 1871 book 'Morals and Dogma', which draws parallels between Kabbalah and Freemasonry.
Madonna showed her commitment to the religion by taking in two services over the weekend, despite allegedly arriving half-an-hour late to Saturday's meeting.

Angelina Jolie Joins Council on Foreign Relations
THURSDAY JUNE 07, 2007 07:00 PM EDT By Mary Green
Angelina Jolie has been showing her glamorous side lately – walking red carpets from Cannes to Hollywood – but Thursday she was honored for her philanthropic work by joining the Council on Foreign Relations, PEOPLE has learned exclusively.
The prestigious think tank officially approved Jolie's membership nomination, adding her to a group whose membership includes presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter, ABC's Diane Sawyer, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and journalist Tom Brokaw.
Earlier this year, Jolie, already a UN Goodwill Ambassador, was nominated and recommended for approval by the CFR membership.
Recent statements by UN officials and open proposals within UN documents are so alarming that, if most Americans were aware of the UN's efforts they would demand immediate U.S. withdrawal from the global organization. Consider the following list of recent proposals by the United Nations:
At the June 1998 Rome Summit, the UN openly called for the ability to bring to trial any person in the world before their criminal court. In June of 1999 the UN Development Report 1999. It calls for the imposition of several types of world taxation, a world central bank, and a socialist-style redistribution of wealth.
The September 1999 UN Report of the Group of Governmental Experts on Small Arms calls for global abolition of the right to keep and bear arms. From September 1999 through the present, UN Secretary General Kofi Annan delivered a series of addresses openly calling for an end to national sovereignty, the creation of world law under a global government, and the unrestricted ability of the UN to intervene in the internal affairs of nations.
These and other recent UN pronouncements have openly advocated the accumulation of all of the powers in the UN that modern governments exercise: Trial and punishment of criminals; raising armies and waging war at will; imposing taxes; redistributing wealth; imposing onerous environmental regulations; and confiscating firearms.
Many of those powers are certainly not legitimate functions of government. But legitimate or not, the fact remains that these powers can only be exercised by governments.

Official UN - Universal Declaration of Human Rights
On December 10, 1948 the General Assembly of the United Nations adopted and proclaimed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights the full text of which appears in the following pages. Following this historic act the Assembly called upon all Member countries to publicize the text of the Declaration and "to cause it to be disseminated, displayed, read and expounded principally in schools and other educational institutions, without distinction based on the political status of countries or territories."
Article 29.
(1) Everyone has duties to the community in which alone the free and full development of his personality is possible.
(2) In the exercise of his rights and freedoms, everyone shall be subject only to such limitations as are determined by law solely for the purpose of securing due recognition and respect for the rights and freedoms of others and of meeting the just requirements of morality, public order and the general welfare in a democratic society.
*** (3) These rights and freedoms may in no case be exercised contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations. ***
(Ed note: This means the UN can take away the rights and freedoms of anyone in the world if they decide they conflict with their goal of world government.)

Government study: Americans reading less
By HILLEL ITALIE, AP National Writer Mon Nov 19, 12:31 AM ET
NEW YORK - The latest National Endowment for the Arts report draws on a variety of sources, public and private, and essentially reaches one conclusion: Americans are reading less.
The 99-page study, "To Read or Not to Read," is being released Monday as a follow-up to a 2004 NEA survey, "Reading at Risk," that found an increasing number of adult Americans were not even reading one book a year.
"To Read or Not to Read" gathers an array of government, academic and foundation data on everything from how many 9-year-olds read every day for "fun" (54 percent) to the percentage of high school graduates deemed by employers as "deficient" in writing in English (72 percent).
"I've done a lot of work in statistics in my career, and I've never seen a situation where so much data was pulled from so many places and absolutely everything is so consistent," NEA chairman Dana Gioia said.
The Culture Creation Industry promoted "Leave It To Beaver" and "The Andy Griffith Show" and healthy families when they wanted them and "Dexter" and "Reality TV" mass-murderers and whores now to destroy our values. You can see we're more upset about Barry Bonds' baseballs and Britney Spears' babies than the War in Iraq. This isn't normal, but if it becomes normal then we're in real trouble.

The Real Criminals Are Not Barry Bonds or Britney Spears
by Ron Jacobs November 18, 2007 ZNet
Barry Bonds indicted for lying to a grand jury. Britney Spears' kids taken away from her. That guy from the TV show “24” doing time for driving while intoxicated. What is this world coming to? I mean when your celebrities act like humans?
What's up with that?
Meanwhile, on the other side of the continent...men and women make up lies to send your children off to kill and die. Your money follows them as far as the warmakers bank account. Yet no one makes a cry. After all, it's national defense. That's what the vice president says...and who am I to question their wisdom. Even though that wisdom is the wisdom of fools that speak only in terms of cash.
The fury gathers because Barry Bonds might have destroyed the integrity of a game, yet George Bush's use of the political equivalent of steroids in 2000 - steroids that gave him a grand slam in a contest in which he was certainly defeated except for the favorable decision of the judges - there is no fury at all.
More people are angry at Barry Bonds because they think he stole a sports record of questionable value than are angry because George Bush and his cabal stole their nation from them.
PRESIDENT RON PAUL has discussed the possibility of a false flag operation being used to launch a nuclear attack on Iran, or perhaps a Gulf of Tonkin style event like the one declassified by the NSA (National Security Agency) in 2005 who revealed it was faked by the U.S. military to increase their involvement in the Vietnam War.
PRESIDENT has not discussed 9/11 Truth yet, but as a friend of Alex Jones he’s obviously aware of it and won’t to ensure the mass media can cover his campaign without losing their jobs. It’s probably keeping him from being assassinated too, so we should be thankful for that.
.
DID YOU KNOW: A fascist coup in the U.S. in 1933 was lead by Prescott Bush (Dubya’s grandfather) and other fans of Adolph Hitler and foiled by General Smedley Butler? He was recruited as a war hero who could help control the military, but only worked with the plotters long enough to find out who they were and stop them, as later confirmed by the Congressional McCormack-Dickstein Committee hearings. Butler then wrote a book called “War Is A Racket” saying he was fooled into being a “gangster for capitalism” after leading attacks on the Caribbean so banks and corporations could steal their stuff. On November 11th, if you wear a poppy, a symbol for the opium trade more than “Flanders Fields” currently valued at $2 billion a day and ironically referenced in the new movie “American Gangster” set during the Vietnam War, ask why General Butler isn’t celebrated as a war hero today for saving America.
.
PRESIDENT RON PAUL wouldn’t be allowed on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, The Colbert Report, Hardball with Chris Matthews, CNN with Wolf Blitzer and others if he spoke openly about 9/11 as an inside job, or the most important weapon the global financial elite behind Bush/Cheney are using to herd the world into accepting a police state. This is proven in part by governments worldwide passing Patriot Act style laws at the same time right afterwards, which is unusually fast for bureaucracies who didn’t write them in advance.
.
DID YOU KNOW: The World Trade Center had a third building fall on 9/11, or Building Seven, which wasn’t hit by an airplane and fell at free-fall speed into it’s own footprint in a perfect controlled demolition at 5:20 pm the same day? It was reported as having fallen or about to fall in advance by BBC and CNN too, proving they were working off a script. Physics Professor Steven Jones has analyzed independent fragments from the site and confirmed the explosive charge thermate was used, which also explains why pools of molten lead were found weeks after the initial collapse, something that jet-fuel which is basically kerosene doesn’t have the energy to do.
.
PRESIDENT RON PAUL knows it’s a tough trade-off since 9/11 Truth is the key to stopping all this nonsense, but it must be respected since it’s working so far. He certainly doesn’t discourage anyone from investigating or promoting it even though Fox News forced him to say he doesn’t believe in it, which is an answer given for convenience at the time.
PRESIDENT RON PAUL is a “legislator” not an “agitator” like most in the 9/11 Truth and other independent movements, so if he can work with fellow politicians and the media to get important work done like cutting-off funding for the Iraq War to stop the killing or passing laws to stop the domestic erosion of rights and freedoms then it’s worth it.
PRESIDENT RON PAUL has views on economics, abortion, social services and others that deserve an open and honest discussion since so much history is hidden from us. His strong position on "states rights" ensures no strong central government dictates what local people have to do, which means people will be free to choose regardless of whether or not they disagree.
.
DID YOU KNOW: A 2003 Toronto Star poll revealed 63% of Canadians believe the Bush Administration either let 9/11 happen or made it happen? Several chapters of the 9/11 Truth movement have sprung up nationally in places like Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Victoria, Calgary, Winnipeg, St. John’s, Yukon and others. Many are affiliated with the New York based WeAreChange.org whose affiliates worldwide confront politicians and others on camera with questions about 9/11 Truth and other issues of hidden history.
.
PRESIDENT RON PAUL served in the military unlike the current Commander-in-Thief and knows the money spent is NOT for “the troops” as Bush keeps babbling since they don’t get raises and at Walter Reed Hospital they have no clothes, care or boots. Billions are going to defense contractors like the ones his father Bush Sr. at The Carlyle Group invests in or to Halliburton that Vice-President Cheney used to run. However, it's important to understand this is not about money, it's about control.
PRESIDENT RON PAUL knows several private military firms with mercenaries trained at the School of the Americas in Ft. Bening, GA (since renamed) to run Latin American death squads and others have been used to rob and rape Africa and other continents, had firefights with regular U.S. Army in Iraq and are being deployed domestically to work with local law enforcement on policing ordinary citizens. Blackwater is the most famous, but it’s one of the smaller ones, with Sovereign Deed and Triton even bigger and badder. This is the most dangerous trend in human history we need to know more about and stop, especially as they try to legitimize their actions by going mainstream.

Private Military Companies (PMCs) Private Security Companies (PSCs), and firms in adjacent business sectors play growing roles in the implementation of the defense, development, and security agendas since the end of the Cold War. In the era of globalization, these types of contractors are critical in raising and maintaining levels of security in unstable but economically important areas of the world.
Ongoing global instability since 9/11 fosters a demand for private military and security services too. The contracting-out and outsourcing imperatives of governments further make private military and security solutions viable alternatives for authorities to consider.

PRESIDENT RON PAUL should be supported by young, old, black, white, whatever your stripe, since there’s no way you can dislike “freedom” unless you want to take it from someone else, which is a bad sign you’ll endorse a system that takes away yours too.
PRESIDENT RON PAUL knows the problems with fascism, it leads people fooled into thinking they’ll have power into accepting their own enslavement. After they set it up they have to be monitored, brainwashed and controlled to keep it going, ensuring they’re just as miserable as everyone else.
PRESIDENT RON PAUL wants a small federal government that stays out of your business, which is the best solution since a big and powerful government is taken over by people who want power over others, which is what we have today.
PRESIDENT RON PAUL is the only candidate worth considering and his ideas can help us right now, so support him and join the Ron Paul Revolution.

Peace, (NOW!!!) BK

Revolution, flashmobs, and brain chips. A grim vision of the future

Information chips implanted in the brain. Electromagnetic pulse weapons. The middle classes becoming revolutionary, taking on the role of Marx's proletariat. The population of countries in the Middle East increasing by 132%, while Europe's drops as fertility falls. "Flashmobs" - groups rapidly mobilised by criminal gangs or terrorists groups.
This is the world in 30 years' time envisaged by a Ministry of Defence team responsible for painting a picture of the "future strategic context" likely to face Britain's armed forces. It includes an "analysis of the key risks and shocks". Rear Admiral Chris Parry, head of the MoD's Development, Concepts & Doctrine Centre which drew up the report, describes the assessments as "probability-based, rather than predictive".
The 90-page report comments on widely discussed issues such as the growing economic importance of India and China, the militarisation of space, and even what it calls "declining news quality" with the rise of "internet-enabled, citizen-journalists" and pressure to release stories "at the expense of facts". It includes other, some frightening, some reassuring, potential developments that are not so often discussed.
New weapons
An electromagnetic pulse will probably become operational by 2035 able to destroy all communications systems in a selected area or be used against a "world city" such as an international business service hub. The development of neutron weapons which destroy living organs but not buildings "might make a weapon of choice for extreme ethnic cleansing in an increasingly populated world". The use of unmanned weapons platforms would enable the "application of lethal force without human intervention, raising consequential legal and ethical issues". The "explicit use" of chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear weapons and devices delivered by unmanned vehicles or missiles.
Technology
By 2035, an implantable "information chip" could be wired directly to the brain. A growing pervasiveness of information communications technology will enable states, terrorists or criminals, to mobilise "flashmobs", challenging security forces to match this potential agility coupled with an ability to concentrate forces quickly in a small area.
Marxism
"The middle classes could become a revolutionary class, taking the role envisaged for the proletariat by Marx," says the report. The thesis is based on a growing gap between the middle classes and the super-rich on one hand and an urban under-class threatening social order: "The world's middle classes might unite, using access to knowledge, resources and skills to shape transnational processes in their own class interest". Marxism could also be revived, it says, because of global inequality. An increased trend towards moral relativism and pragmatic values will encourage people to seek the "sanctuary provided by more rigid belief systems, including religious orthodoxy and doctrinaire political ideologies, such as popularism and Marxism".
Pressures leading to social unrest
By 2010 more than 50% of the world's population will be living in urban rather than rural environments, leading to social deprivation and "new instability risks", and the growth of shanty towns. By 2035, that figure will rise to 60%. Migration will increase. Globalisation may lead to levels of international integration that effectively bring inter-state warfare to an end. But it may lead to "inter-communal conflict" - communities with shared interests transcending national boundaries and resorting to the use of violence.
Population and Resources
The global population is likely to grow to 8.5bn in 2035, with less developed countries accounting for 98% of that. Some 87% of people under the age of 25 live in the developing world. Demographic trends, which will exacerbate economic and social tensions, have serious implications for the environment - including the provision of clean water and other resources - and for international relations. The population of sub-Saharan Africa will increase over the period by 81%, and that of Middle Eastern countries by 132%.
The Middle East
The massive population growth will mean the Middle East, and to a lesser extent north Africa, will remain highly unstable, says the report. It singles out Saudi Arabia, the most lucrative market for British arms, with unemployment levels of 20% and a "youth bulge" in a state whose population has risen from 7 million to 27 million since 1980. "The expectations of growing numbers of young people [in the whole region] many of whom will be confronted by the prospect of endemic unemployment ... are unlikely to be met," says the report.
Islamic militancy
Resentment among young people in the face of unrepresentative regimes "will find outlets in political militancy, including radical political Islam whose concept of Umma, the global Islamic community, and resistance to capitalism may lie uneasily in an international system based on nation-states and global market forces", the report warns. The effects of such resentment will be expressed through the migration of youth populations and global communications, encouraging contacts between diaspora communities and their countries of origin.
Tension between the Islamic world and the west will remain, and may increasingly be targeted at China "whose new-found materialism, economic vibrancy, and institutionalised atheism, will be an anathema to orthodox Islam".
Iran
Iran will steadily grow in economic and demographic strength and its energy reserves and geographic location will give it substantial strategic leverage. However, its government could be transformed. "From the middle of the period," says the report, "the country, especially its high proportion of younger people, will want to benefit from increased access to globalisation and diversity, and it may be that Iran progressively, but unevenly, transforms...into a vibrant democracy."
Terrorism
Casualties and the amount of damage inflicted by terrorism will stay low compared to other forms of coercion and conflict. But acts of extreme violence, supported by elements within Islamist states, with media exploitation to maximise the impact of the "theatre of violence" will persist. A "terrorist coalition", the report says, including a wide range of reactionary and revolutionary rejectionists such as ultra-nationalists, religious groupings and even extreme environmentalists, might conduct a global campaign of greater intensity".
Climate change
There is "compelling evidence" to indicate that climate change is occurring and that the atmosphere will continue to warm at an unprecedented rate throughout the 21st century. It could lead to a reduction in north Atlantic salinity by increasing the freshwater runoff from the Arctic. This could affect the natural circulation of the north Atlantic by diminishing the warming effect of ocean currents on western Europe. "The drop in temperature might exceed that of the miniature ice age of the 17th and 18th centuries."

Pentagon to implant microchips in soldiers' brains
Submitted by Adam Thomas on Mon, 2007-07-30 19:49.
The Department of Defense is planning to implant microchips in soldiers' brains for monitoring their health information, and has already awarded a $1.6 million contract to the Center for Bioelectronics, Biosensors and Biochips (C3B) at Clemson University for the development of an implantable "biochip".
Soldiers fear that the biochip, about the size of a grain of rice, which measures and relays information on soldiers vital signs 24 hours a day, can be used to put them under surveillance even when they are off duty.
But Anthony Guiseppi-Elie, C3B director and Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and Bioengineering claims the that the invivo biosensors will save lives as first responders to the trauma scene could inject the biochip into the wounded victim and gather data almost immediately.
He believes that the device has other long-term potential applications, such as monitoring astronauts’ vital signs during long-duration space flights and reading blood-sugar levels for diabetics.
“We now lose a large percentage of patients to bleeding, and getting vital information such as how much oxygen is in the tissue back to ER physicians and medical personnel can often mean the difference between life and death,” said Guiseppi-Elie. “Our goal is to improve the quality and expediency of care for fallen soldiers and civilian trauma victims.” The biochip also may be injected as a precaution to future traumas."
Clemson scientists have formulated a gel that mimics human tissue and reduces the chances of the body rejecting the biochip, which has been a problem in the past.
The researcher predicts the biochip is five years away from human trials, and the DoD could start implanting microchips in soldiers bodies soon after.
