Joke of the Day ----



A guy wandered over to a beautiful woman in a bar and started chatting her up. Not too far into the conversation he said: "Do you mind If I ask you a personal question?"

"That depends on how personal it is she replied"

"Okay," he said tentatively. "How many men have you slept with?"

"No way I am going to tell you that!" she snapped. "That's my business!"

"Oh, sorry," he said. "I didn't realize you made a living from it."

Tennessee House Passes Resolution Against United Nations Agenda 21

The Intel Hub
March 17, 2012
Tennessee lawmakers have taken a major step forward in the fight against U.N. Agenda 21 with a House resolution condemning the plan as “destructive and insidious.”

The resolution passed 72-23 and was quickly condemned and made fun of by the few local and national media outlets who actually reported on the story.

The plan called on members of the United Nations to adopt sustainable development principles to alleviate poverty and combat global warming. But the resolution approved by Tennessee lawmakers on Thursday depicts it as a plan for the “socialist/communist redistribution of wealth” through energy conservation policies, zoning restrictions and forced abortions.

American Spring? Occupy Wall Street Comes Roaring Back

Occupy Wall Street

The revolution will be live-streamed.

Screengrab from TimCast on UStream
In case you thought the Occupy Movement had somehow vanished during the cold but relatively brief Winter, Occupy Wall Street protesters returned in force Saturday to familiar locales, apparently determined to make sure we knew they were still around and still D.T. P. (Down To Protest).
The Times reported early Saturday night that protesters “embarked upon a winding march” which led to a few arrests in and around the original home of the protest, Zuccotti Park.

CNN Spins Wall Street Fraud Settlement As Obama Forced Bailout

CNN spins the Wall Street mortgage fraud settlement as an Obama forced homeowner bailout, while not even mentioning the settlement was for the banks fraud and illegal activities.

Scouring the Internet for today’s latest news,  CNN’s top headline was ‘Rage grows over mortgage deal’.
For those not familiar with the mortgage deal being talked about, it is a settlement with Wall Street banks who have illegally and fraudulently foreclosing millions of homes over the last several years.
Not having proof they even owned a mortgage, banks would purchase fake documents from a mortgage industry foreclosure catalog and pay off crooked judges to sign them and foreclose on homeowners.

The NSA is a data center to house a 512 qubit quantum computer capable of learning, reproducing the brain’s cognitive functions, and programming itself.

The National Security Center is building a highly fortified $2 Billion highly top secret complex simply named the “Utah Data Center” which will soon be home to the Hydrogen bomb of cybersecurity – A 512 Qubit Quantum Computer — which will revitalize the the “total information awareness” program originally envisioned by George Bush in 2003.
The news of the data center comes after Department of Defense contractor Lockheed Martin secured a contract with D-Wave for $10 million for a 512 qubit Quantum Computer code-named Vesuvius.
Vesuvius is capable of executing a massive number of computations at once, more than 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, which is would take millions of years on a standard desktop.
The computer will be able to crack crack even the most secure encryption and will give the US government a quantum leap into technologies once only dreamed of including the rise of the world’s very first all-knowing omniscient self-teaching artificial intelligence.

Occupy Wall Street Updated: Occupy Wall Street Activist Cecily McMillan Allegedly Beaten By N.Y.P.D. (Video)


Cecily McMillan/Facebook
Cecily McMillan, an Occupy Wall Street activist once profiled in Rolling Stone, suffered a seizure Saturday night during protest action near Zuccotti Park. Many on-scene reported Ms. McMillan had trouble breathing after she was tackled and handcuffed by law enforcement
.
A video uploaded to Youtube late Saturday night purports to show the attack. Two women can be heard commenting, “There’s Cecily,” then there is confusion as the police clearly perform a violent take-down on someone in the crowd.

According to Jeff Sharlet’s November, 2011 article about the Occupy Movement, this may be Ms. McMillan’s second violent encounter with police. She is an organizer for the Northeast region of youths involved in the Democratic Socialists of America, which Mr. Sharlet reports is “the largest socialist organization in the United States.” Ms. McMillan, however, once led a more conventional life:

Horrified with the way the US government uses the Patriot Act against its own people, two senators have been trying to make these practices public for years. Tired of being ignored, they’re now taking their fight against secret programs to public.
Two US senators wrote the attorney general of the United States this week, urging the federal government to give the American public evidence explaining how the Patriot Act has been interpreted since signed into law in 2001.
In a joint letter to Attorney General Eric Holder sent Thursday, Senators Ron Wyden (D-Oregon) and Mark Udall (D-Colorado) plead with the government to provide the American people with the facts behind what the Patriot Act can let America’s top investigators do. The lawmakers, who have rallied for disclosure of these details for more than two years, say citizens would be “stunned” to learn what the government believes it can get away with under the law.

Seeking Truth ------- Part 1

SEEKING THE TRUTH – PART 1

On April 28, 2011, I began a quest to determine if the management of the Town of Lisbon was mismanaging our tax dollars.  I started with the active outstanding loans for the town.  I submitted a letter to the Town Manager, in accordance with the Maine Freedom of Access Act (FOAA), seeking the following information:  Date Approved; Original Amount; Business/Person; Loan Fund; Business Project; Balance; Date of Last Payment; and Amount of Last Payment.  The sole purpose of this information was to determine any mismanagement of our tax dollars.

Originally, the town manager ignored my request which was a violation of Maine Statute, Title 1, Chapter 13, and Statutes 409.  The town was required by Maine law to respond in writing within 5 working days which they failed to do.  I sought out a lawyer and my lawyer requested the information and was ignored by the town manager and town attorney.  At this point, my lawyer filed a lawsuit against the town for failing to provide me this information.  This was at my personal expense.  During the litigation, the two lawyers met with the judge informally several times; to save time and money, and both times the town attorney refused to provide all the information stating some of it was exempt from dissemination under the Maine Statue which makes personal and business loans information confidential.  This information was the Balance; Date of Last Payment and Amount of Last Payment.  I was seeking this information to determine if the loaner was making the payments on time or not.  The court ruled I was not entitled to this information because it could be used against the loaners. 

However, I believe this was a stalling tactic by the town in order to buy time to correct, conceal or cover-up mismanagement on the town’s part.  The town could have provided the information requested and not provided the information in question but instead needed more time to cover-up mismanagement.  When I started looking into this, I had an old document with sixteen (16) outstanding loans and this did not count the loan since 2008 like Maria’s loan.  Once I final received the information, I was allowed to have there was only nine (9) outstanding loans.  Missing from the list is the $32,500.00 loaned to Atlantic Commercial Cleaners and no mention of Maria’s.  It was very clear the list had been sanitized by the town.  However, as usual the town does not do a very good job of covering up mismanagement.  There are two loans which were supposed to have been paid off in 2008 still on the outstanding loans list.  Although, they are for small amounts, why hasn’t the town management taken action to recover this money for the town?  I would say three years is probably sufficient time to correct this situation if the town was looking out for the taxpayer’s best interest.

I believe the town has written off most of these outstanding loans in order to conceal the mismanagement from the people of Lisbon.  In order to get to the truth of what is going on with these loans, I am going to request under the Maine Freedom of Access Act (FOAA), the town provide me a listing of all loan written off by the town in the past two years to determine how many taxpayer’s dollars have been lost to this program.  The information I will be asking for is:  Date of Loan; Original Amount of Loan; Business /Individual Loans issued to; Date Written Off; and finally Amount Written Off.  I can almost guarantee the town of Lisbon will NOT provide this information because the management of Lisbon does not want the citizens to know how much taxpayer’s dollars have been mismanaged.

Canadian Jewish groups slam Israel warmongering

There is no evidence that Iran has developed nuclear weapons, and "it’s ironic that Israel has a very large nuclear stockpile and also has the backing of the US which has the largest nuclear stockpile.”
Activist of the Jewish Community in Canada Diana Ralph
The Jewish community in Canada has denounced Israel crimes against the Palestinians as well as its warmongering against Iran by organizing rallies to protest Tel Aviv policies, Press TV reports.


Jewish groups, particularly the Independent Jewish Voices of Canada (IJVC) have played a major role in organizing rallies against a war with Iran, a Press TV correspondent reported Saturday.

IJVC, founded in 2008, describes itself as representing the Jewish people in Canada who have in common a strong commitment to social justice and universal human rights. The organization was as a result of the national Independent Jewish Canadian Conference.

Consumers Ingesting Mystery Meat Treated with Poisonous Gas

Mike Barrett
NaturalSociety
March 16, 2012

As a method of passing off decayed meat as fresh, meat industries in many countries are treating meat with highly toxic gas. In fact, 70 percent of all beef and chicken within the United States and Canada are subject to the treatment of the poisonous gas known as carbon monoxide. Add this knowledge to the recently exposed ammonia-tainted ‘pink slime’ used in meat being served to millions of people and schoolchildren, and you may be reluctant to ever eat meat again.
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a toxic colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas which essentially replaces oxygen in the blood. When individuals are exposed to higher levels of CO, it begins to cause detrimental effects after binding to a molecule in the blood that normally carries oxygen, known as hemoglobin. Lower levels of exposure results in headaches, confusion, fatigue, and nausea, while higher levels of exposure could result in unconsciousness, death, or long-term negative neurological effects.

All facts prove US War Crimes, there is no refutation, so where are the arrests?


War law and Constitutional Rights are central to competence in government, citizenry, and military. The US Constitution provides multiple protections of the first Unalienable Right of Life from government murder. The US Constitution is the very definition of what it means to be an American, as you know.

Because all facts prove beyond doubt that a “1%” in government with complicit liars in corporate media have engaged in criminal Wars of Aggression, and to date there is no documented refutation of these facts, the elegantly simple solution to War Crimes is arrests of its obvious leaders.

Justice under law works with prima facie evidence; that is, if obviously valid facts are unchallenged, they are our best understanding. When law enforcement that currently serve the criminal 1% achieve this “emperor has no clothes” transformation, they will exercise their arrest authority.

Within 48 hours of the system going live hackers gain near complete control of the election server, successfully changed every vote and revealed almost every secret ballot.

Prior to rolling out a new electronic voting system officials decided to have hackers test the infrastructure for cyber vulnerabilities.
In less than 2 days, the hackers where able to completely take control of the system and change every single vote while going unnoticed, according to the the research paper published by the hackers (pdf).
Not only did the hackers take control of the new voting machine, but they managed to hack into and own the entire network including terminal servers, cisco switches, routers and firewalls.
They also were able monitor, through onsite video cameras which they also owned the sites, IT staff as they became angered and frustrated because the hackers locked them out of the buildings network.

The Justice Department on Thursday issued a 60-day stay of execution for hundreds of thousands of public pools which had been required to install ramps and wheelchair lifts by today or else face lawsuits over violating disability laws.

President Obama in 2010 dramatically expanded the rules for access under the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the new regulations mean that every publicly accessible pool — from municipal facilities to hotels — must have two "accessible means of entry," at least one of which must be a ramp or wheelchair lift. Spas must also have either a lift or a transfer system to help the disabled enter them, under the new rules.

Monsanto’s Roundup is Killing Human Kidney Cells

March 15, 2012
pesticideguys 220x137 Monsantos Roundup is Killing Human Kidney CellsMonsanto’s ‘biopesticide’ known as Bt is not only developing mutated insects and requiring excessive pesticide use, but new findings show that it is also killing human kidney cells — even in low doses. Amazingly, Monsanto’s superweed-breeding Roundup also has the same effect. Scientists have demonstrated in new research that the Bt pesticide, in addition to Monsanto’s best-selling herbicide Roundup, exhibit direct toxicity to human cells. The findings add to the long list of hazardous effects presented by Monsanto’s genetically modified creations.

These dangerous Bt crops currently engulf 39% of globally cultivated GMO crops, and Monsanto does not seem to be slowing down on their campaign to expand usage. Led by Gilles-Eric Séralini, a French scientist from the University of Caen, Séralini and his team are no strangers to the toxic effects of both Bt and glyphosate — the main component used in Roundup. Previously, Séralini and a group of other scientists found that Roundup is linked to infertility, killing testicular cells in rats. The report stated that within 1 to 48 hours of exposure, testicular cells of the mature rats were either damaged or killed.

Home Remedies for Wounds

woundhand 220x137 Home Remedies for WoundsAlthough cuts and wounds aren’t particularly threatening in nature, they can be quite painful as well as a nuisance. However, infections could result from cuts, so many individuals turn to some kind of pharmaceutical solution to clean the laceration because that is truly the only solution they know of. Along with nearly all other issues, though, cleaning and hastening the healing process of a cut or wound can be done with numerous natural solutions – not the all too common Neosporin.

Being recognized as one of nature’s mighty superfoods, honey has long been utilized for its antibacterial properties. One study published in the journal Microbiology found that honey prevented a type of streptococcus pyogenes from inhibiting the healing of wounds. Researchers conducting the lab tests found that even the smallest amount of honey was enough to kill off the majority of bacterial cells on the skin which infects the wound site. Honey could even be utilized to prevent wounds in the first place. Not only is the information presented by the study proof of honey’s healing power, but people have literally been benefiting from the topical use of honey over the course of history. You could also place a band aid over the thin layer of honey on the wound, and apply a thin layer of organic cold pressed coconut oil to further prevent infection.

It has special lanes for background-checked travelers, who can keep their shoes, belt and jacket on, leave laptops and liquids in carry-on bags and walk through a metal detector rather than a full-body scan. The process, now at two airlines and nine airports, is much like how screenings worked before the Sept. 11 attacks.

Truck Bomb in Afghanistan Makes “Try” For Panetta’s Plane

- US Marines Ordered to Place Weapons on the Ground -


                                              … by  Gordon Duff,  Senior Editor


Moments ago, a truck bomb exploded on a British airstrip in Helmand province in Afghanistan, believed to be an unsuccessful attempt to kill US Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta.  The driver survived with serious burns and is under arrest.
One British soldier is seriously injured.

From the UK Sun:
 
An individual inside the vehicle is receiving medical care for burns, sources  say.
The camp went into immediate lockdown and an investigation has been launched.
An Afghani is believed to have made the deliberate attempt on Mr Panetta after  he broke through defences and drove a vehicle towards his aircraft.
He then went past the perimeter surrounded by armed security and large  concrete block guards.

Disaster was only averted when the truck caught fire and crashed into a ditch  on the runway close to where Mr Panetta’s jet had landed or was set to land.
