Chickenpox Vaccination For All Children and Pregnant Women
Children and pregnant women could be routinely vaccinated against chickenpox.
Options being considered by government advisers include combining the jab with the MMR triple vaccine, creating a four-in-one shot.
The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation is also considering vaccinating adults against shingles, which is caused by the same virus.
But critics fear the vaccination will overload the immune systems of infants, who are already given 25 vaccines in ten shots by the age of 13 months.

Hundreds of Children's Details Added to Database Every Day
Many young people come to the attention of police when they are stopped during stop and search operations aimed at finding those carrying weapons.
In London the number of "at risk" children identified by the authorities has increased 10-fold to 7,000 every week.
More than 30,000 people across the capital have been trained by police to contribute information.
Scotland Yard has spent £4 million upgrading computer systems and bringing in extra staff to handle the deluge of information.

Schools 'To Have Their Own Police Officer'
Schools could have their own police officer under Government plans to increase the number of Safer School Partnerships (SSPs), which see a police officer based in a school or overseeing a group of schools.
The Government claims that the partnerships are "proving effective in improving behaviour and attendance" and help tackle criminal and anti-social behaviour - including knife, gun and drug crime - among pupils.
A total of 5,000 UK schools have already signed up to the scheme. To encourage more to join, a series of conferences for teachers, police and children's groups are to be held around the country.

Teams of 'Litter Officers' Film Residents In Case They Drop Litter
Environmental enforcement officers in Hackney, London, have handed out more than 100 fines to people dropping cigarette butts, sweet wrappers and crisp packets during a series of action days.
The 11 environmental enforcement officers have not been given video cameras but are able to record video on the mobile phones they have been issued to provide an "accurate verbal and visual record" of incidents, Hackney Council said.

British Chancellor On Verge of 2nd Bailout For the Illuminati Bankers
Alistair Darling has been forced to consider a second bailout for banks as the lending drought worsens.
The Chancellor will decide within weeks whether to pump billions more into the economy as evidence mounts that the £37 billion part-nationalisation last year has failed to keep credit flowing.

Israel's Insane War
Israel’s war in Gaza is an act of political insanity. It is the product of a deeply disturbed society, able neither to curb its military arrogance nor calm its profound paranoia. The consequences are likely to be painful for Israel’s long-term prospects.
By radicalising the Palestinians, and by arousing great anger in the Arab and Muslim world, this savage war rules out the possibility of Israel’s peaceful integration in the region for the foreseeable future. That may even be its cynical aim, since Israel wants dominance, not peaceful coexistence.

'Spy-in-Sky' Trials Get the Go-Ahead
Ministers are pressing ahead with a £10million trial of 'spy-in-the-sky' road-pricing technology despite widespread public opposition.
Test runs will start soon in seven locations for the scheme which could result in charges of up to £1.30 a mile on the most congested roads.
Volunteer drivers will have units fitted to their cars, which will be tracked by satellite and will automatically deduct payments from a test account.
The trials are proceeding despite previous statements from the Government suggesting that it had abandoned the idea of national road pricing.

Sea Ice Ends Year at Same Level as 1979
Thanks to a rapid rebound in recent months, global sea ice levels now equal those seen 29 years ago, when the year 1979 also drew to a close.
Ice levels had been tracking lower throughout much of 2008, but rapidly recovered in the last quarter. In fact, the rate of increase from September onward is the fastest rate of change on record, either upwards or downwards.

Processed People
When they're not busy picking our pockets, or telling us we have to give up liberties in order to have freedom, they're selling us garbage and telling us it's food.
Last time I checked, the manufactured food business is bigger than Big Oil and that kind of money buys inconceivably large amounts of propaganda, misinformation and corrupted science.
"Eat food"...
What a beautifully profound and revolutionary piece of advice.
TV Stunts Verbal Communication In Children
Toddlers could be screened for speech problems after evidence that many are so addicted to television and video games that they are failing to learn basic communication skills.The decline of the traditional family meal time, the long-hours culture in the parents' workplaces, poor childcare with little stimulation and social deprivation are also being blamed.

Let's just look a the alleged causes a second.
The decline of the family mealtime created by the PTB(powers that be) by developing the long hours at work culture and the need for both parents to work so that they have to put them in inadequate child care.
They go hand in hand and have been steadily manipulated by governments and shadow puppet masters to create exactly this problem. Dumb down society by any means possible

The Terrorist Donkey and The Israeli Army
The weakest and most cowardly army in the world, which considers itself as the strongest one targeted and bombed a donkey on the streets of Beit Lahiya in the northern Gaza Strip. The cowards of the Israeli Air forces fired a missile at the donkey which was pulling a cart while Lama and Haya Hamdan, two sister aged 4 and 11, were searching for some food for their impoverished family.

Unraveling The Myth Of Al Qaida
The myth of “al Qaida” is built on an expansive foundation of many half-truths and hidden facts. It is a CIA creation. It was shaped by the agency to serve as a substitute “enemy” for America, replacing the Soviets whom the Islamist forces had driven from Afghanistan. Unknown American officials, at an indeterminate point in time, made the decision to fabricate the tale of a mythical worldwide network of Islamic terrorists from the exploits of the Afghan Mujahedeen. The CIA already had their own network of Islamic militant “freedom fighters,” all that was needed were a few scattered terrorist attacks against US targets and a credible heroic figurehead, to serve as the “great leader.”

Globalism - A Gigantic Ponzi Scheme
The EU recommended in a study, published in August 2008, that all European citizens and European Banks should invest with Icelandic banks. The concept was that the Icelandic banks would transfer these funds, grabbed from gullible and deceived Europeans, to Jewish Wall Street Banksters, such as Lehman Brothers and fraudster Madoff. Iceland's banks collapsed only four weeks after the EU had published the Commission's study and investment recommendation.
Thousands of people lost their savings and pensions to fraudsters like Richard Fuld from Lehman and Bernie Madoff - via the Iceland concept.
This gigantic fraud was promoted by Israel's Icelandic puppet, president Ólsfur Ragnar GrÃmsson as "a distinct Icelandic entrepreneurial spirit".

Escaping The System
As a middle class American, it's been difficult for me to understand how we are supposed to make a living when there are so many things working against us. How can we go on day after day with the rising cost of food, fuel, utilities, car insurance, taxes and health care, while dealing with the insecurity of unemployment? In the past, whenever I considered these things, I felt a hopeless sense of impending doom in the pit of my stomach. There is so much talk about how to solve these issues, but nothing ever seems to stop the downward spiral of struggle and stress that millions of folks are experiencing.

Pediatricians Demand Annual Flu Shots for Infants as Vaccine-Pushing Doctors Descend into Extremist Quackery
Vaccinations are modern medicine's most-favored form of quackery. Even while the bulk of the evidence shows vaccines and flu shots ultimately harm more people than they help, they continue to be pushed by doctors, drug companies and state health authorities. Now you can add pediatricians to that list.
The American Academy of Pediatrics, a group of drug-pushing doctors that claim to care for children, is now demanding that parents get their children injected with an annual flu shot vaccine -- even for six-month-old babies! According to the new AAP guidelines, all children from six months to eighteen years old should receive an annual flu shot vaccine injection even though flu shots have been scientifically shown to be effective on only about one percent of those receiving them!
But here's the most disturbing part: The AAP is now aggressively attacking anyone who suggests flu shot vaccines should be spaced apart or skipped altogether in order to reduce the vaccine burden on a child.

Adults Could be Forced to Take Out Private Insurance to Cover Nursing Home Costs
Every adult could be forced to take out private insurance to cover the cost of their care in old age under plans being considered by the Government.
Taxpayers would have to pay hundreds of pounds in premiums every year while working, and would receive payouts if they later have to move into a nursing home.
The radical plan is being considered by ministers as a way to tackle the system of long-term support for the elderly in England, which is widely considered to be unfair, underfunded and too complex.

Clueless in Gaza: The Australian Greens
I’ve just about had it with the Australian Greens.
It’s not that I don’t like their environmental policies. I do. It’s not that I don’t think they have better policies and do a better job in the Australian Parliament than the major parties. They do, although that’s not hard.
My problem, with the Greens in Australia is that they behave like poodles on foreign affairs - and on most matters relating to the creeping police state.
They provide no voice for the millions of Australians disgusted at the Zionist bias in Australian mainstream politics. They have, it seems to me, chosen to be 'electable’ in terms defined by the mainstream media. That means they shut up when they’re told – and placate Zionists both within the party and outside. As a consequence, they are like quislings and useful idiots. It’s sad.

Northern Ireland's Environment Minister: Man Made Global Warming Is a Con
Spending billions on trying to reduce carbon emissions is one giant con that is depriving third world countries of vital funds to tackle famine, HIV and other diseases, Sammy Wilson said.
The DUP minister has been heavily criticised by environmentalists for claiming that ongoing climatic shifts are down to nature and not mankind.
But while acknowledging his views on global warming may not be popular, the East Antrim MP said he was not prepared to be bullied by eco fundamentalists.

However, the popular Czech statesman (finance minister, 1989-1992; prime minister, 1992-1997; president since 2003, reelected 2008) has become a hero to a growing tide of Europeans from Prague to London who are resisting the increasingly oppressive rule by the European Union’s bureaucrats in Brussels and the socialist-dominated European Parliament in Strasbourg.

Why Did Obama Appoint Napolitano To Head Homeland Security?
Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano has done little to protect the state from illegal immigration, and under her leadership Arizona is now tied for last place in the nation for emergency disaster preparedness.
So why has incoming president Barack Obama picked Napolitano for secretary of homeland security? It clearly has nothing to do with her record. She is leaving Arizona with the highest budget deficit ever, and the highest budget deficit per capita in the nation after California, at more than $2 billion.

Rampage in Gaza for a Bump in the Polls
Barak Obama has passed his first test with flying colors. He's made himself disappear so Israel can continue its killing spree in Gaza. The last time a president shrunk this small was when Ariel Sharon took his wrecking-ball through Jenin during the second intifada. Bush slipped down a mouse hole so Israel's "Man of Peace" could finish his dirty work unopposed. Now Obama has taken refuge in that same dark hideaway. What a relief it must be for his critics at AIPAC and the far-right think tanks to know that the next Commander in Chief will be every bit as compliant as the last.
That's "continuity they can believe in".

Israel’s Warped Self-justification For Murder
Paul J. Balles exposes Israel’s warped definition of self-defence, which it uses as a cover for its murder of innocent Palestinians, including women and children, and its destruction of universities, mosques and other civilian infrastructure in the occupied Gaza Strip.
Israel brazenly lies, saying that Hamas broke the cease-fire when it was Israel that broke the cease-fire in November.
In Haaretz, Zvi Barel writes: "Six months ago Israel asked and received a cease-fire from Hamas. It unilaterally violated it when it blew up a tunnel, while still asking Egypt to get the Islamic group to hold its fire.
"Israel continues its propaganda, claiming that its attack on Gaza is in self-defence
. The Huffington Post reports, "A mother whose three school-age children were killed, and are piled one on top of the other in the morgue, screams and then cries, screams again and then is silent."
Self-defence?
The New York Times reported: "At Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, women wailed as they searched for relatives among bodies that lay strewn on the hospital floor.
"Self-defence?
While the world is busy attempting to assess the damage from the financial crisis, Israel decides that it's a fitting time to massacre 350 and injure another 1500 in Gaza.
Self-defence?
In its propaganda dissemination, Israelis have been getting instruction on how to paint Israel as angels and Hamas as devils. What makes Hamas Beelzebubs? They have sent 1000 rockets into Israel, killing four Israelis altogether.
Self-defence?
The Israeli navy attacked and rammed a humanitarian boat in international waters off the coast of Gaza, preventing it from delivering desperately needed medical supplies and treatment.
Self-defence?
Eva Bartlett (Canadian), International Solidarity Movement, reported from inside Gaza on 27 December: "Israeli missiles tore through a children's playground and busy market in Diyar Balah. We saw the aftermath – many were injured and some reportedly killed.”
Self-defence?
Ewa Jasiewicz (Polish and British), Free Gaza Movement, observed: "The morgue at the Shifa Hospital has no more room for dead bodies, so bodies and body parts are strewn all over the hospital."
Self-defence?
Sharon Lock (Australian), International Solidarity Movement, writing from Gaza: "This massacre is not going to bring security for the State of Israel or allow it to be part of the Middle East. Now calls of revenge are everywhere."
Self-defence?
Jenny Linnel (British), International Solidarity Movement, reporting from Gaza: "In front of our house we found the bodies of two little girls under a car, completely burnt. They were coming home from school."
Self-defence?
Nora Barrows-Friedman, Flashpoints Radio, says: "The people [in Gaza] are filled with panic and terror – and this comes after a prolonged siege that deprives them of needed food, medicine, clean water, electricity – the basics of life."
Self-defence?
Laila El-Haddad, a mother from Gaza, writes: "My father just called to inform me he was OK – after warplanes bombed the Islamic University there, considered to be the Strip's premier academic institution." They also bombed a mosque. Why would the Israeli Air Force bomb a place of learning and one of prayer?
Self-defence?
Justin Alexander, writing for the Economist, notes: “"Israel's past military responses to the rocket threat, although massively disproportionate, have ... been largely ineffective. It demolished buildings and levelled large areas of farmland in the northern part of Gaza to reduce the cover available for rocket crews. It fired over 14,000 artillery shells in 2006, killing 59 Palestinian civilians in the process, in what was framed as a preventive tactic to make it more difficult for rocket crews to operate.”
Self-defence?
Haaretz ran an article by Gideon Levy reporting: “Within the span of a few hours on a Saturday [27 December] afternoon, the IDF sowed death and destruction on a scale that the Qassam rockets never approached in all their years, and Operation 'Cast Lead' is only in its infancy."
Self-defence?
Not on your life! Or death!

The Holocaust
Holocaust denial is anti-Semitic. But I’m not talking about World War II, Mahmoud Ahmedinijad, or Ashkenazi Jews. What I’m referring to is the holocaust we are all witnessing and responsible for in Gaza today and in Palestine over the last 60 years.
By definition, a holocaust is a mass slaughter of people or a thorough destruction involving extensive loss of life, especially through fire.
There isn’t a more accurate description of the hell that US-armed and –funded Israeli Occupation Forces are unleashing on the people of Gaza at this moment. Since Arabs are Semites, US-Israeli policy doesn’t get more anti-Semitic than this.
If you think I’m being grandiose, let us look at the words of Matan Vilnai, Israel’s Deputy Defense [sic] Minister, from February of this year: "The more Qassam [rocket] fire intensifies and the rockets reach a longer range, they will bring upon themselves a bigger shoah because we will use all our might to defend ourselves.”
In Hebrew, “shoah” refers to the Jewish Holocaust of the 1940's. But massive airstrikes are not self-defense if you are the aggressor. That goes for the whole stupid so-called “War on Terror,” in which not a single one of its victims had anything to do with the events of September 11, 2001.
That goes for the United States in Iraq and Afghanistan; that goes for Israel in Palestine.

Private Firm to Run Communications Super Database
The Home Office claims the new database, which can track phone calls and emails, is necessary in an advancing digital world to allow it to tackle terrorism and serious crime.
But Sir Ken MacDonald, the former Director of Public Prosecutions, said the multibillion pound behemoth would prove a "hellhouse" of personal private information that would inevitably leak into the public domain regardless of the stringent safeguards promised by Government.
"This database would be an unimaginable hellhouse of personal private information. It would be a complete readout of every citizen's life in the most intimate and demeaning detail. No government of any colour is to be trusted with such a roadmap to our souls."

Lights Out in Gaza, News Blackout in US
Despite international outcry over escalating violence, the U.S. mainstream media continues to privilege a prepackaged narrative in which Israel's actions are never disproportionate, never counterproductive and certainly never gratuitous. According to the mainstream media, the U.S. must continue uncompromisingly supporting Israel because the allegedly beleaguered democracy is held hostage by monomaniacal Islamofascists who are inherently evil.
Promoting a paradigm in which Israel is always David up against Goliath, the U.S. media presents suffering Palestinians as expendable for the greater cause of Israel winning its epic struggle. To justify U.S.'s carte blanche to Israel, the mainstream media restricts American readers to an echo chamber in which the following claims are repeated ad nausem until they are mistaken for fact:

Bernie Madoff showed us how it was done: you induce many investors to invest their money, promising steady above-market returns; and you deliver – at least on paper. When your clients check their accounts, they see that their investments have indeed increased by the promised amount. Anyone who opts to pull out of the game is paid promptly and in full. You can afford to pay because most players stay in, and new players are constantly coming in to replace those who drop out. The players who drop out are simply paid with the money coming in from new recruits.The scheme works until the market turns and many players want their money back at once. Then it’s game over: you have to admit that you don’t have the funds, and you are probably looking at jail time.
Welcome to the world of Central Banks!

Holocaust Remembrance: What's behind The Campaign
Since the late 1970s “Holocaust Remembrance” has become ever more important in the United States and many other countries. The campaign to remember the Holocaust -- often defined as the genocidal killing of six million Jews in Europe during the Second World War – includes numerous commemorative events, education courses in many schools, and a stream of motion pictures, television specials, books and magazine articles.
What’s behind the Holocaust remembrance campaign? Whose interests does it serve?

Two Dangerous Bush-Cheney Myths
As George W. Bush and Dick Cheney make their case for some positive legacy from the past eight years, two arguments are playing key roles: the notion that torturing terror suspects saved American lives and the belief that Bush’s Iraq troop “surge” transformed a disaster into something close to “victory.”The Twilight Zone
Barack Obama is the first American 'leader' to begin his administration as a lame duck. During his two year long campaign the candidate with zero experience claimed to be 'up to the job' of leading this nation. Yesterday he proved his critics were right: He is not qualified to lead anything other than a press-conference.
An unforeseen global crisis has erupted in Gaza with the declaration of 'All Out WAR' on the Palestinian people; and Obama hid behind a date on the calendar when what he might have said could have altered this entire situation.
When he was asked about Gaza, Obama mumbled a feeble excuse that clearly reflected his lack of appreciation for the depth and seriousness of the actual crisis that is in its fourth day. He said: 'If my daughters were living in a house that was being threatened by rocket attacks, I would do whatever it takes to end that situation.' Spoken like a true child of no-experience.

Volunteer 'Litter Police' to Patrol Villages
Volunteer "litter police" are to patrol villages and towns handing out on-the-spot fines, it has been reported.
Following a day of training on how to gather evidence, they will reportedly have the right to demand the name and address of anyone they see dropping rubbish up to the size of a bin bag .
Offenders who refuse to pay the fine will face prosecution in a magistrates' court.

Drivers to Have 10-year Health Checks Under Driver Licence Reforms
Drivers will have to declare every 10 years whether they are medically able to get behind the wheel, according to proposals to be set out early in the new year.
For the first time, the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) will issue a series of minimum physical and mental requirements motorists must fulfil including eyesight performance and reaction times.
Tests, costing up to £80, will be offered to drivers to check whether they are fit to drive.
Anyone who chooses not to take the tests but declares themselves able to take to the roads will be committing a criminal offence if they fail to meet the established standards.

Tories Plan Purge of Town Hall ‘Fat Cats’
Hundreds of town halls would no longer pay six-figure salaries to chief executives under Conservative plans for the biggest shake-up of councils for a generation, The Times can reveal.
Dozens of council chiefs who earn more than Cabinet ministers would lose their jobs as clusters of councils merged their frontline services and backroom operations to provide better value for money.

At Least 30 Children Killed In The Gaza Strip: Israeli Spokesperson States They Are A Legitimate Target
Not only are children in the Gaza Strip losing their parents, missing food, medicines and school, they are being killed.
Israeli forces took the lives of at least 30 children in Gaza since air attacks began on Saturday. A statement issued by the Global Movement for the Defense of Children says its initial reports indicate that another 150 children are injured.
The first children hit en masse were during struck during the beginning of the attacks when they were leaving school. Dozens of school children were raced to area hospitals in Gaza City on Saturday. Among the children killed are the sisters in Jabaliya yesterday and the eight year old boy today in Khan Younis.
The British university movement to boycott Israel wrote in their petition, "'Children,' says an Israeli spokeswoman, 'are legitimate targets because if they inhabit a house allegedly being used to manufacture home-made rockets to fire into Israel, they are 'terrorists' themselves.'"

Vitamin B1 Reverses Kidney Damage in Diabetics, So Why Won't Doctors Recommend It?
New research shows that the low-cost vitamin Thiamine (vitamin B1) reverses kidney damage in diabetics, restoring the ability of the kidneys to function without allowing proteins to spill over into the urine.
The finding proves that a very low-cost treatment is highly effective and could serve as a low-cost nutritional therapy for diabetics, ultimately saving tens of millions of dollars a year in medical treatment costs in the U.S. alone.
The research was conducted at Warwick University in the UK. Predictably, the UK version of the American Diabetes Association (called "Diabetes UK") took the new evidence as an opportunity to tell people to avoid nutritional therapies.
As reported by the BBC, Dr. Iain Frame said, "We would like to stress that it's still too early to come to any firm conclusions about the role of vitamin B1 and we would not advise that people look to vitamin supplements to reduce their risk of kidney complications at this stage.
"In other words, it's the same advice diabetics get in the United States: Don't you dare use vitamins to enhance and protect your health... use pharmaceuticals instead!

Homeland Security: Respect Civil Rights
Americans have a right to move about without fear of being groundlessly stopped by law enforcement. As far as we know, that constitutional right applies to all Americans, not just the minority who live far removed from the nation's borders.In what is proving to be a sweeping Bush administration security initiative, the Department of Homeland Security has expanded use of its authority to operate within 100 miles of the border. That has come to include increasingly frequent use of roadblocks in Western Washington.

Israeli Navy Attacking International Civilian Mercy Ship!
The Dignity, a Free Gaza boat on a mission of mercy to besieged Gaza, is being attacked by the Israeli Navy in international waters. The Dignity has been surrounded by at least half-a-dozen Israeli warships. They are firing live ammunition around the Dignity, and one of the warships has rammed the civilian craft causing an unknown amount of damage.
Contrary to international maritime law, the Israelis are actively preventing the Dignity from approaching Gaza or finding safe haven in either Egypt or Lebanon. Instead, the Israeli navy is demanding that the Dignity return to Cyprus - despite the fact that the ship does not carry enough fuel to do so. Fortunately, no one aboard the ship has yet been seriously injured.

Obama The Magic Negro
If it were not so hypocritical, it would be comical how Democrats and their media allies have created a media firestorm over a parody on racism in the Democratic Party. The Democrats' display of rank hypocrisy on race is a familiar scenario. First, Democrats exhibit vile racism. Then, any Republican who points out the Democrats' display of vile racism is attacked by Democrats as being racist.

Can The People Save The Constitution?
A militarized police state is coming to this country—into your own neighborhood, and with you and your family as its targets—unless you start, right now, to enforce the Constitution, as is your right and your duty.
In addition to their long-standing strategy of “federalizing” and para-militarizing State and Local police departments under the General Government’s Department of Homeland Security, the big brains in the Disgrace of Columbia have two additional schemes openly in the works: (i) the overtly military, which depends upon the deployment of the Armed Forces as domestic police; and (ii) the covertly military, which depends upon the creation of SOME new, ostensibly civilian, “national-security force.”
The question is, “What should patriotic Americans do about this situation?”

Israel: Don't Even Speak About Peace
Israel's envoy to the United Nations says that there will be no negotiations about peace, as Tel Aviv attacks Gazan civilians for a third day. The outgoing Bush administration has also thrown its full support behind Tel Aviv's bloody assault, blaming Hamas for provoking the offensive by firing rockets into Israel from Gaza.

US Veto Blocks UN Anti-Israel Resolution
The UN Security Council has been unable to force an end to Israeli attacks against Gaza due to the intervention of the United States.
Washington once again used its veto powers on Sunday to block a resolution calling for an end to the massive ongoing Israeli attacks against the Gaza Strip.
The council has only been able to issue a 'non-binding' statement that calls on Israel to voluntarily bring all its military activities in the besieged region to an immediate end.

2008 Was The Year Man-made Global Warming Was Disproved
Looking back over my columns of the past 12 months, one of their major themes was neatly encapsulated by two recent items from The Daily Telegraph.
The first, on May 21, headed "Climate change threat to Alpine ski resorts" , reported that the entire Alpine "winter sports industry" could soon "grind to a halt for lack of snow". The second, on December 19, headed "The Alps have best snow conditions in a generation" , reported that this winter's Alpine snowfalls "look set to beat all records by New Year's Day".

The Jewish Third Reich
The pornographic mass slaughter perpetrated by Israel in the Gaza Strip on Saturday, 27 December, once again reveals the Nazi nature of the Zionist state.It also underscore the genocidal nature and brutal ugliness of the Zionist mentality, a mentality based on and shaped by murder, bullying, coercion, aggression, brutality and criminality.
Furthermore, it shows that Israel is capable, both mentally and physically, of carrying out a real holocaust against the Palestinian people and other peoples of the Middle East.
In fact, it is quite safe to say that there are no moral restrictions that would prevent Israel from committing the unthinkable, namely a campaign of extermination against the Palestinian people.
Zionism is simply Jewish Nazism, pure and simple, and the Israeli army is in fact "the" Jewish Wehrmacht. Jews may not like the comparisons, but the Nazi reality of Israel is as conspicuous as the sun in a bright day.Undoubtedly, this is the message that governments and leaders all over the Arab-Muslim Middle East ought to understand and internalize. It is brief and simple: If you are not powerful enough to deter the Nazis of our time, you will be attacked, enslaved and even annihilated.
For the Judeo-Nazis, e.g. the Israeli state, the Palestinians are nothing more than "a test case" which would be applied later to Turks, Iranians and, of course, other Arab peoples in the region.
In short, the writing is on the wall, and if Muslims and Arabs don’t possess sufficient physical power to deter the expansionistic whims of the Judeo Nazis, what is happening to the Palestinians in Gaza will happen to them, perhaps sooner than many people think.
Far-fetched? Well, don’t be too sure. In 1948, Zionist leaders told the world that all they wanted was a small shelter that would protect Jews from another possible holocaust. Today, the "small shelter" has grown into a wild Nazi-like power that is committing a virtual holocaust against the unprotected the Palestinian people.
Well, the murderous onslaught against unprotected and thoroughly starved people in the besieged Gaza Strip is a cowardly act of immense proportions. What else can be said of F-16 fighter aircraft and Apache Helicopters being used to rain death and havoc unto unprotected and unfortified police headquarters?
Israel often argues that refraining from killing innocent people represents Christian, not Jewish morality, as many Israeli leaders have said ad nauseam.Well, if so, then this should a clear Jewish vindication of all the crimes that the Nazis perpetrated against Jews and non-Jews several decades ago.
Besides, even in war there is proportionality, a principle that Israel has ignored rather wantonly by killing dozens or hundreds of mostly innocent Palestinians and Lebanese as a reprisal for the death of a Jewish soldier or settler.
Israel says its enemy is Hamas, not the Palestinian people. This is a big lie that is meant to gain the sympathy of the western world, given the success of Zionist hasbara, through the Jewish-controlled media in Europe and North America, in demonizing the Palestinian Islamic liberation movement.
Otherwise, why would Israel blockade and starve and savage millions of Palestinians who have nothing to do with Hamas.?
We are talking about ordinary people, people who struggle to make ends meet, people who toil from sunrise to sunset to put food on the table for their children. It is mostly these people who are being killed and maimed and starved by the Judeo-Nazi entity.
The Black Saturday massacre, which by no means will be the last, is a damning proof that Israel can only survive by shedding blood.
Without shedding blood, without threatening its neighbors, without killing their children and destroying their homes, without tormenting and savaging them, Israel wouldn’t be Israel. It would be some entirely different.
Israel is simply a cancer upon humanity. If you don’t eradicate it, it will eradicate you. This is the harsh fact the people of the Middle East must come to terms with, hopefully before it is too late.
Although the executive mass murderer, Israel non the less shouldn’t be held solely responsible for the genocidal carnage in Gaza.
Treacherous Arab regimes are also guilty of giving Israel the impression that it can murder Palestinians at will without having to worry about any negative ramifications from the Arab world.
It is really lamentable that powerful states such as Egypt and Saudi Arabia appear so timid and so powerless in the face of the Judeo Nazi state that they appear completely impotent.
We all know that tens of billions of dollars’ worth of modern arms have been purchased to protect Arab interests. So, where are the Arab armies? Where are the Arab air forces? Where is the Arab dignity?
To be sure, the Palestinians have long given up on Arab regimes and don’t expect these regimes to protect them or fight on their behalf. For in the final analysis, a regime that has no good for its own people, can’t be expected to defend the Palestinians or fight for their just cause.
In fact, all that the Palestinians want from these regimes is to stop colluding and conspiring with Israel against them. Is that asking for too much?
But the real message ought to be conveyed to the Arab masses, not the regimes that are conspicuously morally, politically and even humanly bankrupt.
The Arab masses have a religious and moral duty to depose these hateful despots whose main job has been to torment and savage their peoples on behalf of the United States and Israel.
Otherwise, the Arabs will continue to move from bad to worse as they have been ever since the downfall of the Ottoman state following the First World War.
God simply doesn’t change the condition of a people unless they are willing to change it themselves.

Top Tory's Role at Firm That Plugs Labour Health Policy
The row over lucrative second jobs held by David Cameron’s front bench took an embarrassing twist last night after it was revealed that the Shadow Health Secretary is a director of a marketing agency that helps to mount Government health campaigns.
Andrew Lansley, who annoyed the Tory leader last month by writing that recession ‘can be good for us’, works four days a year at Profero, which has won contracts including the ‘talk to Frank’ anti-drugs campaign and the £372million anti-obesity drive.
The party refused to say how much Mr Lansley earned for the post but stressed his contract states his role should not conflict with his political duties.
The revelation – seized on by Labour – will confirm Mr Cameron’s fears that ‘moonlighting’ by 16 of the 22 members of his Shadow Cabinet could be a liability.

Sex Offenders Volunteer For 'Chemical Castration' Drug Treatment
So far 11 men have put themselves forward for the pioneering project, according to the Ministry of Justice.
Those receiving the treatment, which has been dubbed “chemical castration”, include prison inmates and offenders who have been released from custody and are living in the community.
They are being given Prozac, which reduces their sex drive, or other categories of drugs known as anti-androgens.
Ministers are now being asked to set up a national clinic dedicated to handing out the medication to paedophiles and rapists who volunteer for the treatment.
The current project, which is being overseen by Professor Don Grubin, a forensic psychiatrist at Newcastle University's Institute of Neuroscience, could be the first step towards wider use of the technique.
However, experts have warned that it could prove impractical to impose the medication on sex offenders in a compulsory programme.

Eco-town Proposals Receive Fresh Blow
The Government's flagship "eco-town" strategy has suffered another damaging blow after an independent report said one of the proposed towns was "unworkable".
The Pennbury plan for a 12,000 home development near Leicester is one of 12 shortlisted by ministers as part of their plans to build a string of environmentally sustainable new towns across the country.
But a leading consultancy on urban design and planning has damned the Pennbury scheme, submitted by the Co-operative supermarket and property group, as economically "unsustainable", "ambiguous" and "fundamentally weak".

Glastonbury Turns It's 'Negative Energy' On Pioneering Wi-Fi System
The residents of Glastonbury, which has long been a favoured destination for pilgrims, are at the centre of a bitter row in which many blame the town's new wireless computer network - known as wi-fi - for a spate of health problems.
Some healers even hold that electro-magnetic fields (EMFs) generated by the wi-fi system are responsible for upsetting positive energy fields of the body, which are known as chakras, and positive energy fields of the earth, which are known as ley lines.
There are now calls for the project, the first of its kind in Britain, to be "unplugged" and for wi-fi masts in the centre of the Somerset market town to be removed just seven months into its experimental run.
Meanwhile soothsayers, astrologers and other opponents of the wi-fi system have resorted to an alternative technology - known as "orgone" - to combat the alleged negative effects of the high-tech system.

CCTV Used to 'Spy' on Pupils in Schools
The surveillance equipment is in use in around 85 primary and secondary schools and colleges across the country.
Classwatch, the company behind the system, says it is being used as a way to monitor children who are disrupting lessons.
The firm said the equipment, which is sold with evidence bags approved by the Crown Prosecution Service to store material for court cases, can be used to compile "proof" of wrongdoing.
The system includes ceiling-mounted microphones and cameras and a hard drive recorder housed in a secure cabinet.
They cost around £3,000 to install in each classroom or can be leased for about £50 a month for each classroom.
Data protection watchdog the Information Commissioner has warned the surveillance may be illegal and demanded to know why schools are using it.

It's A Holiday Celebration For The Synagogue Of Satan
Some celebrate the holidays with giving and fellowship; making up for the rest of the year when they can’t see the profit in it or it involves that extra effort that is better spent sitting on one’s ass and being entertained in lieu of an existence.
Some opt for the religious angle and enjoy recreations of events for which no historical data exists.
Some opt for the spiritual and we have no way of knowing what they are doing. Some look at it as an excuse to be more lubricated than usual and for some it is an opportunity to be more depressed than usual and some… some like to war on their neighbors because that is how they celebrate their holy days.
Chief among the latter is the serial killer, theme park known as Israel.

Cinema-style Age Ratings For Websites By Jim Porter
An article from yesterday’s Guardian follows. My comments are in bold.
**** *** ****
Internet sites could be given government-approved age ratings to prevent children accessing inappropriate material, a cabinet minister has suggested, in a move that is likely to trigger fears over web censorship.
What a classic sentence from our ‘impartial’ media. There’s no chance of any of these mainstream newspapers (floating down the main stream together, oblivious as to where it leads) saying: “Wrong, wrong! The internet does not need censoring!”
Whether they realise it or not, these newspapers are the mouthpiece of the Government.
And why is it always ‘fears’ that have to be triggered?

En Route To Military Rule
We no longer have a civilian-led government.”This ominous conclusion comes to us from Thomas A. Schweich, who held the title of deputy assistant secretary of state for international law enforcement affairs in the Bush Regime, by way of a December 21 Washington Post op-ed column. Lamenting “the silent military coup d’etat that has been steadily gaining ground below the radar screen of most Americans and the media,” Schweich describes the infusion of the military “into a striking number of aspects of civilian government” as “the most unnerving legacy of the Bush administration.”

" A conspiracy theory is the belief that historical or current events are the result of manipulations by one or more secretive powers or conspiracies."Where on Earth might one hear of such a paranoid idea? How about from President John F. Kennedy?
Or how about President Eisenhower? Watch this segment of the entire Eisenhower farewell below:
Click here for a page with links to articles by many authors stating their case regarding conspiracy theories. Some of the authors state that they "Don't believe any conspiracy theories." I don't see how it is reasonable for a person to state that they don't believe in any conspiracy ever - especially when many have historically been found to be true! And remember - theory precedes conclusion until evidence has been gathered. Also - what good would a police detective be that NEVER considered conspiracy in their efforts to solve crimes - all crimes? The point is - don't let anyone convince you to discount conspiracy - first look at the evidence. Stop and think - if you were guilty of conspiracy, and the law was hot on your trail - wouldn't it be in your best interest to point and laugh at the detectives and claim they were "crazy conspiracy theorists?"
That said - let's continue...

America the Illiterate
We live in two Americas. One America, now the minority, functions in a print-based, literate world. It can cope with complexity and has the intellectual tools to separate illusion from truth. The other America, which constitutes the majority, exists in a non-reality-based belief system. This America, dependent on skillfully manipulated images for information, has severed itself from the literate, print-based culture. It cannot differentiate between lies and truth. It is informed by simplistic, childish narratives and clichés. It is thrown into confusion by ambiguity, nuance and self-reflection. This divide, more than race, class or gender, more than rural or urban, believer or nonbeliever, red state or blue state, has split the country into radically distinct, unbridgeable and antagonistic entities.

Gaza Endless Israeli Atrocities
Today was the end of the world...for hundreds of unarmed civilians, including children. The Israeli military, one of the most powerful military forces on earth, has held the 1.5 million civilians captive within Gaza for years. Like the "dog in the manger," Israel has also deprived these civilians of the most basic necessities of life, such as food and water. Still not satisfied with their under-reported, nearly black-out atrocities against Palestinian civilians; not satisfied with the hunger, fear, malnutrition, misery and slow death Israel has delivered to the Palestinians; not satisfied with the Palestinian homes, lands and orchards Israel has already stolen from rightful Palestinian owners, the Israeli interlopers have now ordered their massive military to bomb Gaza neighborhoods in a ferocious air attack that has reportedly killed hundreds of civilians.
Israel justifies this latest brutality by claiming that they cannot "tolerate" the homemade, sugar-propelled Qassam projectiles fired out of Gaza toward Israeli "settlements" such as Sderot. The fact, however, is that the Qassam projectiles rarely hit anything other than desert sand as was even noted by Israeli Defense Minister, Yaakov Toran. He stated, "We need to remember that Qassams are more a psychological than physical threat."
Sderot is located upon the ashes of the former Palestinian village of Nadj. According to a book by Dr. Walid Khalidi, ("All That Remains: The Palestinian Villages Occupied and Depopulated By Israel in 1948") the Palestinian inhabitants of Nadj were driven out of their village when this village was ethnically cleansed by Israeli settlers in 1948. Nadj is but one of at least 418 Palestinian villages that were ethnically cleansed by Israeli "settlers" who invaded Palestine from other countries and claimed ownership of the country.

Obama On Gaza: 'No Comment'
There was no immediate comment on the Israeli air strikes on Gaza from Obama, who is vacationing with his family in Hawaii, or his staff.”
This is how our incoming President has reacted to the worst attack on the Palestinian people in 20 years – by not reacting at all.
The Bush White House, of course, has responded as we all know they would: Israel-has-the-right-to-defend itself, let the killing begin, etc., ad nauseum.
And don’t expect much better from the Obama camp. Remember how he scolded the UN for daring to even discuss the Gaza situation?:
“We have to understand why Israel is forced to do this… Israel has the right to respond while seeking to minimize any impact on civilians. The Security Council should clearly and unequivocally condemn the rocket attacks… If it cannot bring itself to make these common sense points, I urge you to ensure that it does not speak at all.”
With his silence – or, at least, his very delayed reaction – it seems clear that Obama is taking his own advice.
Even as Israel takes the possibility of a new page in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict off the agenda, and sabotages all his brave talk about a renewed US diplomatic effort, the great “liberal” hope is apparently tongue-tied.
And when he finally speaks, “progressives” should prepare for the worst: after all, this is someone who endorsed the Israeli re-invasion of Lebanon.
The Israeli-Palestinian “peace process”? The Israelis, for their part, are having none of it – and neither is our future President.
Gaza carnage: Obama's Litmus Test
The Israeli bombardment of Gaza Saturday left at least 230 dead and 800 wounded, making it the biggest such atrocity in 60 years of Israel-Palestine conflict.
In an interview with ISNA News Agency in Tehran on Saturday, the head of the Iranian Parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, Alaeddin Boroujerdi stated that the United Sates and other Western backers of the Zionist entity must be held accountable for the Gaza carnage.
Without their full support the Zionists would lack the effrontery to launch such a large-scale onslaught on defenseless Palestinians, he noted.
