Norman Berry, 64, was without his pension credit and disability benefit for five weeks after losing his Post Office card on holiday.
Repeated attempts were made by family members to obtain a replacement, who were told that a new card could not be issued without officials talking to Mr Berry, from Stechford, Birmingham, to authorise it.
Mr Berry's sister, Jean Spencer, said she explained to customer services that her brother could not speak or hear, but said they would not accept it.

Mail Carriers To Bring Drugs In Anthrax Attack
Government mail carriers would deliver emergency supplies of antibiotics to people in U.S. cities in the case of an anthrax attack, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services officials said on Wednesday.
The system has been tested in three large cities -- Seattle, Philadelphia and Boston -- and a pilot program is set to begin soon in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area in Minnesota.
HHS Secretary Mike Leavitt said there was no evidence any attack was imminent but that it was important for authorities to have a quick distribution system ready.

Now Police are Ordered To Pay Convicts For Giving Advice On Fighting Crime
Police forces have been ordered to ask convicts to give them advice on fighting crime.
Criminals can join new groups which may be involved in the planning of major police investigations - including operations to tackle terrorism, people-smuggling and Class A drug dealing.
They will have their expenses paid if they join the Independent Advisory Groups which are being set up to address 'diversity issues'.
The idea is that the panels act as 'critical friends', offering guidance on how local police are seen by the people they serve.
It is also claimed that by consulting over future operations - such as raids - the groups can tackle the 'distrust of the police service endemic in certain minority communities'.
The Association of Chief Police Officers has told forces to advertise for volunteers - and added that criminals are welcome to apply.
The guidance states that there should be a 'presumption in favour of appointing the applicant'.
They can even continue as advisers if they are caught committing a crime while serving on one of the panels, the document adds.
Some members are allowed access to confidential police intelligence, and will have to sign the Official Secrets Act.

UK Faces Major Terror Plot, Warns Minister - Just Hours After Government Ditches 42-day Detention Plan
Security minister Lord West last night claimed that 'another great plot' is being investigated by the police and security services.
The warning of a potential new terrorist attack came as a dramatic intervention in a House of Lords debate over new terrorism powers.
Lord West, the Home Office's counter-terrorism minister, declared: 'There is another great (terrorist) plot building up again and we are monitoring this.'
The threat is 'huge', he added. The former head of the Royal Navy, and part of Gordon Brown's so-called 'Government of all the talents', gave no further details.

Obama And The Coming Military State
A NEW MILITARISM is now emerging in America and Barack Obama is about to become the figurehead for a militarized US nation. Why do I say this?
I say this because the new ruling elite in America, as outlined by Webster Tarpley of Rense.com, is a “Trilateral” hawkish group made up of Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, David Rockefeller, and his 79 year old protege, Zbigniew Brzezinski.
Add Henry Paulson into this “Principals Committee” and you have along with Rockefeller, the international Zionist bankers in the “Trilateral” mix.
Obama appears in every photo-op as if he’s the cat that swallowed the presidential mouse. I think Obama knows something that only his enablers, Gates & Brzezinski, know for sure. And this should not surprise anyone in our day of “electronic votes” which can easily be manipulated by powerful figures who not only control the US military but electronic voting machines as well.

NHS Trust To Buy £400,000 Yacht
Hull Teaching Primary Care Trust is behind the scheme designed to help improve the long-term health prospects of teenagers.
It aims to remove 150 jobless people, initially those aged 17 to 19, from the unemployment register each year and engage them in training.
Ten week programmes would include two weeks at sea on the yacht, like those used in the round-the-world Clipper race, operated by a new organisation called the Wilberforce Sailing Academy.
The £400,000-a-year running costs would also be met from public funds.
One Hull, a body involving public, private and voluntary bodies, has already earmarked 1.345 million pounds to cover running the yacht until March 2011.
Steve Brady, leader of Hull city council's Labour group, said: "What I am absolutely concerned about is the misuse of public money.

State’s Intervention Swells Public Sector To Over Six Million
Gordon Brown’s decision to nationalise some of Britain’s biggest high street banks will push the number of public sector employees to more than six million for the first time.
In some parts of the country almost one in three workers will be employed by the State, as bankers and financiers join nurses, doctors and council workers on the government payroll.
Overnight 233,000 staff from the Royal Bank of Scotland, 70,000 from Lloyds TSB, 65,000 from HBOS and 3,035 from Bradford & Bingley will effectively have a new boss. They will join the 6,500 who have already come over from Northern Rock and push total numbers of public sector staff to 6.12 million.
The widening public sector is now sprouting tentacles in a number of new areas, as construction companies, advertising agencies and management consultants turn to the State for gainful employment.

More Than A Million Homeowners Use The Credit Card To Pay Off The Mortgage And The Gas Bills
More than one million homeowners have resorted to taking out cash on their credit cards to pay their mortgage and essential bills, research suggests today.
A report accuses the banks of 'cashing in' on their customers who are 'desperate to get their hands on cash whatever the price'.
Withdrawing cash on a credit card is incredibly expensive, and involves a much higher interest rate than using a credit card to go shopping.
Typically, you are charged two per cent of the cash amount taken out, or a minimum of £5, and interest starts clocking up immediately.
On average, the APR (annual percentage rate) is a crippling 30 per cent. It has shot up in recent years from just 21.2 per cent in 2005.
The report, from the price comparison website Uswitch.com, found soaring numbers of borrowers are relying on getting out cash in this 'emergency' method.

Mortgage Lenders Make A Mockery Of Master Plan To Unfreeze Market By Making Loans MORE Expensive
Banks turned the screw on the property market as the number of mortgages available became more expensive and increasingly harder to get hold of.
The moves make a mockery of the Government's master plan to unfreeze the mortgage market.
Northern Rock, the first bank to be nationalised earlier this year, pointedly ignored last week's emergency interest rate cut by the Bank of England.

Cover-Up As Special Branch Officer Admits Changing Evidence At de Menezes Inquest?
A Special Branch officer is at the centre of a cover-up row after he admitted changing evidence during the Stockwell inquest.
The policeman, named only as Owen, deleted a line in his computer notes last week, which claimed his boss Deputy Assistant Commissioner Cressida Dick initially said Jean Charles de Menezes could 'run on to Tube as not carrying anything'.
But today he said: 'On reflection, I looked at that and thought I cannot actually say that.'

The Seduction of Sarah Palin: Eugenics, CNP, and the Pioneer Fund
No one on America's political stage today has more motivation to oppose eugenics than Sarah Palin. The Alaskan Governor and Vice-Presidential running mate has learned experientially about the sanctity of life. In April, she gave birth to a baby boy with Down syndrome. When she first learned that the child would be born with the birth defect, Palin chose life in a situation where 90 percent of women have an abortion. Lisa Demer has correctly described Palin "as anti-abortion as a politician can be".
It was, therefore, disturbing to learn that Palin had been vetted by a secretive group with connections to the eugenics movement. In a September 1, 2008 article for The Nation, Max Blumenthal reported that the "members of the Council for National Policy are the hidden hand behind McCain's Palin pick". According to Blumenthal, the Council for National Policy (CNP) met at a hotel in downtown Minneapolis the week of the Democratic National Convention to acquaint themselves with Palin. The article also stated that the Palin selection secured McCain the support of the conservative movement and that CNP participant James Dobson "may soon emerge from his bunker in Colorado Springs to endorse McCain, providing the Republican nominee with the backing of the Christian right's single most influential figure" '

Barack Obama Joined Marxist-Socialist Third Party In 1990s
Democratic candidate Barack Obama was a member of the socialist New Party during the 1990s, according to new evidence unearthed by we bloggers, receiving the party’s endorsement for his state Senate run in 1996. Reports earlier this summer that Obama was associated with the New Party were vigorously denied by the Obama campaign and the New Party, but researchers examining Internet archives have found New Party documents clearly indicating Obama was a member of the party, received its endorsement, encouraged Party members to work wih him in the Illinois statehouse, and signed a contract agreeing to maintain a relationship with the Marxist-led party during his senate term.

Illuminati Bankers Seek "Revolution" by Economic Means
The Illuminati bankers had us where they wanted Friday. Everyone was in a panic, dumping anything of real value -- gold, real estate, oil -- and rushing into US dollars, a medium of exchange created by the Illuminati bankers out of nothing with the help of their government lackeys.Why the sudden appeal of US dollars? There is a huge shortage of them because the bankers put our money into mortgages and then they crashed the housing market. Trillions disappeared. Now their lackeys in government have to "borrow" trillions to make up the deficit. The result: the bankers are trillions richer.Did they do this deliberately? Do you think Rich Fuld, the CEO of Lehman Brothers, got a $250 million sendoff for driving his company into bankruptcy? No, that's likely his payoff for selling out his employees and his country. Multiply that throughout the financial industry.

Donald Rumsfeld - The Psychological Patterns Are Wearing Off...
"Shocking excerpts of confidential recordings recently released under the Freedom of Information Act feature former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld talking with top military analysts about how a flagging Neo-Con political agenda could be successfully restored with the aid of another terrorist attack on America. The tape also includes a conversation where Rumsfeld and the military analysts agree on the possible necessity of installing a brutal dictator in Iraq to oversee U.S. interests.
Peers Throw Out 42-Day Detention
The government's plans to extend terror detention limits to 42 days have been heavily defeated in the House of Lords.
Peers voted to keep the current 28-day limit on pre-charge detentions by 309 votes to 118 - a majority of 191.

Pakistan Parliament To Summon 'General'
The ruling PPP says Pakistani lawmakers may summon ex-Gen. Pervez Musharraf for pursuing the US-led war on terror in the country. In an interview with a private television channel on Monday, Pakistan People's Party (PPP) Spokesman Farhatullah Babar said, PPP supports the statement of Muslim League-N Chief, Nawaz Sharif, to summon Pervez Musharraf to the Pakistani parliament. "Musharraf should tell the parliament how many citizens were arrested and sent to foreign countries during his tenure," Babar said. Babar's comments come in response to former premier Nawaz Sharif as he renewed his demand for bringing ex-president Musharraf to trial for his actions during his nine-year rule. Sharif says Musharraf should be summoned to the parliament to reveal agreements forged with the US in the war on terror.

What Has The Economic Crisis Got To Do With The Large Haldron Collider
The very day the US securities and exchange commission, fearing catastrophic collapse of the US stock market, banned short selling, the Large Hadron Collider in Europe allegedly suffered a catastrophic failure…
On September 19, 2008, Professor Stephen Hawking and John C. Taylor unveiled to the world the “Corpus Clock”, a mysterious clock now on display outside of the Taylor Library at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, UK. Stephen Hawking returned from the launch of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to unveil the clock.
John C. Taylor said that the clock “is terrifying. It is meant to be… I view time as not on your side. He’ll eat up every minute of your life…” He refers to the “Chronophage,” the locust at the top of the clock as “demonic”, and states “Time is gone. He’s eaten it.”
The inscription at the base of this mysterious clock, which incorporates six undisclosed patented inventions, and which had components constructed at a secret military research facility in Holland, is from the Vulgate translation of John 2:17: “Mundus transit et concupiscentia eius” … “The world passeth away, and the lust thereof.”
This passage is in reference to John 2:13 to John 2:16, in which Jesus throws the moneychangers out of the Temple.
On September 19, 2008, the US securities and exchange commission, fearing total collapse of the US stock market, banned short selling, and the Large Hadron Collider allegedly suffered a catastrophic failure. Stephen Hawking had a $100 bet that the collider would fail to find the Higgs-Boson particle, otherwise known as “The God Particle.”
On September 20, 2008, Treasury secretary Henry Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke told Congress they must back a government buy up of $700bn dollars of bad mortgages.
We, a group of concerned individuals, have since the unveiling of the Corpus Clock been conducting heavy research concerning the creators of this clock, and the strange occult symbolism embedded within it’s design.

Struggling Americans May Get More Food Stamps
Nancy Pelosi, the Democratic Speaker of the House of Representatives, is leading efforts to devise a new $150 billion (£88 billion) lifeline for low income Americans.
Ms Pelosi wants to galvanise backing for a new financial stimulus package to increase the US food-stamp programme and extend unemployment benefits. It is understood that she is also proposing that federal funds be used for new public infrastructure projects to create jobs.
Food stamps date back to 1943, and are part of a federal programme that gives very low-income families an allowance to spend on groceries. The allowance is distributed on to debit cards which can be used in supermarkets across the country, and recipients are also eligible to claim free school meals for their children.A record 28 million Americans now receive food stamps at a cost to the Government of almost $30 billion a year.

Don't make me laugh !
Nancy Pelosi and her criminal buddies in Congress have two aims with this proposal
1. Cover their asses so the American public will think twice about booting them out of office come the elections.
2. Make the American public more and more dependant upon the state for it existance.
Note they say it will be supported to be implemented AFTER the elections
All part of the plan so don't fall for it !

Council Spends £400,000 Teaching Staff To 'Think Positively' Using Paul McKenna Techniques
Hundreds of county council staff are to be taught how to think positively using controversial psychological training techniques endorsed by TV hypnotist Paul McKenna.
A town hall is spending £1,000 a head to send 400 staff on a 'leadership improvement programme' in which workers will be taught to 'adopt a successful mindset'.
The courses, for all grades of staff from manual workers to managers, include techniques used by celebrity hypnotist Paul McKenna.
The course involves a technique called 'neuro-linguistic programming', which was developed in the 1970s and which is supposed to bring psychological strength to those who receive it. Critics call the technique a fake and say its claims are dressed up to appear scientifically respectable. Suffolk's spending priorities have attracted increasing local attention over the past few days.

Council Spends £5000 On Signs In Braille ... For Non-Existent Blind Squash Players
Council chiefs spent more than £5,000 on Braille signs to advise squash players which sports shoes were acceptable and about safety on court.
One player at Halesowen Leisure Centre in the West Midlands said: 'While blind people participate in all kinds of sport, including football, they don't play squash. 'So I can't understand why the signs in the squash court area are in Braille.'
The Royal National Institute of Blind People said: 'Blind and visually-impaired people are able to play many sports but not squash.'

100,000 Polish Workers Say Goodbye To Britain As Jobs Become Harder To Find
Around 100,000 Polish workers have quit Britain over the past year, ministers said yesterday.
The retreat has come as jobs become harder to find and the pound has weakened against European currencies.
Officials now believe that as many as half of those who flooded in from Eastern Europe after the EU relaxed its rules in 2004 may now have gone home.
That would mean as many as 350,000 have returned over the past two years. Any exodus has yet to show up in surveys published by the Government's Office for National Statistics, which has been stepping up efforts to record accurate levels of immigration. ONS estimates have continued to show the population is increasing because of immigration

UK ID Cards Plan In Crisis As The 'Guinea Pigs' Revolt
Plans to build support for identity cards by introducing them among 'guinea pig' groups, such as airport staff and students, are in crisis after 10,000 airline pilots vowed to take legal action to block them and opposition swept through Britain's universities and councils.
In a move that could wreck the government's strategy for a phased introduction beginning next year, the British Airline Pilots Association (Balpa) said it would seek a judicial review rather than see its members forced to adopt ID cards at a time when pilots are already exhaustively vetted.
Balpa's vehement opposition is a hammer blow for the Home Secretary, Jacqui Smith, who had hoped to win the wider public over to ID cards by demonstrating that they were crucial to anti-terrorism policies. She intends to introduce them among groups 'who operate in positions of trust in our society'.

Bodies Of The Dead Not Being Buried As Effects Of Credit Crunch Spread Across Britain
The spectre of the Winter of Discontent threatened to return to haunt Labour last night after funeral directors revealed that the burial of 'hundreds' of bodies is being delayed for financial reasons.
Undertakers hit by the credit crunch are refusing to carry out funerals until the Department for Work and Pensions has confirmed it will foot the bill.
In a bleak new sign of the growing economic crisis, hard-up families are having to wait more than two months before receiving Government money for funerals.

Pentagon Wants $450 Billion Increase Over Next Five Years
Pentagon officials have prepared a new estimate for defense spending that is $450 billion more over the next five years than previously announced figures.
The new estimate, which the Pentagon plans to release shortly before President Bush leaves office, would serve as a marker for the new president and is meant to place pressure on him to either drastically increase the size of the defense budget or defend any reluctance to do so, according to several former senior budget officials who are close to the discussions.

Lehmans Missing $400 Billion Now An Anti Semitic Conspiracy Theory
A new anti-Semitic conspiracy theory has been spreading online over the last few days, claiming that on the eve of Lehman Brothers' collapse last month, the firm transferred $400 billion to Israel. The theory, which comes in the form of a news report, has already been distributed on dozens of anti-Semitic and anti-Israeli sites. It alleges that senior Jewish officials at the Lehman Brothers investment bank passed their clients' money on to three Israeli banks, with the intention of then escaping to Israel to enjoy the take without fear of extradition.

Barclays Faces Paris Money Laundering Trial
Societe Generale, the French unit of Barclays and two other banks are to face trial in Paris on charges that they abetted a money laundering operation between France and Israel, judicial officials said yesterday.
About 100 individuals, including the chief executive of Societe Generale, Daniel Bouton, and other senior bank executives have been charged in the case. No date for the trial was announced.
French financial police have been probing the alleged scheme - known as the Sentier II case for the garment district in Paris where many of the transactions originated - since 1997. The case is being watched as a test of banks' accountability for money-laundering offences committed by employees.
Societe Generale is accused of having laundered some 32 million euros, Barclays France close to 24 million euros, National Bank of Pakistan 2.5 million euros and Societe Marseillaise de Credit about 2.7 million euros, the court officials said.

Masri: Coexistence With Israeli Enemy Impossible After Brutal Attacks In Akka
Hamas lawmaker MP Mushir Al-Masri said on Saturday that the entire Palestinian people were sympathizing with their brethren in Akka city against the extremist Israeli groups, stressing that the "hour of victory was looming"."The moment of triumph was looming, and the day when Hamas's soldiers and the Qassam Brigades liberate Akka was getting closer", said Masri as he addressed thousands of Palestinian citizens participating in a pro-Akka rally organized by Hamas in Jabalya city, in the northern Gaza Strip.

Five-Star Green Hypocrisy
Move over Al Gore. Swankier carbon charlatanism has come to town in the form of the World Wildlife Fund’s luxury getaway called "Around the World: A Private Jet Expedition."
"Join us on a remarkable 25-day journey by luxury private jet," invites the WWF in a brochure for its voyage to "some of the most astonishing places on the planet to see top wildlife, including gorillas, orangutans, rhinos, lemurs and toucans."
For a price tag that starts at $64,950 per person, travelers will meet at the Ritz-Carlton in Orlando, Fla. on April 6, 2009 and then fly to “remote corners” of the world on a “specially outfitted jet that carries just 88 passengers in business-class comfort.” “World class experts — including WWF’s director of species conservation — will provide lectures en route, and a professional staff will be devoted to making your global adventure seamless and memorable.” Travelers will visit the Amazon Rain Forest in Brazil, Easter Island, Samoa, Borneo, Laos, Nepal, Madagascar, Namibia, Uganda or Rwanda, and finish up at the luxury Dorchester Hotel in London.
This is the very same WWF that says “the current growth in [carbon dioxide] emissions must be stopped as soon as possible” and that blames Americans for emitting 21 percent of global CO2 emissions even though the U.S. accounts for only 5 percent of the global population. In December 2007, the WWF launched its “Earth Hour” campaign, a global initiative in which cities and communities simultaneously turn out their lights for one hour “to symbolize their leadership and commitment to finding solutions for climate change.”
So how does this fantasy trip square with the WWF’s alarmist rhetoric?

The War On Terror ( Written A Couple Of Months After 9/11) by Billy Watson
So what is the deal with this war on Terrorism? It just doesn't make sense does it? There is something-dodgy going on in the world of politics, if you ask me. I mean one look at the American President George W Bush is enough to tell anybody that.It should be a lot harder to slag off the American President, he's supposed to be one of the brightest men in the world, never mind America, but it's lights on nobody home with that guy, isn't it. He makes Ronald Reagan look like fucking Einstein. And that's Ronald Reagan in his current condition I'm talking about.
It's G.W Bush's secretary I feel sorry for. Everyday she has to go through the same ritual. He turns up at the White House Office and starts pulling his office door."No George, it's push to open your office door""I am pushing""No George, you're pulling. That's 3 years you've been in office now George, I thought you'd have got the hang of it by now""Look, shut your face.....or I'll bomb you"Personally, I think he needs to go back to primary school to learn how to read his scripts properly. "Hello, my fellow Americans, you are the people greatest on the Earth of the Face"

Dan and Gemma Scott Saved Thousands Of Pounds On Their Wedding By Bartering
The couple managed to cut their cost of their wedding by more than £9,000 after they decided to barter for the church, the reception, the cars and the photographs.
Dan, 31, a plumber and part-time firefighter and his fiancee Gemma, also 31, a part time catering assistant, worked free of charge for local businesses in exchange for free or discounted use of their facilities on their big day.

This is going to happen more and more in coming months and is probably one of the best ways of trading!
Think about what you have to offer and what you want in return and you will be surprised how many people will be willing to barter with you

Councillors Claim Expenses For Walking
Elected members of at least two local authorities have introduced payments from the public purse for travelling on foot, as an alternative to the milage allowances they can claim for driving their own cars, The Sunday Telegraph can disclose.
Councillors at Braintree district council, in Essex, are entitled to claim £1 every time they travel on foot to official meetings or functions.
Their counterparts at Weymouth and Portland borough council, Dorset, can claim travel expenses at a uniform rate of 40p-a-mile regardless of whether they walk, cycle or drive their car.
The policy is designed to encourage councillors to set an example to the community by leaving their cars at home.
But it has not proved immediately popular with those entitled to recieve the money. In 2006/07, the first year the new system was operating in Braintree, councillors claimed a total of only £3 for walking, while the car mileage bill was £13,840.
Matthew Elliott, chief executive of the TaxPayers' Alliance, said: "It is absurd to pay travel expenses for walking. The whole point of expenses is that they cover any bills incurred, not to pay rewards for doing something the council think is nice. What next, a kindness-to-animals bonus?"

Cameron's 'Sinister' Mind Tests For The Cabinet In Waiting
David Cameron faces a revolt over secret plans to force Tory MPs to have psychometric testing to prove they are fit to be Ministers if he wins the next General Election.
Party chiefs have had talks with TV psychologist Kris Murrin on how to weed out those with psychological or other flaws.
Under a separate proposal, MPs’ secretaries – and even former secretaries – would be asked about their bosses’ private conduct, such as how they react under pressure

Five NATO Generals Prepare A World Government
In January 2008, five former NATO generals presented a preparatory document for the NATO summit meeting at Bucharest. Their proposals reflect a terrifying tendency. And what gives weight to their document is that, up until recently, all of them held very high positions. General John Shalikashvili was US Chief of Staff and Commander in Chief of NATO in Europe, General Klaus Naumann ran the German army and was president of the military committe of NATO in Europe, General Henk van den Breemen was chief of the Dutch Chief of Staff and Admiral Jacques Lanxade held the same post in France, while Lord Inge ran the General Staff and was also Chief of the Defence Staff of Great Britain. This is just the big shots - and very aggressive they are too, as we shall see.

The European Union - Criminalising Free Speech
As Statewatch pointed out in its analysis of the proposal, the wording of this definition is clearly likely to result in the criminalisation of the expression of political views (for example on the situation in Middle East or on certain conflicts within Member States), even if that expression does not in any way include the advocacy of terrorism to support those opinions.2 It will be enough that the authorities deem that there is a “danger” that this will happen, an actual terrorist offence as a consequence is expressly not necessary for the Framework Decision to apply.

EU Steps Up Pressure On Ireland To Hold Second Lisbon Treaty Referendum
Brian Cowen, Ireland's Prime Minister, must explain to a summit of Europe's leaders next Wednesday how he is planning to resuscitate the EU Treaty, which was rejected by Irish voters in June.
While the final decision will be taken in December, Mr Cowen will hear demands from France and Germany that a second referendum take place as early as March 2009, before European elections.
Brussels diplomats have warned Ireland that it is isolated after angering other EU countries, such as Britain, by taking controversial financial crisis measures that benefited Irish banks while "dumping on others".
"The economy might be going into freefall and the Irish really did not help things. Sympathy for their difficulties is running out," said a diplomat.

Bankruptcy, Theft & Fear
Why does the U.S. ruling elite en masse accept passively the Rothschild kleptastrophe? The answer is simple. Our ruling elite are no longer domestic factory owners, they no longer control productive capactiy in the US. There are no domestic capitalists left in the USA. They have exchanged ownership in real wealth for speculative international portfolios at the mercy of the Money Power. They sold out to the Rothshild-Rockefeller-Zhou credit monopoly and are fully invested in China ventures. They have tied their fortunes to the destruction of the United States economy and people. They go along because they have nowhere else to go, they have no feet of their own to stand on.

Impact on Human Rights of Private Military and Security Companies’ Activities
There has been a remarkable expansion, in the last 20 years, of private military and security companies providing services in zones of low-intensity armed conflict and post-conflict situations such as Afghanistan, the Balkans, Colombia, the Congo, Iraq, Somalia or Sudan. These transnational private companies can provide logistics, combat or combat related security training and intelligence as well as tactically military capability in the middle of a war zone. Three groups of countries may be involved in the activities carried out by transnational PMSC: exporting countries supplying private military and security services; importing countries demanding such services, and states of PMSC staff nationality, often from developing countries furnishing cheap labor to the transnational private military and security companies.

Spreading NAFTA's Love Across The Atlantic
Canada and the European Union (EU) are set to begin preliminary discussions on deeper economic integration a mere three days after the election. It has been reported that the proposed trade deal will far exceed NAFTA. Some see this as an opportunity to possibly update the 15 year-old accord. Stephen Harper is busy telling Canadians that only a Conservative majority government will be able to bring confidence back and stabilize the economy. That is why I find it a little strange that this has not become a pillar of the Conservatives economic platform. Harper has decided not to release the full text of the draft proposal until after the election on October 14. The reality is that such an agreement with the EU will be no different than NAFTA in the sense that it will be used to further advance corporate interests.

Taking Back Congress - What Americans Must Do Now
We have four weeks until the U.S. elections. Four weeks to spread the viral word through emails, fliers, any tools we’ve got, that now is the time for Americans to take back their Congress, to elect representatives who represent the will and best interest of the people.
Why don’t I say “time to take back the presidency”? Because that’s harder, with so many people believing still in Obama, and with the independent vote split between people planning to write in Ron Paul, Chuck Baldwin, Marcy Kaptur, Cynthia McKinnon and others. The presidency will be harder to return to the people in this next election, but Congress is a piece of cake if we do our cooking right.
Think about it. Americans are outraged that Congress betrayed the massively expressed will of the people. They bury their rage under the flimsy hope that maybe Congress knew better than they did the way out of the mess, that maybe we the people just don’t understand high finance well enough. But as the market continues to tumble and fear continues to rise, Americans are trusting less and less that Congress knows what it’s doing.
This is the time to send out the idea into the American consciousness that we must kick out every Senator and House Representative who voted for the bailout bill. If we can convince our fellows of that, and if we elect a new Congress that represents the people, we have real hope of turning around our situation.
