Terror on the Tube: Two Holes in Floor of Edgware Road Coach
New evidence is emerging from the Inquest, which knocks a big hole in the official narrative. The Aldwich bomb story showed evidence of a blast effect down the central axis of the coach, more spread-out than one would expect from a single rucksack.
There were at least two major holes blown in the floor, in the Edgware road coach – we here review four witness statements to show this. An earlier discussion of Professor John Tulloch’s testimony located the position of the main ‘crater’ as right next to him.'

Big Pharma Researchers Working on Drug to Erase Your Memories
Drug researchers are working on a mind-altering chemical that could erase your memories. It's all being pursued under the umbrella of "mental health" with claims that this could help victims of emotional trauma. The idea that you can "heal" a patient by chemically lobotomizing them is, of course, entirely consistent with the core mythology of modern medicine: If something's wrong, you should poison it, burn it, irradiate it or cut it out... and then pronounce the patient "healed!"
In the case of memory-erasing drugs, scientists are reportedly working on a drug that would remove certain proteins from the brain's "fear center." This is based on the ludicrous idea, by the way, that memories are recorded solely by physical proteins in the brain -- an idea that's obviously based on an entirely outmoded mechanistic model of the human mind and brain.'

Let the Babies Drink BPA - Chemical Lobby Gets Senate to Drop BPA Ban
For several years now, Environmental Working Group (EWG) has been warning of the risks associated with bisphenol A (BPA) - especially the BPA in baby bottles, sippy cups and cans of infant formula. EWG has also been a leader in trying to get state and federal agencies to regulate this hazardous chemical.
Thanks to the efforts of Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), there was briefly a deal this week - after months of negotiations - to include some regulation of BPA in a food safety bill that will probably pass the Senate soon after Thanksgiving. The deal, agreed to by leading Republicans and trade associations, including the Grocery Manufacturers Association, would have banned BPA in baby bottles and sippy cups in six months, directed FDA to finalize its assessment of the safety of BPA by December 2012 and protected the right of states to take even stronger action.
Then the American Chemistry Council (ACC) swooped in with last minute objections. The Council's lobbyists whispered in enough Republican senators' ears, and the agreement was scrapped. The chemical makers' trade group has spent millions of dollars over the last few years to fight regulation of BPA across the country.'

Taliban Leader in Secret Talks Was an Impostor
For months, the secret talks unfolding between Taliban and Afghan leaders to end the war appeared to be showing promise, if only because of the repeated appearance of a certain insurgent leader at one end of the table: Mullah Akhtar Muhammad Mansour, one of the most senior commanders in the Taliban movement.
But now, it turns out, Mr. Mansour was apparently not Mr. Mansour at all. In an episode that could have been lifted from a spy novel, United States and Afghan officials now say the Afghan man was an impostor, and high-level discussions conducted with the assistance of NATO appear to have achieved little.
"It’s not him," said a Western diplomat in Kabul intimately involved in the discussions. "And we gave him a lot of money".'

UNIFIL to Take Refuge in Israel if at War with Lebanon
The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) reportedly plans to evacuate its wounded troops to Israel if a war breaks out in the region.
The UN peacekeeping force set the plan ten days ago and is to implement it in a joint maneuver with the Israeli army, Naharnet cited a report the Lebanese paper al-Akhbar published on Monday.
The paper said that the Lebanese army contacted UNIFIL command to confirm the news of the maneuver. The military warned that the move would be a negative development and would demonstrate UNIFIL's siding with Israel.'

UK-Israeli Trade Up in Defiance of Public
The UK government has increased its bilateral trade with Israel despite concerns over war crimes committed by Tel Aviv authorities.
Those concerns prompted British trade unions to support an international initiative entitled “Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions campaign” against Israel.
Business and Enterprise Minister Mark Prisk said that bilateral trade with Israel topped £3.07 billion in 2009, surpassing the £3 billion target set in 2008. “In the first 8 months of 2010, bilateral trade grew by 44 percent”.'

Ireland Has Been Betrayed by its Leaders
It never seemed to matter in the boom years, but strictly speaking, there is no such thing as a Celtic Tiger. The image was coined in the mid-90s to compare Ireland with voraciously expanding economies in east Asia.
Now that boom has turned to bust, and Ireland is negotiating a European bailout, the mythical nature of the beast is poignant. There were no big cats in Dublin after all.
But there were fat cats. The Irish boom saw a vast property bubble puffed up by appallingly managed banks with the complicity of idle regulators and political cronies. House prices between 1994 and 2006 rose by around 520%. The relationships between developers, their financiers and the officials who authorised the building spree were usually cosy, often corrupt.
Towards the end of the growth years, the country's financial sector descended into full-blown mania. Banks doled out credit indiscriminately and borrowed on international capital markets on a scale that far exceeded the nation's economic output. When the bubble burst, the government stepped in to rescue the banks, but their debts were ultimately bigger than the state's capacity to raise revenue. Ireland started sliding towards insolvency. Hence, the bailout.'

And it is not only the Irish that are being betrayed by their leaders. George Osborne announced that even though we weren't obliged to help in the bailout of the Irish Banks that he would give them £7 Billion of British taxpayers money as they were good friends to Britain.!!!!!
Support the Run on the Banks on the 7th December 2010. Just go down to your local bank and take out your money before the bastards give it to someone else!!!
UK Toddlers Will Have Vaccinations for SIX Diseases at Once
Toddlers are to be inoculated against six diseases at once in a bid to boost vaccination rates, the Government revealed yesterday.
The chief medical officer has told GPs to give the vaccines – including the MMR jab – during a single surgery visit once a baby has passed his or her first birthday.
The ‘super-vaccination’ day will involve three injections to protect against measles, mumps, rubella, two forms of meningitis and bacteria that can cause pneumonia.'

CPS: Child Protectors or Pimps?
"The Adoption and the Safe Families Act, set in motion by President Bill Clinton, offers cash "bonuses" to the states for every child they adopted out [to] foster care. In order to receive the "adoption incentive bonuses" local child protective services need more children. They must have merchandise (children) that sell and you must have plenty of them so the buyer can choose. Some counties are known to give a $4,000 [payment for] each child not returned to their family".
That's incentive to CPS workers to extract children and block all family members who might qualify for guardianship. The Clinton act also pays bonuses if the child has traits that are in greater demand - such as blond hair and blue eyes. That's a fact. To get this money the CPS worker has to 'close the sale' with an adoption to an unrelated 3rd party. It doesn't matter who that party is, as long as they're not related to the child.
Well qualified grandparents are routinely denied custody because the Fed doesn't pay CPS for that.
On top of this, the Civil Rights Act, 42 USC 1983, (also referred to as "section 1983") give judges "sovereign judicial" IMMUNITY from redress or prosecution for consequences of their decisions. During the 90's, lawyers were given immunity, and social workers are immune from prosecution for PERJURY. In a nutshell the State has been unaccountable to the people of America since 1983, and most don't even know that.'

Forced Adoption: Another Win for the Child Snatchers
In 43 years of medical practice, said the family’s GP, he had “never encountered a case of such appalling injustice”. To their neighbours, it was so shocking that up to 100 of them were ready to stage a public protest, until being banned from doing so by social workers and the police.
This was the case of Tony and Debbie Sims, which I first reported in July 2009 under the headline “ 'Evil destruction’ of a happy family”, and whom I can now name because their daughter, torn from them for no good reason, has finally, after three years of misery in foster care and 74 court hearings, been adopted.
The story of Mr and Mrs Sims was my first introduction to that Kafka-esque world of state child-snatching which I have so often reported on since. It illustrates so many of the reasons why, hidden behind its self-protective wall of secrecy, this ruthless and corrupt system has become a major national scandal.'

Netenyahu: The Biggest Little Whore in the Middle East
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s conduct in respect to the settlement construction freeze reminded to many Israelis a famous George Bernard Shaw quote: “We have established what you are, madam. We are now merely haggling over the price.”
Earlier this week, when the Israeli price was set at $3 billion (the cost of 20 F-35 fighter jets to be supplied to the Air Force,) it turned out that while Netanyahu may not be a great success story as a prime minister, he is phenomenal as a brothel manager.'

Eric Cantona's Call for Bank Protest Sparks Online Campaign
As students and public sector workers across Europe prepare for a winter of protests, they have been offered advice from the archetypal football rebel Eric Cantona.
Cantona was once a famous exponent of direct action against adversaries on and off the pitch. In 1995 he was given a nine-month ban after launching a karate kick at a Crystal Palace fan who shouted racist abuse at the former Manchester United star after he was sent off. But while sympathising with the predicament of the protesters in France, the now retired Cantona is urging a more sophisticated approach to dissent.
The 44-year-old former footballer recommended a run on the cash reserves of the world's banks during a newspaper interview that was also filmed. The interview has become a YouTube hit and has spawned a new political movement.'

US Firms Pressure Ireland to Tax the People, Not Corporations
The warning – from executives at Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard (HP), Bank of America Merrill Lynch and Intel – spoke of the "damaging impact" on Ireland's "ability to win and retain investment" should the country's corporation tax rate be increased from 12.5pc.
It came as talks between members of the Irish government and the European Union and the International Monetary Fund continued around the clock on a financial aid package of as much as €100bn to shore up the country's beleaguered banking system.
Although Brian Lenihan, the Irish finance minister, has indicated Ireland's 12.5pc corporation tax rate – the lowest in the eurozone – will not be raised, a number of factions within the European Union are known to have pushed for it to be increased in return for the bail-out.'

Millions to Lose Unemployment Benefits
Millions of jobless Americans are expected to lose their unemployment benefits, as lawmakers in the House of Representatives have failed to extend the program.
In eleven days, 800,000 people will lose all their benefits and by the end of the year, 2 million people will join their ranks, a Press TV correspondent reported on Saturday.
House Democrats and Republicans blame each other. Party leaders in Congress disagreed over how the $12.5 billion measure would be funded.'

Cadmium, Lead Found in Drinking Glasses
Drinking glasses depicting comic book and movie characters such as Superman, Wonder Woman and the Tin Man from "The Wizard of Oz" exceed federal limits for lead in children's products by up to 1,000 times, according to laboratory testing commissioned by The Associated Press.
The decorative enamel on the superhero and Oz sets -- made in China and purchased at a Warner Brothers Studios store in Burbank -- contained between 16 percent and 30.2 percent lead. The federal limit on children's products is 0.03 percent.
The same glasses also contained relatively high levels of the even-more-dangerous cadmium, though there are no federal limits on that toxic metal in design surfaces.'

Big Brother and the Coming Internet TSA
Strange bedfellows? Not at all. These MegaCorps are big New World Order tools and advocates, and what better way to merge the strangleholds via tech and propaganda. It seems the elite insiders see they're losing in the mainstain media arena so are moving to dominate the Internet medium in this "game changer" Murdoch calls it. MegaCorps Apple and NewsCorp creating this ipad newspaper can't spell anything good for real news, just more control, propaganda and intrusion.
As "cool" as some of the Apple stuff is, Jobs and his 33rd degree mason partner Wozniak didn't get to the top being "alternative", and their reported willingness to put the RFID chip in their next generation of phones does not exactly spell 'freedom'. They've successfully captured an enormous, and young following, so this alignment with the Zionist vulture Murdoch, the "fox" who hides behind this 'conservative' mask, is nothing less than ominous.'

TSA Now Needs False Flag Security Incident to Convince Americans to Accept Obscene Pat-Downs
With the grassroots backlash over the TSA's obscene pat-downs growing by the day, it's becoming fairly obvious that the only way the U.S. government is going to get the public to accept these Fourth Amendment violations is if there is another "terrorist incident" that's stopped by the TSA and its naked body scanners.
So far, the TSA is molesting children, teens and grannies without being able to demonstrate that this gross violation of Americans' Fourth Amendment rights is having any effect whatsoever on improving air travel safety. But if there's anything to be learned from 9/11, it's that the sheeple are always willing to give up their rights if they can be scared into doing so.'

Crisis of Fiat Currencies: US Dollar Surpluses Converted into Gold
Something is going on that your government does not want you to know about. Very few journalists have written about it and little or nothing has appeared in the mainstream media. The story could be one of major stories of our time.
Western powers have tried to destroy gold as a backing for currencies for many years. Presently the major media won’t touch the story and that is understandable.
Something we have been writing about for years is the Shanghai Cooperation Organization known as SCO. Few have been listening and few have been interested in what their mission is and what they have been up to.
Some of the members are large oil producers and some, like China, are large oil users. Some have very large US dollar surpluses. As well, some are large commodity and gold and silver buyers. In fact, members are in a great part responsible for driving these prices higher. It is debatable, but we believe there is a conscious effort to accumulate gold and silver, dump dollars and to back their currencies with gold.'

Ex-AIPAC Official Threatens to Uncover Mass Spying at Israeli Lobby
A former foreign policy chief for the largest Israeli lobby in the US is threatening to provide evidence members of the organization regularly trafficked in classified US government information.
The claim comes in the midst of an increasingly ugly lawsuit in which parties have alleged or admitted to mass viewing of pornography among senior staffers at AIPAC as well as extra-marital affairs.
Steve Rosen, who was in charge of foreign policy issues at AIPAC until 2005, is suing his former employer for $20 million, alleging that AIPAC defamed him when they fired him. Rosen and colleague Keith Weissman were charged in 2004 with espionage for allegedly pressuring a Washington Post reporter into running classified US government information they had obtained about Iran. The charges were dropped last year, evidently due to lack of evidence.'

Haiti Cholera Could Overrun Caribbean
The Haitian Health Ministry said on Sunday that of a total 52,715 recorded cases, 20,687 had been treated in hospitals, DPA reported.
The UN says the cholera outbreak, first seen on October 19 in the lower Artibonite region, north of the capital, Port-au-Prince, is threatening hundreds of thousands more in the country.
The disease continues to claim lives in Haiti ten months after an earthquake killed 230,000 people on the island.
The United Nations says over one million quake survivors are most at risk as they still live in dirty, overcrowded camps that lack sanitation facilities.
The World Health Organization has also warned that the deadly illness will inevitably spread to other countries in the Caribbean.'

Tel Aviv Wants US to Release Israeli Spy
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has asked the US to release the agent, Jonathan Pollard, in exchange for a temporary halt in Tel Aviv's construction of the Jewish settlements, Israeli newspaper The Jerusalem Post wrote on Sunday.
Tel Aviv refused to renew a partial 10-month moratorium on its September 26 expiration date, breaking off Washington-backed direct talks with the Palestinian Authority (PA).
A September piece, ran by the prominent British daily The Guardian, quoted Israel's Army Radio as saying that Netanyahu was ready to extend the partial freeze for three months in return for the release.'

US to Spend $413 Billion More on Afghan War
A decision by US President Barack Obama to extend the presence of American troops in Afghanistan beyond 2014 is likely to increase the remaining cost of the unpopular war to USD 413 billion.
The US president, who was expected to announce an exit strategy from Afghanistan at the recent NATO summit in Lisbon, pushed for an indefinite postponement of troop withdrawal instead.
Obama declared in a nationally televised address in December that the transfer of the US forces out of Afghanistan would begin in July 2011. He, however, later redefined the previous timeline stating that Afghan forces would only begin taking the lead for security across Afghanistan by 2014.
On Saturday, NATO Secretary General said the US-led military alliance will remain in Afghanistan for as long as it takes to finish off its enemies there.'

Liberal Democrat Business Secretary Vince Cable: Election Promises Not Binding
Liberal Democrat Business Secretary Vince Cable has claimed his party broke no pledge by approving tuition fee rises as the election promises were not binding.
Cable insisted that Lib Dems remain trustworthy even after reneging on one of the key elements of their election manifesto to prevent any tuition hikes by supporting the move to almost triple fees from £3,290 to £9,000 a year.
He tried to justify the reversal of policy saying signing the pledge has been a wrong “political judgment.”
Cable told the BBC One's Politics Show that Lib Dems “haven't betrayed anybody” as the only binding agreement they had was the coalition deal with the Tories.'

Councils Lobby Government to Raise Parking Fines
Some councils in England and Wales have been lobbying the government for the right to increase the amount they can charge motorists in parking fines, the BBC has learned.
The local authorities want to bring their fines in line with London, which has a higher upper limit of £120.
Penalties outside the capital currently have an upper limit of £70.
The British Parking Association is also calling for an increase, saying current levels are not enough of a deterrent.'

March of the Euro Police: The Shocking Powers of Prosecution the EU has Over All of Us
The full extent of the police and criminal prosecution powers that the European Union has over British citizens can be revealed today.
A Mail on Sunday investigation has uncovered an alarming array of new EU controls over justice and home affairs for which no one has voted, and most are unknown to the public.
These include:
Europol, the £60 million-a-year European criminal intelligence agency, whose officers have diplomatic immunity.
An 800-strong paramilitary police force called the European Gendarmerie Force.
The European Arrest Warrant, which now allows British citizens to be seized in the UK and sent without appeal to foreign jails for months or years without bail while awaiting trial.'

The Pope Lifts the Catholic Church's Ban on Condoms to Fight Aids
After decades of fierce opposition to the use of all contraception, the Pontiff has ended the Church’s absolute ban on the use of condoms.
He said it was acceptable to use a prophylactic when the sole intention was to “reduce the risk of infection” from Aids.
While he restated the Catholic Church’s staunch objections to contraception because it believes that it interferes with the creation of life, he argued that using a condom to preserve life and avoid death could be a responsible act – even outside marriage.'

Food Biotech Companies, EU Regulators In Bed Together
There is close collaboration between experts on the GMO Panel of the European Food Safety Authority, EFSA, and the biotech industry. The chair of the GMO expert panel which is dealing with risk assessment of genetically engineered plants, Harry Kuiper, and a second expert from the same panel, Gijs Kleter, have for years been working with the International Life Science Institute (ILSI). They cooperate with representatives of companies such as Monsanto, Dupont, Dow AgroSciences, Syngenta and Bayer, within projects that aim to soften criteria for risk assessment for genetically engineered plants.
Several complaints about collaboration between EFSA and corporations have been made public in the last few months. At the end of September it was made public that Diána Bánáti, a member of the management board at EFSA, was also active in ILSI. After public discussion, Banati resigned from her tasks at ILSI. In another case, the head of the secretary of the GMO panel, Suzy Renckens, moved directly to the Syngenta company after leaving EFSA, without the authority imposing any restrictions. New accusations were made about the conflict of interest in the assessment of toxic chemicals, a matter in which ILSI also plays a decisive role.'

$11,000 Fine, Arrest Possible for Some who Refuse Airport Scans and Pat Downs
If you don't want to pass through an airport scanner that allows security agents to see an image of your naked body or to undergo the alternative, a thorough manual search, you may have to find another way to travel this holiday season.
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is warning that any would-be commercial airline passenger who enters an airport checkpoint and then refuses to undergo the method of inspection designated by TSA will not be allowed to fly and also will not be permitted to simply leave the airport.
That person will have to remain on the premises to be questioned by the TSA and possibly by local law enforcement. Anyone refusing faces fines up to $11,000 and possible arrest.
"Once a person submits to the screening process, they can not just decide to leave that process," says Sari Koshetz, regional TSA spokesperson, based in Miami.'

Buying a Car a Little Harder Now: Terror Check Required For Financing
If you're in the market for a car, be prepared to prove you are not a terrorist.
The federal government's Red Flags Rule mandates that auto dealers, banks, credit unions and other "creditors" and "financial institutions" take additional steps to prevent identity theft and fraud, beginning Jan. 1. Included in the list of so-called creditors is your family doctor.
Among those steps is determining whether a person applying for financing - or even paying cash for a car - appears on any government watch lists of known or suspected terrorists or terrorist organizations.'

MI5′s False Flag IRA Operations
The influence of spooks on Irish politics in 2010 went largely unnoticed as public attention concentrated on significant financial developments. But as the year ended, what may prove to be historic events were happening behind the scenes, with competing British spy groups clashing head-on in a battle for government funding and influence in Downing Street through control of events in Ireland.
The arrival in early November in Derry of Lord Carlile, independent advisor to the British Government on the activities of the Security Service (MI5), to investigate SDLP claims that MI5 were involved in the shooting dead in February of leading Real IRA member Kieran Doherty outside the city could be the catalyst which exposes what has been happening on both sides of the Border, where MI5 has been running what is known in the spook business as “false flag” operations.'

Medical Mistakes in US Kill 15,000 Patients Every Month
Your local hospital just might be more of a death trap than an actual health care facility. A new report issued by the Office of Inspector General at the Health and Human Services Department (HHS) says that every month roughly 134,000 hospital patients experience some type of adverse event during their stays. And about 15,000 of them die every month due to various medical and surgical errors.
According to the report, such adverse events include surgery mistakes, medication dosage errors, improper care protocols, and transmission of infection due to filthy conditions. In fact, patients are often admitted to hospitals in healthier condition than when they leave (if they even do), and much of the time their health declines are a result of avoidable medical errors.'

Guantánamo Detainee, Acquitted on 284 of 285 Charges, Faces 20 Years in Prison
In a blow to the Obama administration’s effort to manipulate the civilian justice system to achieve guilty verdicts for alleged terrorists, a New York City jury on Wednesday unexpectedly acquitted a Guantánamo detainee, Ahmed Khaifan Ghailani, on 284 of 285 charges. The case was related to the 1998 terrorist attacks on US Embassy in Dar es Salam, Tanzania, which killed at least 11 people and injured another 85.
Ghailani, 36, was convicted of only one charge, conspiring to destroy government buildings. The 12-member jury was unconvinced by government charges related to allegations of murder. Ghailani nonetheless faces a sentence of 20 years to life in prison.'
