Indigenous Activists Fight Building of Massive Pipelines from Tar Sands through US

This is our last fight. For us, for the four-legged ones, for the flyers and the swimmers.” Those are the words of Helen Clifton, a passionate Gitga’at elder from Hartley Bay, a village situated in the Great Bear Rainforest -- the largest intact temperate rainforest left on the planet. Clifton’s town is about 40 miles south of the port city of Kitimat, where the Canadian energy company Enbridge is planning to build a marine terminal for its controversial Northern Gateway oil pipeline project.

Sponge Bob: The Masonic Episode

The only thing Squidward wants in the world is to be back in the Cephalopod Lodge, a secret society for fish with tentacles. This is not the first time a Sponge Bob cartoon refers to Freemasonry. This also reminds me a lot to this Tom and Jerry Episode.

Some might say “yeah, but they’re just poking fun at Freemasonry, what’s wrong with that?” Nothing is “wrong with that”. However, Sponge Bob is aimed at children under 10.

Animals Have Emotional Lives, Too

Scientific research shows that many animals are very intelligent and have sensory and motor abilities that dwarf ours. Dogs are able to detect diseases such as cancer and diabetes and warn humans of impending heart attacks and strokes. Elephants, whales, hippopotamuses, giraffes, and alligators use low-frequency sounds to communicate over long distances, often miles; and bats, dolphins, whales, frogs, and various rodents use high-frequency sounds to find food, communicate with others, and navigate.

'Goldstone Aims to End Israel Isolation'

A Palestinian resistance group says the retraction of the head of a UN fact-finding mission from his report on Israeli war crimes in Gaza is aimed at getting Tel Aviv out of international isolation. On Monday, the Islamic Jihad movement expressed disappointment over the withdrawal of South African judge Richard Goldstone from the findings in his report, Palestinian Ma'an news agency reported.

The fact-finding mission, headed by Goldstone, accused Israel of committing war crimes and crimes against humanity during its onslaught on Gaza at the turn of 2009.

The mission found evidence that Israel committed “grave breaches of the Fourth Geneva Convention in respect of willful killings and willfully causing great suffering to protected persons.”

But in an article published in Washington Post newspaper on Saturday, Goldstone said that he was wrong to say Israel had deliberately targeted civilians during Gaza war that left more than 1,400 Palestinians dead.

Is Prince's Wedding Ring Refusal a Satanic Sign?

Satanists observe Christian rituals for one reason only, to tear them down. Everything a future king does is symbolic and an example to his people.

Prince William will not wear a wedding ring to symbolize his marriage to Kate Middleton April 29. Explaining William's decision, a royal source told the Daily Mail, 'It is quite common for men in that strata of society not to wear a traditional wedding band.'

A wedding ring symbolizes marriage, an institution that the Illuminati --"that strata of society" -- wish to destroy, along with the family.

In breaking the rules of a Christian marriage ceremony and in light of the Satanism practiced by the Illuminati, we ask; Is William signaling his Satanism?

Human trafficking: It Ain’t Just for Sex Anymore

When we think of human trafficking most of us immediately assume that this occurs only in the arena of sexual exploitation. At some point in time this may have been true. Today, human trafficking encompasses many forms and there is not one of us who can safely assume that we would somehow be exempt from any type of human trafficking.

While the sexual exploitation and trafficking for the purposes of sex is often highlighted in MSM, rarely do they ever report on the trafficking that occurs courtesy of our courts, unscrupulous politicians and yes, even those demi-gods….doctors, therapists and psychiatrists. There is money to be made exploiting the vulnerable, the sick, the weak, the aging (with assets) and even children who have been unfortunate enough to become wards of the state and forced into foster care.

Is Nobel Peace Prize Winner Obama More Brutal than Bush?

Bush is correctly regarded as a lying, war-mongering, torturing tyrant. Is Nobel peace prize winner Obama even worse?

Many governments, U.S. congressmen and other individuals have demanded that Obama return his Nobel peace prize for bombing Libya without congressional approval.

Bush got us into 2 wars to protect our strategic national interests in ... er ... broccoli. Obama just got us into a third war for the same reason. Bush's decision to invade Iraq was met with large protests. Similarly, most Americans didn't want Obama to get involved in Libya.

The Bush administration funded terrorist groups (and see confirming articles here and here). Obama is allegedly funding terrorist groups in Iran, and is now aiding the Libyan "rebels", even though there are allegations that 1,000 of them are Al Qaeda radicals (and there are some indications that their leader is a CIA asset).

Greedy Corporations and the Wealthy Fatten Themselves on the Rest of Us -- Join "We Are One" Rallies to Stop the Freeloaders

The nation’s greedy corporations and insatiable wealthy are fattening themselves on workers. There’s no trickle down. It’s the opposite; the rich have been sucking the economic lifeblood from the middle class for decades.

When reckless Wall Street banksters get taxpayer-funded bailouts, billionaires get tax breaks and gigantic corporations like GE and Bank of America pay absolutely no federal income taxes, they’re getting for free the very public services that enable them to make massive profits in this country – the courts, the roads, the trade regulators, the patent enforcement.

Human milk contains high quantities of key nutrients that can help to boost the immune system of babies and reduce the risk of infections.

The scientists behind the research believe milk from herds of genetically modified cows could provide an alternative to human breast milk and formula milk for babies, which is often criticised as being an inferior substitute.'

'This Is Not America': SWAT Team Evicts Grandmother, Community Fights Back

Japan's Apocalypse

Despite a disaster multiples worse than Chernobyl, major media reports all along downplayed it. Now they largely ignore it, moving on to more important things like celebrity features and baseball's opening day, besides pretending American-led Libya bombing is well-intended when, in fact, it's another brazen power grab - an imperial war of conquest, explained in numerous previous articles.

The horror of all wars aside, waged solely for wealth and power, never humanity, Japan deserves regular top billing, given its global implications and potential millions of lives affected. Ignoring it is scandalous, yet it's practically disappeared from television where most people get news, unaware only managed reports are aired omitting vital truths.

Over three weeks and counting, Japan's crisis keeps worsens. Radiation levels in Fukushima's underground tunnel water reached 10,000 times above normal and rising. In nearby seawater, they're 4,385 times too high. Heavy rainfall exacerbates the problem. Food, water, air and soil contamination is spreading.'

Netanyahu Tells UN Chief Upcoming Gaza Flotilla Must Be Stopped

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called on UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon Friday to stop the impending flotilla that is supposed to set sail to the Gaza Strip in May.

The Israeli prime minister told the UN Chief that the flotilla is being organized by extreme Islamists that are interested only in provocation. He added that the ship's key goal is to fuel tensions, particularly in light of the fact that the Gaza Strip is open to all types of goods brought in via land.

"Hamas is a terrorist organization and Iranian proxy," Netanyahu said, adding that "it was just recently revealed that part of Iran's efforts is to arm [Hamas] and smuggle weapons into the strip".'

In a response to a lawsuit filed by the Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund (FTCLDF), the FDA has articulated its belief that there is no such thing as a right to health or to purchase or consume any given food.

The FTCLDF has sued the FDA for banning the interstate shipment or sale of raw milk products, alleging that the policy deprives consumers and a food buying group owner "of their fundamental and inalienable rights of (a) traveling across State lines with raw dairy products legally obtained and possessed; (b) providing for the care and well being of themselves and their families, including their children; and (c) producing, obtaining and consuming the foods of choice for themselves and their families, including their children."'

Radiation Support for Your Immune System: We are Under Invisible Siege

I have had countless calls asking for more suggestions on how we can support our already compromised immune systems, as we are exposed daily to untold levels of radioactive elements that are now traveling world-wide. Due to our already highly polluted air, we now have a multi-pronged attack on our immune systems. We were never meant to be sponges for an assortment of highly hazardous and unregulated chemicals and nano-technology, genetically modified organisms, aerosolized Chemtrails, pesticides, and artificial and poisonous additives in our food supply.

This has been going on for most of the twentieth century; and now laws, in place for decades to protect us, have been gutted. Secret political agendas and corporate profits continue to take priority over our well-being and safety. This has a long history in our corporate consumer-oriented society. For the first time in our recorded history, we have multiple and chronic illnesses caused by human intervention. Greed trumps everything else, when the world (gone amok) is filled with moral indifference and decrepitude, along with enormous governmental corruption.'

Eternal Punishment: Obama Leads Third Century of Imperial Revenge on Haiti

The blood and thunder (or is it thud and blunder?) of the American-led intervention in Libya has obscured one of the more revealing episodes of our times -- especially for those many millions who still cling to the idea that Barack Obama is somehow an improvement, however slight, over the ruthless, lawless, corroded souls who preceded him in the post of imperial manager.

We speak of course of the American rigging of the election in battered, helpless Haiti -- a brazen effort to disenfranchise the majority of the population and ensure the election of a vicious -- but acquiescent -- client to the presidency. This sordid episode comes complete with a personal intervention by the Nobel Peace Laureate himself to try to continue the exile and persecution of the democratically elected Haitian president overthrown by George W. Bush in a brutal coup.'

Major London Retailer for Ahava Dead Sea Salts Forced to Close; Boycott Campaign Claims Credit

After a 2-year long campaign that involved bi-weekly protests, consumer education and petitions challenging the Ahava company’s illegal theft of Palestinian land and resources, British activists are now claiming credit for the decision by Ahava’s flagship store in London to shut its doors.

The Dead Sea Salts and other cosmetics sold by the Ahava company are produced in the illegal Israeli settlement of Mitzpe Shalem, and the Israeli control of the Dead Sea and its resources are in violation of a decades-old 'Dead Sea Agreement’ between Israel and the Palestinian Authority.'

Facebook Sued for $1 Billion Over Intifada Page

Facebook and co-founder Mark Zuckerberg have been hit with a lawsuit seeking more than $1 billion in damages over a page on the social network which called for a "Third Intifada" against Israel.

Facebook this week shut down the "Third Intifada" page, which had almost 500,000 fans, but the lawsuit filed in a court here claims that the social network showed "negligence" by not quickly responding to appeals to remove the page.

Besides awarding damages, the complaint calls on the court to bar Facebook "from allowing the Facebook page titled 'Third Palestinian Intifada,' and other related and similar sites, which advocate violence and death to Jews."

The suit, a copy of which was obtained by technology blog TechCrunch, was filed in DC Superior Court by Larry Klayman, who describes himself in the complaint as "an American citizen of Jewish origin" who is "active in matters concerning the security of Israel and all people".'

'Saudi Arabia Seeks to Annex Kuwait'

Saudi Arabia would like to keep Kuwait or annex the territory; if not the territory then at least through hegemony of its policy and what is happening now is we see an increase in Saudi hegemony in the [Persian] Gulf, in Bahrain, and in Kuwait where there are Saudi arms and influence in Kuwaiti parliament - members pushing for Kuwait to be annexed and to form part of Saudi Arabia under the guise of a [Persian] Gulf unity whereby Saudi Arabia would be the leader.

A number of members of parliament in Kuwait are Saudi agents basically and the Kuwait leadership has fear of this. In fact, last year one of my sources said that the foreign minister of Kuwait said in a private setting that the Saudi threat is the greatest threat against Kuwait. They want to annex us, they tried to invade us and Saudi Arabia holds part of Kuwait in the hands of Saudi forces basically occupying part of Kuwait.'

Britain Seeking a Deal with Kusa

Despite claims by the British government, that Libyan defector Musa Kusa will not be immune from court trials reports say he will be even rewarded for escaping to Britain.

After what the British media called a “cloak and dagger operation run by MI6” to help Kusa flee to Britain, Prime Minister David Cameron insisted that London has promised no immunity from prosecution either from British justice or the International Criminal Court to the former Libyan Foreign Minister.

“Let me be clear, Musa Kusa is not being granted immunity, there is no deal of that kind,” Cameron claimed. But his remarks appeared as a double game following the reports that London is planning to prize Kusa rather than punish him for the alleged crimes he has committed.
