Possible desired effects and reasons behind latest Detroit bombing attempt 12-25-09 inside operation | 911Blogger.com

Possible desired effects and reasons behind Detroit bombing 12-25-09 inside operation: To introduce new, additional police state security measures and install new equipment to further harass air travelers.

Further:

1. to remind people, to keep population in apprehension, or outright fear, of terror.

2. to get to Pres Obama, to express irritation with his policies, to be able to say - he is not "protecting Americans well enough"

3. some agencies inside political infighting. A palpable friction lately came out between Cia/Dir Panetta and National Intel Council/ Dir Blair

3. simple pretext for further conflict, as Sen Lieberman already called for preemptive strikes on Yemen

4. implied message that the next time, bomb might actually work

5. all of the above

I do think that managers in CIA, FBI, DHS, TSA responsible for this inside operation - letting known radical banned in Britain board a plane with a defective bomb - should be reassigned immediately. Any such consequences never happened after 9/11, as far as I know.

125 Pilot Whales Die On New Zealand Beaches

Propaganda! Not really - it is a public knowledge that whale, dolphins beaching is caused by underwater huge blasts by US military submarines sonars - underwater radars. These massively loud underwater sounds shatter animals' inner ears, part of brains, cause bleeding, and animals are unable to navigate, even if they are pushed out to see. They die from their injuries. It is true that US military is tying to address the situation and prevent this painful killing of animals. It really is similar to standing a couple steps of distance from huge, deafening roar of rocket or a big jet. http://WorldNewsRecord.wordpress.com

Medical tourism: '5-star' care at a 90% discount

US Medical tourism: '5-star' care at a discount. US medical cartel monopolies are forcing lower middle class Americans to travel abroad to get medical treatment.

Imagine cartels would allow Indian, Mexican, Russian, Chinese, Korean good doctors, dentists, to compete, to practice in US, for up to 90% discount. That would be a free market, not medical corporate cartel communism...

if you're in that awkward middle, where you have a little money saved, current private medical insurance cartels scheme will take it all ........ Once a cottage industry, medical tourism may be on the cusp of a big expansion as governments from India to Singapore are investing in state-of-the-art hospitals, vying for a global market.

Deloitte Consulting estimated that 560,000 U.S. residents went abroad for care in 08. The firm thinks that number will rise to 1.6 million by 2012, with patients getting discounts of up to 90 % on procedures from liver transplants to hip resurfacing.

7/7/5 London Bombings an inside job

"Even more suspicious is the revelation, made on the day of the events by Peter Power, a former Scotland Yard anti-terror expert, that they were conducting security drills on 7/7 that simulated the exact type of attack in the exact stations at the exact time of the actual events. “…At half-past nine this morning we were actually running an exercise…based on simultaneous bombs going off precisely at the railway stations where it happened this morning”.

This is again reminiscent of the 9/11 events in the US where 15 or more drills and military exercises, some simulating hijackings, some even simulating planes crashing into buildings, were being conducted at the same time as the actual 9/11 attacks.

Another weakness of the official story is that the devastating explosions are claimed to have come from crude home-made explosives the bombers are supposed to have made in their bath tub, no less. Initial assessments of experts at the scene of the explosions were that high grade military explosives were used. Only later was the story changed to have the bombers cooking up their own home-made bombs"

California blaze grows to 140,000-plus acres.

A fierce fight was waged Tuesday to save a key communications complex and historic observatory atop Mount Wilson. The collection of towers is vital for government communications and nearly 50 radio and TV stations.

Fire retardant dropped from the air and firefighters clearing brush helped protect Mount Wilson, at least temporarily.

It is unclear what caused the Station fire, which charred an area that had not seen a major fire in more than 60 years.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger declared a state of emergency Friday as a result of the Station Fire. He also proclaimed a state of emergency on Tuesday in San Bernardino County, east of Los Angeles, where the Oak Glen Fire had scorched more than 1,000 acres. That fire was about 60 percent contained, fire officials said Tuesday.

The Pendleton Fire, also in San Bernardino, had burned nearly 900 acres by late Tuesday and was threatening 400 residences, according to fire officials. The blaze was 60 percent contained.

Schwarzenegger had declared states of emergency in Placer, Monterey and Mariposa counties because of fires.

The American government -- which we once called our government -- has been taken over by Wall Street, the mega-corporations and the super-rich.

They are the ones who decide our fate.

It is this group of powerful elites, the people President Franklin D. Roosevelt called "economic royalists," who choose our elected officials -- indeed, our very form of government.

Both Democrats and Republicans dance to the tune of their corporate masters.

In America, corporations do not control the government. In America, corporations are the government

This was never more obvious than with the Wall Street bailout, whereby the very corporations that caused the collapse of our economy were rewarded with taxpayer dollars.

So arrogant, so smug were they that, without a moment's hesitation, they took our money -- yours and mine -- to pay their executives multimillion-dollar bonuses, something they continue doing to this very day.

They have no shame.

They don't care what you and I think about them.

Larry Flynt: Common Sense 2009

ALL Fish In Every 291 Tested US Stream Have Mercury In Them. Widespread mercury pollution. The main source is emissions from coal-fired power plants

From 1998 to 2005, scientists collected and tested more than a thousand fish from 291 streams nationwide. While all fish had traces of mercury contamination, only about a quarter had levels exceeding what the Environmental Protection Agency says is safe for people eating average amounts of fish.

Mercury can damage the nervous system and cause learning disabilities in developing fetuses and young children.

The main source of mercury to most of the streams tested, according to the researchers, is emissions from coal-fired power plants.

The mercury released from smokestacks rains down into waterways, where natural processes convert it into methylmercury -- a form that allows the toxin to wind its way up the food chain into fish.

At about 59 of the streams, mostly in the West, mining could be contributing to the mercury levels, the researchers said.

Earlier this year, the Obama administration said it would begin crafting a new regulations to control mercury emissions from power plants after a federal appeals court threw out plans drafted by the Bush administration and favored by industry.

The Bush rule would have allowed power plants to buy and sell pollution credits, instead of requiring each plant to install equipment to reduce mercury pollution.

ALL Fish In Every Tested US Stream Have Mercury In Them, New Study Reveals

Mercury can indeed pose a serious health threat to people who eat too much fish and seafood. But before you swear off sushi, consider the caveats.

"Fish, on balance, is recommended by doctors because it is high in protein and heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids."

Mercury levels in fish are typically minute, and they vary among different types of fish. And unless you're eating catch from polluted waters, you usually have to eat an awful lot of fish for quite a while before showing signs of mercury poisoning.

Mercury levels in fish are typically minute, and they vary among different types of fish. And unless you're eating catch from polluted waters, you usually have to eat an awful lot of fish for quite a while before showing signs of mercury poisoning. ....

"For the vast majority of people, it's not a real issue, because the vast majority of people don't eat fish more than once a week" - "It's for those people that we call the high-end consumers that we're most concerned with. .....

Eating fish twice a day for 20 years. Medical experts say adults who eat that much seafood can indeed risk mercury poisoning. .... Mercury occurs naturally in the atmosphere and humans pump even more of it into the air through pollution. When it lands on lakes, rivers and oceans, mercury can be transformed by microorganisms into a more toxic form called methylmercury. That's the danger for seafood eaters.

Trace amounts of methylmercury can build up in fish and shellfish. And it can build up in the animals that eat those fish, including humans, who then can experience neurological problems.

Symptoms can include tingling sensations around fingertips, toes and lips, a lack of coordination, vision problems and trouble articulating words. In extreme cases, mercury poisoning can cripple, kill and cause birth defects.

Health officials are most concerned about the danger to developing brains and nervous systems and issue strict consumption recommendations for children, pregnant women and women of childbearing age. But all adults are advised to watch their seafood consumption.

The Institute of Medicine of the National Academies recommended several years ago that healthy adult men who consume more than two servings of seafood a week eat different varieties of fish to lessen risks of loading up on a single contaminant.

The rule of thumb is the lower on the food chain, the lower the mercury level. Salmon and flounder will tend to have lower levels than larger predators, such as shark and swordfish.

Eating sushi can be a concern because bluefin and other sushi-grade tuna tend to be bigger fish. But again, it's a matter of how much you eat. A piece of sushi could have less than half an ounce of tuna, according to Gochfeld. Eat a few pieces a week, there is likely no issue. Eat 20 pieces of sushi per meal multiple times a week, there could be a problems.

While people will sometimes point to the sushi-loving Japanese as proof of the food's safety, Gochfeld says that people in Japan consume a wide variety of seafood, including fish lower on the food chain, such as herring and sprat.

Former New York Mayor Ed Koch says he learned the risks of eating high-on-the-seafood chain several years ago when he started eating swordfish belly three or four times a week.

Koch showed no symptoms but had his blood tested as a precaution after being told of the potential dangers of mercury. The results: blood levels more than seven times normal.

The lesson here is moderation. People tend to get mercury poisoning through chronic exposure to small doses over long periods

It can take many months, but mercury levels in the body decrease over time. Koch, for instance, says it took about a year to get his levels down (he still eats swordfish, but only about once a month)

The Piven principle: You can eat too much fish:

California Republican crisis budget cuts - deny out of jobs adults any eye and dental care. Cut social services, schools. Build prisons.

So Arnold cuts $1 Billion from California's Higher Education Systems.

The simple fact is 250,000 Students will be denied Community College Access and 40,000 student slots are now removed from the CSU System.

And, Republican Arnold wants $1.9 Billion for New State Prisons, and there are no cuts to the California Department of Corrections, where according to Senator Loni Hancock of Alameda County, 54,000 CDC Employees watch over 180,000 State Prisoners.

Fish caught near wastewater treatment plants serving five major U.S. cities had residues of pharmaceuticals in their livers.

Found were medicines used to treat high cholesterol, allergies, high blood pressure, bipolar disorder and depression.

Limited laboratory studies have shown that human cells failed to grow or took unusual shapes when exposed to combinations of some pharmaceuticals found in drinking water.

In an ongoing investigation, The Associated Press has reported trace concentrations of pharmaceuticals have been detected in drinking water provided to at least 46 million Americans.

Earlier research has confirmed that fish absorb medicines because the rivers they live in are contaminated with traces of drugs that are not removed in sewage treatment plants. Much of the contamination comes from the unmetabolized residues of pharmaceuticals that people have taken and excreted; unused medications dumped down the drain also contribute to the problem.

Trace concentrations of 7 drugs and 2 soap scent chemicals in fish at all 5 of the urban river sites. The amounts varied, but some of the fish had combinations of many of the compounds in their livers.

A person would have to eat hundreds of thousands of fish dinners to get even a single therapeutic dose, but even extremely diluted concentrations of pharmaceutical residues can harm fish, frogs and other aquatic species because of their constant exposure to contaminated water.

Findings from this first nationwide study of human drugs in fish tissue have prompted the Environmental Protection Agency to significantly expand similar ongoing research to more than 150 different locations.

The EPA has called for additional studies about the impact on humans of long-term consumption of minute amounts of medicines in their drinking water, especially in unknown combinations.

Very good new president Obama has restarted programs to research pollution.

Here comes socialism.

2009-2010 will rank with 1913-14, 1933-36, 1964-65 and 1981-82 as years that will permanently change our government, politics and lives.

Just as the stars were aligned for Wilson, Roosevelt, Johnson and Reagan, they are aligned for Obama. Simply put, we enter his administration as free-enterprise, market-dominated, laissez-faire America.

We will shortly become like Germany, France, the United Kingdom, or Sweden — a socialist democracy in which the government dominates the economy, determines private-sector priorities and offers a vastly expanded range of services to many more people at much higher taxes.

In implementing his agenda, Barack Obama will emulate the example of Franklin D. Roosevelt. (Not the liberal mythology of the New Deal, but the actuality of what it accomplished.)

When FDR took office, he was enormously successful in averting a total collapse of the banking system and the economy.

But his New Deal measures only succeeded in lowering the unemployment rate from 23 percent in 1933, when he took office, to 13 percent in the summer of 1937.
It never went lower. And his policies of over-regulation generated such business uncertainty that they triggered a second-term recession.

Unemployment in 1938 rose to 17 percent and, in 1940, on the verge of the war-driven recovery, stood at 15 percent. (These data and the real story of Hoover’s and Roosevelt’s missteps, uncolored by ideology, are available in The Forgotten Man by Amity Shlaes, copyright 2007.)

What is really needed is the right amount of regulation. Lassez-faire leads to corruption and crisis.

No charge, civil contempt, one stays in jail for years !!

Shocking. Crazy medieval practice.

One can spend a long time in jail in the U.S. without ever being charged with a crime.
It happened to H. Beatty Chadwick, a former Philadelphia-area lawyer, who has been behind bars for nearly 14 years without being charged.

Businessman Manuel Osete spent nearly three years in an Arizona jail without ever receiving a criminal charge. And investment manager Martin Armstrong faced a similar situation when he was held for more than six years in a Manhattan jail.

All three men were jailed for civil contempt, a murky legal concept. Some scholars say it is too often abused by judges, to the detriment of those charged and their due-process rights.

"These results of too many civil-contempt confinements are flatly outrageous and often unconstitutional," says Jayne Ressler, a professor at Brooklyn Law School.

In some contexts, the federal system limits civil-contempt confinement to 18 months. Some states have similar limits. But in other states, judges face few restrictions on how long someone can be held in civil contempt.

A judge generally can issue either a civil or criminal contempt charge whenever he or she feels that a party has disobeyed an order or has disrupted a proceeding.

Crazy stuff. Abusive system out of control.
