war and lied to get one, aided by selfish people in the media WHO TOOK
MONEY FROM Goverment TO LIE TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. The government and

gain. Look at their faces. How can you not be angry?
A flight coming from Germany was diverted to Boston after a woman on the plane complained of flu-like symptoms.
United flight 903 from Munich to Dulles made an emergency stop in
Boston because a 53-year-old woman was complaining of feeling ill.
According to airport officials, there are 245 passengers onboard the plane and 16 crew members.
Officials are not bringing the plane into a terminal, officials
said. Instead, they are taxied the plane into a cargo terminal at the
airport.
The passengers will be isolated on the plane until officials can figure out how to handle the situation.

Chrysler's Canadian assembly plants shut down indefinitely Friday, a
byproduct of the company's bankruptcy protection filing the day before
in the United States.
Both of the company's Ontario assembly plants in Windsor and
Brampton are now closed as their stream of parts from suppliers has
dried up.
Roughly 2,700 employees at the Brampton plant and 4,400 in Windsor are affected by the shutdowns.
The Government is pushing ahead with legislation that will
criminalise politically incorrect jokes, with a maximum punishment of
up to seven years' prison. The House of Lords tried to insert a
free-speech amendment, but Justice Secretary Jack Straw knocked it out.
It was Straw who previously called for a redefinition of Englishness
and suggested the "global baggage of empire" was linked to soccer
violence by "racist and xenophobic white males". He claimed the English
"propensity for violence" was used to subjugate Ireland, Scotland and
Wales, and that the English as a race were "potentially very
aggressive".
THE Crown Office has been accused of double standards by Scotland's
biggest Islamic group for not bringing terrorism charges against a man
who threatened to blow up a mosque and behead Muslims.
The Scottish Islamic Foundation (SIF) has written to Lord Advocate
Elish Angiolini querying the decision to prosecute Neil MacGregor for a
breach of the peace, not terrorism offences.
Dieters who use the weight loss and energy-boosting Hydroxycut
supplements should immediately stop, the US drug regulator warned
Friday after reports of liver injuries and one death.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said one person had died
from liver failure. The agency has received 23 reports of liver
problems linked with use of the products, ranging from jaundice to
damage requiring liver transplant.
The protest, organized by the US Campaign to End the Israeli

Recently, in a Washington Post op-ed, Mark Danner wrote: "However

what was done in those isolated rooms on the other side of the world

government offices where officials devised ‘legal’ rationales, the
story includes a second narrative that tells of a society that knew
about these things and chose to do nothing."
One hundred and seventy-nine dead soldiers. For what? 179,000 dead

USA TODAY attributes its decline to a drop-off in hotel occupancy
due to the economic slump plus a December price increase for
non-subscription copies. Does that give you a clue? It’s famous for the
easy-to-read, non-investigative, non-challenging and totally bland as a
hotel room’s wallpaper writing with lots of pictures to boot, duh. It
is the antithesis of what journalism should be -- and the opposite of
what the Internet is, rich with facts, opinions, theories, history,
politics, blogs, websites, search engines, conspiracy theories, truth,

The United Nations is demanding that Israel freeze all pending demolition orders against Palestinian homes in East Jerusalem.
An attorney who served in the Clinton administration was found dead

Torture has received the most attention among the many war crimes of
the Bush administration. But those who support Bush’s pursuit of the
"war on terror" have not been impressed by recriminations over torture.
Worse than torture are the murders of at least 50 prisoners in Abu
Ghraib, Afghanistan, and Guantánamo, but again the hard-hearted are
unimpressed when those whom they perceive as terrorists receive illegal
extrajudicial capital punishment.
The case for abusing children, however, is more difficult to support.
A false claim is wafting through the press: Obama is hanging tough
with Benjamin Netanyahu, he’s going to "twist Israel’s arm" and at long
last force the Jewish state into a two-state agreement, settling the
Israel-Palestine question for good. There’s even talk that Obama backs
the Arab League’s 2002 peace initiative, complete with its main demand:
Israel’s withdrawal to its 1967 borders.
There’s no proof for any of this.
Nancy Pelosi didn’t cry foul when the Bush administration briefed
her on “enhanced interrogation” of terror suspects in 2002, but her
team was locked and loaded to counter hypocrisy charges when the
“torture” memos were released last week.
Many Republicans obliged, led by former CIA chief Porter Goss, who
is accusing Democrats like Pelosi of “amnesia” for demanding
investigations in 2009 after failing to raise objections seven years
ago when she first learned of the legal basis for the program.
In previous animal studies and cell cultures, researchers have shown

While Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu is striving to put a good
face on his conspicuously extremist government, Foreign Minister
Avigdor Lieberman has warned that he will bring down the government if
Netanyahu gives even an inch to President Barack Obama over the

This time, however, the Jews actually did conspire, albeit openly, to sabotage the conference.

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice leaked national defense
information to a pro-Israel lobbyist in the same manner that landed a
lower-level Pentagon official a 12-year prison sentence, the lobbyist's
lawyer said Friday.
Pentagon Iran analyst Larry Franklin was sentenced to 12 years and
seven months in prison after he pled guilty to passing classified
military intelligence about Iran and Iraq to two indicted former top
lobbyists for the American Israel Public Affairs Committee as well as
an Israeli diplomat.
This was not a
happy week for the torture lobby, nor its defenders, derailing months
of charm offensive by Bush-Cheney legacy boosters. A wary President
Obama backed off attempts to defuse the torture parade – fretting over
divisive investigations and hard-to-win court convictions. Public
indignation likely surpassed February polling when 65% favored torture
investigations, 40% criminal prosecutions.
“Those insects weren’t even poisonous,” Cheney growled. “Facial

Those methods worked. They kept us safe for seven years. Safer than
with that delicate Hawaiian orchid in the White House. America is
coming across as weak and indecisive. Just when Rummy and I had stomped
out that ‘Blame America First’ flower-child culture, Obama has dragged
it back, apologizing profusely all over the world for the country he’s
running, canoodling with greasy dictators, kissing up to those weasels
in Europe, which is only free today because of our military. Friends
and foes alike will be quick to take advantage if they think they’re
dealing with a Creamsicle.”
This bill is all about provoking the Iranians, effectively
sabotaging efforts to engage in a mutual dialogue with Tehran. Why the
egregious packaging? Well, it seems the American people are sick and
tired of war, and preparations for war, and so it is far less
incriminating if a member of Congress can say he (or she) voted for
"the Iran Diplomatic Enhancement Act" than it is to admit they
supported isolating Iran economically.
In exchange for money, a certain group of people have agreed to let
your kids be killed. That group is the United States Congress. And for
the last several years, many of them have been accepting money from
AIPAC, a supposed lobbying group that stands exposed as a spy operation
for a foreign government, in order to promote that foreign government's
agenda, which includes war in the Mideast, waged against that foreign
government's enemies.
This selling of America's children to a foreign government to be
that government's mercenaries has to rank as the greatest single
betrayal of a people by their government in all of history.
May Day has become nothing more than the 1st of May in many

A web tool that "could be as important as Google", according to some experts, has been shown off to the public.
Wolfram Alpha is the brainchild of British-born physicist Stephen Wolfram.
The free program aims to answer questions directly, rather than display web pages in response to a query like a search engine.
The "computational knowledge engine", as the technology is known,
will be available to the public from the middle of May this year.
"Our goal is to make expert knowledge accessible to anyone,
anywhere, anytime," said Dr Wolfram at the demonstration at Harvard
University's Berkman Center for Internet and Society.
Schweitzer took a look at the pristine leg bone of a plant-eating
hadrosaur that had been encased in sandstone for 80 million years. She
and colleagues exhaustively tested the sample, sequencing the proteins
they found with a new and better mass spectrometer and sending samples
to two other labs for verification.
Now they report recovering not just collagen – which conveys little
evolutionary information because it is the same in almost all animals –
but also haemoglobin, elastin and laminin, as well as cell-like
structures resembling blood and bone cells. The proteins should reveal
more about dinosaur evolution because they vary much more between
species.
The memo, dated March 26, 2009, is titled “Domestic Extremism
Lexicon,” and came after the original memo fingering right-wing groups

practitioners and black nationalists.
Little by
little, the Illuminati bankers are dropping their mask and revealing
the evil agenda behind current events. What is called "progressive" and
"liberal" is in fact satanic. What is called "revolution" is aimed at
overthrowing God --the natural and spiritual (moral) order-- and
replacing Him with dictates of devil worshipers, the Rothschilds and
their lackeys.
When we read about "Hate Laws" that protect pedophiles, sex
education for five-year-olds, the promotion of homosexuality to
heterosexuals, we must see them in spiritual context, as the Luciferian
overthrow of all that is natural, healthy, true and good, turning the
world upside down, i.e. "revolution."

In the Dutch town of Apeldoorn a man attempted to crash his car into
a bus carrying the Dutch Crown Prince, his wife and other members of
their family. Queen Beatrix was not aboard the bus. Four people were
killed when the man drove his car at considerable speed through the
crowd. Five people, three of them children, were critically injured and
a number of others suffered lesser injuries. The car did not reach the
royal bus, but came to a standstill against a statue when the driver
lost control over his vehicle. The driver, who was also severely
wounded, is in custody. The car came within some 40 yards of the bus.
The royal bus tour was part of Queen’s Day activities, a national
holiday celebrating the bond between the Netherlands and the House of
Orange.

The memo, entitled “Executive Branch Minders’ Intimidation of Witnesses,” complains that:
* Minders “answer[ed] questions directed at witnesses;”
*
Minders acted as “monitors, reporting to their respective agencies on
Commission staffs lines of inquiry and witnesses’ verbatim responses.”
The staff thought this “conveys to witnesses that their superiors will
review their statements and may engage in retribution;” and
* Minders “positioned themselves physically and have conducted
themselves in a manner that we believe intimidates witnesses from
giving full and candid responses to our questions.”

he ran an Ohio company called New Media Communications that set up
websites for Republicans including former President George H.W. Bush
and Florida Gov. Jeb Bush. But it wasn't until after he died last
December, when the small plane he was piloting crashed, that she
learned via the Internet of his tie to a voter fraud case and to
allegations that presidential adviser Karl Rove had made threats
against him...."But as time goes on, it's hard for me not to believe
there was something deliberate about it."
At this moment, Mexico is in the midst of an existential crisis. The
combined realities of its corrupt government, the routes of the drug
trade, and the neighboring drug market have combined to give rise to a
system of drug cartels that rival the Mexican Government in economic
power as well as raw firepower. Calderón is losing grip on the country
his illegal election stole from Lopez Obrador . This darling of the
corrupt Mexican ruling class has little means left with which to hold
his grip upon power. Whether or not it will work, he seems to have made
the decision to exaggerate a health crisis as a means to consolidate
absolute power and to confer upon himself the powers necessary to stamp
out those parts of the drug oligarchy not under his personal control.
Americans have perpetuated a mythic version of the past that never

At the cap-and-trade hearings, it was revealed that not everyone
will suffer from this growth-killing energy tax. A congresswoman wanted
to know why sea levels aren't rising but Gore's bank account is.
When Gore left office in January 2001, he was said to have a net
worth in the neighborhood of $2 million. A mere eight years later,
estimates are that he is now worth about $100 million. It seems it's
easy being green, at least for some.
Gore has his lectures and speeches, his books, a hit movie and

Controversy has erupted at UC Santa Barbara over a professor's
decision to send his students an e-mail in which he compared graphic
images of Jews in the Holocaust to pictures of Palestinians caught up

The New York Times Co, which bought the Globe for $1.1 billion in

As the deadline approaches, the future of one of America's most

Special prosecutors said today that scores of criminal suspects were
routinely tortured by police officers on the South Side in the 1970’s

The strategic goal was to turn Wall Street into a big casino for the
"in crowd" of major investors, funds, and institutions. No rules and no
regulations: "let the market take care of it" was the philosophy.
The tactics were easy. First you set up a scholarly group called the
Law and Economics movement to give your scheme legitimacy. Then you
give money and other favors to members of Congress.
At the right moment, you call in your congressional markers to let
the banks start doing what they did to spark the Great Depression. Walk
into the Wall Street casino loaded with cash and spend like they're on
coke.
The denial of assistance to citizens by Senators is ironic given the fact that the origins of the current economic crisis came from Senate legislative actions in 1999 and 2000.

“She tried to say she didn’t authorize anything, then proceeded to
say she did pass orders along to the CIA to engage in torture if it was
legal by the standard of the Department of Justice,” Dean said. “This
really puts her right in the middle of a common plan, as it’s known in
international law, or a conspiracy, as it’s known in American law, and
this indeed is a crime. If it indeed happened the way we think it did
happen.”
Asked if the comparison between her comments and Nixon’s were fair, Dean said it was “fuzzy.”

China, wary of the troubled US economy, has already "canceled
America's credit card" by cutting down purchases of debt, a US
congressman said Thursday.
China has the world's largest foreign reserves, believed to be
mostly in dollars, along with around 800 billion dollars in US Treasury
bonds, more than any other country.
But Treasury Department data shows that investors in China have
sharply curtailed their purchases of bonds in January and February.
The US Senate on Thursday defeated a measure that could have helped

A political source in Jerusalem said that Netanyahu's associates

The aides also fear a public clash between the two premiers, such as
during a news conference or in comments the pair make, in which their

The incident
took place in June 2007 at a factory in Bålsta, north of Stockholm,
when the industrial worker was trying to carry out maintenance on a
defective machine generally used to lift heavy rocks. Thinking he had
cut off the power supply, the man approached the robot with no sense of
trepidation.
But the robot suddenly came to life and grabbed a tight hold of the
victim's head. The man succeeded in defending himself but not before
suffering serious injuries.
"The man was very lucky. He broke four ribs and came close to losing his life," said Leif Johansson.
We have gone
demented. Two Britons are or were (not very) ill from flu. "This could
really explode," intones a reporter for BBC News. "London warned: it's
here," cries the Evening Standard. Fear is said to be spreading "like a
Mexican wave". It "could affect" three-quarters of a million Britons.
It "could cost" three trillion dollars. The "danger", according to the
radio, is that workers who are not ill will be "worried" (perhaps by
the reporter) and fail to turn up at power stations and hospitals.
Appropriately panicked, on Monday ministers plunged into their Cobra

You can postpone," he told Channel 10.

Why Congress Won't Investigate Wall Street
Republicans and Democrats would find themselves in the hot seat.
The famous Pecora Commission of 1933 and 1934 was one of the most
successful congressional investigations of all time, an instance when
oversight worked exactly as it should. The subject was the massively
corrupt investment practices of the 1920s.
A new round of regulation is clearly in order these days, and a
Pecora-style investigation seems like a good way to jolt the Obama
administration into action.
At Treasury, Big White House Role
After Early Snafus, Emanuel Helps Geithner With Policies; 'Rahm Wants It'
WASHINGTON -- On Jan. 20, Timothy Geithner took control of
the Treasury Department, directing the government's response to the
financial crisis.
Within three weeks, the White House tightened its grip, alarmed by
the poor reaction to Mr. Geithner's performance during the rollout of
his rescue plan, government officials say. Since then, White House
Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel has been so involved in the workings of the
Treasury that "Rahm wants it" has become an unofficial mantra among
some at the Treasury, according to government officials.
BBC - Lenders object to Chrysler plan -A [unnamed]
group representing 20 Chrysler lenders, holding $1bn (£674m) in debt,
are set to object to the firm's move into Chapter 11 bankruptcy
protection.
"They [Chrysler] say they are going to allocate out and distribute
the proceeds of the sale in a way that they couldn't do if they were
going to do it under a Chapter 11 plan," said Tom Lauria, a bankruptcy
attorney at White & Case, representing a [unnamed] group of secured lenders.
BBC - The effects of the continuing banking crisis will be felt for generations, a committee of MPs has warned.
The Treasury committee, in its second report on the crisis, said it
had been caused largely by the banks' own reckless behaviour.
"Bankers have made an astonishing mess of the financial system," said committee chairman John McFall.
[The credit economy drops its drawers to expose the extent of its hideous disease. It's just creepy, the credit economy.]
The problem is that bankruptcy is the only weapon Chrysler and Treasury have in this fight, and it’s a strategic nuclear weapon.
Bankruptcy is the only threat that can get the bondholders to agree to
a swap; but because a bankruptcy carries some risk of destroying
Chrysler (because control will lie in the hands of a bankruptcy judge -
not Chrysler, Treasury, the UAW, or Fiat), and taking hundreds of
thousands of jobs with it, everyone knows that Treasury would prefer
not to use it. The bondholders are betting that they can use Treasury’s
fear of a bankruptcy to extract better terms at the last minute.

A controversial
Alberta bill will enshrine into law the rights of parents to pull their
children out of classes discussing the topics of evolution and
homosexuality.
The new rules that would require schools to notify parents in
advance for "subject-matter that deals explicitly with religion,
sexuality or sexual orientation" is buried in a bill that extends human
rights to homosexuals. Parents can ask for their child to be excluded
from the discussion.
Bruseker did happen to mention that it would be difficult for
teachers to avoid the topic of evolution in science or geography classes.

In his first
100 days, Obama has excused torture, opposed habeas corpus, and
demanded more secret government. He has kept Bush’s gulag intact and at
least 17,000 prisoners beyond the reach of justice. On April 24, his
lawyers won an appeal that ruled Guantanamo prisoners were not
"persons" and therefore had no right not to be tortured. His national
intelligence director, Adm. Dennis Blair, says he believes torture
works. One of his senior officials in Latin America is accused of
covering up the torture of an American nun in Guatemala; another is a
Pinochet apologist. As Daniel Ellsberg has pointed out, America
experienced a military coup under Bush, whose secretary of "defense,"
Robert Gates, along with the same warmaking officials, have been
retained by Obama.
One of the

that employees at these places are doing just fine.
JERUSALEM –
Israel warned the European Union on Thursday to tone down its criticism
of the new Israeli government or risk forfeiting the bloc's role as
broker in Mideast peace efforts.
The warning came after EU's commissioner for external relations,
Benita Ferrero-Waldner, this week criticized Israel's refusal to
endorse a Palestinian state. She said an upgrade in Israeli-EU
relations would depend on Israel's commitment to the "two-state
solution."
It also came ahead of a planned trip to Europe next week by Israel's
foreign minister, Avigdor Lieberman — his first official trip abroad.
The ultranationalist Lieberman's comments about Arabs and Mideast peace
have raised international concerns about the new Israeli Cabinet's
intentions.
Finding the
source of a new virus is key for scientists because understanding how
it jumped to humans can lead to better drugs and vaccines as well as
help prevent future outbreaks.
But one link experts probably won't be exploring is an Internet
report charging that Mexican drug cartels working with al Qaeda
unleashed the swine flu.
"The claim of the conspiracy theorists is that this new combination
could not have occurred naturally, but this is not true," the New
Scientist's biology editor Michael Le Page wrote.

The number of
people who police in England and Wales stop and search under
anti-terrorism laws has trebled in just a year, but only a handful
result in arrests.
Officers were last night accused of abusing their powers after it
emerged just one per cent of around 124,000 "suspects" targeted in
2007/08 were arrested - and only a fraction of those were for terrorism
related offences.
Nearly 90 per cent of the searches were carried out in London by the
Metropolitan Police, which saw a 266 per cent increase, with the
aftermath of the attempted nightclub bombing in the Haymarket in the
summer of 2007 blamed for the rise.
The level of stop and searches for other suspected offences also
increased to more than a million last year - the highest for a decade.
President Obama announced that the flu is already here, no need to trying to stop it with shutting down the border.
The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), America’s
pro-Zionist Israeli lobby group, will meet from Sunday 3 May through to
5 May to determine the Obama administration’s foreign policy for the
coming year. America’s foreign policy chief for the Middle East,
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, will be flying in especially
for the occasion.
Earlier this
year, Adobe had to fess up that its flagship PDF Reader, used by
virtually the entire business and Internet communities had a critical
security vulnerability which could cause the application to crash and
could potentially allow an attacker to take control of the affected
system. Now their security staff is reporting that a critical
vulnerability in every version of the Reader may be affected due to a
weakness found in JavaScript.

As the media focus on a global sneezing fit, the plight of people in Congo, Somalia, Burma and China is being ignored.

For others, like the Israeli and Sri Lankan governments, flu victims
provide a welcome diversion from military victims. While the Sri
Lanka's Tamil-bashing president, Mahinda Rajapaksa, seems hell-bent on
turning his country into a rogue state, Israel's army has been quietly
insisting its not dissimilar operations in Gaza in January were
entirely in accordance with international law.
Human Rights Watch heaped scorn on Israel's claims this week while
the International Crisis Group warned that a "boiling" Gaza could soon
explode again. But with the world busy holding its nose and examining
the contents of its handkerchief, who's listening?
Today, so far, there have been no calls at all. We have 15,000
patients and are close to one of the larger airports in England, but
have not seen a case of flu. We have not had a single patient worrying
that he or she might have flu. It feels like a phoney war. We have seen
two patients with heart attacks, three acute asthmatic attacks, and a
child who had swallowed an implausibly large piece of Lego. Such is
general practice.
We met at lunchtime, not to talk of heart attacks and Lego, but of
flu. There have been deaths in Mexico. There has been one in the US.
Our Indian partner said: "There were 2,000 deaths, mainly children in
Africa and Asia, yesterday."
It has been
called "the most astounding piece of sleight of hand ever invented."
The creation of money has been privatized, usurped from Congress by a
private banking cartel. Most people think money is issued by fiat by
the government, but that is not the case. Except for coins, which
compose only about one one-thousandth of the total U.S. money supply,
all of our money is now created by banks. Federal Reserve Notes (dollar
bills) are issued by the Federal Reserve, a private banking
corporation, and lent to the government. Moreover, Federal Reserve
Notes and coins together compose less than 3 percent of the money
supply. The other 97 percent is created by commercial banks as loans.

Desperately trying to keep the fear up.
Seriously, they have all been together on that plane for 8 hours. What does changing the destination from Dulles to Logan do except create headlines?
