US: Democrats say they are going to force Republicans to support their Cap-and-Trade tax by attaching it to a bill to regulate offshore drilling, believing that no one would dare oppose such a bill in the wake of the recent Gulf oil spill. [Similar ploys have been used many times in the past by both Democrats and Republicans.] NY Times 2010 Jun 25 (Cached)

California welfare recipients, using debit cards given by the state, withdraw $1.8 million at casino ATMs over 8 months. This does not include money withdrawn from ATMs at bars and liquor stores.

US: Home sales fall to a record low, as tax credits expire. Downward trend expected to continue. [Once again, we see government intervention doing more harm than good. Intervention caused the sub-prime crash and could not possible be a cure for what it caused. Better to let markets correct themselves with supply and demand setting prices, sales, and interest rates.]

Scientists now claim that brain scans can predict your future behavior MORE effectively than YOU can. [Although the focus of this article is on how people make choices regarding their health, it is a small step to applying the same technology to behavior that the government may consider to be unacceptable. Your own testimony regarding your intentions could be disregarded in favor of a mandatory brain scan interpreted by technicians on the government payroll following orders to convict you of a crime you did not commit on the claim that your would have done so if not imprisoned. This is not as far-fetched as it may seem.]

Supreme Court rules in favor of Monsanto
(7-1) and lifts nationwide ban on GMO alfalfa. The Court also ruled that before GMO alfalfa can be planted, the USDA must submit an Environmental Impact Study (EIS) indicating that it is safe to plant and won’t contaminate other fields through cross pollination.  Several states are now seeking bans.
[The USDA holds GMO patents, so its EIS may not be objective.]

US: Senator Lieberman defends his bill to authorize the President to disconnect the Internet from international communication in the event of “cyberattack” – and says that we should follow the example of China in this regard. [If we didn’t know he is a globalist, dedicated to world government based on collectivism, he would almost sound convincing, but we know that his definition cyberattack or national security is much different that that of the average citizen. Besides, serious cyberattack could come from within the US as well as outside.] Liberty Maven 2010 22 (Cached)

CHEMTRAILS INVESTIGATORS WANTED
There is an interesting news report from Tennessee about a mysterious destruction of crops and just about everything else that grows. So far, the cause has not been determined, but we doubt if authorities are checking the plants to see if there is a residue of aluminum or barium that might be fallout from stratospheric spraying. We are hoping that someone in that area will be able to contact farmers or others who have reported this phenomenon and see if samples can be taken to a professional lab for analysis. This is happening in Tennessee along a large swath of land near the Shelby and Tipton county border along Herring Hill Road and elsewhere near the Mississippi River bottoms. Here’s the news report. Anyone interested? If so, please contact me at gedward.griffin@verizon.net.

US Senator Kyl (R-AZ) says he was told by Obama that the federal government is not interested in securing the Arizona border because that would reduce support for the pending immigration bill, which primarily is an amnesty bill. [Obama denies having said this, but the lack of federal action verifies its truth.] WSJ 2010 Jun 21 (Cached)

FDA proposes a ‘rule change’ to give one FDA bureaucrat the power to allow drug companies to add new ingredients to vaccines and drugs or alter the composition of old ones. This will allow Big Pharma to fast track new concoctions with minimal scientific evidence of effectiveness or safety.
[It should be obvious by now that the drug cartel now uses the FDA as a disguised marketing branch of their operations.] NVIC 2010 Jun 21 (Cached)

Apple Computer now collects the “precise” and “real-time geographic location” of its users’ iPhones, iPads, and computers when they download apps or media from the iTunes store. Users are prevented from downloading until they agree to this. LA Times 2010 Jun 21 (Cached)

Gulf area residents are angry because as the oil spill continues BP Oil boss Tony Hayward was seen enjoying a yacht race while Obama was golfing. [They are angry for the wrong reason. It’s not that these men are taking time to relax, but that, although they talk a good line, they are doing little to actually contain the spill even when they are on the job. The real story is that they want the spill to continue to serve as an excuse to curtail future oil production. Also, the destruction of marine life caused by toxic dispersant chemicals will become an excuse for UN laws supposedly to protect the undersea habitat. It’s all about money and power, and that is where the anger should be directed.]

The EU has adopted a regulation to prevent the construction of ordinary family homes starting in 2020. Other countries are expected to follow. New homes will have to be “near zero energy” buildings, which are unattractive compact cubes. [The global elite will not be affected. See the picture of a Al Gore’s California villa at the end of the article. Does it look “energy zero” to you?)

Hawaii former elections official confirms that Obama was born outside of Hawaii. However, he
still claims that Obama could be a born American citzen and says, if people disagree over his eligibility, they should not blame Obama but the process by which he was vetted for office.
In further discussion, he is clueless about the degree to which federal politicians no longer serve the American people.

BP Oil and the Political Agenda, an excellent summary of the issues and facts NOT covered by mainstream media. Of particular interest are several short videos, including one on a cheap, fast, non-toxic, and proven method of cleaning up the oil but which is ignored by BP and the federal government. [It is clear from these facts that those in charge do not want to solve the problem but seek an agenda that benefits from the catastrophe itself.]
