Mississippi nuclear plant releases unknown amount of radioactive tritium into the Mississippi River. Authorities don’t know where it came from or even why it was there. Tritium is not normally used in nuclear plants and it was found in a structure that never has been used. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission says health is not threatened. [Let’s get this right: They don’t know where it came from or if it still is arriving from some unknown source, and they don’t know how much was dumped into the river; but don’t worry folks, it is perfectly safe.]

Pakistan military, responding to the bin Laden raid, says that more US raids would result in a review of further cooperation with Washington. [What a weak statement of protest this is. Pakistan is unlikely to jeopardize its multi-billion aid package it gets from Uncle Sam, but they have to say something that sounds good to the Pakistani people. The U.S. frequently bombs areas of Pakistan with drones, and the Pakistan government remains silent.] AFP 2011 May 5 (Cached)

US: EPA and Army Corps of Engineers can take control of almost all water sources under the misnamed Clean Water Act, claiming it is necessary to combat pollution. [Combating pollution is a worthy goal; but, unfortunately, the EPA is heavily influenced by the same corporate interests that are the worst polluters. This is about control, not clean water.] NaturalNews 2011 May 4 (Cached)

Maryland to sue Chesapeake Energy for poisoning farmlands and waterways with toxic chemicals used for ‘fracking’ (fracturing underground rock formation to release trapped gas and oil). The company is not required to identify the chemicals, because they are considered proprietary.

US: Environmental Protection Aegncy (badly misnamed) stops special monitoring for Fukushima fallout despite increased radiation in rainwater, drinking water, milk, and California topsoil. [If EPA stops looking for radiation, it honestly can say it is unaware of any danger.]

Former EPA whistleblower releases a peer-reviewed study that discredits the theory of global warming because it is contradicted by real-word data. Therefore, it is foolish to regulate CO2 emissions. His original report was banned in the EPA and never made public, because the EPA has a political agenda that requires belief in the global-warming myth. BigSkyBusiness 2011 May 4 (Cached)

US: Computer rental company is sued for spying on customers from rented laptops, including intercepting messages, taking webcam pictures, and tracking keystrokes. [Last year, a school district was caught doing this and had to pay $600,000 in damages. Well, not quite. Not the school district or the people who did the spying, but the taxpayers paid the fine.] ABC News 2011 May 4 (Cached)

Missouri farmers sue the Army Corps of Engineers for blasting levees to prevent swelling of the Mississippi River. The farmers’ previously protected property now is flooded, and the growing season has been lost. The Supreme Court declined to get involved when Missouri tried to stop the Army Corps from blasting the levy. STLToday 2011 May 3 (Cached)

Several mainstream news sources published photos of dead Osama Bin Laden, but they clearly are digital forgeries based on a photo of another man. The U.S. claims it has real photos and is considering releasing them. [It is difficult to imagine why this was not done immediately. We shall see.]

Chinese central banker recommends China dump 2/3 of its US dollar reserves of $3 trillion, and replace it with more ‘strategic’ investments.

Secret EU deal to merge southern England and northern France into a new territory called “Arc-Manche” is revealed. Millions of pounds have been earmarked for the project, and a flag has already been designed. [Most British citizens support national sovereignty, and support is growing for leaving the EU.

Scotland’s government (taxpayers) paid over $1.3 million to wind farms to stop producing energy for 2 days. Because of high winds and rainfall (which increased hydro-electric generation at the same time) the grids could not absorb the energy. [The amount paid to stop production was 20 times greater than what the wind farms would have earned if they had actually produced electricity.] BBC 2011 May 1 (Cached)

                            ANALYSIS
Reports and commentaries that look beyond the news to identify historical facts and trends that must be understood to place the news into perspective. This is our “think-tank” section that makes it possible to anticipate future events.

Spot price of silver has steeply declined in the last few days but is expected to bounce back – and beyond – in the near future. [The decline is due to tightening lending rules in the futures market, not a change in supply or demand. It is related to speculation, not market forces. ‘Short’ speculators (who have sold silver they do not own and, therefore, must purchase it when it is time to complete their contracts) are being flushed out of the market, and this includes some of the biggest banks in the world. If they default on physical deliveries when contracts mature this summer, the market will collapse, and the manipulated (unrealistic) ‘spot price’ will be discredited forever. It is not clear what will emerge to replace it, but two things are certain: (1) real prices will continue upward and (2) physical possession is the only way to own precious metals.] SeekingAlpha 2011 May 4 (Cached)
