UN International Monetary Fund is doubling its bailout reserves to $400 billion to cover EU government debt to banks. [This money will come from taxpayers in nations that are struggling to avoid getting into the same debt crunch as the EU nations that will receive the money. Therefore, the IMF is not solving the problem but merely spreading it around the world and making it worse.] Reuters 2012 Apr 20 (Cached)
Monsanto buys a major research company that specializes in studying bees and bee-colony collapse.[What a cunning move this is. Increasingly, the evidence has been coming forth that the primary causes of a decline in bee population are the toxic agricultural sprays produced by chemical companies like Monsanto. Now this research will be controlled.]

US: Proposed new transportation bill (MAP 21) would make it mandatory for all cars to have real-time tracking technology so you can be taxed by the number of miles you drive. [The technology also could be used to track your movements and observe you and listen to your conversation inside your car.] Prison Planet 2012 Apr 19 (Cached)
Medical-expert group defends a man arrested for spreading HIV and proves in court that a medical diagnosis is totally invalid as proof of the disease.[That is because a diagnosis is based on tests for HIV antibodies, not the virus itself. Since other things can produce the same antibodies, such tests are far from conclusive.] OMSJ Posted Apr 19 (Cached)
US: Newly proposed transportation bill would revoke passports of individuals who the IRS suspects of owing $50,000 or more in taxes. [The key word here is ‘suspects.’ No court ruling or proof of guilt would be required; just the suspicion of someone at the IRS.] Commentary Magazine 2012 Apr 18 (Cached)

US: New TSA program in Houston will include plainclothes officers on buses, bag checks, and canine patrols – to protect us from terrorists, of course. [How many genuine terrorists have ever operated in the US? By genuine, we do not mean those recruited by the FBI. Now compare that very small number (some would argue that it is zero) to the hundreds of thousands of so-called anti-terrorist agents and police employed by the government. Something is wrong with this picture.] InfoWars 2012 Apr 17 (Cached)
Israeli officer rams his rifle into the face of an unarmed Danish pro-Palestinian peace protester, tarnishing Israel’s image. The officer says the Dane struck him with a stick prior to the filmed altercation. [The video clearly shows this not to be the case.] AP 2012 Apr 17 (Cached)
Argentina will nationalize the local operations of Repsol, a major oil and energy company headquartered in Spain. [The Argentine government says it is justified because Repsol created a local energy crisis by exporting most of its oil and failed to invest profits locally. Repsol says this is merely a move to bolster the falling approval ratings of Argentina’s president, Cristina Fernandez. Regardless of the merits of these claims, the proper function of the state does not include running commercial enterprises.] CBS 2012 Apr 17 (Cached)
The UN’s World Health Organization and Bill Gates claim that polio in India has been eradicated by vaccines. Meanwhile, there is a virtual epidemic of vaccine-damaged children. It is ironic that the symptoms caused by polio-vaccine adverse reactions (including paralysis) are the same as polio. [The message? We have more paralyzed kids than ever but, look at the bright side: They don’t have polio. So keep those shots going, folks.] TheRefusers 2012 Apr 16 (Cached)
 Judge Napolitano explains that federal agents now can arrest and bring felony charges against protesters. Free speech in the presence of political leaders has been outlawed in America.

Pakistan, which has been angry over US drone attacks on civilians within its country, has been denied US assistance in building its own fleet of drones – so now it will do so with support from China. PRI 2012 Apr 16 (Cached)
Polar bears and penguins are thriving while Arctic sea ice and Asian glaciers are increasing. Global-warming myth makers are proven wrong again. InfoWars 2012 Apr 16 (Cached)
Obama issues an executive order to create a new federal committee to control the natural-gas industry, using the excuse of curtailing dangerous fracking practices. [Gas industry leaders praise the move – which tells us they do not expect to be greatly inconvenienced by it and that they are confident they can control the controllers.] InfoWars 2012 Apr 16 (Cached)
 Monsanto is partnering with the US Agency for International Development to push its patented seeds on the struggling farmers in Nepal – to improve crop yields, of course. [The real result will be, as in India, that crop yields eventually go down; but, by then, farmers are dependent on Monsanto seeds forevermore. We wonder what it cost Monsanto to hire the US government as its sales department.]

Suppressed report shows that fluoride in drinking water has caused over 10,000 cancer deaths and increases tumor size. [That report was prepared in 1977. We can only wonder how much larger the numbers are today.] NaturalSociety 2012 Apr 14 (Cached)
Nevada: Federal government says it will confiscate the cattle owned by a local rancher, because they are on BLM land. The rancher and local sheriff are standing their ground on the fact that Nevada actually owns the land, not the federal government, and that private property rights held for generations supersede federal interests. [The BLM has backed off – for now.] LVRJ Posted 2012 Apr 14 (Cached)
United Arab Emirates will embed mobile phones with citizens’ name, birthday, gender, photograph, fingerprint, and ID number. EFF Posted 2012 Apr 14 (Cached)
 John Stossel interviews a former Federal Reserve employee who advocates competing currencies and free markets instead of central planning. [The reason this is a good concept is that strong non-government currencies (backed by something more valuable than political promises) would not be subject to inflation and eventually would become the currency of choice, causing Federal Reserve Notes to be discounted or rejected altogether.] YouTube Posted 2012 Apr 14
US: Hacking expert says that the new electric-power Smart Grid now being installed across the country is 100% certain to be hacked, leading to massive failure of the entire grid.

Iceland’s President twice vetoed legislation that would have forced taxpayers to bail out the country’s failed banks. Each time, the legislation then was put before the voters as a referendum and, to no one’s surprise, was rejected again. [The banks folded, and their assets were sold. Now the country is in a state of solid recovery. Is there a lesson here for the rest of the world?] Business Insider Posted 2012 Apr 14 (Cached)

This amazing diagram shows how banking executives have become top government officials who supposedly regulate the very banks from which they came. [This makes it easy to see how banks have captured government and continue to avoid meaningful regulation – and how they use government to plunder taxpayers for their bailouts.] InfoWars 2012 Apr 15 (Cached)
