US: Legal opposition to the introduction of genetically engineered alfalfa has been bungled time and again. This is assumed to be mere incompetence, but now we learn that the lawyers opposing GE seeds receive funding from those who promote GE seeds? [The phrase ‘controlled opposition’ comes to mind.] MorphCity 2011 Jul 29 (Cached)

Goldman Sachs strikes again! It has acquired a major share of warehouses that store industrial metals, such as aluminum. Following rules of the London Metals Exchange (no free market here), they are allowed to keep the metal in their warehouses long after the owners ask for delivery. This gives Goldman additional storage fees and creates an artificial shortage, which drives up the price. [Because Goldman is a major trader in these metals, it benefits from scarcity – especially if it can manipulate delivery schedules.]  Reuters 2011 Jul 29 (Cached)

In spite of massive bee die-off in rural areas, healthy hives are thriving in cities. [This article fails to point out the most likely cause of the difference: Pesticides are used in farming areas but not in urban areas. Unfortunately, urban bees are too few in number and in the wrong location for pollination of crops.] Yahoo 2011 Jul 29 (Cached)

Czech President equates environmentalism with Communism. The goal, he says, is control over society. Herald Sun 2011 Jul 28 (Cached)

US: Posse Comitatus is a rule of law that used to prohibit the federal government from using military forces for law enforcement inside the United States. That was the job of states and local government. The purpose was to prevent a federal dictatorship. Here are examples of how Posse Comitatus now is ignored in America. InfoWars 2011 Jul 28 (Cached)

Greece: Government signs over ALL of its assets (real estate, cash funds, and tax revenues) to the European Commission, IMF, and the European Central Bank as collateral for the bailouts it received. The bailout money went to pay interest on loans from foreign banks. [Rebellion is possible but, if so, the present collectivist regime likely will be replaced by a new collectivist regime, and the plunder will continue.] RawStory 2011 Jul 28 (Cached)

South Korea: Scientists genetically engineered a cloned dog that glows in the dark. [They claim to be looking for cures of human diseases, but this must be viewed as part of the global race for genetically engineering sub-species of humans.]

Bank of America is bulldozing foreclosed homes it does not want on its books because of their low value. However, part of the reason for their low value is that the bank allowed them to fall into ruin. Wells Fargo, Citigroup, JP Morgan, and Fannie Mae are considering similar action.

Nigeria: Government vows to prosecute parents who reject polio vaccines for their children. These vaccines were suspended in 2003-2004 because Muslim leaders said they were causing infertility and it was a Western depopulation plot.

Calls and e-mails flood Congress after Obama’s TV appeal to raise the debt ceiling. His message was simple: To have “a balanced approach to reducing the dept,” Congress must increase the debt. [Millions of brain-dead Americans think that makes sense.]

US: Banks have an ever-growing inventory of mortgage-defaulted homes. If they put them all up for sale, the home market would be depressed even further than it is now. [Although banks have been bailed out by taxpayers partly to cover these losses, eventually, the homes must be sold or bulldozed. If sold, the home market will drop further. If bulldozed, taxpayers will be on the hook to reimburse the banks for their losses. In either case, the common man will suffer while politicians and bankers will do well.]

Libya: NATO military forces destroyed the country’s water supply that serves 70% of the population. NATO then destroyed the water-pipe factory so the system cannot be repaired. [Many are calling this a war crime against civilians. We agree.]

UK: Scientists have secretly created over 150 human/animal hybrids over the last 3 years, justifying the experiments by claiming they are trying to find cures for disease. [We believe that is a cover story for the real goal, which is the creation of a human sub-species to serve as docile workers and servants. We also believe this is highly unethical if not insane.] DailyMail 2011 Jul 25 (Cached)

US: Audit of the Federal Reserve shows  $16 trillion transferred to American and foreign banks and corporations, much more than previously suspected. This was not authorized by Congress. As long as collectivists are in control, it will continue until the nation is destroyed. Business Insider Jul 25 (Cached)

US: Last week, we reported that Congressman Boswell, a Democrat from Iowa, fought off a robber in his home while his grandson retrieved a shotgun and threatened the intruder with it. We since have learned that Boswell is an ardent gun-control advocate and has voted consistently to limit the ability of Americans to defend themselves with firearms. [Clearly, there is a double standard here. The word hypocrisy comes to mind.]

‘Genetic Armageddon’ presented by Alex Jones reveals grotesque genetic engineering experiments that reduce fertility, increase cancer, blend humans with animals, and are aimed at creating new sub-human species. You MUST become aware of these facts. The survival of the human race is hanging in the balance. YouTube 2011 Jul 27

The Norway massacre has earmarks of a psy-ops event: Anders Breivik is reported to be a “lone gunman” but the planning, precision, and physical maneuvers required for the attack are unrealistic for one man. Eyewitnesses say there were multiple shooters. In court, when Breivik began to speak of assistance from others, the court immediately silenced him and took him from the courtroom. [Note that he is labeled a “political extremist.” The implication is that all dissenters probably are just like him and should be locked up before they can do harm. Clever!] 21st Century Wire 2011 Jul 26 (Cached)

Nuclear physicist Arnie Gunderson gives an update on Fukushima. Radiation is decreasing but will continue to be dangerously high for several generations. Black rain (radioactive fallout) is the likely explanation for contaminated beef. This is a highly informative report.  Fairwinds 2011 Jul 19

Father Murphy walks into a pub in Donegal and asks the first man he meets, ‘Do you want to go to heaven?’ The man said, ‘I do, Father.’ The priest said, ‘Then stand over there against the wall.’

Then the priest asked the second man, ‘Do you want to go to heaven?’ ‘Certainly, Father,’ the man replied. ‘Then stand over there against the wall,’ said the priest.

Then Father Murphy walked up to O’Toole and asked, ‘Do you want to go to heaven?’ O’Toole said, ‘No, I don’t Father.’ The priest said, ‘I don’t believe this. You mean to tell me that when you die you don’t want to go to heaven?’

O’Toole said, ‘Oh, when I die , yes. I thought you were getting a group together to go right now.’
