Madrid bombings: The destruction of evidence

Posted by seumasach on May 28, 2008

 

Here we see the pattern familiar to us from the 9/11 attacks; the crime scene was immediately destroyed and crucial evidence lost.

The End Of Free Trade: Revolt Begins Against British Policy

Posted by seumasach on May 27, 2008

THE END OF FREE TRADE: REVOLT BEGINS AGAINST BRITISH POLICY(LAROUCHEPAC)

by Helga Zepp-LaRouche

Not a moment too soon, a group of seven former European heads of state, five former finance ministers, and two former presidents of the European Commission, including former EU Commission head Jacques Delors, former French Prime Minister Michel Rocard, and former German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt, have gone public with an open letter to the EU Presidency and the EU Commission. They warn that the systemic collapse of the global financial system–a collapse which had been foreseen by “farsighted individuals”–brings with it the threat of unprecedented poverty, the proliferation of “failed states,” migration of entire populations, and further military conflicts. The financial world, they argue, has accumulated a massive amount of “fictitious capital” (!), with very little improvement for humanity. Among the immediate countermeasures they propose, is creation of a European Crisis Committee, and the convening of a world financial conference to “reconsider” the current international system and the globalized world order.

MMR: The debate that won’t go away

Posted by seumasach on May 27, 2008

“The Department of Health is keen to stress that no children’s vaccine in this country has contained thiomersal for the past four years, and when it was formerly used in childhood vaccines it was at levels that were lower than those in the US.”

This statement requires verification from some reliable independent source.-Ed.

LEADER-TELEGRAM

The 2008 winter was the coldest in 40 years for the upper Midwest, Plains states and most of Canada. Minnesota newspapers report that this year’s opening of the locks to Mississippi barge traffic, delayed by three weeks, was the latest since the modern waterway opened in 1940.

Mass death of bees in Germany:Pesticide approvals suspended

Posted by seumasach on May 26, 2008

There is an obvious ommission in this article: it fails to point out that the ban on these pesticicdes in France has not stopped the mass death of bees.

 
The cause of mass bee deaths has been established: pesticide products from chemical companies Bayer and Syngenta. They have been removed from sale in Germany. We should now pressure Bayer and regulators to remove them from sale elsewhere… Read the rest of this entry »

Varroa Mite or Electromagnetic Fields? New Research into the Death of Bees

Posted by seumasach on May 25, 2008

 

An important report whose translation we hope will soon be made public. However, Warnke is mistaken in thinking that  CCD first appeared only two or three years ago

 

Letter to Beekeepers and Beekeeper Associations (HESE PROJECT)

 

Dear Board Members and Directors of Beekeeper Associations, 

 

Dear Beekeepers! 

 

The death of bees has for some time concerned beekeepers, the media, but also worried 

scientists who have affiliated themselves with our Kompetenz initiative for the protection 

of man, environment and democracy (www.kompetenzinitiative.de). 

 

The disturbing phenomenon is presently predominantly attributed to the Varroa mite in 

newspapers and periodicals. It remains uncontested that there are such connections. Yet 

plausible arguments have been put forward explaining that the mite attack also occurs as 

a result of previous damage to the bees’ immune system due to electromagnetic fields.  Read the rest of this entry »

Maison-Blanche 2008 : un show anti-démocratique
 
par Sandro Cruz(VOLTAIRENET)
L’élection du président aux États-Unis, tous les quatre ans, est l’occasion d’un grand spectacle médiatique qui tient le monde en haleine. Ce système électoral fort complexe est contrôlé par l’oligarchie et donne l’illusion d’une souveraineté populaire contre laquelle il a été conçu. Thierry Meyssan répond à nos questions sur le fonctionnement méconnu de la « démocratie » made in USA. Read the rest of this entry »

Iceland Facing Meltdown as the Credit Crunch Sinks its Currency

Posted by seumasach on May 23, 2008

 

The Euro is also the choice facing the Brits- although unlike the Icelanders the oligarchy  has made sure no one is discussing this issue or even making reference to the sinking pound. Who will break ranks as inflation devours us?
May 22, 2008 
Keith Fitz-Gerald(MARKET ORACLE)

A special report, jointly developed by U.K. affiliate MoneyWeek Magazine and our experts here at Money Morning, explores the pros and cons of Iceland’s potential EU membership.
