Revoilà l’Iranienne Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani et…qui donc ?

26th December, 2011
Il y a moins de deux semaines environ, Amina bint Abdul Halim Ben Salem Nasser, une Saoudienne de 60 ans, a été exécutée dans la province du Jawf (nord du pays) pour avoir “pratiqué la sorcellerie”, a indiqué le ministère de l’Intérieur saoudien dans un communiqué diffusé par la SPA, l’agence de presse officielle du royaume. Elle a été accusée par la police religieuse de tromper des gens en prétendant pouvoir les guérir de leurs maladies contre de l’argent. Elle aurait ainsi facturé ses services jusqu’à 800 $ par session. Condamnée à la mort par décapitation, une peine exécutée, nous n’avons pas entendu nos donneurs de leçons. Elle n’a tué pourtant personne. Mais voilà le retour de la peine de mort par lapidation, que dis-je, par pendaison de Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani qui revient sur le devant de la scène. Ambiance.

Hormones Department, Medical Research Division, National Research Centre, Cairo, Egypt
Abstract
Objectives
This study is concerned with assessing the role of exposure to radio frequency radiation (RFR) emitted either from mobiles or base stations and its relations with human’s hormone profiles.
Design and methods
All volunteers’ samples were collected for hormonal analysis.
Results
This study showed significant decrease in volunteers’ ACTH, cortisol, thyroid hormones, prolactin for young females, and testosterone levels.
Conclusion
The present study revealed that high RFR effects on pituitary–adrenal axis.
Highlights
► This study is concerned with assessing the role of long-term exposure to high radio frequency radiation emitted either from mobile phones or from base stations and its relations with human’s hormone profiles. ► All volunteers are followed for 6 years and blood samples were collected regularly every 3 years for time intervals of 1 year, 3 years and 6 years for hormonal analysis and the blood samples were taken at 8.0 a.m. ► This study showed reduction in volunteers’ plasma ACTH, serum cortisol levels. Also, they showed decrease in the release of the thyroid hormones especially T3. In addition, each of their serum prolactin in young females (14–22 years), and testosterone levels significantly dropped due to long-term exposure to radio frequency radiation. Conversely, serum prolactin levels for adult females (25–60 years) significantly rose with increasing exposure time. ► In conclusion, the present study revealed that high radio frequency radiation effects on pituitary–adrenal axis represented in the reduction of ACTH, cortisol, thyroid hormones, prolactin in young females, and testosterone levels.

Falklands flag ban ‘Could hit British relations across South America’
Posted by seumasach on December 24, 2011
After alienating Europe through our attempted sabotage of the Eurozone, the talk was that we had allies and partners elsewhere. The reality is rather different: we are making enemies everywhere. We are clashing head-on with the new multipolarity. Failure to recognise this new reality, the product of the failed Anglo-American hegemonic project, will have disastrous consequences for Britain.
21st December, 2011
The embargo on Falkland Islands ships by South American countries could lead to a deterioration in relations between the UK and many emerging economies.

Libye – Nouvel échec du CNT face aux tribus et aux milices
Posted by seumasach on December 23, 2011
23rd December, 2011
Arrivé très tôt, aux aurores, hier matin en catimini à Tripoli, le président du CNTMoustapha Abdeljelil avait convié hors médias, tous les chefs de tribus et les chefs de gangs ou milices. Une visite secrète qui a commencé vers 5h du matin dès sa descente sur le tarmac de l’aéroport militaire de la capitale libyenne. Considérant que de violents combats se sont poursuivis avec violence entre les rebelles de Zenten et les milices qui contrôlaient encore Tripoli à l’aéroport international, Moustapha Abdeljelil ne pouvait faire autrement.

Free Syrian Army commanded by military governor of Tripoli

In the wake of the “Arab Spring” and NATO interventions, both official and secret, Qatar seeks to impose Islamist leaders wherever possible. This strategy has led it not only to fund the Muslim Brotherhood and to hand Al-Jazeera over to them, but also to support Al Qaeda mercenaries, who will henceforth oversee the Free Syrian Army. However, this new scenario raises serious concerns in Israel and among the supporters of the “clash of civilizations.”
