Look around. The evidence of a withering economy is everywhere. In “good times” consumers shun the canned meat aisle altogether, but no more. Today, Spam sales are soaring; grocery stores can’t keep it on the shelves. Everyone is looking for cheaper ways to feed their families. The Labor Dept. assures us that core-inflation is only 4 per cent, but everybody knows it’s load of malarkey. Food prices are going through the roof. White bread is up 13 percent, bacon is up 7 percent and peanut butter is up 9 percent. Inflation is rampant and there’s no end in sight. The dollar is closing in on the peso and working people are struggling just to get by. The bottom line is that more and more people in “the richest country on earth” are now surviving on processed pig-meat. That says it all. Read the rest of this entry »

The Great Oil Swindle
Posted by seumasach on June 1, 2008
How much did the Fed really know?
By Mike Whitney
30/05/08 “ICH” — – The Commodity Futures and Trading Commission (CFTC) is investigating trading in oil futures to determine whether the surge in prices to record levels is the result of manipulation or fraud. They might want to take a look at wheat, rice and corn futures while they’re at it. The whole thing is a hoax cooked up by the investment banks and hedge funds who are trying to dig their way out of the trillion dollar mortgage-backed securities (MBS) mess that they created by turning garbage loans into securities. That scam blew up in their face last August and left them scrounging for handouts from the Federal Reserve. Now the billions of dollars they’re getting from the Fed is being diverted into commodities which is destabilizing the world economy; driving gas prices to the moon and triggering food riots across the planet.

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

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.

| The 2008 winter was the coldest in 40 years for the upper Midwest, Plains states and most of Canada.

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 »
