Another man, Nasser, in his early twenties with a wispy henna-speckled beard, implored our reporter to "unlearn" the brand of Islam that he had been taught as a child and to adopt a new approach.
It was important to be unemployed, Nasser said, as taking a job would contribute to the kuffar system. He said he was receiving a jobseeker's allowance and justified this by saying the prophet Muhammad also lived off the state and attacked it at the same time. "All money belongs to Allah anyway," he said.
...
He told the audience that Islam was a religion of violence and that Muhammad was the "prophet of slaughter, not peace". He said Muslims must not be defeatist as "even now the brothers in Iraq are sending British, American and Iraqi colluders back in body bags".

WHY CAN'T FITZGERALD BE FIRED AS SPECIAL COUNSEL?
First, let me make it clear that Patrick Fitzgerald, while wearing the hat of US Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, can indeed be fired or replaced by President Bush. There's no doubt about that.
But Fitzgerald wears a different hat pertaining to Treasongate where he is the "Special Counsel" "Acting" and vested with the "full authority" of the "US Attorney General" to prosecute Treasongate. And as such, nobody in the Department of Justice can touch him.
Not only was it Comey's intention to prepare Fitzgerald for the coming assault on his legally mandated plenary authority by vesting him with complete autonomous rule, but the GAO, through their approval of "permanent indefinite appropriations" to perpetually fund Fitzgerald's office, at the request of the Justice Department, has made a strong legal argument, in Decision B-302582, that Fitzgerald has all of the protections and authority normally granted to an independent prosecutor under the expired independent counsel law.

Preliminary data from the first 115 of the initial tests on 450 healthy adults showed an immune response that scientists believe is strong enough to protect against the avian influenza that's spreading among birds in Asia and Russia. Fauci said he expects analysis of data from the other 300 tests will show similar results.

Frozen land
In a land where not just the rivers but also the sea freezes over, it is impossible not to be aware of the seasons.
Barrow whaling captain Percy Nusunginya has particular reason to be alert to change. Each autumn and spring his crew ventures out on the ice to fish at air holes. He says that working out on the Arctic Sea has become very dangerous.
"Nowadays ice conditions are thinner than in the 1970s and 80s. The ice used to be 20 to 30 feet thick but now it is more like 10 feet thick. But what can we do? Sometimes I feel sad but we just have to go with what we have got.
"Up here in the Arctic we are definitely warming up, the polar pack ice has all but gone."

Volcker, the former Federal Reserve chairman, said that Mr. Sevan had accumulated just under $150,000 in his New York accounts from exploiting the program and that Alexander V.

While that bribe offer was unsuccessful, the committee said it turned up "persuasive evidence" that Mr. Yakovlev had siphoned as much as $1.3 million in payments from contractors in other United Nations programs and had deposited it in an offshore account.

(Berntsen would not divulge the book's specifics, saying he's awaiting CIA clearance.) That backs up other recent accounts, including that of military author Sean Naylor, who calls Tora Bora a "strategic disaster" because the Pentagon refused to deploy a cordon of conventional forces to cut off escaping Qaeda and Taliban members. Maj. Todd Vician, a Defense Department spokesman, says the problem at Tora Bora "was not necessarily just the number of troops.

Now this is either because they consider the article beneath notice, or because they take it so seriously they don't want to call attention to it.
I tend towards the second explanation. This was no mere op-ed piece. MIT's security studies group will have close connections with the U.S. State and Defence Departments, and it's altogether probable that they approved the article. So it's a missive just below the diplomatic level.
Furthermore, one region of the country most vulnerable to American economic reprisals would be western Canada, particularly Alberta. But we're not the only ones. Ontario and Quebec are vulnerable too. Sapolsky points out, for example, that "billions" of dollars in U.S. defence spending go to Canada. About two thirds of the U.S. Army's latest combat troop carriers are made in this country.

Forget the Fantastic Four. As I write, the forces of Good (the White Hats) and Evil (the Black Hats) are fighting for control of the Internet as we know it. At stake is the exploitation of flaws affecting the once-invincible Cisco router hardware, which currently carries most of the Internet's traffic on a daily basis. Once a working exploit for the Cisco IOS Shellcode is available on the Internet, it'll be only a matter of days before someone finds a way to craft it into a network worm. And then it's going to be a rough ride for everyone who uses the Internet. Unless, of course, the forces of Good prevail.
Hyperbole? Perhaps, but a credible threat to the infrastructure of the Internet does exist. All indications suggest that the clock is ticking toward some kind of showdown between criminal hackers and the good guys. Unfortunately, the bad guys have a head start.

She has asked many questions: Why is Halliburton — a giant Texas firm that holds more than 50 percent of all rebuilding efforts in Iraq — getting billions in contracts without competitive bidding? Do the durations of those contracts make sense? Have there been violations of federal laws regulating how the government can spend its money?
Halliburton denies any wrongdoing. "These false allegations have been recycled in the media ad nauseam," the company said in response to a list of e-mailed questions from The Associated Press.

NEW YORK - It's an odd day when bankers go begging for assets.
But several deals in recent weeks highlight their conundrum: Booming deposit growth has outstripped loan demand, forcing bankers to scratch for assets that can help relieve some of the pressure from narrowing profit margins.
Much as been said about the shrinking gap between short- and long-term interest rates--what the banks call "the yield curve"--and that is partly to blame for the struggle to squeeze profits from lending. Intense competition for corporate and industrial loan business is another problem as banks cut deals and lower underwriting standards to win loan assignments.
"Big banks need asset generators, and corporate loans are just not profitable," says David Hendler, an analyst at CreditSights. "Consumer loans are needed."
What's so magical about consumer loans? They are short term, and their interest rates move quickly when the Fed takes action. Credit cards, home equity and auto loans have higher rates that create wider spreads to the deposits banks use to fund them.

The first eyewitness to report this was Bruce Lait, a victim of the Aldgate Station bombing.
He told the Cambridge Evening News,
"The policeman said 'mind that hole, that's where the bomb was'. The metal was pushed upwards as if the bomb was underneath the train. They seem to think the bomb was left in a bag, but I don't remember anybody being where the bomb was, or any bag."
Now another credible source, Guardian journalist Mark Honigsbaum, talked to eyewitnesses at the Edgware Road bombing, who essentially described the same thing.
Eyewitnesses told Honigsbaum that "tiles, the covers on the floor of the train, suddenly flew up, raised up."

Now, let's look at devil in the details of this CDC cover-up of mercury damage and how it impacts the autism community. This past week, there was a Power of Truth rally in the District of Criminals, I mean, Washington , D.C. The blog and some of the photos from it can be seen here and here. I got about halfway through the photos and I broke down. When I saw many of the faces of the parents and the children, it sort of reminded me of the civilian casualties brought on by any war. To an outsider, these faces may be no different than anyone that you would pass by on the street.

Starting Sept. 1, Dallas will begin regulating such mobile feedings, setting up a clash between a city policy and those who want to feed the poor.
Under a new ordinance, charities, churches and individuals will be allowed to serve food only at approved locations. Violations will be punishable by fines of $200 to $2,000.
Ignoring the rules
Some, including Hunger Busters, say they plan to ignore the new rules.
"Maybe we'll get arrested for getting tickets and not doing what they want us to do and see what the public says about that," said Romano, founder of several national restaurant chains, including Romano's Macaroni Grill, Cozymel's and Fuddruckers. "It's all a matter of public opinion."

There's a global pipeline with a precious commodity. Not oil -- people.
Hundreds of thousands of them, sold for somebody else's profit.
What it is, really, is slavery. Men, women and children forced or tricked into hard labor or the sex trades. This concept, this crime, has been around forever. A growing problem in some parts of the world, there's an increasing focus on combatting it, abroad and locally.
The Chicago Police Department's vice unit -- which recently arrested a Thai woman working here as a prostitute and wiring money back to her trafficker -- soon will have two people dedicated to investigating trafficking. They'll be scouring the Internet, periodicals and the streets, Police Cmdr. David Sobczyk said.
The unit also will be coordinating with social service agencies to help victims -- something a new statewide coalition also is focusing on, along with recent Illinois legislation.
In 2000, federal legislation further criminalized trafficking, creating new penalties, funding for victims and a new immigrant status -- T-Visas -- that allow victims a chance to live here permanently.
Since then, the United States has dedicated at least $295 million to address the problem in 86 countries, according to the U.S. State Department.

A review of medical literature indicates that the characteristics of autism and of mercury poisoning (HgP) are strikingly similar. Traits defining or associated with both disorders are summarized in Table A immediately following the Table of Contents and are discussed and cited in the body of this document. The parallels between the two diseases are so thorough as to suggest, based on total Hg injected into U.S. children, that many cases of autism are a form of mercury poisoning

Mercury poisoning can be difficult to diagnose and is often interpreted by clinicians as a psychiatric disorder, especially if exposure is not suspected (Diner and Brenner, 1998; Frackelton and Christensen, 1998). The difficulty in diagnosis derives primarily from two notable characteristics of this heavy metal. First, there can be a long latent period between time of exposure and onset of overt symptoms, so that the connection between the two events is often overlooked. The latency period is discussed in more detail below. Second, the diverse manifestations of the disease make it difficult for the clinician to find a precise match of his particular patient's symptoms with those described in other case reports (Adams et al, 1983, Kark et al, 1971; Florentine and Sanfilippo, 1991; Matheson et al, 1980; Frackelton and Christensen, 1998; Warkany & Hubbard, 1953)

August 3, 2005, Washington, DC -- New documents discovered in a landmark human rights suit against oil giant Chevron Corp. reveal that Chevron's Nigerian subsidiary paid Nigerian soldiers who attacked the Nigerian villages of Opia and Ikenyan, killing several people and burning the villages to the ground. The new evidence comes as Chevron moves to take over Unocal Corp., whose Yadana pipeline project in Burma has been the subject of similar human rights lawsuits.
"This evidence proves Chevron's responsibility for these brutal human rights abuses," said Marco Simons, legal director for EarthRights International, which is part of a team of lawyers representing the villagers in their federal lawsuit against Chevron.
...
"We now have evidence from Chevron's own records that in response to claims for compensation for environmental damage, Chevron paid soldiers to attack and destroy two villages, provided the helicopter and boats used and had its own security personnel participate," added Cindy Cohn of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, co-counsel on the case.

Traits defining or associated with both disorders are summarized in Table A immediately following the Table of Contents and are discussed and cited in the body of this document. The parallels between the two diseases are so thorough as to suggest, based on total Hg injected into U.S. children, that many cases of autism are a form of mercury poisoning

IRAQI security forces, set up by American and British troops, torture detainees by pulling out their fingernails, burning them with hot irons or giving them electric shocks, Iraqi officials say. Cases have also been recorded of bound prisoners being beaten to death by police.
In their haste to put police on the streets to counter the brutal insurgency, Iraqi and US authorities have enlisted men trained under Saddam Hussein’s regime and versed in torture and abuse, the officials told The Times. They said that recruits were also being drawn from the ranks of outlawed Shia militia

Mercury poisoning can be difficult to diagnose and is often interpreted by clinicians as a psychiatric disorder, especially if exposure is not suspected (Diner and Brenner, 1998; Frackelton and Christensen, 1998). The difficulty in diagnosis derives primarily from two notable characteristics of this heavy metal. First, there can be a long latent period between time of exposure and onset of overt symptoms, so that the connection between the two events is often overlooked. The latency period is discussed in more detail below. Second, the diverse manifestations of the disease make it difficult for the clinician to find a precise match of his particular patient's symptoms with those described in other case reports (Adams et al, 1983, Kark et al, 1971; Florentine and Sanfilippo, 1991; Matheson et al, 1980; Frackelton and Christensen, 1998; Warkany & Hubbard, 1953)

August 3, 2005, Washington, DC -- New documents discovered in a landmark human rights suit against oil giant Chevron Corp. reveal that Chevron's Nigerian subsidiary paid Nigerian soldiers who attacked the Nigerian villages of Opia and Ikenyan, killing several people and burning the villages to the ground. The new evidence comes as Chevron moves to take over Unocal Corp., whose Yadana pipeline project in Burma has been the subject of similar human rights lawsuits.
"This evidence proves Chevron's responsibility for these brutal human rights abuses," said Marco Simons, legal director for EarthRights International, which is part of a team of lawyers representing the villagers in their federal lawsuit against Chevron.

"We now have evidence from Chevron's own records that in response to claims for compensation for environmental damage, Chevron paid soldiers to attack and destroy two villages, provided the helicopter and boats used and had its own security personnel participate," added Cindy Cohn of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, co-counsel on the case.
