These are the people that matter now. Forget the Politicians.
A soldier rescued under enemy fire in Afghanistan has hailed his Military Cross-winning colleague as a lifesaver.
Captain Andy Bell, 26, paid tribute to the bravery of his teenage comrade after he dodged the bullets to stop the bleeding from two machine gun shots to his legs.
Private Alex Kennedy, 19, from Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, was awarded one of the UK's highest wartime honours for his heroics during the Helmand province firefight on June 8 last year.
Gordon Brown told Labour activists they had 22 days to persuade voters their party was "the greatest force for fairness" in Britain.
At a small campaign rally in Leeds, the Prime Minister sought to energise his party's rank-and-file as the polls showed the Tories' lead over Labour narrowing to as little as three points.
Pharmacists are selling more drugs over the counter, but is your chemist putting your life at risk? The glossy posters are lining the pharmacy windows, the witty TV advertising campaign is in full swing and, if all goes to plan, in the weeks and months to come thousands of middle-aged men will be popping along to their pharmacist to buy Flomax MR, an over-the-counter relief for their lower urinary tract problems - a weak bladder to you and me. But this is no government-backed health campaign aiming to reach a segment of the population which is notoriously slow at asking for medical help. This £5 million marketing campaign is the brainchild of a pharmaceutical company trying to sell their drug.
The alarm that can save diabetics' lives (so why is the NHS rationing them?) Angela Wise was saved by the bell after a long country walk sent her into a diabetic coma. She is one of the first to use a new sensor-controlled insulin pump that detects dangerously low levels of blood sugar and sets off a deafening alarm.
Epic Corruption and the Whistle-blower
The U.S. Supreme Court will be holding a private conference hearing on Friday, April 23rd 2010, to determine whether to hold a full court hearing on corruption charges within the Los Angeles County government for illegally imprisoning attorney Richard Fine. A rally to acknowledge the U.S. Supreme Court hearing will be held at the L.A. Superior Court building at 8 am Tuesday April 20th, by supporters of Richard Fine’s release from illegal imprisonment. Mainstream media has avoided any mention of this epic corruption scandal, despite its significance, and now it is on its way to the the Supreme Court
Obama Threatens Iran With 'All Options' Again
"The continued presence of all options on the table"; this is the disappointing message which a Nobel Peace Prize laureate dispatches internationally. In his latest interview with CBS news, American President Barack Obama refused to rule out the possibility of a military strike against Iran by harking back to the famous catchphrase of former U.S. President George W. Bush who once devised, regarding Iran's nuclear program, the popular sentence of "all options are on the table".
But Wolfgang Münchau makes a persuasive case that in the long run, a Greek default remains very likely. The structural adjustments required to get its budgets back into reasonable balance are simply massive (hence the demonstrations that keep turning into near-riots). That is going to require considerable austerity from the population, not to mention unemployment.
But the truth is that the vast majority of Americans have no idea just how corrupt the U.S. financial system has become.
Why All the Talk About Nuclear Attacks in U.S. Cities All of a Sudden??
Just in this week alone, CNN and several other main stream media outlets have been talking or writing about the possibilities of a nuclear attack by terrorists. Just today in the following two articles, one from USA Today and the other from the Washington Times, reflect not only the media's sudden obsession with this topic, but the White House as well.
Remember, how the Illuminati pre-condition the public to accept and acknowledge certain things/events before they occur.
Obama Warns World Leaders Global Economic Crash Cant Be Stopped
According to these grim reports, Obama had called this meeting of World leaders under the guise of promoting his Global nuclear agenda but was, instead, intent on warning everyone present that after his Nation had “nothing left to give” after their unprecedented (and kept secret from the American people) nearly $422 bailout of the European Union last week.Initial reports prepared for Prime Minister Putin on US President Barack Obama’s extraordinary meeting with World leaders on the Global economic situation states that the Americans are now warning that a complete crash of the Global banking system is “all but inevitable” and “can’t be stopped”

Designer baby with 'three parents' and no hereditary diseases ready in three years
Dozens of human embryos with three parents have been created by British scientists, ushering in an era of designer babies.
The embryos - which effectively have two mothers and one father - have been genetically engineered to be free from incurable muscle, brain, heart and digestive illnesses, some of which kill within hours of being born.
Police need more powerful weapons to combat 'Mumbai-style terror attacks' says police chief
Terror: Scotland Yard assistant commissioner John Yates said the officers need high-power weapons
Britain's anti-terrorism chief today said the nation's armed officers need high-powered weapons to combat Mumbai-style attacks.
Scotland Yard assistant commissioner John Yates said there was a need for an "upskilling" within police forces to tackle ever changing threats.
'Climategate' unit cleared of manipulating global warming data... but inquiry refuses to say if conclusions were correct
The research unit embroiled in the 'emailgate' row was cleared of 'deliberate scientific malpractice' today - but an independent inquiry refused to say whether the unit's conclusions on global warming were correct.
The University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit (CRU) has been under attack since hacked emails were leaked online last year, which sceptics claimed showed scientists were manipulating data to support a theory of manmade global warming
Preparing for Disaster in America
A growing number of Americans are doing everything they can to get ready if disaster strikes. Whether it's a natural disaster like an earthquake or hurricane or a conflict between the government and the American people, these guys are making sure they don't have to rely on anyone in a catastrophic situation
Gold Bull Market Warming Up, Keep Your Eyes on the Golden Prize
Gold's bull market is starting to get warmed up again. The gains ahead in Gold are going to be greater than what we have seen since the secular bull market began at the turn of the century. Gold will continue to outperform general stocks, real estate, bonds and most if not all commodities
Binmen had left a sticker on it stating they could not accept the bin as it contained food and was therefore contaminated.
Mr Sylvester, 54, said the bin contained no food except for six small pips sitting on a pizza box.
Second inquiry clears Climategate scientists
MPs clear Climategate university The Drum: Climate change reporting: balanced or biased? Related Story: Climate science alive and well, say experts Another inquiry has cleared British climate researchers of wrongdoing after their emails were hacked, leaked and held up by sceptics as evidence they had exaggerated the case for man-made global warming
IPCC sea level prediction – not scary enough
New research from several international research groups, including the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen provides independent consensus that IPCC predictions of less than a half a meter rise in sea levels is around 3 times too low. The new estimates show that the sea will rise approximately 1 meter in the next 100 years in agreement with other recent studies. The results have been published in the scientific journal, Geophysical Research Letters.
In the latest volley of the US Food and Drug Administration’s bizarre war on scientific freedom of speech, the FDA has sent a Warning Letter to the president and CEO of Diamond Foods stating that the firm’s packages of shelled walnuts are “in violation of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.”
A candidate for the UK Independence party who has already been reprimanded for posting racist remarks on a website was today forced to quit after launching another abusive tirade online, this time aimed at the Queen.

Since Gordon Brown delivered his first Budget 13 years ago, stamp duty has trebled for one in three buyers, fees have tripled and prices have increased by 185% as the market has rocketed.
Alistair Darling explains why Labour cannot rule out a rise in VAT Any last hope that Labour may freeze VAT seems to have vanished. The Labour Cabinet members arguing that the tax rate could be pegged nearer the election have lost their fight. Today Alistair Darling told me he will not deviate from yesterday’s refusal to rule out a rise. “We’re sticking to our pledge,” he said when I asked him if change in VAT policy was now off the table. “If you kick away any element [of flexibility in taxation] you get into trouble.”
The global government wants your children They are perhaps the most powerful weapons of the New World Order. Small and virtually powerless on their own, their use as a bargaining chip is almost certain to trigger the most basic instinct to protect them at any cost.
To threaten to use one is a parents worst nightmare. They are our children and the United Nations wants them.
Global warming 'science' is an unreliable construct The phrase, “scientific climate models” refers to computer constructs that should not be labeled “scientific.” They include arbitrary assumptions, and do not predict what has happened or what will happen.
liarpoliticians — 13 April 2010 — Tory (quasi-New Labour) House of Commons speaker John Bercow is starting to feel the heat in his constituency, as UKIP's Nigel Farage starts to turn up the pressure to oust Bercow, one of many who was heavily implicated in the MP's expenses scandal.
John Bercow MUST be ousted from his seat by Nigel Farage, for the sake of the claimed democracy that is left in the UK, and for the expenses scandal. It would also stir up parliament with at least one person not afraid to ask awkward questions.
VICTORY for any of the “old failed” main parties would be a disaster for Britain, the anti-European UK Independence Party said yesterday.
NHS HEALTH CHIEF'S £25K PAY RISE AN NHS manager who saw her pay package soar by £25,000 in a single year has caused outrage among patient groups and campaigners.
Abu Ghraib Torture Team Returns to Iraq The Army reserve unit that became infamous after some of its members were charged with abusing prisoners at Abu Ghraib prison six years ago is returning to Iraq.
Markets Are Showing Why Greece's 'Successful' Bond Sale Yesterday Sucked Yesterday we were perplexed by the description of Greece's 6-month and 1-year government bills sale as 'successful'. It appeared to attract a lot of demand, but yields Greece had to pay investors were extremely high for such short-term money, for example the 1-year bill sold at 4.85% which is far higher than it was just back in mid-January.

Humanitarian Disaster In Fallujah: Unprecedented Numbers of Birth Defects, Miscarriages and Cancer Cases Doctors in Fallujah are witnessing unprecedented numbers of birth defects, miscarriages and cancer cases. According to gynaecologists, paediatricians and neurologists in Fallujah the numbers of these cases have been increasing rapidly since 2005 – less than 1 year after the bombing campaign by the occupying forces in 2004
Britain's Accelerating Trend Towards High Inflation and UK Debt Default Bankruptcy Whilst politicians of all the major parties during the general election campaign continue to ignore the giant debt elephant in the room as the general public continue to prefer to be deluded into thinking that Britain can skip the debt crisis that faces the country as a consequence of Greecesk levels of annual deficits and foreign liabilities that have pushed Britain significantly along the path towards hyperinflation and bankruptcy (debt default to foreigners), as many of the trend projections concerning the looming debt mountain, banking and public sector's liability expectations made in November 2008 (Bankrupt Britain Trending Towards Hyper-Inflation?) have come to pass, against which NOTHING has been done or stated will be done to prevent ultimate national bankruptcy as warned of in November 2008
Brilliantly Exposing Climategate Over the years, I have read dozens of books by eminent scientists, climatologists and meteorologists, that exposed the lies that support the greatest fraud ever perpetrated in the modern era, “global warming.” I have always wanted to read one that anyone could understand without having sufficient knowledge of the rather complex science involved
