Chomsky Warns Of Risk Of Fascism In America
Noam Chomsky, the leading leftwing intellectual, warned last week that fascism may be coming to the United States.
“I’m just old enough to have heard a number of Hitler’s speeches on the radio,” he said, “and I have a memory of the texture and the tone of the cheering mobs, and I have the dread sense of the dark clouds of fascism gathering” here at home.
“The level of anger and fear is like nothing I can compare in my lifetime,” he said.

The Transnational Homeland Security State and the Decline of Democracy
As the western world is thrown into debt bondage and the harsh reality of the draconian economic ‘reforms’ to follow, a social collapse seems increasingly inevitable. We will soon witness the collapse of western ‘civilization’. The middle classes of the west will dissolve into the lower labour class. The wealthy class, already nearly at par with the middle class in terms of total consumption, will become the only consuming class.

Climategate: CRU whiter than – er – whitewash, as world laughs at AGW scam apologists
Well, we all knew it would be a second whitewash of CRU and its climate alarmist pseudo-data; but even the most hard-headed sceptics among us probably thought that Lord Oxburgh’s inquiry would be a tad more sophisticated in its brushwork, that it would make some effort to persuade rather than patronise, that its bland conclusions would be a little less blatant and in-your-face.

IMF chief warns: Global Banks Setting Up New Bigger Collapse
USAToday reports IMF’s managing director, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, warning investors that global banks are still clueless. They “remain saddled with too many toxic securities and have not yet shown an understanding of the need to embrace far-reaching operational reforms … Bad loans must be disposed of before banks can play their customary role in financing economic growth.” So what’s new? Sounds like they’re trapped, as always, in the same old mindset of blind greed and hyper-optimism. The IMF boss, a French economist, did made specific comments that suggest our “too-political-to-fail” banks are setting the world up for another, more lethal meltdown … and possibly the dreaded “Great Depression 2″ that we recently dodged

War of words over election debate
A war of words erupted over the rules for the historic first televised leaders' debate just hours before the three contenders were due to step out in front of the cameras.
Robert Green Rearrested!
Robert Green, who has been working so hard to exposed the case of Hollie Greig, has been rearrested and taken to Stonehaven Sherrif’s Court. This has been confirmed by Seargent Adam Bulger of Warrington Police, who refused to address my concerns over Robert’s safety, despite my pointing out that he has gone back to the very courts that he has made allegations about.
We seem to have a situation that people simply get arrested and no-one is told – just like the Gestapo.
In case you would like to phone Warrington police to ask about Robert’s welfare, the number you need to call is 0845 458 0000.
And in case you would like to also give Grampian police a call, their number is 0845 600 5700.
Can you also get on to your MP, who, I’m sure, would be willing to help under present circumstances, no?
When you call either of these numbers, please remember to remain calm and polite. Huge public concern needs to be expressed to Warrington, who assisted in Robert’s arrest, and on Grampian. Could you please make sure you highlight your concerns for his safety because he has been working to expose paedophiles.
We will update this page as events progress.
Crime Prediction Software Is Here and It's a Very Bad Idea
There are no naked pre-cogs inside glowing jacuzzis yet, but the Florida State Department of Juvenile Justice will use analysis software to predict crime by young delinquents, putting potential offenders under specific prevention and education programs. Goodbye, human rights!
They will use this software on juvenile delinquents, using a series of variables to determine the potential for these people to commit another crime. Depending on this probability, they will put them under specific re-education programs. Deepak Advani—vice president of predictive analytics at IBM—says the system gives "reliable projections" so governments can take "action in real time" to "prevent criminal activities?"

The new climate change defence: 'Yes, it's getting colder, but it's not as cold as it would be without global warming'
There’s a wonderful little nugget in today’s Telegraph, where Professor Mike Lockwood, a space physicist at Reading University, predicts that we’re about to go through the coldest winters for 300 years. But, he says, they’d be even colder if it weren’t for global warming. So the climate changers get to have their cake and eat it.

'Walnuts Are Illegal Drugs'!... Say FDA
The FDA has determined that walnuts sold by Diamond Foods cannot be legally marketed because the walnuts “are not generally recognized as safe and effective” for the medical conditions referenced on Diamond Foods’ website...
According to the FDA, these walnuts are now classified as “drugs” and the “unauthorized health claims” cause them to become “misbranded,” thus subjecting them to government “seizure or injunction.”
Killing You with Drugs: Legally
In 2008, the FDA required all anticonvulsant drugs to have a warning label that disclosed a two-fold increased risk of suicide. However, warning labels are rarely effective. They simply enable drug companies to continue to sell what many experts feel to be dangerous drugs, while having the safeguard of a disclaimer.
Greece Emergency Debt Bailout Signals New Stage in Global Economic Crisis
Stefan Steinberg writes: The economic crisis precipitated by the crash of Lehman Brothers in 2008 is entering a new stage, as European states hastily organise their first-ever bailout of a member of the European Union. The frantic efforts at the weekend to cobble together a European rescue package for Greece in collaboration with the International Monetary Fund came after intense pressure from rating agencies and intensified speculation by traders betting that the Greek government would default on its debt obligations.

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.

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".
Here's Why The Euro Is Still In Trouble, And Greece Is Still Likely To Default
In the short run, it now seems as if the euro has been saved. Greece has received a massive infusion from the EU, its bonds are selling once again, the birds are singing and all is right with the world.
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.

Remember, how the Illuminati pre-condition the public to accept and acknowledge certain things/events before they occur.

The results have been published in the scientific journal, Geophysical Research Letters.

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.

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'.

WHO Appoints H1N1 Cover-Up Committee
Reports that the WHO is appointing an ‘independent’ committee to investigate its own conduct in the H1N1 panic of 2009 has been tempered by the fact that one of the committee’s members, John Mackenzie, was in fact one of the advisors who urged the WHO to declare a pandemic in the first place. He also has ties to vaccine manufacturers, making him part of the very charge being investigated: that the WHO relied on advisors with a financial interest in declaring a pandemic regardless of the facts on the ground

You really have to laugh just a little.
A FORGETFUL married couple made the mother of all mistakes when they went on a day trip to France - but left their elderly relative in their car in Dover.

And we all take a Mac - 10 machine pistol to a party don't we?

Police shooting inquest opens
A WOMAN killed by armed police wrote in her journal just days before she met her tragic end that she had a story in her head which ended with her being shot.
The long-awaited inquest into the death of Sevenoaks' woman Ann Sanderson began in Gravesend with jurors being shown CCTV footage of the moments leading up to the 37-year-old's death.
Known as 'Tosh', Ms Sanderson was seen brandishing what was believed to be a handgun in the town centre in the early hours of June 11, 2007.
She pointed the gun at CCTV cameras several times, set fire to one industrial bin and attempted to set light to another.
At around 2.40am Ms Sanderson was cornered in the car park behind M&CO by armed police officers.
After a brief standoff she was shot and died from a single gunshot to the chest.
Her inquest is set to continue today.

Mephedrone banned this week
The party drug mephedrone will become illegal from Friday, the Home Office said.
Following the completion of the formal parliamentary process today, the so-called legal high will be classified as a Class B drug with effect from April 16.
From that date anyone found in possession of mephedrone could face five years in prison. The maximum sentence for dealing in the drug will be 14 years.
The move to ban mephedrone, which is sold over the internet as plant food, comes despite the resignation of two Government drugs advisers over the issue.
Earlier this month, Eric Carlin followed Dr Polly Taylor in stepping down from the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (ACMD).
In a letter of resignation, Mr Carlin said the decision to ban the drug was made despite there being "little or no discussion about how our recommendation to classify this drug would be likely to impact on young people's behaviour."
He added: "Our decision was unduly based on media and political pressure."
Calls for mephedrone to be made illegal came as a series of reports linked it to deaths across England and Scotland.

Judge in charge of family courts criticises ‘arrogant social workers’
Social workers have been criticised as “arrogant and enthusiastic removers of children from their parents” by the judge who takes charge of the family courts today.
Lord Justice Wall said that the determination of some social workers to place children in an “unsatisfactory care system” away from their families was “quite shocking”.
In a separate case, on which Sir Nicholas Wall also sat, Lord Justice Aikens described the actions of social workers in Devon as “more like Stalin’s Russia or Mao’s China than the West of England”.

And Now It's Officially Spain's Turn To Take The Stage
Now that Greece is arguably an old story (though we've been fooled too many time to be certain of that), it's Spain's turn to take the stage.
In the last 24 hours, Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero has come out and promised to enforce strict austerity measures to deal with the country's budget deficit that's 11.3% of GDP, according to RTTnews.
Whether they can do it, and convince the bond market that they can make it stick is another story.
And unlike Greece, Spain is too big to bail.

Global Banking System Still Quietly Bankrupt
Over the past 12 years or so, I've been repeatedly astonished at the tendency of investors to do things that they should have known to avoid simply with the use of a calculator and basic arithmetic. We've used numerous metrics during this period to show that the estimation of long-term market returns (7-10 years and beyond) doesn't require calculus or statistics, but fairly direct methods to normalize earnings, plus a bit of arithmetic.
Gold Protection as U.S. Drifts From Freedom to Facism
The parallels between present times and those during the rise and fall of the Third Reich are becoming increasingly startling, with Obamacare easily being the most profound power grab in the history of America. Healthcare is almost 20% of US GDP, and now, with this one Bill that the electorate doesn’t even want, the bureaucracy has accomplished the coupe de grass – it’s effectively taken almost complete administrative control of the US economy – increasing deterioration From Freedom To Fascism. People should of course be deathly afraid of all this, as out of control episodes such as this always end badly.
