25.Jul.2006 https://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/news/local/15109314.htm?template=contentModules/printstory.jsp The men who attend the Bohemian Grove retreat spend two weeks performing plays, eating gourmet camp grub, listening to speakers and power-bonding at the 2,700-acre compound near the Russian River in Sonoma County. The retreat is organized by the exclusive San Francisco-based Bohemian Club. The club and event are shrouded in mystery, much like Yale University's most-famous secret society, Skull and Bones, whose members include President George W. Bush and his presidential rival Sen. John Kerry. A Nevada man who called himself ``the Phantom Patriot'' was found guilty of five felonies in recent years after he broke into the grove to stop what he thought were human sacrifices and child abuse. 25.Jul.2006 https://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/news/local/15109314.htm?template=contentModules/printstory.jsp MONTE RIO - Hundreds of protesters gathered outside an exclusive California retreat for government + business leaders Saturday to challenge the right of a ``ruling elite'' to make policy decisions without public scrutiny. The annual Bohemian Grove retreat has attracted powerful men such as Ronald Reagan, George Bush, former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, philanthropist David Rockefeller, former West German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt + former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. 25.Jul.2006 https://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/news/local/15109314.htm?template=contentModules/printstory.jsp Protesters listened to an Indian drum ensemble and speakers and planned to march to the front of the retreat before an afternoon get-together. For more than a quarter century, summer protests under the towering redwoods here have been a magnet for committed activists. Protesters say the event is quickly becoming a networking spot for leaders from the peace, environmental + immigrant rights movements. 00.000.2001 The protests peaked at about 1,000 - before attendance dropped off. Protesters say interest has picked up in the past two years as activists realized they needed to work together on the waning anti-war movement and immigrants rights. ``Because they are up there networking + getting stronger, we need to network, too,'' said Mary Moore, 71, who 00.000.1980 -since-has helped organize the event. . ``The idea is for people to get together and realize we have a common antagonist.'' 25.Jul.2006 Europe's pyramid history unveiled On 31.Oct.2005 various news agencies including AP ran a story headlined "Bosnian explorer finds 'Europe's first pyramids'".

I was in awe of his knowledge. I was reminded of him recently when I came across several molecular biology studies of Caesalpinia pulcherrima -- the plant I had identified back then as ayoowiri. This plant, the new studies note, contains compounds that have powerful antiviral benefits, especially effective against human herpes viruses and adenoviruses, which cause the common cold. Caesalpinia pulcherrima prevents these viruses from replicating. Other recent studies demonstrate that extracts from the flower, stem, leaf, fruit, root + seed of Caesalpinia pulcherrima are also effective against wheezing, bronchitis, malarial infection, tuberculosis, other bacteria, fungi + some parasites. Earlier research had found that the active ingredients of the same plant - named for the Italian botanist Andrea Cesalpino + the Latin``very beautiful" - induce vomiting + 4 grams can induce abortion in the first trimester of pregnancy. So, Western medicine, with its expensive machinery and sophisticated scientists, has finally figured out what DaBuWan and his peers knew long ago. But how did they know it? 25.Jul.2006 https://www.turkishdailynews.com.tr/article.php?enewsid=49361 “Ancient playwrights mentioned this system in historical documents but we did not have any archaeological evidence of this system until now,” he said.

Baskent University's Academic Orchestra will perform the concert accompanied by photographs of Atatürk on the three sides of the stage. Excavations in the ancient city have been continuing since 1966 and are expected to last for years. Kaunos was a significant trading port in ancient times, however, over time sand and silt filled the harbor over time. According to Heredotos, who lived around 500 B.C., the people of Kaunos were descendents of the ancient civilization of Caria and considered themselves Cretans. When the Persians captured Anatolia, the city came under the control of Mausolos. After Alexander the Great defeated the Persians in 334 B.C. the city was ruled by Princess Ada, then by Antigonos, one of Alexander's generals and later by Ptolemy of Egypt. © 2005 Dogan Daily News Inc. www.turkishdailynews.com.tr 25.Jul.2006 Pakistan 'building reactor for 50 nukes': Pakistan is reported to be building a nuclear reactor that could produce enough plutonium for up to 50 nuclear weapons a year. 25.Jul.2006 Putin plan to shut out US oil giants : Kremlin will favour Norwegian firms to develop Barents Sea field after differences with Bush scupper Russia's bid to join WTO 25.Jul.2006 War pimp alert: Bush told to plan for Chávez oil shock: "Venezuela's leverage over global oil prices + its direct supply lines + refining capacity in the US give Venezuela undue ability to impact US security + our economy," Mr Lugar wrote in his letter to Ms Rice. 25.Jul.2006 Chavez tour piques US interest : President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela is currently on a world tour that is likely to widen the rift with the USA - but may win him further support for a non-permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council. 25.Jul.2006 Venezuela Supported for UN Security Council: The USA is actively working to thwart Venezuela’s bid to obtain the rotating seat currently held by Bolivia + instead supports Guatemala’s candidacy, reported ANSA. 25.Jul.2006 Arrest Warrant Issued for Former Guatemalan Dictator: A judge in Spain has issued arrest warrants for eight former Guatemalan officials, including a former president, Efrain Rios Montt for crimes committed during what is known by many as the Guatemalan Genocide. 25.Jul.2006 Dirty bomb victims 'may be shot': POLICE could be forced to shoot members of the public to maintain order in the event of a terrorist "dirty bomb" or biological attack on Britain, it was claimed yesterday. 25.Jul.2006 The PM, the mogul and the secret agenda : Tony Blair flies to California this week to address the annual get-together of News Corporation - led by one Rupert Murdoch.

Die Struktur der Finanzhilfe ist immer gleich: Die Laufzeit ist recht kurz und beträgt zwischen sechs und 36 Monaten. Die Kredite sind immer an eine Geschäftsidee gekoppelt + um Ausfälle zu reduzieren, werden häufig Gruppenkredite vergeben. Falls ein erster Kredit nicht beglichen wird, gibt es keine weiteren mehr. Zwar fallen die Zinsen der Institute mit durchschnittlich 20 Prozent pro Jahr recht happig aus. Das relativiert sich jedoch im Vergleich zu lokalen Kredithaien, die mitunter den gleichen Zinssatz pro Monat verlangen. Schätzungen der Organisation Consultative Group to Assist the Poor (CGAP) zufolge gibt es 80 Prozent aller Unternehmen der Entwicklungsländer nur, weil diese in der Vergangenheit einen Mikrokredit erhielten. Die direkte Hilfe zur Selbsthilfe haben in den vergangenen 30 Jahren 500 Millionen Menschen in Anspruch genommen. Pionier auf dem Gebiet der Minikredite ist Muhammad Yunus. Der Ökonomie-Professor aus Bangladesch fragte Anfang der 70er Jahre in einem Dorf in der Nähe seines Arbeitsplatzes einige Dutzend Arbeitslose, wie viel Startkapital sie für den Aufbau einer Existenz benötigten. Damals sagten fast alle, sie bräuchten weniger als einen Dollar. Knapp 30 Dollar vergab Yunus daraufhin an über 40 Familien aus dem Süden von Bangladesch + die Erfolgsgeschichte der Mikrokredite begann. 1976 gründete Yunus seine eigene Bank und ist seitdem auf die Vergabe von Mikrokrediten spezialisiert. Bis heute hat seine Grameen-Bank über vier Milliarden Dollar an fast sechs Millionen Menschen verliehen. Das Finanzhaus unterscheidet sich nur noch unwesentlich von einer ganz normalen Bank und hat über 2000 Zweigstellen. Investitionen und Spenden von großen amerikanischen Unternehmen in die Grameen-Stiftung halten den Kreditkreislauf für Menschen der Dritten Welt am Leben. Doch es darf gern noch etwas mehr sein: "Um den Bedarf an Mikrokrediten decken zu können, reichen Spenden nicht aus", sagt Regula Schegg. Auf bis zu 400 Milliarden Dollar schätzt die Direktorin der Grameen-Stiftung in den USA den weltweiten Bedarf; 15 Milliarden Dollar schwer sind die aktuellen Investitionen aller Mikrofinanz-Institute. "Um 500 Millionen Menschen einen jährlichen Kreditbedarf von durchschnittlich 800 Dollar zu sichern, muss frisches Geld vom Kapitalmarkt kommen", so Schegg.

Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, der zweite Mann nach Neil Armstrong, berichtet heute in einem Dokumentarfilm des britischen Fernsehens: Der damalige amerikanische Präsident Richard Nixon hatte bereits eine Rede für den Unglücksfall auf dem Mond vorbereitet - inklusive einem Nachruf auf die heldenhaft gestorbenen Astronauten. 24.Jul.2006 https://www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft/mensch/0,1518,druck-428236,00.html Falls sich die Technologie erfolgreich verkleinern lasse und damit ausreichend präzise und hoch auflösend einzusetzen sei, glaubt Fink an Anwendungen von neuartigen Raumteleskopen über alternative Eingabegeräte für Computer oder Videospiele bis hin zu Hilfstechniken für Sehbehinderte - und umsichtige Kleidung für künftige Soldaten. Eingewebt in Uniformen könnten die Fasern den Kampfanzügen ein "Umgebungsbewusstsein" verleihen. Dieser Hinweis könnte auch jenen Förderern geschuldet sein, die Finks Forschung finanziert haben. Darunter befinden sich das M.I.T. Institute for Soldier Nanotechnologies und die Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa) des US-Verteidigungsministeriums. stx 24.Jul.2006 https://www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft/mensch/0,1518,druck-428236,00.html Zwar sieht die Kugel noch nicht scharf, dass sie aber überhaupt optische Reize messen und umformen kann, war der Fachzeitschrift "Nature Materials" ein Titelblatt wert. "Fibers for the big pictures" titelte sie. Nun lässt sich "big picture" schlicht mit großem Bild übersetzen. Die Redewendung steht aber auch für das große Ganze. Was der Materialwissenschaftler Yoel Fink mit seinen Mitarbeitern und Studenten am Massachussets Institute of Technology (M.I.T.) zusammengeklebt hat, könnte beiden Beschreibungen gerecht werden. Die durchsichtigen Glasfasern, aus denen ihre Sphäre besteht, können Licht in elektrische Impulse umformen, beschreiben Fink und seine Kollegen in "Nature Materials" (Bd. 5, S. 532). Umgeben von einem durchsichtigen Kunststoff ziehen sich durch die Mitte der Röhrchen lichtempfindliche Glasfasern und leitende Metallelektroden. Trifft ein Lichtstrahl das Glas oder streift es, leitet die Elektrode einen elektrischen Impuls weiter. Das sagt noch nichts über den Ort des Kontakts aus. Werden aber viele Fasern als Netz übereinandergelegt, lassen sich diese Punkte zwischen den Faserkreuzungen lokalisieren. Ein Computer errechnet aus diesen Signalen dann eine Art Bild.

Perhaps we should categorize them alongside the staged "attack on German soldiers" used to justify the Nazi invasion of Poland. I do not trust Barry Chamish (who often gets into conspiratorial realms too dank and confused for even me ) but his recent claims may spark others to do some independent investigation: And now we know why Corporal Shalit was handed over to Hamas. Read the findings of the IDF's investigator Col. Giora Eiland. The kidnapping was caught on a surveillance camera. A soldier wanted to shoot the kidnappers but was denied the opportunity by his officer. Victimized children often grow up to become victimizers. At what point can we fairly say that the victims of the Nazis have become Nazis? "Israel is a democracy !" shout that nation's defenders -- but so was the USA during the slaughter of the Indians. And so was Germany when Hitler came to power. Does anyone doubt that Hitler would have won had fair and honest elections been held 00.000.1939 ? 24.Jul.2006 https://www.cannonfire.blogspot.com/ The propagandists have tried to sell this attack as a self-defense measure, but that assertion is falling apart.

Wegen der Nähe zur Grenze scheint das "Phänomen Buntmetalldiebstahl" - wie die Fälle im Polizeijargon heißen - daher besonders in Ostdeutschland beliebt zu sein. Hatte das Landeskriminalamt Brandenburg 00.000.2000 noch 119 Fälle gemeldet, registrierten die Fahnder im vergangenen Jahr schon 810. Der Schaden summierte sich auf 2,7 Millionen Euro. Dabei konnte die Polizei in Brandenburg inzwischen ein Drittel der Fälle aufklären und 460 Täter ermitteln. Auch in anderen Bundesländern stehen zunehmend Täter wegen Rohstoffdiebstahl vor Gericht. 24.Jul.2006 https://www.spiegel.de/wirtschaft/0,1518,druck-427834,00.html Die Einbrecher kamen stets in den frühen Morgenstunden - gerne sonntags, wenn in dem Industriegebiet absolute Ruhe herrscht. Erst überlisten sie die Bewegungsmelder und Flutlichtscheinwerfer. Dann setzen sie sich Grubenlampen auf dem Kopf und schaffen Leitern heran, um die Vorhängeschlösser aufzubrechen, die das Kupfer-Hochregal sichern. "Diese Leute sind hoch professionell", sagt Schwanbeck, "sechs bis acht Mann sind es gewesen." Dem Unternehmer bleibt nicht mehr übrig, als sich am nächsten Morgen die nächtliche Aktion auf Video anzusehen. Dank Vollmond hatten die Überwachungskameras Bilder geliefert. Auch andere Unternehmen müssen in Sachen Diebstahlschutz aufrüsten: So kamen dem Thermotechnik-Anbieter Buderus in Hamburg kürzlich elf Tonnen Kupfer abhanden - Schaden: 40.000 Euro. Bei einer sächsischen Firma waren es 18 Tonnen. Dabei nimmt der Rohstoffklau bisweilen bizarre Formen an: In Berlin drohte im Frühjahr ein Wohnhaus in die Luft zu fliegen, weil Diebe die Kupfer-Gasrohre aus den Wänden rissen. Als ein Nachbar den Diebstahl in der leer stehenden Wohnung bemerkte, flüchteten die Täter. Vorsichtshalber evakuierte die Feuerwehr alle Bewohner. In Düsseldorf brach Mitte Juni der Bahnverkehr zusammen, weil Diebe Signalkabel aus Kupfer gekappt hatten. Die Folge: Weichen und Signale funktionierten nicht mehr, Zehntausende Reisende steckten in den Zügen fest. Für die Deutsche Bahn wird der Rohstoffklau zunehmend zum Problem: 00.000.2004 "-Seit- merken wir einen deutlichen Anstieg", so eine Sprecherin. Im vergangenen Jahr verbuchte die Bahn einen Schaden von mindestens 20 Millionen Euro. Kosten für Reparaturen und die Verspätungen noch gar nicht eingerechnet. Komplette Lkw-Ladung geraubt Auch die Schrottbranche stöhnt wegen der Diebstähle: "Wir können nicht erkennen, dass das abebbt", sagt Ulrich Leuning vom Bundesverband Deutscher Stahlrecycling- und Entsorgungsunternehmen (BDSV). Was die Schrotthändler auf ihrem Gelände lagern, wird mit steigenden Rohstoffpreisen immer wertvoller. Kameraüberwachung und hohe Zäune sind bei den Händlern längst Standard. Wenn mittlerweile aber komplette Lkw-Ladungen mit Metall wegkommen, "dann ist das so, als ob man einen Geldtransporter fährt", sagt Leuning. Kein Wunder, dass manche Speditionen ihren Fahrern schon die Pinkelpause verbieten, damit die teure Fracht direkt und sicher zum Ziel kommt. 24.Jul.2006 https://www.spiegel.de/wirtschaft/0,1518,druck-427834,00.html Seit der Kupferpreis im Höhenflug ist, schlagen Rohstoffdiebe bei Liedelt immer öfter zu: Schon sechsmal haben sie sich bedient. "Irgendwann bin ich pleite, weil wir gegen solche Diebstähle nicht versichert sind", schimpft Schwanbeck. "Ich habe eine unheimliche Wut im Bauch." Die Polizei ermittelt, hat aber noch niemanden dingfest machen können. Für Branchenkenner sind solche Klau-Aktionen in Serie längst keine Überraschung mehr: "Der Diebstahl floriert", sagt Ladji Tikana vom Deutschen Kupferinstitut in Düsseldorf. "Fast alle Industriemetalle sind hoch im Kurs." Nicht nur Kupfer ist heiß begehrt, auch Aluminium und Stahlschrott kommen immer öfter weg. Vor drei Jahren kostete ein Kilo Kupfer noch zwei Euro, heute sind es acht Euro - auch die Preise für Alu und Schrott stiegen rasant. Volkswirtschaften wie China und Indien boomen und heizen die Preise an. Aber auch hierzulande ist in der Autoindustrie, der Energietechnik oder beim Wohnungsbau viel Kupfer gefragt. "Wenn man Energie übertragen will, gibt es nichts besseres als Kupfer", sagt Rohstoff-Experte Tikana. 24.Jul.2006 How Much is the Truth Worth to You? Rachel Carson's "Silent Spring."

White House aides have said they consider the Lebanon crisis to be a "leadership moment" for Mr Bush and an opportunity to proceed with his post-September 11 plan to reshape the Middle East by building Sunni Arab opposition to Shia terrorism .

UPDATED As-Safir Newspaper Related Articles Beirut This is what we were able to find out today locally : The main points from our reports today are : 1- what Zeinab was able to find out about electromagnetic arms: please check https://uk.oneworld.net/article/view/136518/1/5795 2- the director of Nabatiyeh National Hospital in the south, dr Hassan Wazni, talks about "vacuum bombs, it vacuums the air out of the body and stops the breathing and thus the heart stops operating. He also speaks about one death case, that of Sadek Hamed (12) whose caused is still unknown (medically) . 3- A spokesman for the army, said on record that the Israelis are using "bombs with special fillings" that could include internationally forbidden material. 4- The director of Marjeyoun national hospital (south) dr Mo'ness Kalakesh speaks about abnormal cases they treated: weird burns that make the skin glued and almost impossible to treat. These are people whose either arms or legs were hurt. 5- The doctors in the hospitals in the south all say the same thing : doing test on the remains is a luxury they can not afford at this time. They lack of doctors and equipment and time .. casualties arrive the around the clock and the priority is to try and save the injured and not to test the dead. However, an American University hospital expert, the head of Environment and Public Health and Danger management departement Azmi Imad, told us that not only the remains of the corps should be tested, but also the scene where the bombings happened too. This is of course impossible for more than one reason : all the "scenes" are unreachable due to the bombings ( some of the victims of the rmayleh bridge bombings are still under the remains of their cars) + no one can afford to leave the ER to go test scenes on the ground. 6- Today they had to burn corpses due to lack of space in the morgues, so maybe we're loosing proves. 7- Several hospitals in the south speak about similar cases : burnt not burnt corpses, swallowed, no bleeding, the unbearable semll. 8- None of the doctors would go to the extend of confirming naything : they admit they don't know. Only one doctor in Tyre, director of Najm hospital, says he saw similar cases in previous Israeli aggressions. 9- This is it . Tomorrow, a WHO representative is supposed to be handed remains of corpses and tests results, but I'm not very optimistic about any of this;on one hand, the local heath authorities seem more concerned about their political agendas and pay offs and are not giving the issue the time and effort it deserves. On the other hand, I have an innate mistrust and skepticism towards anything that involves the UN.

The three-month effort aims to poll all congressional hopefuls regarding their awareness of current evidence for US government involvement in 9/11 and the high levels of public support for a full reinvestigation, as well as their personal willingness to back such an inquiry if they are elected in the fall. Zogby polls in August, 2004 and May, 2006 showed that 66% of New York City residents and 45% of Americans overall now desire a new and broader investigation that explores all the evidence for government complicity. 00.000.2004 four presidential candidates-- Michael Badnarik (Libertarian), David Cobb (Green), John Joseph Kennedy (Democratic write-in) and Ralph Nader (Independent)--all backed this demand, but no one has ever polled congressional candidates on this issue before.

VIDEO: Watch The Show Update, this video in MP4 and WMV format now available here: https://www.911podcasts.com/display.php?vid=142 Recently, 61 state legislators signed a resolution calling for UW-Madison to fire Barrett over his outspoken views that the U.S. government orchestrated the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. UW-Madison Provost Patrick Farrell reviewed Barrett's record and decided he was qualified to teach an introductory course on Islam as scheduled in the fall . Farrell said that the university doesn't endorse Barrett's theories, but he said that his review found Barrett has a record of quality teaching . On "For The Record," Barrett said his views are always evolving but explained how his current thoughts on 9/11 developed. He said that immediately after the attacks, he was in a state of shock and wasn't sure who was behind the attacks. "I think a lot sooner than most people realize, 9/11 is going blow wide open," he said. "The official report doesn't stand up to scrutiny -- it's very simple." Barrett said he is optimistic that 9/11 will ultimately be a catalyst for Americans to take back the Constitution. ...

Past this event horizon, following the creation of strong artificial intelligence or the amplification of human intelligence, existing models of the future cease to give reliable or accurate answers. Futurists predict that after the Singularity, posthumans and/or strong AI will replace humans as the dominating force in science and technology, rendering human-specific social models obsolete." 23.Jul.2006 $3.01. byJudd Nationwide average for a gallon of regular gasoline, an all-time record. 23.Jul.2006 Broken Phoenix byKhaled Reason I’ve not been able to write anything these past days is because I’ve been feeling numb.

Bolten refused, saying Rove “knows a lot of stuff.” Bolten added, “there are alternatives ways to get to the promise of that embryonic stem cells have.” This view is not shared by stem cell researchers. Watch it: Transcript: RUSSERT: Is there any evidence that you are aware of or that the President is aware of that says adult stem cells show far more promise than embryonic. BOLTEN: Adult stem cells have already demonstrated in the amelioration of disease. RUSSERT: So you agree with Mr. Rove. BOLTEN: Like I said, I’m not a scientist. RUSSERT: I don’t think Karl Rove is either. BOLTEN: Well, he knows a lot of stuff. The point here is that there are alternatives ways to get to the promise of that embryonic stem cells have. The president with his announcement this week on stem cell policy also announced we are going to put extra effort within our scientific community, at NIH, into pursuing stem cell research that does not involve the destruction of human embryos. 23.Jul.2006 Astronomers Awaiting 1a Supernova byScuttleMonkey 25 Aryabhata - BBC News is reporting that astronomers have sighted a star on the brink of a "1a" supernova. This opportunity presents the first chance astronomers have ever had to view a supernova of this magnitude up close. From the article: "They are so rare that the last one known in our galaxy was seen in 1572 by the great Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe, who first coined the term nova, for "new star", not realizing he was in fact witnessing the violent end of an unknown star. It has long been believed that type 1a supernovae are the death throes of a white dwarf star. But all modern ones have been so distant that it has not been possible to see what had been there beforehand." 23.Jul.2006 Krise in Nahost: Erneut Tote nach Luftangriffen 23.Jul.2006 Nahost: Scharons Gesundheitszustand verschlechtert 23.Jul.2006 “Even superpowers have to talk to bad guys,” byFaiz- writes former CIA deputy director John McLaughlin. “The absence of a diplomatic relationship with Iran and the deterioration of the one with Syria…leave the USA with fewer options and levers than might otherwise have been the case. … We will have to get over the notion that talking to bad guys somehow rewards them or is a sign of weakness.

The U.S. occupation is butcher’s work under the slogan of democracy and human rights and justice.” Today on Meet the Press, White House Chief of Staff Joshua Bolten said he has been in meetings with al-Mashhadani and the speaker has an “appreciation for the sacrifice so many Americans have made.” Watch it: Transcript: RUSSERT: But it must be hard for people all across this country who have given almost 2600 American men and women their lives on the ground in Iraq and for the leader of the parliament to call us butchers. BOLTEN: Yeah, I think that is hard. That’s not the rhetoric I think you will hear from Prime Minister Malaki when he comes to visit the President in a couple of days. I was with the President when he went to Baghdad last month and the meetings he had especially in private with Prime Minister Malaki were very encouraging. There was a strong sense throughout all of the people we met with, including, candidly, the Speaker, of appreciation for the sacrifice that so many Americans have made. And I think you will find Prime Minister Malaki expressing that sentiment very strongly when he is here in the USA. 23.Jul.2006 Ariel Sharon's condition worsens The condition of former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon worsens, say doctors treating him. 23.Jul.2006 Family's relief at Lebanon escape A south Wales mother who escaped Lebanon with her three young daughters describes their terrifying ordeal. 23.Jul.2006 Only 5% Of Bloggers Are Journalists byScuttleMonkey 35 ObsessiveMathsFreak writes "A recent study has concluded that only 5% of bloggers have news as their primary topic.

Single-task PC operating systems (OSes) evolved into multitasking OSes to make the most of increasing CPU power + the introduction of the graphical user interface at the same time reduced CPU performance and fueled demands for even more efficiencies. "The role of CPU performance is definitely waning + if a radical new technology fails to materialize quickly we will be compelled to write more efficient code for power consumption costs and reasons," Fomitchev writes. Slow, bloated software entails higher costs in terms of both direct and indirect power consumption + the author reasons that code optimization will likely involve the replacement of blade server racks with microblade server racks where every microblade executes a dedicated task and thus eats up less power. The collective number of microblades should also far outnumber initial "macro" blades. Fully isolating software components should enhance the system's robustness thanks to the potential of real-time component hot-swap or upgrade and the total removal of software installation, implementation + patch conflicts. The likelihood of this happening is reliant on the factor of energy costs, which directly feeds into the factor of code optimization efficiency." 23.Jul.2006 http: Learn More... FREEWAYBLOGGER.COM TALES OF THE FREEWAYBLOGGER 23.Jul.2006 https://www.911blogger.com In defense of the conspiratorial world view -by Jay Esbe - OpEd News ...A lot of effort goes into "debunking" conspiracy theories + certainly there are many which are absurd + poorly defended. But the tendency to find conspiracies to explain events, is anything but rooted in ignorance. One of the things which separates man from the rest of the Animal kingdom, is his intellectual capacity to recognize patterns. A human being sees a square peg and a square hole + knows they go together. A monkey presumably has trouble unless taught. The tendency to skepticism is not always a sign of intelligence. Sometimes, when otherwise intelligent people dismiss the connection between a square peg and a square hole, it's because they've been conditioned to ignore it. I believe this is the case with much of the self-proclaimed intellectual elite's disdain for so-called "conspiracy theories"; people have to be taught, or otherwise pressured not to see the pattern... ...We use the concept of conspiracy every day in our legal system + there would be many thousands more criminals walking our streets were we not to recognize and include the concept of conspiracy in trials. Yet somehow, a vastly different standard has been applied to certain historic crimes over the decades when the public demands a logical explanation for the extraordinary events in question. Current polls now show that a majority of Americans believe the government is not telling them the truth about 9-11. That fact now makes the majority of Americans "conspiracy theorists" regarding the issue. It is now a minority of the public who believes they were told the truth by the Bush appointed 9-11 Commission, but such is not the case among the so-called "mainstream media". It is nearly universally hostile to any question of a cover-up by the government. Those who need the world to make sense do not find the disparity between public opinion and the media elite's contempt for suspicion to be meaningless. They reasonably look for a vested conflict of interest on the part of the corporate media to explain why presumably intelligent professionals go soft in the head + they do not have to look far to find one; a media which sits in an unelected advisory capacity to the President of the USA through the CFR (Council on Foreign Relations), innumerable "think tanks" funded by corporate interests all assuming a global model is "inevitable" + directly attached special interests which include the world's biggest defense contractors raking billions of dollars in for share holders as they pursue the war profits of 9-11. People who point out the obvious are not wearing tin foil hats, they're simply...pointing out the obvious ...

We were doing 195 newspapers and 43 countries in fourteen or fifteen languages.".. The Bush administration took everything Rendon had to offer.

Hand 'em out! 23.Jul.2006 New Michel Chossudovsky Interview. Joel Garduce has published a new interview with Michel Chossudovsky in Bulatlat, an alternative weekly online magazine based in the Philippines. Chossudovsky is one of the earliest and most vocal critics of the "official story" of 9/11 + has lectured and written exhaustively on the topic. Here is an excerpt from the interview; JPG: Your research goes against the thesis of some thinkers like Noam Chomsky that 9/11 is principally a blowback operation. How would you look at these views? MC: Those views are totally incorrect. The blowback assumes that the relationship between al-Qaeda and the U.S. government intelligence ceased in the wake of the Cold War. Because that's what they say. They say we created al-Qaeda during the Soviet-Afghan war. We trained the mujahideen, we helped them in fighting the Soviet Union. And in the wake of the Cold War, al-Qaeda has gone against us. And that's what's called the blowback. Blowback is when an intelligence asset goes against its sponsors. That viewpoint I say is incorrect because in the course of the 1990s there's ample evidence of links between al-Qaeda and the U.S. administration, during the Clinton administration as well as the Bush administration, leading up in fact to 2001. There's evidence of active collaboration between al-Qaeda paramilitary groups in the Balkans and senior U.S. military advisers. I think that that view is mistaken, whether it emanates from the Left or from other quarters. It is totally mistaken and it is very misleading because it really provides legitimacy to the war on terrorism. It essentially says yes, the war on terrorism is a legitimate objective of U.S. foreign policy. And either they are mistaken or they are involved in media disinformation. 23.Jul.2006 Scholars' Press Release Scholars For 9/11 Truth has a new press release about Kevin Barrett and Bill O'Reilly "When public threats can be made to a citizen's life for expressing his opinions on a controversial topic and neither the government nor the media respond," he observed, "that is a sure sign we are living in a fascist state. * * * "What's stunning is that this man, who knows nothing about the events of 9/11 apart from what the government has told him, nevertheless assumes unto himself the role of judge, jury + (it even appears) executioner!" Fetzer added. "This is a travesty, an astonishing violation of academic freedom, freedom of speech, the right of the people to be free from assault." Verbal threats, he observed, are assaults, especially when, as in this case, they endorse physical violence against a citizen. * * * The melting point of steel is not Democrat or Republican and the hottest temperatures that jet-fuel-based fires can attain does not depend upon the identity of the President of the USA." 23.Jul.2006 New 9/11 feature film probes government's version of the Pentagon attack. https://www.prleap.com/pr/41357/ What really happened at the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. on September 11, 2001? Did an American Airlines 757 dive into the five-sided building at the control of foreign terrorists as the government has relentlessly insisted, or did something else strike the building on that fateful day in America? This is what the new feature film, Severe Visibility, explores. The film, written and directed by Paul Cross, examines the events of that day through the eyes of an Army Major, an employee at the Pentagon who was injured when the incident occurred but is confused by the official report which contradicts his eye witness recollection. Kruter's self-questioning sanity is opposed by his sense of patriotism ultimately setting him on a collision course with his inescapable destiny. Thanks to Cathy for sending this in Also, still on the subject of the Pentagon, here are a couple of stories by Christopher Bollyn: 9/11 Pentagon Eyewitness Describes Having Seen Global Hawk 9/11 Eyewitness - FBI Destroyed Evidence at Pentagon Also, Samuel D.

Her photo, which she has called "End of Serenity," has been cheered by a lot of 9/11 researchers, including myself, who have argued that her photo proves that the crash of Flight 93 is fake because the smoke plume in her photo looks more like the plume coming from an ordnance blast because of its grey color rather than from a plane crash since smoke from jet fuel fires are almost black in color. Now after nearly five years of speculating over this photo, evidence has been discovered that conclusively shows that the mushroom cloud in her photo did not come from a Boeing 757 crashing at Shanksville and not only that, but there is something else about this photo that makes it a 100% proof positive smoking gun photo! However there is one slight problem, her photo may be a fake. Go check out the entire article, send in some feedback to Killtown, post some comments here + if you track down any video or images (like this) that might provide further context post that as well. 23.Jul.2006 Mike DeWine decided to try on the "9/11 Halo" and it didn't work so well... DeWine blunder adds fuel to controversial 11.Sep.2001 ad The controversial video of the burning World Trade Center towers in a television campaign ad for Ohio Sen. Mike DeWine is doctored, U.S. News has learned. The television spot, which has been lambasted by critics as a political exploitation of the Sept. 11, attacks Democrat challenger Rep. Sherrod Brown for being weak on national security. On the air in major Ohio markets since last Friday, the ad shows the towers, with the south building billowing smoke, which gradually drifts upward. In the video, the north tower, which was struck first on September 11, is undamaged. "This particular image is impossible," says W. Gene Corley, a stuctural engineer who led FEMA's building performance study on the World Trade Center after the 9/11 attacks. Corley reviewed the ad at www.brownvotes.com for U.S. News. "The north tower was hit first [so] the south tower could not be burning without the North Tower burning." Corley also says, "the smoke is all wrong." The day of the attacks, the plumes of ash were drifting to the southeast. "The smoke on 9/11 was never in a halo like that," Corley says. You can view the video on DeWine's "Brown Votes" website. Gene Corley, of all people! You ever analyze any of those other videos, Gene? Here is a 3mb .wmv of the commercial you can download. 23.Jul.2006 https://www.911blogger.com The 9/11 War Games 911Truth.org has a brief new article about the "Military Exercises" that preceeded + took place on, 9/11. To give it some context, I'll post some links to some other, older articles, as well. Exclusive Report: Did Military Exercises Facilitate the 9/11 Pentagon Attack? - July 2006 We can see that Pentagon training exercises prior to 9/11 routinely involved the simulated crashing of an aircraft into the building. But might another such exercise have been scheduled for the morning of 9/11? There are various pieces of evidence indicating this may have been the case. Although the existence of such an exercise has never been stated explicitly, this might be because the exercise was declared classified.... The War Games of September 11th - November 2005 In addition, a December 9, 2001 Toronto Star article reprinted here, stated that "Operation Northern Vigilance is called off. Any simulated information, what's known as an 'inject,' is purged from the screens". This indicates that there were false radar blips inserted onto air traffic controllers' screens as part of the war game exercises... 911 : The lost "terror drill"? - 2004/12/11 Why did an internal FAA memo claim, that at around 9:18 AM, two cockpit members had been stabbed and at around 9:20 AM, one of their passengers, Daniel Lewin (Seat 9B), former member of Israel's elite anti-terror commando "Sayeret Matkal" had been shot? Was Lewin maybe involved in a passive observation or active participation of this drill?... The 9/11 War Games - Censored 2003 ...Representative Cynthia McKinney (D-Altanta) attempted to bring some attention to the 9/11 war games during the House Hearing on FY06 Department of Defense Budget, on March 11th, 2005. She questioned Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld and Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff, Richard Myers about the four war games that took place on September 11th. Myers responded to the question with very ambiguous explanations. He claimed that war gaming was being held by several different departments and it was not NORADs overall responsibility to respond to the attacks, but the FAA’s. Nonetheless, he felt the gaming actually provided “an easy transition from an exercise into a real world situation” and contributed to a quick response. Myers failed to comment on McKinney’s question of who was actually in charge of managing the war games on 9/11 (Kane 3/1/2005)... 23.Jul.2006 Aktion gegen "Land der Ideen" Imagekampagne byMike de Vries „Land der Ideen“ - Kampagne gestört.

The organisation never confirms individual membership. Police have made no linkage between his disappearance and Opus Dei. 23.Jul.2006 https://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,3-2280543,00.html Signor Roveraro, a former Italian Olympic pole-vaulter, had been questioned in an inquiry into the collapse and fraudulent bankruptcy of the food and dairy conglomerate Parmalat, which is based in Parma. 00.000.2003 Parmalat collapsed with €14 billion of debt — Europe’s largest corporate failure 23.Jul.2006 https://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,3-2280543,00.html A BANKER who had been questioned over a huge corporate scandal was found murdered yesterday, having apparently been kidnapped on his way home from a meeting of the Roman Catholic organisation Opus Dei. The body of Gianmario Roveraro, 70, had been chopped into pieces and hidden in a hut beneath a motorway bridge about 18 miles (30km) from Parma. NI_MPU('middle'); The gruesome discovery made sensational headlines in Italy, by chance drawing together two enduring elements of national life: a mysterious financial scandal and the influence of the Church. Police said that three men had been arrested and charged with Signor Roveraro’s kidnap and murder.

Permalink 23.Jul.2006 https://www.sploid.com/news/2006/07/pentagon_papers.php Whistleblower thinks 9/11 inside job The Pentagon insider who revealed the cynical lies behind the Vietnam War disaster has concluded that the Bush Administration probably orchestrated or at least allowed the horrific attacks against America on Sept. 11, 2001. Daniel Ellsberg bravely leaked the "Pentagon Papers" 00.000.1971, which finally turned America against the bloody and amoral war. Now Ellsberg says Washington's despots likely committed the ultimate treason right here at home. "Very serious questions have been raised, about how much they knew beforehand and how much involvement there may have been," Ellsberg said Tuesday on the GCN radio show. (Click here for mp3.) "Is the administration capable -- humanly and physiologically -- of engineering such a provocation? Yes, I would say that. I worked for such an administration myself." That was the Lyndon Johnson administration, Ellsberg said, which committed "manufactured provocation" to escalate the Vietnam War. Ellsberg called for "a very comprehensive and hard hitting investigation of a kind that we've not seen, with subpoenas, general questioning of people + raising the release of a lot of documents." 23.Jul.2006 Silver Linings and a Cross of Gold Guess who's excited about World War III? 23.Jul.2006 Whistleblower thinks 9/11 inside job Sploid's got it. 23.Jul.2006 Banker in food scandal is found dead after Opus Dei meeting A BANKER who had been questioned over a huge corporate scandal was found murdered yesterday, having apparently been kidnapped on his way home from a meeting of the Roman Catholic organisation Opus Dei.

He said the wooden boats, all apparently destroyed around 1000, make up a sort of "missing link" in the history of shipbuilding because of the fusion of old and new techniques in a single boat. 23.Jul.2006 DIANA EXCLUSIVE: THE DRIVER'S LOST THREE HOURS SCOTLAND Yard detectives investigating the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, are baffled over the disappearance of driver Henri Paul for three hours on the night of the Paris car crash. 23.Jul.2006 Fire and Sword Will Americans join Iraqis, Lebanese + Palestinians as neocon victims?- By Paul Craig Roberts What explains the indifference of the Bush administration to the slaughter of civilians in Iraq, Lebanon + Gaza?

So now I understand. The Lebanese must thank the Israelis for destroying their lives and infrastructure. They must be grateful for all the air strikes and the dead children . Continue 23.Jul.2006 https://www.cannonfire.blogspot.com/ What is the REAL reason for the war on Lebanon? (UPDATE) Few Iraqis embraced the jihadis until the Americans stole Iraq's oil. Similarly, only 18% of the Lebanese supported Hezbollah before the current Israeli strikes. When the refugees return, we can expect every one of them to seethe with rage at Israel -- and at the USA, which has sped up Israel's supply of precision-guided weaponry. Worse still: We have growing indications of Israeli chemical warfare. Bachir Cham, a Belgian/Lebanese doctor who runs a hospital in Lebanon, offers this report: "The bodies don't look like they normally do. After an explosion there were no traces of blood loss or subcutaneous haemorrhages [bruises]," Cham said via mobile phone direct from Beirut. "The hair and sometimes the beard and the moustache remained intact. I found no traces of the pressure wave by the explosion. The colour of the skin was black like a shoe, but the skin was not carbonised or burnt." 23.Jul.2006 https://www.cannonfire.blogspot.com/ Her voice narrates a powerful slide presentation here + the Hamilton Spectator publishes her story here: When I arrived two months ago, the atmosphere was an instantly appealing mix of Mediterranean and Arab culture. The depth and variety of history and culture was amazing, the food was great and cheap + the locals were the most welcoming people I've come across, opening their homes, their kitchens, even their weddings, to me... The Lebanese are scared + sad + also overwhelmingly angry. The majority of the Lebanese do not naturally support Hezbollah, but Israeli attacks are rallying support. I am staying in a dorm at the American University of Beirut + even these least radical Lebanese were joyful when Hezbollah hit an Israeli warship. I've volunteered in a public garden to which refugees from Beirut's southern suburbs have fled. These families, among Beirut's poorest, have had their homes destroyed by Israeli bombing and have nowhere left to go. Since schools and community centres are full, entire families have brought mattresses and bags of clothes to camp out in the garden. There are no sanitation facilities and no shelter. Some families have been there for six days now. 23.Jul.2006 https://www.cannonfire.blogspot.com/ Fans of historical irony will find grim humor in the fact that the "Christians" of the American south have enabled Israeli attacks on Christians in Lebanon's north. Indeed, the IDF targeted the media outlets of the very "Cedar Revolution" which the Bush administation had once supported. 23.Jul.2006 https://www.cannonfire.blogspot.com/ The Israelis are smart -- much smarter than their easily-gulled American supporters. The Israelis know full well that this offensive will raise sympathy for Hezbollah from 18% to 100%. Why, then, the attack on Lebanon? I doubt that the stated reasons are the real ones; indeed, I would not be surprised to learn that some Hezbollah attacks were provoked or staged. (Note the precedent.) 23.Jul.2006 https://www.cannonfire.blogspot.com/ The current Lebanese war is about water . Few Americans understand this, because few Americans can imagine living in a region where the demand for water exceeds supply. But this natural resource has long been at the real root of Israeli/Lebanese conflict. As this report notes: Almost half of the water currently used in Israel is captured, diverted or preempted from its neighbors." This is understandable, given water can be described as "Israel's vulnerable and fragile source of life. Moreover: Today, 00.000.2006, Israel lives with increasing water shortages and a rapidly decreasing supply of fresh water. The river Jordan may run dry within the next two years, because of the vast amount of water being drawn from the river by the people living in the area. (Emphasis added.) From a brief - yet monumentally important - 00.000.2002 New York Times story: Senior officials from the United States Embassy in Beirut met Prime Minister Rafik al-Hariri to try to defuse a dispute with Israel over Lebanon's plans to use water both countries say they need. Israel has said it takes a "grave view" of Lebanon's plan to pipe water to southern villages from the Wazzani Springs, three miles north of the Israeli border. The springs feed the Hasbani River, a tributary of the Jordan River, which is a major source of Israel's fresh water. Lebanon says that it is within its rights under international law and that it plans to open a pumping station soon. Few in the West now recalls that 00.000.2002 Uri Saguy - head of the Israeli water suppply, as well as the former head of Israeli military intelligence - warned that "war or forceful confrontation" would result if Lebanon continued to access its own water. (This, despite the fact that the Lebanese had already allowed the bully to the south to install pumps at the Springs.) See also this story in the Christian Science Monitor. Hariri is gone now + those southern villages have been reduced to rubble. When the current conflict ends, Israel will control the Wazzani Springs. UPDATE: Quite independently, Jeff Wells over at Rigorous Intuition came to much the same conclusion. He quotes from a book called Watershed : The Role of Fresh Water in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict (unread by me); apparently, the Litani has played a major role in Zionist strategic thinking well before Israel came to exist. We also learn that the Ogallala aquifer in the U.S. may be endangered + that none other than the Reverend Moon has been buying up territory surrounding South America's Guarani Aquifer.Water. It's the new oil.

Die Idee scheint einem Science-Fiction-Roman zu entstammen: Irgendwo, so die Vorstellung, gibt es einen kosmischen Ingenieur, der das Universum gezielt geplant und so entworfen hat, dass seine Bedingungen für das menschliche Leben optimal sind. Dieser planende Konstrukteur könnte eine überirdische Macht im religiösen Sinn sein oder auch eine intelligente Lebensform außerhalb unseres Universums - eine Idee, die selbst renommierte Kosmologen wie Edward Harrison von der Universität von Massachusetts vertreten, wie "Bild der Wissenschaft" berichtet. Zwar ist es theoretisch denkbar, dass Universen gezielt geschaffen werden könnten. Doch der teleologische Erklärungsansatz hat viele andere Schwächen. So bleibt unter anderem die Frage offen, warum die intelligenten Außerirdischen extra für uns Menschen ein Universum entwerfen sollten. Der wichtigste Einwand ist jedoch: Die teleologische Theorie erklärt nicht, sondern verschiebt einfach das eigentlich Problem. Denn wenn die intelligenten Erbauer unser Universum maßgeschneidert haben - wie ist dann ihr eigenes, offensichtlich ja ebenfalls lebensfreundliches entstanden? 23.Jul.2006 https://www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft/weltraum/0,1518,druck-428007,00.html "Eine Änderung im Wert einer Konstante würde die Konsistenz der Theorie zerstören", erklärt der Physik-Nobelpreisträger Steven Weinberg das Prinzip. "Die endgültige Theorie wäre wie ein Stück feines Porzellan, das man nicht verformen kann, ohne es zu zerbrechen." Die Hoffnungen, eine solche Theorie zu finden, konzentrieren sich heute auf Ansätze wie die sogenannte Quantengravitation oder - bezeichnenderweise - die "Theorie von Allem". 23.Jul.2006 https://www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft/weltraum/0,1518,druck-428007,00.html Ähnliches gilt für die Anzahl der Raumdimensionen, die Verteilung von Materie und Antimaterie im Kosmos, für die Schwerkraft und sogar für das Alter des Universums. Doch woher kommt diese unglaubliche, auf das Leben zugeschnittene Feinabstimmung? Kann sie zufällig entstanden sein? Mit dieser Frage beschäftigen sich immer mehr Physiker und Kosmologen. An einen Zufall wollen sie dabei nicht glauben - zumindest so lange nicht, bis alle anderen Erklärungsversuche gescheitert sind.
