Jason Leopold, Truthout: "An ethics report prepared by H. Marshall Jarrett, head of the Justice Department's Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR), reached 'damning' conclusions about numerous cases of 'misconduct' in the advice attorneys John Yoo and Jay Bybee provided the Bush administration, according to legal and Congressional sources familiar with the findings and news reports. The report, which also may be critical of legal opinions authorizing domestic surveillance activities, recommends state bar associations conduct a review of Yoo and Bybee's legal work to determine whether they should face disciplinary action, including disbarment."

In der afghanischen Provinz Farah sind bei Angriffen der US-Luftwaffe etwa 100 Menschen getötet worden, darunter auch mindestens 30 Zivilisten. Es ist nach Darstellung der "Tagesschau" einer der blutigsten Angriffe auf Zivilisten seit dem Sturz der Taliban vor mehr als sieben Jahren. Das Internationale Komitee vom Roten Kreuz (IKRK) schickte ein Team in die betroffene Region, das offenbar einen grausamen Fund machte. "Was sie gesehen haben, waren Dutzende von Körpern", sagt eine Sprecherin des IKRK.

BURNLEY councillors have blocked controversial plans for a mobile phone mast in the heart of Brunshaw after listening to concerns from residents.
At the latest meeting of Burnley Council's Development Control Committee, members refused the application, from Vodafone to install the mast in Rimington Avenue on the grounds it would affect the visual amenity of the area.

Eamon Javers, The Politico: "The 2008 AIG bonus pool just keeps getting larger and larger. In a response to detailed questions from Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), the company has offered a third assessment of exactly how much it paid out in bonuses last year. And the new number, offered in a document submitted to Cummings on May 1, is the highest figure the company has disclosed to date. AIG now says it paid out more than $454 million in bonuses to its employees for work performed in 2008. That is nearly four times more than the company revealed in late March."

GREEN LIGHT: The phone mast will be in Main Street

A MOBILE phone company has been given the green light to erect a mobile telephone mast in the centre of Barrhead.

The plans by mobile giants Vodaphone to build the mast just off Main Street were accepted by the planning board at East Renfreshire council.

The mast will be the fourth in the town, two mobile phone masts have already been built in Thomson Farm on Gateside Road and another mast was built two years ago in Sharks Industrial estate.

Three years ago East Renfrewshire council objected to plans to build a mast near to Main Street.

The reluctant enablers of torture

Salon
by Sheri Fink

The recent Senate Armed Services Committee report on the treatment of detainees captured during the Bush administration’s War on Terror revealed that several American military officers acted to stop harsh interrogations of prisoners. Likewise, the Senate report showed that psychologists versed in the military’s Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape ‘SERE’ program, which was meant to train American soldiers how to cope with torture if captured by the enemy, warned officials as early as 2002 that reverse-engineering SERE techniques for use on detainees could be ineffective and dangerous. What has been little noticed in the report is that the same psychologists helped develop the very interrogation policies and practices they warned against...

When Margaret Chan, head of the World Heath Organization, raised the pandemic threat alert from four to five in response to the swine flu outbreak, she had no qualms about using the language of fear. ‘All of humanity is under threat,’ she declared. When, in the future, historians look back on this performance of fear, and on the swine flu panic more broadly, they will surely ask themselves: was Chan speaking as a public health official or as a moral entrepreneur?

Flu overhyped? Some say officials “cried swine”

Quincy Patriot Ledger

05/07/09

Did government health officials ‘cry swine’ when they sounded the alarm on what looked like a threatening new flu? The so-far mild swine flu outbreak has many people saying all the talk about a devastating global epidemic was just fear-mongering hype. But that’s not how public health officials see it, calling complacency the thing that keeps them up at night...

AstraZeneca in US talks over swine flu vaccine as profits leap 40%

AstraZeneca is in talks with health authorities in America about developing a vaccine for swine flu.

Swine Flu Martial Law Bill Clears In Massachusetts
The new Senate version would allow the public health commissioner — in a public health emergency — to close or evacuate buildings, enter private property for investigations, and quarantine individuals.


http://www.naturalnews.com/026141.html

What seems suspicious to me is the hybrid origin of the viral fragments found in H1N1 influenza. According to reports in the mainstream media (which has no reason to lie about this particular detail), this strain of influenza contains viral code fragments from:

• Human influenza
• Bird Flu from North America
• Swine flu from Europe
• Swine flu from Asia

This is rather astonishing to realize, because for this to have been a natural combination of viral fragments, it means an infected bird from North America would have had to infect pigs in Europe, then be re-infected by those some pigs with an unlikely cross-species mutation that allowed the bird to carry it again, then that bird would have had to fly to Asia and infected pigs there, and those Asian pigs then mutated the virus once again (while preserving the European swine and bird flu elements) to become human transmittable, and then a human would have had to catch that virus from the Asian pigs -- in Mexico! -- and spread it to others. (This isn't the only explanation of how it could have happened, but it is one scenario that gives you an idea of the complexity of such a thing happening).

http://www.lifegen.de/newsip/shownews.php4?getnews=2009-02-26-5323&pc=s01

There is no excuse. According to the scientific network PROMED, Baxter International Inc. in Austria "unintentionally contaminated samples with the bird flu virus that were used in laboratories in 3 neighbouring countries, raising concern about the potential spread of the deadly disease". Austria, Germany, Slowenia and the Czech Republic - these are the countries in which labs were hit with dangerous viruses. Not by bioterrorist commandos, but by Baxter. In other words: One of the major global pharmaceutical players seems to have lost control over a virus which is considered by many virologists to be one of the components leading some day to a new pandemic. Was it H5N1, or the even more risky H3N2? And what about the BSL3-Standards Baxter is operating when handling the viruses? What happened? And who failed? by Vlad Georgescu

Dr Horowitz: Mexican”Swine” Flu Made in Lab

Posted by: Clare Swinney ‧ April 30, 2009 ‧ Post a comment
tagsTags: 1918 Spanish flu, bioengineer, CDC, chickens, DNA, Dr James Robertson, Dr Len Horowitz, Dr Rick Bright, EMEA, genocide, H1N1, H5N1, Horowitz, human, Mexican, NIBCC, Novavax, novel, Rick Bright, swine, swine flu, vaccine, Vaccines, Virology, WHO Posted in: Health, News, Politics, Science

In this special report at YouTube, medical researcher Dr Leonard horowitz2Horowitz says that the evidence the Mexican “swine” flu was created in a laboratory and released deliberately is undeniable. Link to the text related to this here.

Author of Emerging Viruses: AIDS And Ebola: Nature, Accident or Intentional?, Horowitz says the swine-bird-human flu strain, reported to be found first in Mexico in late-March 2009, could have only come from Dr James S. Robertson and his colleagues in association with the US Centre for Disease Control and vaccine manufacturer Novavax, Inc, which was ready to profit from the release he says. Nobody else takes H5N1 Asian-flu infected chickens, takes them to Europe, extracts their DNA, combines their proteins with H1N1 viruses from the 1918 Spanish flu isolate, additionally mixes in some swine-flu genes from pigs, then reverse engineers them to infect humans, he said.

A report in Medical News Today revealed that Novavax was working on a vaccine for an avian flu pandemic in 2005 and an article at News-Medical.net mentioned they began human clinical testing of a pandemic flu vaccine in August 2007. Also, in a news release dated the 14th of April 2009, shortly after the first reported case of “swine flu”, their vaccine was being touted as being able to protect against the “highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza strain.” Stated the Vice President of Vaccine Development for Novavax in this report, the vaccine “has significant implications for both pre-pandemic and pandemic preparedness.”

The results of the government’s stress tests on banks, to be released in a few days, will not mark the beginning of the end of the financial crisis. If we are to believe the leaks, the results will show that there might be a few problems at some of the regional banks and Citigroup and Bank of America may need some more capital if things get worse. But the overall message is that the sector is in pretty good shape. This would be good news if it were credible. But the International Monetary Fund has just released a study of estimated losses on U.S. loans and securities. It was very bleak — $2.7 trillion, double the estimated losses of six months ago. Our estimates at RGE Monitor are even higher, at $3.6 trillion, implying that the financial system is currently near insolvency in the aggregate. With the U.S. banks and broker-dealers accounting for more than half these losses there is a huge disconnect between these estimated losses and the regulators’ conclusions...

Insolvent banks should feel market discipline

Financial Times
by Matthew Richardson and Nouriel Roubini

05/07/09

Joseph Schumpeter famously argued that the essence of capitalism was creative destruction, by which new economic structures are born from the rubble of older ones. The government stress tests on the 19 largest US banks … could have facilitated this process. The opportunity looks likely to be missed. The tests, which measure how viable banks are under adverse economic conditions, have no ‘failed’ category, even if as many as 10 are reported to need additional capital. … Once again, the question will be how the near-insolvent banks can be kept afloat, to avoid systemic risk. But the question we really should be asking is: why keep insolvent banks afloat?

A major investment risk: Congress at work

How much money did you lose last year? If you’re like most Americans, your retirement funds, college savings accounts, and any other investments tied to stocks suffered greatly. It didn’t have to be this way. You could have followed a simple investment rule that would have spared you from much of the past year’s losses. You could have invested only when Congress is on vacation. It may sound a little crazy, but I am totally serious. When Congress works – and by ‘works’ I mean ‘meddles’ — it destroys wealth. When Congress doesn’t work, wealth grows by itself. … As government power and influence grow, the trend has intensified in recent years. From 2000 through 2008, in-session performance of the S&P is –12.4 percent. The out-of-session performance: +8.8 percent...

Workers told her they were testing for transmission signals and investigating options two houses away from her home, where neighbours have put up a sign protesting against cellphone towers.
