Monday, 28 July 2008 17:45

In the flatlands north of Baghdad sits a prison with no prisoners. It

planning and construction shortcuts costing $40 million and stretching 
back to the American overseers who replaced Saddam Hussein.

Church exorcism protected by First Amendment
Monday, 28 July 2008 17:38

Laura Schubert Pearson's lawsuit accusing members of the Pleasant Glade 
Assembly of God Church of subjecting her to a two-day exorcism ordeal in 
1996 that left her so distressed she attempted suicide was dismissed by 
the Texas Supreme Court last month.

The judges overturned a lower court's decision awarding her damages and 
ruled that because Mrs Schubert Pearson's claims of injury amounted to a 
religious dispute over church doctrine it would be "unconstitutional" 
for the court to get involved.

U.S. facing possible hearing loss epidemic: study
Monday, 28 July 2008 17:18

One of three U.S. adults already suffers from some degree of hearing 
loss and the use of personal stereos and an aging population may create 
a hearing impairment epidemic, researchers said on Monday.

A team at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore estimated that 55 
million Americans have hearing loss in one or both ears, with men, 
whites and the least-educated most affected.

"Shanghai Six" and the Collective Security Organization are to React to 
American Missile Defence Plans
Monday, 28 July 2008 17:09

Russia is member of the post-Soviet Collective Security Treaty 
Organization (CSTO), which brings it  together with Belarus, Kazakhstan, 
Kyrgyzstan,  Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Armenia.

Together with the Shanghai Cooperation Organization,  the CSTO is 
considering a joint response to American  plans for missile defences in 
Eastern and Central  Europe.

The Organization sees the NATO defence  infrastructure and American 
missile defences so close  to its western borders as a serious threat to 
its  vital security interests.

correct. He has united the world against us!

The Bush Administration's Secret Biowarfare Agenda
Monday, 28 July 2008 15:08

At the same time, ample evidence "confirms that the US has built an 
extensive arsenal of biological weapons (in blatant violation) of 
international laws and covenants." It was enlarged in the 1980s and 
1990s but significantly expanded under George Bush on the pretext of 
being strictly "defensive" and to "curb the use of germ warfare by 
'rogue states.' "

On October 29, 2002, the London Guardian reported that "Respected 
scientists on both sides of the Atlantic warned that the US is 
(illegally) developing a new generation of weapons that undermine and 
possibly violate international treaties on biological and chemical 
warfare" - ironically at the same time it accused Iraq of these same 
type violations.

University of Bradford international security professor Malcolm Dando 
and University of California microbiology lecturer Mark Wheelis accused 
the Bush administration of "encouraging a breakdown in arms control" 
treaties by secretly conducting these programs. Dando said they include:

     -- developing a cluster bomb to disperse bioweapons;

     -- building a bioweapons plant from commercially available 
materials to prove "terrorists" can do it;

     -- genetically engineering a more potent anthrax strain;

     -- producing dried and weaponized anthrax spores in quantities far 
larger than for research;

     -- researching and producing hallucinogenic weapons such as BZ gas; and

     -- developing "non-lethal" weapons similar to the gas Russia used 
to end the 2002 Moscow theater siege that killed around 170 people and 
injured hundreds.

NY GOV WARNING OF WORST ECONOMY IN DECADES
Monday, 28 July 2008 15:01
