holds something else: a chronicle of U.S. government waste, misguided

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.

Monday, 28 July 2008 17:18

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.

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.

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.
