*Bouclier anti-missile
Russia threatening new cold war over missile defence
The Kremlin has not publicly spelt out its plans. But defence experts said its response is likely to include upgrading its nuclear missile arsenal so that it is harder to shoot down, putting more missiles on mobile launchers, and moving its fleet of nuclear submarines to the north pole, where they are virtually undetectable.

The old saying is true: Capitalism without failure is like religion without sin. The answer to excessive risk-taking is "let 'em fail."
Wall Street wants a free ride. They want to gamble with their money, win huge gains, but expect government to protect them from losses and all on the backs of the ordinary working stiff.
The problem with bailouts, which is where this is heading, is that even those Americans who were smart enough not to get caught up ion the real-estate bubble, are going to wind up paying the costs of it all, just as working people who had nothing to do with the reckless S&L lending policies of the 80s ultimately paid the costs of that disaster.
The rich always make the poor pay for all their mistakes.
Heavy losses sweep world markets
Here is shown the downside of globalism.
National borders serve the same function as fireproof doors in buildings or watertight bulkheads in ships. They contain and limit unexpected damage.
Fire doors contain a fire so that the whole building does not burn. Watertight bulkheads contain a leak so that the whole ship does not sink. National borders contain economic crisis and disease outbreaks so that the whole planet does not collapse.
But like building owners who nail open fire doors to improve traffic flow, or ship owners who do not bother to maintain the watertight doors because of cost, the globalists see the barriers as an inconvenience to be gotten rid of, in order to speed their acquisition of wealth.
And like the fire that has spread beyond the point of origin, or the water that has breached the adjacent watertight compartments, the economic disaster created by reckless

NO WAY OUT: A 50% DOLLAR DEVALUATION
Artificial Economics, the brainchild of the Master Planners, has focused on building an economy where debt — not income — pays for goods and services. The emphasis upon debt instead of income via hyper-inflating the money supply in stealth fashion, has destroyed the dreams of millions of Americans. Artificial Economics is a silent economic disease. A coming significant devaluation of the dollar is a likely and necessary consequence.
Gas, and imported products (which are most of what you buy) are about to double in price by US Government fiat.

Things are different now. Paper notes are "Federal Reserve" notes and they are not tradeable for any silver or gold coinage at the banks or treasury. Indeed those notes are not even money; they are "instruments of debt". Each Federal Reserve Note represents a unit of debt borrowed from the privately-owned Federal Reserve Banks by the US Government on which interest must be paid. As this article illustrates, the US Government and the Federal Reserve can arbitrarily change the value of those notes at any time. Control of the worth of your money has passed from your hands to the government.

Could genetically modified crops be killing bees?
Three issues in the safety of genetically modified crops
Bees dying of mysterious infection
He had expected to see mites or amoebas, perennial pests of bees. Instead, he found internal organs swollen with debris and strangely blackened. The bees' intestinal tracts were scarred, and their rectums were abnormally full of what appeared to be partly digested pollen. Dark marks on the sting glands were telltale signs of infection.
Okay, so we now rule out mites and amoebic infections. This takes us back to the primary suspect; that artificial genes added to commercial plants to produce a pesticide have crossed over into the digestive bacteria inside the bees, turning their entire digestive system into a pesticide manufacturing plant.
Proof Bees Dying From GM Crops?
I'm on an organic beekeeping list of about 1,000 people, mostly Americans, and no one in the organic beekeeping world, including commercial beekeepers, is reporting colony collapse on this list.
This rules out a mite or a fungus as the cause of colony collapse disorder. Logic tells us that since the fumigants and pesticides being used on the other hives have been around for a while that they too are not the cause of CCD. Hense, we are back to the theory that the artificial gene that produces a pesticide in GM crops has migrated into the digestive bacteria of the bees' (and humans') GI system and has turned those bacteria into pesticide producers.
Taiwan stung by millions of missing bees
Link Between Disappearing Bees and GM Crops?
As far back as 2005, Haefeker ended an article he contributed to the journal Der Kritischer Agrarbericht (Critical Agricultural Report) with an Albert Einstein quote: "If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe then man would only have four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man."
This strikes me as a far more immediate and serious threat than a incr4ease of a tenth of a degree in global temperature 100 years from now. Where is Al Gore and "the cult" on the issue of GM foods' adverse effects on the biopshere?
Fewer bees in GM crops, study finds
The ecological dangers of genetically modified crops remain largely unresolved and a stronger research effort is needed to track possible environmental changes, Australian scientists have warned.
Their comments follow the issuing yesterday in
Note that the companies and scientists who make their living off of GM crops are scrambling to downplay this report.
GM crop taints honey two miles away, test reveals
Genetically Engineered Crops May Produce Herbicide Inside Our Intestines
As bee colonies disappear across the nation, experts are wondering why
This affects more than the price of honey. Many farmers rely on bees to pollinate their plants, so as bees leave, crops will fail the following seasons.
I would suggest correlating the areas where the bees have left with plantings using genetically modified seeds. If those plants don't "taste" right to the bees, that's a good reason for them to seek news homes. Alternatively, look for something that kills only the queen bees, because that will also cause the rest of the hive to disperse and look for other hives to join.

Caution: Some soft drinks may seriously harm your health
A new health scare erupted over soft drinks last night amid evidence they may cause serious cell damage. Research from a British university suggests a common preservative found in drinks such as Fanta and Pepsi Max has the ability to switch off vital parts of DNA.

Online freedoms under threat, says Amnesty
Google, Microsoft and Yahoo are complicit in censoring the Internet, says Amnesty International
Internet repression is eroding freedom of expression online as more governments block sites and arrest bloggers, a human rights group warned today.
Amnesty International said the internet could change beyond all recognition unless action is taken and it called on governments and companies to respect people's right to freedom of expression online.
"The virus of internet repression is spreading. The 'Chinese model' - of an internet that allows economic growth but not free speech or privacy - is growing in popularity, from a handful of countries five years ago to dozens of governments today who block sites and arrest bloggers," said Tim Hancock, UK campaigns director of Amnesty International.
State-sponsored censorship of the internet has increased significantly in recent years, according to a recent study of 41 countries conducted during 2006 and 2007 by the OpenNet Initiative, a consortium of researchers from four major universities, including Harvard and
In a report last month, ONI said at least 25 of the 41 countries it tested were engaged in some form of filtering, where governments block access to specific sites or sites featuring particular words or themes.

-Nouvelles lois aux USA pour taxer et forcer les bloggers à payer pour le traffic sur leurs sites
The era of tax-free e-mail, Internet shopping and broadband connections could end this fall, if recent proposals in the U.S. Congress prove successful. State and local governments this week resumed a push to lobby Congress for far-reaching changes on two different fronts: gaining the ability to impose sales taxes on Net shopping, and being able to levy new monthly taxes on DSL and other Internet-service connections. One senator is even predicting taxes on e-mail.
Would the Founding Fathers have sat still for such taxes?
Folks, we have reached the point of utter ridiculousness. The cash-strapped and broke government is taxing EVERYTHING, even rain!
Net taxes could arrive by this fall

On January 3, 2007, the New York Times ran an editorial entitled "Protecting Internet Democracy". What the Times was referring to, was the need to uphold the "principle of Net Neutrality", the principle according to which Internet service providers (ISPs—essentially mega cable and telephone companies, such as AT&T, Verizon, Bell South, Comcast and other phone and cable giants which own physical infrastructures), should not be able to favor some users over others, because such a power would inevitably lead to censorship.
Indeed, what the giant telecommunications companies would like to obtain from politicians and from the five-person Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is the right to filter content and commercialize the Internet, using broadband lines, and to price-discriminate between users. They would like to obtain the right to charge websites to deliver their content to consumers and to give preferential service to favored clients by setting up special toll booths on the information superhighway. Their purpose is to be able to establish a two-tiered Internet system, with fast high fare lanes and slower lower fare lanes. Net-accessing users who pay hefty fees would have their Web pages delivered on the Internet in the current speedy fashion; other users who do not fork over a ton of cash to the service providers would be relegated to the slow lanes and would be placed at a big disadvantage. In such a system, the big Internet users would have access to exclusive deals and would become bigger, while the individuals, the creators, the innovators and the other small users would remain small or disappear. —Only the richest corporations would have access to the prime bandwidth opened by telecommunications corporations, while other smaller Internet users would be left behind.
The future of Internet radio is in immediate danger. Royalty rates for webcasters have been drastically increased by a recent ruling and are due to go into effect on July 15 (retroactive to Jan 1, 2006!). If the increased rates remain unchanged, the majority of webcasters will go bankrupt and silent on this date. Internet radio needs your help! The Internet Radio Equality Act has recently been introduced in both the House (H.R. 2060) and Senate (S. 1353) to save the Internet radio industry. Please call your senators and your representative to ask them to co-sponsor the Internet Radio Equality Act.
