Nous, citoyens et citoyennes du Québec, déclarons que:
les nombreuses allégations de malversation, de collusion et de corruption à l’endroit du Parti libéral du Québec (PLQ) depuis plus d'un an minent l’image du Québec et la crédibilité de ses institutions;
ces allégations ont mené à une crise politique sans précédent qui a rompu le lien de confiance entre le Gouvernement et la population;
le Gouvernement libéral de Jean Charest a perdu l'autorité morale de gouverner et n’a plus aucune légitimité pour gouverner le Québec.
En conséquence,
nous demandons à tous les membres élus de l'Opposition de cesser les travaux parlementaires, de quitter l'Assemblée nationale et de se joindre à nous, citoyens et citoyennes du Québec, pour exiger la démission du Premier Ministre Jean Charest, la dissolution de l'Assemblée nationale et le déclenchement d'élections générales.
Bombshell: Silverstein Wanted To Demolish Building 7 On 9/11
A Fox News hit piece against Jesse Ventura and the 9/11 truth movement written by former Washington D.C. prosecutor Jeffrey Scott Shapiro inadvertently reveals a shocking truth, that World Trade Center leaseholder Larry Silverstein, who collected nearly $500 million dollars in insurance as a result of the collapse of Building 7, a 47-story structure that was not hit by a plane but collapsed within seven seconds on September 11, was on the phone to his insurance carrier attempting to convince them that the building should be brought down via controlled demolition.
Writing for Fox News, Jeffrey Scott Shapiro states, “I was working as a journalist for Gannett News at Ground Zero that day, and I remember very clearly what I saw and heard.”
“Shortly before the building collapsed, several NYPD officers and Con-Edison workers told me that Larry Silverstein, the property developer of One World Financial Center was on the phone with his insurance carrier to see if they would authorize the controlled demolition of the building – since its foundation was already unstable and expected to fall.”
Larry Silverstein, WTC 7, and the 9/11 Demolition
Consider the facts:
The fires in WTC 7 were not evenly distributed, so a perfect collapse was impossible.
Explosions occurred in WTC 7 before it sustained any damage from the twin towers' collapses.
Silverstein said to the fire department commander "the smartest thing to do is pull it."
Firefighters withdrawing from the area stated the building was going to "blow up".
The building subsequently collapsed perfectly into its footprint.
Molten steel and partially evaporated steel members were found in the debris.

Are school lunches a national security threat?

A study by the group
A report from the group, being released Tuesday, says that 27 percent of Americans ages 17 to 24 are too overweight to join the military.
One of the officers, retired Navy Rear Admiral James Barnett Jr., says many young Americans are simply too fat to fight.

Grandmother's six-month court ordeal for leaving cardboard box next to recycling bin
Lynne Doyle has just been through six months of hell.
The 59-year-old grandmother was interrogated in front of customers at the shop she runs, threatened with a heavy fine and dragged to court to answer for her actions.
Her crime? To wedge a cardboard box between two recycling bins because it was too big to fit in the slot.
Council officers pored over CCTV footage to identify her before accusing her of dumping 'controlled waste'.
It was only when the case finally came to court, and her lawyer advised her to opt for a jury trial, that the local authority suddenly dropped the case.
'They acted as if I dumped a body at the recycling centre, not a cardboard box,' said Mrs Doyle, who runs a fancy-dress shop in Wickford, Essex.
'Why on earth have they got cameras at recycling points? They are quite happy to take photos of law-abiding citizens and use it against them in court but not where fly-tipping is a real problem.
'They are only interested in chasing people when they think they can get money out of them.'
Georgia confirms highly enriched uranium seizure
By DESMOND BUTLER, Associated Press Writer Desmond Butler, Associated Press Writer – Thu Apr 22
Saakashvili gave few details of the seizure during an interview Wednesday with The Associated Press, saying only that the uranium was intercepted last month coming into his country in the Caucasus region of southeast
The Georgian Interior Ministry said a group of foreign nationals had been detained, and the uranium was in a secure location.

The interesting points are that the seizure happened last month and is only now being made public, just in time to deflect the post nuclear summit attention away from

If Pentagon strategists get their way, there will be no place on the planet to hide from such an assault. The plan is part of a program -- in slow development since the 1990s, and now quickly coalescing in military circles -- called Prompt Global Strike. It will begin with modified Tridents. But eventually, Prompt Global Strike could encompass new generations of aircraft and armaments five times faster than anything in the current American arsenal. One candidate: the X-51 hypersonic cruise missile, which is designed to hit Mach 5 -- roughly
The question is whether such an attack can be deployed without triggering World War III: Those tungsten-armed Tridents look, and fly, exactly like the deadliest weapons in the American nuclear arsenal.

Remember what I told you months ago; that before the attack on Iran the US and Israel had to sever the two major land routes by which Russia could support Iran, one through Afghanistan and the other through those tunnels in the Caucasus mountains. Afghanistan is and remains a war zone, and this so-called uranium seizure has provided grounds for President Mikhail Saakashvili to call for an American "Security Presence", meaning US military forces at those tunnels.

Toyota est toujours «l’usine du désespoir»
jeudi 15 avril 2010, par Martine Bulard
Du simple quidam croisé dans la rue aux dirigeants des think-tanks les plus en vue, en passant par des hauts fonctionnaires ou des journalistes, à Tokyo, chacun en arrive peu ou prou à la même conclusion : les Etats-Unis appuient sur l’accélérateur des révélations afin de discréditer Toyota, passé numéro un mondial devant les constructeurs automobiles américains. « “Too big to stay on top” (trop gros pour rester au top), m’assure une jeune journaliste. On savait que les Américains ne resteraient pas sans réagir. » Le témoignage de M. Toyoda Akio, président-directeur général de Toyota, devant le Congrès américain, dont les images sont diffusées en boucle, est souvent vécu comme une humiliation. Le grand quotidien de droite Yomiuri reflète l’opinion générale, en estimant que « Toyota est traité en paria total » (25 février 2010). Et de souligner que General Motors a lui aussi rappelé des voitures défectueuses sans que l’on en fasse une telle histoire.
Ce sentiment a été renforcé par l’annonce d’une amende de 16,4 millions de dollars réclamée par le secrétaire aux transports américain, M. Ray LaHoo, au constructeur japonais. Après la publication dans le magazine Consumer Reports d’une incitation à ne pas acheter le modèle de luxe Lexus GX 460, le groupe a suspendu toutes les ventes de ce véhicule dans le monde et s’annonce prêt à répondre à la campagne de dénigrement systématique. Pour une partie de l’élite nippone, cette offensive rappelle les manœuvres des industriels américains dans les années 1980 (lire Serge Halimi, « Le péril jaune version américaine », « Le Japon méconnu », Manière de voir, n° 105, juin-juillet 2009). D’autres y voient même une pression de Washington sur le gouvernement de M. Hatoyama Yukio, qui refuse toujours d’avaliser le déménagement d’une base militaire américaine sur l’île d’Okinawa.
Chez les travailleurs et chez ceux qui connaissent bien le groupe, ce rappel de voitures n’a rien d’étonnant. Parmi eux, Kamata Satoshi, auteur de Toyota, l’usine du désespoir, enquête au vitriol sur le toyotisme, qui a connu un énorme succès en 1973 au Japon (mais aussi aux Etats-Unis et en France) et a été réédité en français l’an dernier (Demopolis, Paris, 2009). L’écrivain journaliste est archiconnu dans tout le pays pour ses enquêtes sociales détonantes et sa lutte contre les discriminations. Du reste, il nous reçoit dans le local de
« La question du rappel des voitures, déclare t-il, ne date pas du différend américano-japonais sur l’emplacement d’une des nombreuses bases américaines sur notre sol. Entre 2000 et 2005, plus de cinq millions de voitures Toyota ont été rappelées, soit 36 % de toutes les voitures reconnues défectueuses dans le monde – bien plus que la part du groupe dans les ventes mondiales. On constate même une accélération, puisque l’on parle de 8 à 9 millions de voitures rappelées pour l’exercice 2009-2010. » Kamata rappelle qu’à plusieurs reprises, des salariés et de petits syndicats, tel Zen Toyota Rodo, ont alerté sur les dangers que la direction de Toyota faisait courir aux automobilistes « en raison des conditions de fabrication. L’externalisation de la conception et donc la stérilisation des savoir-faire accumulés, la réduction de temps de mise au point des modèles nouveaux, l’augmentation du volume des tâches pour chaque salarié, l’intensification du travail ont conduit à la situation actuelle. Certes, le taux de profit de Toyota a grimpé de plus en plus vite [quatre milliards de dollars en 2009], mais les conditions de travail se sont dégradées. »

Another polar rescue must send chills down spines of alarmists
http://www.heraldsun.com.au/opinion/another-polar-rescue-must-send/story-e6frfhqf-1225856131380
TOM Smitheringale wanted to prove the world was warming. Now he's another alarmist with frostbite.
The 40-year-old from Perth
But
But no one seems to have told Tom, who soon found his extremities freezing.
Two weeks ago he nearly called off his trek after suffering excruciating pain in his fingers and thumbs, forcing him to call in emergency help.
And last week he had to be rescued by Canadian soldiers after falling through the ice sheet.
"(I) came very close to the grave," he said, on being flown out.
This is actually now the fourth year running that warming alarmists have had to be rescued from expeditions to prove the
Last year it was British eco-explorer Pen Hadow and his two-person team who had to be flown out mid-stunt, after battling brutal sub-zero weather conditions that gave the team's photographer frostbite.
The year before, eco-adventurer Lewis Gordon Pugh was similarly thwarted.
He'd planned to kayak
No such luck. Pugh had to pull out, still
The year before gave even more farcical entertainment.
"Explorers and educators" Ann Bancroft and Liv Arnesen said they were off on what reporters described as "a historic 75-day expedition to the North Pole and beyond to raise awareness of global warming's impact on the fragile
It turned out that what was fragile was not the Arctic but the alarmists, who had to call off their big trip not long after it started, when Arnesen suffered frostbite in three of her toes, and extreme cold drained their batteries.
Explained a spokesman: "They were experiencing temperatures that weren't expected with global warming."
Like the globe, really.
The fact is that when Arctic rescuers must save more people from global warming stunts than from global warming itself, it's time to heed again the words of Franklin D. Roosevelt.
"We have nothing to fear but fear itself." So if alarmists settled down, they might just live longer, and keep their toes.
And the rest of us might not be put to so much needless expense. Like rescues, for instance.
