The Uranium Coup  http://globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=17733

'In yet another odd coincidence, Alan Grayson led a Congressional delegation that just happened to be in Niger at the time of the recent military coup last Thursday that deposed the legitimate elected government of the Uranium-rich nation.  

The official story is that the members of Congress were focused on science, technology and humanitarian relief - at the very same time that the military coup was unfolding on the streets of the capital, Niamey. This intriguing "coincidence" raises the question: Was this Congressional presence during a military coup another instance of a massive intelligence failure or something entirely different?'

Millions of Anti-Terror Cash Spent on Luxury London Flats For Police Chiefs http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1252615/ACPO-comes-new-1-6m-used-perks-officers.html

'Britain’s most powerful police body, which is run as a private business, has spent millions of pounds meant for counter-terrorism work on luxury London flats for senior officers. The spending on an undisclosed number of apartments in the Westminster area is understood to be about £1.6million a year.

The money is taken directly from taxpayers’ cash given to the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) by the Home Office to tackle the terrorist threat across Britain.The funding – £33million last year – is supposed to be used to beef up regional police forces’ anti-terrorism response and pay for crucial equipment and facilities. Instead, ACPO’s Terrorism & Allied Matters (TAM) committee, headed by Assistant Commissioner John Yates, has used millions of pounds from the budget to pay for flats.'

Andrew Pask, director of the Vancouver Public Space Network, cautions that CCTV cameras should only be seen as a “tool of last resort.” The pattern of Olympic cities, including Athens, Turin, and Beijing, has been to retain surveillance cameras after the Games.The City of Vancouver has admitted the $435,000 worth of cameras will not be temporary, but part of a “redeployable unit.” “You know, witnessing has always been a fundamental aspect of democracy, involving actors, observers, and recording of incidents,” professor Burk indicates. “But cameras complicate that relationship, because the viewers and actors can be removed from each other, and recordings substantively altered," she said, arguing for a public debate before more cameras are installed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Peru: No Justice for Indians in Amazon Massacre http://upsidedownworld.org/main/news-briefs-archives-68/2372-peru-no-justice-for-indians-in-amazon-massacre-

comment-the indigenous communities in south ameirca but elsewhere around world as well are being displaced,erhnically cleansed,killed,massacred,tortured,and poisoned,by  their governments and their masters the multinationals,all under the guise of ''economic development'',as you will see in next articles below.This is because of northern countries over consumption patterns and addiction that must be met in order to maintain their unsustainable standard of living.These governments that favor neoliberal policies(plundering)are same nations that developed nations call''democratic'',whereas those wich protect the rights of natives and enviroment are ''hostile or authoritarian'' yes the world is upside down!!!!

The Schlock Doctrine http://usa.mediamonitors.net/content/view/full/71725

"The state of emergency established by Bush neoconservatives has been extended by Obama neoliberals to help the market create more schlock for everyone else to consume. More than 700 foreign bases with more than a quarter million troops employed by taxpayers to maintain an imperial order that threatens to crumble on our heads, and we are urged to continue shopping for success that insures failure.

As our imperial stature declines the worst aspects of consumption culture show more hazardous and contradictory qualities. Our programmed fascination for new goods to replace old commodities has long been a social pathology in a system that breeds mental divisions among individuals to deny the existence of social structure. This, while it simultaneously rots the material foundation of that structure. We are now consuming more garbage then ever even as we attempt to stop the flow of sewage into our life support systems.

Is Halliburton injecting diesel fuel into your drinking water? http://motherjones.com/blue-marble/2010/02/halliburton-natural-gas-industry-fracking

Is Halliburton injecting diesel fuel into your drinking water? According to documents from a congressional investigation released yesterday, the oil and gas giant in 2008 admitted to using more than 807,000 gallons of diesel-based chemicals in fluids used for hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, a method that uses a high-pressure blast of chemical compounds, sand, and water to fracture rock and access natural gas reserves.

In response to an investigation by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee released yesterday, Halliburton and BJ Services, another major oil field services company, reported using other toxic chemicals like benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene in fracking fluids. Even though the natural gas industry is exempt from the Safe Drinking Water Act, it's still required to limit the amount of diesel used in fracturing, under a December 2003 agreement with the Environmental Protection Agency. Halliburton and BJ Services appear to have violated the agreement, according to yesterday's disclosure.

Brazil is naked! Soybean monoculture-the grain that grew too much http://www.scribd.com/Brazil-is-naked-The-advance-of-soybean-monoculture-the-grain-that-grew-too-much/d/26788507

This is a comprehensive report written by FASE (Federation of Organizations for Social and Educational Action) in Brazil. It relays the terrible price being paid gy the farmers of Brazil in seeing soy turned into a monoculture crop in an industrialized agricultural world. Millions of tons of soybeans which required an abundance of virtual water to priduce and ship which in the longrun have been bought at a high ecological, social, and economic price.

Begin's grandson: 'murderous blood flows in Israeli arteries' http://www.paltelegraph.com/diaries/featured-articles/4146-begins-grandson-q

"Murderous blood flows in Israeli arteries," says the grandson of former Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin.Avindav Begin, who is also the son of the current Likud Knesset member Benny Begin, refuses to stand during the Israeli national anthem "Hatikva" and participates in protests against the Apartheid Wall. He does not see himself as a Jew or a Zionist and believes that his grandfather did not make real peace with Egypt.

He also is not worried about being the target of rotten eggs after his inflammatory interview with Israeli newspaper Yediot Aharonot.The newspaper asked him:Do you raise Israel's flag on its independence day?I do not raise any flag, either the flag of Israel or the flag of Palestine.Do you stand when they sing "Hatikva"?No, because it makes no sense in my view.Why do you live in Israel, then?My family, sisters and brothers and friends are here.

How do you feel about the 700 people who were killed in the 1982 war that was initiated by Israel and led by your grandfather?There were actually 30,000 Lebanese and Palestinians killed, mostly unarmed people who cannot be compared with Israeli soldiers because the people did not fight at all. I think that there is no need for any war, including the War of Nov. 6, 1973.

Israel unveils new drone fleet that can reach Iran http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/M/ML_ISRAEL_DRONES?SITE=FLTAM&SECTION=HOME

Israel's air force on Sunday introduced a fleet of huge pilotless planes that can remain in the air for a full day and fly as far as the Persian Gulf, putting rival Iran within its range.

The Heron TP drones have a wingspan of 86 feet (26 meters), making them the size of Boeing 737 passenger jets and the largest unmanned aircraft in Israel's military. The planes can fly at least 20 consecutive hours and are primarily used for surveillance and carrying diverse payloads.

comment-But if Iran develops a weapon that can reach Israel it will be attacked.

U.S. Attempts to Erase Haitian Nationhood http://uruknet.info/index.php?p=m63434&hd=&size=1&l=e

'Proud Haiti has been reduced to a de facto "protectorate" of the United States – a grotesque form of non-sovereignty in which the subjugated nation is "protected" by its worst enemy. Namibia under white-ruled South African administration comes to mind, although in Haiti’s case the United Nations does not even pretend to be on the side of the oppressed, acting instead as agent and enforcer for the superpower.'

Destabilization in the North Caucasus: Georgian President Saakashvili 'Ready for New War'? http://globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=17718

'Georgia’s President Mikhail Saakashvili and his supporters are ready to start a new war and plunge the country into chaos again. A statement to that effect came from the leader of the opposition “Democratic Movement – United Georgia” Party, ex-Speaker of parliament Nino Burdjanadze. 

The party’s statements circulated on Saturday say the Georgian parliament is acting behind Russia’s back preparing an address to the people and legislatures of North Caucasian republics which may destabilize the situation in the North Caucasus given the current circumstances. The opposition statements say Saakashvili is pushing the country into war because he is fully aware that his days as president are over but he prefers to be expelled by Russia rather than toppled by the people of Georgia.' ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
