False Flag Cyber Attack Could Takedown The Internet - Billion dollar cybersecurity industry at the forefront of Top Secret America complex Steve Watson
Prisonplanet.com Wednesday, Jul 21st, 2010

An increasing clamour to restrict and control the internet on behalf of the government, the Pentagon, the intelligence community and their private corporate arms, could result in a staged cyber attack being used as justification.Over recent months we have seen a great increase in media coverage of inflated fears over a possible electronic Pearl Harbor event, with reports claiming that the U.S. could be felled within 15 minutes.Vastly over-hyped (and in some cases completely asinine) claims that the power grids and other key infrastructure such as rail networks and water sources are wired up to the public internet have permeated such coverage.

Threats against computer networks in the United States are grossly exaggerated. Dire reports issued by the Defense Science Board and the Center for Strategic and International Studies are usually richer in vivid metaphor — with fears of digital Pearl Harbors and cyber-Katrinas — than in factual foundation, writes Evgeny Morozov, a respected researcher and blogger who writes on the political effects of the internet.Morozov notes that much of the data on the supposed cyber threat are gathered by ultra-secretive government agencies — which need to justify their own existence — and cyber-security companies — which derive commercial benefits from popular anxiety.When the Cybersecurity Act was introduced by Senator John Rockefeller last year, he made similar claims about the threat of cyber attacks, adding Would it have been better if we’d have never invented the Internet?.

Rockefeller’s legislation gives the president the ability to declare a cybersecurity emergency and shut down or limit Internet traffic in any critical information network in the interest of national security. The bill does not define a critical information network or a cybersecurity emergency. That definition would be left to the president, according to a Mother Jones report.Provisions in the bill would allow the federal government, via the DHS and the NSA, to tap into any digital aspect of every citizen’s information without a warrant. Banking, business and medical records would be wide open to inspection, as well as personal instant message and e mail communications – all in the name of heading off cyber attacks on the nation.

Enhancements of such provisions are contained in the more recent Protecting Cyberspace as a National Asset Act, which is being pushed hard by Senator Joe Lieberman. The bill would hand absolute power to the federal government to close down networks, and block incoming Internet traffic from certain countries under a declared national emergency.An accompanying cybersecurity control grid would only create greater risk according to experts who note that it would essentially establish a path for the bad guys to skip down. Other countries, such as Australia and the UK are following suit.The program dovetails with the Pentagon’s newly created Cyber Command, headed by Keith B Alexander, the acting head of the NSA and the man behind the massive program of illegal dragnet surveillance of domestic communications since at least 2001.During the Senate Armed Services Committee confirmation hearing, Alexander said the Pentagon’s Cyber Command would enjoy significant synergy with the NSA. We have to show what we’re doing to ensure that we comport, comply with the laws, said Alexander, perversely claiming the agency is respecting and protecting the privacy of the American people.The Pentagon considers cyberspace a warfighting domain equal to land, sea, air and space. In 2003, the Pentagon classified the internet as an enemy weapons system requiring a robust offensive suite of capabilities to include full-range electronic and computer network attack. It has spent Billions of dollars building a super secret National Cyber Range in order to prepare for Dominant Cyber Offensive Engagement, which translates as control over any and all computers. The program has been dubbed The Electronic Manhattan Project.

The enemy is never specifically named, it is merely whoever uses the net, because the enemy IS the net. The enemy is the freedom the net provides to billions around the globe and the threat to militaristic dominance of information and the ultimate power that affords.These initiatives represent a continuation of the so called Comprehensive National Cybersecurity Initiative, created via a secret presidential order in 2008 under the Bush administration. former National Intelligence Director Mike McConnell announced that the NSA’s warrantless wiretaps would be a walk in the park compared to this,.This is going to be a goat rope on the Hill McConnell said. My prediction is that we’re going to screw around with this until something horrendous happens.As we have previously reported, large corporations such as Google, AT&T, Facebook and Yahoo to name but a few are intimately involved in the overarching program. Those corporations have specific government arms that are supplying the software, hardware and tech support to US intelligence agencies in the process of creating a vast closed source database for global spy networks to share information.Clearly the implications of this program for the open and free internet, and for liberty in general are very worrying, this has been reflected in the resistance and criticism from groups such as the Electronic Frontier Foundation.In light of this, there is a real danger of a hyped or completely staged cyber attack being propagated in order to bring the issue to public attention and counter the critics who have exposed it as a part of the agenda to restrict the Internet.In 2008 Stanford Law professor Lawrence Lessig detailed such ongoing government plans for overhaul and restriction.Lessig told attendees of a high profile Tech conference that There’s going to be an i-9/11 event which will act as a catalyst for a radical reworking of the law pertaining to the internet.

Lessig said that he came to that conclusion following a conversation with former government Counter Terrorism Czar Richard Clarke, who informed him that there is already in existence a cyber equivalent of the Patriot Act, an i-Patriot Act if you will, and that the Justice Department is just waiting for a cyber terrorism event in order to implement its provisions.Lessig is the founder of Stanford Law School’s Center for Internet and Society. He is founding board member of Creative Commons and is a board member of the Software Freedom Law Center. He is best known as a proponent of reduced legal restrictions on copyright, trademark and radio frequency spectrum, particularly in technology applications.These are clearly not the ravings of some paranoid cyber geek.Though Richard Clarke advocates an enhancement of cyber security, even he has stated that it would be a terrible idea to allow the government to regulate and filter the internet.We have also recently seen multiple mock attacks conducted by the government, via private outsourcing, on it’s own infrastructure systems. On such exercise, called We Were Warned: Cyber Shockwave, involved Former Department of Homeland Security secretary Michael Chertoff and former CIA deputy director John McLaughlin taking the roles of government leaders. CNN broadcast the entire simulation on prime time television.

AND THE OTHER ISSUE WE MUST KEEP ON THE TABLE AND IN PEOPLES MEMORY IS THAT BARRY SOETORO IS REALLY BARACK OBAMAS REAL NAME AND HE WAS BORN IN KENYA NOT AMERICA.BARRY SOETORO AKA BARACK OBAMA IS NOT ELLIGABLE TO BE THE PRESIDENT OF THE USA GOVERNMENT.EVERYTHING HE SIGNS IN BARACK OBAMA IS ILLEGEL,BECAUCE HIS REAL NAME IS BARRY SOETORO.AMERICAS CONSTITUTION WILL BE IN SHAMBLES ONCE THIS SCAM IS FINALLY REVEALED TO THE WORLD.

BY THE TIMELINE IN OBAMAS OWN BOOKS-OBAMA WENT TO PAKISTAN ON HIS INDONESIAN PASSPORT.ANOTHER ISSUE OUT OF 400 PEOPLE AT COLUMBIA THAT GRADUATED THE YEAR OBAMA OR BARRY SOETORO DID,NO ONE COMES FORWARD TO SAY THEY KNEW HIM.HOW COME AT HAWAII HOSPITAL WERE OBAMA CLAIMS HE WAS BORN,NO NURSES OR ANYBODY CAME FORWARD TO SAY THEY WITNESSED OR TOOK PART IN THE BIRTH.THIS BARRY SOETORO OR AKA BARACK OBAMAS LIFE IS A COMPLETE FRAUD.AND AMERICA IS CONNED TO BELIEVE THE LIE.WHY WOULD SOETORO AKA OBAMA SPEND 2 MILLION DOLLARS TO STOP ALL THESE LAWSUITS IF THERES NO COVERUP.HE WOULD JUST SHOW THE PROOF OF EACH EVENT-PLACE OF BIRTH,CERTIFICATE AND REAL NAME BARRY SOETORO INDONESIAN PASSPORT.

The proof is everywhere from statements and affidavits from Government parliament sources and Obama’s own Grandmother who says she saw him born in a hospital in Mombassa Kenya. The former ambassador to Kenya says Obama was born in Mombassa Kenya, so do others. Check out the affidavits at www.obamacrimes.com and join Phil Berg and other concerned citizens for a huge eligibility protest march May 29th 12-4pm.

HERES A PERFECT WAY OF HOW OBAMA IS WORSHIPPED BY LIBERAL-GODLESS DEMOCRATES AND HOW HE IS USING THEM THEN WILL SPIT THEM OUT AND EAT THEM ALIVE.

THE SHEEP=OBAMA WORSHIPPERS(FOLLOWERS)
THE WOLF=OBAMA

WE START OUT WITH THE SHEEP PURRING AT THE FOOT OF THE WOLF AND SAYING SUCH GOOD THINGS ABOUT HIM,COVERING UP FOR HIM AND SAYING MESSIAH FRAUD WE LOVE YOU.MEANWHILE THE WOLF OBAMA IS DROOLING READY TO EAT THE SHEEP AND SPIT OUT THE BONES.AND THE WORSHIPPING SHEEP IS SAYING OBaaaaaaaaaaaaaaMA,OBaaaaaaaaaaaaaMA.

Obama Must be Impeached: He’s Either Incompetent, or Purposely Failing
By Kelly O'Connell Sunday, July 18, 2010

Is there a single American who secretly thinks Obama’s up to the task of the presidency? Or, does anyone believe Barack does not take bad situations and worsen them to magnify his power? These are rhetorical questions, of course. The only way Barack is an acceptable president is if you’re an opponent of America’s greatest achievements.Therefore, if you support Obama it means you want to revolutionize the US. But no democratic country knowingly elects leaders to debase their country, give away power, bankrupt the treasury, incorporate socialism, dissolve constitutional rights, cripple capitalism, and menace every citizen with reckless policies. That would be ridiculous and anti-American. Barack has done all these things. Therefore, he must be impeached.Obama’s habit of casually blaming all problems on the sins of his predecessor recalls a quote by Joseph Conrad, The belief in a supernatural source of evil is not necessary; men alone are quite capable of every wickedness. Similarly, Barack has revealed enough willful stupidity, ignorance, and crafty sabotage to explain every lingering crisis in America; he no longer need invoke the Devil Bush.Probably most persons presently believe the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue can’t be impeached for anything he has done. Those persons would be wrong. According to a recent book, The Federal Impeachment Process: A Constitutional and Historical Analysis, by Michael J. Gerhardt, impeachment is ultimately a political question which cannot be framed off a simple criminal analysis. This essay offers a brief overview of the federal impeachment process and proposes an analysis of Obama’s actions which place them into the impeachable category.

I. General Impeachment Process
Impeachment, according to the ABA website: Is a process, authorized by the Constitution, to bring charges against certain officials of the federal government for misconduct while in office.The standard route that an impeachment follows is well-established. Here is a brief explanation from the Legal Information Institute:

The process roughly resembles a grand jury inquest, conducted by the House, followed by a full-blown trial, conducted by the Senate with the Chief Justice presiding. Impeachment is not directed exclusively at Presidents. The Constitutional language, all civil officers, includes such positions as Federal judgeships. The legislature, however, provides a slightly more streamlined process for lower offices by delegating much of it to committees. See Nixon v. US, 506 U.S. 224 (1993)(involving removal of a Federal judge). Presidential impeachments involve the full, public participation of both branches of Congress.

The Impeachment Process in a Nutshell
1.The House Judiciary Committee deliberates over whether to initiate an impeachment inquiry.
2.The Judiciary Committee adopts a resolution seeking authority from the entire House of Representatives to conduct an inquiry. Before voting, the House debates and considers the resolution. Approval requires a majority vote.
3.The Judiciary Committee conducts an impeachment inquiry, possibly through public hearings. At the conclusion of the inquiry, articles of impeachment are prepared. They must be approved by a majority of the Committee.
4.The House of Representatives considers and debates the articles of impeachment. A majority vote of the entire House is required to pass each article. Once an article is approved, the President is, technically speaking, impeached—that is subject to trial in the Senate.
5.The Senate holds trial on the articles of impeachment approved by the House. The Senate sits as a jury while the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court presides over the trial.
6.At the conclusion of the trial, the Senate votes on whether to remove the President from office. A two-thirds vote by the Members present in the Senate is required for removal.
7.If the President is removed, the Vice-President assumes the Presidency under the chain of succession established by Amendment XXV.

II. Reasons for Impeachment
A. Political Crimes
Gerhardt’s book The Federal Impeachment Process: A Constitutional and Historical Analysis, is an excellent source to begin analyzing the proper foundation of impeachment. Gerhardt’s work arguably centers on chapter 9, titled The Scope Of Impeachable Offenses.He sums up the issue: The major disagreement is not over whether impeachable offenses should be strictly limited to indictable crimes, but rather over the range of non-indictable offenses on which an impeachment may be based.In other words, outside of a clear instance of serious crime, the question of whether an official can be impeached rests upon one question. This is—What kinds of acts, which would not normally lead to an arrest, could still form a basis for an impeachment? Gerhardt’s study focuses upon the fact that impeachment is inevitably a political undertaking, as understood by how the old British system viewed the term political.Raoul Berger, in his Impeachment: The Constitutional Problems, studied instances of impeachment procedure occurring before the US Constitution was written. He found the British viewed the process as involving high crimes and misdemeanors as a category of political crimes against the state.Further, Berger isolated the use of political,in this sense, and against the state as being identical in meaning. In essence, when the Brits called an action politically suspect,it was meant as an injury to the state, that is—an attack against England.William Blackstone, chronicler of the British common law, differentiates high treason from low treason, the latter being disloyalty to an equal or lesser. So high treason was disloyalty to a superior person or entity. According to Arthur Bestor, this differentiation between high and low treason was a key concept to understand for a proper impeachment analysis. Bestor describes how a fair impeachment proceeding would be founded upon a profound assault to the state itself.

The American constitutional Framers understood this difference between high and low treason, according to Gerhardt, believing impeachment dealt with high treasons in the form of attacks against the state. For example, Signator George Mason felt impeachments should be limited to acts that attempt to subvert the Constitution, among which he felt should include maladministration. While James Madison felt this term was too vague, Gerhardt claims all the Founders believed impeachment was not simply a process to deal with straightforward crimes. He writes, In short, the debates at the constitutional convention show at least that impeachable offenses were not limited to indictable offenses, but included offenses against the state.The ratification debates on the Constitution certainly compassed beyond mere crimes as reason for impeachment. Great offenses included when an executive deviates from his duty or that he dare to abuse the power vested in him by the people. Framer, Signator and First US Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton wrote upon this topic in Federalist 65, writing:A well-constituted court for the trial of impeachments is an object not more to be desired than difficult to be obtained in a government wholly elective. The subjects of its jurisdiction are those offenses which proceed from the misconduct of public men, or, in other words, from the abuse or violation of some public trust. They are of a nature which may with peculiar propriety be denominated POLITICAL, as they relate chiefly to injuries done immediately to the society itself. The prosecution of them, for this reason, will seldom fail to agitate the passions of the whole community, and to divide it into parties more or less friendly or inimical to the accused. In many cases it will connect itself with the pre-existing factions, and will enlist all their animosities, partialities, influence, and interest on one side or on the other; and in such cases there will always be the greatest danger that the decision will be regulated more by the comparative strength of parties, than by the real demonstrations of innocence or guilt.

Founder, Signator and US Supreme Court Justice James Wilson agreed with Hamilton’s assessment, calling impeachable offenses… political crimes and misdemeanors. Harvard Constitutional scholar and US Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story—and impeachment authority—agreed, according to the record in Proceedings in the Cases of the Impeachment of Charles Robinson, et al… He wrote,The subject (of impeachment) is full of intrinsic difficulty in a government purely elective. The jurisdiction is to be exercised over offenses which are committed by public men in violation of their public trusts and duties. Those duties are, in many cases, political; and, indeed, in other cases, to which the power of impeachment will probably be applied…the power partakes of a political character… Political injuries to be of such kinds of misdeeds…as to peculiarly injure the commonwealth by the abuse of high offices of trust.Justice Story also stated that a particular action did not have to have a previously existing law against the impeachable offense, writing ...no previous statute is necessary to authorize an impeachment for any official misconduct. This was considered crucial since no exhaustive statutes could ever be drafted so well as to foresee every single future event threatening the Republic. He said, Political offenses are of so various and complex a character, so utterly incapable of being defined, or classified, that the task of positive legislation would be impracticable, if it were not absurd to attempt it.According to Gerhardt, this means Story and Hamilton agreed future generations would have to define on a case-by-case basis the political crimes comprising impeachable offenses to replace the federal common law of crimes that never developed.

B. Non-Indictable Impeachable Offenses
The hardest category for impeachments is defining actions that are not obvious crimes, but reveal such a lack of character or such ill-will or indifference to America’s safety that they become impeachable offenses, ipso facto. Lawrence Tribe, in his American Constitutional Law mentions some such examples, writing ...a deliberate presidential decision to emasculate our national defenses or to conduct a private war in circumvention of the Constitution could form the basis for a non-indictable, impeachable action against the state. Now, simple un-indictable crimes such as jaywalking, smoking in a restaurant, or failing to use a turn signal are examples of actions that would not support an impeachment.

III. Do Obama’s Crimes Rise to Impeachment?
Do any of Obama’s actions rise to the level of his being impeached? Following are Barack acts that various persons believe are illegal, treasonous, or clearly impeachable. (Forgive the omission of many other serious Obama offenses)

A. Environmental Disaster
Gulf Oil Spill: Barack could have moved much more quickly to sop up the oil in the Gulf. His actions were obviously dilatory, especially refusing foreign aid and not using, to this day, 4 months after the spill started, all of America’s 2,000 oil skimmers. How many millions of gallons of petroleum did this add to Louisiana’s and Mississippi’s and Alabama’s fragile wetlands? And Obama is dedicated to the environment? Please! Barack also battled various governors when they tried to protect their states, like LA’s Bobby Jindal, a potential future political opponent. This ridiculous foot-dragging greatly exaggerated the oil pollution’s effects, presumably to strengthen Barack’s political hand against future petroleum use. In fact, one could claim Obama is the least environmentally sound US president ever. So, does this rise to an impeachable offense? See how Incompetence has turned the Gulf oil tragedy into Obama‚Äôs Katrina.

B. Economic Failure
1.Socialism: Socialism is not an American ideology because it destroys capitalism, which the Founders chose as our model. But we know Obama opposes this when he said to Joe the Plumber: I think when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.
2.Government Bailouts: The Constitution protects private property, especially the Contracts Clause. Obama’s people unfairly favored the unions in the Detroit auto bailout, breaking this clause. Further, Obama had no mandate to bailout Detroit in general.
3.Stimulus Lies: Barack said if the Stimulus was not passed the economy would tank (some disagreed), despite not having helped draft it or even knowing what was in the bill. Stimulus Bill Too Lengthy to Read—But Not To Sign. Is a president touting a bill he doesn’t know impeachable conduct?
4.Unparalleled Deficit Spending: Just because Keynes had a theory about deficit spending does not make this the answer to all problems. Barack seems to wantonly waste money. Why? Plus, it would appear a great deal of TARP/bailout/stimulus money has been stolen, undoubtedly given for political gifts. Is this not, at least, impeachable?
5.Obama is demanding Cap’n-Trade, even after Global Warming has been proved a hoax. That’s theft.
6.Reason Magazine Lists Obama’s Five Lies About the American Economy

C. Republican Form of Government Under Attack
1.Representative Government: The Declaration of Independence says: Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed… Yet Obama continually passes legislation without support of a majority, like Obamacare. Is this impeachable conduct?
2.Attempts to Throw Out Filibuster. God forbid anything in the US government not be based upon pure democracy so to make it easier for mob rule! Read about Biden’s hypocrisy!

D. Sovereignty
1.Should America hand over sovereignty to world bodies? America cedes sovereignty at Copenhagen?
2.Should Obama honor deals made with our allies? Canceling Polish Missiles for Russia
3.Should Barack bow to every despot in the world? If so, why? Bowing to Foreign Leadership.
4.Should Obama use foreign leaders as proxies to attack American state’s policies? Obama Brings Foreign Leaders to Talk Down America

E. Political Crimes
Can the White House dictate who runs for office?

1.Did WH Sestak Cabinet offer break law? Was Sestak offered a job to not run? Is that election tampering?
2.Did the WH break the law when CO’s Romanof was offered a job to drop out?
3.Did Obama try to get Valerie Jarret in his old senate seat?
4.Where did Obama’s Internet election millions come from?
5.Isn’t appointing un-vetted, Marxist czars simple un-American? Isn’t it impeachable?

F. Bill of Rights
1.Free Speech. Obama thugs were disrupting town hall meetings before the Obamacare vote. Also, Obama has a problem with free speech he’d like the Court to address. And Elena Mister Kagan, Obama’s candidate for the SCOTUS opening, thinks free speech should be curtailed.
2.Property Right: Obama salivates on thinking of wealth redistribution!
3.Internet Freedom: Obama plans to limit free speech on the Net and now will have a kill switch to turn it off during emergencies.
4.Religious Freedom: Some critics don’t think Obama cares about any religious freedom but Islamic.

G. Supporting Global Democracy:
Bearing in mind American policy was always to support greater global freedom and democracy, to make the world better and safer, should Obama unilaterally change this policy? Isn’t that impeachable?

1.Obama is an enormous critic of Israel, our closest ally in the Middle East. But Barack claims Israelis don’t like him because of his Muslim name, as opposed to his dreadful policies!
2.Barack refused to take a strong stand against the Iranian democracy crackdown. Why? Doesn’t Obama care about Iranian freedom advocates?
3.Obama refused to stand up for Honduran constitutionalism. But why not? Isn’t he a US constitutional scholar? Barack even terminated aid to Honduras for defending their constitution!

H. Illegal Immigration
1.Obama refuses to strongly support border security, despite grave dangers.
2.But when individual states act to stop illegal entries, Barack attacks their laws and sues them.
3.Barack lashes out self-righteously against the law which mirrors his own federal statutes.
4.Obama’s dense attorney general also rages, despite admitting never having read the law.

I. Pro Islam
1.Obama is Refusing to Call Jihadists Muslim Terrorists. Barack believes if he is “polite” to murderous Islam they will leave us alone.
2.Using NASA to Help Islam. This may be Barack’s all-time craziest idea: Announce the American’s space program’s real mission is to help promote Islam. Wow!
3.Obama once practiced Islam, according to Islam expert Daniel Pipes.

J. Honesty, Religion & Political Beliefs
Barack has transparently lied about many important topics. Is being a habitual liar impeachable?

1.Obama religious beliefs: His 20-year minister Rev Wright is a Marxist radical who hates Whites and Jews. Note the emergence of President Obama’s Muslim Roots.
2.Obama’s political views: He used to be a garden variety Marxist at Occidental College! More… In an interview with Dr John C. Drew, Obama was described as a vain, stylish, gay socialist who hung out with another male student who footed his bills.
3.Barack says he’s not a socialist, but he only makes government bigger and more expensive.

IV Bonus Section: Barack Birth Certificate
I don’t claim to know where Barack Obama was born. But the fact the guy cannot produce an original birth certificate, yet refuses to admit this obvious fact—is strange. I mean, why does he post a replacement certificate online as if it were the original? That’s an idiotic maneuver. Further, wasting millions of tax payer of dollars fighting Birther lawsuits gives one no confidence in his origins.But the real importance of the Birther movement is to continually highlight the very alien nature of Obama, and how opposed he is to everything traditionally American. Undoubtedly, the desire to fend off strange and un-American personalities who did not grow up in the US and therefore cannot hope to identify with our history of rugged individualism and freedom-loving ways was key to the Founders not allowing foreign-born presidents. And Obama is an alien to American ideals and freedoms, regardless of where he was born.

Conclusion
Should Obama be impeached? Each reader must work through the issues for themselves on this key question. The argument for doing so is to protect America, knowing each successive day Barack stays in office, is another day of rape, humiliation and plunder of this great land. It seems certain Obama is at least a socialist, and further, a lawless individual who will do anything he wants to break America’s institutions to force Americans into accepting Marxism. Undoubtedly, he believes he would be helping the world to do so. But sincerity does not cure the great harm he is inflicting by his socialist delusions.Therefore, because Barack is clearly doing many things to unilaterally harm and change America towards more socialism, and perhaps communism—he must be impeached. This is not just for purposely sabotaging our economy like a good Marxist, but for the wicked human rights disasters that have occurred in all far-leftist countries. Further, we can see quite clearly if a US president is obviously trying to harm America, for whatever reason, they can be impeached based upon the historic meaning of the process. All we need conclude is the president is doing a political attack—that is a purposeful assault against the US to harm the country. And Obama surely is doing so.

But we must wait for the November 2010 elections and see the fear in Democrat eyes, after they suffer historic defeat, and then pounce on the opportunity to drive this leftist maniac from power forever. We may never have another chance to save the home of global freedom. As Reagan once said, Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again. - Ronald Reagan, from his first inaugural speech as governor of California, January 5, 1967.Thank you and shalom.Kelly

Tropical storm heads to China as flood toll hits 700
JULY 21,10

BEIJING (Reuters) – Southern China is bracing for its second powerful storm in less than a week, as the death toll from floods and landslides caused by torrential rain climbed beyond 700 with hundreds of others reported missing.Tropical storm Chanthu is expected to make landfall in Guangdong and Hainan provinces on Thursday, and it may pick up force while over the South China Sea. The government has advised people to stay indoors, the official Xinhua news agency said.Typhoon Conson skirted the resort island of Hainan last week, killing two people, before heading into Vietnam.

Much of southern and central China has been suffering flooding and landslides after weeks of torrential downpours.At least 701 people have died since the start of the year as a result of the rains, and another 347 are missing, the government said on Wednesday.The scale of the devastation, with more rain forecast, has raised fear of another mass disaster on the scale of the 1998 Yangtze River floods. But Liu Ning, vice minister of water resources, said that should not happen.China is far better prepared than in 1998, when more than 4,000 people died, and the overall water volume is not as high although some rivers have risen above the peak of that year.

Middle and downstream water levels are actually one meter lower compared with 1998, though some sections and lakes are approaching or have exceeded warning levels,he told a news conference on efforts to fight the flood.But in 1998 water levels on the whole of the Yangtze River exceeded flood parameters, which lasted for more than 30 days.Since then dikes have been improved and the massive Three Gorges dam completed. Only a few dikes have failed, unlike in 1998 when thousands did, Liu said.Since 1998, 29 projects have been completed, which have come in great use in this year's flood prevention work,he added.The Three Gorges dam was given the go-ahead by the government in 1992, against unusually visible domestic opposition -- with environmentalists warning the reservoir could turn into a cesspool of raw sewage and industrial chemicals trapped behind the dam.The government justified its decision to push ahead by citing massive clean power generation and flood control. If it fails in the latter task it will add to concerns about the dam's overall cost and impact.

Strong 6.3-magnitude quake hits Papua New Guinea
Tue Jul 20, 5:20 pm ET

PORT MORESBY (AFP) – Papua New Guinea was hit Wednesday by a 6.3-magnitude earthquake, geologists said, though no destructive tsunami was expected and no immediate damage was reported.The quake hit at 5:18 am (1918 GMT Tuesday), 130 kilometres (81 miles) northeast of Kandrian on New Britain Island at a depth of 36 kilometres, the US Geological Survey said, revising the location and an earlier estimate of 6.6 magnitude.The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said that, based on historical data, there was no immediate threat of a widespread destructive tsunami.

But a bulletin from the centre added:Earthquakes of this size sometimes generate local tsunamis that can be destructive along coasts located within 100 kilometres (62 miles) of the earthquake epicentre.Authorities in the region of the epicentre should be aware of this possibility and take appropriate action.Geoscience Australia measured the tremor at 6.5 magnitude with a depth of 60 kilometres.Just over an hour later the same region was hit by a 5.6-magnitude aftershock 40 kilometres deep, revised down from an earlier estimate of 5.9-magnitude.Papua New Guinea, which is mired in poverty despite rich mineral deposits, sits on the so-called Pacific Ring of Fire, a hotspot for seismic activity due to friction between tectonic plates.

Two quakes with magnitudes of 7.3 and 6.9 hit the same area and at around the same depth on Sunday.Aftershocks can continue over a period of weeks, months or years, the USGS said on its website.In general, the larger the main shock, the larger and more numerous the aftershocks, and the longer they will continue.

Subsidised coal mines to be closed in 2014
MATEJ HRUSKA Today JJULY 21,10 @ 09:46 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - The European Commission on Tuesday (20 March) said loss-making mines in the EU must be closed down by autumn 2014.Rules coming into force in January will only allow state subsidies to be given to hard-coal (anthracite) mines if closure plans are in place. The closure plans will have to ensure that the mines are shut down by 15 October, 2014, at the latest.Companies need to be viable without subsidies. This is a question of fairness vis à vis competitors that operate without state aid. This is also in the interest of taxpayers and of government finances that are considerably constrained,said EU competition commissioner Joaquin Almunia.The member states concerned - the move predominantly affects Germany's Ruhr region, north-west Spain and Poland - will be able to monitor the implementation of the closure plans. The subsidies will decrease over time, with a reduction of at least 33percent per fifteen-month period, the commission said.If loss-making mines are not closed by 15 October 2014, the aid will have to be paid back.Instead of subsidising the companies, states should focus on the social and environmental consequences of the closure and training of the mines workers for other jobs, the commission says.

Spanish commissioner Joaquin Almunia had originally proposed that the aid could continue to be paid until 2023, but in the end, the decision on the proposal was taken unanimously,a commission spokesperson said. The original 2023 date was opposed by Connie Hedegaard and Janez Potocnik, the commissioners for climate action and environment.Poland accounts for more than half of the EU's hard-coal production. The other half is produced by Germany, the UK, the Czech Republic and Spain. Around 100,000 people in Europe work in the sector - 42,000 in the coal sector itself and over 55,000 in related industries.Total aid to the hard coal sector in the EU was €2.9 billion in 2008. The proposal will now be discussed by member states and the European Parliament.

Commission plugs nuclear fission funding hole with EU research cash
LEIGH PHILLIPS Today JULY 21,10 @ 09:21 CET

An international project aimed at creating nuclear fission energy that has met with runaway construction costs will receive a fresh injection of cash from the EU, with the European Commission diverting millions in research monies and other EU spending to plug the funding hole.The cost of building the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (Iter), a magnetic confinement fission research project located in Cadarache, France, that is intended to provide a bridge between the lab and electricity-producing fusion power plants of the future, has expanded considerably since plans were first mooted.If successful, nuclear fission is the perfect new energy source, as the process, the same as that which powers the sun, is produce from a fuel source that will not run out, is safe and does not produce radioactive waste or earth-warming carbon dioxide.But costs have soared far beyond original projects, to €16 billion at a time of draconian austerity measures almost everywhere, with the EU's share of the bill doubling.With EU member states unwilling to pay up, the commission has filled a €1.4 billion spending gap for 2012-13 by raiding the research funding budget.Some €460 million will redirected from the union's research programme and another €940 million will come from unspecified unspent EU funds.

Iter can provide a safe, clean and inexhaustible source of energy for the future, said budget commissioner Janusz Lewandowski and research commissioner Maire Geoghegan-Quinn in a statement announcing the budgetary move.This is an immense prize.Despite its clean credentials, nuclear fission is controversial amongst some greens, including the Green Party in the European Parliament, not for its effect on the environment, but for potentially diverting cash away from other cheaper renewable energy sources.A joint project between the EU, the US, Russia, Japan, China, India and South Korea, the plan had originally been to complete the experiment within 10 years. It is now thought results will not be achieved for another 30.

EU lists data-sharing policies for first time
HONOR MAHONY 20.07.2010 @ 17:40 CET

EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - The EU and its 27 member states have almost 20 programmes, agencies and agreements governing the exchange of personal, business and telecoms data of EU citizens, a first-ever audit has shown.The arrangements, sometimes only concerning clusters of member states, are designed to facilitate passport-free travel within the EU, to combat terrorism and crime, and to prevent irregular immigration.However, the programmes vary in their usefulness and range from the SIS system, which gathers personal data on travellers to Europe's Schengen borderless zone, to the Advance Passenger Information System, which allows airlines to transmit data on non-EU citizens to border authorities in a bid to combat irregular immigration, and Ecris, the European Criminal Records Information System.The agreements also vary in the information that is exchanged. The so-called Pruem Decision, originally between seven member states, now sees ten countries exchange DNA information, while the data retention directive, a major source of controversy, allows for the keeping of telecoms data. Co-operation between asset recovery offices sees information on property, vehicles and companies shared.The data sharing also extends to countries beyond the EU, including agreements with Washington to hand over EU air passenger information and certain banking details.

Some of the initiatives, often proposed by single countries, such as the Swedish Initiative on streamlining the sharing of the criminal intelligence, appear to overlap with overarching bodies such as Europol, a co-ordinating European policy body.EU home affairs commissioner Cecilia Malmstrom, who on Tuesday published the stocktaking list to make good on a transparency promise to MEPs, said that overview will help when developing further information exchange policies. She said she was committed to certain principles of proportionality and relevance.Citizens should have the right to know what personal data are kept and exchanged about them. It has to be transparent, coherent and relevant to the actual needs we have, said the commissioner, with the European Parliament regularly raising concern about raising data privacy issues.Ms Malmstrom also reviewed the EU's counterterrorism strategy, where policies, she admitted, were often made on an ad hoc basis.The European Union has developed actions based on events, after an attack or an attempted attack causes a huge media tension, a great fear from the population and a pressure on the political leaders to act. But some of these measures are maybe not as effective as they seem in the first place.She pledged a more comprehensive and long-term approach in the future. Specific anti-terrorism measures include the European arrest warrant, an action plan to prevent and respond to incidents involving chemical, biological or nuclear materials and a civil protection mechanism in the case of a terrorist attack.

For the future, Brussels is looking to step up anti-radicalisation measures and has mooted a security fund, although Ms Malmstrom said it is too early to say how much such a fund would contain and for what it would be used.Tuesday's information will feed into a broader EU internal security document due to be published in autumn, with the commission noting that while terrorist attacks are on the decrease, terrorists' methods are constantly evolving.

NUCLEAR WEAPONS WILL BE USED.

51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Israel and Iran: No Surprise
By Jim O'Neill Wednesday, July 21, 2010
http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/25609 (READ LINKS)

…it will not be a surprise attack. In fact, regardless of when Israel attacks Iran the element of surprise does not exist. This confrontation has been discussed for several years and everybody knows about it so there will be no surprises. Israel is ready for it. Iran, Hezbollah and Hamas are ready for it. It’s just a matter of when.—Jerry Pourcy If Israel Attacks Iran In July 2010….

The only questions are when—and will, Iran (et al.) attack Israel, or will Israel attack Lebanon(Hezbollah)/Iran/Syria/Gaza Strip (Hamas) first, in a preemptive strike? (Link)If nuclear weapons come into play, we could all soon be worrying about a lot more than the economy, and the oil spill. (Link) and (Link)As the Obama Administration continues to force-feed us its green energy agenda, (and coincidently destroy our oil-based economy), we may be about to get tag-teamed by a war in the Middle East. (Link) and (Link)

The smart money has it that the Middle East will explode sometime within the next couple of months. I would guesstimate sooner, rather than later—say within the next two weeks. (Link)Granted, it may all hinge on when Iran goes nuclear, but I suspect that the 12th Imam’s birthday, may trump all—and the 12th Imam’s birthday is July 26 (mid-Sha’ban on the Islamic calendar). That is, this coming Monday. (Link) and (Link)Iran is the world’s only Shi’ite-ruled country—the rest being controlled by Sunni Muslims (although several countries besides Iran, have large Shi’ite populations). Around 80% of the world’s Shi’ites are Twelvers, who, in a nutshell, believe that the 12th Imam, or Mahdi, will one day return, and usher in an era of global peace, under Islamic rule. (Link)That no doubt sounds groovy to some folks, however, the era of peace must first be preceded by a bloody period of violence and chaos. At least that’s the view apparently held by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and the clerics and followers of the Hojjatieh sect. (Link) and (Link)

Of course, I could very well be wrong about all this (please God)—this scenario has, after all, been stewing for awhile—nonetheless, I’m using the time before Monday, to top-off my supplies of gas, food, water, and ammo. Praise God, and pass the ammunition.Laus Deo.

Israel and US Near Deal for F-35 Advanced Fighter Plane
by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu JULY 21,10

Israel is nearing a $3 billion deal for 19 advanced F-35 warplanes that would give it a significant military advantage, Pentagon Defense Security Cooperation Agency, Vice Admiral Jeffrey Wieringa, told Reuters.The ball is in their court. I am waiting for them to make a decision any day, he added. Lockheed Martin, the plane’s manufacturer, has not commented on the status of the deal, but Lockheed is known to be anxious over sales because of European countries’ reviews of spending programs.

Wieringa added that the Obama administration and the Pentagon view Israel’s buying the F-35 as part and parcel of American security policies.Lockheed Martin has promoted the F-35 Lightning II stealth fighter as the centerpiece for 21st century global security while strengthening international political and industrial partnerships. The fighter plane combines advanced stealth with fighter speed and agility, fully fused sensor information, network-enabled operations and advanced sustainment.One of the sticking points in the purchase by Israel has been its desire to incorporate Israeli systems in the plane.Weiringa did not disclose what specific radars and other equipment would be included with the F-35 fighters for Israel, but sources reported that Israel is satisfied with the technology in the final agreement.

Israel Integrates with NATO Theater Ballistic Missile Defense Systems By Sean Osborne, Associate Director

19 JULY 2010: Not quite 6 weeks ago, between 7 and 9 June, an Israeli delegation attended a briefing given by the NATO Program Office for the Active Layered Theater Ballistic Missile Defense System (ALTBMDS) Operational Users Group, led by the United States, Germany, Italy, Poland, the U.K., France, Holland and Canada.The briefing brought the Israeli’s up to speed on the current and future capabilities of the NATO ballistic missile defense system. At the same time the NATO side was briefed by Israeli Brigadier General (Ret.) Eitan Yariv on Israel’s Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) system.Obviously, the two systems were immediately recognized to be mutually compatable and would provide an immediate increase in joint capabilities against hostile ballistic missile threats against Europe, Israel and forward deployed NATO forces in the Middle Eastern theater of operations (Operation Enduring Freedom). Without question the Islamic Republic of Iran, with its Shahab-3/4/5 family of ballistic missiles, is seen by all parties as the primary emergent threat. Syria and newly ballistic missile-armed Hezbollah in Lebanon are second tier emergent threats.

It is no big surprise, therefore, to see operational in Israel today a jointly-manned American and Israeli operations center featuring the ground-based center-piece of the NATO system, the AN/TPY-2 radar seen in the image above. Israel has not only integrated its defenses with the American systems in theater, but now has integrated with those of NATO on the European continent. Any launched ballistic missile threat within 1,900 miles of these allied territories will be rapidly identified, the specific launch point located and the incoming warhead destroyed. The effective range of this system is likely limited only by the overhead postion of the space-based element of the networked system and the location of most forward deployed elements of the actual interceptor missiles – most likely located outside of Europe in Israel, Kuwait and Afghanistan.

8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.(RUSSIA-EGYPT AND MUSLIMS)

11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.

Iran and Saudi Arabia Closing in on Cooperation

Shiite Iran and Wahhabi Saudi Arabia, historically not on the best of terms, are making overtures towards each other. Iran’s Foreign Ministry announced on Tuesday that disagreements and differences between the two countries merely serve the interests of the Zionist regime and enemies of the region and the Muslim world.The two countries, separated by Iraq and the Persian Gulf (in northwest-southeast order), were at major loggerheads during the Iran-Iraq war of the 1980’s and shortly afterwards. Relations have gradually thawed since then, however – though Saudi Arabia has reason to fear that Iran’s emerging nuclear power could be used against it.

Saudi Arabian Fears Iranian Nukes
In fact, Saudi Arabia has given tacit approval to a unilateral Israeli strike against Iran. The London Times reported last month that it is common knowledge in Saudi Arabian defense circles that the Saudis have given permission for Israeli bombers to pass over the kingdom on their way to Iran and they will look the other way.Despite this, Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehman-Parast told reporters that conditions are now ripe for expanding and boosting ties and cooperation with Saudi Arabia. Iran and Saudi Arabia are two major countries of the region, with very high potentials for cooperation, he said.Just this past Saturday, Saudi Foreign Minister Saud Al-Faisal told a French daily that Iran deserves to be treated as a leading force in the Middle East.The ground is now prepared for promoting [our mutual] relations to the highest level possible, the Iranian spokesman said.Iran’s desire for a rapprochement with Saudi Arabia comes as the United States takes a tougher line against Iran and Russia declines to send it missile-to-air defense systems.On the other hand, Iran took a similar position nearly a year ago, when Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said that Iranian and Saudi leaders are determined to create proper ties between them. The two have various goals and prospects at the bilateral, regional and international levels, although they have different viewpoints in some regional issues,he said at the time.

Ambassador Shalev: Isolating Israel More Dangerous than Iran
by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu JULY 21,10

The growing worldwide attempt to make Israel illegitimate is more of a danger than Iran to the existence of the Jewish State, according to Gabriella Shalev, outgoing Ambassador to the United Nations. Jewish leaders throughout the world have warned that anti-Zionism is a reincarnation of the anti-Semitism during the Nazi era.

Speaking to reporters in Washington, Shalev said, Israel is the most isolated, lonely country in the world and is on the defense against a new kind of weapon. The Arab world did not succeed in the wars, then the economic boycott failed, then the terrorism failed; now it is delegitimization.Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has said that Israel should be wiped off the map, but its potential to become a nuclear power is shadowed by the new anti-Israel culture. Shalev cited a slew of lawsuits against Israeli officials in European courts and the singling out of Israel for condemnation in the United Nations as two blatant examples of the campaign to quietly destroy the Jewish State.Many of the suits were spawned by the report by retired Jewish South African Judge Richard Goldstone, who headed a United Nations Human Rights Commission panel that accused Israel of war crimes in the war against the Hamas terrorist infrastructure. His accusations were largely based on testimony by Hamas supporters.A researcher at the American Task Force on Palestine, Hussein Ibish, told the Washington Times that while criticism of Israel for maintaining sovereignty in post-1967 Israel is legitimate, calling for boycotts of Israel that question the legitimacy of Israel as a country is counter-productive.Shalev, who leaves her post August 31, has been considered to be on excellent terms with U.S. Ambassador to the UN, Susan Rice, who praised Shalev last week.

Rice said that the United States always will defend Israel on the diplomatic front and will continue to maintain its qualitative military edge. However, the Obama administration has not stepped forth to oppose efforts for an international investigation focusing on Israel’s involvement in the May 31 clash with IHH terrorists on a ship they tried to steer to Hamas-controlled Gaza.Subsequent reports have shown that the Turkish government sponsored the ship, and Ankara’s foreign minister recently met with Hamas’ overall leader, Khaled Mashaal.

Obama Official Delivers Pro-Israel Speech, Hails Iron Dome
by Hillel Fendel JULY 18,10

A top U.S. State Department official said the U.S. has tremendously increased its defense aid to Israel in light of increasing threats the Jewish State faces.The message was delivered in a rare speech on Friday by U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Andrew J. Shapiro. He said that U.S. President Barack Obama has asked Congress to allocate $205 million to accelerate development of the Iron Dome anti-rocket system – and that the House of Representatives has already done so.One reporter at the State Department press briefing on Friday referred to Shapiro’s Obama Administration loves Israel; please vote Democratic in November speech. The Associated Press similarly reported that the election-year message of increased U.S. aid to Israel seems aimed at assauging [sic] the concerns of many Jewish voters that Obama remains committed to Israel's security.As surely as the bond between the United States and Israel is unbreakable, our commitment to Israel's qualitative military edge has never been greater, Shapiro said.The $205 million for Iron Dome is above and beyond the $3 billion in Foreign Military Financing that the Administration requested for Israel in fiscal year 2011, Shapiro said. In 2010, he said the administration requested $2.775 billion from Congress in security assistance funding specifically for Israel, the largest such request in U.S. history.

Shapiro noted that one of his colleagues in the Bureau of Political-Military Affairs recently had a chance to see the Iron Dome training battery while in Israel for bilateral consultations, and was able to witness a simulation of the system’s promising new capabilities.The Iron Dome is designed to stop short-range rockets, such as the more than 8,000 used by Palestinian terrorists in Gaza, and another 4,000 launched from southern Lebanon, against Israel in recent years. Experts say, however, that it cannot stop rockets fired from a distance of under five kilometers, making it ineffective in protecting towns directly adjacent to the border.U.S. support for Israel’s security is much more than a simple act of friendship, Shapiro said. We are fully committed to Israel’s security because it enhances our own national security and because it helps Israel to take the steps necessary for peace. As Secretary Clinton has suggested, we cannot entrust Israel’s future to the status quo. And the most certain way to ensure Israel’s future as a democratic state is through a sustainable regional peace.The aid package, which is the most extensive in U.S.-Israel history, does not come without strings attached.It is our hope that the Administration’s expanded commitment to Israel’s security will advance the process by helping the Israeli people seize this opportunity and take the tough decisions necessary for a comprehensive peace,Shapiro said.In a related item, Indian Ministry of Defense officials are in Israel to negotiate the purchase of Israeli-made David's Sling system, designed to intercept medium-range missiles (70-240 kilometers range). India is also reportedly interested in buying an Iron Dome system when the system is ready.(IsraelNationalNews.com)

Amnesty bill to be blurred with Gay marriage and freedom rights By Laurie Roth JULY 21,10

A leak from behind closed doors who is very reliable has revealed the intentions from this progressive congress and Obama. There is a Bill in the Works that will blur the controversial, gay marriage issue with illegal alien rights and amnesty. This administration and congress plans to hide behind freedom and are obtaining huge support from the gay community, naturally in the name of freedom regarding this soon to be exposed Bill. You and I have just gotten a sneak peak as to the next Rules for Radicals trick is unfolding.What specifically do they have in mind? The specific focus of this Bill will make marriage a Federal and Government right and privilege, not with the States. Once that is established, then the Illegal aliens (I.A.) who are married, gay or heterosexual, to have their marriage recognized in the U.S. would make their immigration status a non issue. Their marriage would be recognized in Mexico and the U.S. so how could they be deemed illegal…….hmmm tricky.If this is allowed, just watch as U.S. Citizens travel to Mexico, get married and then under Mexican law be recognized in the U.S. How can this happen you ask? Per another reliable, legal source of mine, I was reminded of Senator John McCain’s parents who were married in Mexico, under Mexican law but recognized here without formalization.

The other obvious shoe that would drop would be the endless freedom and rights issues regarding gays and illegal aliens! If the Federal Government tried to deport the I.A. spouse, then the couple would cry HOMOPHOBIA and the gay community would become the victim i.e. marches and demonstrations for gay rights. Supporting all that with its endless and deluded might would be most of the American, compromised media. It appears that the gay marriage right will be the rider into the Amnesty bill which could also win because of the gay issue.We must not allow the blurring of these two critical issues. This would trump states laws that have continuously beat down gay marriage and are now desperately trying to reign in the illegal alien assault on their citizens. This would continue the endless persecution, name calling and assault on the American people. Already those of us who are supportive of Arizona’s immigration law and our laws regarding immigration, hate Hispanics, poor people and are simply racist. With this bill from hell, we would be mentally ill as well….we would have homophobia.This unrepresentative, state sovereignty stealing, immoral and evil bill must not pass. If it does, illegals and gays will be quickly getting married and trumping our immigration laws and marriage definitions, state by state. Radical illegal alien groups and radical gay groups will start their aggressive, LEGAL and MEDIA campaign to sue and assault conservatives and anyone who dares to stand against the manipulated and crammed rights of illegal aliens who are now magically married and most gay.I predict that many would mysteriously become gay and get married here or in Mexico if this Bill landed.

Watch in the days ahead for this attempted combo bill to be attempted. Obama needs all the illegal and gay votes he can muster. He and this congress will try anything to get them before the Mid Terms. He is already trying to manipulate and own the Black vote.Remember, the other deceitful plate Obama is spinning in the air is joining with the NAACP and calling the national Tea Party groups racist. He needs a race war and the blacks to rally behind him as the messiah, and savior of the needy. He needs them dependent on Government and Obama. Hopefully, they won’t notice he is really enslaving, controlling and insulting them…..again.Obama knows that the growing Tea Party groups, estimated 40-60 million now are anything but racist, but want fiscally and constitutionally sound Government again. They aren’t angry with various races in our country, that has never been the issue! They are voicing their rightful anger over out of control taxation, forced health care and Government controls. They represent most the American people frankly.Most Americans are clear on the issues but Obama and this congress could care less about morals, what is right and representative of the American people and constitution.

Just the facts please

Marriage is a sacred institution and Holy sacrament defined in the Holy Bible by God. It is between a man and a woman for tons of reasons and has been for thousands of years in every culture. It is critical to keep this in place for our country to even have a future and our children to live in safety. State after state has fought this push by radicals and voted down gay marriage. This Bill would trump their vote.We are a nation of laws and have immigration mechanisms and pathways clearly and generously established now and always have had. It is a crime and wrong to come across our borders illegally, without applying, then suck dry our jobs, Government and medical aid. We then see countless thousands stuffing our prisons….you know, the prisons 1/3rd full of illegal aliens who have continued to break U.S. laws. Remember, our tax dollars pay for our prisoners and prisons. It will be a HUGE assault on Americans yet again if this Bill crams both critical issues together with the plan to assault state sovereignty, gain the illegal alien and gay power base/voter block. This will shred even further our Judeo/Christian values and moral codes. Fight this. We must not allow this to happen.It appears we will have much to repeal, defund and shred when we take back the House, Senate, then White House. We WILL get our country back where it must and should be.

A Dying Media Writes its Own Obituary
By Daniel Greenfield Wednesday, July 21, 2010

Most people think of the news media differently than the participants in it think of themselves. While most people think that the job of newspapers, news radio stations and television newscasts is to report on events, those on the other end of the wire, the printing press and the cable, think that their job is not to report, but to advocate.The high cost of producing a widely read newspaper, a television station or a radio station, has traditionally limited ownership and injected the owner’s biases into the outlet. But the rise of a professional media class in America has made the owner’s views almost redundant, in the same way that unions have ensured that every business they work for will be used to serve the interests of the Democratic party. While some reporters may still report, overwhelmingly the members of the professional media class do not report, they advocate.That is why the rise of the internet has only accelerated media bias, as advocacy journalists are less worried about owners and working for a single outlet, and instead focus on maintaining political solidarity with their professional colleagues. A journalist no longer thinks in terms of working for the same newspaper for 20 or 30 years. He knows that by then there probably won’t even be any newspapers. A month from now he’ll be in a different outlet. Two months from that, he might be printed in three others, one of them a media blog. Three months from now he may be doing video blogs for Time Magazine. The unstable nature of the market means that the journalist is less concerned with the owners, and much more with his professional standing with the colleagues who will hire him or recommend him for jobs. And today professional standing means political reliability, just as it did in the Soviet Union.

Journalist is only one of the more public revelations about that private political solidarity, which these days determines the content of the news we are allowed to read. That boys and girls media club serves as an unofficial union in an unstable marketplace that is bounded not by accomplishment or educational credentials, but by pulling together for a common political cause. Whether it was plotting to bring down Bush or raise up Obama, to push nationalization of health care or internationalization of national security—that unofficial fraternity and sorority of advocacy journalists has turned media bias into their reason for being. They have turned into the definition of what a journalist should be.The difference between a reporter and an advocate, is that the former reports on events, while the latter uses events as props in his message. Where a reporter tries to learn what happened, the advocate tries to understand how he can use that event in his narrative. The advocate has less in common with the reporter, than he does with an ad executive. Like the ad executive looking at a box of chocolate, the advocate looks at an event and decides how he can use it to sell his message. That is why news reports and articles have become commercials for liberal products. One news report might try to sell viewers on the idea that the War on Terror is a bad idea, another will encourage them to view bank bailouts positively, and a third will try to make them feel bad for opposing amnesty. And then the news commercials will pause, to allow that ad executive to run a commercial selling viewers a new brand of dog food of chocolate, before returning back to more news commercials. Or to music and dramatic television programming that is likely to be selling some of the same political messages as well.

The politicization of all forms of media is the result of an understanding that places political advocacy above any notion of objective truth or individual rights. It is fanaticism and propaganda in a suit and tie, sometimes even with an American flag placed around the border. Its not so secret belief is that the American people are stupid, that their culture is stupid and that their opinions can only be improved through direct programming from newspapers, books, radio, television, websites and any other source that can deliver political messages to them, whether they are disguised as news or entertainment. Americans today are living surrounded by as much propaganda as any North Korean Americans today are living surrounded by as much propaganda as any North Korean. The difference is that the propaganda is subtler because it is less standardized by any regulatory body or fear of prison sentences. But that too is beginning to change. The Obama Administration has defined its idea of the media’s role as being the purveyor of its talking points, nothing more. Obama’s avoidance of press conferences, and unwillingness to grant access to the media, makes it clear that he wants to keep them on a short leash. Like most totalitarian organizations, the Obama Administration is not interested in being asked questions, only in making sure that their propaganda is distributed in a timely and consistent fashion.

The Obama Administration is a major reason why the media has become dumber lately
The Obama Administration is a major reason why the media has become dumber lately. Where attacking Bush gave the media a challenge, the Obama Administration leaves them with nothing to do except praise the Beloved Leader and condemn his critics as ignorant racists who hate America. Being an assassin requires more brains than being a herald, and much as the media struggles against it, their only function anymore is to blow the trumpet and repeat what they’ve been told to say, off the record, by their contacts in the White House.While the media tries to paint the Tea Party protesters as extensions of the Republican party, it is actually they who have become extensions of the Democratic party. By advocating a polar political agenda, the media has come to be identified with liberalism, and with the country’s primary liberal party. Distrusted by much of the country, yet taken for granted by the ruling political elite in Washington D.C., the media is reaching the end of the road. As the media organizations that employ them are becoming financially unsustainable, the ranks of reporters that came out of college firmly believing that their mission was to politically indoctrinate Americans are realizing that they are nothing more than bloggers working for dinosaur media outlets.

The media has poisoned its own well. Its survivors are increasingly political bloggers who satisfy the left’s taste for blood The media has poisoned its own well. Its survivors are increasingly political bloggers who satisfy the left’s taste for blood, e.g. Andrew Sullivan, Joe Klein, Glenn Greenwald, Ezra Klein, who survive by pushing radical messages in the most abrasive way possible. But all this really does is turn Time Magazine and the Washington Post into Firedoglake, the Huffington Post and DailyKos. And radicalizing media outlets also marginalizes them. The media has successfully alienated conservatives and independents. Now it is alienating even mainstream Democrats who are sick of childish rantings and conspiracy theories taking the place of serious journalism.The blogsphere has not only defeated the media, it has remade it in its own image. Conventional reporting is vanishing, and what remains of the media exists only to push talking points, repackage memes, launch attacks at the opposition, and furiously cover the asses of their own pet politicians. Unlike printing presses, radio and television stations; websites are relatively cheap. And that put the media into the uncomfortable position of trying to compete with free blogs. Paywalls have not worked, and so newspapers are folding and media outlets are trimming their staffs to try and stay competitive. And as the Time Magazine website shows us, the end result leaves you with something that has the Time brand on it, but reads like the Huffington Post.Advocacy journalism has traveled a long from the posturing of a Walter Cronkite pretending to be your favorite uncle, to Keith Olbermann mimicking him with spittle flecked rants about the Worst Person in the World. Dan Rather’s takedown marked the end of the news broadcast. MSNBC and FOX are the logical result of cable news networks surviving by finding a political demographic and catering to them. But what works for FOX and MSNBC won’t work nearly as well for media outlets that depended on a general cross-section of readers and viewers, rather than on preaching to the choir.

And that is the irony of advocacy journalism, whose politics helped kill their own jobs. Media arrogance and entitlement polarized media coverage at a time when media outlets had to make a compelling case why their readers should support them. And so they did. They made a compelling case to liberal readers, and told everyone else to take a hike. The result is all around us. The jobs of a small media elite will be preserved, at the cost of hundreds of thousands of jobs, from the circulation department to production assistants, from producers to designers, from delivery truck drivers to ordinary hard working reporters who legitimately covered non-glamorous events. Their jobs have had to die, so that a few thousand angry liberals will be able to keep on ranting on the websites that will be all that remain of once great newspapers and publications. Media Bailout: Recognize the media’s new status as a government propaganda department Now there’s talk of a media bailout, which would recognize the media’s new status as a government propaganda department. It isn’t likely to happen though, except in a small and very selective way, because the Obama Administration’s hostility to the media makes it rather clear that they view it as dangerous and redundant. Dangerous because even a heavily biased media can cover stories they don’t want, and redundant because a government media would just do what the government already does, without actually being any more trusted than the government. A few political bloggers providing their opinions, subsidized by Soros funded organizations, would suit the Obama White House much better.

Dictatorships always consolidate the press, because they want to control the entire story from start to finish. Not just what is said, but when it is said, and how it is said. Control is the only mandate of tyranny. And political tyrannies are the worst, because the dogma of ideas creates constant mini-debates which are settled through repression and purges. The push to the left radicalizes and destroys what is left of the media. And what remains can be easily scooped up by the same people who paid for the current White House.By embracing advocacy journalism, the media wrote its own obituary. It stopped being biased as an aspect of its reporting, instead bias became its identity. There ceased to be a media apart from the biased narratives, the attacks aimed at everyone who disagreed with their politics and the shameless slobbering over their favorite politicians. The media made political indoctrination in support of government control over every aspect of people’s lives into its goal, and discovered why there is no free press in totalitarian countries. Because the people won’t buy them and the government doesn’t need them. The media has reached the end of the road. It still makes noises about public service and informing the public, but everyone knows by now that these are buzzwords that mean op-eds and talking being run as news stories, commentaries being run as broadcasts. No one is buying it anymore, and no one cares. The culture of political conformity has destroyed the media. Its war on the Bush Administration and anointment of Obama were the last gasps of political propagandizing from a collapsing brontosaurus that once defined how Americans got their information. What began as great edifices of journalism that served information coast to coast and around the world, now come to their end as shoddy political blogs ranting about who dares to disagree with them. The media’s obit is written, and there’s no one even around to read it anymore.

OBAMA KILLING AMERICANS ADMINISTRATION

Glenn Beck: Does Presidential Assassination Program Exist?
July 20, 2010 - 0:07 ET
http://www.glennbeck.com/content/articles/article/198/43208/ (VIDEO)

A story came out a little while ago that, quite honestly, I can't believe I missed, but someone sent it to me. It's about the presidential assassination program, where American citizens are targeted for killings far away from any battlefield, based exclusively on unchecked accusations by the executive branch that they're involved in terrorism.There are allegedly dozens of Americans on this hit list who pose a threat to the United States. National Security Adviser John Brennan said this:

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)JOHN BRENNAN, NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER: There are, in my mind, dozens of U.S. persons who are in different parts of the world that are very concerning to us.(END VIDEO CLIP)

So, we just shoot them on the spot and don't worry about their Miranda rights as American citizens? Now if it were on the battlefield — fine, I get it. But away from the battlefield? Let's refresh our memories on what this administration said they believed:
- There's no terrorism, just man-caused disasters
- Won't use the term enemy combatant
- Changed the War on Terror to overseas contingency operation
- Brennan proclaimed that jihadists aren't the enemy:

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)BRENNAN: Our enemy is not terrorism, because terrorism is but a tactic. Our enemy is not terror, because terror is a state of mind and as Americans we refuse to live in fear. Nor do we describe our enemy as jihadists or Islamists, because jihad is a holy struggle — a legitimate tenet of Islam meaning to purify oneself in one's community — and there is nothing holy or legitimate or Islamic about murdering innocent men, women and children.(END VIDEO CLIP)
- This is from a president who talked about Arab-American families being rounded up off the streets:(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)THEN-PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE BARACK OBAMA: If there's an Arab American family being rounded up without benefit of an attorney or due process that threatens my civil liberties.(END VIDEO CLIP)

Obama campaigned on closing down Gitmo, because of all the horrors and atrocities being committed there. By the way, has anyone seen the story covered by Fox that Gitmo inmates are watching Twilight on brand new flat panel TVs? Sounds horrible, doesn't it?. But Obama said Gitmo had to be closed because it didn't line up with America's values and ideals — sitting around all day watching TV on the government's dime does seems to be the new American ideal, but I digress.
- Obama promised, if elected, to end the Bush administration system of warrant-less wiretaps. He believed it was an affront to human rights if phone calls to terrorists were monitored.But it's totally cool to just shoot Americans suspected of terrorism?

I'm a little confused; those values don't seem to line up. They're against the death penalty and they're against sending someone to prison without a trial, but pro-shooting American citizens without a trial? They claim to be pro-trial, but seem to be going against that. Is it possible they are trying to do to the court system what they've already done to Congress: Make it irrelevant? Where are the people who are not playing politics? Where are there principles? What do they really believe in? We can disagree in America. But to disagree and have an honest debate, we need principles. Where does this administration actually stand? They'll tell you one thing and do the exact opposite.I want to stop here for a second, because I guarantee you the lowlifes at George Soros' blogs like Media Matters have put down their World of Warcraft 3 controllers and have rushed back to call me all kinds of names. We are so polarized now that it's an automatic reaction: If Glenn Beck brings it up it's a lie! But, I mentioned that someone sent me this story, which I hadn't seen originally. The quotes we used a moment ago were from the far left-site Salon.com and the segment I watched was from the ever-conservative MSNBC:

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)GLENN GREENWALD, SALON: Look at the controversies that were created during the Bush administration, when the president got caught spying on American citizens without warrant or trying to detain them without due process. Here you're talking about something far more extreme. You're talking about targeting American citizens for murder, for assassination, based merely on the allegation that they're involved in terrorism. No evidence, no charges, no trial — nothing.DYLAN RATIGAN, MSNBC: His actions create a massive cognitive dissonance that actually allows him to get away with more than George W. Bush could when it comes to encroachments on civil liberties, facilitating theft from the American people or potentially calling you or me a terrorist and trying to have us killed.GREENWALD: Well, I know that that's the fact...(END VIDEO CLIP)

I don't think I would have looked into this story if it had been reported on some GOP blog. But these guys are so in the bag for Obama, it bears investigating.
Assassinating American citizens without due process? What happened to Miranda rights? Even the ACLU expressed: profound concern about recent reports indicating that you have authorized a program that contemplates the killing of suspected terrorists — including U.S. citizens — located far away from zones of actual armed conflict. If accurately described, this program violates international law and, at least insofar as it affects U.S. citizens, it is also unconstitutional.Notice the ACLU says if accurately described. We asked the White House if we are accurately describing the presidential assassination program and were told to call the CIA.

America, you are in trouble.I am one of the strongest guys out there on terror and probably many people on the list are bona fide terrorists who — if I was on a jury to determine if they were terrorists or not — if they were, I'd probably vote to shoot them in the head. Call me a little nostalgic for the Constitution, but let's have that fair trial for American citizens first.The president is worried about offending radical jihadists. He's very worried about Muslims getting randomly attacked on the streets and scooped up — which, I haven't seen. But I also see who is feared: The angry, racist Tea Parties.In Missouri, a report was issued for state police to be on the lookout for supporters displaying bumper stickers and other paraphernalia associated with the Constitutional Campaign for Liberty and Libertarian parties. The report categorized them as militia-influenced terrorists.

That's you with your Don't Tread on Me flag, gang.The Vice President said this weekend that he wouldn't characterize the Tea Parties as racist, but there were members that have expressed really unfortunate comments and added:(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
VICE PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: Again, it was all over TV, all over your network, you know? A black congressman walking up the stairs of the Capitol.(END VIDEO CLIP)There is zero evidence of that. Yet the administration and the media continue run with it. They're setting you up as the racist.According to Diversity Consultant guest on CNN this weekend, Tea Party members are like Jews that served as guards in Nazi concentration camps:(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)T.J. HOLMES, CNN: There are African-American members of the Tea Party.LUKE VISCONTI, DIVERSITY CONSULTANT: Well, sure.(CROSSTALK)

HILL: There are African-American members of the Tea Party.VISCONTI: There were Jewish concentration guard camps. Weren't there? I mean, there were capos.HOLMES: I don't want to make that connection there...(END VIDEO CLIP)

And they're chomping at the bit for the next Timothy McVeigh. The nut who flew the plane into the building a few months ago, they were eager to label him conservative, but he was far from it. In his manifesto he quotes Marx: From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.How about the census worker's death? The media speculated it he was murdered by a conservative who had been influenced by me. But it was suicide.Here are two headlines: Neo-Nazis tied to militia patrols in Arizona; Tea Party rejects racist label; some concerns remain.They are trying to make you explode, to make you into a danger. But the ignore actual terrorists like ELF and ALF; eco-nuts who blew up a radio tower outside of Seattle. The media ignored that; I only knew about it because I was in Seattle when it happened.It makes no sense. Why doesn't the president care that the Democrats are on the verge of getting trounced in the elections? Because the president is about to have unstoppable power, making Congress irrelevant.Have you looked at the financial reform bill? Unelected bureaucrats will decide who to bail out and take over. In health care reform, Kathleen Sebelius' position is mentioned 155 times in the bill. She will call the shots.Just like with Caesar, Congress is irrelevant. Did you know that in 2012, businesses will have to do a 1099 for any purchase over 600 bucks? It's a paperwork nightmare, especially for small businesses. A freelance artist buys a Mac, they've got to send the form to Apple. Was that in the financial or health care bill? Health care. Why? Power.One branch has been eaten and the next branch is about to be. Without due process, our president can assassinate American citizens. We're not talking about the power to regulate or the power to tax, but the absolute power to kill.I want to ask the question that stumped two politicians I was with this weekend: What is the definition of a dictator? Where is the line? They didn't seem to know the exact answer. I suggest we find it and quickly.

LOVELL STANNERS LESS WORRIED ABOUT POISON LEAK

POISONED WATERS

REVELATION 8:8-11
8 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;
9 And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.
10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;
11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood:(bitter,Poisoned) and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.(poisoned)

REVELATION 16:3-7
3 And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.(enviromentalists won't like this result)
4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.
5 And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.
6 For they(False World Church and Dictator) have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.

THIS WAS TUES I DONE THIS NOW UPDATED.

RUTH LOVELL STANNERS MAYOR OF OWEN SOUND IS NOT SO WORRIED ABOUT THAT THIS COULD BE A POISONOUS SPILL IN OWEN SOUND HARBOUR AND KILL ANIMALS AND PEOPLE IN THE AREA IF IT FELL IN THE HARBOUR AND BROKE OPEN.I'M STILL CONCERNED BY WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS WILL CONTAMINATE THE OCEANS AND WATER FOUNTAINS IN THESE LAST DAYS.THIS COULD BE A PART OF PROPHECY ONLY TIME WILL TELL WHEN ITS SHIPPED TO SWEDEN.YOU CAN NOT TRUST ANY AGENCIES THESE DAYS BECAUSE OF STAGED EVENTS AND DECEPTION INVOLVED.

MY TUE COMMENT

RUTH LOVELL STANNERS IS THE MAYOR OF OWEN SOUND WERE I WENT UP IN FRONT OF AND WANTED AN ISRAELI FLAG FLOWN IN FRONT OF CITY HALL SINCE THE GAY FLAG WAS ALLOWED TO BE FLOWN.THE ISRAELI FLAG WAS NOT ALLOWED,THE GAY FLAG WAS ALLOWED FOR A WEEK,THEN THERE IS NO SPECIAL FLAGS TO BE ALLOWED FLOWN EXCEPT OTHER COUNTRIES AMBASSADORS ETC.AT LEAST I MADE A LITTLE DIFFERENCE FOR TRYING TO STAND UP FOR ISRAEL 4 YEARS AGO IN OWEN SOUND.NOW IF THIS RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL WOULD FALL IN THE OCEAN IT WOULD POISON ONTARIOS OCEAN.KILLING OCEAN ANIMALS AND PEOPLE IN OUR AREA.IT MIGHT HAPPEN,SO WATCH THE NEWS CLOSELY AS THE BIBLE SAYS FIRST 1/3RD OF THE OCEANS WILL BE POISONED,THEN DURING THE TRIBULATION PERIOD ALL WORLDS OCEANS WILL BE POISONED AND ALL THE LIFE IN THE SEA DIES.RUTH IS CORRECT TO WORRY ABOUT THESE BEING SHIPPED FROM OWEN SOUND TO SWEDEN.

I AM UPDATING THIS STORY YET AGAIN.ITS TUE JULY 20,10.THE HEADLINE IS MAYOR JUST TRYING TO PROTECT CONSTITUENTS BY ZIGGY KLEINAU,BINBROOK ONTARIO.

EDITOR:

Instead of attacking the mayor of Owen Sound for her concern that projects are done with proper care and safety,the writer of the editorial in the July 14,edition should first get his facts straight.

To educate and inform the public there must be informed and correct writting.Why does Bruce Power continuously stress that all openings of the steam generators are being safeguarded by welded seals to keep all dangerous radiation from escaping?

Here the writer talks about the non-radioactive material in them,some 90%,will be broken down and recycled.Those hundreds of small pipes inside,part of the primary circuit containing heavy water,having accumulated large amounts of radioactive fission products over 20-odd years of service that makes them so dangerous.Those contents have to be decontaminated in Sweden to get the worst radiation hazard out and then recycled into the consumer market. The hulls of those behemoths as he calls them contain radiation like all other parts of refurbishing waste.

I have the strong feeling that the medical officer of health has not really got a grip on the process and just takes Bruce Power's assertions for real. Has she not heard about the alpha radiation contamination of almost 200 workers where Bruce Power was sure it did'nt exist at that site. Another grossly misleading statement I find in the writer's often obnoxious reasoning for defending the need for nuclear power generation ex-ie fuel cars with rainwater and heat our homes with dirt. tellng us that two-thirds of this provinces power is nuclear.Well even the energy ministry's website calls it only about 50%(or half)and if one looks at the daily output of all of Ontario's generating sources on www.sygration.com/gendata/to day even that doesn't hold true much of the time. (At 2PM on the day this was written from a total of about 22,000 MW of all generation sources only a little more than 9,000 MW was from nuclear).

The writer blasts the mayor for fretting publicly about steam generators falling into Owen Sound's harbour and then accusing her of apparently having no knowledge of engineering equipment and resources. I for one,would tell this writer with all those false statements to get educated on the real facts in the real world before accusing someone in authority who is applying precautionary principle(if he knows what that is)to protect her constituents from harm that can not be reversed.

Mayor less worried about cargo -Lovell Stanners wants to hear from CNSC officials about plans to ship steam generators through city Posted By Denis Langlois
JULY 16,10

Owen Sound's mayor is backing away from her opposition to Bruce Power's plan to ship 16 low-level radioactive steam generators out of the city this autumn. But many issues are unresolved. Ruth Lovell Stanners said Thursday that after investigating the matter further, she has decided that the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission might be able to convince her that the shipment is safe. The federal regulator said Wednesday that the 100-tonne decommissioned generators do not present a risk to people or the environment.CNSC officials have accepted an invitation to speak at city council's July 26 meeting.If I get a comfort with their saying that it's safe, then I will have a comfort with that as well, Lovell Stanners said in an interview.

But then there remains the other extraneous issues, such as the security and the conversations that must go on with our police about closing roads — 16 days of closing roads — and security at the site itself . . . and insurance.At a council meeting Monday, Lovell Stanners told Bruce Power officials that she is concerned about the health and safety risk the shipments pose to residents of Owen Sound. She said accidents do happen, pointing to an incident in October 2008 when two 107-tonne turbines fell off a barge and to the bottom of Saint John Harbour. She questioned what would happen if a steam generator fell into Owen Sound Harbour. The more that I have learned, the less I am comfortable with this plan at all,she said during the meeting. Lovell Stanners said after Monday's meeting she spoke with her husband, Dr. Bruce Stanners, who referred her to a highly respected doctor of nuclear medicine.The doctor said the best thing to do to get sound information was to go to the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission. So, given that that was the advice of this man, I thought it's exactly what I will do,Lovell Stanners said.Bruce Power says the plan is safe. So does Dr. Hazel Lynn, Grey-Bruce's medical officer of health.

Council has also invited Lynn to speak July 26.Lynn issued a statement Tuesday, in which she said she does not think the steam generators pose any risk to the public.
She said the boilers will be sealed and emit a very low level of gamma radiation that will not be measurable from two metres away. Lovell Stanners said it has been very difficult to get a true understanding of the issue because information is from one end of the spectrum to the other.Nuclear watchdog and environmental groups, along with Sarnia Mayor Mike Bradley, are opposing the shipments, saying they pose too much of a risk to the Great Lakes. The CNSC is considering an application from Bruce Power to transport the school bus-sized steam generators through the Great Lakes and to Sweden for recycling. The steel vessels will be loaded one by one onto a docked ship — about the same size as the Chi-Cheemaun — over three weeks, starting in mid-September. About 90% of the metal will be recycled. The CNSC said in its statement that those concerned by Bruce Power's proposed shipment of used steam generators can be confident that no licence will be issued unless the regulator is convinced that the shipment will be completed safely, without risk to the health, safety or security of Canadians or the environment.Bruce Power needs only a heavy load permit from Owen Sound, which cannot be denied due to health and safety concerns unrelated to the actual transportation of the components on city streets.

REMEMBER THE NAMES OF THE COUNCILLORS THAT SAID IT WAS SAFE TO SHIP IT IF A ACCIDENT OCCURS.THEN SHIP THEM OUT OF GOVERNMENT IN THE NEXT ELECTIONS.

Councillors don't share high level of concern
Posted By DENIS LANGLOIS, SUN TIMES STAFF JULY 16,10

The majority of Owen Sound councillors said Thursday they do not share the mayor's level of concern about Bruce Power's plan to ship 16 low-level radioactive steam generators out of Owen Sound Harbour. Coun. Tom Pink said he is not convinced the health concerns addressed by Mayor Ruth Lovell Stanners are valid. For me, I use my intellect and not my innards to make a decision, he said in an interview. He said in everything that I've read and seen Bruce Power is trying to alleviate concerns in a reasonable and responsible manner. And yet we still act in, I would say, an unreasonable manner.He cited as an example Bruce Power's decision to alter its plan to store the steam generators by the harbour for five weeks until the ship arrives. The company now plans to pay for the ship to be docked in Owen Sound for three weeks and have each generator loaded within a day of its arrival in the city.Lovell Stanners expressed concerns to The Sun Times and Toronto media about the potential risks of storing the school bus-sized components by the harbour for weeks.Pink said Owen Sound enjoys relatively cheap power thanks to Bruce Power, so it must also accept the consequences of that benefit -- playing a part in getting rid of waste.

Despite assurances by Bruce Power, Lovell Stanners said earlier this week that she is concerned a steam generator could fall into the harbour, which is near the city's water treatment plant. On Thursday, she said she will feel comfortable with Bruce Power's plan if the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission can convince her it is safe.
Coun. Bill Twaddle said council had not been involved in any discussions about the shipments before Monday night's meeting, even though the mayor had prior meetings with Bruce Power.He said he is not jumping to conclusions about the safety of the shipments, saying it is the responsibility of every elected politician to be as informed as possible before forming a decision.f the scientists -- the knowledgeable, educated people -- are comfortable and believe what is happening is safe, then I can't see that I can have any reason to vote against it,he said. Coun. John Christie said he believes the appropriate precautions are being taken by Bruce Power to ensure the shipments are safe.I think if we're going to develop our port more effectively as a commercial shipping point and a transshipping point for goods, then we need to face the fact that as far as wear and tear on the streets are concerned that that's one of the prices you pay for that, he said.

I'm not concerned about the hazardous element of this.Coun. Arlene Wright, Grey County's warden, said she sees no fault in the mayor's position, but does not share her concerns. If the nuclear agency says there isn't a problem with it, then that's fine, she said.She said it's unfortunate, however, that Bruce Power has not yet consulted with Owen Sound Police Services about the transportation of the vessels through the city. The company said Monday it will speak to the city police force.

Coun. Jim McManaman said he has no problem with Owen Sound Harbour being used as the port of choice for the shipments, as the city and region have enjoyed a lot of benefit from Bruce Power. I don't have the same level of concern as the mayor has expressed, he said.City staff will review Bruce Power's security and safety plan, he said. Coun. Deb Haswell said she has some concern about the stability of the harbour wall and wants assurance from Bruce Power that the company will pay for repairs if something goes wrong. I'm not convinced that there is a high risk of contamination. There's also the fact that Bruce Power is essentially our neighbour and sometimes it would be helpful to be a good neighbour, she said. Attempts to reach Coun. David Adair and Coun. Peter Lemon Thursday were unsuccessful.Article ID# 2671631

Radioactive cargo worries mayor Posted By DENIS LANGLOIS, SUN TIMES STAFF
JULY 13,10

Mayor Ruth Lovell Stanners is dead against a plan by Bruce Power to load 16 low-level radioactive steam generators onto a ship in Owen Sound Harbour and ship them to Sweden, but it seems unlikely she can stop it. The Tiverton-based nuclear generation company requires only a heavy load permit from the city, which cannot be denied based on health and safety concerns unrelated to the actual transportation of the 100-tonne vessels through Owen Sound, said city manager Jim Harrold. Bruce Power has already secured the support of Transport Canada, which owns the harbour, conditional upon the approval of a licence from the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission. An application is now before the CNSC. It would be the first time a licence has been issued to ship nuclear waste across the Great Lakes. Bruce Power spokesman Ross Lamont suggested to council that the city would be in a legal fight if it refuses to issue the heavy-load permit, based on concerns with storing the steam generators by the harbour and shipping them out of Owen Sound.I find life is a lot simpler when we don't use lawyers. I would hope we would have a fulsome discussion as to why,he told council after being asked what would happen if the city said no. He said Bruce Power has no alternate plan to shipping the generators out of Owen Sound Harbour. Other harbours, including one in Goderich, have been ruled out.

Lovell Stanners would also require the support of her council colleagues to stop the plan. Owen Sound councillors Peter Lemon and Tom Pink said they support Bruce Power's proposal.Lemon said he is more concerned about invasive aquatic species, such as zebra mussels, hitching a ride on the ocean-going vessel and remaining in harbour than the risks of the low-level radioactive waste.Other councillors wanted more information.Lamont laid out for council Bruce Power's plan to ship the school bus-sized, decommissioned generators from its Tiverton site to the Owen Sound harbour. The steel vessels will be loaded one by one onto a docked ship -- about the same size as the Chi-Cheemaun -- over three weeks, starting in mid-September, and then shipped to a recycling facility in Sweden.Lovell Stanners said she is concerned about the impact the steam generators might have on the health and safety of Owen Sound residents. She questioned what would happen if one were to fall into the harbour.The more that I have learned, the less I am comfortable with this plan at all,she said during the meeting. Lamont said Bruce Power has chosen to ship the steam generators to Sweden to reduce the amount of waste that will be stored at the Bruce site property. About 90% of the generators' metal will be melted down in Sweden for reuse and the rest will be shipped back to Canada and stored as low-level nuclear waste. He said the generators will be welded shut and will not pose a danger to the public or environment. There will be a protected, guarded staging area in Owen Sound, he said.Bruce Power changed its plan to store the generators at the harbour for five weeks. Now, the plan is to load them on an awaiting ship over three weeks. The longest one will be stored along the harbour will be one night, Lamont said. He said standing next to one of the generators for two hours will deliver no more radiation than a chest X-ray.Bruce Power plans to ship another 16 generators across the Great Lakes, as part of the refurbishment of Units 1 and 2, in a few years. More will be shipped through Owen Sound as other units are refurbished.

Bruce Power is holding a public meeting July 27 at 5 p.m. at the Grey Bruce Health Unit building. It is also holding meetings in Saugeen Shores and at its visitor centre. The only decision council made on Bruce Power's plan Monday was to approve a motion by Coun. Bill Twaddle to invite medical officer of health Dr. Hazel Lynn to speak to council about it. Lamont said she is supportive. Bruce Power must submit its application for a heavy load permit to Owen Sound within 30 days of the shipments. Several anti-nuclear and environmental groups are circulating a petition to oppose Bruce Power's plan. Sarnia Mayor Mike Bradley and two state representatives from Michigan are among the people who have signed so far. Gordon Edwards, president of the Canadian Coalition for Nuclear Responsibility, said it is foolish to ship the steam generators, which have 5,000 corroded pipes inside, on the Great Lakes.The danger is that accidents do happen, he said. There's lots of radioactive junk inside those steam generators. In fact, Bruce Power doesn't even know the complete inventory of the radioactive material inside because it's impossible to measure from the outside and no one wants to go inside because it's too dangerous. If this material were to somehow find a pathway out into the environment, through either a puncture or a crack or just to corrosion, then you have this material leaking into the Great Lakes.Shipping the generators across the Great Lakes also sets precedence, he said, for larger and more dangerous shipments.
