’Translucent’ disc hovers 25 feet over Huntington, Indiana parking lot - National ufo | Examiner.com: "A Huntington, IN, witness reports watching a 'translucent disk-shaped symmetrical object' hovering 25 feet over a nearby parking lot, according to April 22, 2011, testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness walked out of his apartment at 10 p.m. on April 13, 2011, and noticed the object.
'The object I saw was translucent and obscuring the background night sky and apartment buildings and trees, though, not blocking the background out,' the witness stated.'The shape was more like a distortion of the background, much like the image one sees when looking at one's reflection in a pool of water.'"

Siberian “Dead alien” fake — RT
Siberian “Dead alien” fake — RT: "A video of what was claimed to be a mutilated alien corpse, which scored hundreds of thousands of views on YouTube, has turned out to be fake.
The tiny “dead alien” is just skin from chicken filled with bread, reports the website 7d.org.ua. Police questioned the men who claimed to have found the “body” and they allegedly confessed to creating it themselves.
The chief editor of the local Kabansk-Info newspaper initially thought that it was the body of an infant in the video and alerted the police. Officers immediately started the investigation and identified the alleged author.
They went to his house and asked him about the infant’s body. The scared man reportedly showed a fake alien corpse. It was even painted in “alien colors”. Scolding is the only possible punishment for such a stunt as it cannot be considered a crime, the report says."

Local Gifted Teen Detects Japanese Radiation in Reno
Local Gifted Teen Detects Japanese Radiation in Reno:
"A young scholar at a Reno school for gifted
middle and high school students has detected tiny amounts of
radiation from Japan's damaged nuclear plant in Reno's air, snow
and rain.
Sixteen-year-old Taylor Wilson made the discovery with equipment he uses to measure radioactivity in his own class projects at the Davidson Academy on the University of Nevada, Reno campus.
Wilson, who became the youngest person to produce nuclear fusion
two years ago, says a high-purity germanium spectrometer detected
minuscule amounts of the radioactive isotopes iodine-131 and
cesium-137 and cesium-134.
While the isotopes are not usually detected in Nevada, Wilson stresses the readings were far below levels that could pose any
health risks.
Tiny amounts of the isotopes also have been detected in Las
Vegas."

When Mayer Amschel Rothschild admitted, 'Give me the power of the money and it will not matter anymore who is commanding', he exposed the true nature of international finance. The new front man for the shadow masters of money is George Soros. His visibility is used to deflect attention away from the supra national circle of recluse manipulators, who set the agenda for globalism. The history of world politics is really the chronicle of money, debt and banking. Only by understanding this clash of titans, can one interpret the language of worldwide finance"

iPhone keeps record of everywhere you go | Technology | guardian.co.uk: "Security researchers have discovered that Apple's iPhone keeps track of where you go – and saves every detail of it to a secret file on the device which is then copied to the owner's computer when the two are synchronised.
The file contains the latitude and longitude of the phone's recorded coordinates along with a timestamp, meaning that anyone who stole the phone or the computer could discover details about the owner's movements using a simple program.
For some phones, there could be almost a year's worth of data stored, as the recording of data seems to have started with Apple's iOS 4 update to the phone's operating system, released in June 2010."

In an attempt to preserve its empire, the United States has adopted an aggressive military posture, starting a war in Libya and continuing its military occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq.

The U.S. State Department says it is not working to undermine the Syrian government and that programs in Syria are similar to those the US is running in other parts of the world to build democratic institutions. However, Investigative Journalist Wayne Madsen believes the US and it's allies are trying to influence grassroots uprisings in Arab Nations.
Syria's youth are increasingly demanding greater freedoms and access to the world. In response to the protests, the Syrian President says he expects a state of emergency which has been in place since 1963 to be lifted next week. Human rights groups say more than 200 people have been killed since protests began"
BBC News - Europe: Nationalist resurgence
BBC News - Europe: Nationalist resurgence: "The eurosceptic and anti-immigration True Finns have taken nearly a fifth of votes in Finland's general election, reflecting a trend across Nordic and Western European countries.
The phrase 'rise of the far-right' has been used - though in each country the parties concerned have their own characteristics and do not necessarily fit the conventional 'far-right' description.
Here we record the electoral status - and political influence - of some of the most succesful nationalist/ anti-immigrant parties in Europe."

EconomicPolicyJournal.com: A 29 Year Old Female Mini-Bernie Madoff in China Gets the Death Sentence
EconomicPolicyJournal.com: A 29 Year Old Female Mini-Bernie Madoff in China Gets the Death Sentence: "Here's shocking news out of China.
Twenty-nine year old Wu Ying has been sentenced to death for borrowing money outside approved channels. It's likely she was running some kind of Ponzi scheme, Economist says she was offering 80% annual returns, but technically she was convicted of borrowing money from non-government approved sources.
For sure, a death sentence for running a Ponzi scheme does seem shockingly harsh, but the technical charge used against her seems to be a charge that could be used against many entrepreneurs operating in China."

Jonathan Emord -- Abolish the Federal Income Tax: "Allow the private sector to feed itself and you will grow an ever expanding economy capable of lifting the standard of living to new heights. Obama’s planned economy rests on deprivation of individual liberty, while tax reform that seeks to ensure that Americans retain wealth rests on maximization of individual liberty. If given freedom, taxpayers will succeed in transforming the American marketplace into one of wealth that benefits all Americans."

A year on from BP oil disaster scientists say Gulf of Mexico is almost back to pre-spill health levels...so why are a huge number of dolphins and turtles still washing up dead? | Mail Online: "One year on from the BP oil spill and some scientists are declaring the overall 'health' of the Gulf of Mexico as back to normal.
More than three dozen scientists now grade the Gulf's health a 68 on average, using a 1-to-100 scale. This is just below the 71 grade the same researchers last summer said they would give the ecosystem before the spill.
However the scientists are also warning that just because the surface of the water looks clear, beneath is still a mess"

Storm death toll reaches forty-four as violent tornadoes rip through Southeast | Mail Online
Storm death toll reaches forty-four as violent tornadoes rip through Southeast | Mail Online: "The 241 tornadoes that took the lives of 45 Americans and scythed a path of destruction through 14 states is the most violent storm on record.
Officials say it is the largest number of tornadoes to touch down from a single storm system since records began.
And, in a forecast that could spell further grief for residents in the Southern states, experts at AccuWeather predict that more violent storms are on the way.
The high winds and rain - and the possibility of more twisters - will undoubtedly hamper clean-up and rescue operations, and heap more misery on those who have already lost everything.
Rescue crews recovered the body of an eight-year-old as the U.S. struggled to come to terms with the devastation wreaked by three days of violent storms across the southern states which killed at least 45 people."

Libya conflict: EU awaits UN approval for deployment of ground troops | World news | guardian.co.uk: "The EU has drawn up a 'concept of operations' for the deployment of military forces in Libya, but needs UN approval for what would be the riskiest and most controversial mission undertaken by Brussels.
The armed forces, numbering no more than 1,000, would be deployed to secure the delivery of aid supplies, would not be engaged in a combat role but would be authorised to fight if they or their humanitarian wards were threatened. 'It would be to secure sea and land corridors inside the country,' said an EU official."

Anger rises after Camden officer kills dog

Obama Pushes Chinese-Style Internet ID System
Obama Pushes Chinese-Style Internet ID System: "The so-called “National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace,” created by NIST under the auspices of the U.S. Commerce Department, purports to offer an “identity ecosystem” under which Americans will be able to protect their information not with passwords but with a “single credential” stored on a smart card, a cell phone, a keychain fob or some other kind of gadget. This will then be used to access a myriad of data, including tax returns, health information, bank accounts and more, amounting to a passport for your entire life."

Britons shot in Florida killed as part of 'gang initiation' - Telegraph: "James Cooper, 25, and James Kouzaris, 24, were in Florida when they were killed at 3am in a gangland area rarely visited by tourists.
They apparently accepted a lift from someone they met in a bar, thinking they were being driven home.
A 16 year-old, named locally as Shawn Tyson, was charged with their murder. It emerged yesterday that he was freed by a judge last week despite being arrested over an armed robbery.
The bodies of Mr Cooper, a tennis coach who once played Andy Murray, and Mr Kouzaris were found riddled with bullets on a one-way street in the estate, known for drug dealing and gang activity. Police are investigating the theory that the pair spent the night bar hopping in Sarasota."

Wall Street shares slump as S&P downgrades US debt outlook | Business | The Guardian: "Shares fell heavily on Wall Street on Monday after a leading ratings agency fanned fears of Europe's debt crisis spreading across the Atlantic by issuing a strong warning about America's failure to tackle its budget deficit.
In a move seen by Wall Street as a 'shot across the bows' of bickering politicians in Washington, Standard and Poor's (S&P) said it was cutting the outlook on the US's long-term rating from stable to negative for the first time since the attack on Pearl Harbor 70 years ago."
