CDC Warns Public to Prepare for 'Zombie Apocalypse' - FoxNews.com
CDC Warns Public to Prepare for 'Zombie Apocalypse' - FoxNews.com: "Are you prepared for the impending zombie invasion?
That's the question posed by the Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention in a Monday blog posting gruesomely titled, 'Preparedness 101: Zombie Apocalypse.' And while it's no joke, CDC officials say it's all about emergency preparation.
'There are all kinds of emergencies out there that we can prepare for,' the posting reads. 'Take a zombie apocalypse for example. That's right, I said z-o-m-b-i-e a-p-o-c-a-l-y-p-s-e. You may laugh now, but when it happens you'll be happy you read this, and hey, maybe you'll even learn a thing or two about how to prepare for a real emergency.'"

House Committee Passes Defense Bill Containing Authorization Of Worldwide War | WW3 Is About To Begin!!!
House Committee Passes Defense Bill Containing Authorization Of Worldwide War | American Civil Liberties Union: "The House Armed Services Committee late last night finished marking up the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which contains a dangerous provision that authorizes a worldwide war against terrorism. The bill was also amended to include a troubling provision delaying the implementation of the repeal of the discriminatory “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy. The American Civil Liberties Union strongly opposes both of these NDAA provisions.
The war authorization provision was added to the bill by the committee's chairman, Rep. Buck McKeon (R-CA), and goes much further than the current authorization of war. It has no expiration date and would allow a president to use military force in any country around the world where there are terrorism suspects, even when there are no connections to the 9/11 attacks or other specific harms or threats to the United States."

Housekeeper That Accuses IMF Head of Sexual Assault Lives in HIV Apartment | Cleveland Leader
Housekeeper That Accuses IMF Head of Sexual Assault Lives in HIV Apartment | Cleveland Leader: "Not only does Dominique Strauss-Kahn have to worry about a possible prison sentence, but now he also has reason to be concerned about coming into contact with the HIV/AIDs virus. The alleged victim of the IMF chief's sexual assault lives in a Bronx apartment rented exclusively for adults with HIV or AIDS.
The hotel maid is a West African immigrant, and has occupied the fourth floor of the building with her 15-year-old daughter since January. Before that, she had lived in another apartment since 2008 that was set aside by Harlem Community AIDS United for adults with the virus and their families.
At least one adult in the household must be HIV-positive or have AIDS to qualify for the apartment, and infected children are not eligible. Deductive logic indicates that the woman very likely was infected, although we cannot ascertain this for sure due to medical confidentiality laws."

FDA Accuses Supplement Manufacturers of...Selling Drugs? | Welcome to the Alliance for Natural Health - USA: "Misleading claims vs. legitimate science—getting to the truth can be a minefield! Which is why the Free Speech about Science Act is so important.
The US Food and Drug Administration recently sent warning letters to manufacturers of a number of products—MedaVir, Herpaflor, Viruxo Anti-Viral Support, C-Cure, and Never an Outbreak—for making health claims about treating or preventing sexually transmitted diseases, including herpes.
According to the FDA press release, “While some of the companies market these products as dietary supplements, these products are all drug products under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act), as they are offered for the treatment of disease. These drug products, which are offered for the treatment of STDs, may not be introduced into interstate commerce without an FDA-approved new drug application (NDA).”"

Rare Library of Congress colour photographs of the Great Depression | Mail Online
Rare Library of Congress colour photographs of the Great Depression | Mail Online: "It was an era that defined a generation. The Great Depression marked the bitter and abrupt end to the post-World War 1 bubble that left America giddy with promise in the 1920s. Near the end of the 1930s the country was beginning to recover from the crash, but many in small towns and rural areas were still poverty-stricken. These rare photographs are some of the few documenting those iconic years in colour. The photographs and captions are the property of the Library of Congress and were included in a 2006 exhibit Bound for Glory: America in Color. The images, by photographers of the Farm Security Administration/Office of War Information, shed a bleak new light on a world now gone with the wind."
Gamers Target U.S. Troops in Chinese Military ‘Shooter’ | Danger Room | Wired.com
Gamers Target U.S. Troops in Chinese Military ‘Shooter’ | Danger Room | Wired.com: "China’s latest stealth fighter might be cloned from the debris of a shot-down U.S. Air Force F-117. Chinese naval warplanes are reverse-engineered Soviet designs, as is its navy’s only aircraft carrier.
For decades, China has copied many of its military systems from foreign-made originals. It’s a hallmark of a fast-growing power just finding its footing in the high-tech world.
The latest example? A first-person-shooter video game, developed by China’s Giant Network Technology Co. and backed by the People’s Liberation Army. It’s apparently modeled on the U.S. Army–made shooter America’s Army.
Like its American counterpart, introduced as a recruiting tool in 2002, Glorious Mission begins with simulated basic training before deploying the player to an imaginary battleground to duke it out in close-quarters combat. News reports show scores of Chinese troops dutifully gaming away in front of their computer screens.
“The game itself looks pretty well-made,” one blogger commented. “Graphics definitely on par with at least the [Call of Duty] series.”"

Is It All Going Down on May 21?, Christian News
Is It All Going Down on May 21?, Christian News: "You may be wondering among yourselves, 'How can we tell the difference, whether it was GOD who spoke or not?' Here's how: If what the prophet spoke in GOD's name doesn't happen, then obviously GOD wasn't behind it; the prophet made it up. Forget about him (Deuteronomy 18:21-22). 21And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken?
( 22When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.)
The Bible teaches that any and every prophet from God will predict future events with 100% accuracy. If there is even a hint of inaccuracy, the dude was discredited as a fraud"

The newspaper claimed to have obtained a draft of Obama's planned speech at the State Department on Thursday in which he will outline his administration's Middle East policy, in light of the anti-government protests that have swept the region over the past year.
White House press secretary Jay Carney said Sunday that Obama would raise the need for progress in the peace process. However, he did not reveal whether the president planned to present a diplomatic initiative to revive the process, after negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians broke down last September."

Nordyke numbers expose Obama document fraud?
Nordyke numbers expose Obama document fraud?: "Newly unearthed information about Hawaii's procedure for numbering birth records at the time Barack Obama was born casts further doubt on the authenticity of the short-form and long-form birth certificates published online with the president's authority.
Details about the registration procedure are significant, because some analysts have wondered how Obama could have been issued a registration number that is higher than the numbers of the published birth certificates of Susan and Gretchen Nordyke, which were registered three days later than the president's.
Some have speculated that even though Obama's birth certificate was received by the registrar Aug. 8, 1961, the registration number could have been assigned a few days later by a clerk processing a batch that included the Nordyke twins' birth records.
But a 1955 article by Charles Bennett, Hawaii's registrar general in 1961, and George Tokuyama, chief of the registration and records section for the state's Department of Health, stated birth certificates were numbered immediately upon acceptance by the registrar-general."

US Navy drones: Coming to a carrier near China?
The U.S. is developing aircraft carrier-based drones that could provide a crucial edge as it tries to counter China's military rise.
American officials have been tightlipped about where the unmanned armed planes might be used, but a top Navy officer has told The Associated Press that some would likely be deployed in Asia.
"They will play an integral role in our future operations in this region," predicted Vice Adm. Scott Van Buskirk, commander of the U.S. 7th Fleet, which covers most of the Pacific and Indian oceans.
Land-based drones are in wide use in the war in Afghanistan, but sea-based versions will take several more years to develop. Northrop Grumman conducted a first-ever test flight — still on land — earlier this year.

History is filled with stories of free nations that fell under the spell cast by their governments who exploited the threat of terror.
In fact, numerous presidents in American history already have used various specific threats to sidestep their Constitutional restraints. Today we are entering a nebulous world where our 'enemy' cannot be defined, has no particular allegiance to one country, and is able to adopt new leaders at will. Rather than encourage a sense of resilience and independence in its citizens, America has chosen to amplify the terror threat in order to concentrate power in the hands of the State. The very first signpost on this historically familiar road to tyranny is an atmosphere of hate, suspicion, and vindictiveness. It first begins as an outwardly directed aggression and then rather abruptly turns inward upon itse"

IS OBAMA’S SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER PART OF A MANUFACTURED FAKE IDENTITY?
Susan Daniels is a licensed private investigator who has researched the use of the social security number currently being used by Barack Hussein Obama which she has determined was issued in the state of Connecticut, where Obama has neither lived nor worked. Daniels has stated that the number had originally been assigned to a man from Connecticut born in 1890.
Daniels is president of Susan Daniels & Associates, which is located in Ohio and was incorporated in 1995. Prior to opening her own company, Daniels worked as a private investigator for Friedrick Investigations in Lakewood, OH, including in the areas of medical malpractice, background investigations, and litigation support. She was also employed as a “stringer” (correspondent) for the Cleveland Plain Dealer for 17 years, covering Board of Health meetings, trials, local county commissioners’ meetings, and performing public records research.
In March 2011, Daniels wrote to the Social Security Administration and told them that Obama had been using a fraudulent social security number. Of the response she received, she said, “Usually if you get something back from the government, it will say, ‘You’re wrong because of Section such-and-such…’ They’ll cite something proving that you were wrong and why you were wrong. This one is a four-sentence letter, and it said, ‘After reviewing the information you provided, we disagree with your conclusion that a person’s social security number depends upon the address of residence.’ ‘We disagree!’ It’s hysterical, because they didn’t cite any reason why I wasn’t right. It’s not a question of opinion; it’s whether or not my contention was accurate.”

Report: Doctors Refusing to Treat Overweight Patients | CNSnews.com: "From the South Florida Sun-Sentinel: Fifteen obstetrics-gynecology practices out of 105 polled by the Sun Sentinel said they have set weight limits for new patients. Some of the doctors said the main reason was their exam tables or other equipment can't handle people over a certain weight, but at least six said heavy women run a higher risk of complications.
'People don't realize the risk we're taking by taking care of these patients,' the newspaper quoted Dr. Albert Triana of South Miami as saying. 'There's more risk of something going wrong and more risk of getting sued. Everything is more complicated with an obese patient in GYN surgeries and in [pregnancies],' he told the newspaper."

New Federally Mandated Light Bulbs Will Cost Americans $50 A Piece: NO JOKE
Two leading makers of lighting products are showcasing LED bulbs that are bright enough to replace energy-guzzling 100-watt light bulbs set to disappear from stores in January.
Their demonstrations at the LightFair trade show in Philadelphia this week mean that brighter LED bulbs will likely go on sale next year, but after a government ban takes effect.
The new bulbs will also be expensive — about $50 each — so the development may not prevent consumers from hoarding traditional bulbs.

TEPCO admits nuclear meltdown occurred at Fukushima reactor 16 hours after quake - The Mainichi Daily News
TEPCO admits nuclear meltdown occurred at Fukushima reactor 16 hours after quake - The Mainichi Daily News: "Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO) admitted for the first time on May 15 that most of the fuel in one of its nuclear reactors at the Fukushima No. 1 Nuclear Power Plant had melted only about 16 hours after the March 11 earthquake struck a wide swath of northeastern Japan and triggered a devastating tsunami.
According to TEPCO, the operator of the crippled nuclear power plant, the emergency condenser designed to cool the steam inside the pressure vessel of the No. 1 reactor was working properly shortly after the magnitude-9.0 earthquake, but it lost its functions around 3:30 p.m. on March 11 when tsunami waves hit the reactor.
Based on provisional analysis of data on the reactor, the utility concluded that the water level in the pressure vessel began to drop rapidly immediately after the tsunami, and the top of the fuel began to be exposed above the water around 6 p.m. Around 7:30 p.m., the fuel was fully exposed above the water surface and overheated for more than 10 hours. At about 9 p.m., the temperature in the reactor core rose to 2,800 degrees Celsius, the melting point for fuel. At approximately 7:50 p.m., the upper part of the fuel started melting, and at around 6:50 a.m. on March 12, a meltdown occurred."

Released by the Center for Human Rights and Global Justice at New York University's (NYU) Law School, the report explains that, on average, one Indian farmer commits suicide every 30 minutes in response to the devastation caused by the effects of globalization on agriculture, and genetically-modified organisms (GMO) in particular.
The report, entitled, 'Every Thirty Minutes: Farmer Suicides, Human Rights and the Agrarian Crisis in India,' (http://www.chrgj.org/publications/d...) explains that Indian policy has stripped many farmers of their livelihoods by greatly decreasing the value of their crops. Combined with the introduction of GM crops that trap farmers into an endless cycle of debt without providing any substantial benefits, and you end up with a society marked by despair, hopelessness, and an increase in suicides."

Philly.com : Man who clashed with cops over legal gun was also armed with audio recorder
Philly.com : Man who clashed with cops over legal gun was also armed with audio recorder: "MARK FIORINO'S story has three elements that tend to get people worked up - gun rights, Philly police and YouTube.
On a mild February afternoon, Fiorino, 25, decided to walk to an AutoZone on Frankford Avenue in Northeast Philly with the .40-caliber Glock he legally owns holstered in plain view on his left hip. His stroll ended when someone called out from behind: 'Yo, Junior, what are you doing?'
Fiorino wheeled and saw Sgt. Michael Dougherty aiming a handgun at him.
What happened next would be hard to believe, except that Fiorino audio-recorded all of it: a tense, profanity-laced, 40-minute encounter with cops who told him that what he was doing - openly carrying a gun on the city's streets - was against the law.
'Do you know you can't openly carry here in Philadelphia?' Dougherty asked, according to the YouTube clip.'Yes, you can, if you have a license to carry firearms,' Fiorino said. 'It's Directive 137. It's your own internal directive.'
The cops, department officials later admitted, were wrong. They didn't know that a person who has a license to carry a firearm can openly carry it in the city"

Coffee prices set to soar on shortage fears
Coffee prices set to soar on shortage fears: "cup of coffee is about to get even more expensive.
The price of raw green beans has more than doubled in less than 12 months and coffee shops say they can no longer absorb the soaring costs.
Danny Erlich, co-owner of Prahran coffee roaster and retailer Ciscos Coffee, said he expected Melbourne cafes to raise the price of a cup of coffee by up to 50 cents."

Nation & World | Supreme Court OKs warrantless searches | Seattle Times Newspaper: "The Supreme Court on Monday gave police more leeway to break into homes or apartments in search of illegal drugs when they suspect the evidence might be destroyed.
The justices said officers who smell marijuana and loudly knock on the door may break in if they hear sounds that suggest the residents are scurrying to hide the drugs.
Residents who 'attempt to destroy evidence have only themselves to blame' when police burst in, Justice Samuel Alito said for an 8-1 majority.
In dissent, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote that she feared the ruling in a Kentucky case had handed the police an important new tool."

Group: 800 killed in Nigeria post-election riots
Group: 800 killed in Nigeria post-election riots: "
At least 800 people were killed in postelection violence that swept across northern Nigeria as it became clear that a northern candidate would not succeed in unseating the southern president, an international human rights group said Monday.
Human Rights Watch gave its estimate in a report that included testimonies from interviews with witnesses and with others who survived the riots.
Nigerian authorities have not given an official death toll for fear of provoking retaliatory violence.
But a government agency has said that more than 40,000 people in Africa's most populous nation were displaced by the riots. Some local organizations have said that at least 500 people were killed."

Midstate Police Profiting Off Drug Trade? - NewsChannel5.com | Nashville News, Weather & Sports: "Tonight at 10, a major NewsChannel 5 investigation raises disturbing questions about Tennessee's war on drugs.
Among the questions: are some police agencies more concerned about making money off the drugs, than stopping them?
At the center of this months-long, NewsChannel 5 investigation are laws that let officers pull you over looking for cash -- and, get this, they don't even have to charge you with a crime to keep your money.
It turns out, those kind of traffic stops are happening every day in Middle Tennessee."

The United States Congress is set to vote on legislation that authorizes the official start of World War 3
The legislation authorizes the President of the United States to take unilateral military action against all nations, organizations, and persons, both domestically and abroad, who are alleged to be currently or who have in the past supported or engaged in hostilities or who have provided aid in support of hostilities against the United States or any of its coalition allies.
The legislation removes the requirement of congressional approval for the use of military force and instead gives the President totalitarian dictatorial authority to engage in any and all military actions for an indefinite period of time.
It even gives the President the authority to launch attacks against American Citizens inside the United States with no congressional oversight whatsoever.
Just to recap, because that was a mouthful:
- Endless War – The war will continue until all hostilities are terminated, which will never happen.
- No Borders – The president will have the full authority to launch military strikes against any country, organization or person, including against U.S citizens on U.S soil.
- Unilateral Military Action – Full authority to invade any nation at any time with no congressional approval required.
- No Clearly Defined Enemy – The US can declare or allege anyone a terrorist or allege they are or have been supporting “hostilities” against the US and attack at will.
- Authorization To Invade Several Countries – The president would have full authority to invade Iran, Syria, North Korea, along with several other nations in Africa and the Middle East and even Russia and China under the legislation all of which are “know” to have supported and aided hostilities against the United States.

Connecticut will move on "Real ID" license program this fall - GreenwichTime
Connecticut will move on "Real ID" license program this fall - GreenwichTime: "This fall, state drivers will need to go through a new system for renewing and obtaining licenses that will require a variety of identifications to obtain a new photo ID to flash as they enter airports, courthouses and other federal buildings.
The program, called CT Select ID, would start Oct. 3, and has been recognized as compliant with the security guidelines of the federal Real ID Act, Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicles spokesman William Seymour said."

Nullify REAL ID or Get Ready for a Global ID Card – Tennessee Tenth Amendment Center
Nullify REAL ID or Get Ready for a Global ID Card – Tennessee Tenth Amendment Center: "REAL ID is an unconstitutional mandate with 18 benchmarks for the driver’s license (DL) and State issued ID cards. The Department of Homeland Security adopted the International Civil Aviation Organization, an U.N. agency, standard for the digital facial photographic image on driver’s licenses. The photo must be facial recognition compatible linking you to a global ID card that affects your ability to buy, sell and travel.
The cost of REAL ID implementation is enormous, resulting in the States resurrecting the founding fathers method of dealing with federal tyranny, which is nullification. In essence, nullification occurs when the states tell the federal government we’re not going to take unconstitutional orders from you and we refuse to comply.
If only it were that simple. Despite about half of the States enacting laws prohibiting or resolutions opposing REAL ID, most States are actually working toward compliance of all 18 benchmarks."

#Fukushima I Nuke Plant Reactor 1 Bldg: 2,000 Millisieverts/Hr at Southeast Double Door, 3,000 Tons of Water in the Basement | EX-SKF: "2,000 millisieverts, or 2 sieverts, per hour radiation was detected inside the southeast double door of the Reactor 1 reactor building. Measurement was done by a remote-controlled robot on May 13. The location is where the pipe is that goes into the Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV).
3,000 tons of contaminated water probably leaked from the RPV and the Containment Vessel was found in the basement of the reactor building (where the Suppression Chamber is). TEPCO suspects the water is leaking from the seams of the pipes that connects the Containment Vessel body and the torus-shaped Suppression Chamber.
Now, TEPCO's new plan is to circulate the contaminated water in the basement back into the RPV to cool the RPV."

India mothers accused in honor killing of 2 brides - FoxNews.com: "Two Muslim mothers in a northern Indian town have been arrested on accusations they killed their daughters for dishonoring the family by eloping with Hindu men, police said Sunday.
Newlyweds Zahida, 19, and Husna, 26, were strangled when they returned home after getting married to men of their choice, said Anil Kumar Kusan, a police officer.
Marriages between Hindus and Muslims are not common in India and are frowned upon by both communities, although there are more instances of inter-religious marriages among the educated urban population."
