Thought For The Day from our friend Mike Tawse in the UK -- This thought fits The Power Hour very well. Be sure to check it out.
Food security collapses in Haiti as machete wielding gangs take to the streets -- Overnight, Haiti has gone from an organized, civil nation to a scenario of total chaos with gangs running wild through the streets, ransacking shops and fighting over food with machetes.But wherever you live, your city is just one natural disaster away from total chaos (Can you say Katrina?)
Homeland Security halts deportations to Haiti after earthquake -- The Homeland Security Department announced Wednesday afternoon that it will halt the deportation of illegal Haitian immigrants in the wake of a devastating 7.0 earthquake in that country. But some lawmakers and immigration advocates are lobbying President Obama go further and grant Haitians in the U.S. a safe haven through a controversial emergency program.
Was the Haiti earthquake a result of weaponized earthquake generation? -- Ask this question...why were there no tsunami warnings?
Health officials, experts reject 'false pandemic' charges -- Leading public health officials and experts have sharply rejected charges from some European officials that pharmaceutical companies used exaggerated claims about the H1N1 pandemic threat to scare governments into buying unnecessary stockpiles of vaccines. (quick! We need to do damage control!)
Merck sat on data showing Vioxx risks for years before pulling drug -- A recent study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine has revealed that information about heart risks from pharmaceutical giant Merck's Vioxx drug was available in 2000, four years before the Merck pulled the drug from the market.
Obama to meddle with your retirement account? -- Assistant Labor Secretary Phyllis C. Borzi and Deputy Assistant Treasury Mark Iwry are planning to stage a public comment period before implementing regulations that would require private investors to structure IRA and 401(k) accounts into what could amount to a U.S. Treasury debt-backed government annuity.
A sorry saga - Obama signs Native American apology resolution; fails to draw attention to it -- Resolution was buried in the Defense spending bill.
Prisoners taking work from private sector -- The president recently held a "Jobs Summit" at the White House. Topping the agenda was the creation of "green jobs." With the unemployment rate in Michigan hovering above 15 percent and the nation at 10 percent, a great deal of hope is being thrust upon the renewable energy industry and the promise of "green jobs." It appears, however, the administration is content with having those jobs performed by prisoners as opposed to law-abiding citizens.
Pentagon weighs cleanup as it plans Iraq exit -- As the U.S. military prepares to leave Iraq, the Pentagon is wrestling with questions about environmental cleanup on the bases it plans to transfer to the Iraqi Army by December 2011.At issue on and around the bases are unexploded ordinance, depleted uranium from munitions, spilled oil and contaminated ash in burn pits..
On the lighter side: You just have to laugh -- Weight Watchers floor collapses under weight of clients The floor of a Weight Watchers clinic in Sweden collapsed beneath a group of 20 members of the weight loss programme who were gathered for a meeting. Luckily, all of the dieters escaped uninjured.
UK: Swine flu task force's links to giant pharma: more than half the 'experts' have ties to drug firms -- Eleven of the 20 members of the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) have done work for the pharmaceutical industry or are linked to it through their universities.
Household chemicals and drugs found in biosolids from wastewater treatment plants-(that's what they sell as fertilizer to put on your garden) -- U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) scientists found that biosolids contain relatively high concentrations (hundreds of milligrams per kilogram) of the active ingredients commonly found in a variety of household products and drugs.
White House budget director blames old computers for ineffective government -- A big reason why the government is inefficient and ineffective is because Washington has outdated technology.
Obama information czar calls for banning free speech -- Obama’s information czar wants to tax or ban outright, as in make illegal, political opinions that the government doesn’t approve of.
Obama regulation czar advocated removing people's organs without consent -- Cass Sunstein has advocated a policy under which the government would “presume” someone has consented to having his or her organs removed for transplantation into someone else when they die unless that person has explicitly indicated that his or her organs not be taken.
Obamacare has revealed the moral bankruptcy of the Senate -- Here's where we're at on socialized health care. The House and Senate have passed ObamaCare bills, but the two versions are very different. So, the bill can't go to the President until they iron out the differences. Make no mistake about it. This legislation moves us down the road towards socialism, and it will result in even more gun owners being disqualified from owning firearms.
42 tons of poison to be dumped on island to eradicate rats -- In a radical move to eliminate pests and save local wildlife, pristine Lord Howe Island will be blitzed from the air with poison. this is the first time such a project has been contemplated in a place with a substantial human population. Lord Howe's 350 permanent residents will be given muzzles for their pets and are being told to keep an eye on their children while the bombardment occurs.
Haiti's aftershocks -- Here is a list of the earthquakes located by the USGS and contributing networks for the 10-degree Map Centered at 20°N, 70°W. Most recent events are at the top.

The truth about Haiti's suffering -- While Washington spends $1,000 billion on wars allegedly to combat the threat of terrorism, Haiti’s poor – whose country’s economy is valued at $7 billion – show us a sobering perspective on what a real threat to life looks like.
Are there fake gold bars in Ft Knox & Bank of England? -- A recent discovery — in October of 2009 — has been suppressed by the main stream media but has been circulating among the “big money” brokers and financial kingpins and is just now being revealed to the public. It involves the gold in Fort Knox — the US Treasury gold — that is the equity of our national wealth. In short, millions (with an “m”) of gold bars are fake! Read More...
Democrats plan to 'steal the vote" -- A political correspondent is making waves with his stern warning that Democrats are scheming to manipulate the electoral process this election year by implementing a federal mandate to involuntarily register millions of people to vote – making the system ripe for unprecedented fraud and abuse.
Obama staffer wants cognitive infiltration of conspiracy groups -- In a 2008 academic paper, President Barack Obama’s appointee to head the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs advocated “cognitive infiltration” of groups that advocate “conspiracy theories” like the ones surrounding 9/11.

The motivation, however, is not so much space travel as emergency trauma care for wounded soldiers on the battlefield.
