Your Money: Credit Card Limits for Youth Can Be Opportunity for Parents
Rules that limit access to credit cards until the age of 21 go into effect this month, which is good news and bad for parents.
Canada Free Press Saturday, February 13, 2010 Although some have and will continue to do so, it is almost impossible to honestly state—in any way shape or form—that the current Marxist Democrat-run Executive and Legislative branches of the US government are anything but a catastrophe for the United States of America, its people and the world. In fact, if history is ever again to be written by a truly free and honest people, the current US rulers (not to be confused with governing bodies) will likely be referred to as the very worst in US history and the ones that brought the once greatest fortress of freedom on Planet Earth—the USA—to its final demise. In order to firmly and conclusively attempt to turn the USA into a permanent Elitist-run Communist slave-country, Democrat leader/lawmakers have turned to covert Machiavellian and behind-closed-door means to pass their Orwellian legislation; designed to suppress and yoke US citizens like oxen to serve the elitist cause.

SAN ANGELO, Texas — Consumers, get ready for a massive increase in your power bills, gasoline prices and food costs if President Barack Obama’s energy and economic proposals pass the House and Senate.
Obama wants to increase the cost of fossil fuels — crude oil, natural gas and coal — by increasing taxes and further restricting the use of fossil fuels. Even though the Energy Information Administration at the Department of Energy estimate that in 2030, the U.S. still will get more than 70 percent of its energy from fossil fuels, Obama continues to throw billions of tax dollars at exotic forms of energy —wind, solar, biomass, ethanol, etc.
Since 1978, with passage of the National Energy Act and the Public Utility Regulatory Act, politicians have given tax breaks for exotic energy generation of electricity and transportation fuels. When the tax breaks were not enough, state and federal governments mandated to utilities that they must buy electricity from wind and solar, and it didn’t matter how much it cost.
Over the years, the federal government has meddled into the energy markets more than a dozen occasions either by direct funding of research and development programs, offering grants and cooperative agreements with universities, direct tax credits, technical assistance and even direct financial contributions.

Israel may lack the military means for successful preemptive strikes against Iranian nuclear facilities, former Chief of Staff Dan Halutz told Channel 2 news on Saturday.

Recession and the constant threat of terrorist attacks have given new life to the ingrained survivalist instinct
AmericanFreePress.net | Headlines - February 14, 2010 Are you sick and tired of waiting for Washington to rein in Wall Street and shut down the Money Trust? A new financial movement is putting the power back into the hands of Main Street by giving consumers the ability to take their money out of the coffers of the so-called “too-big-to-fail” financial firms and put it into accounts at smaller, locally owned community banks. As we learn more about the killing of seven CIA agents at a U.S. military base in Afghanistan on Dec. 30, 2009, it is clear U.S. intelligence, and its Jordanian counterpart, the General Intelligence Department, sometimes known as the Mukhabarat, underestimated Arab revolutionaries and their allies in Pakistan and Afghanistan. When President Obama reluctantly agreed to begin sending 30,000 more troops into Afghanistan late last year, did he do it under pressure from the neo-conservatives and the military-industrial complex? In a recent article, filmmaker John Hankey points to a secret war going on inside the Beltway that pits old-guard neo-conservative internationalists against the na�ive administration that is currently occupying the White House. It’s a life or death battle, says Hankey, with the American people caught in the middle. Big Oil Behind Haiti Quake?

RMN.com | Why Has The Human Being Been Exposed to So Much Radiation?
What does it take to reinvent mankind? Those of you who have remodeled homes know that often it would be easier to tear the whole thing down and start over; yet it is sometimes desirable to keep some of the old structure that can than be transformed into something more appealing and functional.
Is this what is happening in the world of transhumanism--the world we now live? So many things are changing rapidly or perhaps it is not so rapid; but, that we the general public are now being exposed to the alterations as attempting to hide them would be much more obvious.
Polio was in fact a huge radiation experiment. Over the past few decades, our bodies have been adapting to nuclear fallout, as we have had no choice but to do so. We are now transitioning into the "nanotech" phase of our development, as hosts of a whole new technology that has embedded itself in us on the sub-cellular level.
Our bodies are being re-conditioned.
Quote from link below: "Pleomorphism (or polymorphism) determines that life arises from chemistry: the chemical constituents of the environment composing a dynamically flexible matrix for lifeforms to adapt and display transitional qualities, altering the nature of microbial form and function in an ultimately wholistic gestalt of biology. Modern pleomorphism was born in the mind of Antoine Bechamp and expressed by Claude Bernard's conception of bioterrain. Bechamp endured the academic tribulation of increasing marginalization as his work went unfunded and "germ theory" was promoted in politically well-connected circles."
Today, Big Pharma and its academic and advertising arms have led us to believe that disease is caused by genetics and germs. Not so. Read this long and thoroughly researched piece to understand how polio and the vaccines created for it set the stage for the collapse of millions of Americans' immune systems, preparing us for further evolution of our internal biology toward accepting and becoming a whole new matrix.

Heart disease risk may be higher Los Angeles residents living near freeways experience a hardening of the arteries that leads to heart disease and strokes at twice the rate of those who live farther away, a study has found. The paper is the first to link automobile and truck exhaust to the progression of atherosclerosis — or the thickening of artery walls — in humans. The study was conducted by researchers from USC and UC Berkeley, joined by colleagues in Spain and Switzerland, and was published this week in the journal PloS ONE. |
Croat scientist warns that ice age could start in five years
10 Feb 10 - Renowned physicist Vladimir Paar has revealed that Europe could be just five years away from the start of a new Ice Age, says this article in the Croatian Times.
Most of central Europe will soon be covered in ice, says Paar, "including Germany, Poland, France, Austria, Slovakia and a part of Slovenia." The freeze will be so complete that people will be able to walk from England to Ireland or across the North Sea from Scotland to northern Europe.
"This could happen in five, 10, 50 or 100 years, or even later. We can't predict it precisely, but it will come," he added.
And the professor said that scientists think global warming is simply a natural part of the planet.
Professor Paar, from Croatia's Zagreb University, has spent decades analysing previous ice ages in Europe and what caused them.
"The reality is that mankind needs to start preparing for the ice age," says Paar. "We are at the end of the global warming period. The ice age is to follow. The global warming period should have ended a few thousands of years ago, we should have already been in the ice age. Therefore we do not know precisely when it could start – but soon."
"Food production also might be a problem. It would need to be produced in greenhouses with a lot of energy spent to heat it," commented the professor, who remains optimistic despite his predictions.

The source of the blasts appears to be a complex of sunspots (1045 and 1048) just now disappearing over the western limb. If so, NASA's STEREO Ahead spacecraft would have had a direct view of the double eruption. STEREO images are temporarily unavailable, however; we'll bring them to you as soon as possible.

Yellowstone Earthquake Swarm Summary as of 11 February 2010 The rate of earthquake occurrence in the Madison Plateau area is now at background levels. As of February 11, 2010 4:00 PM MST there have been 1,805 earthquakes located. The swarm began January 17, 2010 around 1:00 PM MST about 10 miles (16 km) northwest of the Old Faithful area on the northwestern edge of the Yellowstone Caldera. Swarms have occurred in this area several times over the past 30 years. Visual observation of landforms and geothermal features by Yellowstone National Park personnel did not show any changes that could be attributed to the earthquakes. This swarm is now the second largest recorded swarm at Yellowstone. It was longer (in time) and included more earthquakes than last year's swarm beneath Yellowstone Lake (December '08/January '09).Flights disrupted across the Caribbean by eruption on Montserrat Times Online - 3 hours ago The Soufriere Hills volcano, which first erupted in 1995, returned to life on Thursday, spewing ash up to 6 miles (10km) into the sky, the Montserrat ...

But he has well and truly proved a chip off the old block after breaking the record set by his mother Amy - weighing in at more than three stone. Ralph, a continental giant rabbit, is just 12 months old but already weighs more than Amy did before her death in 2009. |
