Chicago almost became a glowing radioactive sister city to Fukushima. Yesterday we broke the story of the La Salle Nuclear plant having to perform a Fukushima style direct-to-atmosphere venting of the primary nuclear containment due to a lightening strike. As we indicated at the time, the amount of radioactivity released is unknown because the radiation monitors were not on a backup power supply. Today in a follow on NRC event report, we [...]  Western intelligence officers were seeing new signs of activity at Syrian chemical weapons sites, they told the New York Times Sunday, Dec. 2. “It’s in some ways similar to what they’ve done before,” a senior U.S. intelligence official said. “But they’re doing some things that suggest they intend to use the weapons. It’s not just moving stuff around. These are different kind of activities.” http://www.debka.com/article/22579/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter Report: New signs of activity at Syria’s [...] Cassandra Anderson Geo-engineering is an umbrella term for deliberate climate intervention that includes spraying the sky with aerosols to reflect solar radiation away from Earth in order to cool the planet and to save the environment and humanity from the effects of supposedly man-made global warming. There is evidence that this program has already been implemented for many years using unidentified chemical aerosols, known as chemtrails. A geo-engineering/ chemtrails experiment [...] Kurt Nimmo Stanley McChrystal, the former commander in occupied Afghanistan, wants to bring back forced conscription. He believes sending 18 year olds into warzones designed by the global elite will “instill a sense of shared civic duty among young Americans,” the AFP reports. McChrystal admitted that a decade of war has all but chewed up and spit out the so-called volunteer army, which is in fact a last ditch effort at job [...] Quebec’s new education minister, Michelle Courchesne, has called representatives of student groups and post-secondary institutions to two separate meetings set for Tuesday morning, in her first move after her swearing-in late Monday. Courchesne — who is also Quebec’s Treasury Board president and minister for government services — was named to the post shortly after Line Beauchamp’s surprise announcement Monday afternoon that she was quitting her education post and giving up politics.

The conservative party New Democracy announced earlier today that it will not be able to form a coalition government that would allow Greece to form a new government. This means that only a handful of options are now available for the struggling country: Newt Gingrich is dramatically curtailing his campaign schedule, laying off about a third of his staff and giving his campaign manager the heave-ho as he focuses on a last-ditch effort to win the Republican presidential nomination at the party’s convention. Gingrich’s strategy hinges on preventing front-runner Mitt Romney from winning the 1,144 delegates he needs for the nomination, Gingrich spokesman RC Hammond said Tuesday night. The ex-House speaker plans to spend much [...] We did a double take when we read the following lead sentence from a just released Bloomberg report on what is about to take place in China: “China’s stocks regulator will “actively” push pension and housing funds to begin investing in capital markets, and encourage long-term investors such as insurers and corporate pension plans to buy more shares.” To paraphrase Lewis Black – we will repeat this, because it bears [...] When AP is printing stories like this, we’re headed over the falls Excerpt: At the top of Tuesday’s agenda is finding a means to more fully integrate the eurozone’s disparate nations — ranging from powerful Germany to tiny Malta — both politically and financially.

After years of resistance, European leaders agreed Thursday to reduce Greece’s debt burden in a last-ditch effort to preserve the euro and stem a broader financial panic. The pact, negotiated in Brussels, is part of a rescue package of 109 billion euros, or $157 billion, for Greece, the most troubled economy in the euro zone. It will force many investors in Greek debt to accept some [...] By Matthew Lynn WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — Italy is wobbling. Spain is facing a fresh crisis.
