Penny Starr In its final report on Customs and Border Protection’s strategy to address illicit cross-border tunnels issued Sept. 26, 2012, the Office of Inspector General for the Department of Homeland Security said there has been an 80 percent increase in the “tunnel activity” since 2008. “Since 1990, law enforcement officials have discovered more than 140 tunnels that have breached the U.S. border, with an 80 percent increase in tunnel [...] Emily Allen The World Health Organisation, which bills itself as ‘impartial’, has been taking hundreds of thousands of pounds from the fast-food industry to help fill black holes in its budget to tackle obesity, it has emerged. WHO works on behalf of 194 nations to tackle disease like malaria and AIDS but also battle on-going problems like diabetes and heart disease caused by chronic problems like obesity. But now it has [...] KWN Today 40 year veteran, Robert Fitzwilson, wrote the following piece exclusively for King World News. Fitzwilson, who is founder of The Portola Group, warned about a chaotic future where, “Along the way, various currencies will become the safe haven of the day, but none will survive what lies ahead.” He also cautioned, “No amount of printing or economic growth can prevent our destiny of currency destruction and entitlement collapse.”
Below is Fitzwilson’s [...] Back in October 19, 1988, in response to Black Monday from a year earlier (the SEC is not known for fast turnaround times) a little known SEC rule came into effect, known as Rule 80B, and somewhat better known as “Trading Halts Due to Extraordinary Market Volatility” which set trigger thresholds for market wide circuit breakers – think a wholesale temporary market shutdown. According to Rule 80B (as revised in 1998), the [...] Vimeo (FLASHBACK: October 19, 2011) David Rothkopf, President and CEO of Garten Rothkopf and author of Power, Inc.: The Epic Rivalry Between Big Business and Government–and the Reckoning That Lies Ahead Rothkopf comments on unrest in the United States at the 25’30” mark: David Rothkopf :: “Power Inc.” from Roosevelt Institute on Vimeo. After hearing the Simon Black podcast, I visited the SovereignMan.com web site, liked what I saw, and signed up for the newsletter. The information in the “free” part of the newsletter is sometimes interesting, and I’ve enjoyed some of them. I’ve noticed, however, that sometimes products are pushed – sometimes a little much. Okay, no big deal. But the most recent one I received was an e-mail about “37 food items you should [...] By Glenn Kessler (JOSHUA ROBERTS/REUTERS)“Let’s look at the facts: in 2008, when Flint had 265 sworn officers on their police force, there were 35 murders and 91 rapes in this city. In 2010, when Flint had only 144 police officers, the murder rate climbed to 65 and rapes–just to pick two categories–climbed to 229. In 2011, you now only have 125 shields.” –Vice President Biden, October 18, 2011 “In Flint, Michigan, they cut their force [...] Press TV “We have to spend our own money when we move around Italy for work. The cuts meant we can’t afford riot shields for policemen who are defending public order,” AFP quoted Filippo Girella, leader of the General Labor Union (UGL), as saying on Tuesday. Girella referred to the 2010?s EUR 80 million fuel and maintenance budget, which has now been reduced by half. A statement released by the protesters [...] CFTC Final Rulemaking Original Source

Mr Cameron’s decision to impose a three-line whip has angered many MPs, since the vote was called under rules the Coalition promised would give backbenchers more freedom. The back-bench business committee yesterday voted to hold a debate on the issue on [...] Becky Akers Don’t even say “hello” to them, and never but never ask directions. Some poor sap in Twinsburg, Ohio, sought help in locating the local Walmart from one of our public masters—sorry, servants. “The quick-thinking officer [sic for ‘parasite hoping for even more of the taxpayers’ money via a promotion’] ran the man’s license plates for good measure” – I love that – “and found a warrant out [...] Ulsterman Report Our latest interview with a longtime Wall Street Insider reveals details of a troubling Obama White House stance against Wall Street executives voicing concern over the now daily violence permeating the Occupy Wall Street movement – and a belief the Obama administration may be actively engaged in helping create that conflict. Ulsterman: This is the first time you contacted me instead of me contacting you to speak – why the change? WSI: Things have [...] Jonathan Benson For over 20 years, the dogma of man-made global warming has been trumping sound science and even basic logic. The result has been a global movement of pseudo-scientific alarmism about climate change that seeks to solve it with scams like global carbon taxes. But a simple visual chart put together by Jo Nova shows how governments, industry, and Wall Street have been behind the global warming scam [...] Editor’s Note: In the Obama era of state-sponsored assassinations, there’s always that moral or ethical dilemma that won’t go away. In America, the Party Leader has already spoken on this issue in his 2009 inaugural speech, when Barack Obama said that America must “reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals”. - The family of a American teenager killed in Yemen during a US [...] Earthquake Details This event has been reviewed by a seismologist.

That tension just kicked it up a notch. Over the weekend, China hiked interest rates 0.25%. This was the second interest rate hike in three months (the first was on October 19, 2010). And it [...] |
