US Government Openly Admits Arming Mexican Drug Gangs With 30,000 Firearms – But Why?
Friday, 08 July 2011 07:42
‘It is now a widely-reported fact that under the Obama administration, U.S. federal agents actively placed over 30,000 fully-functional weapons into the hands of Mexican drug gangs, then halted all surveillance and tracking activities of where those weapons were going.
This is not a conspiracy theory, nor a piece of fiction. It is now an openly-admitted fact that this was pulled off by the BATFE (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, more commonly called “ATF”) under orders from Washington. The program was called “Fast and Furious.”
Even Reuters is now covering the news and reporting how members of Congress are outraged to learn that this happened.’

Indiana Schools To Stop Teaching Hand Writing!
Thursday, 07 July 2011 12:40
‘Who still writes in cursive?
That age-old writing method you might never have used since fourth grade will no longer be taught in Indiana schools come fall, thanks to a memo from school officials. Instead, students will be expected to become proficient in keyboard use.
Seems like a smart move as being able to type efficiently is a vital skill in today’s world, as opposed to knowing how to write cursive, which — like being able to churn butter and knowing how to hitch a horse to a wagon — is no longer needed.’
Bankers Built Private Empires on Public Credit

‘As you have a doctorate degree in economics from a great university I will touch as lightly as my verbosity allows on facts accepted by economic “science” and proceed to occult aspects of Central Banking.
Since the division of labor is the key to all human achievement and satisfaction, a system of exchange is crucial. Barter is hopelessly complicated. A command economy, in which each does and receives what he is told, is also hopelessly cumbersome and fails to take advantage of individual initiative, ability, and concrete knowledge.
A medium of exchange, money, is the obvious solution. (Even our highly centralized economies on the socialist model now enthusiastically embrace money as an indispensable simplifying tool in their economic planning.)’

‘The monarch currently receives £11.9 million a year from the public purse to maintain and repair her homes which include Windsor Castle and St James’s Palace.

CIA Coup Army Uncovered in Asia
Monday, 04 July 2011 07:12
‘A tiny handful of Marxists, dupes, and shills converged in Bangkok today in what would seem like nothing more than a footnote in the day’s news. In reality, it was actually the surfacing fin of a shark prowling the political waters of Southeast Asia. While Bangkok certainly has enough foreign-funded troubles of its own, the protest was actually held at the Malaysian Embassy regarding “political prisoners” the Malaysian government is allegedly holding. What was particularly telling was the tiny, very familiar, clenched fist logo adorning the protesters’ clothing and banners.
The US National Endowment for Democracy (NED)-funded Prachatai propaganda outfit dutifully reported in their article, “Solidarity protest for clean and fair elections and immediate release of Bersih activists,” that on July 1, “students, activists and press gathered outside the Malaysian Embassy, Bangkok, in response to the Malaysian Government’s arrest of more than a hundred members of the coalition network Bersih 2.0 consisting of various Malaysian human rights organizations campaigning for reforms in the electoral system.”
Joining the protest, according to the Bangkok Post, was the People’s Empowerment Foundation, another National Endowment for Democracy-funded front group.’

Canadians to Protest Against Royal Visit
Sunday, 03 July 2011 08:32
‘Around 300 fans of the separatist Quebec Resistance Network are expected to demonstrate outside City Hall when the royal couple gives a visit to the capital as part of their Canadian tour, group member Julien Gaudreau revealed.
Gaudreau claimed that the Resistance Network would “commit pacifist acts of civil disobedience” on July 3, to express their opposition against the amount of money being paid by the Canadian taxpayers for the event.
He stressed that the majority of Quebecers have not been in favor of the British Monarchy, accusing the federal government of carrying out a “propaganda campaign” to encourage positive attitudes among the Canadians right before the royal visit.’
Perfect Pop Star Is Revealed As Digital Fake
This is too funny not to be posted 🙂
It has been revealed that a member of Japan’s biggest girl band does not actually exist.
Fans of the group AKB48 were shocked to learn that the newest addition to the group, Aimi Eguchi, is in fact a computer-generated avatar.
She is a digital creation made up from features of six of the other girls.
Followers became suspicious after Eguchi was chosen to front a major Japanese ice-lolly campaign – an endorsement usually given to the more senior members of the group.
The group’s fans also questioned the perfect pop star’s resemblance to some of the other girls.
Their concerns about whether the star really existed were confirmed this week when her management released a video showing her being created.
Aimi Eguchi is a computer-generated avatar created from other members’ features
Eguchi had posted on her website that she was a normal 16-year-old from a town north of Tokyo who enjoyed track and field sports. In reality she is a digital fake.
AKB48 hold the Guinness record for being the world’s largest pop group with 58 members. They have also scored eight number one singles in Japan.
While bands like Gorillaz have created cartoon alter-egos, AKB48 have taken it a step further.
Times music critic David Sinclair told Sky News: “What is reality these days? You have a lot of people, a lot of images that can be created very quickly and very easily.
“People have avatars on social networking sites, whole films are made of avatars. It’s the world we live in.”
He added: “This doesn’t surprise me about Japan. They’ve always been ahead of the game.”
Confectionary maker Ezaki Glico which uses Eguchi for their marketing campaign has now published a tool on its website allowing fans to create their own AKB48 girls and share them on social networking sites.
