German Bio Attack
Ehec identified as a biological terrorist attack
That could be the contamination with the EHEC bacterium result of an attack and thus the first act of bioterrorism in Germany, we reported on LifeGen.de – demonstrably – nationwide as the first medium. And the only first world Webzine. Fatal meanwhile, is simply that many mainstream counterparts to Fukushima and this catastrophe as such are not recognized in time, and lost valuable time in this way went.
a comment by Vlad Georgescu
We were in the case Ehec clear that the “spread” could not be natural. Food contamination with EHEC are namely per year, and other pathogens, Listeria, for example, who, sometimes with serious diseases. But traceability is always a matter of hours, at most days – there is usually a charge that will be immediately removed from the market.
In the current case, however, it looks different. That fruit and vegetables from northern Germany per se hardly acted as a source of bacilli, is obvious – unless you have contaminated the entire wholesale pallets with it. In such a case could be difficult to elicit, which cargo has been delivered by whom and at what address. Because the infected food was not the goal so analyzed. Moreover, the likelihood that greenhouse tomatoes and cucumbers from conventional cultivation with entero-bacteria come into contact, zero. Such contamination in the past were indeed encountered in organic spinach (USA), but not for fruit and vegetables, and to those already on the basis of their cultivation methods to the profile of the “source” is not.
Our own analysis was therefore on 24.05.2011, and thus before the virologists Kekule, in conclusion: We are dealing with a bacteriological attack. Both proliferation rate and the simultaneous contamination in HH, NISA, Saarland and Hessen, do not permit other scenarios. This thesis, we have posted on Twitter, Facebook and Buzz in German and English to assist state investigators in this unconventional way – since last fall and the mainstream media theory to a question.
Whether a terrorist organization, or only a single perpetrator acted, can not be said at this time. Our only assumption is purely theoretical – but unlike the fairy tale ‘by of massive spread of the disease, “the thesis is based on concrete facts of life, food technology and surveillance. EHEC is a superbug rhaltungselement a clumsy Ferran. Ehec would be as real biological weapon, however a dangerous tool.

Iraqi Authorities Must Stop Clampdown on Peaceful Protest
Thursday, 02 June 2011 07:03
‘Amnesty International has called on the Iraqi authorities to end their clampdown on peaceful protests following the arrest of 15 pro-reform activists in Baghdad in recent days.
Four protesters were arrested by plain-clothed security forces last Friday morning during a peaceful demonstration in Baghdad’s Tahrir Square. They are still being held and are reported to be facing trial on charges of possessing fake ID cards.
Eleven other activists were arrested when security forces raided the Baghdad headquarters of ‘Ayna Haqqi’ (Where is my right), a local NGO, on Saturday. Four were later released but the others, including the NGO’s secretary-general, Ahmed Mohammad Ahmed, are still being held, apparently because they are suspected of involvement in organizing demonstrations in Tahrir Square.’

NATO Wants to Free Africa From the Africans
Thursday, 02 June 2011 07:07
‘As far as the United States and Europe are concerned, Africans have nothing to say about what happens in Africa. South African President Jacob Zuma made a second trip to Libya this week, on behalf of the African Union, seeking a diplomatic end to NATO’s war against Mouammar Gaddafi’s government.
Just as with a previous African Union peace keeping mission, back in early April, Col. Gaddafi agreed to the peace plan. And just as before, the so-called rebels and their American and European bosses refused even to consider a cease fire.
As has been obvious from the beginning of this “humanitarian” farce, the Great White Fathers of Europe and the “Wall Street mascot” from the United States, as Obama has been called, will be satisfied with nothing less than regime change in Libya – and to Hell with what Africans think!’
After Latest Massacre, NATO to Continue Attacks on Afghan Civilians
Thursday, 02 June 2011 07:15
‘The NATO command in Afghanistan Tuesday brushed aside President Hamid Karzai’s demand for a halt to air strikes and night raids on Afghan homes.
Karzai issued the demand in the face of mass popular outrage over a US air strike that killed 14 civilians—10 of them children and two of them women—in the southern Afghan province of Helmand on the night of May 28. It was only the latest in a series of atrocities carried out by American forces that have resulted in mass civilian casualties.
Speaking at a news conference in Kabul, the Afghan president declared, “From this moment, air strikes on the houses of people are not allowed.” Karzai continued by warning: “If after the Afghan government said the aerial bombing of Afghan houses is banned and if it continues, then their presence will change from a war against terrorism to an occupying force. And in that case, Afghan history is witness to how the Afghans deal with occupying forces.”‘

Bahraini Troops Halt Protests by Violence
Thursday, 02 June 2011 06:33
‘Saudi-backed Bahraini troops have attacked anti-government protesters in several villages near the capital Manama, witnesses say.
Despite the lifting of martial law in the tiny Persian Gulf sheikdom on Wednesday, regime forces are beating up people who had poured into the streets to stage protest rallies, Head of Foreign Relation Office of the Bahrain Center for Human Rights Maryam al-Khawaja wrote in an e-mail sent to Press TV.
According to witnesses, dozens of people were injured after regime forces fired birdshots and teargas on protesters in villages around Manama, including Diraz, Bani Jamrah and Karzakan.’
‘Israel Determined to Stop Aid Flotilla’
The official said the Israeli Navy commandos have undergone specialized trainings over the past months and are now fully prepared to stop the aid convoy challenging Israel’s blockade of the Palestinian territory.
A coalition of 22 activist groups said, on Monday during a ceremony marking the first anniversary of Israel’s deadly attack on a Gaza-bound aid flotilla, that the second Freedom Flotilla will set sail for Gaza in late June.
At least nine Turkish activists were killed and many others wounded after Israeli navy commandos attacked the aid flotilla in international waters on May 31 last year.
According to Israeli military sources, the members of the Israeli Navy commando unit, Shayetet 13, who carried out last year’s attack, are preparing to counter the new aid convoy.
According to the Israeli media, commandos have revised their tactics in the wake of the May 31, 2010 raid that drew international condemnation.
International activists say 15 ships, including the Mavi Marmara which was the lead ship in the first Freedom Flotilla, with some 1,500 activists from about 100 countries on board will leave for Gaza from various Mediterranean ports around June 20.
The vessels carrying humanitarian aid and construction materials would meet in international waters south of Cyprus before heading to Gaza, organizers said.
The activists have also called on government to ensure that the deadly incident would not happen again.
Meanwhile, Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman have reportedly asked their counterparts abroad to prevent their nationals from boarding the ships.
US Pentagon to treat cyber-attacks as ‘acts of war
The US is set to publish plans that will categorise cyber-attacks as acts of war, the Pentagon says.
In future, a US president could consider economic sanctions, cyber-retaliation or a military strike if key US computer systems were attacked, officials have said recently.
The planning was given added urgency by a cyber-attack last month on the defence contractor, Lockheed Martin.
A new report from the Pentagon is due out in a matter of weeks.
“A response to a cyber-incident or attack on the US would not necessarily be a cyber-response. All appropriate options would be on the table,” Pentagon spokesman Colonel Dave Lapan told reporters on Tuesday.
Mr Lapan confirmed the Pentagon was drawing up a cyber defence strategy, which would be ready in two to three weeks.
Cyber-attacks from foreign nations that threaten widespread US civilian casualties, like cutting off power supplies or shutting down emergency-responder networks, could be treated as an act of aggression under the new policy.
But the plan does not mention how the US may respond to cyber-attackers, such as terrorists, who are not acting for a nation state.
‘All necessary means’
The Pentagon’s planning follows an international strategy statement on cyber-security, issued by the White House on 16 May.
The US would “respond to hostile acts in cyberspace as we would to any other threat to our country”, stated the White House in plain terms.
“We reserve the right to use all necessary means – diplomatic, informational, military, and economic – as appropriate and consistent with applicable international law, in order to defend our nation, our allies, our partners and our interests.”
The Wall Street Journal quoted a military official as saying: “If you shut down our power grid, maybe we will put a missile down one of your smokestacks.”
White House officials said consideration of a military response to a cyber-attack would constitute a “last resort”, after other efforts to deter an attack had failed, the New York Times newspaper reported.
Sophistication of hackers
One of the difficulties strategists are grappling with is how to track down reliably the cyber-attackers who deliberately obscure the origin of their incursions.
The sophistication of hackers and frequency of the attacks came back into focus after an attack on arms-maker Lockheed Martin on 21 May.
Lockheed said the “tenacious” cyber-attack on its network was part of a pattern of attacks on it from around the world.
The worst cyber-attack against the US military occurred in 2008, when malicious software on a flash drive commandeered computers at US Central Command.
The US defence department estimates that more than 100 foreign intelligence organizations have attempted to break into American networks.
The US is also accused of using cyber warfare against other nations. In 2010 Iran accused the US of helping to develop Stuxnet, a software worm aimed at controlling systems in Iranian nuclear plants.
Goldman Sachs Traded $1.3 Billion in Libyan Funds
Wednesday, 01 June 2011 09:11
‘Goldman Sachs invested more than $1.3 billion (786.1 million pounds) from Libya’s sovereign-wealth fund in currency bets and other trades in 2008 and the investment lost more than 98 percent of its value, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing internal Goldman documents.
When the fund, controlled by Col. Muammar Gaddafi, made huge losses Goldman offered Libya the chance to become one of its biggest shareholders, the Journal said, citing people familiar with the matter.’

GMO Created Foods May Be Used as a Biological Weapon
Wednesday, 01 June 2011 08:27
‘Genetically modified organisms (GMO) which are used to create new food seeds and crops, are being tied to use as a potential biological weapon in creating infertility in places around the world.
A report published on May 28th tied together that the international organization Codex, which is seeking to regulate every food, mineral, and herb in the world used for consumption, does not consider GMO created products as food, and thus they are being placed in a separate sphere of attributes that can be used for alternative functions. Including birth control and creating infertility in a nation or population.’

Pentagon Declares War On Cyber Enemies
Wednesday, 01 June 2011 08:07
‘The Pentagon has announced that computer intrusions from abroad are to be considered acts of war against the United States and will be answered with conventional military force.
“If you shut down our power grid, maybe we will put a missile down one of your smokestacks,” a military official told The Wall Street Journal. In part, the Pentagon intends its plan as a warning to potential adversaries of the consequences of attacking the U.S., according to the Journal.
The Pentagon document is 30 pages in its classified version and 12 pages in the unclassified one. It concludes that the Laws of Armed Conflict are applicable in cyberspace as in traditional warfare.’
