Japan Sets Radiation Limits For Infant Drinks Twice The International Legal Limit For Nuclear Waste
Thursday, 07 July 2011 12:21
‘The “temporary safe limit” for radiation in food and beverages in Japan has been set to levels higher than the international legal limits for nuclear waste. Infant beverages have been set twice as higher as the nuclear waste limit and for children and adults between 3 to 4 times the nuclear waste limit. In food the limit has been set up to 20 times international nuclear waste limits and of course all of these levels are hundreds of times higher than legal limits allowed in food in beverages of other nations around the world.
Yet, Japanese officials continue their campaign of lying to the public, as you’ll see in the video below, to convince the people these limits are safe.’
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.’
US-led Strike Kills 13 Civilians

‘”Unfortunately eight women, four children, and one man were killed in a NATO airstrike on a residential house in Dowamanda district (of Khost) early this morning,” AFP quoted provincial police chief Mohamad Zazai as saying.
In the past 24 hours, foreign forces have killed at least 17 civilians across Afghanistan — many of them women and children.
Following the US-led military attack, a large crowd of Afghans held an angry protest rally against the foreign forces.’
Plans to Strip Mine the Moon May Soon be More Than Just Science-Fiction
Friday, 08 July 2011 07:20
‘It may not be long before we start mining the moon for its resources, particularly the rare Helium-3 for its use in nuclear fusion.
Billions of tonnes of resources, ranging from water to gases to metals, have been detected on the Moon and further out into space, and both governments and private companies are navigating the ambiguous legal parlance to determine how to reach, extract and distribute it all.’

Spacecraft detects most powerful lightning storm yet on Saturn; still raging months later
By Alicia Chang, The Associated Press | The Canadian Press – Wed, 6 Jul, 2011
LOS ANGELES, Calif. – It began as a bright white dot in Saturn’s northern hemisphere. Within days, the dot grew larger and stormier.
Soon the tempest enveloped the ringed planet, triggering lightning flashes thousands of times more intense than on Earth.
The international Cassini spacecraft and ground telescopes have been tracking the turbulence since last December, visible from Earth as a type of storm known as a “Great White Spot.”
“It’s still going like crazy,” said Cassini project scientist Linda Spilker of the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
Such planet-wide weather disturbances are rare on Saturn, where the atmosphere is typically hazy and calm. Since 1876, astronomers have observed only five other megastorms on Saturn.
“This is a one-of-a-kind storm,” said Andrew Ingersoll, a self-described planetary weatherman at the California Institute of Technology, who was part of the discovery team.
Scientists have long studied weather on other planets. One of the solar system’s most famous landmarks is Jupiter’s Great Red Spot, a hurricane-like storm that has been raging for centuries. Landers and rovers to Mars’ surface often carried weather stations, dodged dust storms and sought favourable places to park during the winter.
An instrument aboard Cassini, which is orbiting Saturn, first picked up radio outbursts on Dec. 5, 2010, from a lightning storm. Around the same time, amateur astronomers peering through telescopes saw a bright point in Saturn’s northern half. Further observations confirmed it was a brewing storm.
The storm system, which occurred during the start of Saturn spring, grew in size and intensity, eventually stretching around the planet. Scientists don’t exactly know what stirs up the storms, but they think it could be linked to the change of seasons.
At the height of the storm, Cassini detected 10 lightning strikes per second. Scientists said the electrical activity emitted by the bursts were 10,000 times stronger than lightning on Earth.
The findings were described in two papers published in Thursday’s issue of the journal Nature.
The new work represents “some of the most detailed observations so far of such a dramatic event,” Peter Read of the University of Oxford wrote in an accompanying editorial.
Saturn’s violent weather differs from Earth and Jupiter in significant ways. Lightning storms on Earth tend to be localized and short-lived, lasting only a few hours. Jupiter storms can last for days and lightning is far more common there than on Saturn.
Since entering orbit around Saturn in 2004, Cassini has witnessed 10 storms in a region of the southern hemisphere known as “storm alley” because of the high level of storm activity.
The previous storms were much weaker compared with the latest one, the first to be detected in the northern hemisphere.

US Warns Against Palestinian Statehood
Thursday, 07 July 2011 08:08
‘US State Department Spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said on Wednesday that Washington’s position on “the idea of a UN action in September remains that it is not a good idea, that it is not helpful.”
Nuland made the remarks as chief Palestinian negotiator, Saeb Erakat, met with US President Barack Obama’s acting Middle East envoy David Hale and senior US diplomat Dennis Ross on Wednesday, AFP reported.
“We do not see a contradiction between the efforts being exerted to revive the peace process and our bid to go to the UN,” Erakat told reporters after his talks at the US State Department.’
Obama Administration Shuts Down Investigations Into Bush-era Torture
Thursday, 07 July 2011 09:23
‘As part of its cover-up of Bush administration war crimes, the Obama administration announced June 30 that it would shut down 99 investigations into deaths of prisoners in US custody during the so-called “war on terror,” leaving only two investigations with the potential to develop into criminal prosecutions.
The announcement underscores the fact that the anti-democratic policies developed during the presidency of George W. Bush continue unchallenged under President Barack Obama, who is doing everything in his power to keep the lid on the crimes of his predecessor.’

Cruel Medical Radiation
Thursday, 07 July 2011 09:31
‘With radiation levels increasing accross the entire northern hemisphere the radiation your doctor uses takes on a new dangerous meaning. Physicians know that radiation is dangerous but they cannot help themselves, they love to use radiation both in testing and in treatment. Modifying physician behavior is hard thing to do but we have to do it and do it now in the radiation departments. How doctors and hospitals relate to and use radiation in both diagnosis and treatment of disease needs to come under full review and in most cases be brought to a halt.’

‘Belly Bombs’: Government Claims Phantom Terrorists Will Surgically Implant Explosives In Humans
Thursday, 07 July 2011 09:43
‘In response to a Department of Homeland Security warning to airlines that it believes terrorists want to bypass full body scanners and blow up commercial airliners by planting bombs inside humans, the TSA has indicated it will intensify security procedures across the nation’s airports.
“The Department of Homeland Security has identified a potential threat from terrorists who may be considering surgically implanting explosives or explosive components in humans to conduct terrorist attacks,” an advisory to foreign counterparts notes, according to an unnamed U.S. security official.
The advisory says that the DHS believes terrorists could inject a detonating chemical into themselves to trigger the so called “belly bombs”.’
