2020 Dems seize on MLK Day for campaign messaging BY MICHAEL BURKE - 01/21/19 09:07 PM EST

Democratic presidential hopefuls on Monday seized Martin Luther King Jr. Day to promote their respective campaign messages even as the 2020 field continues to broaden. Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) kicked off the holiday by announcing her candidacy, while Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) and other potential frontrunners made public appearances tying their messages to the civil rights leader. Appearing Monday on ABC's "Good Morning America," Harris declared her bid and said she was honored to do so on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. ADVERTISEMENT "Today, the day we celebrate Dr. King, is a very special day for all of us as Americans, and I'm honored to be able to make my announcement on the day that we commemorate him," she said. In announcing her bid, Harris became the latest of several Democratic senators to enter the field.

“The beginning of the end of the Trump presidency” Bill Palmer | 10:05 pm EST November 29, 2018

Trump has managed to survive one ugly shocking revelation and criminal scandal after another. So is he finally toast? Let’s check in someone who would know. How about we ask Neal Katyal, the former Acting Solicitor General of the United States, who spent time working in the uppermost rungs of the Department of Justice, and has some familiarity with the criminal and political implications here. Katyal appeared on Hardball with Chris Matthews this evening and didn’t mince words. He said that today will go down as the “beginning of the end of the Trump presidency.” We’re inclined to agree. What happens next? click above to read on..

It’s sometime after midnight on the east coast, meaning that it’s tomorrow already, and I couldn’t begin to tell you what’s going to happen once the sun comes up. I mean, we know what the chess board looks like as the day begins. It’s just that is some kind of bizarro Alice through the looking glass chess board where half the pieces are moving at the same time, some of the pieces are invisible, other pieces are on hallucinogenic drugs, and some of these chess pieces are just little statues of Rudy Giuliani making various pained faces. So let’s see what we’re really looking at here.

Donald Trump is circling the drain and everyone around him knows it Bill Palmer 11:33pmEST November

Donald Trump is circling the drain so swiftly, his own people are rushing to the media to sound the alarm – and many of them are cracking up as badly as he is. For instance, some of Trump’s people are telling MSN that since the midterms, he’s retreated into a “cocoon of bitterness and resentment” and they’re all trying to keep their distance from him. Another Trump insider is telling Politico that Trump has become so withdrawn, allowing his people to run amok in the process, his White House has become something out of a Maury Povich episode.

Stacey Abrams Refusing to Concede Georgia's Gerrymandered Election: ''Were we speaking of the former Soviet Republic of Georgia, there would be little doubt that the American Department of State would be taking a long jaundiced look. But the shenanigans are strictly those of Republican gubernatorial candidate and Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp, who officially oversaw the very election in which he participated – and “won.” '' [ Robert Harrington | 11:40 pm EST November 7, 2018 Palmer Report » Analysis ]

A whole lot of Robert Mueller’s cards are suddenly showing Bill Palmer| 9:10 pm EDT November 1 2018

If there’s one thing we all know about Special Counsel Robert Mueller, it’s that he keeps all his cards close to the vest, so he can catch his targets utterly by surprise when he comes out of nowhere and makes his biggest moves. Yet there are times when even he can’t keep something secret, because a court filing is made public, or a witness goes running to the media, or so on. But that tends to happen with Mueller only on occasion. That’s what makes this week’s revelations all the more surprising.

Fear The Traitor From Within More Than The Murderer:

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.” ― Marcus Tullius Cicero [click on image above for more quotes from Cicero]

Murder by mind control [HARRY HAMBURG | 5 SEPTEMBER 2018]

If you commit suicide while your thoughts are being controlled by someone else, is it really suicide, or is it murder? This is a question I’ve been thinking about after connecting the dots between three seemingly unlinked areas: parasites, artificial intelligence (AI) and brain-computer interfaces. As you’ll see, the three are much more connected than they first appear. And their combination throws up some interesting questions. Real-life mind control There is a species of fungus called Cordyceps that feasts on its host’s internal organs and then forces it to commit suicide. When it has eaten enough of the host’s organs it moves on to its brain. It takes control and tells the host to climb to the top of the nearest plant or tree, then clamp its jaws on a leaf and wait to die. After a short while the fungus then consumes the host’s brain, killing it, and bursts out of its head. After a few weeks of growth the Cordyceps releases its spores, which land on new hosts and the cycle continues. Thankfully for us, Cordyceps only attacks insects. And it lives in the jungle. However, it is so successful it can wipe out entire insect colonies. It was featured on Planet Earth in 2008. You can watch a short three-minute clip of it here. But be warned, it will leave you feeling uneasy. Another parasite, the lancet liver fluke, goes one better. This worm larvae lives in snail slime. When an ant eats this slime, the lancet liver fluke burrows into the ant’s brain and takes control of its mind. During the day the ant acts normally. But come evening, the ant will find the nearest blade of grass and climb it over and over again, until it is eaten by a grazing animal. If no animal comes along and eats it by the time the sun comes up, the ant goes back to its normal life… until the next evening when the process repeats itself. This strange cycle can continue for up to a year. When the ant is eventually eaten, it dies. But the lancet liver fluke moves to the animal’s liver where it lives out the rest of its days. While there the parasite produces more larvae which make its way out of the animal in its dung. Then a snail comes along and eats the dung. The parasite goes through the snail and is left in its slime trail. Then an ant comes along, eats the slime and ingests the parasite. The weirdest thing about an ant infested by the lancet liver fluke is that during the day it acts completely normal. It’s only at night that it becomes suicidal. There are many other parasites which do similar, crazy things to their hosts. Hairworms make crickets seek out water and drown themselves. Certain wasp larvae turn ladybirds into braindead bodyguards patrolling over wasp cocoons. Another species of wasp larvae invades the brain of its host caterpillar and cause it to whip about to scare off predators while the larvae’s siblings eat it from the inside out. Parasites are, frankly, terrifying. And the worst part is, we don’t even know how they achieve this mind control on their hosts. It’s usually referred to as an “unknown mechanism” or controlled by “unknown chemicals” So now we get to my second dot, AI....click above to continue reading....for the YouTubeClip copy and paste: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XuKjBIBBAL8

Michael Cohen cut a plea deal, in an SDNY criminal case that is all but officially Mueller’s. The National Enquirer and the CFO of the Trump Organization cut immunity deals.

Yes, the SDNY is a separate federal entity. But Mueller handed off the Cohen case to the SDNY, which would never have done anything with the case unless Mueller unofficially signed off on it. Now, new revelations are making clear that not only has Mueller been pursuing Cohen all along, it’s always been all about the Trump Organization.

It’s debatable as to precisely when that window began closing, but as of this week it’s slammed shut entirely............. the District Attorney for Manhattan revealed this week that he’s looking at criminal charges against top Trump Organization officials. Not only is it now a given that Trump’s assets will be seized and his kids will be criminally prosecuted, it may even happen while Trump is still in office.

Duncan Hunter indictment scrambles California election plans BY MELANIE ZANONA - 08/23/18 06:00 AM

Rep. Duncan Hunter’s (R) indictment has put his traditionally red seat in Southern California in play this fall, further scrambling the GOP’s effort to hang on to its majority. Democrats had already planned to use the FBI investigation into Hunter’s alleged misuse of campaign funds as a weapon against Duncan in the midterms. But the indictment, which claims Hunter and his wife misused thousands of dollars in campaign money to pay for lavish vacations and other personal expenses, has given new ammunition to Democrats in their quest to flip Hunter’s seat.

Trump responded by insisting on Twitter that he knew about it all along, and that he gave his people permission to cooperate in such a manner. This is unlikely, considering that McGahn has done a ton of damage to Trump’s prospects of staying out of jail. But it’s notable that Trump referred to his people, plural, instead of just McGahn. So who else has been undermining him?

Donald Trump’s security clearance stunt quickly blows up in his face Bill Palmer | 6:30 pm EDT July

In his latest attempt at distracting us from his criminal scandals and carrying out petty personal revenge on those who have called him out for his crimes, Donald Trump is now seeking to revoke the security clearances of several former U.S. intelligence community leaders. His Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders announced this morning from the White House press briefing podium that Trump plans to revoke the clearances of John Brennan, James Clapper, James Comey, Michael Hayden, Andrew McCabe and Susan Rice. However, it quickly blew up in his face. While all of the above people have held high ranking U.S. intel positions in recent years, none of them still have those jobs. Trump’s revocation of their security clearances would be symbolic at best, somewhere along the lines of taking down a former employee’s retirement plaque. But it turns out that, in at least one instance, what Trump is talking about isn’t even possible – because no such clearance exists.......

Huntman's family-owned newspaper ran a column urging him to step down after President Trump’s joint press conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin.In the piece published in The Salt Lake Tribune, which is owned by Hunstman’s brother, Huntsman said that he would stay on the job after conducting “an unscientific survey among my colleagues” and asking his own naval officer sons if he should resign. “The laughter told me everything I needed to know,” the ambassador and former Utah governor wrote. “It also underscores the fragile nature of this moment.” His sons' response, he said, was "unprintable."

[Global Security:Pentagon In Chaos After Trump-Putin Summit Declarations]

The Pentagon has been caught flat-footed after President Trump’s meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin this week, with defense officials struggling to explain statements coming out of Moscow that the two leaders reached agreements involving military issues. Adding to the angst, Defense Secretary James Mattis has kept a low profile amid backlash to Trump's comments in Europe. While he met with his counterparts there, Mattis remained offstage for the president's trip and was not in attendance at this week’s Cabinet meeting. Mattis, a retired Marine Corps general and former NATO commander, has made no secret of his opinion of Russia, telling reporters traveling with him last week that Moscow has chosen to “undermine the fabric of nations that are young in their democratic processes … whether through false news reporting, economic strictures and interventions.”

Once everyone figured out that it was Dana Rohrabacher, he admitted that he did indeed meet with Butina during the election.

If any of them knew that Butina was also repping Russia, and that the money they were getting from the NRA was being funneled from the Kremlin, then they’re all going to prison.

The real reason Alan Dershowitz is flipping out about Donald Trump

The Dershowitz Enigma:Alan Dershowitz once called on U.S. Zionist organizations to ''intimidate'' institutions into supporting Israel. His almost fanatical support of Donald J. Trump suggest's such groups and prominent individuals such as Dershowitz are now 'singing from the same hymn sheet', regardless of the effect and impact of such inflammatory language and statements on America's global interests and image as the world's foremost superpower and leader of the free world. There appears to be no other sound basis why Dershowitz would proffer excuses for every abomination Trump commits - including the latter's establishment of concentration camps for migrants and promoting disaffection within the U.S. Armed Forces as attempts are made to, effectively intimidate and demoralize such with their new tasks as concentration camp guards. Tim Faulkner gives us an insightful analysis as to other factors which might be motivating Dershowitz's actions.

''There's nothing left but an empty universe....I'm all burnt out...I've nothing left to give....I feel so empty inside'' ...these are reportedly the last words Melania Trump's soul cried out before committing suicide. [Police have not ruled out foul play but Rudy Giuliani has already refused Adam Schiff's demand to have Robert Mueller's scope for investigating Trump, Deutsche Bank, Money Laundering, The Mob, The Russian Mafia. and Russia collusion in the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election to be expanded to include this suicide.]

Exclusive! Melania wants 'out' (of the marriage) but Trump won't hear of it (!)

A confidential source say's that not only do the Trumps no longer sleep together (nor have they for some time) but Melania's recent mental breakdown and hospitalization was caused by her husband's insistence that she stay in their failed marriage: ''he knows so much about me and my family I don't know what to do''.....'' everything has to be on his terms.... what I want is immaterial''...... she sobbed to a confidant .......... (There is also a rumor that Mrs Melania Trump, The First Lady, may have attempted suicide during her distressed state. The New York Post article above may give some indication as to her mental and emotional health earlier this year.)

Anonymous Source Confirms That Melania Trump's Hospitalization Was Really A ''Mental Health'' Issue

An anonymous source has told 'Hollywood Life' that Melania Trump's life has been 'turned upside down' by the public sex scandal revelations and 'Russiagate' surrounding President Donald Trump: ''As a very private person Melania has been 'devastated'......''..... “Melania really is getting to the point now where she just wishes Donald’s presidency was over, and she can’t wait to return to her ‘regular’ life again, even though she realizes it will never be quite the same.” (Anonymous Source)

Twitter Lift's Suspension On The Palmer Report

Here comes Robert Mueller’s takedown of Julian Assange Bill Palmer | 10:51 pm EDT May 24, 2018

Eight weeks ago, just as Special Counsel Robert Mueller was confronting Julian Assange’s associate Ted Malloch in an airport and subpoenaing him to testify before a grand jury, Ecuador began cracking down on Assange’s privileges. Palmer Report pointed out at the time that it was an unmistakable sign that Mueller was preparing to move on Assange, and Ecuador knew it, and it was taking the first steps toward giving him up. Sure enough, we’re learning this evening that, just as Mueller is preparing to move on Assange’s U.S. co-conspirator, Ecuador is preparing to shove Assange out the back door....(click on the image above to read more...)

Robert Mueller says he’s done with George Papadopoulos, and it means someone big is about to get in

Although it’s never been officially confirmed, it’s not difficult to parse that Mueller cut the plea deal with Papadopoulos in order to get him to testify against his supervisor, Trump campaign co-chair Sam Clovis. If there were going to be a Clovis trial, Mueller would need Papadopoulos to testify that trial. So this means there will be no Clovis trial. Logically, this tells us that Clovis has flipped on someone bigger. This dovetails with earlier widespread reports that Clovis showed up and testified for a Mueller grand jury. So who’s the big fish here?

Judge rules Trump can't block users on Twitter BY LYDIA WHEELER - 05/23/18 01:02 PM EDT

Trump's Use Of Twitter For Government Purposes Means He Does Not Enjoy the Right To Be Treated As A Private Citizen;Judge Naomi Reice Buchwald, of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, said President Trump’s Twitter account is a public forum and blocking people who reply to his tweets with differing opinions constitutes viewpoint discrimination, which violates the First Amendment. The court’s ruling is a major win for the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University, which brought the lawsuit on behalf of seven people who were blocked from the @realDonaldTrump account because of opinions they expressed in reply tweets.

Trump ''Flirts'' With Constitutional Crisis

A president instructing the DOJ to open a criminal probe at his behest would be a startling break with precedent, calling into question the independence of law enforcement from partisan politics. “It is, in fact, one of his moves that are kind of characteristic of banana republic regimes, where he just sees the apparatus of the DOJ as something to use in a tit-for-tat way to get back at enemies,” said Harry Litman, who served as a deputy assistant attorney general during the Clinton administration.

Senate panel approves bill to protect special counsel BY JORDAIN CARNEY - 04/26/18 11:09 AM EDT

The Senate Judiciary Committee approved legislation on Thursday to protect special counsel Robert Mueller. In a 14-7 vote, the panel approved the bipartisan proposal that deeply divided Republicans on the committee. With every committee Democrat backing the legislation, only one Republican was needed to secure passage. In the end, four Republicans voted for the bill: Sens. Thom Tillis (N.C.), Lindsey Graham (S.C.), Chuck Grassley (Iowa) and Jeff Flake (Ariz.). Republican Sens. Orrin Hatch (Utah), Mike Lee (Utah), John Cornyn (Texas), Mike Crapo (Idaho), Ben Sasse (Neb.), John Kennedy (La.) and Ted Cruz (Texas) opposed it.

Israel halts refugee deportation plan, UN to help with resettlement

After major public campaigns inside Israel and abroad, pressure on the Rwandan government not to accept refugees deported by Israel, and ultimately effective legal challenges, Israel announces it will scrap its mass deportation plan and work with the UN to resettle African asylum seekers in Western countries. This is a huge victory but there may be more fight ahead.Some 20,000 African asylum seekers and human rights activists protest against the Israeli government’s mass deportation plan in Rabin Square in Tel Aviv on March 24, 2018.

Howard Dean points to “treason charges” in Trump-Russia scandal

Howard Dean, the former Governor of Vermont and former DNC Chair, tweeted this on Saturday afternoon after a series of Trump-Russia developments: “Based on what Brennan has said and what the Mercers did, I am thinking there will be treason charges before we are done with all this.” So what precisely is Dean referring to? “Brennan” is in reference to retired CIA Director John Brennan, who recently asserted that Donald Trump’s status as a Russian puppet is a threat to national security, and tweeted this morning that Trump will be a “disgraced demagogue in the dustbin of history.”

As Trump Purges McCabe, The Last Witness To His Criminal Request Which Comey Rebuffed and Reported:

While selling out America to conspire with Russia to steal the 2016 election is likely what Donald Trump will go down for, he also sealed his fate on February 14, 2017 when he asked FBI Director James Comey to end his investigation into Mike Flynn, Trump’s first National Security Adviser. Comey would go on to testify before the Senate Intelligence Committee that Trump told him, “I hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting Flynn go.” We would later learn that Comey shared the details of all of his conversations with Trump with three other individuals in the FBI – Andrew McCabe, Jim Baker, and James Rybicki.Jim Baker, who served as General Counsel, was reassigned in December 2017. James Rybicki, FBI chief of staff under Comey, was forced out by Republican pressure in January 2018. Now FBI Deputy Director McCabe has been fired, just two days short of receiving his full pension. Within hours of the news of his firing, Trump couldn’t contain his sense of vengeful accomplishment by tweeting out about the sudden termination. This deliberate purging of the very people Comey shared his conversations with will not go unnoticed.....

Nightclub provides new clues about Donald Trump’s Pee Pee Tape

When Donald Trump was putting together plans for his Miss Universe pageant in Russia in 2013, he held a planning meeting with Rob Goldstone and Emin Agalarov at a nightclub in Las Vegas. Why did Trump choose this particular club?It may have something to do with the fact that the strippers working at the club were simulating urinating on the patrons. Yahoo News says the club was eventually shut down because of it (link). Trump surely would have known about these kinds of antics when he chose the club for his meeting. This helps to verify that Trump really is into this particular fetish, and it goes a long way to giving validity to Trump’s “Pee Pee Tape” incident in Russia, which is alleged to have taken place just a short time later.

This was an Attack. By a Hostile Nation who had specific designs to undermine our Election and they sought out an Audience with a Candidate who they believed would do their bidding. The recent Indictments would seem to bear those facts out. The problem is not only the Crime but our perception of what the crime was.........But Conspiring with an Enemy of our Country to affect the outcome of an Election is definitely against the law. We have to collectively stop using the word because all we do is fuel the idea that somehow this is innocent. It wasn’t. This was a plot against our Nation. The only thing we do not know is, who came up with it and where? Did it originate with Trump? Putin? Manafort? But whoever, this was a strategy and it was based on a money making Scheme. The money was about Trump getting financing, and for Putin to have Sanctions lifted or unenforced by the Next President. It was definitely not Collusion. It was Treason. This was no different than when Benedict Arnold conspired with the British Military to hand over to them West Point. In the end, Arnold took the money and joined the British and then eventually fled to England. We have to make sure these people are brought to Justice. Read more from this author.

A 21st century Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists Seminar

Abstract: Founded in 1945 by Manhattan Project scientists who “could not remain aloof to the consequences of their work,” the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists aimed to chronicle the dawn of the nuclear age through the words of the men and women who built the atomic bomb. In 1947, Bulletin supporters—including a veritable Who’s Who of nuclear physics, from Einstein and Fermi to Szilard and Oppenheimer—expanded their four-page newsletter into a magazine that featured a minimalist clock, ticking toward the midnight of nuclear Armageddon, on its cover. More than 70 years later, the now-famous Doomsday Clock is set each January to reflect the world’s security situation. That event is now covered by thousands of media outlets around the world, and today’s Bulletin is hardly your grandfather’s niche magazine.

Collapsing Trump administration forced to withdraw yet another nominee

Donald Trump’s presidency hasn’t merely been the most criminally corrupt and treasonously illegitimate in the history of the United States; it’s also been the most incompetent and unstable. In just a year, Trump has lost dozens of his own handpicked people. He’s now on his second Chief of Staff, his second Press Secretary, his third Communications Director, his second National Security Adviser, and there have been reports that he wants to fire everyone from the FBI Director to the Attorney General to the Secretary of State.

The Presidential Line of Succession

With his immediate family surrounded by Israeli-trained private security - which he trusts more than the U.S. Secret Service - whose constitutional role it is to protect a sitting President - there is little worry nor concern of assassination by President Trump. But, things change. Things happen - over which even private security 24/7 nor the Secret Service have any control. There are many reasons Presidential succession facts are worth noting. An incumbent President can die in Office for many other reasons - of a stroke, heart attack, combination, or other ailment. Succession is important because continuity of process is a key part of democracy. The following link(s) above will help you to appreciate how the process continues after an incumbent U.S. President suddenly departs - for whatever reason.

'VT':Trump and His Organized Crime 'Mafia' Push The World Into A New Nuclear Arms Race

If you have been reading this blogs 'side' news feeds, you know already that Russia has secretly been developing 'new generation' weapons (outside existing treaty agreements) some of which are ''insane'' in comprehension (watch below) - and all to counter NATO's military expansion into Eastern Europe which Russia regards as gross violation of agreed boundaries at the end of the Cold War. In response to this the U.S. is now playing 'catch-up' in an arms race which NATO members (excluding the Gulf States) cannot afford but are obliged to meet as contributors.

''Dare To Dream'' [May 14th-18th, 2019, Tel Aviv, Israel]

As Israel prepares to host the Eurovision Song Contest this weekend under the slogan ''Dare To Dream'', Palestinians share a video of their dream for freedom while the rest of Europe applauds the Contestants - ignoring their plight and daily suffering - as outcasts in their own land:

The progressive Israeli website + 972 originally hosted this video until it was served with a security banning order.

Unfortunately we cannot display this video from the Israeli website of +972

https://972mag.com/eurovision-israel-palestine-dreams/141358/

(copy + paste)

They have been notified by the Israeli authorities it cannot be displayed nor can they (+972) give the public reasons why the video has been banned.

It is a simple video, non-violent, where young Palestinians voice their own dreams for freedom and the hope that, some day, they too, can ''Dare To Dream.''

''THE SUM OF ALL FEARS'' [With A Few Twists]

The Sum Of All Fears

[Robert Harrington |12:01 pm EDT May 4, 2019

Palmer Report » Analysis]

This article represents the culmination of an idea for which I laid the groundwork in my previous two articles. In “The real reason William Barr is committing crimes for Donald Trump,” I posited that Attorney General William Barr appears to be wholly unconcerned about the legal peril he has placed himself in – by lying to Congress, by obstructing justice, and so on – and that he told lies that he fully knew would be easy to discover and identify as lies. I suggested we ought to be worried about why he appears so counterintuitively unworried about all this, and so we should.

In my penultimate article, “There is nothing magic about Donald Trump,” I give evidence to the effect that Donald Trump possesses no special powers of charisma, that he has cast no spell over anyone, that everything everyone does for Trump they do with clear-eyed, self-aware volition. If anything, Donald Trump is so repellant a human being personally that most political operatives and insiders would find the idea of falling on their swords for him positively laughable. No one in Washington loves Donald Trump. He is only loved by people who don’t know him......................

Yesterday we learned that Deutsche Bank has multiple years of Trump’s tax returns in addition to his banking records, and is turning them over to House Democrats as soon as Trump’s fleeting legal efforts fail. The Democrats don’t need all of Trump’s former advisers to come forward and publicly testify about his obstruction of justice. The more the merrier, but they only need one of them to agree to go before the television cameras in order to make the case to the American people. [Palmer Analysis,0:25 pm EDT May 2, 2019]

Diego Garcia is an atoll located south of the equator in the central Indian Ocean. Diego Garcia is the largest of the 60 small islands comprising the Chagos Archipelago. Diego Garcia was settled by the French in the 1790s and was transferred to British rule after the Napoleonic Wars. It was one of the “Dependencies” of the British Colony of Mauritius until it was detached for inclusion in the newly created British Indian Ocean Territory (BIOT) in 1965. Between 1968 and 1973, the population of the BIOT was removed to Mauritius and The Seychelles, following which the United States built a large naval and military base on Diego Garcia, which has been in continuous operation ever since. As of March 2015, Diego Garcia is the only inhabited island of the BIOT; the population is composed of military personnel and supporting contractors. Population 4,239. .

Be Under No Illusion,The Afghanistan Emirate Will Consist Of The Taliban and ISIL in Government

THE ART OF BETRAYAL:''During his SOTU speech Donald Trump called the Islamic Emirate as “the other side”, and the use of this term by a US president showcases the deep change in US political narrative from which a positive outcome can be expected in the negotiations process. The former presidents George W. Bush and Barak Obama under the influence of not coming to grips with realities used to call the Taliban (Islamic Emirate) as terrorists and hurled irrational accusations against them during their SOTU speeches. But now that Donald Trump has refrained from using such terms for the Islamic Emirate and called them “the other side” then this can have a very positive impact on the ongoing negotiations process between the Islamic Emirate and White House alongside it being an acceptance of realities.''

Genetically Engineered Bioweapons: A New Breed of Weapons for Modern Warfare

Genome sequencing has given rise to a new generation of genetically engineered bioweapons carrying the potential to change the nature of modern warfare and defense.
Introduction
Biological weapons are designed to spread disease among people, plants, and animals through the introduction of toxins and microorganisms such as viruses and bacteria. The method through which a biological weapon is deployed depends on the agent itself, its preparation, its durability, and the route of infection. Attackers may disperse these agents through aerosols or food and water supplies (1).
Although bioweapons have been used in war for many centuries, a recent surge in genetic understanding, as well as a rapid growth in computational power, has allowed genetic engineering to play a larger role in the development of new bioweapons. In the bioweapon industry, genetic engineering can be used to manipulate genes to create new pathogenic characteristics aimed at enhancing the efficacy of the weapon through increased survivability, infectivity, virulence, and drug resistance (2). While the positive societal implications of improved biotechnology are apparent, the “black biology” of bioweapon development may be “one of the gravest threats we will face” (2).
Limits of Past Bioweapons
Prior to recent advances in genetic engineering, bioweapons were exclusively natural pathogens. Agents must fulfill numerous prerequisites to be considered effective military bioweapons, and most naturally occurring pathogens are ill suited for this purpose (3). First, bioweapons must be produced in large quantities. A pathogen can be obtained from the natural environment if enough can be collected to allow purification and testing of its properties. Otherwise, pathogens could be produced in a microbiology laboratory or bank, a process which is limited by pathogen accessibility and the safety with which the pathogens can be handled in facilities. To replicate viruses and some bacteria, living cells are required. The growth of large quantities of an agent can be limited by equipment, space, and the health risks associated with the handling of hazardous germs (1). In addition to large-scale production, effective bioweapons must act quickly, be environmentally robust, and their effects must be treatable for those who are implementing the bioweapon (3).
Recent Advances
As researchers continue to transition from the era of DNA sequencing into the era of DNA synthesis, it may soon become feasible to synthesize any virus whose DNA sequence is known (4). This was first demonstrated in 2001 when Dr. Eckard Wimmer re-created the poliovirus and again in 2005 when Dr. Jeffrey Taubenberger and Terrence Tumpey re-created the 1918 influenza virus (1). The progress of DNA synthesis technology will also allow for the creation of novel pathogens. According to biological warfare expert Dr. Steven Block, genetically engineered pathogens “could be made safer to handle, easier to distribute, capable of ethnic specificity, or be made to cause higher mortality rates” (2).
The growing accessibility of DNA synthesis capabilities, computational power, and information means that a growing number of people will have the capacity to produce bioweapons. Scientists have been able to transform the four letters of DNA—A (adenine), C (cytosine), G (guanine), and T (thymine)—into the ones and zeroes of binary code. This transformation makes genetic engineering a matter of electronic manipulation, which decreases the cost of the technique (4). According to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, “the emerging gene synthesis industry is making genetic material more widely available […] A crude but effective terrorist weapon can be made using a small sample of any number of widely available pathogens, inexpensive equipment, and college-level chemistry and biology.” (5)

Techniques to Enhance Efficacy of Bioweapons
Scientists and genetic engineers are considering several techniques to increase the efficacy of pathogens in warfare.
1. Binary Biological Weapons
This technique involves inserting plasmids, small bacterial DNA fragments, into the DNA of other bacteria in order to increase virulence or other pathogenic properties within the host bacteria (2).
2. Designer Genes
According to the European Bioinformatics Institute, as of December 2012, scientists had sequenced the genomes of 3139 viruses, 1016 plasmids, and 2167 bacteria, some of which are published on the internet and are therefore accessible to the public (6). With complete genomes available and the aforementioned advances in gene synthesis, scientists will soon be able to design pathogens by creating synthetic genes, synthetic viruses, and possibly entirely new organisms (2).
3. Gene Therapy
Gene therapy involves repairing or replacing a gene of an organism, permanently changing its genetic composition. By replacing existing genes with harmful genes, this technique can be used to manufacture bioweapons (2).
4. Stealth Viruses
Stealth viruses are viral infections that enter cells and remain dormant for an extended amount of time until triggered externally to cause disease. In the context of warfare, these viruses could be spread to a large population, and activation could either be delayed or used as a threat for blackmail (2).
5. Host-Swapping Diseases
Much like the naturally occurring West Nile and Ebola viruses, animal viruses could potentially be genetically modified and developed to infect humans as a potent biowarfare tactic (2).
6. Designer Diseases
Biotechnology may be used to manipulate cellular mechanisms to cause disease. For example, an agent could be designed to induce cells to multiply uncontrollably, as in cancer, or to initiate apoptosis, programmed cell death (2).
7. Personalized Bioweapons
In coming years it may be conceivable to design a pathogen that targets a specific person’s genome. This agent may spread through populations showing minimal or no symptoms, yet it would be fatal to the intended target (4).
Biodefense
In addition to creating bioweapons, the emerging tools of genetic knowledge and biological technology may be used as a means of defense against these weapons.
1. Human Genome Literacy
As scientific research continues to reveal the functions of specific genes and how genetic components affect disease in humans, vaccines and drugs can be designed to combat particular pathogens based on analysis of their particular molecular effect on the human cell (2).
2. Immune System Enhancement
In addition to enabling more effective drug development, human genome literacy allows for a better understanding of the immune system. Thus, genetic engineering can be used to enhance human immune response to pathogens. As an example, Dr. Ken Alibek is conducting cellular research in pursuit of protection against the bioweapon anthrax (2).
3. Viral and Bacterial Genome Literacy
Decoding the genomes of viruses and bacteria will lead to molecular explanations behind virulence and drug resistance. With this information, bacteria can be engineered to produce bioregulators against pathogens. For example, Xoma Corporation has patented a bactericidal/permeability-increasing (BPI) protein, made from genes inserted into bacterial DNA, which reverses the resistance characteristic of particular bacteria against some popular antibiotics (2).
4. Efficient Bio-Agent Detection and Identification Equipment
Because the capability of comparing genomes using DNA assays has already been acquired, such technology may be developed to identify pathogens using information from bacterial and viral genomes. Such a detector could be used to identify the composition of bioweapons based on their genomes, reducing present-day delays in resultant treatment and/or preventive measures (2).
5. New Vaccines
Current scientific research projects involve genetic manipulation of viruses to create vaccines that provide immunity against multiple diseases with a single treatment (2).
6. New Antibiotics and Antiviral Drugs
Currently, antibiotic drugs target DNA synthesis, protein synthesis, and cell-wall synthesis processes in bacterial cells. With an increased understanding of microbial genomes, other proteins essential to bacterial viability can be targeted to create new classes of antibiotics. Eventually, broad-spectrum, rather than protein-specific, anti-microbial drugs may be developed (2).
Future of Warfare
“The revolution in molecular biology and biotechnology can be considered as a potential Revolution of Military Affairs (RMA),” states Colonel Michael Ainscough, MD, MPH (2). According to Andrew Krepinevich, who originally coined the term RMA, “technological advancement, incorporation of this new technology into military systems, military operational advancement, and organizational adaptation in a way that fundamentally alters the character and conduct of conflict” are the four components that make up an RMA. For instance, the Gulf War has been classified as the beginning of the space information warfare RMA. “From the technological advances in biotechnology, biowarfare with genetically engineered pathogens may constitute a future such RMA,” says Ainscough (2).
In addition, the exponential increase in computational power combined with the accessibility of genetic information and biological tools to the general public and lack of governmental regulation raise concerns about the threat of biowarfare arising from outside the military (7). The US government has cited the efforts of terrorist networks, such as al Qaida, to recruit scientists capable of creating bioweapons as a national security concern and “has urged countries to be more open about their efforts to clamp down on the threat of bioweapons” (5).
Despite these efforts, biological research that can potentially lead to bioweapon development is “far more international, far more spread out, and far more diverse than nuclear science […] researchers communicate much more rapidly with one another by means that no government can control […] this was not true in the nuclear era,” according to David Kay, former chief U.S. weapons inspector in Iraq (7). Kay is “extraordinarily pessimistic that we [the United States] will take any of the necessary steps to avoid the threat of bioweapons absent their first actual use” (7).
“There are those who say: ‘the First World War was chemical; the Second World War was nuclear; and that the Third World War – God forbid – will be biological’” (2).

FACING NUCLEAR REALITY IN THE TRUMP ERA OF LIES, LIES, LIES, LIES, AND MORE LIES

A Bulletin special report by Dawn Stover:The television movie The Day After depicted a full-scale nuclear war and its impacts on people living in and around Kansas City. It became something of a community project in picturesque Lawrence, 40 miles west of Kansas City, where much of the movie was filmed. Thousands of local residents—including students and faculty from the University of Kansas—were recruited as extras for the movie; about 65 of the 80 speaking parts were cast locally. The use of locals was intentional, because the moviemakers wanted to show the grim consequences of a nuclear war for real middle Americans, living in the real middle of the country. By the time the movie ends, almost all of the main characters are dead or dying.

Moments in U.S. Diplomatic History The Jonestown Massacre

Jonestown, Guyana, was the scene of one of the most harrowing tragedies in American history. On November 18, 1978, at the direction of charismatic cult leader Jim Jones, 909 members of the People’s Temple died, all but two from apparent cyanide poisoning, in a “revolutionary suicide.” They included over 200 murdered children. The poisonings in Jonestown followed the murder of five others, including Congressman Leo Ryan, by Temple members at the nearby Port Kaituma airstrip. It was the largest mass suicide in modern history and resulted in the largest single loss of American civilian life in a non-natural disaster until September 11, 2001. Richard Dwyer was deputy chief of mission at the U.S. embassy in Guyana when the tragedy took place. In his oral history, he recounts the prelude to the massacre, how he pretended to be dead when shot at the airstrip, and how he dealt with the subsequent harrowing events. He was interviewed by ADST’s Charles Stuart Kennedy starting in July 1990.

SPACE WEATHER PHENOMENA

''Space Weather'' ''describes the variations in the space environment between the sun and Earth. In particular Space Weather describes the phenomena that impact systems and technologies in orbit and on Earth. Space weather can occur anywhere from the surface of the sun to the surface of Earth. As a space weather storm leaves the sun, it passes through the corona and into the solar wind. When it reaches Earth, it energizes Earth’s magnetosphere and accelerates electrons and protons down to Earth’s magnetic field lines where they collide with the atmosphere and ionosphere, particularly at high latitudes. Each component of space weather impacts a different technology. A description of some of the space weather impacts can be found at Space Weather Impacts.''

September 11, 2018:Geomagnetic Storm the size of 216666.666667 Earths Is Raging On The Sun

GEOMAGNETIC STORM PREDICTED FOR 11th September:

NOAA forecasters say there is an 80% chance of minor G1-class geomagnetic storms on Sept. 11th when a stream of solar wind is expected to hit Earth's magnetic field. The gaseous material is flowing from a canyon-shaped hole in the sun's atmosphere, shown here in an extreme UV image taken by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory three days ago:There's a chance that the storm could intensify to category G2 (moderately strong). During G2-class storms, auroras can appear in the United States from New York to Wisconsin to Washington state. Free: Aurora Alerts. The possibility of a G2 storm hinges on a CIR (co-rotating interaction region) at the leading edge of the incoming solar wind stream. CIRs are transition zones in the solar wind where slow-moving gas suddenly speeds up. They have shock-like characteristics and often do a good job sparking geomagnetic activity when they hit Earth's magnetic field. NOAA analysts believe that a CIR is leading this solar wind stream, and so they have issued a G2 storm watch.

Space.com: Mysterious Light Flashes Are Coming from Deep Space, and AI Just Found More Of Them

On Aug. 26, 2017, astronomers with the Breakthrough Listen project — a $100 million effort to hunt for signs of intelligent alien life — spotted 21 repeating light pulses called fast radio bursts (FRBs) emanating from the dwarf galaxy FRB 121102 within the span of 1 hour. Some scientists think FRBs come from fast-rotating neutron stars, but their source has not been nailed down.

"In the year since, John has surpassed expectations for his survival. But the progress of disease and the inexorable advance of age render their verdict. With his usual strength of will, he has now chosen to discontinue medical treatment," McCain's family said in a statement released by his office.

9 Strange, Scientific Excuses for Why Humans Haven't Found Aliens Yet By Brandon Specktor

One night about 60 years ago, physicist Enrico Fermi looked up into the sky and asked, "Where is everybody?" He was talking about aliens.Today, scientists know that there are millions, perhaps billions of planets in the universe that could sustain life. So, in the long history of everything, why hasn't any of this life made it far enough into space to shake hands (or claws … or tentacles) with humans? It could be that the universe is just too big to traverse. It could be that the aliens are deliberately ignoring us. It could even be that every growing civilization is irrevocably doomed to destroy itself (something to look forward to, fellow Earthlings). Or, it could be something much, much weirder. Like what, you ask? Here are nine strange answers that scientists have proposed for Fermi's paradox.

Radioactive Traces from the Fukushima Nuclear Disaster Found in California Wine

Following the 2011 Fukushima nuclear power plant accident, radioactive waste leaked into surrounding areas and contaminated waters and food. Seven years later, traces of the disaster were found half a world away — in California's wine. A group of French nuclear physicists tested 18 bottles of California's rosé and cabernet sauvignon produced in 2009 and onward and found that the wines produced after the disaster had increased levels of a man-made radioactive particle. Cabernet sauvignon, for example, had double the amount. [Tracking Japan's Tsunami Debris (Infographic)]

A Bacterium Reaches Out and Grabs Some New DNA Posted on July 19th, 2018 by Dr. Francis Collins

Here, for the first time ever, scientists have captured in real-time—and in very cool detail—the important mechanism of horizontal gene transfer in bacteria. Specifically, you see Vibrio cholerae, the water-dwelling bacterium that causes cholera, stretching out a hair-like appendage called a pilus (green) to snag a free snippet of DNA (red). After grabbing the DNA, V. cholerae swiftly retracts the pilus, threading the DNA fragment through a pore on the cell surface for stitching into its genome.

Guccifer: Ace In The Hole: Rod Rosenstein press conference really was about Trump-Russia

Here’s the key to understanding the whole thing. Attorney General Jeff Sessions is a glory hog who would never have passed up the opportunity to announce something this big. Sessions is also a racist who would never have passed up the chance to take credit for legal action against nonwhite people. There is simply no way on earth that Sessions would have passed this press conference off to his Deputy Rod Rosenstein unless he wasn’t given a choice. And there’s only one logical reason why Rosenstein would – or even could – have taken it away from him.In other words, today’s event had to have been related to the Trump-Russia scandal. Precisely how?

Lore of Ancient Science Mysteries

Kemetic or ancient Egyptian symbols that have been taken all over the world. But most people don't know that they're African, and they don't know what they mean. For example, the Washington monument is a structure 555 feet tall. The tallest structure in Washington, DC. And it's a structure that actually represents the resurrection of an ancient African king by the name of Asar. That symbol is the oldest symbol of resurrection known to mankind. It represents the resurrection of an African man. So why don't people know that information? It certainly is available to anyone who's willing to do the research. But we have to ask the question of what else don't we know?
The Anunnaki and Planet X (Planet Nibiru)
It is speculated that the recent unusual climatic and geological upheavals on Earth (and mirrored on other planets in this solar system) are directly related to the return and perihelion of a mysterious outer planet which has an elliptical orbit of approximately 3640 years per rotation known to the Anunnaki as planet Nibiru.

Some of these mysteries are examined in the following video.
All comments in the video below are science fiction and should not be taken as scientific fact.

No proof exists to confirm any of these hypotheses. The famous so-called 'Martian face' looking skyward (at the end of this video) has now,sadly for ancient space astronaut theorists, been conclusively proven to be an optical illusion. No alien artefact, not a single one, of an advanced extra-terrestrial nature has ever, sadly, been found on this planet. Other than accepting the word of conspiracy theorists who say that such 'evidence' has been hidden by all governments from the world public, no craft, alien artefact, nor anything of any futuristic shape nor kind (that we don't know about already in shape and kind) have ever been discovered by anyone anywhere on this planet.

Hitler's Jewish Family

Warning: The site below contains material which many historians and researchers will know is highly inaccurate and racially offensive. It puzzles me as to why this particular website, which has genuine historically accurate material, such as the reference quoted below, should discredit itself with racist anti-Semitic propaganda(?) In any event the reference below is largely accurate. What is speculative is as to who was Alois' paternal (genetic) father. So there is no conclusive proof that he was Jewish - but circumstantial evidence - the fact that Alois' mother worked in the homes of wealthy Jewish individuals before they dismissed her from service on becoming pregnant - coupled with the fact that (as I can personally attest) such 'hush hush' maintenance money was paid up until the age of 14 years by a wealthy individual(s) anxious to avoid scandal and, more important, prevent an official claim by an illegitimate child or children to lineage successor-in-title, was still common practice right up until the early 1970s.

Was Dominique Strauss-Kahn Set Up?

I met on Sunday with an individual who gave me information not yet in the public domain about the unnamed chambermaid making allegations against the International Monetary Fund (IMF) Director, Mr Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the intended main challenger to President Sarkozy as the next President of France. The person I met said, basically, that the woman involved in the allegation has a history of sexual dysfunctionality which makes here prone to making allegations after suggestive encounters towards men-not for attention seeking reasons but because of her own profile and background with relationships going back to her childhood. ‘’Because she is an immigrant her own background as a child may be hard to uncover and she is also in the unique position of having complete anonymity under US law-until she decides voluntarily to ‘cash in’ on this affair.’’ As the alleged victim,should anyone attempt to reveal her identity they too become liable to criminal prosecution. At this point, whether guilty or not, Strauss-Kahn is ruined politically and socially. ‘’The only people with the capability of unearthing the facts are the USCIS the FBI and the CIA and most likely all three agencies will be required to take a back seat as it’s a US Police local state (not Federal) matter and only the Justice Department will be involved.’’ As a Euro sceptic I have always been against most things which are EU-orientated. Indeed for many years I have supported an anti-European Union group as I share it’s sentiments-so I am the last person in the world to want to say any good words about the EU or it’s officials. Why would anyone want to ‘set-up’ Strauss-Kahn and who benefits from his absence from key talks about the Euro and it’s future hanging as they are in the balance? What would be the global implications of the collapse of the Euro as a single currency and how would it affect the dollar? Strauss-Kahn is undoubtedly a brilliant economist and visionary in his own field. He is singularly credited with saving the Euro from collapse by his ability to persuade Germany to buy into a rescue package with the prospect that it will emerge as the economic super-giant of the European continent when the European economies recover-which they eventually will. How would this emergence affect Europe’s relationship with the United States and the rest of the world? Let’s stick with the facts as known at present and remove the hype. Is it credible to believe that Mr Strauss-Kahn would, without being solicited, actively commit a sexual assault of the kind he is being accused of? The answer is currently unknown but as in the Julian Assange (WikiLeaks) case, there are troubling doubts-not about his guilt but about the scenarios of alleged guilt given the critical timings. ''Even if he is eventually proved to be guilty of attempted rape that does not preclude the possibility of him having being set up to commit a crime. Entrapment of high-profile individuals by rival companies and corporations is not unknown in the world in which we live.'' It is known that there have been prior issues affecting Mr Strauss-Kahn in his work environment and this alone is likely to heighten suspicions about his guilt-even before a fair trial. Already today an individual in France is alleging attempted assault and other individuals may see this as the time to also bring forward past affairs or grievances. ''These issues however were matters, as I gather, which could affect many co-workers working or travelling together for prolong periods of time and under great stress and should not have a bearing on any current accusation-but in this case they undoubtedly will-making it impossible for Mr Strauss-Kahn to be given a fair trial in the United States in the glare of media publicity which will now devour every aspect of the man’s private and public life.'' Back to the crises in Europe. Mr Strauss-Kahn is being replaced in these complex negotiations between economically ailing Euro zone countries and the IMF by someone who has only months of experience as a Deputy Director and lacks the charisma and ‘fixing’ abilities across so complex an economic structure which Strauss-Kahn is reputed to possess. Why is such an international high profile individual who cannot flee nor hide anywhere in the world being held in custody and not released on bail to continue his work-which is critical to the future of Europe? Even if he is released on bail or bond assurance, such is the damage done to his reputation that he may find it impossible to function in his current role at this critical juncture in EU-IMF relations such will be the detraction of this issue. This will have immediate effects on the course and direction of the negotiations-especially if European leaders lose faith in his credibility-which is highly likely. Of course everyone can be replaced-but in time. So the timing is critical in this instance. The Justice Department of The United States is fully aware of his role in IMF discussions aimed at saving the Euro and ensuring that Portugal, Greece, Spain and Ireland do not default so why are they not prepared to release him on bail in order that this work, vital to the unity of the European continent as an economic block can continue? They would quite rightly answer because he is being arrainged on a serious criminal matter and the issue of bail and bond is a matter for a judge at a hearing and is not the Justice Department's decision. In so high profile a case, The New York State Criminal Justice Department, the U.S. Justice Department and even The State Department could conceivably intervene with their own conflicting recommendations. The alternative interpretation of this event could be very troubling and not at all related to the alleged crime. Which currency, I was asked, most benefits with the collapse of the Euro as a single currency? ''The dollar has never been in a more precarious condition than it is today-under pressure from the Yuan. The emerging Russian Rouble is poised to affect the Eurozone in a way Strauss-Kahn has been working to positively and co-operatively pre-empt.'' Russia managed to prevent a global meltdown of its financial and industrial institutions several years ago when, what it perceived as an external conspiracy to place control of it's key strategic resources into the hands of hostile foreign corporations and place the country into a future situation of indebtedness was foiled. President Putin, a former intelligence officer, could never prove a conspiracy to bankrupt and seriously indebt the country so Russian authorities responded by promptly arresting and serving warrants for the arrest of all the oligarchs they could get within it’s own territory who were believed to be part of this unproven conspiracy and charged them on spurious economic crimes grounds-justified or not. Today, the Rouble is, like the Yuan, emerging as one of the future challengers to the Dollar-and the Euro-worldwide. Strauss-Kahn was involved in other delicate discussions-to bring the European Union and Russia into a closer economic union-and to persuade The German Chancellor Merkel to accept Turkey as a de facto associate member of the European Union with the issues of Cyprus and immigration being left for longer term settlement-should the Turks agree not to press for full membership. From what I gather, a complex man involved in intricate and complex issues profoundly affecting all our lives-now incarcerated in a U.S. jail and being paraded by U.S. Detectives from court hearing to court hearing as an indicted common criminal. The gut instinct of Chancellor Merkel and other European politicians will be to drop him like a stone as the political fall-out from having such an albatross could be even more damaging. No doubt many former colleagues will now try to distance themselves as far as possible from Mr Strauss-Kahn fearing the outcome on their own political careers. Strauss-Kahn’s impact as the most likely future President of France would have been even more profound. Even the incumbent President, Sarkozy, would admit he (Sarkozy) is not a brilliant economist. Having a man like Strauss Kahn running France and with German money and drive behind him, this powerful combination could have conceivably lifted Europe out of the economic recession faster than it will now take with the absence of so powerful an alliance of brilliance, brains, connections, fixing ability money and brawn - as all in unison would have effectively implemented an EU-structured Marshall Plan to save the economic union. Should any of the above prove true, (and I have been offered nor am offering any proof), then key personnel involved in critical aspects of EU policies may well be advised to take extra special precautions to avoid entrapment when on business or holiday trips abroad. If such proves to be the case, it would be reminiscent of the Cold War days when civil servants and other commercial and local government officials were expressly forbidden to travel behind the Iron Curtain without governmental permission It may well also be advisable to have a new set of rules governing the arrest of suspects so as to ensure that all are guaranteed protection from publicity under the law until conviction takes place as often the unproven allegations alone can destroy a life and a career. . The stakes are very high-a fact not appreciated by the general public since it's difficult to have access to a complete picture of exactly what is happening and how one issue affects another in a world where information overload creates as much confusion as it's paucity. Either this story represents the personal tragedy and the untimely end of a brilliant career of an individual who has succumbed to human failings at a most historically unfortunate time for Europe or a new, very vicious and very ugly chapter is emerging in the global fight for currency domination. I would hope that the former is the case so that one day Mr Strauss-Kahn and his victim will both be able to re-build their shattered lives and that the victim of this crime will see the justice she deserves. In conclusion, in the world we live, human failings and high public office do not go hand in hand. Is it any wonder that the most gifted and able individuals in this world avoid politics, high profile and public office like the plague. I left my contact with many questions unanswered and unresolved and with a heavy heart. Patrick Emek Europe Monday 16th May 2011 10.30am

Radioactive Traces from the Fukushima Nuclear Disaster Found in California Wine

ollowing the 2011 Fukushima nuclear power plant accident, radioactive waste leaked into surrounding areas and contaminated waters and food. Seven years later, traces of the disaster were found half a world away — in California's wine. A group of French nuclear physicists tested 18 bottles of California's rosé and cabernet sauvignon produced in 2009 and onward and found that the wines produced after the disaster had increased levels of a man-made radioactive particle. Cabernet sauvignon, for example, had double the amount. [Tracking Japan's Tsunami Debris (Infographic)]
