Three killed in 5.9-magnitude quake in north Italy


An earthquake measuring 5.9 on the Richter scale has jolted northern Italy, leaving at least three people dead and two others injured, the US Geological Survey (USGS) says.

People rushed into the streets in panic when the strong earthquake rocked a large swathe of northern Italy early on Sunday morning, damaging rural factories and leading to the collapse of ancient bell towers in towns.

The epicenter of the quake, which struck at 4:04 a.m. (0204 GMT), was in the plains near Modena. But it was felt in nearby regions.

It lasted around 20 seconds and was followed by several aftershocks.

Rescue services said the three people died in the Modena and Ferrara areas.

The quake was felt in the major towns of Bologna, Modena, Ferrara, Rovigo, Verona and Mantua.

Earlier, a 4.1-magnitude quake was felt in the Lombardy region around Milan, Italy’s financial and business capital.

The last major earthquake to hit Italy was a 6.3-magnitude quake in the central Italian city of L’Aquila in 2009, which killed nearly 300 people.

Worldwide protest movements: are they helping or hurting?

By Curt Williams / Contributing writer for End the Lie and host of Room 101

Are the worldwide protests helping or hurting? That is the question.

As Alexander Haig once stated “they can protest all they want so long as they pay their taxes”. This statement is pretty telling in my opinion.

Now accompany that statement with the question, has protesting and hitting the streets really brought any change in policy, banking, wars etc.? Unfortunately, the answer clearly is no.

Let us take a look at some examples:

The Civil Rights Movement

The civil rights movement was a political movement for equality. Between 1950 and 1980 the movement took the form of campaigns of civil resistance.

The aim was to achieve change by means of nonviolent forms of resistance. But the campaign of “nonviolent forms of resistance” was accompanied, or followed, by civil unrest. In some cases armed rebellion.

When one thinks “civil rights movement” a few things probably comes to mind right away. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, sit-ins, and the hosing of black demonstrators, just to name a few.

I have a lot of respect for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks and the numerous students that stood tall against oppression.

Microsoft to Charge Customers $99 to Remove OEM ‘Crapware’

This issue is definitely becoming more ridiculous as the profit margins disappear in the commodity PC meat grinder. I spend about fifteen minutes removing crapware from each new Windows based machine (Dell and Lenovo) that I prepare for use by a small company here.

The good news is that uninstalling the stuff is simple using the control panel in Windows, but the fact that people have to do it at all is absurd.

Now, why not hang a $99 price tag out there to remove garbage that shouldn’t be on the machines in the first place?

Innovation!

Maybe Microsoft is trying to grow Apple’s market share.

Via: ZDnet:

Will people be willing to pay Microsoft to remove the crapware that the OEMs install on new PCs? Microsoft thinks they will.

For around two and a half years, Microsoft has been offering what it calls Signature editions of certain PCs. According to Microsoft, these PCs give you faster and easier access to “the applications you want right away without getting sidetracked talking to trialware or other sample software”.

In other words, when you boot up your new PC, instead of having to deal with a blizzard of pop-ups and dialog boxes related to trialware and demo software — collectively known as crapware — the system boots to a clean Windows desktop.

Bayer CropScience and Bee Deaths

By Anon | RedIceCreations.com

The Big Picture

For several years now there has been a dramatic loss of bees in Europe and North America. As many as 50% to 90% of the bee populations have simply vanished. This is a big deal.

Bees are a keystone species – they are vital to the food chain on our planet. An international study of 115 food crops grown in over 200 countries showed that 75% of crops are pollinated by animals, especially by bees.

At first it was believed that only honeybees were affected, but then bumblebee populations began to decline. The crisis was eventually given a name: Colony Collapse Disorder or CCD.

CCD is Not a Disease

There were initially several theories about the cause of CCDE, including Varroa mites, cell phone radiation and a virus similar to AIDS. However, it has now been proven that the bee deaths are actually the result of poisoning from two known pesticides called clothianidin and imidacloprid –manufactured by Bayer.

Imidacloprid, “Gaucho”

The trade name for clothianidin is Poncho. The trade names for imidacloprid include Gaucho, Admire, Advantage, Merit, Amigo, Premise, Prothor, and Winner.

Why are They Used?

One of our most important crops is corn. But corn has an enemy called diabrotica vergifera vergifera – also known as the “root worm.” [right] It burrows into the roots of the corn plant and causes the plant to wither and eventually die.
Major infestations can wipe-out entire crops.

As bad as it sounds, the root worm problem can actually be addressed quite easily with the practice of crop rotation. The larvae must feed on corn roots to survive and cannot travel more than 10 to 20 inches if hatched in a field rotated out of corn. However, rotating a field out of corn can result in lower farm profitability if there is less demand for the alternate crop. So in 2003, Bayer Pharmaceutical introduced two pesticides, classified as neonicotinoids, to combat root worms and capitalize on increased farm profits. These pesticides are now two of Bayer’s top agricultural products – even though profits are at the expense of a keystone species.

Former CIA Agent: Bin Laden Died of Disease in 2006

Osama Bin Laden, the al-Qaeda chief, died a natural death nearly 5 years before it was announced that he was eliminated by the American commandos in Pakistan, unveiled a former CIA agent.

Speaking in an interview with Russia’s Channel One, Berkan Yashar, a Turkish politician and former US intelligence agent claimed that the Americans did not kill al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden and, in fact, he died naturally.

The journalists of Channel One first met Yashar in 2008. At the time he was featured in the documentary “Plan Caucasus,” talking about the attempts of the western intelligence services in the early 1990′s to separate the Northern Caucasus and, in particular, Chechnya from Russia.

Chechen by nationality, Yashar is now a Turkish politician, but in those years he was one of the ideologists of Johar Dudayev. He asked for a meeting, promising to tell the truth about the death of Osama bin Laden whom he met in the early 90-ies in Chechnya.

“In September of 1992 I was in Chechnya, that’s when I first met the man whose name was Bin Laden. This meeting took place in a two-story house in the city of Grozny; on the top floor was a family of Gamsakhurdia, the Georgian president, who then was kicked out of his country. We met on the bottom floor; Osama lived in the same building, “said Berkan Yashar.

Why Britain’s pledge to end Afghanistan’s deadly heroin trade has failed

By Sean Rayment

Nato leaders meet in Chicago on Sunday to discuss the schedule for pulling out of Afghanistan, amid fears that local forces are still no match for the Taliban. Yet the war on the country’s drug barons is also far from won, reports Sean Rayment
Why Britain's pledge to end Afghanistan's deadly heroin trade has failed

Back in 2001, three weeks after the 9/11 attacks, the then prime minister Tony Blair sold the case for war in Afghanistan by insisting that the invasion would destroy the country’s illicit drug trade. In an impassioned speech to the Labour Party Conference, he told his supporters: “The arms the Taliban are buying today are paid for by the lives of young British people buying their drugs on British streets. This is another part of the regime we should destroy.”

The prime minister was, in part, referring to the tragic death of Rachel Whitear, an everyday girl from a respectable, loving family who got caught up in the seedy world of drugs. In May 2000, Rachel died of an overdose of what, in all likelihood, was Afghan heroin. A graphic photograph of her discoloured body found on the floor of a dirty bedsit led to a nationwide anti-drugs campaign.

But after almost 11 years of failed policies, and the deaths of 414 British soldiers and 1,972 American ones, little has changed. Instead of destroying Afghanistan’s drug trade, the country is today responsible for 82 per cent of the global production of opium, and more than 90 per cent of heroin found on British streets is made from Afghan opium. Every year the Taliban makes around £100 million from the illicit trade by taxing farmers, supplying opium seeds and ensuring safe passage of the drugs across the country’s borders.

Iran finance minister: ‘Rest assured’ record oil prices over nuclear sanctions

By Chelsea J. Carter, CNN
Yukiya Amano, the director-general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, will fly to Iran Sunday.

Yukiya Amano, the director-general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, will fly to Iran Sunday.

Iran’s finance minister believes oil prices could rise as high as $160 a barrel thanks to sanctions over its nuclear program, a prediction that comes just as the chief of the United Nations nuclear watchdog agency headed to Tehran on Sunday for high-level talks.

“We must pay close attention when we speak of oil revenues and sanctions against oil sales, who are the winners and the losers of such sanctions?” Shamseddin Hosseini told CNN’s “Fareed Zakaria GPS” in an interview that airs Sunday.

“Indeed, it is difficult. But not just for Iran. And we can all rest assured that there will be a considerable increase in international oil market prices. Now, is this the best approach?”

The comments came as the International Atomic Energy Agency said in a carefully worded statement that its director-general, Yukiya Amano, was headed to Iran for talks on what it described only as “issues of mutual interest with high Iranian officials.”

Dazed Lemmings Can’t Bridge The Reality Gap


by Zen Gardner

Ever wonder why people can’t make the leap to real awareness of what’s going on?

Why do so few people seem to care about the dangers of the unreported radiation levels and toxic debris washing across the Pacific? How is it no one but local residents raise the alarm about the horrific effects of the Gulf oil spill and the poisonous seafood landing on American dinner tables?

As the Orwellian American police state sweeps into place, the economy crumbles, and their faultless leader languishes on his latest vacation or exalted meeting, Americans are preparing to celebrate their entry into a brave new police state with minimal awareness of the true dangers already dissolving their health, wealth and chances for survival in an engineered conflagration of mythic proportions that is already descending on their heads.

Sensory Overload and the Ostrich Effect

As the gap between reality and manipulated public perception grows, it may just be too big a leap for many at this point. Having been dumbed down and unresponsive for so long, it’s too much for them to take in.

Sad, but again, that’s the projected reality that many unconsciously adopt.

Hey, why wake up when everything’s such a bummer? That’s the underlying mentality. The thing is, this is a conditioned response. Overload and recoil. And it’s been going on a long, long time.

Why? Like the dumbing down effect of not just the manipulated media but fluoride and chemtrails and adulterated food, it eventually suppresses natural responses. When the real alert presents itself, the subject will not be able to react and protect himself.

The Serpentine Stealth Of The Long Range Planners

by Zen Gardner

This overwhelming yet cleverly obscured phenomenon of extremely patient, devious long range planning by the changing guard of the “powers that be” is of paramount importance.

The ‘patience of the planners’ aspect eventually becomes evident to any sincere researcher, and literally haunts and even taunts with its seductive perfidy. Even putting your finger on this slippery subject is a chore, since we don’t think like they do and have a hard time even conceiving of such inter-generational, pathological conniving, the complete fulfillment of which most would knowingly not see in their lifetimes.

It’s beyond us.

And that’s the key. They’re not normal. Something very powerful and sinister is driving them.

Fully developed conscious humans wouldn’t plot and scheme for generations to take over the world at any cost to its inhabitants. Most humans inherently trust and positively contribute in conscious, natural ways, endeavoring to pass on to their progeny loving wisdom and a better world. We natural born world citizens believe in the decency of humanity and that natural and spiritual laws are clearly delineated via the simplest observations of the world around us and the revelations of our awakened conscience.

Love and truth are not all that complicated. Naturally.

However, seriously perverted and otherwise motivated elements feel they need to control and steer and harvest the energies of everyone else. Natural law and order are anathema to them. They’ve decided for some insane, occult reason, that humanity is diseased with its own ‘naturalness’ and needs to be corralled, cleansed, modified and even “maintained” at certain population levels. Their self-styled, cold so-called intellectual prowess dictates a world with the “illuminated” man taking the earth-bound masses into a utopia designed by these self-appointed elites, for these same elites, and with them in absolute power over a populace enthralled with its very enslavement.

And they’re pretty damn close in many respects, sad to say.

But what really opens people’s eyes is realizing this is something that is spiritually driven, and when you connect enough dots you see there is a core intelligence behind these tentacles of control being exerted on humanity.

And it’s ugly.

Cancer-killing dandelion tea gets $157K research grant

Researchers in Windsor, Ont., have received an additional $157,000 grant for a total of $217,000 to study how effective dandelion root extract is in fighting cancer.

Siyaram Pandey, a biochemist at the University of Windsor, has been studying the anti-cancer potential of dandelion root extract for almost two years.

His team’s first phase of research showed that dandelion root extract forced a very aggressive and drug-resistant type of blood cancer cell, known as chronic monocytic myeloid leukemia, to essentially commit suicide.

Researchers then discovered that repeated treatment with low dose dandelion root extract was effective in killing most of the cancerous cells.

Those initial findings landed the research team a $60,000 grant from Seeds4Hope, which provides money for local cancer research.

Pandey then applied for continued funding from the Lotte and John Hecht Memorial Foundation. That $157,000 came through earlier this week bringing the total to $217,000.
Researcher was skeptical at first

Pandey admits he was skeptical when he was first approached by local oncologist, Dr. Caroline Hamm, who was curious about cancer patients who had been drinking dandelion tea and seemed to be getting better.

“To be honest I was very pessimistic,” Pandey said in a statement. “She said it could be coincidental but it couldn’t hurt to see if there is anything.”

Hamm was convinced that the weed contains an active ingredient, but warned earlier this year that “it can harm as well as benefit.”

Solar Eclipse 2012: California Likely to Offer Impressive Views

Solar Eclipse 2012: California Likely to Offer Impressive Views

The partial solar eclipse will occur late in the day in Southern California on Sunday, beginning at 5:24 p.m., reaching its maximum coverage at 6:38 p.m., and exiting the sun’s path at 7:42 p.m., just 10 minutes before sunset. “That means the sun is fairly low in the northwest, and you want a clear view of the northwest horizon,” said Griffith Observatory director Ed Krupp.

He suggested a place with a clear view of the northwest, with an elevated view and a clear horizon, to see the moon obscure the sun’s beams. Griffith Observatory, which is run by the city of Los Angeles, will have extra telescopes and staff on hand to help people view the eclipse for free.

“They’ll be seeing something that is really unusual — a big bite coming out of the sun. And that’s the real charm of this event,” Krupp said.

The best view of the ring eclipse  is expected to be on the northern edge of California, near Eureka, Redding and the northern suburbs of Sacramento and Lake Tahoe.

The Matrix is Unwinding

By Chris Bourne, Contributing Writer / Waking Times

These are very exciting times. A whole host of events and circumstances are converging across the world causing the old fear based reality to fracture and fragment. It’s big business that has had such a strangle hold on Humanity’s freedom of expression and evolution: well I believe these two short video clips I’d like to share below, demonstrate quite powerfully how that grip is now beginning to weaken…

Fluoride Poisoned Water

Do you still drink tap water? A ways back down the path, my soul strongly guided me to stop drinking it because of the fluoride that’s pumped into it by governments and water companies. If you still have a fluoride based toothpaste, next time you brush your teeth, check out the label. It’s highly likely it will carry a poison warning tucked away in the small print like this one…

“WARNING: Keep out of reach of children under 6 years of age. If you accidentally swallow more than used for brushing, seek professional help or contact a poison control center immediately.”

A poison label on toothpaste? Whatever next! I talked about this on Openhandweb back in 2008…how tap water lowers your vibration. Flouride not only destroys the teeth, but damages the lining of the stomach and intestines. It lowers vibration because it generates increased internal activity. It’s well known that its added to prison water to dope inmates down. It’s clear that the powers-that-be don’t want vibrant questioning minds!

So I was pleasantly surprised yesterday to see this mainstream video talking about the damage of fluoride in water and legal action taking place in the USA to stop it happening…

The Pillars of the Temple are toppling

Also a couple of years back, I wrote about the toppling Greek economy and how this was so important to break the European noose of big business…Monumental changes for Monumental times. How on earth does it make sense for Bureaucrats in Brussels to tell a farmer in Greece what price to charge for his olives? Then to over-inflate his economy and burden him with debt so that his olives now cost three times what they should and he needs to sell double the amount? That might be fine for bankers and the fat cats in big business, but definitely not for the farmers and the people.

DEA Recording Americans’ Movements on Highways, Creating Central Repository of Plate Data

The DEA wants to capture the license plates of all vehicles traveling along Interstate 15 in Utah, and store that data for two years at their facility in Northern Virginia. And, as a DEA official told Utah legislators at a hearing this week (attended by ACLU of Utah staff and covered in local media), these scanners are already in place on “drug trafficking corridors” in California and Texas and are being considered for Arizona as well. The agency is also collecting plate data from unspecified other sources and sharing it with over ten thousand law enforcement agencies around the nation.

We know that automated license plate scanning (ALPR) technology is rapidly being deployed by local police around the country. However, its use by a federal agency raises new issues and questions. To begin with, the federal government is in more of a position to create a centralized repository of drivers’ movements, so federal deployment of the technology is even more serious a matter than widespread local deployment.

In addition, a federal agency is required by law (the Privacy Act of 1974) to disclose to the American people how it is collecting, using, and sharing data about them. However, we were not able to find a Privacy Act notice anywhere in the Federal Register in which the DEA describes any collection of license plate data. (The two recent DEA Privacy Act notices we found do not mention the practice.)

The DEA official claimed to the Utah legislators that “we’re not trying to capture any personal information—all that this captures is the tag, regardless of who the driver is.” The idea that a license plate number is not personally identifiable information is laughable. It is true that different people can drive one vehicle, but they are usually closely related to the registered owner and their identities are rarely difficult to ascertain after the fact.

When You Have the Right Vibe, It’s Not a Coincidence: Synchronicities, Energy Healing, and Other Strangeness in the Field

When You Have the Right Vibe, It's Not a Coincidence: Synchronicities, Energy Healing, and Other Strangeness in the Fieldby Amy L. Lansky PhD

The following is excerpted from Active Consciousness: Awakening the Power Within [1], recently released from R.L.Ranch Press.

One piece of evidence for the holographic nature of nonstandard fields that have been proposed in recent years — the zero-point field (a candidate for the unified field [2]), the psi field of psychic phenomena, Ervin Laszlo’sAkashic field [3], and the morphic field proposed by Rupert Sheldrake [4] — is that they all share a common feature: sensitivity to similarity in vibration.

If a holographic image has many different holograms embedded within it, shining a laser of a specific frequency upon it will cause only those holograms made with lasers of the same frequency to stand out.  That’s because things with the same vibration naturally resonate and reinforce one another — just as two violin strings at the same pitch resonate with one another. This property of resonance has [also] been used to explain how each of us might interact with mysterious fields like the psi or Akashic fields… People pick up only that with which they personally “resonate.” Each individual’s resonant frequency, determined by their life experience, physical body, and energy body, limits what they can perceive.

Biologist Rupert Sheldrake’s theory of morphic resonance also depends upon similarity in vibration. Members of the same species, being “on the same wavelength,” are able to tap into information that pertains uniquely to them. And while members of an entire species might be able to tune into a fairly broad spectrum of frequencies (think of Carl Jung’s notion of thecollective unconscious that humans supposedly tap into [5]), smaller, more tightly connected groups — such as members of the same family or loving couples — resonate in more focused zones of vibration; they have access to their own “private frequency.” In fact, Sheldrake goes even further and suggests that morphic fields can explain how human memory operates. Instead of being stored in our brains, he suggests that memories are stored in the morphic field. Our brains then pick them up via resonance, like radios tuning to their own private stations.

HFT Manipulation? EURO Soars As Bank Run Spreads From Spain To The UK

As the run on the banks spread in Europe, with 30% of customers pulling cash out of UK branches of Spain’s Santander bank, the Euro spikes on absolutely no news.

While we saw Wall Street banks admitting they  jumped in to prop up Facebook’s opening day IPO crash today, there is no such admission or explanation when it comes to the Euro’s massive spike.

That spike of course which defies not only technical and fundamental data but conventional wisdom as well as Greece continues down the path of exiting the Euro while the mass withdrawal of consumer deposits has spread from Greece, into Spain and today into the UK.

This of course raises the specter that some high frequency trading algorithm was unleashed to manipulate the price.

With 18,250 cases of HFT market manipulation documented over the last 5 years, including the now infamous silver manipulation scandal  and the 54 second grand rehearsal for a market crash the possibility of such manipulation is not far-fetched.

In any case there is explanation for the move in Euro as of right now so we will just have to see how this plays out.

Zero Hedge reports:

Nothing could be more appropriate than topping a week of surreal newsflow than what just happened with the EURUSD, which soared by 80 pips on absolutely non news, in what can be attributed to either some algo going apeshit and lifting every offer, a fat finger, or just the tried and true Bank of International Settlement stop hunt seeking to send correlated risk assets higher courtesy of a spark in upward momentum. Sadly today not even this glaring attempt to jump broad risk into the stratosphere is working. And ahead of a weekend where it is rumored Europe may reopen on Monday, we can’t wait for the inevitable snapback.

Barack Obama Is The First United Nations President

 Obama was not born in America.

“In our globalist existence, the authority for the US to initiate hostilities against another country comes from the UN, declared Obama and Panetta. If the executive branch can persuade or bribe the UN to give a war OK, Congress is no longer relevant.” – Paul Craig Roberts, “Are Americans Catching On, Waking Up, Unplugging?”

President Barack Obama has continued the secret policy of destroying the sovereignty and wealth of the United States to the benefit of the private transnational interests who control the United Nations, the CIA, Wall Street, and the global banking system. Numerous American presidents, both Republican and Democrat, are on board with this treasonous political agenda.

Obama is not an “American” president; he is a United Nations president.

The criminal international banksters and secret societies behind the creation of the United Nations, and the Barack Obama icon, use fraud, usury, debt, terror, deception, propaganda, false flags, and war to get what they want out of countries. They treat all countries like third world colonies, including America. The people are plundered and destroyed, while the criminal elite are protected.

The election of Obama represents a massive constitutional crisis in America because he was born in Kenya, and is thus illegally holding the office of the presidency. He is the presidential equivalent of an illegal alien. It is hard to believe this is true because it is pretty wild. But no intellectually honest person can ignore the evidence and defend Obama’s claim that he was born in America. It is illogical to deny the facts and stick to illusions.

As dignitaries arrive for the NATO Summit in Chicago, protesters and police are making news for an arrest controversy earlier this week in Bridgeport.

For the first time, as CBS 2’s Pam Zekman reports, one of the nine protesters scooped up by police in a controversial raid says he was mistreated and his civil rights violated.

Darrin Annussek says he walked to Chicago from Philadelphia to participate in Occupy protests, only to be seized by police in a raid on an apartment at 32nd and Morgan.

“For 18 hours, we were handcuffed to a bench and our legs were shackled together,” he said. “Some of our cries for the bathroom were either ignored or met with silence.”

Annusek was released Friday morning along with four others reportedly suspected of preparing molotov cocktails. At least one other detainee was released several hours later Friday.

Ahmadinejad ‘blocked from Olympics’

Iran’s president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad claims he has been blocked by the UK authorities from attending the Olympic Games in London.

Mr Ahmadinejad told Iran’s official news agency IRNA that he would like to be “beside Iranian athletes” at the Games, but that Britain has “a problem” with him being there.

The Foreign Office refused to confirm or deny his claim, saying only: “We don’t comment on individual cases.”

The row comes ahead of talks in Baghdad next week over Iran’s controversial nuclear programme, which Britain and other international powers suspect is intended to produce an atomic weapon. Tehran denies the charge, insisting it wants only to develop a civilian nuclear power capability.

The E3+3 nations – Britain, France, Germany, the US, Russia and China – will meet with negotiators from Iran in the Iraqi capital for a day of talks on May 23.

The meeting follows on from talks in Istanbul last month at which the E3+3 team detected signs of willingness on the Iranian side to engage constructively after a long stalemate.

Moderate 5.9 strikes coastal region of Chile: tension is rising along the Nazca tectonic plate

CHILE – A 5.9 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Antofagasta, Chile. The depth of the earthquake was 25 km (15.5 m) and was downgraded from a 6.2 magnitude quake by the USGS. The epicenter of the earthquake was 54 km (33 miles) SW of Taltal, Antofagasta, Chile and 849 km (527 miles) N of Santiago, Chile. This is the third moderate earthquake to strike along the Chilean coastline in five days. A 6.2 magnitude earthquake struck off the southern coastal region of Aisen, Chile on May 18. A 6.2 earthquake also struck near Tarapaca on May 14. Tension continues to mount on the very dangerous Nazca plate which is violently diving or undergoing subduction under the South American plate. The absolute motion of the Nazca Plate has been calibrated at 3.7 cm/yr east motion (88°), some of the fastest absolute motion of any tectonic plate. The subducting Nazca Plate, which exhibits unusual flat-slab subduction, is tearing as well as deforming as it is subducted under the land mass. No tsunami warnings were issued with today’s 5.9 earthquake and there have been no reports of damage or injuries. Today’s earthquake, however, is one more indication tension along the Nazca tectonic plate is building. This region should remain alert for the potential occurrence of a stress-break or sizable release of seismic tension that could be manifested in a major earthquake.

Chow has reportedly admitted buying the bodies, which had been roasted dry and painted in gold leaf, for 200,000 baht (£4,040).

Back in Taiwan he could have sold them for six times that amount to rich clients who believe the foetuses will bring them good fortune. ‘The bodies are between the ages of two and seven months,’ said Wiwat Kumchumnan, of the police’s children and women protection unit.

Controversy as monarch living in luxury while subjects suffer, hosts lunch for monarchs living in luxury while subjects suffer

Jubilee lunch

A lunch being held by the Queen at Windsor castle later today has attracted controversy after it was revealed that it would be hosted and attended entirely by monarchs who live in luxury while their people suffer.

The Diamond Jubilee lunch, in which guests will celebrate being born into opulence, will be attended by heads of state who display varying degrees of selfish greed.

The King of Bahrain, Swaziland’s King Mswati III, the Galactic Empire’s Emperor Palpatine, Planet Mongo’s Ming the Merciless and Prince Philip are among controversial monarchs expected to attend the lunch.

Among those not attending the lunch are Queen Sofia of Spain and her Husband, King Juan Carlos, who broke his hip while selflessly hunting elephants in Botswana.

The Queen, who has a personal fortune estimated to be in the region of £349m, is expected to address the guests while sat on the lap of a Foreign Office ventriloquist who will be drinking a glass of water.

Buckingham Palace said it will not comment on the attendees at the lunch, but reassured everyone that the menu would consist of the finest food and wines available, and would definitely be very, very expensive.

“The Queen’s role is to keep her mouth shut and take the money,” said a Buckingham Palace spokesperson.

“This is something she has done superbly over the last 60 years, and will continue to do for as long as she possibly can.”

HIDDEN IN PLAIN VIEW: FDA MURDER

HIDDEN IN PLAIN VIEW: FDA-APPROVED DRUGS KILL A MILLION AMERICANS PER DECADE!

THE FDA IS A ROGUE CRIMINAL AGENCY

by Jon Rappoport / www.nomorefakenews.com

The day of the Smoking Gun has arrived.

The discovery of a page, on the FDA’s own website, proves the FDA is fully aware that:

the drugs it certifies as safe have been killing Americans, at the rate of 100,000 per year.

The FDA website page is currently available under the heading, “Why Learn About Adverse Drug Reactions,” and it can be Googled. (Click here to go directly to the FDA page.)

The implications of this Smoking Gun are hard to grasp in any rational way.

The FDA takes no blame, no responsibility for its actions, and yet it admits the death statistics are accurate.

As an investigative reporter, I have been tracking and writing about pharmaceutically-caused deaths for 10 years. I have, on numerous occasions, cited Dr. Barbara Starfield’s report in the July 26th, 2000, Journal of the American Medical Association, in which she presents the figure of 106,000 deaths per year, in America, as a result of these drugs. I have claimed that the federal government and, in particular, the FDA, are aware of these numbers.
