Arizona’s new law on illegal immigration went into effect last week, albeit severely limited by a federal court ruling. The U.S. Supreme Court undoubtedly will settle the matter, which may also trigger federal regulations. However that turns out, the entire issue cannot simply be seen as an internal American legal matter. More broadly, it forms part of the relations between the United States and Mexico, two sovereign nation-states whose internal dynamics and interests are leading them into an era of increasing tension. Arizona and the entire immigration issue have to be viewed in this broader context.

Food: The Ultimate Secret Exposed Addendum – Chemical BPA Linked to Medical Problems

RODALE NEWS, EMMAUS, PA—A new study appearing in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that higher levels of the chemical bisphenol A (BPA) in people’s urine were associated with cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and liver problems. People with the highest BPA levels were twice as likely to suffer from diabetes or cardiovascular problems than those with lower levels.

THE DETAILS: Found in those hard-plastic water bottles we all carry, BPA is also used in the lining of some soda, food, and baby-formula cans. The hormonelike chemical has been linked to genital abnormalities, early puberty, cancer, type 2 diabetes, obesity, and fertility problems in hundreds of animal studies. This latest study examined data previously collected from 1,455 adults between 18 and 74 years old.

God Bless the 12 Republican American Patriots

July 31st, 2010

 

…that voted for the 7+ billion dollar health care bill for the First Responders.

 Yes, God bless them for refusing to play a stupid game that the old school Republicans are making genuine patriotic Americans sick of. Cut the politics when it needs to be cut and help the first responders. I am emotional about this as 9/11 is fresh in my memory and but a faded paragraph in the minds of the Republicans that threw these heroes under the proverbial bus. For once, we have to honor our heroes.

Cash register can be a BPA polluter

July 28th, 2010
from foodconsumer.org
by David Liu

 

 

Cash registers from your favorite retailers or service providers may be an important source of environmental pollution.  A new study has found almost 40 percent of thermal paper receipts tested contain high levels of bisphenol A or BPA and worse yet, you could not tell which contains EPA and which does not by visual inspection.
 
Bispehnol A, a biologically active estrogen mimic that is an endocrine disruptor, has been known to cause problems with brain, behavioral or reproductive system in young children, according to a comprehensive report released early by the U.S. National Toxicology Program. For instance, exposure to BPA has been linked to early puberty in girls and increased risk of breast cancer

The Caucasus Cauldron

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton visited some interesting spots over the July 4 weekend. Her itinerary included Poland and Ukraine, both intriguing choices in light of the recent Obama-Medvedev talks in Washington. But she also traveled to a region that has not been on the American radar screen much in the last two years — namely, the Caucasus — visiting Georgia, Azerbaijan and Armenia.

The stop in Poland coincided with the signing of a new agreement on ballistic missile defense and was designed to sustain U.S.-Polish relations in the face of the German-Russian discussions we have discussed. The stop in Ukraine was meant simply to show the flag in a country rapidly moving into the Russian orbit. In both cases, the trip was about the Russians. Regardless of how warm the atmospherics are between the United States and Russia, the fact is that the Russians are continuing to rebuild their regional influence and are taking advantage of European disequilibrium to build new relationships there, too. The United States, still focused on Iraq and Afghanistan, has limited surplus capacity to apply to resisting the Russians. No amount of atmospherics can hide that fact, certainly not from the Poles or the Ukrainians. Therefore, if not a substantial contribution, the secretary of state’s visit was a symbolic one. But when there is little of substance, symbols matter.

Doomsday: How BP Gulf disaster may have triggered a ‘world-killing’ event

July 6th, 2010
from helium.com
by Terrence Aym

 

Let’s hope that this article from helium.com by Terrence Aym is just simple conjecture at this point…it’s too close to the Mayan 2012 date for comfort!

Ominous reports are leaking past the BP Gulf salvage operation news blackout that the disaster unfolding in the Gulf of Mexico may be about to reach biblical proportions.

251 million years ago a mammoth undersea methane bubble caused massive explosions, poisoned the atmosphere and destroyed more than 96 percent of all life on Earth. [1] Experts agree that what is known as the Permian extinction event was the greatest mass extinction event in the history of the world. [2]

55 million years later another methane bubble ruptured causing more mass extinctions during the Late Paleocene Thermal Maximum (LPTM).

The LPTM lasted 100,000 years. [3]

Those subterranean seas of methane virtually reshaped the planet when they explosively blew from deep beneath the waters of what is today called the Gulf of Mexico.

Government Suppressing The Truth Knowing The Disaster Coming Will Likely Kill Many People

July 5th, 2010
from WatchmansWarning

 

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rPiXEzMzxU

 

NOTE: If the following statement has any semblance of truth and/or reality, this incident will dwarf 9/11 and the terrorists will have been BP and/or Halliburton, so do your own homework and check the article for veracity…

PLEASE READ ALL OF THE DESCRIPTION BELOW IN ITS ENTIRETY:
This video was found at http://www.infowars.com/bp-homeland-s… and originated from CNN.
It is truly a sign-of-the-times when one sees the absolute disregard of the American government for the American people.

THEY ARE FERVENTLY TRYING TO HIDE THE TRUTH FROM THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!!

NO ONE with a hint of common sense would deny news reporters the access they need (safely) to do their job and report on what they find where the Gulf Oil Spill is concerned. That is….UNLESS they are actively trying to hide something.

The Dismantling of a Suspected Russian Intelligence Operation

July 1st, 2010
from stratfor.com
By Fred Burton and Ben West

 

The U.S. Department of Justice announced June 28 that an FBI counterintelligence investigation had resulted in the arrest on June 27 of 10 individuals suspected of acting as undeclared agents of a foreign country, in this case, Russia. Eight of the individuals were also accused of money laundering. On June 28, five of the defendants appeared before a federal magistrate in U.S. District Court in Manhattan while three others went before a federal magistrate in Alexandria, Va., and two more went before a U.S. magistrate in Boston. An 11th person named in the criminal complaint was arrested in Cyprus on June 29, posted bail and is currently at large.

The number of arrested suspects in this case makes this counterintelligence investigation one of the biggest in U.S. history. According to the criminal complaint, the FBI had been investigating some of these people for as long as 10 years, recording conversations in their homes, intercepting radio and electronic messages and conducting surveillance on them in and out of the United States. The case suggests that the classic tactics of intelligence gathering and counterintelligence are still being used by Russia and the United States.
