Wal-Mart Cuts Way Back -Arkansas Bank Fails (5-10-08)http://www.rense.com/general81/ark.htm The collapse of ANB Financial National Association is significant. Population of Bentonville, Arkansas is 19,500 people .... and Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. Bentonville IS Wal-Mart! For the past four months, Wal-Mart (Bentonville, Arkansas) has been canceling http://tinyurl.com/5botap almost all of their major corporate projects into the future. We know the magnitude of Wal-Mart's financial dilemma directly from its internal legal "dropped project memos" and "Real Estate Committee reapproval memos."Wal-Mart press releases and media news reports to the public are disingenuous. Over 700,000 Chinese exporters/manufacturers http://tinyurl.com/26mqx7 are now refusing to accept U.S. dollars as payment for products for retail sales. Wal-Mart's on-shelf stock numbers have been significantly reduced. Merchandise quality is now marginal to bad and in many cases becoming unavailable as prices skyrocket with broad spectrum factors coming together to create an uncomfortable sales environment. Wal-Mart's total overhead is becoming unsustainable we believe.

Bush in 1990, allowing the election to swing to pro-business Democrat Bill Clinton.-- -- -- --Will Libertarians Draw Conservatives From McCain? 24 May 2008 by: Steven Thomma, http://www.truthout.org/article/will-libertarians-draw-conservatives-from-mccain Denver - Shana Kluck of Tuscaloosa, Ala., worked for Ron Paul in his quest for the Republican presidential nomination. Now that he's fallen short, she's switching parties, traveling to Denver this weekend to help former Republican Congressman Bob Barr win the Libertarian presidential nomination. That kind of defection has some Libertarians thinking Barr could turn the fledgling party into a magnet for disaffected conservatives, gain national attention, and, perhaps, even draw votes away from Republican John McCain in close states as Ralph Nader did to Al Gore in Florida in 2000. clip..-- -- -- --Bob Barr http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Barr Robert Laurence "Bob" Barr, Jr.[2] (born November 5, 1948) is the Libertarian Party candidate for President of the United States in the 2008 election. He is an American attorney and former member of the United States House of Representatives. He represented Georgia's 7th congressional district as a Republican from 1995 to 2003. His parents served in the U.S. military, and he spent many years with them abroad; including Lima, Peru where he attended Colegio Franklin Delano Roosevelt, The American School of Lima,[citation needed] and Tehran, Iran where he graduated from Community High School in 1966. Barr returned to the U.S., attending the University of Southern California and joining the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity in 1967. Barr completed his B.A. from University of Southern California in 1970. Barr later earned his M.A. from George Washington University in 1972, and his J.D. from Georgetown University Law Center in 1977. From 1970 to 1978, Barr was employed by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). After leaving the CIA, Barr moved to Georgia, where he practiced law and became active in the Republican Party. Barr made an unsuccessful bid for the Georgia House of Representatives in 1984. In 1986, Barr was appointed by President Reagan[5] to serve as U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Georgia -- a post Barr held until 1990. Barr sought the Republican Party (GOP) nomination for U.S. Senate in 1992, but lost the primary election to Paul Coverdell. Barr was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1994 as a Republican, upsetting six-term Democrat Buddy Darden, to represent Georgia's 7th congressional district in the 104th United States Congress. Barr was later re-elected three times, serving from 1995 to 2003.[4] While in Congress, Barr served as a senior member of the Judiciary Committee, as Vice-Chairman of the Government Reform Committee, and as a member of the Committee of Financial Services. Georgia's congressional districts were reorganized by the Democrat-controlled Georgia legislature ahead of the 2002 elections for the 108th Congress. The majority of the new district 7 was composed of regions formerly associated with district 11, then represented by Republican John Linder. Much to the Democrats' delight, this redistricting led Barr to challenge Linder for district 7 representation. It meant the inevitable defeat of an incumbent Republican (in this case Barr.)--------------Border officials may seize iPods under trade deal May 24, 2008 (excerpt)http://www.nationalpost.com/news/story.html?id=536951 OTTAWA - The federal government is secretly negotiating a copyright agreement that could make some information on Canadian iPods, laptop computers or other personal electronic devices illegal. Called the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA), the new plan would see Canada join other countries, including the United States and members of the European Union, to form an international coalition against copyright infringement. The deal would create an international regulator that could turn border guards and other public security personnel into copyright police. The security officials would be charged with checking laptops, iPods and even cellular phones for content that "infringes" on copyright laws, such as ripped CDs and movies.The guards would also be responsible for determining what is infringing content and what is not. Any content that may have been copied from a DVD or digital video recorder would be open for scrutiny by officials -- even if the content was copied legally. Anyone found with infringing content would be open to a fine. clip..-------------Govt Core Database Tracks 'Enemies Of The State' By Joel Skousen World Affairs Brief 5-23-8http://www.rense.com/general82/gov.htm Harper's magazine investigative reporter Christopher Ketcham says that the federal government's secret "Continuity in Governance" program is much more than a contingency plan to provide safe havens for high government officials during a national crisis. After interviewing half a dozen former government officials with direct knowledge of the program, he was left with the impression that it was also about using a national emergency to justify rounding up potential dissidents who oppose government power. "According to a senior government officialThere exists a database of Americans, who, often for the slightest and most trivial reason, are considered unfriendly, and who, in a time of panic, might be incarcerated. The database can identify and locate perceived 'enemies of the state' almost instantaneously." Scott Horton, Ketcham's colleague at Harpers comments that "He and other sources tell Radar (the publication where Ketcham originally published his research) that the database is sometimes referred to by the code name 'Main Core' [aka the "RED" list]. One knowledgeable source claims that 8 million Americans are now listed in Main Core as potentially suspect. In the event of a national emergency, these people could be subject to everything from heightened surveillance and tracking to direct questioning and possibly even detention.] "Ketcham starts his narrative with former Deputy Attorney General James Comey's dramatic disclosures about the nighttime visit that Alberto Gonzales and Andrew Card paid on an ailing, hospitalized John Ashcroft [uS Attorney General]. They whipped out papers and pressed the sedated Ashcroft to sign them. In what has come to be viewed as the most noble act of his term, Ashcroft angrily sent Gonzales and Card on their way. Comey later provided a riveting account of this incident, under oath, in Congressional testimony. "Ketcham goes on to explain how the database would be used and who's on the list. And surely Congress is keeping an eye on this program, yes? No, not really. This information, coupled with the evil legal precedent established by Judge Michael Luttig means that any number of patriotic constitutionalists can be herded into concentration camps without due process and disappear forever with no right to habeas corpus. Luttig's September 9, 2005 opinion, written for a 3-judge panel Fourth Circuit Court ruling in the Jose Padilla case, said the government could arrest any citizen on American soil and keep them prisoner indefinitely as long as they did not charge them with a crime - all to avoid the constitutional requirement for a speedy trial. This can be done, Luttig said, simply by designating them an "enemy combatant." clip..--------------Letter from Lhasa 27.04.2008 http://www.earthrainbownetwork.com/Archives2008/Veracity21.htm The following letter was written by a resident in Lhasa, who wishes to remain anonymous, and gives a personal account of the current environment in the city: (excerpt) ...It is difficult to describe Lhasa these days, because you can only see a fraction of what is really going on. If you quickly glance at the city it may seem normal except for the old Tibetan centre, east of the Potala Palace. In the centre, military has occupied every intersection and stand on every side street, diligently checking your identity card. Even the tiniest of alleyways have at least four military personnel, of whom at least one has a bayonet and all of them a shield, a bat and a helmet. The bigger intersections have more military and people often have to line up in order to get checked. Ethnic Chinese can pass these checkpoints much easier than local Tibetans. Tibetans living at Dromsikhang and the Barkhor need a special, police issued paper in order to be allowed to go in and out the immediate area surrounding their homes. The square in front of the holiest Tibetan Temple, the Jokhang, normally a sea of people, prostrating, circumambulating and socialising, is now completely empty. In front of the square two military in blue uniforms strictly ensure nobody walks on the square. As back up, in case they miss a person, military in green suddenly appear out of no where to apprehend and push back person's entering these normally public areas. The round pedestrian street circling the Jokhang is empty too. Only people living in this area are allowed to pass, forbidden to do religious Koras around the Jokhang, and instead on the normally bustling retail and religious lanes you can only find small children playing football and other games, trying to get on with life, behind the military guards on these silent streets. On Beijing Road and Sera Road the government has initiated road works. Sections of road are being dug up and replaced where cars were burnt during the March 14 protests leaving black tarmac. Sidewalks on Beijing Road are being repaved as well after protesters used the pavement stones to throw and break shop windows. As you walk through Lhasa, you can still see many burnt or damaged shops. On Beijing Road alone, there are around 16 shops or shopping complexes burnt out, one of them being the Bank of China and one a jewellery store. Walking the streets of Lhasa, seeing big tea houses unusually empty and many shops still closed, it makes you aware of how scared people are these days. Very few people stop on the street when they meet friends, because every gathering of people is suspicious. A lot of people still stay at home because they are scared they will get arrested for no reason if they go out. When you finally find someone not too scared to talk to you, you hear consistent, dramatic, disturbing and daunting stories that give you nightmares. But since they don't have proof of what happened, it is difficult to inform the media. From the 14th of March 2008, there has been a heavy military presence in addition to the original security cameras which all monitor the city so people were too scared to take photographs of the tanks in front of the Jokhang Temple and elsewhere in town. And since all the dead bodies got immediately carried away by the military or taken from peoples home during nightly military raids, nobody can prove their brother, relative or friend died, all they can confirm is that this person disappeared. Only rumours about the death toll and the arrested people are anxiously passed from person to person. On March 14th, in the evening my wife went to pick up our child from school around 6p.m. At that time the military was already on Jiangsu Road were the school was. The military was shooting at the locals who went to pick up their children. One woman got shot in her leg and one man was hit in the head or neck and he died. Later his brother wanted to get his corpse from the hospital, but the hospital didn't want to give it out. Finally the brother got so desperate that he threatened to burn himself and the hospital if they didn't give his dead brother to his family. The hospital gave him his brother's body, but just a few hours after they came home the military came and took the dead body away. After March 14th whenever somebody died, you had to get three different papers in order to be allowed to bring the dead body to the sky burial place. If you didn't have these papers you got pushed back inside your house with the dead body by the army; a very bad omen in Tibetan culture. These three papers one needed were from the local police, the hospital and a lawyer. The reason for this was that with this rule the government made sure that everybody who didn't die under normal circumstances was found and taken away from the family, so nobody can make pictures and show them to friends or journalists outside Tibet. On March 14, 15 and 16 military came around midnight to check the homes in our area for pictures of the Dalai Lama, and took everybody with them who didn't have an identity card. They also had with them pictures of people who were in the demonstrations and they compared them with our faces. About 50 military men with guns came to our home and searched everything. We stayed at home for three days, only going out to go to the toilet and we only had Tsampa to eat, and people whose home ran out of gas even couldn't boil water. The gate to our house complex was closed and there were army posted in front of it. If you went out, you got beaten up quite badly by them. After three days everybody who worked for the government got a phone call and had to go back to work. Without this working permit we were still not allowed to go out. I know at least seven people who got arrested and one who got shot. When the foreign journalists were in Lhasa, I think it was from 27th to 29th of March, the military suddenly disappeared from the streets. Instead of wearing their military uniform they changed into traffic police, gatekeeper uniforms or civil dress and they were hiding inside buildings and behind corners where the journalists couldn't see them. We were suddenly allowed to go everywhere; there were no checkpoints during these days. When the journalists were allowed to walk around by themselves, officials in normal clothes or traditional dress followed them, answered their questions and made pictures of individuals who talked to the press. We wanted to tell the press what is going on here in reality, behind this show that was made up for them, but we didn't have any chance to get close to them without being punished for that later. When we finally heard that the Jokhang monks told them the truth we were very happy. After the journalists left the military came back into public immediately and we heard that the Jokhang monks got arrested for their statements in front of the media and officials two days later. Between 17th and 20th of April most of the monks were taken away from Sera to an unknown place. Sera Monastery normally has over 300 monks but now there is only a handful left who care for the chapels. Around midnight about fifteen to twenty military trucks came and detained the monks. We have this information from inside the monastery and also from an abutting owner. But we don't know what is happening in Drepung and Ganden, two of the biggest monastic centres around Lhasa, but we have heard they have been arrested and taken out of Lhasa.From the monasteries around Lhasa a lot of monks and nuns got taken away too and the ones who are still at their monastery are under house arrest. We think the government is scared that when the Olympic flame is in Lhasa there will be new protests by the monks and nuns, that's why they detain them. They took all of them, no matter if they protested on March 10th and the following days or not, only chapel keepers, drivers and a few other monastery workers are allowed to stay in the monasteries. There is a big problem in jail now. There is not enough food, not enough water and not enough blankets. The prisoners have to sleep on the ground and sometimes they only get one cup of water a day and nothing else. This way they get health problems, their bodies get really weak and they die, either in prison or after they get released. The prisoners get beaten up very badly. They especially beat the kidney, liver and gall region so prisoners get internal injuries and slowly die. We know this from three friends who just got released from prison. Never before have I seen Tibetan people so desperate and angry that they do things they know they will die for or be put in prison for a long time. clip..--------------Codex Alimentarius, Big Pharma Through the World Health Organization & the Food Agriculture Organization will ban vitamin & mineral supplements, re-legalize toxic persistent organic pollutants, and make food irradiation, animal antibiotics and growth hormones mandatory, starting at the end of 2009. 6 min video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7awAo6CA5i4also see: www.HealthFreedomUSA.org -------------Uranium enrichment facility moves closer to reality by Ruth Campbell May 23, 2008http://www.mywesttexas.com/articles/2008/05/24/news/top_stories/les_uranium_enrichment.txt Since its groundbreaking in August 2006, Louisiana Energy Services' uranium enrichment facility near Eunice, N.M., has sprung out of the earth and expectations are the $1.5 billion facility will come on line by late 2009. The plant will produce enriched uranium, which is needed to make fuel pellets that will be sent off to make electricity. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission issued LES a license to build and operate the facility June 23, 2006. It is the first one to be licensed in America the last 30 years, she said, noting that progress is being followed closely by the nuclear industry. The National Enrichment Facility is the first of its kind in the United States, but will be the fourth in the world. The Eunice plant was modeled after one in the Netherlands. Enrichment services will be available in late 2009, but construction will continue through 2013. It is owned by Urenco, a consortium of the British, Dutch and German governments. ------------Beware the US military's experiments with climatic warfare, says Michel Chossudovsky 22/05/2008 (excerpt) http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va & aid=7561 High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP), is an appendage of the Strategic Defense Initiative – 'Star Wars'. From a military standpoint, HAARP is a weapon of mass destruction, operating from the outer atmosphere and capable of destabilising agricultural and ecological systems around the world. Weather-modification, according to the US Air Force document AF 2025 Final Report, 'offers the war fighter a wide range of possible options to defeat or coerce an adversary', capabilities, it says, extend to the triggering of floods, hurricanes, droughts and earthquakes: 'Weather modification will become a part of domestic and international security and could be done unilaterally… It could have offensive and defensive applications and even be used for deterrence purposes. The ability to generate precipitation, fog and storms on earth or to modify space weather… and the production of artificial weather all are a part of an integrated set of [military] technologies.' In 1977, an international Convention was ratified by the UN General Assembly which banned 'military or other hostile use of environmental modification techniques having widespread, long-lasting or severe effects.' It defined 'environmental modification techniques' as 'any technique for changing – through the deliberate manipulation of natural processes – the dynamics, composition or structure of the earth, including its biota, lithosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere, or of outer space.'The HAARP Programme Established in 1992, HAARP, based in Gokona, Alaska, is an array of high-powered antennas that transmit, through high-frequency radio waves, massive amounts of energy into the ionosphere (the upper layer of the atmosphere). Their construction was funded by the US Air Force, the US Navy and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). Operated jointly by the Air Force Research Laboratory and the Office of Naval Research, HAARP constitutes a system of powerful antennas capable of creating 'controlled local modifications of the ionosphere'. According to its official website,www.haarp.alaska.edu, HAARP will be used 'to induce a small, localized change in ionospheric temperature so physical reactions can be studied by other instruments located either at or close to the HAARP site'. But Rosalie Bertell, president of the International Institute of Concern for Public Health, says HAARP operates as 'a gigantic heater that can cause major disruptions in the ionosphere, creating not just holes, but long incisions in the protective layer that keeps deadly radiation from bombarding the planet'. Physicist Dr Bernard Eastlund called it 'the largest ionospheric heater ever built'. HAARP is presented by the US Air Force as a research programme, but military documents confirm its main objective is to 'induce ionospheric modifications' with a view to altering weather patterns and disrupting communications and radar. According to a report by the Russian State Duma: 'The US plans to carry out large-scale experiments under the HAARP programme [and] create weapons capable of breaking radio communication lines and equipment installed on spaceships and rockets, provoke serious accidents in electricity networks and in oil and gas pipelines, and have a negative impact on the mental health of entire regions.' An analysis of statements emanating from the US Air Force points to the unthinkable: the covert manipulation of weather patterns, communications and electric power systems as a weapon of global warfare, enabling the US to disrupt and dominate entire regions. HAARP was developed as part of an Anglo-American partnership between Raytheon Corporation, which owns the HAARP patents, and British Aerospace Systems (BAES). The HAARP project is one among several collaborative ventures in advanced weapons systems between the two defence giants. The HAARP project was initiated in 1992 by Advanced Power Technologies, Inc. (APTI), a subsidiary of Atlantic Richfield Corporation (ARCO). APTI (including the HAARP patents) was sold by ARCO to E-Systems Inc, in 1994. E-Systems, on contract to the CIA and US Department of Defense, outfitted the 'Doomsday Plan', which 'allows the President to manage a nuclear war'. Subsequently acquired by Raytheon Corporation, it is among the largest intelligence contractors in the World. BAES was involved in the development of the advanced stage of the HAARP antenna array under a 2004 contract with the Office of Naval Research. The installation of 132 highfrequency transmitters was entrusted by BAES to its US subsidiary, BAE Systems Inc. The project, according to a July report in Defense News, was undertaken by BAES's Electronic Warfare division. In September it received DARPA's top award for technical achievement for the design, construction and activation of the HAARP array of antennas. The HAARP system is fully operational and in many regards dwarfs existing conventional and strategic weapons systems. While there is no firm evidence of its use for military purposes, Air Force documents suggest HAARP is an integral part of the militarisation of space. clip. Related: -- -- -- --Weather Wars?

It is claimed that a prolonged drought in California in the Eighties was caused by the blocking of warm, moist air for many weeks. clip.The HAARP website: http://www.haarp.alaska.edu/-------------The New World Order's Fascist Pedigree By Henry Makow, PhD ToogoodReports.com 4-18-2 (excerpt) http://www.rense.com/general24/ped.htm ...The largest German cartel was the chemical, film and pharmaceutical giant I.G. Farben. In 1926, Farben and Standard Oil entered into a cartel agreement in which Farben stayed out of synthetic oil in return for Standard representing Farben in the US. Standard Oil supplied the Nazis with petroleum in spite of shortages in the US. It supplied a rare lead additive without which the Luftwaffe could not fly. It suppressed the production of synthetic rubber in the US, which almost cost the Allies the war. In turn, Rockefeller got a cut of Farben's other business, which included the many factories that employed slave labor from concentration camps like Auschwitz. This is the real reason the rail lines to Auschwitz were not bombed. Allied bombers hit within 14 miles of Auschwitz but the factories and death camp were off limits. In fact, German industry moved there for this reason. After the war, the CIA established its German headquarters in the undamaged Farben skyscraper in Frankfurt. It is not an exaggeration to say that the Nazi war effort was financed by the Bank of England (which, for example, transferred the Czech gold reserves to the Nazis), Wall Street (Prescott Bush, W's grandfather was one of the leading Nazi financiers) and Jewish plunder. It was finessed by lawyer John Foster Dulles, a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, who later became US Secretary of State. After the war, Dillon Read banker General William Draper was put in charge of dismantling German industry and distributing it among the allies. Needless to say, this did not happen. His Wall Street cohorts owned too much of it. Nazis businessmen remained in positions of power, war criminals were transported to South America, or went to work for the CIA. On the first day of World War Two, His Majesty's ship "Lorna" fired on the limping overcrowded "Tiger Hill" as she approached Palestine with 1417 Jewish refugees. The first people killed by the British in WWII were not Germans but Jewish escapees from Germany. Other refugee ships (e.g. the "St. Louis") were sent back to Germany by the US or blown up with all souls on board by British MI-6 (the "Struma"). For the whole story, read The Holocaust Conspiracy (1989) by William R. Perl, a Lt. Colonel with the US Army Intelligence Service. The list of US corporations that had the equivalent of $8 billion invested in Nazi Germany include Standard Oil, General Motors, IBM, Ford, the Chase and National City Banks, ITT and many others. As a result, the men of "We Were Soldiers" didn't know that ITT built the airplanes that dropped bombs on them. They didn't know that Ford and General Motors built the Nazi's trucks and tanks. They didn't know that ball bearings crucial to the Nazi war effort were manufactured in Philadelphia, yet were in short supply in the USA. This was all done with the knowledge and permission of the US government. For details, I recommend Charles Higham's Trading with the Enemy(1983). Christopher Simpson's The Splendid Blond Beast(1993) and Blowback (1988) are also useful... clip..Paranormal_Research - Scientific Data, Health Conspiracies & Anything Strange Paranormal_ResearchSubscribe:...
