5 Years After: Portugal's Drug Decriminalization Policy Shows Positive Results

... Five years later, the number of deaths from street drug overdoses dropped from around 400 to 290 annually, and the number of new HIV cases caused by using dirty needles to inject heroin, cocaine and other illegal substances plummeted from nearly 1,400 in 2000 to about 400 in 2006, according to a report released recently by the Cato Institute, a Washington, D.C, libertarian think tank.

"Now instead of being put into prison, addicts are going to treatment centers and they're learning how to control their drug usage or getting off drugs entirely," report author Glenn Greenwald, a former New York State constitutional litigator, said during a press briefing at Cato last week. ...

Red Cross Bans Christmas

Kurt Haskell Has Waited A Year

Kurt Haskell, the Michigan attorney who saw a "sharp dressed man" escort the "underwear bomber" around normal security protocols, has waited a year for the government to release the truth that the "underwear bomber" was put on that plane as a violation of security protocols. In an effort to inform the American people of the corrupt and fake air security, Kurt is taking his motivation to the people via a blog and radio show.

CNN interview of the Haskell's:

UK Newspaper Lies About "Terror Strike"

The Sun newspaper has admitted that it lied about a possible Christmas terror strike in the U.K.

"... there was no specific threat from Al-Qaeda as we reported."

GMO Conspiracy

While the USA ambassador to France is creating a retaliatory list to force France to accept genetically modified food, Hershey's is creating non-GMO food for Europe.

The USA and Spain also conspired to artificially drive up food prices to sway public opinion into accepting GMO in Europe.


Wikileaks is exposing the conspiracy to force GMO on the public:
"Europe is moving backwards not forwards on this issue with France playing a leading role, along with Austria, Italy and even the [European] Commission... Moving to retaliation will make clear that the current path has real costs to EU interests and could help strengthen European pro-biotech voice."

"The key ingredients which have been re-formulated from non-GM sources include changing the sugar source from beet to cane sugar and using IP (Identity Preservation) soy lecithin," explained Julian Walker-Palin, Head of Corporate Sustainability at Asda, in an email to Peter Melchett, head of the U.K. Soil Association. "In addition to this the transportation and storage have been confirmed also as GM-free or cleaned before use with these products."

Hike Food Prices To Boost GM Crop Approval In Europe

In a January 2008 meeting, US and Spain trade officials strategized how to increase acceptance of genetically modified foods in Europe, including inflating food prices on the commodities market, according to a leaked US diplomatic cable released by WikiLeaks.

Pilot Exposes Long-Standing Security Flaws

A pilot exposes long-standing flaws in TSA's security theater and then gets harassed by the TSA. For the TSA, the show must go on even if it is a scam. Anyone who points out the scam will be harassed.

Sacramento-area pilot punished

"And the message was you've angered us by telling the truth and by showing America that there are major security problems despite the fact that we've spent billions of dollars allegedly to improve airline safety," Werno said.

Federal Reserve Hates Christmas

The (private cartel) Federal Reserve told a bank to stop displaying teller's pins of Mary and baby Jesus.
They are taking Christ out of Christmas and life.


Elected officials have taken up the bank's cause against the Federal Reserve:

“This is an all-out assault on the faith, values and rights of the bank, its employees and the people of Perkins they serve,” Inhofe said.

Bank Of America Sucks

Bank of America appears to be following BP's Gulf spill strategy of buying the media.

Bank of America Wants You to Know Its Executives Don’t Suck

As Bank of American awaits a possible release of information from WikiLeaks, it wants to ensure that you don’t think its executives suck. Or blow for that matter.

The company has been aggressively registering domain names including its Board of Directors’ and senior executives’ names followed by “sucks” and “blows”.

Deutsche Bank Admits Criminal Wrong Doing

They pay a fine for an admitted criminal violation, while a hungry American who steals food will go to jail. If the banks can settle their criminal acts through a payoff, what is to make them think twice from future criminal acts?

Deutsche Bank to pay over $550M in fraud probe

Deutsche Bank admitted criminal wrongdoing and agreed to pay more than $550 million in connection with its participation in tax shelters that enabled the rich to temporarily avoid paying hundreds of millions of dollars in U.S. taxes, authorities announced Tuesday.

TSA Xray Risks

Scientists and physicians from University of California San Francisco wrote a letter earlier this year describing their concerns about TSA full body xrays. From the conclusion of the letter:

... there has not been sufficient review of the intermediate and long-term effects of radiation exposure associated with airport scanners. There is good reason to believe that these scanners will increase the risk of cancer to children and other vulnerable populations.

Government Sponsored "Terrorism" In Sweden

Surely the government would not allow a bomb to be detonated as that would be state-sponsored terrorism. This wouldn't happen in other countries to scare the populace and pass stricter laws like the USA's "Patriot Act" and "Military Commissions Act".

Military staffer knew about attacks
A Swedish Armed Forces (Försvarsmakten) employee warned an acquaintance to stay clear of an area in central Stockholm on Saturday where, several hours later, two explosions went off in what is being called a terrorist attack.

Record Cold in Sweden And Germany

Global warming has missed Europe.

Sweden in 'coldest December in 100 years'

She explained that Sweden has experienced more cold days and more snow than is normal for December.

“There were a number of days in a row with below-freezing temperatures, so called ice days. And that we have that before Lucia (December 13th) hasn’t happened in more than 100 years,” she said.

Swedes take it in stride, and continue with tradition. School children singing Santa Lucia in Gustav Stockholm's Vasa Church.



Blizzard slams Germany

Traffic jams of up to 40 kilometres formed in the state, with rescue workers providing hot drinks and blankets for chilly drivers.

There was so much snow in the state of Hesse that even street cleanup vehicles became stuck, while in Frankfurt so many people slept in their vehicles during traffic jams that police had to wake them once the roads began to clear.

Snow pile for sale on eBay

“We don’t need it any longer because we’ll be getting a new one soon,” the eBay description continues.

Mexicans Bypass TSA Security Theater

Janet Napolitano continues to make a mockery of the rule of law by allowing Mexicans to bypass airport security through the Global Entry Program.

United States has signed a “trusted traveler” agreement that allows pre-screened Mexican airline passengers to bypass lengthy airport security checkpoints.

The Global Entry Program and it's "trusted traveler program" do background checks and require a fingerprint. "All applicants undergo a rigorous background check and interview before enrollment." How does this prove a person will not become a threat in the future? Does this not set up people in the "trusted traveler program" for blackmail or threats of violence against their family so they will be coerced to carry dangerous items around the security screening?

Fingerprints and backgrounds prove nothing about what a person may do in the future. Anyone in the program will unwittingly set themselves up as a target for coercion and blackmail.

Ben Bernanke Is (Or Is Not) Printing Money

Karzai Skips Obama

Afghan President Hamid Karzai, despite being just twenty-five miles from the site of Obama's visit, was unable to visit with Obama in person. Obama's surprise Christmas troop vists are becoming an embarassment.

President Obama made a brief, unannounced visit Friday to Afghanistan. But in a scenario that seemed symbolic of star-crossed U.S. relations with the administration of Afghan President Hamid Karzai, the two leaders were unable to meet face to face.
