letters claim al-CIAda has nukes hidden across america

letters claim al-CIAda has nukes hidden across americafrom the intel hub: 25 letters that claim nuclear bombs are hidden throughout the United States have been sent to multiple investigators and citizens in the Chicago area. The letter inside said, “The Al-Qaeda organization has planted 160 nuclear bombs throughout the U.S. in schools, stadiums, churches, stores, financial institutions and government buildings.” It also said, “This is a suicide mission for us,” reported CBS Chicago.

While this news may be startling to many, it is no surprise to those in the alternative media. The idea of nukes in the United States has run rampant for years, with many believing rogue elements of our government will actually use these nukes within the United States to create enough chaos to initiate a world government. In 2002 the right wing news organization World Net Daily reported that Bin Laden had snuck over 20 suitcase nukes into the United States... This report was one of the first out of a long line of fear mongering reports that have been used to plant the idea of Al Qaeda nuking us into the mind of everyday American citizens. Most remember the “missing nukes” report that broke in 2007... The story was first reported by the Military Times, after military servicemen leaked the story...

The fact that the Pentagon and the CIA run Al Qaeda, have dined with top “terrorist” Anwar al-Awlaki, and openly fund Al Qaeda seems to be unimportant to the corporate controlled media. This isn’t a realistic option yet reports like this are used to trick ignorant Americans into hating Muslims even more. This also gives elements of our government the ability to say, “told you so” if or when a nuke detonates in an American city.

epa helps mainstream media obscure truth about radiation exposure

govt responds to nuclear accident by trying to raise acceptable radiation levels & pretending that radiation is good for us...
epa helps mainstream media obscure truth about radiation exposurefrom activist post: As Americans focus on March Madness and Dancing With the Stars instead of the radioactive plume spreading all across the country, the US EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) is attempting to make the mainstream media cover up of the Fukushima cloud a bit easier.

The agency now notorious for its infamous claim that the air was safe to breathe after 9/11 is now seeking to raise the PAGs (Protective Action Guides) to levels vastly higher than those at which they are currently set allowing for more radioactive contamination of the environment and the general public in the event of a radioactive disaster...

According to PEER (Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility), the new standards would drastically raise the levels of radiation allowed in food, water, air, and the general environment. PEER, a national organization of local, state, and federal employees who had access to internal EPA emails, claims that the new standards will result in a “nearly 1000-fold increase for exposure to strontium-90, a 3000 to 100,000-fold hike for exposure to iodine-131; and an almost 25,000 rise for exposure to radioactive nickel-63” in drinking water. This information, as well as the emails themselves were published by Collapsenet on March 24...

As of the time of this writing, a toxic cloud of radiation has not only reached the US West Coast, but has spread all the way across the country to states like South Carolina, North Carolina, Florida, and Massachussetts. Both the US government and the mainstream media have largely denied any risk associated with the radiation and have actively engaged in covering up the extent to which it has spread across the country.

liberals willing to trade blood & treasure for oil profits under obamafrom activist post: It's perplexing to see a high level of support for the unprovoked bombing of Libya on so-called "progressive" websites. There has been an endless stream of humanitarian propaganda flowing from these sites trying to convince average liberals that the "human thing to do" is to rain down tomahawk missiles with depleted uranium to bring freedom and democracy to an oppressed people. Huffington Post ran a piece by Ed Schultz titled Why I Support President Obama's Decision to Invade Libya where he described his reasoning as follows:

But it also can be a reminder that the earth is not dying – it is very much alive! Our ideas of an end can be a self fulfilling prophecy.

US 'approaching' insolvency, fix to be 'very painful'

US approaching insolvency, fix to be 'very painful'from reuters: The United States is on a fiscal path towards insolvency and policymakers are at a "tipping point," a Federal Reserve official said on Tuesday. "If we continue down on the path on which the fiscal authorities put us, we will become insolvent, the question is when," Dallas Federal Reserve Bank President Richard Fisher said in a question and answer session after delivering a speech at the University of Frankfurt. "The short-term negotiations are very important, I look at this as a tipping point." But he added he was confident in the Americans' ability to take the right decisions and said the country would avoid insolvency. "I think we are at the beginning of the process and it's going to be very painful," he added. Fisher earlier said the US economic recovery is gathering momentum, adding that he personally was extremely vigilant on inflation pressures. Fisher added that the U.S. Federal Reserve had ways to tighten its monetary policy other than interest rates, including by selling treasuries, changing reserves levels and using time deposits.

lupe fiasco track questions wtc7 collapse, album tops billboard chart

lupe fiasco track questions wtc7 collapse, album tops billboard chartfrom ae911truth.org: Atlantic Records rap star Lupe Fiasco calls the collapse of World Trade Center building 7 into question on his new album ‘Lasers,’ released March 8, 2011. In “Words I Never Said,” the new radio single off of ‘Lasers,’ he asks “9/11, building 7: did they really pull it?” (at 0:46) It is one of three songs selected as “singles” by Atlantic to promote the album. Lupe’s third official release—and first in which he specifically questions the government’s version of events on 9/11/01 with reference to ignored evidence - is the Grammy Award winner’s first #1 album in the United States (all genres), with over 200,000 units sold in its opening week... “Words I Never Said” is track #2 on the album... The video will “most likely be the biggest Lupe video to date” and be released before the end of February (in Lupe’s words at 6:04).

desperate western military action against libya has begun

desperate western military action against libya has begunfrom reuters: A coalition of the United States and four other nations launched military action against Libya on Saturday, officials said, as the West tries to force Muammar Gaddafi from power. A U.S. official told reporters on condition of anonymity that a coalition including the United States, France, Britain, Canada and Italy had begun launching strikes on Libya designed to cripple Muammar Gaddafi's air defenses. At least some Arab nations are expected to join the coalition later, the official said. A second U.S. official, speaking to Reuters on condition of anonymity, said missiles were launched from a warship against Libyan targets. U.S. forces and planes will take part in the operation, called "Odyssey Dawn," that will mainly target air defenses around the Libyan cities of Tripoli and Misrata. Some 25 coalition ships, including three U.S. submarines armed with Tomahawk missiles, are stationed in the Mediterranean, a military slide showed. Five U.S. surveillance planes are also in the area, it showed.

'very fond of ska music': secrets of queen mother's record collection

as we take a brief moment away from the chaos...
'very fond of ska music': secrets of queen mother's record collectionfrom daily mail: It is an eclectic – and sometimes eccentric – record collection, spanning Caribbean steel bands, Rodgers & Hammerstein showtunes, Canadian yodelling and Paul Simon’s pop hit You Can Call Me Al. But they were all favourites of the Queen Mother, revealed today as the contents of her private music library is made public for the first time. There are fewer than 100 albums in the collection she kept at her Highland holiday home, the Castle of Mey, but they betray broad, and sometimes surprising, tastes. Alongside the expected classical works, and timeless folk music, the collection also includes the wartime speeches of Winston Churchill, an album of lute music and comedy LPs by Tony Hancock and The Goons.

And although former aides say the Queen Mother was no particular fan of pop music, she was an avid listener of Terry Wogan’s Radio 2 breakfast show... But despite her aversion to modern music, Paul Simon’s acclaimed 1986 album Graceland, which featured a range of African musicians and contained the hit You Can Call Me Al, was apparently a particular favourite. The list of much-loved albums at Mey includes a number of performances by Noel Coward, comedy sketches by Peter Sellers, episodes of BBC radio comedy Hancock’s Half Hour and the soundtracks to both Oklahoma! and, appropriately enough for the wife of a Monarch, The King And I.

beware the ides of march: from then to now

beware the ides of march: from then to nowfrom abc: Roman dictator Julius Ceasar may have been warned that deadly harm would befall him no later than March 15. But the soothsayer who supposedly delivered the prophetic message couldn't possibly have foretold what he would inspire, including a "Simpsons" episode called "Homer the Great, an episode of "Xena: Warrior Princess," and a U.S. rock band from Berwyn, Ill., named the Ides of March. Even Oscar-winner George Clooney is in on the act, reportedly finishing up filming of his "Ides of March," a movie about a presidential campaign in which he acts and directs. Indeed, the supposed encounter that William Shakespeare so tragically depicted in his "Julius Caesar" ("Beware the ides of March") has become the stuff of popular culture. Samantha Thompson, a librarian who manages the New York Public Library's 24-7 reference service, says about a dozen people regularly ask about the Ides of March at any given branch on March 15. "It's an example of a famous, ominous prophesy when the world changed."

tsa records show some scanners emit ten times expected radiation

tsa admits bungling of naked body scanner radiation tests...
tsa records show some scanners emit ten times expected radiationfrom the new american: Americans concerned about exposure to potentially dangerous levels of radiation from the Transportation Security Administration’s full-body scanners just got another reason to worry: USA Today reports that on March 11 the TSA announced “that it would retest every full-body X-ray scanner that emits ionizing radiation — 247 machines at 38 airports — after maintenance records on some of the devices showed radiation levels 10 times higher than expected.” The TSA, of course, insists that all the machines are safe and that the records indicating the high radiation levels are the result of recordkeeping errors by technicians. TSA spokesman Nicholas Kimball told USA Today that, for example, “the testing procedure calls for the technician to take 10 separate scans” for radiation levels, “add them up and then divide by 10 to take an average. They didn’t divide by 10.” In addition, says the paper, “even the highest readings listed on some of the records — the numbers that the TSA says were mistakes — appear to be many times less than what the agency says a person absorbs through one day of natural background radiation.”

ground zero: terra mortis - the advancing galactic wave

featuring guest: stephen smith on the 'electric quake'
ground zero: terra mortis - the advancing galactic wavefrom clyde lewis: While earth’s “pulse” rate is rising, her magnetic field strength, is declining. According to a study from the University of New Mexico, the field has lost up to half its intensity in the last 4,000 years. This decline can cause all kinds of changes in the natural order of things. Plants and animals will show the effects first and then man will begin to become unstable. The effects from such a magnetic shifts have been recorded thousands of years ago. Reports of earthquakes, floods, volcanic activity and plasma from space have been recorded.

portland activists fighting fbi fake terror, storm city hall

video: jttf protesters storm into portland city hall...
portland activists fighting fbi fake terror, storm city hallfrom land destroyer: Portland, Oregon based Media Monarchy recently tweeted a video of We Are Change activists taking to their local city hall demanding that their city remain out of the FBI's Joint Terrorist Task Force (JTTF). In 2005, Portland became the first city in the United States to opt-out of the FBI's JTTF over concerns it would threaten civil liberties.

The renewed push to reconsider this decision comes on the back of December 2010's FBI fake-terror stunt involving a "Muslim" teen who was approached, trained, and equipped to carry out a terrorist attack aimed at Portland's annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony. The bomb supplied to Mohamed Osman Mohamud was inactive and he was arrested shortly after attempting to remote detonate it.

oregon officials: no public health risk from japan nuclear emergency

events in japan poses no health risk in oregon at this time...
yet geologists say: japan-like quake could happen here...

from the oregonian: Nuclear experts from Oregon and the U.S. responded Saturday to an explosion at a Japanese nuclear plant, saying there's no reason to believe large waves of radiation will cross the Pacific Ocean. Air quality remained normal in Oregon, the Oregon Health Authority said Saturday afternoon. In a written statement, department officials said the blast posed no risk to the state. The U.S. Energy Department also said Saturday there were no immediate impacts in the United States. "There is no indication whatsoever that materials from the incidents in Japan have potential to have any meaningful effect on the U.S. homeland," Stephanie Mueller, the U.S. energy department's press secretary, wrote in an e-mail to The Oregonian.

Mueller said U.S. officials continue to work with the Japanese government to review the situation and "will provide whatever assistance they request to help them bring the reactors under control."

Yet, many people wrote in blogs and online forums, questioning whether a jet stream might carry the radiation over to the U.S. Asked one Oregon Live commenter, co2: "Should I tell my grandson that he possibly is being exposed to extra radiation here in Oregon from this event? Or that the wind will bring it over in a week or so?"

Saturday's hydrogen explosion ripped through a concrete shell around the reactor, but didn't tear the primary steel container that housed the nuclear reactor. That means the plant's radioactive materials remain largely contained, said Brian Woods, an Oregon State nuclear engineering professor who studies reactor safety.

"Although it sounds really, really bad, the reality is that this primary containment is in contact," Woods said. "And as long as it's intact, no large amounts or radioactive material will make it out."

For that reason, Woods characterized Saturday's explosion as entirely different than the Chernobyl disaster. The reactor lacked the critical primary container, Woods said, and the reactor burned in the open-air.

Although Saturday's explosion likely released some radioactive material into the air, Woods called the amount relatively small. Areas closest to the reactor would be the most affected, he said.

"We're 3,000 miles away," Woods said. "I would really anticipate a very, very negligible amount of radioactive material making it as far as the U.S."
