USA is Reportedly Funding the Taliban in Afghanistan!
The new feeling is that less than half of the Taliban’s war chest comes from poppy, with a variety of sources, including private contributions from Persian Gulf states, accounting for much of the rest. Holbrooke told reporters that he would add a member of the Treasury Department to his staff to pursue the question of Taliban funding.
But perhaps U.S. officials need look no further than their own backyard.
Anecdotal evidence is mounting that the Taliban are taking a hefty portion of assistance money coming into Afghanistan from the outside.
This goes beyond mere protection money or extortion of “taxes” at the local level — very high-level negotiations take place between the Taliban and major contractors, according to sources close to the process.

Sheriff Richard Mack Responds to Southern Poverty Law Center's Hate Speech Smear Attack on Oath Keepers
August 14, 2009
www.oathkeepers.org
Richard Mack press release:
In all the years that Morris Dees and his Southern Poverty Law Center (a name to this day I still don’t understand) have been writing about me, not once has anyone in Dees’ office nor he personally, ever made any attempt to contact me to get my side of the “information” they put out about me. Dees has claimed that I am some icon of the militias and quite honestly, I have no idea where he gets this stuff. I have had no contact with any militia group and have never been a member of any militia. What little I do know about militia groups is that they do appear to be much more honorable people than Morris Dees. The SPLC ought to follow the rules of common decency and stop spreading their own hate speech about people they know very little about.
Anyone who has heard me speak at the Oath Keepers ceremony in Lexington or anywhere else in the country, know that I abhor violence and have never advocated or encouraged such tactics. In fact, at the Lexington Oath Keepers event I spoke of my admiration for Rosa Parks and how we should all follow her example. What does the SPLC call Rosa Parks? I simply suggest that we should all stand against stupid laws just as she did; and yes, even if some of those laws today are IRS tax codes, many of which are the epitome of stupidity.
If Morris Dees and his SPLC believe the words in the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence are offensive and extreme, then I suggest he find a place to live that is not given to such “hate speech.” Those of us who do not believe in putting Americans in concentration camps (as the government did to Japanese Americans during WWII) or don’t believe in gun control or out of control spending or bailouts for Wallstreet criminals or the trampling of our freedoms by those in office who swore to protect the same, just because we don’t believe in such things does not make us racists. Mr. Dees, why don’t you tell us all how much money you have made by spreading such misinformation?
I challenge Morris Dees to an honest open debate about any or all of these issues. If he really believes his information to be true; he should have no problem accepting my offer.
Sheriff Richard Mack (RET)
MORE FROM STEWART RHODES:
Apparently, the SPLC finds it particularly worrisome that active duty and retired military and police would dare to gather on April 19, 2009 on Lexington Green and renew our oaths to defend the Constitution. The horrors!
Next I will be posting the response of Navy LCDR David Gillie (who also spoke at Lexington), and then my own response.

Chicago's Uptown on the Verge of Possible Marital Law Over "Near Riot-Like" Activity?
Would Chicago Declare Martial Law? from Video by Joe Gray on Vimeo.
Over the last few nights in Uptown, there has been near riot-like activity occurring on the streets. If this violence continues, will the government declare martial law? Many of the residents seem to begging for something to be done. Could an event like this be used to impose martial law? The above video was recorded by a local resident from his home.
Increased police patrols are promised in the area around Leland and Sheridan in Chicago's Uptown neighborhood after "near riot-like" activity in the streets the past few nights.
Video from the area appears to show about a dozen people running back and forth in the street, breaking bottles and yelling. One NBCChicago.com visitor wrote of "near riot-like gang fighting," and said that shots were fired Thursday night at about 10:30.
On the Web site UptownUpdate.com, commenters express fear and anger over the activity.

FDIC's Bair Tells Sen. Banning 500 More U.S. Banks May Fail This Year!
Last month, FDIC Chairman Sheila Bair told Senator Bunning that up to 500 more banks may close this year in the United States. In other words, the Friday Night Feasts will continue.
By Jessica Holzer, Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES
WASHINGTON -(Dow Jones)- Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. Chairman Sheila Bair believes up to 500 more banks could fail, a U.S. senator said Bair told him in a recent meeting.
"She told us that unless something dramatic happens, we could lose up to 500 more banks," Sen. Jim Bunning, R-Ky., said Thursday at a hearing of the Senate Banking Committee on the foreclosure crisis.
Bunning said Bair made the remarks in a recent meeting.
"That means that people who make mortgages in local places .... people that could really help in a foreclosure will not be there," Bunning said.

How I Prevented My Chronic Sore Throats! (One Man's Testimonial)
At one point, I was getting tonsillitis, sinusitis, strep throat and/or pharyngitis on a monthly basis. It would start with a post nasal drip and usually lead to a week or so of agony. One doctor even recommended that I get my tonsils removed. Another doctor commented a few years ago while I was being examined in the emergency room about the significant scarring in the back of my throat from all these sicknesses.
I finally said enough is enough and decided to figure out how to prevent these sore throats. That was in 2002! After many years of trials and errors, I have finally settled on a remedy that is currently working for me.
As of today, I have gone nearly two years without having any type of serious sore throat issue or having to take any prescription medicine.
Here is the personal sore throat prevention method that I currently use today.
1. Gargle With Hydrogen Peroxide Everyday. I usually gargle for 30-60 seconds making sure to hit the back of my throat. I do not swallow it, because non-food grade hydrogen has impurities that can make someone ill if ingested. I gargle more frequently (as many times as needed throughout a day) if I feel any slight tinge of throat pain.
2. Take Daily Doses of Either Vitamin C, Black Walnut Hulls, Grapeseed Extract, Elderberry and/or Oil of Oregano. I do not take each of these supplements everyday, but I do take at least one of these supplements everyday. I mix it up. For example, I may take one elderberry capsule and two Vitamin C capsules on Monday and then take one black walnut hull capsule on Tuesday.
3. Drink Filtered Water. I bought a Berkey filter with the fluoride and arsenic filters. I try to drink as much water as I can in a day, because I usually forget to stay properly hydrated. Water helps keep the sinus cavities from drying out and getting congested.
4. Use Simply Saline (Allergy & Sinus Relief) for Post-Nasal Drip & Congestion. Anytime I feel even the slightest possibility that I may be getting some post nasal drip or sinus congestion in my throat, I flood my nasal cavities with this saline solution several times throughout the day until the congestion is gone. It only contains water and salt. No drugs or preservatives. This is the only spray that has worked for me. All the other ones caused my nose to bleed.
5. Eat More Cayenne Pepper or Any Other Hot Pepper. I try to consume cayenne pepper any time I can. I have pepper capsules that I take from time to time as well as cayenne pepper powder.
This is my personal story, so I cannot say whether someone would experience similar results. All I know is that I no longer have the chronic sore throats that plagued me the first 30 or so years of my life.
Willie Herenton Blasts WDIA's Bobby O'Jay on Radio and Joe Birch on TV (W.W. Says His State of Mind is Real Good)!
After Bobby O'Jay questioned Willie Herenton's state of mind, Mayor Herenton didn't release a statement through some minion. No, Herenton called into the radio show himself and decided to set the record straight.
It is bad when you get owned on your own show and it appears that Mr. O'Jay was owned by the former Mayor and current mayoral/Congressional candidate. Brother O'Jay tried to throw some late bombs to save face, but it was too late.
Another classic tale of Memphis politics. My only question is where did Herenton call O'Jay from? Hopefully, he made the call on his celly while cruising the Memphis city streets. Man, that would make a great visual in a movie.
Listen to the Willie W. Herenton Heated Interview with WDIA's Bobby O'Jay by clicking anywhere on this sentence.
This morning, Herenton said he regularly listened to O’Jay’s show and that he could describe the radio host in unflattering terms if he wanted to.
“I could say you’re ignorant,” said Herenton. “I could simply say you have a short man’s syndrome, but I’m not going to get into that.”
O’Jay quickly fired back.
“I could say you’re acting ignorant, too. I could say you have a tall man’s syndrome,” O’Jay said. “You’re trying to bully me on my own show and I’m not going to let you do it.”

Colonial - Year's Biggest Bank Failure (FDIC Closes Five More Banks)
Colonial Bank also happens to be the biggest bank to fail this year with 346 branches in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Nevada and Texas. Please note that this below quoted story was released before Colonial was seized.
Colonial has more than $26 billion in assets. If it's shut down by the FDIC, it would be the largest bank failure so far this year, exceeding the collapse of Florida's BankUnited Financial (BKUNQ 0.30, -0.01, -1.64%) , which had less than $13 billion in assets. See full story.
I guess it should not be a surprise that Colonial was about to get the axe, because it was raided by federal authorities a couple of weeks ago.
There is only $13 billion left in the FDIC insurance fund as of March 31, 2009. How much money is in there right now considering the number of banks that have closed since March 31, 2009. When will the new insurance fund balance amounts be released? I would imagine that might be the trigger for the predicted August 26 bank holiday if the insurance fund cannot cover future failed banks. The signs are pointing to this possibility, because the FDIC expects to close 500 more banks this year. Nevertheless, the FDIC is still putting on the confident face saying that it has been able to cover all losses to date and that there is no need to worry.
Trust fund hit: The failure of Colonial is another blow to the FDIC trust fund, which has had to cover 77 bank failures so far in 2009 -- including four more late Friday.The fund took a $35.1 billion hit in 2008, and an additional $4.3 billion decline in the first quarter of this year, leaving it with assets of only $13 billion as of March 31. But most of last year's decline was due to $25 billion the agency set aside to cover future losses.
"The past 18 months have been a very trying period in the financial services arena," said FDIC Chairman Sheila Bair, in the Colonial failure release. "Our industry funded reserves have covered all losses to date. In fact, losses from today's failures are lower than had been projected.
Bank Name | City | State | CERT # | Closing Date | Updated Date |

Is Obama's Health Care Reform Constitutional?
I did not think about it, but where is the Constitutional authority for this proposed bill? I do not see anything in the Constitution discussing health care. Although Congress has gone beyond its authority in the past, this type of act does not convert an unconstitutional law into a Constitutional one. Fortunately, we have alternative media.
Lost in all the hysteria being pumped out by these wretched outlaws in Congress and the liars for hire in the MSM is the real question: Does Congress have any legal authority under Art. 1, Sec. 8, in the U.S. Constitution to legislate health care or treatment within the states of the Union? No.
Health care is not a "human right." It is not a constitutional right.
Go read Art. 1, Sec. 8 of the Constitution. No where is Congress authorized to set up, run or legislate in the area of medical care, health care or whatever you want to call it. None. I've been watching the videos of the town hall meetings. In a couple of them, Americans have stood up at the microphone and said the government has no right to legislate health care in this country. Get government out of our health care system! Excellent.

An Avalanche of Insider Stock Trading (Evidence of August Bank Holiday or Worse?)
Britain's Uber-bear is growling again. After predicting a torrid "relief rally" over the early summer, Bob Janjuah at Royal Bank of Scotland is advising clients to take profits in global equity and commodity markets and prepare for another storm as winter nears.
My gut tells me that something big is going to happen between now and October 1. My current report says that we are scheduled for a bank holiday on or about August 26 based on the news I have been able to review. Corporate insiders have been dumping stocks left and right over the last few weeks (see graph below). If the information is to believed, then it appears that the rats are abandoning ship.
What's the "message" of the market here? Over the last two weeks corporate insiders have dumped over $2.1 billion in stock vs. $73.1 million in buys. I'm not sure I've ever seen the ratio of insider sells vs. buys this skewed toward officers and directors looking for the exit door. Talk about the captain jumping into the lifeboat and speeding away before the ship sinks....
Given that the trailing, "as reported" price/earnings ratio is now 144, or substantially above the peak p/e ratio on the Nasdaq at the top of the tech bubble, what is the market trying to tell us?
Think about that when you call up your financial advisor or broker and tell him you want get out of the stock market.

The Return of Willie Herenton (Former Mayor Picks Up Petition To Run For Mayor Again!)
Citing dissatisfaction with the work of Mayor Pro Tem Myron Lowery, former Mayor Willie Herenton took a step toward regaining his old job today.
Less than two weeks after retiring as Memphis mayor, Herenton walked into the offices of the Shelby County Election Commission this morning and picked up a petition to run for the office again, election commission officials have just confirmed.
Herenton has not officially entered the race. He hasn't turned in the petition with the required number of signatures, 25. But he's now in possession of a petition to get into the race.

National Guard Drill at Maine High School to Prepare for Possible H1N1 "Swine" Flu Riots
Oxford Hills Comprehensive High School will be the site of a National Guard riot control drill Thursday morning to prepare in the event of a panic over distribution of serum to treat the swine flu.
The school on Route 26 at the Paris-Norway town line has been designated by state officials as a distribution site for the H1N1 flu vaccine. The drill is to prepare for a worst-case scenario should the serum have to be transported from Augusta and people rush to get it...
The drill will take place behind the school and will not affect the day-to-day activities within the school. Access to the school building will be available through the main entrance, Parker said.

Arizona Asserts States' Rights on Obama's Federal Health Care Reform!
Under Arizona's Health Care Freedom Act, which was passed by the state legislature this week [week of June 22, 2009], a voting initiative will be placed on the 2010 ballot that, if passed, will allow the state to opt out of any federal health care plan. Five other states -- Indiana, Minnesota, New Mexico, North Dakota and Wyoming -- are considering similar initiatives for their 2010 ballots.
"Our health care freedoms are very much at risk by health care reforms proposed in Washington, D.C.," said Arizona state Rep. Nancy Barto, the Republican legislator who sponsored the measure. "We needed to act as a state to protect our citizens and ensure that they will always be able to buy their own health care and not be forced into a plan they don't want."

U.S. Cap-and-Trade Legislation Could Potentially Ignite Global Trade War!
CLIMATE POLICY and trade policy are on a collision course. Last week, 10 Democratic senators sent a letter to President Obama demanding that cap-and-trade legislation include tariffs against dirty imports. Precisely such tariffs, aimed at countries that are not doing enough to cut their greenhouse gas emissions, were part of the climate legislation recently passed in the House. Proponents argue that the tariffs are needed to prevent the loss of US jobs and the shift of emissions-generating activities to other countries. Free trade advocates are horrified at the prospect, which they worry could violate global trade rules and spark an economic war.

Pakistan Nuclear Arsenal Thefts Foiled (Extremist Attacks on Secret Storage Sites Raise Security Doubts)!
However, I must research the backgrounds of this Maldon Institute that prepared this referenced report. For all I now, they may just be trying to drum up some business for Blackwater/Xe.
The Baltimore-based Maldon Institute, whose worldwide staff consists mostly of retired intelligence officers, and the Times of India's Washington-based foreign editor Chidanand Rajghatta both report attempted nuclear thefts that have been tracked by Shaun Gregory, a professor at Bradford University in Britain.
The first such attack against the nuclear-missile-storage facility was on Nov. 1, 2007, at Sargodha; the second, by a suicide bomber, occurred Dec. 10, 2007, against Pakistan's nuclear air base at Kamra; and the third, Aug. 20, 2008, and most alarming, was launched by several suicide bombers who blew up key entry points to a nuclear-weapons complex at the Wah Cantonment, long believed to be one of Pakistan's main nuclear-weapons assembly points, where warheads and launchers come together in a national emergency.

Iowa Property Owners Refuse to Leave Flood Plain (Potential Legal Battles with FEMA and Army Corp. of Engineers?)
I agree with the Iowa's peoples' decision to live where they choose. If a major earthquake hits Los Angeles, will the city be rebuilt or would the population simply be moved to other locations? If FEMA uses the same rationale that it is using in Iowa, then yes, it would try to relocate the population.
After one of the most expensive natural disasters in U.S. history, Cedar Rapids plans to turn a flood-prone strip of land next to the Cedar River into a 220-acre greenway. But a few stubborn homeowners and businesses are refusing to leave.
City officials say an important step in recovery from the June 2008 flood that submerged most of the downtown and caused about $6 billion in damage is moving houses out of areas most likely to flood again.

U.S. Air Force Monitors Facebook, Twitter, Myspace and Other Social Networking Sites
Also, let's not forget the story of Andrew Poole. The police raided his 30th birthday BBQ thinking it was a rave, because it was listed on Facebook. Therefore, you should think about what you post on these social networking sites. Otherwise, you may be tracked, traced and databased for future analysis.
Newly released documents reveal Tyndall Air Force base personnel are not only monitoring the skies for any military threat, they're also monitoring social networking sites on the internet.
Two years ago the air force created the Combat Information Cell to monitor public responses to Air Force operations.
The cell monitored social sites like Twitter and Facebook to monitor reaction about the highly criticized Air Force One flyover in New York.
The 9-11 attacks led to the creation of the Air and Space Operations Center, also known as the A.O.C. at Tyndall Air Force base.
Major Susan Romano, Director of Air Force Northern Public Affairs Said "We might be responding to threats airborne. Threats to the United States of America, and that's since 9-11 we've been doing that consistently. 24 hours a day, seven days a week.”
The A.O.C.'s Combat Information Cell uses social media sites like twitter as a tool.
"They're able to assess social media sites, as well as cull information from other organizations throughout the A.O.C. as well as throughout the Air Force and put together a synthesized message for the commander in order for him to make decisions and determinations as to how it affects our mission," added Romano.

German Health Expert Warns H1N1 "Swine" Flu Vaccine Will Contain Cancer Cells From Animals
Lung specialist Wolfgang Wodarg has said that there are many risks associated with the vaccine for the H1N1 virus.
He has grave reservations about the firm Novartis who are developing the vaccine and testing it in Germany...
The nutrient solution for the vaccine consists of cancerous cells from animals and "we do not know if there could be an allergic reaction".
But more importantly, some people fear that the risk of cancer could be increased by injecting the cells.

Salon: Obamacare Horror (Health Care Analysis Opinion Piece)
There is plenty of blame to go around. Obama's aggressive endorsement of a healthcare plan that does not even exist yet, except in five competing, fluctuating drafts, makes Washington seem like Cloud Cuckoo Land. The president is promoting the most colossal, brazen bait-and-switch operation since the Bush administration snookered the country into invading Iraq with apocalyptic visions of mushroom clouds over American cities.
You can keep your doctor; you can keep your insurance, if you're happy with it, Obama keeps assuring us in soothing, lullaby tones. Oh, really? And what if my doctor is not the one appointed by the new government medical boards for ruling on my access to tests and specialists? And what if my insurance company goes belly up because of undercutting by its government-bankrolled competitor? Face it: Virtually all nationalized health systems, neither nourished nor updated by profit-driven private investment, eventually lead to rationing.
Face it, when a left-leaning web page is going against Obama's health care (and rightfully so), then it does not bode well for this plan's future. Nevertheless, even if the plan passes, Obama's popularity may not recover.

Pentagon Wants to End Posse Comitatus By Posting 400,000 Military Personnel in the United States of America!
If this legislation is ever passed, then it will be the end of Posse Comitatus in this country. What has always separated this country from a banana republic is the fact we don't have the military operating in the city streets. Now, it appears that we will see the soldiers on the streets. I support our military, but I agree with Bruce Willis' character in Under Siege when he tells the government panel that the military should not be operating domestically.
This request has already occasioned a dispute with the nation’s governors. And it raises the prospect of U.S. military personnel patrolling the streets of the United States, in conflict with the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878.
In June, the U.S. Northern Command distributed a “Congressional Fact Sheet” entitled “Legislative Proposal for Activation of Federal Reserve Forces for Disasters.” That proposal would amend current law, thereby “authorizing the Secretary of Defense to order any unit or member of the Army Reserve, Air Force Reserve, Navy Reserve, and the Marine Corps Reserve, to active duty for a major disaster or emergency.”
Taken together, these reserve units would amount to “more than 379,000 military personnel in thousands of communities across the United States,” explained
Paul Stockton, Assistant Secretary of Defense for Homeland Defense and America’s Security Affairs, in a letter to the National Governors Association, dated July 20.
Who has the sole authority to declare an emergency or a major disaster in this country? If you said the President, then you are correct!
That section [5122 of title 42, US Code] gives the President the sole discretion to designate an event as an “emergency” or a “major disaster.” Both are “in the determination of the President” alone.

Kansas Speedway To Be Used As Possible H1N1 "Swine" Flu Staging Area? (Health Emergency Drill Held Today)
Keeping with this theme, the Kansas Speedway will likely serve as a staging area for the Kansas City area. The local authorities recently conducted a health emergency drill at the speedway to prepare the people. Is this more fear mongering over the H1N1 "swine" flu?
The Kansas Speedway could end up being used for more than just races. One day, it could be used as a staging area in the event of a health emergency, like H1N1.
Wednesday, the Public Health Department of the Unified Government of Kansas City, Kansas/Wyandotte County held an emergency drill at the speedway.
Volunteers set up shop at various stations on the speedway. Some distributed and collected Health History/Authorization forms. Others passed out fake medication.
Public health officials say the speedway has potential because it is close to the highway and it is large enough to cater to mass amounts of people quickly.
Luckily, there is no mention of mass mandatory vaccinations.

Advocates Push to Add Toxic Fluoride to San Jose Water Supply
Putting fluoride in the water is a forced medication. Why is there medicine in the water? What are they going to put in the water next? Viagra?
I stopped drinking tap water here in Los Angeles last year to avoid the hundreds of chemicals that are commonly found in the water, and there is a noticeable difference in the quality and the taste. I would advise any San Jose residents to fight this proposal 100%.
In a push toward better dental health in the valley, advocates have launched a campaign to raise the millions needed to upgrade the city's water infrastructure. Given the controversy that typically surrounds fluoridation efforts, they expect progress to be slow...
About 70 percent of community water systems in the United States are treated with fluoride, recognized by international health experts as a key method in preventing tooth decay, particularly among children. In California, only 30 percent of water systems are fluoridated, Duchon said, partly because of the state's highly complex water systems.
San Jose's system, for instance, includes more than 100 wells at almost 30 sites. So the water company has been reluctant to take on the task and find the money for it.
"The health question is not really in our purview," said company spokesman John Tang. "We need to better define what technology is out there to help us fluoridate the water in the most cost-effective way."
My recommendation. Don't drink the tap water. If you don't believe me, look at the back of your fluoride toothpaste. It says to call poison control if swallowed. This is due to the fluoride in the toothpaste. If it is poisonous to swallow fluoride toothpaste, then why in the world would you want to ingest fluoridated water?

Georgia Rep. Paul Broun Says Obamacare is a "Rotten Fish" and Democrats Might Use H1N1 "Swine" Flu as Excuse To Impose Martial Law
If I didn't know any better, I would swear that I was criticizing the George W. Bush administration, because Obama has the exact same policies. Where is the "Change We Can Believe In?" It was probably just campaign hype to get people to vote for Obama and now that Obama has the seat, it is his job to lead the globalist agenda into the endzone.
Many people feel that the globalists have now entered this final stage and are ready to go for broke, including Georgia Representative Paul Broun. He believes that the "swine" flu hype is just an excuse for the government to implement martial law.
U.S. Rep. Paul Broun, R-Athens, walked into a North Georgia Technical College auditorium Tuesday evening to a standing ovation, holding three thick white binders.
"Folks, this is Obamacare," he said, holding the binders over his head.
"Let me start this by telling you what I think of this bill and (President) Obama," he said, and slammed the binders on the ground.
With that, Broun set the tone for a town hall meeting on health care reform. The Democrats' proposal is too expensive and will threaten millions of Georgians' jobs and lives, he said.
"This is a stinking, rotten fish, and they don't want you to smell it, and they want to shove it down your throat and make you eat it before you smell how rotten and stinky it is," he said...
He also spoke of a "socialistic elite" - Obama, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid - who might use a pandemic disease or natural disaster as an excuse to declare martial law.

Diarrhea Epidemic in Jajarkot Kills 365 (Cholera Outbreak Hits 60,000)!
KATHMANDU, Aug 11: The Unified CPN (Maoist) has demanded that the government declare health emergency in Jajarkot district hit by diarrhea epidemic.
Contradicting the government figures for death toll from the outbreak, the Maoist party also claimed that 365 people have already died of cholera, and the situation in the district is much more serious than reported by the government. The Ministry of Health has put the total death toll at 264 by Monday.
“Over 365 people have died of the outbreak, while 60,000 have fallen ill,” said Maoist leader Giriraj Mani Pokharel at a press meet in Kathmandu on Tuesday. “We are yet to collect the complete data as the disease has spread in the remote hill districts,” said Pokharel. But the Ministry of Health has dismissed the Maoist data. “The government should disseminate true information,” said Dr Sudha Sharma, acting secretary at the Ministry of Health, adding that the Maoists might have counted also those who died of other diseases.
The party has also demanded that the government provide drinking water and food in the disease-hit regions. Under its Integrated Public Heath Campaign, the Maoist party has mobilized health volunteers in Jajarkot, Rukum, Dolpa and Kalikot.

We're trying to work with them to ensure minimal impact to the API, but in the near term there may be issues with OAuth and the Streaming API. This is a bit of a juggling act, as we're trying to coordinate our team, the operations team, our service provider's staff, and specialists that they've brought in for this issue. Please bear with us.

Hugo Chavez Warns of War in South America
Speaking in Quito at a regional summit, Mr Chavez said he was fulfilling his "moral duty" by telling fellow leaders that the "winds of war were beginning to blow," because of the July accord between Bogota and Washington.
"This could generate a war in South America," he told the Union of South American Nations (UNASUR).

Did Hitler Shake Jesse Owens' Hand at 1936 Olympics?
I hate Hitler's regime and the crimes it committed, but I also hate incorrect history and propaganda especially when they relate to a story that has widespread acceptance. A few years ago I recall hearing a story that this alleged history was incorrect and in fact Hitler shook Jesse's hand afterward. Allegedly, Jesse recalled it as one of proudest moments and he wanted history to reflect that Hitler did not diss him as is commonly reported.
I do not remember where I first heard the story, but now it is being reported by a mainstream media outlet that Hitler did shake Jesse Owens' hand. Nevertheless even if Hitler shook Owens' hand, the act does not diminish Hitler's evil crimes and terrible legacy.
At the time, it was reported that Hitler had stormed out of the stadium furious that Owens, who had just run his way to the first of four gold medals...However, Siegfried Mischner, 83, said that Owens carried around a photograph in his wallet of Hitler shaking his hand before he left the stadium...Owens, who felt the newspapers of the day reported "unfairly" on Hitler's attitude towards him, tried to get Mischner and his journalist colleagues to change the accepted version of history in the 1960s...Mischner, who was a reporter at the time, claimed Owens showed him the photograph and told him: "That was one of my most beautiful moments."
It makes me wonder what other famous stories are not necessarily true!

Interview - Gun Packing Man at Obama Town Hall (Mainstream Media Operation to Demonize Second Amendment?)
Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy
Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy
An interview with William Kostric on Hardball With Chris Matthews is posted above. Apparently, Mr. Kostric is involved with the Free State Project. The alleged law enforcement earpiece is supposedly for a patriot radio network broadcast. This is quite an impressive interview by Mr. Kostric. Will the media use Mr. Kostric for the globalists' purposes?
“The Free State Project is an agreement among 20,000 pro-liberty activists to move to New Hampshire, where they will exert the fullest practical effort toward the creation of a society in which the maximum role of government is the protection of life, liberty, and property,” the Free State Project website explains.
Lawless explains on Franchi’s Facebook page that the earpiece is in fact hardware for a patriot radio network. “I know the guy,” Lawless writes. “There were 4 others also wearing earpieces. They do that to call each other in case of a problem. We also have something called PORC 411 here in NH.”
***UPDATE1***
More on the man with the gun... William Kostric is a married man in his mid 30S who works in sales. He says he moved here to New Hampshire from Arizona about a year ago, because it's a "live free or die" state -- and he thought Arizona was becoming too restrictive with its gun laws.
He's passing out a bookmark that says, "Join the Second Amendment Revolution, the most exciting pro-liberty movement in over 200 years."
He's a Ron Paul supporter, who opposes just about everything Obama, including health care reform.
The local police say he is within his rights to carry a handgun openly under state law. He was carrying a 9-mm Smith and Wesson strapped to his lower leg.
***ORIGINAL STORY****
What is up with this guy's earpiece? I do not think he is listening to the latest iPhone tunes. Why does this guy looks like some type of provocateur or rogue agent trying to cause some chaos?
The more I look at it, the more he seems like an obvious plant, so the talking heads on MSNBC will be able to talk about how these town hall protesters are dangerous. It will definitely fill the airwaves this evening on the various shows.
Let's see why I think he is a plant.
1. He is openly carrying a gun. I know there is the 2nd Amendment and people have an open carry right in New Hampshire, but I guarantee that if a true protester carried a gun, he would be beaten and tasered. The "Don't Tase Me, Bro" guy was tasered for simply asking a question to a Senator and this guy can bring a gun to the President. Give me a break! The powers-that-be don't carry about the Constitution. Therefore, this guy is there with someone's permission.
2. He has a very generic poster that incorporates a popular slogan and the Gadsden Flag. If I didn't know anything about the patriot truth movement and I was trying to blend in with everyone else by including the proper catch phrases and logos, I would make the banner that this guy is carrying in Picture #2 above. I wonder what it says underneath his Tree of Liberty poster, because there appears to be something else written.
3. As I said before, this guy is wearing an earpiece. Why is he wearing one? The iPhone headsets don't look like the ones this guy is wearing. The only people I see with those types of earpieces usually work for federal authorities.

Hillary Wants to Be a "Joker" Too! (Hillary Blasts Student in Congo Over Bill Clinton Question)
There is no way she would be able to campaign and maintain her duties as Secretary of State, so if she resigns after the 2010 midterm elections, then we will know that Hillary is planning for Round 2 against Obama in the 2012 Democratic primary.
I have no idea whose copyright this Hillary Joker image is, so if you are the verified owner and want me to take this down, please send me a note.
C-SPAN Callers Say Town Hall Protest Movement is Organic! (Ending the Left-Right Paradigm?)
Manu Raju talked about activities in Congress. Topics included the protesters attending town hall meetings being held during the August recess. The Senate sergeant of arms warned senators and staff to be ready for flaring tempers during August recess. The main item in contention is the health care legislation. Other topics included the resignation of Senator Mel Martinez (R-FL) and the impact on the Florida Senate race. Mr. Raju responded to telephone calls and electronic communications.
I would recommend the following sections of the video:
1. 13:30 -- The caller specific mentions "eugenics" and President Obama's science czar John Holdren. I wonder if she read "Ecoscience."
2. 18:45 -- This caller (Jerry) basically implies that a Civil War 2: The Return of the South is brewing in the streets and the South is at fault. The influx of illegal immigrants and the lack of labor unions has led to a 21st century slavery in the South. Ironically, the caller is calling from Atlanta, Georgia.
3. 20:40 -- I agree with the caller from Plainville, New York who says that the mainstream media never discusses any facts or figures in connection with the health care reform bill, only generalities. Basically, the mainstream media never evaluates the bill specifically, so the bill cannot objectively analyzed to determine whether it should be supported or rejected.
4. 25:34 -- Leah from Manchester, New Hampshire wins the caller of the month award! Here is a woman who has never been involved politically until recently. She is upset that the media characterizes her and many others as a "hired mob." She believes the movement is organic and the Republican party is too inept to organize such a gathering. People are mad!
