A virus or seismic oil exploration are being examined as possible causes
BBC/The government of Peru is investigating the deaths of more than 500 pelicans along a 70km (40-mile) stretch of the country's northern coast.
Officials say most appeared to have died on shore over the past few days.
Scientists have also found the carcasses of 54 boobies, several sea lions and a turtle.
They were found in the same region where some 800 dolphins washed ashore earlier this year. The cause of their death is still being investigated.
The Peruvian government said it was "deeply worried".
A preliminary report said that there was no evidence to show the pelicans had died at sea, but rather on the beach where they were found.

But it said further tests would be needed to establish the cause of death.
The Peruvian Maritime Institute (Imarpe) said so far 538 dead pelicans and 54 boobies had been found in various stages of decomposition, although most appeared to have died recently.
In addition, five badly decomposed sea lions and a turtle carcass had been found on shore, Imarpe said.
Local media reports suggest more than 1,200 dead pelicans have been found in the Piura and Lambayeque regions.
Between January and April of this year, some 800 dead dolphins washed ashore in Lambayeque, according to government figures.
Peru's Deputy Minister for Natural Resource Development, Gabriel Quijandria Acosta, said a virus might have killed the dolphins.
A viral epidemic outbreak was linked to similar deaths of marine wildlife in Peru in the past, as well as in Mexico and the United States.
Analysis on the dolphins so far suggested they had contracted a morbillivirus, which belongs to the same group as the measles virus in humans, Stefan Austermuehle of a local NGO, Mundo Azul, told the BBC.
"We know that in other cases in the United States up to 50% of populations were killed by the virus," he said.
"What we also know...is that in previous cases animals that have higher loads of pollutants in their body will fall easier victims to these kind of diseases because their immune system is weakened."
Imarpe scientists said results of tests carried out on the dead dolphins would be released in the coming days.
 

Caribbean again put on tsunami watch

Caribbean again put on tsunami watch


JamaicanObserver/(CMC)A leading expert at the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) is urging the Caribbean's 40 million people to be prepared for a tsunami, two years ahead of a planned early warning system for the region.
Wendy Watson-Wright, assistant director-general and executive secretary of the UNESCO-Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission, has agreed with other leading tsunami experts that it is a case of "when, not if" the region would be struck by the giant waves triggered by earthquakes and volcanic activity, Watson-Wright noted.
"Lurking beneath the azure waters that wash up on countless coastal and island beaches and vacation spots is the potential for a devastating tsunami," she said.
In addition to the 40 million people living in the region, she said 22 million people visit the Caribbean annually, making the region "extremely vulnerable to the impacts of tsunamis".
Since 1498 there have been at least 94 tsunamis with run-ups reported in the Caribbean region, causing 4,652 deaths, Watson-Wright said.
She said most of these tsunamis were associated with underwater, or what are called submarine earthquakes, although the Caribbean Sea region has all of the potential tsunami-generating sources, such as submarine earthquakes, sub-aerial or submarine landslides and volcano activity.
Scientists and disaster management officials have said that models predict a tsunami wiping out vast areas in several island nations where most people live in around capitals and low-lying coastal areas.
"Sound science-based tsunami inundation modelling has been performed for all of Puerto Rico and several localities in the French Antilles and Venezuela, which demonstrates real tsunami threats for this region," the UNESCO expert said.
She said the Indian Ocean Tsunami Early Warning System -- coordinated through UNESCO-IOC -- saved lives in that region following an 8.6-magnitude earthquake off northern Indonesia.
"Largely due to education programmes, Indonesians living in coastal communities were able to mobilise and safely move to higher ground. As soon as the threat of a tsunami had passed, the all clear was sounded," Watson-Wright said in a statement here.
Despite the withdrawal of the United States from the UN body, which threatened to delay the introduction of an early warning system for the Caribbean, "emergency funds" were diverted to the project which is expected to be completed by 2014.
"We expect the system to be in place by 2014, with the US having adopted a phased approach to establish a Caribbean Tsunami Warning Centre located in Puerto Rico," she said.
Watson-Wright said that the installation of the Tsunami Early Warning System for the Caribbean was largely supported by the United States, among other countries, but lamented that following the vote of the General Conference to admit Palestine as a full member to UNESCO, "all funds were cut in adherence to US law.
"The loss would have seriously delayed this important project," she said.
Realising this, Watson-Wright said UNESCO Director General Irina Bokova assigned emergency funds to the Tsunami Early Warning System for the Caribbean earlier this year, "keeping us on track for our work."
But the UNESCO official said the absence of the Caribbean early warning system does not mean the region is unprotected, as it is covered on an interim basis by the Hawaii-based Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre.
Once implemented, she said the system in the Caribbean will enhance "our ability to evaluate data and ensure that timely information is passed on to authorities and most importantly the public, for the safety and security of all in the region".
The Indian Ocean tsunami of December 26, 2004 was one of the deadliest natural disasters in history, killing 230,000 people in 14 countries, mostly in Indonesia. Several coastal communities were inundated with waves as high as 30 metres (98 feet).

PrensaLatin/Managua, Apr 29 (Prensa Latina) Nicaraguan Experts reported Sunday more seismic activity at Masaya volcano, about 20 kilometers south of Managua, with an increase in expulsions of sulfur gases, which keeps the disaster warning system in high alert.

According to the report, a crack in the main crater causes higher emissions and a sound similar to a jet engine.

Specialists of the National System for Prevention, Mitigation and Attention to Disasters (SINAPRED) and the Nicaraguan Institute of Territorial Studies (INETER), told the press that they detected this unusual behavior several days ago, but for now there is no reason for alarm.

The INETER geophysics director, Angelica Munoz, told the site El 19 Digital they monitor Masayaâ�Ös situation closely because of rising emissions and temperature above the normal range.

Technical teams assess the seismic tremor, but there is no emergency declared and the gates of Masaya Volcano National Park remain open to the public, said the director of INETER, Jorge Castro, and the executive secretary of SINAPRED, Guillermo Gonzalez.

More than 90 people have been wounded as unidentified assailants attacked protesters in Cairo who called for an end to military rule. Police and army troops chose not to interfere. Some reports say a number of people have died in the violence.
Dr Mohamed Fatouh, the head of the Association of Tahrir Doctors, which has treated the injured near the site of the clashes, told reporters that four people were killed and at least 70 injured. The Egyptian Health Ministry confirmed a large amount of wounded people have been admitted to hospitals across Cairo, but denied any reports of casualties.
The clashes broke out late on Saturday, when unknown assailants attacked tens of protesters who had been staging a sit-in since late Friday at the Ministry of Defense near Abbasiya Square in Cairo. Both sides used rocks, firebombs and empty bottles. Neither army troops nor police attempted to stop the three-hour street battle, witnesses said.
Presidential hopeful Abdel-Moneim Abul-Fotouh used his official twitter account to condemn the state's reluctance to protect protesters.

Jellyfish-Like Organisms Shut Down California Power Plant

Jellyfish-Like Organisms Shut Down California Power Plant

ABCNews/The workers of the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant received a very slimy surprise this week when they discovered hoards of jellyfish-like creatures clinging to the structure, leading to the shutdown of the plant.
The organisms, called salp, are small sea creatures with a consistency  similar to jellyfish.
The influx of salp was discovered as part of the plant’s routine monitoring system, according to Tom Cuddy, the senior manager of external and nuclear communications for the plant’s operator, Pacific Gas & Electric.
“We then made the conservative decision to ramp down the affected unit to 20 percent and continued to monitor the situation,” Cuddy said. “When the problem continued, we made another conservative decision that it would be safest to curtail the power of the unit.”
The salp were clogging the traveling screens in the intake structure, which are meant to keep marine life out and to keep the unit cool.
“Safety is the highest priority,” Cuddy said. “We will not restart the unit until the salp moves on and conditions improve. No priority is more important than the safe operation of our facility.”
The plant consists of two units. Unit 1 was shut down previously because of refueling and maintenance work and will not be functional for several weeks. Now that Unit 2 has been shut down because of the influx of salp, the plant has ceased all production.
Even with the Diablo Canyon plant out of commission, PG&E has pledged to continue production using other sources of power so that customers are unaffected by the closure.
“We’ve had salp cling to the intake structure before, but nothing to this extent,” Cuddy said.
The plant’s strategy? Simply wait until the salp move on and resume production once the filters are clear.
 

State officials shut down shrimping in Gulf amid scientists finding deformities and ‘horrifying creatures’ — Media attributes closure to lesions, then retracts

State officials shut down shrimping in Gulf amid scientists finding deformities and ‘horrifying creatures’ — Media attributes closure to lesions, then retracts

Enenews/Alarmed by widespread reports of visibly sick, deformed seafood coming out of the Gulf of Mexico, state officials have closed area waters to shrimping this morning (April 23). The waters will be closed indefinitely as scientists run tests in an effort to get a handle on a situation that is fast becoming a full-blown crisis on the Gulf Coast.
The closures – including all waters in the Mississippi Sound, Mobile Bay, areas of Bon Secour, Wolf Bay and Little Lagoon – mark the first official step in responding to increasingly urgent reports from fishermen and scientists of grotesquely disfigured seafood from Louisiana to the Florida panhandle.
[...] I am deeply saddened but not surprised by the shrimping closures. I applaud the courageous move by state officials to put consumer safety first. There’s no doubt in my mind – as I’ve said for months on end – that seafood coming out of the Gulf of Mexico is unfit for human consumption. [...]
Title: Waters Closed to Shrimping

Date: Wednesday, April 25 2012, 12:05 PM CDT
The Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources has temporarily closed some local waterways to shrimping [...] in the Mississippi Sound, Mobile Bay, areas of Bon Secour, Wolf Bay, and Little Lagoon.
The closure is in response to routine shrimp sampling that indicated the average size were smaller than 68 head-on shrimp per pound. [...]
And we’d like to clarify that the closures were not due to lesions being found on shrimp as we reported earlier this weekend and Monday morning.
PREVIOUS REPORT: Area waters close to shrimping, April 21: [...] The closure comes after scientists found smaller than average shrimp and lesions. They say the plan to test the water and will continue to run samples until the waters are re-opened. There is no set time when the waters will be open for shrimping again.

Date: April 24, 2012
[...] fishermen and scientists have found horrifying creatures in the Gulf of Mexico…including blue crabs without claws, shrimp without eyes and fish with lesions. [...]
And it’s not just deformities that has researchers worried. It’s also the drastic decline in sea life populations, and that decline’s impact on the food chain.
In the continental United States, more than 40 percent of seafood is caught in the Gulf, making the levels of mutations in the region’s sea life a major cause for concern.
So does this mean that humans should stop consuming seafood caught in the Gulf? Well, the answer remains unclear. [...]
But here is what one fisherman says…”We’re continuing to pull up oil in our nets. People who live here know better than to swim in or eat what comes out of our waters.”

Cispa approved by House but critics urge Senate to block 'horrible' bill

Cispa approved by House but critics urge Senate to block 'horrible' bill

Free speech groups say the bill – which Obama has vowed to veto – hands US authorities too much power to use private data

Free speech advocates are calling for the Senate to block controversial cybersecurity legislation they claim will give the US authorities unprecedented access to online communications.
The House of Representatives on Thursday ignored the threat of a White House veto to pass the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (Cispa). The bill aims to make it easier for companies to share information collected on the internet with the federal government in order to help prevent electronic attacks from cybercriminals, foreign governments and terrorists.
Sponsors of the bill have made several amendments to Cispa in the past week, but critics say the bill still threatens to overrule existing privacy protections for citizens, and hands the National Security Agency too much power to access and use people's private information.

The Center for Democracy and Technology said it was "disappointed that Cispa passed the House in such flawed form and under such a flawed process."

"We worked very hard in co-operation with the intelligence committee to develop amendments to narrow some of the bill's definitions and to limit its scope. We are very pleased that those amendments were adopted, leaving the bill better for privacy and civil liberties than it was going into the process," the tech group said.
"However, we are also disappointed that House leadership chose to block amendments on two core issues we had long identified – the flow of information from the private sector directly to NSA and the use of that information for national security purposes unrelated to cybersecurity."
"Cispa goes too far for little reason," said Michelle Richardson, ACLU legislative counsel. "Cybersecurity does not have to mean abdication of Americans' online privacy. As we've seen repeatedly, once the government gets expansive national security authorities, there's no going back. We encourage the Senate to let this horrible bill fade into obscurity."
Richardson said senior figures including Adam Schiff of the House intelligence committee, Anna Eshoo, on the subcommittee on communications and technology, plus 28 congressional Republicans had voted against the bill.
"We are disappointed that it got this far but we remain optimistic that this bill can be killed," Richardson said. She said the big danger now was that a compromise would be drawn up which could still endanger civil liberties online.
Earlier this week the Obama administration said it would veto the bill unless major amendments were made. Obama's Office of Management and Budget said the administration was "committed to increasing public-private sharing of information about cybersecurity threats" but said the process "must be conducted in a manner that preserves Americans' privacy, data confidentiality, and civil liberties and recognizes the civilian nature of cyberspace."
"Citizens have a right to know that corporations will be held legally accountable for failing to safeguard personal information adequately," the OMB said.
On Thursday night the bill's author, Republican Mike Rogers, chairman of the House intelligence committee, defended it. "This is the last bastion of things we need to do to protect this country," he said.
The bill received broad support from the tech industry – which has been granted immunity from prosecution when it shares its customers information under Cispa.
Companies including SAIC, a huge defence contractor, Lockheed Martin, AT&T and Time Warner Cable have lobbied for the bill and contributed funds to the political action committee of Mike Rogers, the bill's sponsor.
According to opensecrets.org, Rogers' Pac received $103,000 in this election cycle from 12 companies that have lobbied for Cispa.
Cybersecurity experts said that the threat the bill aims to tackle is serious, but that better compliance with existing rules was at least as important as new legislation.
Tony Busseri, chief executive officer of Route1, a cybersecurity firm that counts the US navy and department of homeland security among its clients, said the threat of cybersecurity was "massive" especially with the proliferation of tablet computing and mobile devices that meant more and more sensitive information was moving outside the office.
"It's about managing vulnerabilities," he said. "Candidly we don't apply the rules and regulations that are already there to protect us. The risk here is that we end up politicizing this issue."

A MESSAGE FROM EGYPT:

A MESSAGE FROM EGYPT:

Hurry Up! Rescue Egypt from Terrorist Attacks and Planned War!
The CIA- MI6- Mossad Devil Plan against Egypt!
Seven Facts about what is planned against Lovely Egypt and Kind Egyptians!

Here are the facts and the truth about what is happening against Egypt, away from the deception promoted through Masonic, Zionist channels and their branches.

First; Mubarak was a good president, who saved Egypt over 30 years from all devil plans made now. Mubarak was a pilot, then a Military hero who brought victory for Egypt in 1973 against Israeli and threw them away from Saini and constructed Saini.
That is why Israeli politicians, who are all military too, hate him so much and blame him for losing Saini, which they consider as apart of Great Israel. Mubarak was never violent or dictator and Egyptians enjoyed the greatest freedom and liberty during his ruling years. Mubarak also was a wise man, who saved Egypt from many disasters and wars that were intended to drag Egypt, and he also resisted the hundred trials made by Israel and its helpers to drag Egypt into war with Israel, which made Israeli leaders lose their temper and start media campaigns against him using the Qatari channel; Al jazeera , funded and directed by Zionists and Iranian Billionaires to fabricate rumors against Mubarak and his regime and through agents in the Egyptian media , who became Shea Muslims, belonging to Khameani Iranian Shea. In addition, Mubarak and his regime were able to cancel Egypt depts, make a strong economy, make good relations with other countries, end the terrorism from Egypt, keep the unity all over Egypt, keep good relations between Muslims and Coptics and maintain peace and stability, all these things were unforgivable mistakes in the eyes of Israel and Iran!

Second; Israel, USA and Britain , in addition to others, have the intention to make: A Third World War, New Middle East, New world Order, Great Israel , war on Egypt, war on Egyptian Military, war on Egyptian Air forces, collapse of Egyptian economy, buy or occupy Suez Canal, buy or occupy Sinai, divide Egypt into 5-6 pieces, like what they did in Sudan, collapse Egyptian Police and Egyptian Army and replace them with terrorist armed groups, like what they did in Iraq and other countries, to spread terrorists, like Al Qaeda, Muslim Brothers armed groups (Ikhwan), Hamas, Hezbollah, Shea Iranian Revolutionary guards, Socialists, Anarchists, Ultras Hooligans, 6 April activists, Snipers of Black Water (Xa), Malta Knights, Mossad spies , Muslim Radicalists and others!

Third: All these destructive and terrorist groups are funded, directed, defended, protected, trained and sent by CIA, MI6 and Mossad! USA is meeting the radicalist groups (Muslim Brothers, Ikhwan, who created Al Qaeda groups, and one of their branches is Hamas of Gaza, which is Muslim Brothers branch in Palestine, and Al Zawaheri leader of Al Qaeda started his life in Ikhwan before he travels to Afghanistan, and Afghani Jihadists follow the radicalist books of Sheikh Sayed Qotb, whose books are full of terrorism and encouraging killing Governors, Police, Army, Christians and Non- Ikhwan Muslims).

Fourth: USA, then knows exactly the reality about Muslim Brothers, Shea of Iran , Shea of Egypt, Al Qaeda, Anarchists and other terrorists, and still is intending to support them to get rid of Mubarak and his regime and to destroy Egypt with terrorism, religious conflicts, war with Israel, killing of Millions of Egyptians, creating excuses to send Foreign troops to occupy Egypt, fabricate excuses for Israel to announce war against Egypt and to appear as a victim at the same time to get the support of all Zionist and Masonic forces of other countries against Egypt.

Fifth; So, USA, UK and Israel got rid of Mubarak because he was a man calling for peace, refusing another war and taking good care of Saini and Egypt. They wanted war, terrorism, instability and destruction, so they got rid of him after hundred trails that failed. They are helping all these groups to rule Egypt to create excuses for Israel USA , UK and NATO to interfere in Egypt. USA is admitting helping Muslim Brothers to rule Egypt, while at the same time Israel is threatening that if Muslim Brothers succeed to rule Egypt, Israel will announce war on Egypt to protect herself!
USA is helping Al Qaeda through Qatar and through snipers killing police and army to be able to spread terrorism in Egypt, so that USA announces war on Egypt under the name of War on Terror! USA is helping Iranian Shea terrorists of Khameani regime to spread Shea Followers in Egypt and all Arab Sunni countries, top create terrorism against Arab Sunni Egyptians, for the New middle East, in which all Arab Sunni countries will be destroyed, occupied and divided and only two big non Arab countries will be created: Great Israel and Great Shea Farsi Iran!

Sixth; So as CIA, MI6 and Mossad helped Khomaini to make a bloody revolution in Iran in 1979 and used Socialists to help him, which he killed after he became the governor of Iran. Then USA used Khomaini to kill Anwar El Sadat, the Egyptian President who made October 1973 victory on Israel and the Peace Contract in 1978. Then USA used Iran to destroy Iraq, then created Hamas and Hezbullah, who are following Khomaini and Khameani Shea of Iran to attack Palestine, Lebanon and Egypt under the deceptive name of Resistance against Israel. In January 25th, 2011, the Mossad, CIA, mi6 , Shea Iranian Revolutionary Guards , Hamas and Hezbollah worked together to get rid of Mubarak and after that, they worked together to spread violence, destruction, killing of Egyptian Police and Army, why? Because there are big deals among them to occupy Egypt, Saini, Suez Canal and the whole region and divide it between Great Israel from Nile to Forates and Great Shea Farsi Iran in Gulf countries and parts of other Arab countries! For this to occur, they had to get rid of Mubarak and Arab Sunni leaders, spread Creative Mess, terrorism, media deception, Shea followers, destruction, and to create excuses to make reoccupation and wars.

Last; Egypt was a promising country in the era of Mubarak. Mubarak was a great leader. Enemies of Egypt who had invasive plans against Egypt gathered together and deceived innocent and ignorant people of Egypt and of the World. Qatar played a big rule because Sheikh Hamad is dreaming to be the Khalifa of all Arab Muslims, that will be a Puppet in CIA hands and who will welcome the foreign troops and will divide the region for the New Middle East and New World Order. What is more interesting is that because CIA, MI6 and Mossad liked so much their faithful Islamic groups who kill Arabs and destroy their countries under their orders, they are encouraging the formation of Egyptian Hezbullah Shea Party, led by Elbaradei, Egyptian Hezbollah Sunni Party, led by Hazem Abu Ismail (Ikhwani working for El Zawaheri of Al Qaeda), Muslim Brothers Freedom and Justice Party, in addition to socialists, liberals, ect…). These all are under the protection of Human Rights Organizations and Non Governmental Organizations , funded by Globalists George Soros and his fellows, and they are funded, armed and supported against Egyptian Police and Army, who are threatened to be punished by NATO, like what happened in Libya, if they prevented them from making their terrorism made under the name of Democracy!!!!! Israel is surrounding Egypt now from all directions and is also planning to cut River Nile to kill Egyptians , through Israeli rule in South Sudan and Ethiopia. They are also destroying all great projects in Egypt by hiring terrorists to burn and destroy them! From all these facts, do you recognize now the real terrorists and their Devil plans against Egypt and Egyptians?!!!!

Now you know all the facts! So, what are you going to do to stop all this?!!!!

President Obama: ‘encouraging’/planning to tax into oblivion start-up businesses.

President Obama: ‘encouraging’/planning to tax into oblivion start-up businesses.

RS/Never mind the fact that Obama got yogurt splashed on him last night – that’s just an ongoing hazard of being a politician running for re-election in this country. The real story here is this: the President went to Colorado to, essentially, lie to a bunch of kids about how they can get themselves out of this mess that they’re in. And it is a mess. 50% of college graduates are unemployed/underemployed; couple that with student loan debt levels that should really be frightening more people and we end up with a situation where millions of kids are getting out of college and staring DOOM right in the face. And while they are adults – and thus, responsible for their own fates – guess what? The people that connived to put them in this mess are adults, too. We expect twenty-somethings in this culture to make poor life choices, sometimes; what we don’t expect is for the generations above them to so ruthlessly take advantage of that.
Anyway: Obama’s answer in Colorado, last night? …Entrepreneurship. That’s what he was telling the kids. Start that restaurant! Develop that smartphone app! Make your own destiny! Get slammed with a tax hike on small businesses in the form of tighter restrictions on payroll tax exemptions!
…Yeah. One of these things is not like the others.

For the morbidly curious, here’s the situation: there’s a bill in Congress that would freeze student loan rates. It’s stalling because, well, that’s going to cost us $5.9 billion and the money’s got to come from somewhere. So the N-dimensional geniuses over at the White House went to Congressional Democrats and found six billion worth of pork to cut… Oh, I am quite the comedian! They’re Democrats: they never cut spending. No, what Obama and the rest of his merry crew did instead was come up with a plan to generate the revenue via increased restrictions for S Corporations re: eligibility for payroll tax exemptions.
If you’re wondering “So what?” …well, you’re probably not a small business owner: S-Corps are a common method by which small companies – mom-and-pop stores, individual professional workers, START-UP BUSINESSES – file their taxes. Essentially, S-Corps file as individuals – which is, by the way, why Obama’s proposed tax hike on $250K earners is actually a tax on many small business owners, despite the best efforts of his apologists to downplay that minor little detail. But never mind that right now; the point is, by making it harder for S-Corps to be exempt from payroll taxes President Obama is proposing an effective profits tax on them. You can argue whether that’s a good idea or not – it’s not – but if you are planning to hike tax rates on small businesses just starting out then basic etiquette suggests that you not also encourage people to start small businesses.
Because that’s a lie: you don’t want to encourage them. You just want to get some of their money to keep things going until after the election’s over.

Over 300,000 could lose Internet access by July: FBI

Over 300,000 could lose Internet access by July: FBI

AFP/The FBI warned Monday that more than 300,000 Internet users worldwide could lose their Web access starting in July following a multi-million-dollar scam.
But users can breathe a sigh of relief as a solution is just a few clicks away at dcwg.org, a website the FBI created so people could check whether they have been infected with malware and remove any malicious software.
Six Estonians were arrested on charges of fraud in November after a two-year FBI sting -- Operation Ghost Click -- into the group's practice of infecting computers around the world with their DNS Changer malware, which made the machines vulnerable to viruses. A Russian collaborator remains at large.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation estimates that up to 568,000 computers were infected with the malware, which redirected users to fraudulent websites. Investigators say the alleged swindlers made up to $14 million under the scam that involved online advertising.
"We replaced the bad service by a clean service so that way people's Internet access remained intact," FBI spokeswoman Jenny Shearer told AFP.
"But there's still a concern that there could be several hundreds of thousands of people in the US but also in EU and in India whose computer might be relying on the clean service," which was never intended as a permanent solution, she added.
Shearer said at least 300,000 people could still be affected.

Government Secretly Prepares To Evacuate Chicago During NATO Summit

Government Secretly Prepares To Evacuate Chicago During NATO Summit

“Standby shelters” readied for residents
Steve Watson & Paul Joseph Watson
Prisonplanet.com
April 26, 2012
A leaked directive issued to the Red Cross indicates that the federal government has prepared plans to evacuate Chicago during the NATO summit.
An email sent to Red Cross volunteers in the Milwaukee area notes that the NATO summit in May could “create unrest or another national security incident.”
“The American Red Cross in southeastern Wisconsin has been asked to place a number of shelters on standby in the event of evacuation of Chicago,” the email, which was leaked to CBS News, reads.
A spokesperson for the Red Cross Chapter told CBS “Our direction has come from the City of Chicago and the Secret Service”.
While the Secret Service has not commented on the news, officials at Chicago’s Office of Emergency Management and Communication have denied having anything to do with the directive.
Two weeks ago residents were startled by urban warfare drills conducted in downtown Chicago on the authority of the OMEC. Huge black hawk helicopters were seen flying low and in between buildings for hours. It now appears that these exercises may be linked to the secret preparations.
In addition, earlier this week a number of Chicago area residents revealed that they have been asked to leave their homes in preparation for major rioting.
The residents received letters from management that read:
“We are STRONGLY recommending that all residents find places to stay during the conference from May 18 through May 21.”
“In the event of a riot or the potential of one near the building, all access doors will be locked including the garage door,” the letter continues. “For everyone’s safety, we will be instructing anyone in the building to stay in his or her unit.”
The fact that, “The American Red Cross in southeastern Wisconsin has been asked to place a number of shelters on standby in the event of evacuation of Chicago,” dovetails with reports earlier this year that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) put out a request for contractors to construct temporary emergency camps inside the United States which can be ready for occupancy within a 72 hour time period and used to house emergency responders as well as “displaced citizens.”
The camps are primarily designed to house emergency responders, but will also be utilized to shelter “displaced citizens,” who will be “given the first opportunities for employment within the camp,” according to the solicitation. The camps will be able to service up to 2,000 people at one time.
Scenarios based around displaced citizens were also part of the 2010 Operation Vigilant Guard exercises in Chicago which featured Polish troops training with the Illinois National Guard.

28,613 Dead Fish in the Rocky River

28,613 Dead Fish in the Rocky River

dead-fish.jpg
Scene/The Ohio Division of Wildlife got a call on Sunday from a fisherman who told the agency they should probably come see the flood of fish carcasses in the Rocky River.
When they arrived, they discovered a waterway filled with dead aqua life. The fish kill is still under investigation. Today, the ODW announced the final death toll: 28,613 fish, along with other species.
But the process of counting the dead was merely the first step. The interesting part, in terms of going after whoever was responsible for whatever caused the mass deaths (that's about as specific as we can get right now), comes next.
Via the News-Herald:
“The investigators aren’t going back to the stream today because they believe they have all the data that they need,” said Jamey Graham, spokeswoman for the Wildlife Division’s District Three (Northeast Ohio) office in Akron. “They are now sorting the fish according to species and we should that information available soon.” The reason for the separation of the fish by species is so that the Wildlife Division can determine how much to charge in fines and restitution if and when the culprit is identified. The state has assigned a dollar figure for each fish species.

Joint U.S.-Russian anti-terror exercise stokes fears of martial law

Joint U.S.-Russian anti-terror exercise stokes fears of martial law

Infowars/Russian airborne troops are set to train how to target terrorists in America as part of a joint anti-terror drill with the United States which will take place in Fort Carson, Colorado at the end of next month.
“Airborne troops from Russia and the United States would hold joint anti-terror drills in the U.S. state of Colorado between May 24 and 31,” reports the Xinhua news agency, citing Russian Defense Ministry Col. Alexander Kucherenko. The story was also reported by Russian news outlet RIA Novosti.
The exercises, which will mark the first time the respective country’s two airborne forces have held joint drills on U.S. territory, will revolve around the the “reconnaissance of imaginary terrorists’ camp and a raid,” and will also involve evacuations of the troops by helicopter.
The Russian soldiers will also be given access to U.S. special service weapons at Fort Carson.
However, the Russian troops won’t just be confined to a U.S. military base – on May 27 they’ll be out in the local community attending a baseball game in Colorado Springs.
“This announcement comes at a time when Russia actually has troops working in cooperation with China,” points out Business Insider’s Eloise Lee, making reference to one of the largest ever Russian-Sino naval drills currently underway in the Yellow Sea.
Alex Jones has documented foreign troops being trained on U.S. soil to deal with “insurgents” since the late 1990′s as part of “urban warfare drills”.

Back in July 2010, our reporters covered the Operation Vigilant Guard exercises in Chicago which involved Polish troops training alongside U.S. National Guard troops in drills focused around raiding terrorists and drug dealers.
According to SFC Mark Ballard of the Illinois National Guard, the Polish forces were “integrating into some of the civil military units that are participating in this exercise” as part of Illinois’ partnership with the Republic of Poland, a relationship based around “integrative training” and blending military and civilian forces in the event of a national emergency, as well as making this process of integration with foreign troops more “visible”.
The exercises also involved volunteers from Boy Scouts of America, which was telling in light of a 2009 New York Times report which detailed how Homeland Security is training boy scouts to take on and disarm “disgruntled veterans” who are described as “terrorists”.
Fears that foreign troops would be used to carry out gun confiscations and incarcerate American citizens during a time of martial law have circulated for decades, concerns stoked by remarks such as the following quote from Henry Kissinger reportedly made at the 1991 Bilderberg conference in Evian, France.
“Today Americans would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order; tomorrow they will be grateful,” Kissinger stated.
The idea of foreign soldiers taking over America has often cropped up in television series and movies, most notably in the 1984 film Red Dawn, which depicted the United States being invaded by Soviet troops.
It is important to add that a story circulating which attempts to piggy-back off these confirmed drills in claiming that the U.S. has given Russian troops permission to “take and hold Denver airport” comes from a notorious disinformation source which routinely puts out bogus articles and as such should be completely disregarded as a hoax.

Major Confrontations in South China Sea as Desperate Cabal Tries to Steal Asian gold Deposits

Major Confrontations in South China Sea as Desperate Cabal Tries to Steal Asian gold Deposits

by Benjamin Fulford, April 23, 2012

AmericanKabuki/Reports from Philippino tribes-people and the White Dragon Society members indicate a major military stand-off is taking place in the South China Sea and the Philippines over control of historical gold deposits in the region. A fleet of 8 US war-ships is being confronted by a joint Chinese/Russian fleet in the region. The Chinese have publicly announced they are willing to go to war over this dispute. The US warships are linked to a mysterious Hong Kong based individual by the name of “Rosenberg” (first name not known), the CIA sources say. Rosenberg is believed to be seeking physical gold to seize on behalf of the Nazi/Sabbatean cabalist owners of the Federal Reserve Board, these sources say. In the Chinese government and Western corporate propaganda news this dispute is described as being a Chinese Philippine dispute over an area, blocked out on Google Earth, known as the Scarborough Shoal by the West and the Huangyan Islands by China.


This dispute is linked to the failed IMF and World Bank meetings that took place in Washington D.C. last week. It is also linked to an ongoing power struggle between the three factions in China, multiple sources say.

The US, or should we say, Nazi (national socialist Zionist) forces have been systematically searching bunkers and caves in the Philippines even as they look for sunken gold ships around the Huangyan Islands and in other areas, the sources say.

This is what an ASEAN White Dragon Society ally had to say to Neil Keenan on the subject:

Hello Neil. In PALAWAN, those that are LOCALs are now terrified, letters have gone to us all last week…Re – so CALLED “wardens” ( accredited officers _ who are US army “scouts” going round to do a census on all local residents and buildings, saying it’s for our own protection…this has never happened before, they are with sophisticated equipment…loading huge cargo like hanger CONTAINERs, all of army material !!!!!! they already have taken on 6 islands and are now off to JOLO ( SULU islands) due to IMF and Rebel tribe bandits.

There is definitely a WAR going to happen but what we are told is the ARMIES in / on the islands are for FUEL bases, ???? some of these ships are with FUEL/ something going on Neil it is same in Indonesia.

These reports come as Chinese and Russian fleets converge on the area for exercises that coincided with US announcements of joint Philippine/US maneuver in the same region.
Here is a US government propaganda report:

http://www.voanews.com/english/news/China-Sends-Second-Boat-to-Standoff-with-Philippines-148064665.html

Here is what the Chinese foreign minister had to say on the subject during an April 16th press conference:

Q: The Philippine Foreign Ministry reportedly said that a Philippine ship conducting archaeological studies in waters off the Huangyan Island was harassed by the Chinese side. How do you respond to that?

A: Currently the situation over the Huangyan Island has been eased thanks to the efforts made, and China and the Philippines are making further communication through diplomatic channels. According to relevant international conventions and Chinese laws, no organization or individual shall conduct such activities without the permission of the Chinese Government. China demands this archaeological ship to leave the waters off the Huangyan Island immediately.

The “archaeological ship,” has so far failed to locate the gold deposits it arrived to search for, CIA sources say. In any case, this battle by the cabalists to steal gold is actually a sign of desperation after their failure, despite multiple attempts, to gain legal rights to the 85% of humanity’s gold held by Asians. This gold grab is seen by many as last minute looting by cabal members hoping they will still be able to control the world with gold even as their fiat financial rule collapses. That is not going to happen.

This brings us to last week’s IMF and World Bank meetings in Washington. The Western propaganda media reports a “victory” by the IMF because it was able to get $430 billion worth of funding for Europe. Japan’s slave government, for example, handed over $60 billion in cabal money originally earmarked for post-tsunami reconstruction.

However, a look at the fine print reveals the BRICs nations have made their funding conditional on reform of IMF voting rights. As Brazil’s Finance Minister pointed out, at present the UK, which has a smaller economy than Brazil, has twice the IMF voting rights as Brazil.

The European nations are willing to increase BRICs voting shares in the IMF but the US is blocking it because it would then have to give up control of the World Bank. Certainly the European bond markets were not fooled by the announcements coming out of this meeting because Spanish bond yields actually rose after it.

In any case, both the IMF and the World Bank are increasingly irrelevant.

Think about it for a minute, the IMF, the so-called lender of last resort in the post war era, the group that once “bailed out” Russia, is running around with a begging bowl make it obvious to all this institution is no longer at the top of the international financial food chain.

The World Bank, for its part, lent out only $42 billion in new money in 2011, compared to a world GDP of roughly $75 trillion. They are a puny organization.

By contrast, the White Dragon Society is proposing the creation of a Long Term Infrastructure for Everybody (LIFE) planning agency with initial funding of $800 trillion. Of course at this level, numbers are meaningless.

The current rules allow the Japanese to leverage their $8 trillion in hard foreign exchange assets 100 times, meaning 800 trillion dollars or over $100,000 each for every man woman and child on earth (as a Japanese reader pointed out, I miscalculated in previous reports by saying that was available on 10 times leverage).

Even if you take the more conservative Basel 3 rules with over 10 times leverage, Japan can still legally make $10,000 available for every human, still plenty enough to end poverty and stop environmental destruction.

If this money is delivered in the form of things that really exist, such as roads, schools, nature preserves, consumer products etc., then there is no limit to how much new money is created other than reality.

Needless to say China, ASEAN, Brazil, Russia etc. can all make similar moves in harmony and parallel with Japanese efforts.

The cabalists, for their part, have been making a desperate push to ensure their survival. They have blocked all efforts to create new organizations such as LIFE within the existing US dollar and Euro based systems even as they refuse fundamental reform of their organizations such as the BIS, the UN, the World Bank, the IMF, the “World Court,” etc.

They also made a big push in China to convince leaders like Hu Jintao the White Dragon Society is a neo-colonialist organization controlled by the Rothschild family. The WDS has no Rothschild family members in its ranks and does not receive a penny from the Rothschilds or other cabal families like the Rockefellers and Bushes. It is dedicated to ending their terrorist misrule of the planet.

REPORT: Newt Gingrich Will Drop Out Of The Race Next Week

REPORT: Newt Gingrich Will Drop Out Of The Race Next Week

BusinessInsider/After suffering yet another routing in last night's Republican primaries., Newt Gingrich has finally decided to put an end to his quixotic presidential bid.
Sources tell Fox News that the former House Speaker plans on suspending his campaign one week from today.
Gingrich effectively conceded the race this morning, telling reporters that he knows "Romney will be the nominee." But he still plans on getting in one last campaign hurrah this week, with a multi-day swing through North Carolina that includes throwing the first pitch at a college baseball game, and of course, a visit to the state zoo.
In reality, Newt's campaign has been over for weeks. Apart from a home-state victory in Georgia on Super Tuesday, Gingrich has been on the downward slide since his South Carolina surprise in January

Fires blaze north of Omsk – Wildfire areas enlarge to 3,075 ha in Siberia

Wildfire areas enlarged three times in Siberia over the past 24 hours, according to ITAR-TAS news agency. Twenty nine outbreaks on a total area of 3,075 hectares were reported there on Tuesday morning. Seven of the outbreaks on 950.5 hectares are localized. There are 21 fires on 2,950.5 hectares in the Trans-Baikal Territory. Five fires on 930 hectares are localized. There are six large conflagrations on 2,201 hectares.

  • TheWatchers/Wildfire areas enlarged three times in Siberia over the past 24 hours, according to ITAR-TAS news agency. Twenty nine outbreaks on a total area of 3,075 hectares were reported there on Tuesday morning. Seven of the outbreaks on 950.5 hectares are localized. There are 21 fires on 2,950.5 hectares in the Trans-Baikal Territory. Five fires on 930 hectares are localized. There are six large conflagrations on 2,201 hectares. Seven fires swept 103 hectares in the Novosibirsk Region. There is one outbreak on 20 hectares in Tuva. It is localized. About 200 wildfires break out each day in Russia. In an unusual case, officials recently fined a man 581 million rubles—$19.6 million—for discarding a cigarette and starting a fire that burned 2,000 hectares in 2009.
April usually brings a sharp increase in fire activity throughout Central Asia, as farmers begin to prep their fields for the coming season. This year is no exception. Many of the fires appear to be on burning on farmland and were likely started by grain farmers. The area around Omsk is one of the most productive agricultural regions in Russia; some of the main crops include wheat, rye, barley, and oats. Growers often burn debris from the previous year’s crop before replanting in order to clear the land and fertilize the soil.
Officially, both Russia and Kazakhstan prohibit farmers from burning their fields, but each spring satellites detect large numbers of agricultural fires nonetheless. Scientists can use satellites to distinguish between agricultural and wildfires because in addition to occurring on croplands, agricultural fires tend not to be as bright or long-lasting.
Thousands of hectares were burning when the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instrument on NASA’s Aqua satellite captured this image of fires in a rural area north of Omsk, a city in south central Russia near the Kazakhstan border. Fields and grasslands appear brown; red outlines mark the locations of actively burning fires. Numerous smoke plumes, as well as a patchwork of darker burns scars, are also visible. Aqua acquired the image at 2:05 p.m. local time (08:05 Universal Time) on April 24, 2012. (NASA image courtesy Jeff Schmaltz, MODIS Rapid Response Team, Goddard Space Flight Center. Caption by Adam Voiland)
In one study that used MODIS measurements, scientists tallied the global distribution of agriculture fires and found that between 18 and 29 percent of the fires in central Asia were agricultural in origin. Researchers also found that Russia was responsible for an estimated 31 to 36 percent of the world’s agricultural fires—more than any other country.
What begins as a controlled agricultural fire, however, can easily morph into a raging wildfire in this part of the world. In Omsk, forests cover about 30 percent of the landscape and fires can easily spread. Many cultivated fields are adjacent to abandoned fields and wild grasslands, remnants of large farming cooperatives that collapsed with the USSR. (Forests are densest in the upper left of the image, and some of the fires in these areas have likely become uncontrolled forest fires).
“The human factor continues to play the negative role. Ninety-nine percent of all fires are started by negligence, prank, or carelessness!“ Director of the Russian Emergency Situations Ministry, Sergei Didenko

MAJOR EVENT: Liens Filed Against All 12 Federal Reserve Banks

DivineCosmos/The next major milestone for Mass Arrests of the cabal has now arrived. Liens have now been filed against all twelve Federal Reserve banks. A Cease and Desist Order has also been filed -- to prevent the world's wealth from continuing to be stolen.

PRELUDE TO THE MASS ARRESTS
If you have been following this and certain other websites, then you have already heard the eyewitness testimony suggesting that thousands of conspirators in finance, media, defense, military, corporations and government are about to be arrested.
The mass resignations of CEOs, worldwide -- now numbering well over 450 in the last few months alone -- is a tangible sign that a major event is anticipated within the insider community.
Let's be clear, again, that this is NOT a coup, NOT martial law, and NOT a takeover of the government in any way.

IT ALREADY HAS BEEN TAKEN OVER
Our financial system, media complex, defense industry, corporate world and government has already been taken over.
It is not being run for the people and by the people. It has been systematically manipulated by a secretive, occult Cabal.
We cannot sit back and wait for their next attempt to generate mass chaos and destruction, and say "let's just leave everything the way it is," simply because this group has been so circumspect in revealing its true intentions.
This system threatens the welfare of everyone on Earth. In their plan to secure global control, they have repeatedly attempted to create mass casualties -- by a variety of different means -- and significantly reduce population.
Many, if not most of these efforts have been thwarted. Much of this is thanks to the will of the people; great heroes who take a stand. This includes countless hundreds of millions of people doing their best to spread the word -- and inform others.
More recently there appears to be Divine Intervention, for lack of a better term -- which is utterly destroying the Cabal's ability to do any further harm on a mass level.
That does not, in any way, reduce or eliminate our need to act. For now, we focus on the practical, tangible, on-the-ground steps we must take to free our planet from Financial Tyranny -- within this very opportune set of circumstances.
THE PLAN REQUIRES THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE

The plan for mass arrests appears to have been in development since the 1960s, as my interview with a new insider named Drake revealed.
Drake was asked by the "good guys" in the Pentagon to provide a public voice for a plan that, up until then, had almost entirely been disclosed by Benjamin Fulford, since 2007, and myself since November 2011 -- when I was personally briefed on it.
This plan requires the will of the people to succeed. Otherwise, our supporters within the military and the justice system do not have the legal precedent to perform such actions.
After many years, the public outrage is now sufficiently high that the will of the people has become more than sufficient to take these steps. Elements within our civilian and military sectors alike have had enough -- and are taking a stand.
US marshals from the Department of Justice and peace officers will carry out the arrests, with the assistance of military personnel -- in the event of any unforeseen disturbances.
By assisting a legal civilian operation in this manner, the military personnel are following their Oath of Enlistment -- to protect and defend the US Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

Passport readers to reduce queues at Dubai airport

Passport readers to reduce queues at Dubai airport

The system, equipped with retinal scan using a high-accuracy camera, will eliminate the need for the e-Gate card currently issued by the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigner Affairs
Dubai: A new smart e-Gate system, which reads passport information and captures biometric data, including facial recognition in 12 to 14 seconds has been launched at the Dubai International Airport on Wednesday. Initially, it is installed at Terminal 3 arrival and will eventually be installed across all Dubai International’s immigration entry and exit points soon.
The system, equipped with retinal scan using a high-accuracy camera, will eliminate the need for the e-Gate card currently issued by the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigner Affairs (GDRFA).
Shaikh Ahmad Bin Saeed Al Maktoum, President of the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority, Chairman and Chief Executive of The Emirates Group and Chairman of Dubai Airports, has unveiled the new technology, which he described as a “new era in passenger service”.
The new technology paves the way for a faster and more efficient movement of the growing number of passengers into and out of the world’s fourth busiest airport for international passengers.
The system then matches the traveller’s captured biometrics and passport information against existing lists to detect any potential immigration issues. All these procedures will be completed in less than 15 seconds while maintaining a high-level accuracy and security standards.
Holders of modern passports with bar-codes that can be read by the e-reader can use the e-Gate, including children above the age of seven. Passengers who hold passports without e-readable barcodes, can proceed to the existing e-Gates or the conventional immigration counters to complete their entry or exit process.
Major General Mohammad Al Merri, Head of Dubai General Directorate for Residency and Foreigners Affairs said the Smart e-Gate is an ambitious and futuristic project and an important step towards encouraging the culture of e-travel.
“Working in an airport that is considered as one of the fastest growing airports in the world represents a challenge for all of us in facilitating the entry and exit of passengers without affecting security standards,” he said.
“We have succeeded in achieving this thanks to clear vision, team spirit, the use of the state-of-the-art technologies and the great support given by Shaikh Ahmad Bin Saeed, his daily follow up of work in the airport, and his directives to eliminate any obstacles that may hinder the progress in achieving the ultimate goal of making Dubai International the world’s best airport.”
The project was managed by a multi-specialised workgroup, led by Brigadier General Obaid Bin Surour. The team met with representatives of the concerned agencies and departments in the airport to discuss their needs and views, and hence, a plan of action was drawn up for the implementation of the project.
Before rolling the technology out, GDRFA will conduct a two-month trial of the system, during which there will be a daily follow up by the officers of the directorate to assess its performance and operational efficiency.
Lieutenant Colonel Khalid Nasser Abdul Razzaq Al Razzouqi, Assistant Director General of Electronic Services at GDRFA, said: “The new e-Gate will give us high efficiency in handling issues such as huge growth rates in passengers numbers, the use of fake passports and the reduction of time in completing passenger procedures at the counters to 12-14 seconds only, which is a record time.”
Lt. Colonel Khaled explained that a group of officers from the directorate had been trained on the operation of the smart e-Gate. He pointed out that a number of trials were carried out on the different segments of travellers before launching the new smart system.
Lt. Colonel Khaled explained: “This step comes within the framework of the directorate’s strategy to enhance customer loyalty and satisfaction, which at the end of the day will serve our aspirations as the service provider and benefit the public at large. Thanks to the combined efforts of the team and stakeholders, we have made a significant accomplishment in this regard.”

Dead fish in Pakistan lake raise fears over drinking water

Dead fish in Pakistan lake raise fears over drinking water

GulfNews/Nearby companies dump industrial waste, say residents
Karachi Some unknown poisonous element Wednesday killed thousands of fish and other species at the Kenjhar Lake, one of the largest freshwater sources that supplies 70 per cent of drinking water to Karachi, the largest city in Pakistan.
The onslaught of fish, cows, and dogs which drank the water, was seen early yesterday morning. Even the seashells, which are found in the bed of the lake died and lifelessly floated on the lake surface and the shore, wildlife official and witnesses said.
"What I can see is that in the area of more than three kilometres all the living things in water have died including fish, other species and water plants," said Ghulam Rasool Khatri, the World Wildlife Fund representative in the Thatta district some 125 kilometres east of Karachi.
The lake, also known as Kalri Lake, is one of the largest freshwater lakes in Pakistan with extensive reedbeds and flowering plants of lotus. The lake breeds a diverse range of flora and fauna and a wide variety of waterfowl, thus it is a wildlife sanctuary.
"Even the plants and water has turned blackish," Khatri said as the lake offers a scenic look of blue water and a very famous among the picnickers from Karachi and nearby cities.
The reason for the sudden death of the water species is yet to be determined but Khatri, who reached the lake yesterday afternoon, said some rain water entered the lake after torrential rains in the area and the local villagers said with the arrvial of deadly rain water animals started dying.
‘Industrial waste'
"We have collected the sample of water and sent it for the laboratory tests to know the exact nature of the deadly element," Khatri told the Gulf News.
Environemnt Protection Agency (EPA) officials also reached the spot to examine and contain the damage.
However, he said rainwater that passed through the industrial wastage Nooriabad, Kotri and Jamshoro that could have fatally polluted the water. A company was also engaged in constructing a windmill.
A witness said he went to see the damage and found innumerable fish and other species floating dead on the surface in an area spanning four kilometres.
"I saw a big turtle lying dead on the surface as the bushes were also losing their freshness," Shahid Ahmad, a local resident said.
The incident has alarmed the residents of Karachi, who get their drinking water supply from the lake after it is filtered at two plants of Karachi Water and Sewage Board (KWSB), the water supply agency in Karachi.

Solar poles to become quadrupolar in May

Solar poles to become quadrupolar in May

DailyYomiuri/Magnetic field polarity at the solar poles will reverse and become quadrupolar in May, meaning positive fields will emerge in the North and South poles and negative fields will emerge on the equator, according to the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan and other institutes.
When a similar phenomenon occurred about 300 years ago, the Earth's average temperature fell slightly.
A research team led by Saku Tsuneta, a professor at the observatory, analyzed solar magnetic fields data using Hinode, an observational satellite, and confirmed that the polarity of the magnetic field at the North Pole began to reverse in July last year.
The researchers also found the magnetic field at the South Pole, which was expected to reverse along with the North Pole, maintained a positive polarity, ensuring the formation of a quadrupole magnetic field.
The cause behind the shifts in polar fields is not understood. However, it is known that the shifts coincide with the increase and decrease in the number of sunspots over an about 11-year cycle.
The current sunspot cycle has stretched for close to 13 years. A similar situation occurred in the 17th to 18th century, when the average temperature of the Northern Hemisphere decreased by 0.6 C. The research team believes the quadrupolar pattern also emerged at that time.
 

Illuminati Cabal Flee By The Hundreds

Illuminati Cabal Flee By The Hundreds As Mass Arrests Await Them From States Becoming Free From The Fed…

The Cabal Members and their 6,000 or so minions are now quitting their banking positions in the hundreds and soon to be thousands, because the individual states filed the proper paperwork to become independent of the US Corporation (own by the Federal Reverse Bank, who’s controlled by the Cabal)… which means that the US Military must obey what the states want, and not what the cabal wants!

RedDragonLeo/This is HUGE!  The military is sick and tired of following the orders of the Cabal as they know it’s totally wrong… but they were forced to because it’s the law.  They must follow what the governing body tells them to do, and that governing body has been the United States Corporation which is controlled by the Elite Illuminati Gangsters.  They have put the US Corporation in debt Trillions of Dollars through fraudulent actions of passing the losses on it, while stealing the profits through companies like Goldman Sachs, Bank of America and JP Morgan Chase.
They force the Treasury to borrow money from the Federal Reverse Bank (which they own, and is a “private corporation” that reports to NO One) and have basically piled all the debts that “THEY” created (not the America people) onto the Treasury which makes the US Corporation so far in debt that they are essentially bankrupt.  They plan to make us “sheep” pay that debt while they live like kings and use us as their slaves.

Their plans will fail, and are currently failing as I write this…

In this new interview with an insider named “Drake”, who speaks with David Wilcock about what is currently going on behind the scenes, the people “not are”… but “HAVE” now taken action to free the America people from these Illuminati Cabal Gangsters.  They have filed the proper paperwork to make the various states (I don’t know how many, but a majority of them has do this) “independent sovereign  nation states”.

Part 2 – Cabal Flee By The Hundreds As Mass Arrests Await Them From States Becoming Free From The Fed

A time frame is given for the mass arrests by Drakes’ sources but Ben Fulford see’s a temporary deadlock as the committee of 300 struggle to maintain power while good forces continue to put pressure on them…

(to watch on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vju23IrPtxc)
RedDragonLeo/Right now arrests are being made in the background but main stream media isn’t covering it.  But before we go there, let’s cover a little more of our history and brings us up to the present.
Quickly here, about 6,000 years ago a group of aliens called “Reptilian” came to earth (from the heavens, as referred to in the bible) and enslaved mankind.

There are drawings all over world showing these green reptilian looking people in what appears to be a spacesuit, with pictures in the background showing spaceships… and yes, I’ll be covering today and what Drake has said recently. But let’s cover a little history first.
These reptilians did ritual sacrifices, raping, killing, drinking their blooding, and eating children. This has been going on all the way up today. Only they use technology to shapeshift and hide their slanted eyes with holograms so they can walk among us.  They are the leaders in all the major countries of the world. They are the Bush family, Clinton family, Rothchilds, Vanderbuilts, Warburgs, The Queen, The Pope, Henry Kissenger, George Soro’s, Warren Buffet, The Rockefellers, The JP Morgan’s, and many others I don’t have time to list.

Do a search for “Reptilian Shapeshifters” and make up your own mind… and watch the story from Arizona Wilder with David Icke.

Say No to Destructive Drilling in the Arctic

Say No to Destructive Drilling in the Arctic
  • signatures: 17,703

  • deadline: ongoing
  • signature goal: 30,000

This summer, exploratory drilling will begin in the Arctic Ocean unless we stop it. The Arctic must be off limits to oil drilling for the simple reason that a spill would be impossible to clean up. The Arctic is home to polar bears, walruses, bowhead whales and other endangered and highly sensitive wildlife; oil drilling in its remote, ice-choked waters would carry unacceptably high risks of environmental destruction and loss of life.

President Obama has given approval to Shell to drill for oil this summer in the vulnerable Arctic. In hopes of uncovering new sources of dirty fossil fuels, Arctic drilling could also unleash more than 11 billion tons of carbon pollution -- making it ever more difficult to stave off devastating climate change.

Weeping four-year-old girl accused of carrying a GUN by TSA officers after she hugged her grandmother while passing through security

Weeping four-year-old girl accused of carrying a GUN by TSA officers after she hugged her grandmother while passing through security

Of all the many complaints about airport security and the TSA, one of the most common is that they make little distinction between plausible security threats and passengers unlikely to be doing anything wrong.
And a recent incident in Wichita, Kansas has reinforced that argument, as a four-year-old girl was apparently subjected to a humiliating ordeal after she hugged her grandmother while she was waiting in line.
The girl was accused of having a gun and declared a 'high security threat', while agents threatened to shut down the whole airport if she could not be calmed down.
When asked about the overbearing treatment the girl received, a TSA spokesman did not apologise and insisted that correct procedures had been followed.
Terror threat? Four-year-old Isabella was subjected to a full body pat-down and accused of carrying a gun in an airport
Terror threat? Four-year-old Isabella was subjected to a full body pat-down and accused of carrying a gun in an airport
Four-year-old Isabella's horrific experience in Wichita earlier this month was recounted on Facebook by her furious mother Michelle Brademeyer.
The family was in Kansas for a wedding, and was travelling home to Montana with Ms Brademeyer's mother.
Ms Brademeyer and her two children had passed through security when the grandmother was detained after triggering an alarm on the scanners.
Isabella then, according to her mother, 'excitedly ran over to give her a hug, as children often do. They made very brief contact, no longer than a few seconds.'
The young girl was immediately detained by security agents, who apparently shouted at her that she would have to be frisked too, and refused to let her mother explain what has happening.
Ms Brademeyer wrote: 'It was implied, several times, that my mother, in their brief two-second embrace, had passed a handgun to my daughter.'

In her terror, Isabella tried to run away rather than face a full body pat-down, which unsurprisingly enraged the TSA officers further.
One officer even told the girl's mother that the airport would have to be shut down and every flight cancelled if the four-year-old did not co-operate.
They also apparently described the little girl as a 'high security threat'.
As Isabella was taken into a side room for a pat-down, accompanied by her mother, she could not stop crying and refused to let the agents touch her.
An officer repeatedly said she had 'seen a gun in a teddy bear' in the past, in an apparent attempt to justify the situation.
Ms Brademeyer continued: 'The TSO loomed over my daughter, with an angry grimace on her face, and ordered her to stop crying.
'When my scared child could not do so, two TSOs called for backup saying, "The suspect is not cooperating." The suspect, of course, being a frightened child. They treated my daughter no better than if she had been a terrorist.'

Isabella continued to cry, and officers said the family would have to leave the airport as the TSA was unable to frisk the four-year-old.
When a manager was called, he decided that the distraught Isabella could be checked alongside her mother, and let the family pass through security at last.
But their nightmare was not yet over, as on a connecting flight in Denver, an airport employee demanded to know which of the family was Isabella - and 'looked really confused' when the girl was pointed out to her.
Ms Brademeyer concluded her Facebook post by drawing attention to TSA rules against separating children from their parents, and added: 'I feel compelled to share this story in the hope that no other child will have to share in this experience.'
When The Consumerist approached the TSA for comment on the bizarre incident, a spokesman said: 'TSA has reviewed the incident and determined that our officers followed proper current screening procedures in conducting a modified pat-down on the child.'
Last month the agency came in for criticism when a video of a three-year-old boy in wheelchair having a full pat-down and being swabbed for explosives circulated on the internet.
