EPA to test 30 buildings for 9/11 debris:
www.nydailynews.com/boroughs/story/308638p-264095c.html




*911 TRUTH: PORTLAND IMC*

A few days ago someone posted an article critical of Noam Chomsky, Ward Churchill and AK Press. It is called "Left Denial on 9/11 turns irrational."

NJS posted a link to his 9/11 website (www.911Hoax dot com).

Following this, Portland IMC removed the article and someone has reposted it, minus NJS's brief comment.
portland.indymedia.org/en/2005/05/317270.shtml

What does Portland IMC have to fear about their readers encountering the idea that the WTC planes were a news media hoax?

==>Flu oddities (updated 5/3/05):
www.legitgov.org/flu_oddities.html




**NEXT ATTACK: RUMSFELD**

Rumsfeld tells reporters that a nuclear attack on the US is "only a matter of time":
www.informationclearinghouse.info/article1390.htm

(he should know!!)


Donald Rumsfeld says missile hit the Pentagon, contradicting the official story of 9/11:
www.defenselink.mil/transcripts/2001/t11182001_t1012pm.html
--or--

Real ID card Senate vote - unanimous treason:
www.rense.com/general65/uan.htm




***PENSIONS***

Court approves termination of United Airlines pension plans
www.wsws.org/articles/2005/may2005/unit-m13.shtml

"...The actual amount the PBGC will underwrite is likely to be even less than the $45,000 maximum, since the agency’s resources will be exhausted within a few years by a tidal wave of corporate pension fund defaults..."




*DC EVACUATIONS*

US: the panicked evacuation of Capitol Hill
www.wsws.org/articles/2005/may2005/evac-m13.shtml

"...The 45-minute episode marked the first time since the establishment of the Homeland Security Department’s color-coded terror alert system that the alert has raised to red, the highest level..."

(code red = martial law. this whole event sounds staged.)


Officials weighed shooting down "errant" plane:
apnews.myway.com/article/20050513/D8A207VG0.html

Cessna pilot campaigned for Bush:

--or--
snipurl.com/euwt




*PRISONS*

Healthcare in prisons "shocking":
www.informationclearinghouse.info/article8812.htm




*BILDERBERG MEETINGS*

Bilderberg strikes again:
atimes.com/atimes/Front_Page/GE10Aa02.html

"Given this is a pretty mainstream site, this is rather hard hitting. He tries to dismiss talk of "conspiracy theories", but does admit by the end that Bilderberg is way more than a discussion club, a Bilderberg meeting is an event where a consensus is reached which becomes 'the backdrop against which policy is made worldwide'." (tx Jeffrey)





*STERILIZATION*

Brazil launches inqury into alleged US-sponsored sterilization program:
thepragmaticprogressive.blogspot.com/2003/05/this-article-printed-in-its-entirety.html

US torpedoed Kursk submarine:
www.news.com.au/story/0,10117,15222776-401,00.html

Russia says it uncovers US spy activity:
www.newsday.com/news/nationworld/wire/sns-ap-russia-spies,0,1926369.story
--or--
snipurl.com/euwq

"...The head of the Federal Security Service or FSB, Nikolai Patrushev, also suggested that foreign governments are using NGOs to fund and support changes of power in former Soviet republics..."

(No, this can't be! sounds like a case of mistaken identity.)




*TORTURE: COURTS*

Abu Ghraib victim's statement barred from US trial:
today.reuters.co.uk/news/newsarticle.aspx
--or--
snipurl.com/etjt

"Testimony from an Iraqi photographed with wires attached to his arms and a hood over his head at Abu Ghraib prison will not be allowed at a prisoner abuse trial, a U.S. military judge ruled on Wednesday..."

(those military courts are really fair and just.)




*TORTURE: AUTHENTICITY*

Wired Iraqi prisoner photo done in jest, says lawyer:
story.news.yahoo.com/news
--or--
snipurl.com/euwp

(maybe the torture scandal broke last year because of the machinations of the White House. one benefit is that the American public gets used to the idea that being imprisoned means being tortured.)




*TORTURE: RENDITIONS*

"Terror suspects" sent to Egypt by the dozens, HRW panel reports:
www.nytimes.com/2005/05/12/politics/12detain.html?

King of Jordan to pardon Iraq's deputy PM over $300m bank fraud:
www.informationclearinghouse.info/article8805.htm
--or--

*IRAQ: DRUGS*

Lawless Iraq is "key drug route":
news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/4541387.stm




*IRAQ: PRETEXT*

Indignation grows in US over British prewar documents:
www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/world/la-fg-memogate12may12,1,7966962.story
--or--
snipurl.com/euwn

[registration required. use BugMeNot.com for the password.]

"...there has been growing indignation among critics of the Bush White House, who say the documents help prove that the leaders made a secret decision to oust Iraqi President Saddam Hussein nearly a year before launching their attack, shaped intelligence to that aim and never seriously intended to avert the war through diplomacy..."

(a better focus of time and energy would be 911 Truth. So, some of these "critics" really aren't that critical.)




*IRAN: NUCLEAR WEAPONS*

US media and Iran's nuclear threat:
www.atimes.com/atimes/Middle_East/GE11Ak01.html

"...the US media is nowadays filled with news on Iran's nuclear threat, thus preparing the American public for yet another Middle East conflict without, however, maintaining a modicum of balance by reflecting the Iranian point of view..."


Russia to send Iran nuclear fuel "by early 2006":
www.swissinfo.org/sen/swissinfo.html
--or--
snipurl.com/euwl

"Russia plans to start shipments of enriched uranium fuel to Iran late this year or early next to start up a Russian-built nuclear power plant there, a top Russian nuclear official was quoted as saying on Wednesday..."

(NJS: info or disinfo? I dunno.)

"...An armed crowd took over the high-security jail in Andijon shortly after midnight and released as many as several thousand prisoners..."

("...That's a few less thousand prisoners that the Bush terror team (and its perverted ally, Uzbekistan) can *boil to death.* (Lori, legitgov.org)"

*CUBA, VENEZUELA*

Cuba & Venezuela declare "year of Bolivarian alternative':
www.workers.org/2005/world/cuba-venezuela-0519/







*CANNABIS: MEDICINE*

Marijuana a medical marvel:
www.nexusmagazine.com/articles/maryj.html

"Cannabis, or marijuana, has proven medical benefits and few, if any, toxic side-effects. Why, then, has it been a prohibited medicine for over fifty years?"



Cannabis chemical 'helps hearts':
news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/4417261.stm

Cannabis in history:
www.hempology.com/textbook/ch1.html

"...there is little doubt that Cannabis sativa was the first crop to be grown by early humankind, about 10,000 years ago...

from chapter four:
www.hempology.com/textbook/ch4.html

"...hemp seeds are the most nutritional food for humans on the planet, containing all the essential amino acids and essential fatty acids necessary to sustain our lives. Not only that, but the ratio of oils in the seeds, with 80% Essential Fatty Acids (EFA) and 8% saturated fat, is perfect for the human digestive system...Many scientists claim that hemp seed could treat malnourishment and block diseases in all Third World countries, if hemp was given the chance..."

*CINEMA*



A love in Germany (1983):
www.imdb.com/title/tt0085843/

Outstanding. It looks and the narrative unfolds just like you're in Nazi Germany. What a nice commentary it makes about how hysteria and terror must exist for a brutal regime to continue.




*TENNIS*
