Jack DeCoster's Salmonella Touch: Another massive egg recall
By Rady Ananda
Food Freedom
Another massive egg recall, another tie to scofflaw Jack DeCoster.
Nearly 300,000 eggs have been recalled, affecting eight states, after Cal-Maine Foods, Inc. got word on Friday from the FDA that eggs from one of its suppliers, Ohio Fresh Eggs, tested positive for Salmonella Enteritidis (SE). Cal-Maine processed and packaged 24,000 dozen eggs in its Green Forest, Arkansas facility under the Sunny Meadow, Springfield Grocer, Sun Valley and James Farm labels.
Cartons bearing plant number P1457 with Julian dates of 282, 284 and 285 are being recalled. The Julian date follows the plant number, for example: P1457-282.
Israeli Banks Profiteering from Occupation
by Stephen Lendman
Wall Street does it. Other Western banks do it. They all exploit markets, often ripping off customers illegally. Why not Israeli banks also in their own back yard, easily in expanding settlements.
The Coalition of Women for Peace (CWP) includes 10 feminist organizations and non-affiliated activist women in Israel. Founded in 2000, it advocates "radical social and political change," and is "a leading voice against the occupation, committed to feminist principles of organizing and Jewish-Palestinian partnership in a relentless struggle for a just peace."
The child soldier and Gitmo's kangaroo court
Mary Shaw
In October, a U.S. military tribunal at Guantanamo Bay sentenced Omar Khadr to 40 years in prison. A plea deal reduced his sentence to eight years. Under the deal, Khadr pled guilty to five charges, including murder and conspiracy to engage in terrorism.
What sets this apart from other terrorism cases is that Khadr was only 15 years old when he was arrested on an Afghan battlefield. He is also a Canadian citizen.
Because of his young age at the time of his arrest, Khadr has been recognized as a child soldier by the United Nations. As such, international standards prescribe that he be protected and rehabilitated, not prosecuted and abused.
Bring me the head of Silvino Herrera
By Daniel Patrick Welch
"Us versus them" and other "modern" myths of war and civilization
Against the background of the leaking of the USA?s secret Iraq war crimes files by the whistleblower website WikiLeaks, Daniel Patrick Welch peers beneath the West's self-proclaimed cultural and moral superiority in the face of atrocities against innocent people all over the world.
"When we peel away all the layers of burning flesh, all the carefully constructed fiction of human progress and benefits of science and technology, we must face a reality perhaps even more grim. There simply is no 'us versus them'. The side claiming to represent progress has done more and done worse, using as low-tech and brutal methods as any on either side of the technological and cultural divide."
QuantItative Easing: Elixir or Poison?
by Stephen Lendman
Ahead of the November 11 - 12 G-20 meeting in Seoul, South Korea, the Fed announced QE II, another $600 billion between now and end of June 2011, a flexible figure to be raised or lowered freely, the Fed saying it will:
"....regularly review the pace of its securities purchases and the overall size of the asset-purchase program in light of incoming information and will adjust the program as needed to best foster maximum employment and price stability."
The Democratic Party Debacle and the Demise of the Left-Center Left: A Worldwide Trend
James Petras
Introduction:
The November 2, 2010 electoral debacle of the Democratic Party in the US cannot be solely ascribed to the failed policies of President Obama, the Congressional leadership or their senior economic advisers. Nor is the demise of what passes for the American “center-left” confined to the US – it is a world-wide pattern, expressed in countries as diverse as Greece, Portugal, Spain, Great Britain and Japan.
The central question is why the left-center left governing parties are everywhere in crisis and will be for the foreseeable future?
GORDON DUFF: YEMEN: AL QAEDA PRESENCE NOT CREDIBLE
by Gordon Duff
"AL QAEDA" CALL FOR ATTACKS ON AMERICA, NOT ISRAEL, UNDER SUSPICION
The people of Yemen simply don't believe in Al Qaeda or Osama bin Laden, and for good reason. When Abdullah al-Faqih, professor of political science at Sana University told the New York Times, "We cannot differentiate between what is propaganda and what is real¡Some of what looks like Al Qaeda is really terror as a business."
With early news stories being continually contradicted, bombs that weren't really bombs heading out on flights that never existed, carrying packages for companies that don't service Yemen, all heading for Chicago synagogues, part of the wildest "persecution complex" of all time, the whole "Al Qaeda/Yemen" thing has been little more than a "borscht belt" comedy act.
Open Season on Muslims in America
by Stephen Lendman
More than ever today, Muslims are public enemy number one. Post-9/11, they've been ruthlessly vilified and persecuted for their faith, ethnicity, prominence and activism. As a result, innocent men and women have been spuriously called terrorists, or charged with conspiracy to provide them material support.
No wonder as an earlier article explained. They've been unfairly portrayed as culturally inferior, dirty, lecherous, untrustworthy, religiously fanatical, violent, gun-toting terrorists. As a result, hundreds have been wrongfully arrested, charged, convicted and imprisoned, guilty only of being Muslims in America at the wrong time. Their treatment represents a clear indictment of US injustice, targeting innocent victims for political advantage.
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC): What is the Rapture Doing in this Picture?
By Elizabeth Young
The controversy surrounding the Large Rube Goldberg Hadron Atom smashing Collider (RLHGC) from CERN got me thinking: What’s all the fuss about? [1]
So I followed the money to find out who really benefits, Cui bono.
There is only one grass roots organization big enough to come up with the $80 Billion (the tunnel probably cost 8 billion) to pay for the Collider: the two billion Christians in the world looking for Higgs boson (a very, very tiny god).
The Christians and the Scientists (the Christian Scientists) aren’t really worried about the surreal aspects of the collider, like the micro black holes, because the scientists at CERN said, “Any such holes would be so weak that they would vanish almost instantly without causing any damage.” [2]
It’s the Tribulation Stupid
The Tribulation is seven years of hell on earth when Yahweh takes his wrath out on anyone who hasn’t taken Him up on the free gift of salvation.
The Rapture (you are literally snatched up in the air) theory was invented during the early 1800s and gave the Christians, who were not prepared to die for their faith, a way out.
Unfortunately The Rapture isn’t in the Bible.
If you are unlucky enough to be alive when the tribulation begins, you are going to experience seven years of hell on Earth. [3]
That all changed when CERN built the LHC and Professor David Evans came up with another way out.
It’s really very simple: if Jesus isn’t coming back before “a time of trouble that mankind has never seen” then the only compassionate thing to do is to heat up the earth to say, ten trillion degrees for about a trillionth of a second, and poof, everyone with the free gift of salvation is in Heaven.
Unfortunately a trillionth of a second isn’t enough time for the rest of us to repent and get a “thief on the cross” ticket out of here:
And he said unto Jesus, “Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.” And Jesus said unto him, “Verily, I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.” Luke 23:39‑43
Therefore it is incumbent upon anyone, with or without a ticket out of here, to help us stop the Large Hadron Collider.
FORECLOSUREGATE COULD FORCE BANK NATIONALIZATION
Ellen Brown
For two years, politicians have danced around the nationalization issue, but ForeclosureGate may be the last straw. The megabanks are too big to fail, but they aren’t too big to reorganize as federal institutions serving the public interest.
In January 2009, only a week into Obama’s presidency, David Sanger reported in The New York Times that nationalizing the banks was being discussed. Privately, the Obama economic team was conceding that more taxpayer money was going to be needed to shore up the banks. When asked whether nationalization was a good idea, House speaker Nancy Pelosi replied:
“Well, whatever you want to call it . . . . If we are strengthening them, then the American people should get some of the upside of that strengthening. Some people call that nationalization.
