Legal actions against Bank of America are piling up, this time from Attorneys General in Nevada and Arizona, housing bubble ground zero. See a list of all the lawsuits...
The scandal here isn't that all these cities are pouring cancer out of the faucets, it is that the EPA has known of the link between Chromium-6 and cancer since the days of Erin Brockovitch, but has never taken any steps to monitor let alone reduce the problem.
I guess the PA was too busy sucking up to the global warming carbon-tax crowd.
As a side note, the product offered by one of our advertisers above reduces total chromium in water. This is not a perfect solution because only chromium-6 is dangerous, and you need the other forms of chromium as nutrients.
A cold weather snap has brought ice, snow and chaos to much of eastern and southern China, paralyzing highways, cutting power and damaging crops across an area not used to sub-zero temperatures, state media reported on Friday.
An Iraq War veteran serving five life terms for raping and killing a 14-year-old Iraqi girl and killing her parents and sister says he didn't think of Iraqi civilians as humans after being exposed to extreme warzone violence. Steven Dale Green, a former 101st Airborne soldier, in his first interview since the 2006 killings, claimed that his crimes were fuelled in part by experiences in Iraq's violent 'Triangle of Death' where two of his sergeants were gunned down. He also cited a lack of leadership and help from the Army.
If Germany and its hard-money allies genuinely wish to save the euro – which is open to doubt – they should stop posturing, face up to the grim imperative of a Transferunion, and desist immediately from imposing their ruinous and reactionary policies of debt deflation on southern Europe and Ireland. Webmaster's Commentary:
I guess the gods of Hawaii are pissed off that Obama is coming here. :)
The 2010 Hurricane season officially ended November 30, and had the fewest hurricanes on any Pacific Hurricane Season on record. The Pacific Hurricane Center on Oahu has been re-activated to monitor this storm, which is much like Iniki in that it has appeared after the official and of hurricane season.
The carbonazis will scream this proves the Earth is waring because hurricanes need heat to power them, but this is not entirely accurate. What drives hurricanes is a temperature differential. That is that hurricanes are driven by ocean surface heating or atmospheric cooling. That planets like Jupiter and Saturn get hurricanes shows that such storms are not always indicative of heat.
An environmental group that analyzed the drinking water in 35 cities across the United States, including Bethesda and Washington, found that most contained hexavalent chromium, a probable carcinogen ...
It is official: in the name of "clean energy, pollution control and medicine," the White House is prepared to let scientists, spearheaded by the J. Craig Venter Institute, "manipulate DNA of organisms to forge new life forms," according to a recent AFP article . . .

In effect, a habitual armed robber was being asked to stop robbing a few banks for three months in exchange for a huge financial payoff. Such an arrangement qualifies as a transparently shameless embrace of Israeli lawlessness on behalf of a peace process that has no prospect of producing peace, much less justice.
Widespread travel chaos caused by some of the severest winter weather for a century left Christmas commuter plans in tatters and swathes of the country paralysed today. Delays and cancellations at a host of UK airports continued to hit thousands of passengers, while plummeting overnight temperatures left almost the entire road network caked in treacherous black ice.
Coinciding with the winter solstice the eclipse will happen when the Earth directly aligns itself with the sun and the moon.The effect causes the Earth to block the sun’s rays, casting a shadow over the moon which will see it change colour – from grey, to pink, and perhaps even red. Star gazers in Britain will be able to witness the beginning of the eclipse, if skies are clear, at 0633 GMT. The stage of total eclipse will run from 0741 to 0853 GMT.
During the last few weeks, we had temperatures close to 10°Celsius above zero, while most of the rest of Europe was freezing with minus degrees in the same range below zero... I´ve seen this kind of strange difference in weather pattern between us and the rest of Europe before- some twenty years ago actually, only in reverse. It was in the early 1990s, when political Europe started to fully get on the “Global Warming” train, while we had some of the heaviest snow winters in living memory of most Icelanders then.
What were they smoking? A pair of blundering cops mistook a downtown man's cigarette break for a suicide attempt, a lawsuit claims. A lawyer enjoying a puff on the sill of his second-floor apartment window says he was wrestled to the floor by cops who hauled him off to the loony bin. Mark Moody said he was taking his usual nicotine break on the window ledge of his Peck Slip home on a hot August day with a cigarette in one hand and a cellphone in the other, a scant 12 feet off the ground.
There is another group of Americans that needs to drop through the trap door: The Zionist radio talkers. Limbaugh, Hannity, O’Reilly, the Savage Wiener and all the rest who have screamed and urged the destruction of Moslems. The Wiener wants millions killed now. All of them call for the nuclear bombing of Iran. These loudmouths talk and talk, knowing that their homicidal words please the Israelis. They need to be shown that vile words have consequences.
The NYPD has begun to implement iris scanners to create a bio-metric database of criminal suspects as they are processed through central booking. NYPD says this new identification program is a fail-safe measure to prevent escapes as suspects move through the court system and that this technology is in response to two suspects escaping police custody by impersonating lesser offenders.
The glaring difference between the two is that Orwell’s dystopian society is overtly totalitarian. America, conversely, operates under a “soft fascism” – an insidious, systematic method of preventative action and corporate top-down control over society’s media, economy and politics – while maintaining the necessary illusion of personal choice and freedom. A populous with little to no concept of their subjugation makes them the perfect subjects to rule.
Snow, ice and freezing cold weather was hitting road, rail and air networks across northern Europe for a third consecutive day Monday, leaving hundreds of thousands of travelers stranded, retailers facing lower sales and airlines and airports facing a big bill for the disruption.
The U.K., France, Germany and the Netherlands are among the worst hit by the freezing weather, which is set to continue right up until Christmas , according to forecasters.
Interestingly, after this year, we'll have a long time to wait until we have a December full moon occur on the same date as the solstice: Dec. 21, 2094! And even more interesting – just like this year – that same full moon will fall into Earth's shadow in a total lunar eclipse. However, unlike this year, the 2094 eclipse will not be visible from the Western Hemisphere, but will be able to be seen from Europe, Africa and much of Asia. [How to Watch the Dec. 20 Total Lunar Eclipse]
60 Minutes Video - State Budgets Day of Reckoning - Aired Tonight Transcript is inside. Illinois is so broke that vendors have stopped accepting the state's credit card, and it now borrows 50 cents of every state dollar spent. Unlike the fluff interview with Ben Bernanke, Dan Kroft at 60 Minutes conducts a very hard hitting interview with Meredith Whitney, Illinois state Comptroller Dan Hynes, and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie.
This is perhaps the MOST IMPORTANT 60 Minutes Ever Broadcast
Investment bankers at the bailed-out Royal Bank of Scotland are in line to land £1billion in bonuses in defiance of increasingly frantic Government demands for restraint. Business Secretary Vince Cable yesterday issued the first explicit threat from the Coalition of a new supertax on ‘scandalous’ City handouts. It came amid mounting concern in Whitehall at plans by the leading banks to pay out a total of up to £7billion in the next few weeks.
The United Nations Security Council's emergency talks on easing Korean tensions have ended without an agreement, just hours before South Korea was due to begin an artillery exercise on the border island that North Korean guns attacked last month. North Korea has warned there could be "catastrophic" effects if the South Korean military goes ahead with its plans in the disputed area around Yeonpyeong Island.
This figure is before the extension of the Bush tax cuts and everything else thrown into this irresponsible bill, so you'll need to add another trillion to the total. A $20.6 trillion national debt by 2015. VIDEO - Includes David Stockman on Stephen Colbert - Dec. 2
12/16/2010 4:00 PM - 1 hr 1 min Length: 1 hr 1 min Description: Tod Fletcher takes a critical look at 9/11, puts the attacks in context, and updates us with the latest research news. Today's show will be an interview with historian Daniele Ganser, an expert on Operation Gladio, the secret campaign by the CIA, MI6, NATO and national military secret services to control European politics by terrorist attacks, forerunners of 9/11.
illustrating how tight the global grain markets are becoming, and the concern of governments over higher grain prices, yesterday Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said he had signed two governmental resolutions to start supplying grain from the state intervention fund to Russian regions affected by this year’s abnormal heat and drought.
“We will separately send the necessary volume of feed grain to the regions, which need to support their cattle breeding while food grain will be sent to Moscow, St. Petersburg, the Moscow and Leningrad regions. The work will start in the nearest future. The documents have been signed and will be released today,” Putin noted.
In this GEAB issue, we therefore anticipate the progression of the terminal crash of Western public debt (in particular US and European debt) as well as ways to protect oneself. Furthermore, we analyze the very important structural consequences of the Wikileaks revelations on the United States’ international influence as well as their interaction with the global consequences of the US Federal Reserve’s QE II programme. This GEAB December issue is, of course, the opportunity to assess the validity of our anticipations for 2010, with a of 78% success rate for the year. We also develop strategic advice for Euroland (8) and the United States.
The T.V was on and the propaganda was spewing. Top headline, " Two Americans die in Israeli attack". The first thing that may come to mind, Palestinian terrorist take out pro Israel Americans? That is, if you are heavily conditioned by the main stream "programing".
I have not owned a T.V in years, and when I occasionally am around one at a friends or something, I am appalled to see what consists of news on the various distraction filled "news" channels. I was only there for no more than 15 minutes, and this story had already been featured several times. Just this week there was many killed or stabbed all over America and the world. It is no surprisey to many of my readers that there is such a heavy emphasis on just two people killed in Israel.
PETALING JAYA: Some 22 Malaysian and regional non-governmental organisations (NGO) doubtful about the safety and effectiveness of the genetically modified (GM) male mosquitoes are urging the government to have a public debate before releasing the insect into the environment. In its letter to the Health Ministry, Natural Resources and Environment Ministry, National Biosafety Board (NBB), the Institute of Medical Research (IMR) and Genetic Modification Advisory Committee (GMAC), the NGOs said it was vital to engage the public on the field experiment first as it affects public health and environment.
It's a sure sign of the times that a book titled, "How to Survive the End of the World as We Know It: Tactics, Techniques and Technologies for Uncertain Times" becomes a National Bestseller. First printed a year after the October financial crash of 2008 when the world awoke to the fragility of the "system," author James Wesley, Rawles offers a pragmatic and thorough guide to survive other potentially more severe future crashes...
