Kerry: Senate May Pass U.S. Climate Bill, Reject Treaty
(Bloomberg) The U.S. Senate may pass legislation to slow climate change and then fail to approve a global treaty that commits nations to do so, Senator John Kerry said. Kerry, chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, will be a leader in Senate efforts to place the first domestic curbs on greenhouse gases, after the House approved a measure last week. Even if a Senate bill passes, there may not be enough support to ratify an international accord incorporating the U.S. commitments, the Massachusetts Democrat said in an interview. A possible Senate rejection poses a threat to the 192- nation effort to forge an ...
Michael Scheuer and Glenn Beck: Terrorists
(Real Truth Online) Terrorist Michael Scheuer calls for a major terrorist attack in the U.S. as fellow terrorist Glenn Beck nods in agreement On last night’s Glenn Beck Program on FOX News, neocon stooge Glenn Beck had retired CIA veteran Michael Scheuer on to discuss guns, the Mexico border and Obama’s plan to send unarmed volunteers to protect our borders. After about 6 minutes of meaningless chatter on that, the conversation took a treasonous turn. Beck says, “Do you really, honestly believe that we have come to a place to where those very senior people in the highest offices of the land…Congress and ...
Lawsuit accuses Xe contractors of murder, kidnapping, child prostitution
(Virginian-Pilot) A just-amended lawsuit alleges six additional instances of unprovoked attacks on Iraqi civilians by Blackwater contractors. Three people, including a 9-year-old boy, are said to have died. Also added to the suit is a racketeering count accusing Blackwater founder Erik Prince of running an ongoing criminal enterprise involved in, among other things, kidnapping and child prostitution. The latest charges, filed this week in U.S. District Court in Alexandria, bring to more than 60 the number of Iraqis allegedly killed or wounded since 2005 by armed Blackwater contractors guarding U.S. diplomatic personnel in Iraq. The Moyock, N.C.-based security company, since renamed Xe, earned more than ...

Fox News : The Only Thing That Can Save America Now Is For Al Qaeda To Nuke Our Cities
(Your New Reality) This Is Insane. Pure Treason. But understandable. When tragedy and disaster strikes, people run to their TVs. Fox News pulled more than 10 million viewers on 9/11 and for a week or two after. They nearly hit those same ratings highs when Rupert Murdoch’s droogs fermented from fantasy into reality an unprovoked War On Iraq. Imagine how many people would watch Fox News if American cities started getting blown apart by “major weapons”? It’d be the mecca of ratings.
Federal agents hunt for guns, one house at a time
(Houston Chronicle) In front of a run-down shack in north Houston, federal agents step from a government sedan into 102-degree heat and face a critical question: How can the woman living here buy four high-end handguns in one day? The house is worth $35,000. A screen dangles by a wall-unit air conditioner. Porch swing slats are smashed, the smattering of grass is flattened by cars and burned yellow by sun. “I’ll do the talking on this one,” agent Tim Sloan, of South Carolina, told partner Brian Tumiel, of New York. Success on the front lines of a government blitz on gunrunners supplying Mexican drug ...

Cheney fears Iraq withdrawal will ‘waste’ U.S. sacrifices
(Washington Times) Former Vice President Dick Cheney on Monday said he is concerned about U.S. forces withdrawing from Iraqi cities within 24 hours. Mr. Cheney told The Washington Times' "America's Morning News" radio show that he is a strong believer in Gen. Ray Odierno, commander of U.S. forces in Iraq, and that the general is doing what needs to be done. "But what he says concerns me: That there is still a continuing problem. One might speculate that insurgents are waiting as soon as they get an opportunity to launch more attacks." More than 250 people have died in Iraq during the past week ...
Cap and Trade Will Lead to Capital Flight
by Ron Paul In my last column, I joked that with public spending out of control and the piling on of the international bailout bill, economic collapse seems to be the goal of Congress. It is getting harder to joke about such a thing however, as the non-partisan General Accounting Office (GAO) has estimated that the administration’s health care plan would actually cost over a trillion dollars. This reality check may have given us a temporary reprieve on this particular disastrous policy, however an equally disastrous energy policy reared its ugly head on Capitol Hill last week. The Cap and Trade Bill ...
The Emperor’s Seven Signing Statements
(By David Swanson - American Chronicle) Lawless detention is the least of it. State secrets and warrantless spying scrape the surface. Drone attacks and ongoing torture begin to touch it. But central to the power of an emperor, and the catastrophes that come from the existence of an emperor, is the elimination of any other force within the government. Signing statements eliminate congress. Not that congress objects. Asking congress to reclaim its power produces nervous giggles. Look at how the latest war supplemental funding bill was passed. The Emperor’s people wrote most of the bill. The Emperor combined it with the IMF ...
