Ritchie Allen Show Tonight
I will be on Richie Allen's radio programme tonight (21:15 GMT) to discuss the murders in Paris today. Of course the critical question to ask, no matter where responsibility for this act lies, is who stands to gain? For sure this act will support our corrupt and treasonous governments in the undeniable agenda of concentrating power even further and achieving a 'New World Order' agenda that is good for nobody, even the bastards running our world. Having watched one of the videos that shows a French policeman being shot dead while lying injured on the ground.
It is clear that the murderers were well trained and obviously very proficient in their mission. The killers also appear to be quite white, so the dark skinned patsy Muslim may not be possible if indeed this is a false flag. They also apparently spoke perfec French, a detail that may become relevant. It is curious that there were not French police swarming the area within the first shots being fired; in a place full of 'protected' journalists, and in a very central Paris location no less. I do not know the total time required for this operation, but any more than 4 or 5 minutes should have resulted in the area being swarmed with French police, especially since France was already on high alert. Many questions must be asked, and for sure, we cannot trust one damn word of what the mainstream media tell us, much less the experts they parade in front of us. Please share. TJP

20 Hours Until End of Crowd Funding Campaign
My sincerest thanks – While I have not reached the target goal with just 20 hours left, I want to thank everyone who has shared and supported my crowdfunding campaign. Believe me when I say that I know I am blessed to have the kind of support that translates to good people shelling out what they can to help me do what I do. In a way I really do work for you, most of the last many years this work has been unpaid and yet I am grateful to have done what my heart required me to do. If I can I will continue to do this but now I must find a way to pay bills as well.
It is worth noting that in all this time I have not taken one penny from the UK government, although I qualify for financial entitlements. My attitude there is fuck'em, I ill not be beholden to their corrupt system. Aside from that you could bank on me having been portrayed as a social leach if I had taken any of the money available to me through the system. Instead I have simply done what I needed to do and had faith all that I would require would be there for me. This approach has worked, it allowed me to express myself as I need to do, and again I am grateful, so very grateful, so thank you to everyone who has helped me along the way. TJP

Programme 3 – 9/11
Programme 1 – Palestine
Merry ChistmasWhile I consider Christmas to be a most commercialised and materialistic manipulation for the vast majority of people, there is in this time an idea of helping others, and when that becomes primary and the materialistic crap becomes irrelevant then we know we are nearly there as a people. Anyway, I wish everyone all the best during this Christmas and New Year.
My way of giving back is pretty clear for those who see me fairly and I will continue to give what I have to the best of my ability, until the goal of a better world is achieved. Until such time let us never forget that the world is a reflection of our virtues and inadequacies.
If you can help me stay on air at The People's Voice by allowing me to pay bills and produce quality programs I must thank you in advance. For those who have shared the attached link and supported, thank you very, very much. Until we destroy the financial fraud that is central banking, fractional reserve, debt based money fraud, we will continue to endure the carefully manipulated scarcity that makes noble work either unpaid or little paid, so under these circumstances we must decide what is the best way to invest what little we have. If you feel my Middle East show is on the list of worthy causes then let it be because what I am discussing is that important, not simply because you like me. TJP
Appeal for Support to Keep Middle East Show on Air
I really despise fundraising and genuinely think this may be the last such campaign I will involve myself in. But the reality is that I must find a way to fund this show or simply take paid work elsewhere. For me the time to work for free is nearly done, it has been a blessing to only do what I choose to do, but family obligations make this a non-option in 2014. If you can support this campaign please do, if you cannot then please write and share why you think my Middle East Show is worth keeping on air and share this link to support. Some of you have good skills in this regard, any help you give to help me achieve this goal is seriously appreciated.
Here are some subjects already partially recorded or in the works, soon to be aired;
1) the USS Liberty
2) 9/11
3) War crimes & treason charges so as to purge the traitors among us.
If you look at the first two shows I think it is fair to say that the content is groundbreaking and complimentary to the process of creating a better world.
My ultimate goal includes eliminating the private control of debt based money with a truly publicly controlled, transparent, non-debt based system that serves people around the globe and creates abundance for all. With this achieved, fundraising campaigns like this will become unnecessary. I cannot wait for this, let us make it so ASAP!
Thank you in advance for sharing, either way 2014 is going to be an amazing year. TJP
Former US Marine: President Obama should be tried for treason
Below is the transcript and video for what might be my best interview ever. There are more things I would have liked to touch on, such as 9/11 and Palestine, but in 25 minutes there is only so much one can say and I was guided by the questions. For those who do not know I have a new show called Ken O'Keefe's Middle East on The Peoples Voice and as a volunteer producing and presenting this show I need some support to carry on. I simply cannot work full time and take care of family responsibilities. Your support is given with a promise that I will speak about issues like the ones below and more with the best platform possible. The image below is the link to support and/or share far and wide;
Reposted from Russia Today
The Middle East is at its boiling point. Syria is devastated by raging war. Israel threatens to deal with Iran once and for all – with Washington towering over regional affairs. What is at the cornerstone of American foreign politics? With Iran and the US going through a diplomatic thaw, what game will Tel Aviv play? Today we look at these issues through the eyes of a member of the few, but one not proud: a former US marine who burned his passport and became an anti-war activist.
Sophie Shevardnadze: So I am here with activist Kenneth O'Keefe, it's really great to have you on our show. Kenneth, I know that you've led a human shield action in Iraq, right before the war started and then you were deported – do you follow what's going on in Iraq right now? For example, the November death toll was almost 1,000 and 2013 is the deadliest year since 2008. Why do you think the removal of Saddam hasn't improved the lives of Iraqis? – Or has it? I don't know…
Kenneth O'Keefe: Well, I think if you really want to know the truth about the invasion in Iraq, there are clearly some incentives from the invasion: oil, securing oil was one of them, establishing prominent military bases in the region was another one, but the far less talked about reality is Israeli plans which made clear that the Balkanization of surrounding countries and particularly Iraq, if we go to Odid Yinon's plan for Israel in the 1980s, it lays out very clearly a strategy of destabilizing all of the areas surrounding Israel, this includes Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq and even Egypt and Saudi Arabia. This long-term goal is a part of a Greater Israel project, so in terms of sectarian divide you see happening in Iraq today it's actually all part of the very well designed plan to try and secure this fantasy goal of the Greater Israel project.
SS: Why would Israel benefit from an unstable Middle East, unstable Arab nations? Because what we see is that this instability actually is followed by fundamental Islam. People who are overthrown are either replaced by fundamentalist powers or there's just more sectarian violence that grows…
KK: Yes, if would seem on the surface from a sane point of view that everything is going wrong, but in fact, when you fracture a country along sectarian divides, ultimately you weaken the country. The last thing Israel or US wants is a strong Nasser-type leader, an Arab nationalist who will seriously ensure that the resources of that country are taken and protected and used for the benefit of the people – that's the last thing that the empire wants and Israel wants. While you have these religious fundamentalist nutcases who are running around bombing and doing all sorts of stuff like that, you have a weakened, fractured country in Iraq, and that is the prerequisite for ultimately expanding Israel into a fantasy of a Greater Israel project. It doesn't seem sane and it's not sane because those who are trying to carry out these agendas are pure and simple psychopaths.
SS: So you think that American administrations, one after another, have been following this plan for 30 years?
KK: If you ask me how the world functions, then you have to understand one thing plain and simple – the head of the snake, the system of power is headed by the financial system. The bankers rule the Earth, through the private control of issuance of money, debt-based money which we all are supposed to pay. Ultimately with all of these things that they call "austerity" and whatnot, the bankers, basically, through the control of issuance of money which allows them to provide themselves with an infinite supply of money, means that they can buy anything and anyone that can be bought – so if we look at it, the vast majority of governments around the world, they are nothing more than puppets carrying out an agenda for the bankers, and the bankers at the top of this pyramid are, as I've said, plain and simple psychopathSS: they're drunk on their own power, they are used to getting everything they want, they can buy anything and anyone that can be bought. This explains the corruption of virtually every government we can look at, and the policies do not reflect the interests of the people. They reflect, pure and simple, the interests of the bankers.
SS: So if what you're saying is true, that governments obey the big banks and the big money, then it would really take the people and a revolution in each country that you have named to actually change things around. Do you really see revolution taking place in America, for example?
KK: It's already happening. I'll give you a great example why I'm optimistic about things in America. You know that the president of the US, traitor that he is, is actually a constitutional lawyer? He actually has trained at the highest levels [of academia] in constitutional law. Do you know how obscene it is that somebody who was trained in constitutional law, giving himself the authority to execute anyone, anywhere, in any part of the planet with no jury, no trial, no conviction, nothing – this man is a dictator who has assigned himself the right to execute anyone, including US citizens. I am confident that at some point the American patriots, who seem to be in a bit of a coma and have been sleeping for a long time, are going to wake up soon and realize that when they took an oath to uphold the Constitution of the US, the president of the US also took that oath and has breached it so badly that he should be arrested and charged with treason right now – and ultimately all of the sycophants of the US Congress who pass things like the Patriot Act and the NDAA, again, completely a contrary to the US constitution, which is supposed to be the supreme law of the land. These people need to be arrested, and a government needs to be put in place that actually honors the US Constitution, and I honestly believe that's going to happen, one way or another.
SS: But you just started your answer by saying that the revolution is already happening and then you went on by citing everything that's going wrong in America, like for example the NSA leaks, right – you kind of touched upon them – nothing is really changing within the American society. I don't see people coming out on the streets and protesting, even though they know they are being listened to. Even Europe, look at Europe – they expressed their outrage at the fact that they have been listened to, including presidents, but nothing is really happening. It's not like America is cutting on the NSA programs, and it's not like people aren't listened to anymore. So where's the revolution that you are talking about?
KK: I'll tell you where – this is another thing that really excites me, Sophie, because while you're not seeing it, apparently and many other people may not be seeing it, let me give you a perfect example that the revolution has already occurred and first step of that revolution is awareness. No one is more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free. The people of the world are starting to realize they have been enslaved, enslaved in the financial system which is effectively selling the future of their children down the river. More and more people are becoming aware of that. They're also sick and tired of being lied to about one boogeyman after another and ultimately what happened in Syria – this is a key point and I really want to make this point before we move on to the next one, because it's talking about the revolution that you are referring to. The reason why we did not hit Syria, the reason why we did not start bombing Syria is at one simple thing, and that is that the people of the West and the world simply did not buy it. They didn't have to go on a street and protest – keep in mind, back in 2003 we had a largest protest in the history of the world, [but] it did not stop the invasion in Iraq. But, I'm telling you, the invasion and occupation and ultimately the bombardment of Syria has been planned long ago. It's a stepping stone toward Iran, which is the ultimate goal for these psychopaths, and [they] could not bombard Syria. The reason why they couldn't even secure that vote to favor that, here in Britain, is because the people overwhelmingly did not buy it. In the US the approval for bombardment of Syria was about 9 percent – that's why the US Congress, which is a treasonous body of the government, couldn't even go to a vote about it. Because if they went to a vote on it and actually voted for another war in this farcical war on terror (where [the fact that] the fantastic American servicemen took pictures of themselves saying: "I did not join the US military to fight with Al-Qaeda in Syria" says it all), if they had made that move, there would have been an open revolution. The powers that be know that people are primed and ready to take major steps to stop this, and again, American patriots are going to go [into] Congress and the White House eventually and arrest these cowards and traitors. But it's under the surface right now, it's getting ready and to show the power of the people – ultimately we did not go into Syria; this is because people did not provide one key element for the powers that be, and that is their consent. If they don't have our consent, they can't do a damn thing.
SS: So you actually bring me to my next point, which is Syria. You're saying the allegations in the Western press that it wasn't Syria but Iran that was the actual goal, the final goal, are true. What happens now if Assad starts to look like he is finally achieving a decisive victory, how will the US respond, do you think?
KK: Again, keep in mind that the real problem that Assad faces is that, well, yes, there are major human rights violations that happen in Syria and then in every other Arab country, and the US and the Western world – ultimately there are human rights violations of obscene levels, especially in the US. So they are in no position to talk about other leaders – our leaders, the US president can execute anyone, anywhere, anytime – and he does. So how can we talk about Bashar Al-Assad seriously and say that this man is a problem…
SS: Oh, Kenneth, they will talk about that and [say] the world listens to the American president, that's the difference. They will talk about that, they keep talking about it. That was the whole purpose of why they wanted to overthrow Assad, because there were supposedly human rights violations in Syria.
KK: The point that I'm making is that the US has given himself the authority to execute anyone, anywhere, anytime for any pretext, any bogus reason. Is that more of a problem to the world than Bashar Al-Assad? Of course it is! It's much more of a problem that the president of the US says he can execute anyone, anywhere anytime, and yet we're sitting here talking about Bashar Al-Assad which, granted, this man has committed crimes in Syria, there's no question of that. But when we look at the US president, when we look at Israel, we look at Britain – that alliance, this true Axis of Evil between these three countries. The amount of devastation that has occurred in Iraq, in Afghanistan and in other parts of world – Yemen, Pakistan – it's so devastating, I think its beggars belief that we as people can be conned into thinking that Bashar Al-Assad is the problem, or that Ahmadinejad was the problem. We are the problem; we in the West are the problem, especially the US government. It really is quite ridiculous that we get manipulated into saying, "Oh, we have to take care of this problem over there." The problem is in our own backyard, and we know this. We better take care of our dirty, filthy House of corruption. The US Congress is nothing but a den of traitors, the most sycophantic, disgusting traitors you can imagine, and the White House has got a dictator. This is a problem; this is a major problem, a much bigger problem than what's happening in Syria or Bashar Al-Assad.
SS: Now, you have great knowledge and strong opinions about events in the Middle East. Iran has recently softened its attitude toward its opponent after decades of deadlock. Israel is annoyed. How do you see that developing?
KK: I think it's a reflection of the sanity of people around the world who realize that any kind of attack on Iran is tantamount to initiating a full-scale Third World War, which of course could very well and almost inevitably would lead to a war with China and Russia. This is pure madness and those of us who've lost loved ones or who have served in combat like myself, and others who know the devastating cost of war, not just for the so-called "victor" – because the only victor really is the bankers, quite frankly – but even those who are supposedly on the winning side suffer greatly, and testimony to that fact aside from 1 million to 2 million dead in Iraq is the 22 American servicemen a day who are committing suicide because of the horrendous things that they were told to do in places like Afghanistan and Iraq. This policy, this shift in policy to actually resolve this conflict with Iran, this false conflict, in truth – is a reflection of the will of the people, if you ask me, who are starting to achieve their goal.
SS: You think Netanyahu is bluffing, because I've spoken to a couple of Israeli parliamentarians, I've spoken to Israelis – and they all are for a strike.
KK: No, I don't think he is bluffing, he is an absolute psychopath and he reflects the agenda for the powers that be in Israel. Each one of these players – Netanyahu, George W. Bush, Obama, Cameron – they are all puppets and they all are supposed to read a different script at different times, depending on what the agenda is. The agenda is shifting slightly. It looks like Israel and the people of Israel, the Jewish state of Israel, are like sheep being led into slaughter, because ultimately the policies of Israel are completely and totally unsustainable. Even the CIA said in 2009 that Israel would not even exist within 20 years. Henry Kissinger himself said it wouldn't exist in 10 years, and the reason why is because its policies are totally self-destructive. The puppet masters are quite happy to sacrifice the people of Israel, they are going to destroy themselves if they do attack Iran, because Iran can fight back and does have allies, and a lot of countries are sick and tired of Israel's threats to both its immediate neighbors and even the rest of the world. When we look at the Samson Option, I encourage people to Google "Samson Option" and look at the threat Israel has posed to the world if things don't go its way.
SS: When you talk about the US, [it's] Israel's main supporter – but right now we see that it's kind of open to Iran as well, knowing, how much anxiety that raises among Israelis – what does it tell you about the US?
KK: It tells me that people are beginning to realize their power. I think there are things that correlate – the approval rating for Barack Obama and the US Congress is as low as it's possible to get, somewhere in the neighborhood of 10 percent, 20 percent maximum. The people have come to a point where they are sick and tired of being lied to, they know they are being lied to, and when they see their so-called leaders try to cooperate with Israel and get another war that would lead to disastrous consequences for the region and for the US and every other person involved – they've had it. The reflection of the policies is indeed that of the people, it's the people who are sick and tired. I do see that there is some demarcation going on between Israel and the US, but this is because the power of people is rising – and as we saw on Syria, the Congress and the president were all basically saying, "The red line was crossed, blah-blah-blah," and this blatantly false flag attack in Ghouta in Syria has backfired, they were not able to carry out this agenda, and this is only empowering the people that much further.
SS: So you think Iran should be allowed to develop its nuclear program?
KK: I think it's absolutely hypocritical and insane that we would sit here and fixate on Iran and its supposed nuclear weapons program, which I don't believe exists, but nonetheless, who could blame Iran if they were developing nuclear weapons? If the US and the West taught any lessons to the rest of the world with the invasion and occupation of Iraq it was that Saddam Hussein was a fool for actually disarming, because by disarming all he did was make that much easier for the empire to come in and destroy the entire country. So the lesson we teach to the world is that the best way to defend yourself is to get yourself a nuclear weapon, and of course the biggest culprit of using nuclear weapons and producing nuclear weapons and weapons of mass destruction is my birth nation, the US, and I find it absolute insane that we sit here and talk about Iran's supposed nuclear weapons program when we know the US is producing every kind of weapon under this sun. It is spending more than any other military on the planet combined, and it's involved in more war, more death and more suffering than any other nation combined. And yet it's sitting there on a pedestal talking about other nations developing weapons of mass destruction? It is insane that we even allow them to do this, the first nation that needs to disarm without questions is the US, and the first nation to be charged with war crimes and crimes against humanity is my birth nation – the United States. Once we start seeing actions like this, then we'll know the people in positions of power are serious, because ultimately the rest of the world is sick and tired of the impunity and continuous threats of a Third World War. We've reached the point now when human beings around the planet are realizing we can't do this. We can't have a Third World War, this is not a game.
SS: But you haven't answered my question – do you think Iran should be able to develop its nuclear program?
KK: I think that every nation should disarm right now, every nation that has a weapons program should be inspected by a legitimate international body and those nations with the highest amount of WMDs, nuclear weapons should be the first ones to start disarming. When those nations start disarming, then I would say that the rest of the world will also have to show that it's disarming as well. While the US is able to maintain the largest military might in the history of the world and continues to use those weapons against all other countries, I only see it as a pure hypocrisy that the West would say that other countries can't have such things. I don't want any weapons in this world, but it's not right for us in the West and particular for the US to say that we can have all these weapons and for the rest of the world – we'll bomb you to the Stone Age if you even try to think to defend yourself. It's beyond hypocrisy, it's ridiculous. The US needs to disarm first, and the world needs to assist on that.
SS: I've read in your blog that you said this world needs one thing above all others – and that's sanity. But doesn't sanity depend on what side of the argument you're on?
KK: No, I think we were all sane when we were children and unfortunately what passes as education is actually an indoctrination and through indoctrination we've turned into really largely a bunch of dupes who've enslaved ourselves without even knowing it, but when you regain the capacity to think for yourself, to actually become human, it becomes very clear. For instance, if we look at these politicians who are historically lying to us, over and over and over again, and we realize that the war-making are absolutely inherently interested in perpetuating war, and if we look at the people in the positions of power, we see how they continuously reap major bonuses with the banks – they get bailouts to the tune of trillions and yet we're being told that we're not working hard enough, that we're in debt. All of these things combined lead us to the point when we reach a certain level of sanity, and realize: "You know what? This entire system does not represent me," and in fact every person on this planet is fighting the same enemy. That enemy uses the financial system to enslave all of us. It doesn't take a genius to figure this out; in fact more and more people are figuring this out. A point of sanity brings us to the point when we realize: "Enough, this is a game that cannot be played, we're risking our own collective suicide here and as a sane person I will not contribute in any way towards this never-ending policy of war which is leading us to the brink of destruction". This is not about being intelligent, this is about being sane first and foremost. The average person can understand this very easily.
SS: I know that you have renounced your US citizenship more than twice, three times I think. Having a US passport is a dream for so many people. What's so wrong with it, I mean you don't have to agree with US policies, but is America all that bad?
KK: When you look at citizenship, you have to understand that citizenship is a social contract between the state and the citizen. Under that contract you have, supposedly, rights and you also have obligations. Now, I look at the obligations of being a US citizen and I realized I cannot pay into a tax system which is basically paying up debt to the bankers, but nonetheless, we pay into a tax system which is used to produce military capability that is also ultimately used in other parts of the world, which is ultimately killing my brothers and sisters in other parts of the world. I do not agree to contribute to a tax system that is being used to commit mass murder against people I consider to be my brothers and sisters halfway around the world. It's violation of my ethics as a man, of someone who believes in justice for everyone and wants a better world for everyone. I cannot pay for the murder of my brothers and sisters – and that's part of the contract of citizenship. So I said, which was to me a sensible thing and a moral thing to do, "Take my name off of that contract, because I do not agree to it and ultimately I will walk away." I left a paradise life in Hawaii, had my own business, I was making money, lived on the beach, and did something I loved. I had a beautiful, beautiful life and I walked from that, because I absolutely, 100 percent disagree with the actions of my birth nation and I find them so criminal that I need my name taken off that list. I will enter into a contract again with the US if indeed it carries itself with honor and will respect the US Constitution; if the US Constitution is indeed made the supreme law of the United States, then I will happily come back to my nation and adhere to the contract.
SS: Why did it take so many times to renounce this citizenship to actually terminate it? Were the Americans holding on to you for some special reason? Should it be just easy to renounce, to say, "I don't want to be a citizen anymore, period"?
KK: It's a difficult process. It's costly, you have to leave the country, you have to swear under oath, you have to hand over your passport, you have to fill up the forms – I've done all that. I would argue that probably the reason why they have not honored my right of self-determination, a human right of self-determination, is because it could have set the precedent, which could spark an imaginative idea that people can look out around the world and say, "You know what? I don't actually agree with this contract with my nation any longer, I want to enter into a new contract." This is why I refer to myself as a world citizen, we're all world citizens. My human family is where my allegiance goes; I don't give my allegiance to one unit, one group, one nation, one religion. My whole human family is my brothers and sisters and ultimately I give my allegiance to them. That's the contract I will honor and if any other contract, inferior to that one, will try to compel me to pay for the murder of my brothers and sisters – I will not partake in that contract. I'm living here in the UK and haven't made enough money to even be taxable for the last 12 years, but I might make enough money this year to actually be taxable, and I'll tell you what: I will not pay into the UK tax system and fund the murder of my brothers and sisters halfway around the world. I simply refuse to do it, and I would argue that other people should look at the contract like that and, maybe, if we all decide to enter into a new contract like that we can end war for good.
SS: So you say you're a world citizen. Is there any place that you love more than others? Why are you living in the UK if you don't like UK policies?
KK: I love Hawaii. My adopted homeland is Hawaii, and the Hawaiian Nation was stolen by the US in 1893, and yet, there are my Hawaiian brothers and sisters who are Hawaiian nationals and who know who they are and have not forgotten who they are, and take pride in who they are. If they have their way, and I have my way, the Hawaiian Nation will no longer be a military outpost for the US launching its wars of aggression against everybody, the latest boogeyman. Hawaii is the place that I long to live, I plan to return there, but I want the empire out of Hawaii – Hawaii is not an extension of the US empire, it is a Hawaiian nation, and the people of Hawaii, the Kanaka Maoli deserve to have their nation back.
SS: Thank you for so much for this wonderful, interesting interview. That's it for today, folks, and we will see you in the next edition of Sophie & Co.
Egyptian Blockade of Gaza, Israeli Trade for West Bank
This is simply amazing, the border that Israel controls 100%, the border between Jordan and the West Bank, is now open for the very first time… for TRADE!
Yet, the border controlled by the 'Muslim Brotherhood', the border between Gaza and Egypt, remains virtually closed to trade.
Let me get this straight, Israel is opening trade in the West Bank, Egypt is maintaining a blockade in Gaza. Even recently pumping raw sewage into the tunnels between Gaza and Egypt, tunnels that are a lifeline of trade since that Egyptian border is closed to trade.
Is this not shocking beyond belief? Is this 'Muslim Brotherhood' in any way a reflection of Islam? I find this so shocking and so disgusting it makes me want to vomit.
Let us be clear, the blockade of Gaza is now, 100%, a Muslim Brotherhood, Egyptian blockade. Every bit as much as it is an Israeli blockade.
I am embarrassed that the events leading to the removal of Egyptian puppet Mubarak that I supported 100%, have lead to this. God help the true people of Islam, with so many treasonous false Muslims representing you. It seems you need just as much help as we poor souls of the Western hypocrisies that feign 'democracy' but in truth are nothing more than governments run by prostitutes in the service of tyranny.
This world needs one thing above all others, sanity. Sane human beings of all colours, all religions or non-religion, all nationalities, we the sane people of the world must unite. Enough already.
PS – I must repeat yet again my absolute position that aid is almost always nothing more than a ploy for infiltration and subversion. Aid is suffocation, it is being buried alive, it is dependency on the tit of tyranny. It is a dead end. Only self-sufficiency and independence is acceptable. This is the only way to a dignified life. I wish and support the way of true independence for Palestine and all of humanity.
Ken O'Keefe in Tehran – "Iran is not the threat, we are." – American Patriots Rise
It is time to stop being Israel's Bitch!
I renounced my US citizenship and the United States of Hypocrisy refused to acknowledge my right, our right, to self-determination. Alright then, I am thinking now that maybe I just needed to leave for 10 years or so and reflect on things, now that I have, I have made some important conclusions.
First among them is that it remains an embarrassment, that idiot flag waving Americans have sat by while their Constitution was used like toilet paper and their government became a bought and paid for circus of clowns.
Second is that due to this despicable state of affairs of failing to pay attention on our watch we Americans have continued to be complicit in mass murder that is truly unparalleled in the modern age. God help us for what we are collectively responsible for.
Third, our American sons and daughters continue to be used as the meaningless pawns they are and ultimately, aside from those our sons and daughters murder in foreign lands, aside from those we rape and torture, our sons and daughters themselves are the biggest victims of all. We so pathetically spouted "support our troops", like idiots, incredible idiots, while effectively sentencing them to a fate that makes post-traumatic stress disorder almost inevitable. Look at the drug abuse, domestic violence, homelessness and suicide rates of returning soldiers and compare it to the returning soldiers of Vietnam, what the fuck are we doing to our supposedly cherished sons and daughters?
I have come to another conclusion, America is almost assuredly going down and going down hard, so hard that it might just bring the whole world down with it, for this reason more than any other I feel a need to exercise the best virtues I obtained as an American born son and do my best to sound the alarm. To reach out to every genuine, not fake ass idiot patriot, but to reach out to the genuine patriots.
And lastly, we need to acknowledge 100% that the American government is bought and paid for by the Zionist, Jewish supremacists, Israeli "dual citizens", which in truth is a pyramid with the Rothschild's and their bankster kin at the top. These are the puppet masters and they have used America as their strong arm, if we are so blindingly stupid as to continue this role as their enforcers, we will exterminate not only ourselves but possibly this beautiful world we live in.
Hiroshima and Nagasaki are proof of just how horrendous we have been and thus are capable of being today.
It is time to stop being chumps, it is time to actually give some meaning to the word patriot. It is especially time for those in the police, military and government who took an oath to uphold the Constitution to honor that commitment. Are you a person of honor? Or are you a fraudster? A coward?
I couldn't care less about fake patriots, but real patriots, I am serious about working with you. Get the fuck up and take the fake ideals of America and make them real. If that were to happen I will happily ask for my citizenship back… until such time I do not give my allegiance to this criminal entity and thus I am not a citizen regardless of the judgments of this corrupt government and its minions.
When America truly becomes a nation of honor I will be proud to stand among its citizens as a genuine member of the family. Let us make this so.
Thank you to Anthony Lawson for his reading.

Words from an Honest, Intelligent & Compassionate Jew – Rich Siegel
Words from an honest, intelligent and compassionate Jew… words from a respected brother with a hugely important message that should be heeded by every single Jew on this planet.
"It is so terribly and dramatically disturbing to have been raised Jewish and Zionist, and to see the death and destruction that my people are bringing to the world. It is so frustrating to say, "Grow as I have grown, see what I see" and to only hear the same broken record of Jewish victimization and accusations of "self-hating Jew" in response. If I, as one born and raised in this death-crazed narcissistic cult, don't know how to resolve this desperate situation, how will anyone else figure it out? Please- Jews- my people- you are desperately sick. The whole world sees this and knows it, and yet so many are afraid to say so for fear of being called "Anti-Semite", while you kill children and refuse to be embarrassed by your blatantly evident tribal mental illness. But the world will stop being afraid of you, and cease to tolerate your murderous narcissism, and the result will be terrible for you. Please, please stop before this happens. Stop before you kill another child in Palestine! STOP THE KILLING IN GAZA!" Rich Siegel
Trade Not Aid Update – November 6, 2012 – UK Judge Orders Return of Stolen Vehicles & Property
Support the Trade Not Aid Mission by donating here;
Today was the final hearing for the case against the Trade Not Aid hijackers Cate (Catherine) Myles (aka Soraya Fitzgerald) and Sammi Coulthard (aka Saja Rana & Maitreyi Atmaja). It cost over £600 in court fees, money that should have gone directly into the cause. It took countless hours of work collecting evidence to establish the crime, something I wish I could have avoided. But today District Judge Evans actually infused just a bit of honour into the embarrassingly corrupt UK system… a system so blatantly servile to Israel/Rothschildland. Today Judge Evans ordered that the stolen 18-ton Renault truck and Metrorider Minibus, along with all donated goods onboard are to be returned to Aloha Palestine CIC & Samouni Project within 28 days.
We also managed to affirm with the judge the need to assess the condition of the vehicles and the likely theft of stolen property onboard before we can identify any necessary financial compensation; thus this can only be assessed when we get access to the vehicles, so within 28 days we shall see.
In the course of the hearing Cate Myles acknowledged that hijacker Cath (Catherine) Jenkins has been in possession of the vehicles on behalf of Catherine Myles, Sammi Coulthard and the so-called "committee" that includes essential hijacker Saeb Shaath. Let it be known however that since Cath Jenkins has had physical possession, any damage to these vehicles will be her direct responsibility. To be clear, hijack "committee" includes Saeb Shaath, Allison Hubbard (aka Vera Lynn), Douglass Myles (aka Gabriel Standish), Jez (Jethro) Cuthbert, and of course Cate Myles, Sammi Coulthard and Cath Jenkins.
Let it be clear that the Facebook slander that sufficed for the UK police to protect these criminals and convince some of you that I am a bad person was pathetically transparent in a court room and the judge appeared genuinely awed by Cate Myles claim to be the "owner" of these vehicles. The judge several times asked hijacker Myles how it was that she could claim ownership when "she had supplied nothing" to support her claim? But again, let us remember that these same bogus arguments worked fine for the corrupt UK police… so Cate Myles was emboldened to lie… continuously… on record and in writing Something I am so grateful for as the official court transcript will be the final nail in Cate Myles coffin proving that she is without doubt, a fraudster, thief and one who has willfully, intentionally perverted the course of justice.
Perverting the course of justice is a serious offence. It can only be tried on indictment and carries a maximum sentence of life imprisonment. The offence is committed where a person:
- does an act (a positive act or series of acts is required; mere inaction is insufficient)
- which has a tendency to pervert and
- which is intended to pervert
- the course of public justice.
Cate Myles claimed numerous times in court and in writing that Trade Not Aid was a "voluntary collective" and get this, that the stolen vehicles were the property of "the people of Gaza". Oblivious to her own bullshit she unashamedly claimed to be the self-appointed "owner" of the property of the "people of Gaza". In the course of this argument she supplied not one witness statement, not one bank statement, not one shred of evidence to support that she raised the money or bought the vehicles. It all came back to this illusory "voluntary collective" spiel that is code language for the hijack crew who conspired to steal the Trade Not Aid mission.
Let it be clear that, although I am directly responsible for raising the money to buy these vehicles, I am not now nor was I ever the "owner" of these vehicles, they are in fact the assets of the non-profit companies I formed, companies formed for the expressed and legally mandated benefit of the people of Gaza/Palestine. Aloha Palestine CIC and Samouni Project were formed for reasons of accountability and credibility and the fact that some people were so blind as to not see this only shows the gullibility of many so-called "allies" of Palestine. Let it be clear that I am happy to say good riddance to all those who have judged me negatively and falsely, especially given the fact that Zio/Facebook slander was the primary method of their Godlike judgement. Thank you to the idiots, thank you for exposing yourselves. I will take one known friend over ten thousand false ones any day.
So one step forward, but there is still the matter of the at least £20,000 that was deposited into Cate Myles account in trust for the Trade Not Aid mission. I have compiled a detailed and comprehensive report of 336 pages that exposes the sordid, criminal actions of the hijacking crew, and this evidence has been submitted by me personally to the Hamas Government in Gaza in September 2012. I can assure everyone reading this, that 336 page document makes painfully clear that Cate Myles has stolen this money and fraudulently claimed I was the criminal so as to deflect attention away from her.
While the police in the UK have protected Cate Myles from criminal prosecution here in the UK, I can tell you that the government in Gaza does not blindly swallow the rubbish that incessantly spews from the mouth of Ms. Myles. Evidence is evidence, slander is slander, and that is why I have offered to pay for Cate to travel to Gaza, all expenses paid. Will she take me up on this offer? Of course not, but please Ms. Cate, prove me wrong and take your slander and lies to Gaza and respond to the 336 pages of irrefutable evidence I have submitted to the authorities there.
What is needed now is a genuine revival of support for the Trade Not Aid mission and that means money to get the vehicles inspected, repaired if necessary, stored safely and prepared for the journey to Gaza. But this time I am not going to work seven days a week for free to make it happen. I accept the fact that it is not up to me, it is up to US. It is up to WE the people. I will work a reasonable amount of time, free of charge once again, but only when the money is raised to pay for drivers, and yes I mean paid drivers, will this mission go forward. How long it will take to get the needed funds to purchase the 'Made in Palestine' products for export to Europe and beyond is unknown to me and not up to me. It is up to US/WE the people.
So if you really want to make this happen, go to the following link;
Click the 'Donate' button and give something. Whether it is £5 or $5 or 50 or 500 is a matter for you to decide, but do not make an excuse. Forgive me my mistakes in trusting some horrible people and give so that these vehicles head to Gaza sooner rather than later.
To be clear, I will receive this money this time around, and has always been the case in the past, all of this money will be used for the stated purpose of the Trade Not Aid mission.
No joking, no fooling… as one of my respected brothers often says. It is time to put up or shut up. There are bee hives and textiles and computers and industrial sewing machines and educational materials and more waiting to be taken to Gaza and given to the Samouni kids and the good people of Gaza. There is a truckload of 'Made in Palestine' products waiting to be exported to Europe and beyond and while there are many worthy causes, this is a cause that should have happened long ago. Its time will come when WE make it so… so let's make it so.

Durbin is a cat's paw for Obama. Obama said right after the election that he was not wedded to his position, would compromise, and wanted more revenue, not an increase in tax RATES. Sellout?
We are advocating for an increase in tax rates for the richest 2% of Americans. We want those rates to return to levels during the Clinton administration, during which time we had a budget surplus. We are also urging Durbin to work for a small financial transaction tax that would raise billions in revenue from Wall Street. If the wealthy and large corporations pay their fair share we can afford to preserve our social safety net without continuing to grow the debt.

About NHS Leeds
With a budget of over £1 billion, NHS Leeds is one of the largest primary care trusts (PCT) in the country and commissions healthcare services for over 750,000 Leeds residents.
NHS Leeds (previously known as Leeds Primary Care Trust) was created on 1 October 2006, following the merger of Leeds North West, Leeds West, Leeds North East, East Leeds and South Leeds Primary Care Trusts (PCTs).
NHS Leeds employs around 700 staff in a wide range of occupations and professions. They hold contracts to provide services with independent contractors including 146 general practitioners (GP) surgeries, 104 dental practices, 165 pharmacies and 87 opticians. They also undertake a broad range of public health initiatives to improve the health and quality of life of local people.
On 1st October 2008 Leeds PCT changed their name to NHS Leeds, although their registered legal name is still Leeds Primary Care Trust. The name changed as a result of a national survey that showed that patients and the public were unclear about what primary care trusts are and do. Changing their name helped people recognise NHS Leeds as the organisation responsible for funding and planning NHS services in the city and improving the health and wellbeing of the local population.

As the second largest employer in the city, NHS Leeds is always recruiting. View NHS Leeds Jobs on their jobs page. More information on NHS Leeds is available on their website.

This is an excerpt from EERE Network News, a weekly electronic newsletter.
July 27, 2005
At Mid-Year, 2005 is Third-Warmest Year on Record
As of the end of June, 2005 is shaping up to be the third-warmest year on record in terms of average global temperatures. On July 14th, the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) released its mid-year summary of U.S. and global average temperatures, which found that the average global temperature for the first six months of the year was 1.04 degrees Fahrenheit above the long-term average; 1998, the warmest year on record, was 0.2 degrees higher. Last month was also the second warmest June on record and was the warmest June on record in terms of the temperatures over land. See the NCDC's "Climate of 2005."
July is not yet over, but it is shaping up to be a warm one in much of the United States. Utilities across the country have been hitting new record power demands in the heat; in California, the power grid operator declared a Stage Two electrical emergency for southern California on July 21st and again on July 22nd. A Stage Two is declared when operating reserves drop below five percent, leading the grid operator to request voluntary load reductions and the cycling of residential air conditioning systems. See the press releases from the California Independent System Operator.

Just caught up with latest Cornwall Council gossip on Graham Smith's blog to discover that Cllr Jan Powell has shaken the dust of the Tory group off her heels and joined the Lib Dems. As well as bit of a coup for new Lib Dem leader Jeremy Rowe (understandably chuffed in his blog) it will probably make for some interesting manoeuvring ahead over the Adult Health Overview and Scrutiny Committee.
As I wittered on here Jan Powell was the Chair of the AHOSC but recently removed by the volatile Tory leader Alec Robertson, who is said to have had legal advice (after two years) that having a daughter with learning disabilities made her unsuitable for the committee.
Most of the rest of us came to the conclusion that Jan was removed for doing her job too well and making sure health issues are scrutinised with an independent eye and with regard for people in Cornwall above party political interest. A leader in control of his party might simply have asked his representatives on the committee (who form a majority as it is politically balanced) to vote for another candidate but something tells me that he is not so sure that Independents – and even some Tories – are quite so obedient, so he had to remove her.
I last saw Jeremy Rowe scooting off for some legal advice and strongly suspect he got the answer he wanted and Alec Robertson's claim that legal advice made him take Jan Powell off the committee will look a bit silly when she is appointed from the Lib Dem group. And looking at the numbers on the committee, the Lib Dems could soon be chairing Adult Health Scrutiny, causing even more outbursts from the stressed out Leader.
Four Conservatives, four Independents, five Lib Dems and one Labour. I would vote for Jan, so it's 6 – 8. It will take 1 Indie to vote for Jan instead of the Tory Leader's choice for Chair to make it even and 2 to re-elect her. Will there be any tactical absences or stray votes? We'll have to wait until 26 July.

Causes of Suicide
Suicide will rank as the 10th top cause of death within the U.S (see below chart). Worldwide, around 700,000 individuals take their own lives yearly. In specific populations, like young adults and adolescents, suicide constitutes one of the leading three death causes. The phenomenon is all the more compelling due to, in most cases, suicides being prevented. Thus, clinicians have to realize the suicide risk factors as one method of intervening within a self-destructive cycle and event.

Ryan Summerfield's RBI single in the bottom of the ninth inning lifted Elkins to a 5-4 victory over Big 10 Conference foe North Marion Thursday night at the Elkins High School field.
Clayton Collett started the ninth by reaching on a bunt single and stealing second base.
After advancing to third on Silas Gibson's groundout, Summerfield came through with the game-winning hit.
The Tigers led 3-1 before the Huskies rallied to take a 4-3 cushion in the top of the seventh inning.
Elkins tied the game in the home-half of the frame when Jacob Wyatt's double plated Tyler Shreve.
Gibson had two RBIs in the third on a fielder's choice and an RBI single in the fifth.
Issac Riggleman earned the win in three innings of relief.
He allowed one run on two hits, struck out three and didn't issue a walk.
Tyler Scott started on the mound for the hosts. He went six innings, allowing three runs on five hits, striking out four and walking two batters.
Skyler Brooks was tagged with the loss for North Marion. He went the distance, striking out six and walking one.
"This was a good win for us," Elkins coach Adam Roth said. "We were able to regroup after losing the lead in the seventh and coming back with a run in the ninth to get the victory.
"We're starting to play together as a team right now."
The Tigers will play two games on Saturday, hosting Petersburg at noon and playing Preston later in the day.
Preston and Petersburg also will face one another.

A few years ago, I was back in Guadalajara, my hometown. I was dating an absolutely lovely girlfriend in USA, but I had planned to go back to Guadalajara.
One day, I had one of the most exciting days of my life when I met her again at the international airport of Guadalajara. Our hearts were fast and happy when we hold each others.
While she was in Guadalajara, I took her to downtown in Guadalajara in the middle of the nice fresh evening of the city. We visit some of the bar areas by the centro magno where she liked it a lot. At Casa Mariachi, we had some drinks while the mariachi was playing. There were some songs that touched her heart deeply. I took her hand and with my brown eyes told her that "she is the love of my life".
The cool weather was inviting us to hold each other in the middle of the plaza like two teens in love.
There are so many places that I wish I could take her but we run out of time at the moment. However, I do believe that will be a another chance in this or other life.

Geometry Introduction
Knowing all the different properties of lines and shapes is important. But if we're truly going to rule the world of geometry, we need to be the absolute overlords of it. We're talking about a level of omnipotence that makes the very universe quake with fear.
We need to know how to create constructions.
It might sound like we're hammering up drywall and fixing the plumbing, but knowing how to construct shapes is a crucial skill in the world of geometry. How else can you create, change, and destroy geometric shapes at will?
Constructions are helpful, too, especially when proofs seem to be going nowhere. The simple addition of a perpendicular or angle bisector might change a frustrating triangle problem into a much simpler proof than you may have realized. Cutting things in half often does that.
You don't need any fancy rulers, protractors, or high-tech computer algorithms to make these shapes, either. Just pick up an old-school straightedge and compass, and the geometric world is your oyster-shaped construction.

The .41 Magnum was introduced in 1964 by the Remington Arms Company as a center fire revolver cartridge that could be used for hunting and law enforcement. At that time, most of the gun critics were quick to say that the .44 Magnum was just "too much gun" for police use.
The .357 Magnum was effective at close range, but in the middle 60s, this cartridge had some shortcomings. Jacketed hollow-point and soft-point bullets were not commonly available, and most manufacturers' standard loading for this round was just simple lead bullets. The high velocities needed for law enforcement often ended up leading the barrels in just a few rounds.
Revolvers chambered for the big .44 were considered too bulky and heavy for a police officer to carry around in a day's work. The noise from a .44 magnum is deafening, and I have fired enough of them to know.
There were two different initial factory loadings introduced by Remington. The first was a jacketed 210-grain soft-point bullet. The velocity was an advertised 1,500 feet per second from a revolver with an 8 3/8-inch barrel. This round would be good for deer or black bear hunting at close range. The second loading was a 210-grain lead bullet at 1,050 feet-per-second with the same barrel length. This was intended for law enforcement use.
The .41 Magnum filled the gap in ballistic performance between the .357 and .44 Magnums. While I have never fired a .41 Magnum revolver, I have talked to a few people who have. One person who had been a West Virginia State Policeman was quick to say the .41 is a more pleasant round to shoot than the .44. The recoil was easier to control, and the low velocity loading did not hurt your ears.
The .41 magnum never achieved the popularity of the .357 or the .44 Magnums, but it is well liked by the hand gunners who have had experience with it. Unlike the .357 revolver that can also fire .38 Special ammunition or the .44 Magnum that can fire .44 Special ammunition, the .41 Magnum can only fire .41 Magnum ammo. It will not interchange with the old or obsolete .41 Long Colt.
In 1964, Smith & Wesson introduced its heavy Model 57 Target revolver and a lighter Model 58 in .41 Magnum. The Model 58, manufactured for the law enforcement market, came only with a four-inch barrel and weighed 41 ounces. This was a quality revolver; it just did not appeal to the vast majority of law enforcement officers. One reason for this may have been the sights on this model. The rear sight was a square notch in the frame. The front sight was just a rise in the barrel steel. I think if Smith & Wesson had put adjustable sights on this model similar to the Model 19 combat Magnum, the sales would have been better.
Over the years, the .41 Magnum has been chambered in other revolvers like the Ruger single-action Blackhawk, the Dan Wesson Model 15, and the single-shot Thompson Center Contender. Marlin has also chambered one or two short-barreled carbines for this cartridge. I do not think any of the guns chambered for this fine cartridge have been good sellers. This is most unfortunate, because this could possibly have been the ideal handgun cartridge ever manufactured for both hunting and law enforcement use.

Below are two hand loads for the .41 Remington Magnum:
1. Case Any make
Primer CCI-350 (Large Pistol Magnum)
Bullet 210-grain Sierra Flat Nose
Powder & Weight Hodgdon 110; 19.5 grains
Note: Good hunting load in a revolver with a 6-inch barrel or longer
2. Case Any make
Primer Remington 2 1/2 (Large Pistol)
Bullet 210 Lead Remington Flat Point
Powder & Weight Unique; 9.5 grains
Note: Good for home defense and law enforcement

Can Marissa Mayer Have it All?
Can women have it all? That thorny issue, which lit up the Internet and living rooms last month thanks to an Atlantic article by super-accomplished mother Anne-Marie Slaughter is about to play out in real life on a very high-profile stage.
Enter former Google exec, Marissa Mayer.
According to AllThingsD, Marissa Mayer's pregnancy was apparently "not an issue" for Yahoo's board when they appointed her to be its president and chief executive.
You've got to be kidding. How could it not be? They must be the most evolved board on Earth. Or a group of people in extreme denial. As much as we might like to pretend that a woman can just pop out a baby and get right back to her pre-pregnancy life, it just isn't so. And it shouldn't be.
Mayer told Fortune she plans to take a maternity leave of a few weeks and "work throughout it." Marissa, don't do it! Having a newborn is a special time and it goes so fast. Enjoy this opportunity to get to know your baby. There's also the matter of recovering from a physical trauma, hormones on overdrive and the temporary psychosis brought on by sleep deprivation. A baby doesn't care if you're a corporate superstar.
I would counsel any friend to take as long a leave as she can and bond as much as possible with her baby. (Of course, Mayer isn't the kind of person I'd know in my everyday life, and doesn't need my advice.)
However, she is in a bit of a bind. She can't linger at home when Yahoo shareholders are waiting for a transformation. Mayer is accomplished, glamorous, brilliant, powerful, a pioneer in a male-dominated industry and wealthy enough to afford any help she might need. But she's still human.
As all working parents know, when it comes to balancing work and family, something has to give.
For Mayer, I think that at least initially, being a mom will take a backseat and running Yahoo will take priority. She will have no shortage of top-flight care for her baby son, and perhaps her husband might choose to stay at home. But one of the reasons we have kids is to spend time with them, right?
As a working mom myself, I support the right and desire (and for many of us, the need) for any woman to return to work after having a child, to be treated as a professional and not be "mommy tracked." We still have ambitions and professional desires, even as parents.
But as any working mother can tell you, priorities change.
Many people envision a baby as an adorable, babbling accessory. I know I did. I thought that I'd be able to keep up with hobbies, friends and my prior work hours. It didn't work out that way. And I'm not a CEO. Children are adorable, loud, troublesome, fun, creative, hilarious and a lot of hard work.
They are essentially houseguests who never leave. Life doesn't go back to normal after you have a child, it becomes different, forever.

This is one of the most inspiring Senior / Account Manager roles that we have had the pleasure to work on recently… this role needs a sparky, sharp minded, inquisitive yet very down to earth agency person – someone who just gets Customer Driven marketing. It is totally perfect for someone who loves brands & creative but also gets a buzz from work with planning & strategy and finding out how customers minds tick and seeing campaigns happen. You may be an Account Manager or a newly appointed SAM or maybe someone cusping Account Director - either way this role could work..
The Agency is hugely thought of - confident place, dynamic and forward thinking environment, very creative and sociable but not one bit arrogant - just great fun and down to earth and full of like minded people..
The team - we love this team - they genuinely combine being able to have fun with the ability to deliver some of the best thought through campaigns around - you are so well supported here - not so much that you don't have autonomy but enough to allow you the confidence to grow and develop. They don't micro manage but they do inspire - this is a team that always recognises your efforts and says thank you but will stretch your mind at the same time - it has such great management that you will feel like you are both challenged and supported at the same time - it really is an enviable place to be.
You get to work on one of the agency's key accounts; helping shape and direct insightful creative campaigns that really add value to your clients business – it is all B2C, both offline and digital and really lends itself to someone who is able to deliver, efficiently but who genuinely wants to do more strategy before stepping into the shoes of an Account Director.
Would suit an ambitious, proactive and bubbly Senior Account Manager who gets customer engagement and who is confident in their knowledge already but relishes the opportunity of learning and being highly mentored.
Agency experience is essential
Please send your details ASAP to email@example.com - we would love to hear from you if this has sparked some interest... thank you for looking and good luck with your search

It's called the "Biggest Week in American Birding," and for good reason.
The second annual event, which will be held May 5-15 at the Black Swamp Bird Observatory near Oak Harbor, will bring thousands of birding enthusiasts and millions of dollars into the BSBO and to Northwest Ohio, according to Kim Kaufman, executive director of the BSBO.
Oregon stands to lose hundreds of thousands of dollars if Gov. John Kasich's proposed biennial budget is approved, according to Matt Szollosi, state representative from the 49th district.
"The impact to the City of Oregon through the proposed budget is a loss of $900,000 for the two year period. The big hit is in a reduction in the local government fund," said Szollosi. "The fund would be reduced by 25-percent the first year, followed by a 50-percent cut in the second year of the biennial budget."
Officials in the Village of Woodville say they'll look first to enacting spending cuts in the police department if a 7.4-mill property tax levy on Tuesday's ballot isn't renewed.
The levy generates about $332,519 annually and is the major source of funds for the village's general fund, according to Barb Runion, village clerk-treasurer, and costs the owner of a home with an appraised value of $100,000 about $259 a year.
Area school district in Wood, Ottawa, and Sandusky counties will be on the ballot Tuesday with revenue requests.
In Wood County, the Eastwood Local School District is seeking renewal of a 1 percent, 5-year income tax issue.
The district recently announced plans to reduce the budget by $650,000 for the 2011-12 school year. The austerity plan includes laying off employees and reducing hours.
Oregon Mayor Mike Seferian has tabled a proposed agreement with Law Director Paul Goldberg that would rehire him at a reduced salary following his retirement from the position on April 30.
Some on council at a meeting on April 25 wanted to review the details of the agreement before voting on it.
The deal calls for the city to pay Goldberg an annual salary of $49,000 for two years. Council has already approved his retirement at a previous meeting in April, which becomes effective on April 30. After that date, Goldberg would have to stop working for the city for 60 days, then would be re-employed by the city as law director under the new terms of his contract.

Gas prices have finally fallen below $2 per gallon where I live, but that's still a fortune compared to what some motorists in Ohio encountered over the weekend. A computer glitch of some sort made the price at a Pilot Travel Center plummet as low as a few pennies, which attracted opportunistic shoppers. Then the Circle K across the street decided to keep up with their competitors by lowering their prices, too. [More]
Computerized Gas Station Price War Takes Prices Down To A Few Pennies In Ohio
Price War: Several Michigan Gas Stations Sold Gas For Under $1/Gallon
It might sound unbelievable, after years of high gas prices, but it finally happened again: gas fell below $1 per gallon… in one part of the country, at a few stations, for one weekend. [More]
42 Million Drivers Likely Grateful They'll Be Paying Lowest Thanksgiving Gas Prices Since 2008
The roads are going to be crowded this Thanksgiving, with 42 million drivers expected to travel the highways and byways of the U.S. According to AAA, they'll be enjoying the lowest prices at the gas pump for the holiday since 2008.
AAA: Gas Could Fall Below $2 Per Gallon Nationwide Just In Time For Christmas
While we're not sure how Santa Claus will be able to bring this present down the chimney, everyone with a car could be getting something very special this year: AAA says the national average for a gallon of gas could fall below $2 just in time for Christmas.
Why Lower Gas Prices Are Really Good For Restaurants
When gasoline prices fall, that means that consumers who drive have more money to spend on things other than fuel. The JPMorgan Chase Institute, a global economics think tank affiliated with the bank, analyzed their customer credit and debit card data to figure out what we did with all of those savings. It may not surprise you that most of it didn't go into our retirement accounts. [More]
Cheap Gas Prices Could Mean Travel Headaches This Labor Day Weekend
While we've all been dancing around at the gas pump over the news that fuel prices are cheap nationwide right now on average and will keep dropping until it's below $2 a gallon, there's a potential down side to the cheap gas glory: an estimated 35.5 million Americans will hit the road for Labor Day weekend, spurred in part by the low cost of gas. More people driving translates into more cars on the road, which could mean you'll be stuck playing car games while waiting for traffic to move.
You Can Buy Gas For Under $2 Per Gallon In At Least 12 States Right Now
A few weeks ago, we heard gas prices would probably start dipping below $2 per gallon in many parts of the country as soon as this fall. And in some states, those low prices can already be found at some gas stations. But even so, given the price of crude oil right now, gas should be even cheaper, experts say.
Gas Prices Get Low, Stay Low: You Could Be Paying Under $2 Per Gallon Soon
If you're planning an end-of-the-summer road trip, you're in luck: Gas prices across the country are pretty low right now, dropping about 6% in the last month to just $2.59 a gallon on average. But if you're planning to hit the highways and byways this fall, your luck is about to get even better at the pump, as experts say gas prices could fall below $2 a gallon next month.
This Summer's Gas Prices Predicted To Be At Their Lowest In Six Years
As if there wasn't enough to celebrate with the impending arrival of summer, road trip vacations will be even better this year with gasoline predicted to be at its cheapest in at least six years. Perfect for when you finally decide to drive across the country to visit that giant ball of [insert weird thing to make a giant ball out of] in [state far away from where you live].
This Taxi Driver's Business Secret: Bootleg Venezuelan Gas
When you live on an island, things that have to be imported are expensive. For example, on the Caribbean island of Aruba, gasoline costs more than $4 per gallon. That would make it fairly expensive to be a full-time taxi driver, wouldn't it? Yes, if it weren't for one driver's brilliant yet illegal trade secret: sailing to Venezuela with a bunch of gas cans. [More]
25 States Could Have Sub-$2 Gas This Month
More than one-third of states already have some gas options that will cost drivers less than $2/gallon, and a new report says it's possible that this could increase to half of the country in the coming weeks. [More]
Gov't Forecast: The Average Driver Will Save $550 On Gas Next Year
After so much pain at the pump in recent years, it's got to be sweet relief for drivers to hear that 2015 might be easier on the old wallet. A report from the federal government says the average driver will save $550 on gas next year compared to 2014.
Gas Station Owners Aren't Passing Their Savings On To Consumers
You may have noticed prices gradually falling at your neighborhood gas station over the last few months, what you may not know is that the price of oil has been falling even faster than that. Why aren't station owners passing the savings on to drivers? They're in a generally low-margin business, and we're all still buying gas anyway. [More]
Ease The Pain Of Gas Price Increases And Boost Your Savings
When gas prices rise, people who do a lot of driving feel it in their wallets. It hurts a lot. What if you could lessen the pain of fluctuations and put together a tiny nest egg in the process? That's the idea behind the $4 Gas Savings Club.
You Will Probably Never Pay Less Than $3 For A Gallon Of Gas Ever Again
Almost half of adults in this country think that gas is too expensive when it's more than $3 per gallon, which means those people have some adjusting to do: AAA says the national average price of gasoline will be over that mark for the 1,000th consecutive day as of, well, today. And it's probably going to stay that way for a very long time. [More]
Now That You're Done With Your Summer Travels, Gas Prices Are Lower Than Last Year's
After a summer during which the average gas price in the U.S. was frequently higher than what consumers paid 12 months earlier, the last few weeks have seen a leveling off of prices at the pump. In fact, the average price per gallon is the lowest it's been in a few years. Of course, this happens after you spend your retirement savings driving the kids to Wally World for vacation. [More]
Ford & EPA Try To Figure Out Why C-Max, Fusion Aren't Getting Advertised MPG
Following last week's announcement that Consumer Reports' real-world fuel-economy testing of Ford's C-Max and Fusion hybrid vehicles showed these cars are not getting the 47 mpg touted by the car maker, both Ford and the Environmental Protection Agency have said they are looking into the matter. [More]
Tests Show Ford Fusion, C-Max Hybrid Are Not Getting Close To 47 MPG
Watch ads for the 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid sedan or its C-Max Hybrid wagon and you'll hear that the vehicles get 47 miles per gallon (highway and city combined), which sounds awfully nice considering the cost of gasoline. But real-road tests of these cars don't seem to back those numbers up. [More]

That Mark Gatiss can't do any wrong these days. Not content with starring in one of the most talked about comedy series of recent years (The League Of Gentlemen), he's written and appeared in Doctor Who, and now news reaches me from the ITV press office that he's penned a new Poirot film. He's also adapting his terrific Lucifer Box novels for the small screen too (see story here).
Not surprisingly, ITV is quite keen to flag this up – these classy detective stories starring David Suchet always pull in big numbers. Gatiss has adapted Cat Among The Pigeons (the second of four new Agatha Christie adaptations), and the stories see the impressively-moustachioed sleuth deal with international espionage and a Middle Eastern revolution. Gatiss says of the project: "I've always loved Agatha Christie and read the books religiously when I was younger. When I was asked if I might consider adapting one, it was like pushing on an open door! It's been a sheer delight and I know that, in David's exceptional Poirot, my script is in the very best hands."

IAEA Chief: Iran Nuclear Energy Program Peaceful
From Press TV
In an interview with the Russian daily Rossiyskaya Gazeta on Sunday, Amano confirmed that a large number of nuclear energy facilities in Iran are under IAEA supervision and are used for peaceful purposes.
The UN nuclear chief noted that many high-level IAEA missions have visited Iran's nuclear energy facilities so far and the agency's reports do not say that Iran has nuclear weapons.
The IAEA will hold a new round of talks with Iran on the country's nuclear energy program on December 13, 2012.
The last round of negotiations between Iran and the IAEA was held in the Austrian capital of Vienna on August 24, 2012.

Departing Disney Digital Exec Looks Back, Forward
By Ben Fritz
John Pleasants, a video game and digital business veteran who has been co-president of Disney Interactive since 2010, has been pushed out of the company as his business partner Jimmy Pitaro was selected by Walt Disney Chief Executive Robert Iger to run the unit.
A former CEO of Ticketmaster and chief operating officer of Electronic Arts, Pleasants joined Disney in 2010 when it acquired social games maker Playdom Inc. where he was serving as CEO.
He spoke to the Wall Street Journal about what he accomplished at Disney, what's left to do and his priorities in this next job. Edited excerpts:
On what he accomplished over the past three years: It has all been about closing console studios and focusing on one big platform ["Disney Infinity"].
I've focused on the Asian business; we built up our mobile business in Japan. We have a studio in Seoul working on "Kingdom Hearts Online." We have new deals with minimum guarantees. We outsourced our "Star Wars" business to EA.
On Disney's mobile strategy: We're rebuilding Club Penguin so it can go mobile–there's a huge focus on mobile here.
Our mobile network averages 11 million people a day and serves the whole Walt Disney Company. It's great to be a top publisher in terms of downloads (Disney was ranked No. 3 in October according to AppAnnie). We need to be a Top Ten revenue driver. Right now we're in the twenties. We need to fortify the monetization side by leveraging the IP we have.
On Playdom and social games: We put out two games that have been very, very successful: "Gardens of Time" and "Avengers: Alliance." Our game "Words of Wonder" is synchronized with a mobile app and doing really well on mobile too. It's an example of we have we have built up a real mobile capability within that social business. Now as you look forward, every game will have social and mobile applications.
In the gaming business, two things are not growing: Console is down 7% this year and social is largely flat. In that environment, we have not been immune and we have had to staff up to go mobile. While doing that, we're carrying an infrastructure that is putting us at consistent losses in that division. Now of the six gaming groups I oversee, Playdom is the one that's probably still challenged in finding it way to a profit.
We could have been maybe a little more aggressive in rightsizing and focusing on making fewer games and using IP from the Walt Disney Company to give us a strategic advantage.
We have had success with Marvel's "Avengers Alliance," which is a big, core brand. So is "Star Wars." Between those two, you can imagine taking the social and mobile areas to use IPs that are great for gaming. That is a strategic direction that gives me great confidence in these divisions going into 2014.
How significant has the launch of "Infinity" been for the division? It has been very significant. We have sold one million starter packs. There's also a toy business attached to it that has been doing well. It's a worldwide phenomenon. It is doing well in every single territory.
"Infinity" has given new strength and confidence to the whole division. It is a product that alone can do between one-third and one-half the revenue of the entire division. It's the biggest driver of economics we've had.
We're very pleased but there's no victory parade. The holidays are important and next year is important too. What it can mean if it's sustainable is a very big deal. Right now it's largely a packaged good toy. We put out an iPad app. We're putting out a mobile app. We're putting out our online version. These will all be synced and become live services. When you think about that stuff coming into this product line, it should be able to sustain itself for a minimum of four years.
What he will look for in his next job: The only question I'm going to have is that it has to be in the Bay Area. I don't want to do a round trip to Los Angeles every week again.

100ml Whole Milk

4. While the soup is boiling, heat some olive oil/butter and fry the extra bacon until its crispy.

- Make it creamier by adding a bit more cream
- Make it vegetarian by getting rid of the bacon and top the soup with croutons

PARKERSBURG - A Waverly woman and life-long Democrat on Tuesday was named a co-chairman of a campaign group for the Republican nominee for governor.
Toni Fleming with Bill Renzelli of Harrison County will lead the Democrats for Maloney in Republican Bill Maloney's campaign against incumbent Democrat Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin.
"I told him I would do anything I can to help him win," Fleming said. "I got involved with Bill Maloney the first time he ran," Fleming said. "I really liked him."
Maloney is a Morgantown businessman who first ran for governor in a special election in 2011 against Tomblin, a Democrat from Logan County who was president of the Senate, for the unexpired term ending this year.
"He's a businessman. It's like he's in it for the people. He's not in it for the politics," Fleming said. "That's what I liked about him."
This is Fleming's first foray into statewide politics, other than helping state Sen. Donna Boley, R-Pleasants. She is a life-long Democrat.
Fleming believes there are many Democrats who believe as she does and will cross the party line and support the Republican Maloney.
"I think there is," she said. "Of course, you can never tell when you go into the voting booth."
The Republicans are good at publicity of this sort, said Harold Brown, chairman of the Wood County Democratic Party.
"I have to hand it to the Republicans," Brown said. "They don't miss any of the angles."
However, while there's Democrats who support Maloney, there are Republicans who like Tomblin, Brown said.
"There's also Republicans who don't care for Maloney," he said.
The Maloney campaign also issued a release on Tuesday. Fleming cited coal, improving education and job creation.
"In times like these, party labels don't matter," she said. "We need a governor who will take action to solve the problems facing our state."
Maloney was the 2011 Republican nominee for governor of West Virginia. His company designed the apparatus that carried 33 trapped miners in Chile to safety.
