Daniel Estulin's "True Story of the Bilderberg Group" and What They May Be Planning Now
by Stephen Lendman
For over 14 years, Daniel Estulin has investigated and researched the Bilderberg Group's far-reaching influence on business and finance, global politics, war and peace, and control of the world's resources and its money.
His book, "The True Story of the Bilderberg Group," was published in 2005 and is now updated in a new 2009 edition. He states that in 1954, "the most powerful men in the world met for the first time" in Oosterbeek, Netherlands, "debated the future of the world," and decided to meet annually in secret. They called themselves the Bilderberg Group with a membership representing a who's who of world power elites, mostly from America, Canada, and Western Europe with familiar names like David Rockefeller, Henry Kissinger, Bill Clinton, Gordon Brown, Angela Merkel, Alan Greenspan, Ben Bernanke, Larry Summers, Tim Geithner, Lloyd Blankfein, George Soros, Donald Rumsfeld, Rupert Murdoch, other heads of state, influential senators, congressmen and parliamentarians, Pentagon and NATO brass, members of European royalty, selected media figures, and invited others - some quietly by some accounts like Barack Obama and many of his top officials.
PA arrests Palestinian journalist Awadh Rajoub
from: Khalid Amayreh
Al-Khalil, West Bank:
The Palestinian Authority (PA) security apparatus on Monday arrested Palestinian journalist Awadh Rajoub.
Rajoub, a correspondent of al-Jazeera.net in occupied Palestine, was summoned by telephone to the offices of the PA "military intelligence" in Hebron where he was arrested.
PA officials refused to say why Rajoub was arrested. However it is widely believed that the arrest was in connection with a report he wrote on the assassination by Israeli troops last week of Abdul Majid Dudeen, a prominent resistance fighter affiliated with Hamas military wing, the Izzedin al Qassam Brigades.
Grand Theft Auto: How Stevie the Rat bankrupted GM
by Greg Palast
Screw the autoworkers.
They may be crying about General Motors' bankruptcy today. But dumping 40,000 of the last 60,000 union jobs into a mass grave won't spoil Jamie Dimon's day.
Dimon is the CEO of JP Morgan Chase bank. While GM workers are losing their retirement health benefits, their jobs, their life savings; while shareholders are getting zilch and many creditors getting hosed, a few privileged GM lenders - led by Morgan and Citibank - expect to get back 100% of their loans to GM, a stunning $6 billion.
For God's sake, Let them be Sad
Gilad Atzmon
As part of their racist campaign against the indigenous Palestinians, Israeli lawmakers are now insisting upon making the commemoration of the Nakba illegal. Recently a number of Israeli cabinet and Knesset Members proposed a "draft law" that would criminalize the remembrance of 1948 Palestinian holocaust (Nakba) by Palestinians holding Israeli citizenship. Interestingly enough, the Jewish state that sets its raison d'être around the remembrance of Jewish suffering is attempting to ban Palestinians from doing exactly the same with their own.
As we know, Israel had wiped out every possible remnant of Palestinian existence on the ground. Palestinian villages, towns, orchards, fields and cultural assets had been erased soon after 1948. Currently, the Israeli lawmakers are taking the war against the Palestinian heritage one step further. It is not just a physical expulsion and erasure of facts on the ground, it is not just racially motivated ethnic cleansing, starvation, land confiscation, house demolition, bombing schools or spreading white phosphorous over populated neighbourhoods, from now on, Israel wants to invade the Palestinian mind. Israeli Knesset members insist upon eradicating the Palestinian collective memory. At least formally, they are trying to ban the right to remember.
Fluoride Supplements: Another Ineffective Drug with Unwanted Side Effects
Paul Beeber
"There is weak and inconsistent evidence that the use of fluoride supplements prevents dental caries [cavities] in primary teeth," according to a systematic review of fluoride supplement research published in the November 2008 Journal of the American Dental Association.
The authors could find only one study, from China, showing any fluoride cavity-preventing benefit to primary teeth and that study was probably biased with a high withdrawal rate, the authors write.
Reaching Out to the College Community
Stephen Crockett
I believe that Democratic organizations, progressive groups and labor unions need to increase their outreach efforts aimed at American colleges and universities. Campuses provide a very large percentage of campaign volunteers. They are the source of nearly all future opinion-makers including journalists, book authors, officeholders, business leaders and policy experts!
ORGANIC FOODS - THE ULTIMATE PREVENTIVE MEDICINE
Allen L Roland
Organic foods will not only keep you healthy and help you live longer but will improve your skin, maintain your optimum weight, increase your energy and reverse your aging process as they most certainly have mine: Allen L Roland
In this time of growing economic hardship, good health becomes our paramount concern. We cannot afford to get sick ~ as health care costs continue to soar.
In that regard, my life partner, Keiko, has introduced me to the ultimate preventive medicine ~ the joy of raw organic foods and my health has improved dramatically but especially my skin to the extent that I look at least 15 years younger.
Keiko says ~ " Do we Eat to live? or Live to Eat? What we eat deeply and radically affects the way we think, feel, and behave. We are what we eat. Food affects every aspect of our being. Food is the physical foundation of our body. When you give your body healthy-vibrant food, it will function amazingly.
THE UNIFIED FIELD
Allen L Roland

The basic underlying and uniting force of the universe is a psychic energy field of love and soul consciousness ( the Unified Field ) which lies not only beyond time and space but ALSO beneath our deepest fears ~ and whose principle property is the universal urge to unite:
If you google The Unified Field ~ you will note 2.8 million references and my Unified Field is number three behind Wikipedia and a scientific description of the Unified Field ~ describing the Unified Field as a unification of the four fundamental forces of nature which are Electromagnetic, Gravity, the Strong Force and the Weak force in the atom.
