Full-Body Scanners to Fry Travelers With Radiation

http://noworldsystem.com/2009/12/31/full-body-scanners-to-fry-travelers-with-radiation/
Virtually all passengers and airline crews who pass through airport screening checkpoints in the U.S. may soon be forced to submit to compulsory, whole-body X-ray exposure.

A path has been cleared for the government to publicly roll out dangerous full-body scanners after the failed terrorist attempt on flight 253. Neocons are quaking for the government to implement the human x-ray machines on a nationwide scale, radiating travelers with unhealthy amounts of ionic radiation all for the sake of preventing the next Mutallab from boarding another U.S. airliner.

No Rise of Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide Fraction in Past 160 Years, New Research Finds

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/12/091230184221.htm
New research finds that the airborne fraction of carbon dioxide has not increased either during the past 150 years or during the most recent five decades, contrary to some recent studies.

Most of the carbon dioxide emitted by human activity does not remain in the atmosphere, but is instead absorbed by the oceans and terrestrial ecosystems.

Quick! Lets get this info over to the Council on Foreign Relations who published The Geoengineering Option: The Last Resort Against Global Warming which says, "Eliminating all the risks of climate change is impossible because carbon dioxide emissions, the chief human contribution to global warming, are unlike conventional air pollutants, which stay in the atmosphere for only hours or days. Once carbon dioxide enters the atmosphere, much of it remains for over a hundred years."

Oh and certainly goes against what this dude says....

Obama administration prepares public opinion for attack on Yemen

http://www.wsws.org/articles/2009/dec2009/yeme-d31.shtml
Five days after the unsuccessful attempt by a Nigerian student to set off a bomb aboard a Detroit-bound passenger jet, US military and intelligence officials are said to be preparing expanded military action against targets in Yemen, the Arab country where the student allegedly received terrorist training and was equipped with an explosive device.

A series of US media reports suggest that new US-backed military attacks inside Yemen are imminent. Citing “two senior US officials,” CNN reported: “The US and Yemen are now looking at fresh targets for a potential retaliation strike.”

Trial Transcript Reveals Agent Provacatuer Hal Turner was "National Security Intelligence" and an "FBI Agent"

http://family-of-hal-turner.blogspot.com/2009/12/trial-transcript-reveals-hal-turner-was.html
Brooklyn, NY -- The trial of radio host Hal Turner lead to some startling revelations which the media has barely covered. We have obtained the official Transcript of the trial and provide some details that you may find interesting.

According to Assistant Special Agent in Charge (ASAC) Amy Pickett, the third highest ranking FBI Official in New York City, Hal Turner was involved in "National Security Intelligence." According to Pickett's testimony whioch appears in a scanned image of the official Trial transcript below, Hal Turner dealt with "National Securtity Intelligence, terrorism and foreign counterintelligence" while he serveed with the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF).

For those who don't know the story.. Hal Turner was a FBI trained agent provocateur. “His job was basically to publish information which would cause other parties to act in a manner which would lead to their arrest,” Michael Orozco told the Associated Press.

Hal Turner specifically attempted to appeal to the patriot movement and the constitutionalists.

Turner told his blog readers to “take up arms” against Connecticut lawmakers. He also said government officials should “obey the Constitution or die.” In June he wrote that the Illinois federal appeals judges “deserve to be killed” because they issued a ruling that upheld ordinances in Chicago and suburban Oak Park banning handguns. Turner included photos of the judges and the room numbers of their chambers at the courthouse.

It should serve as a wake-up call that the FBI trained him as an agent provocateur.

eyewitness: "the FBI has changed their story AGAIN": Officials Claim Second Man Unrelated To Christmas Attack

http://www.detnews.com/article/20091230/METRO/912300417/Second-airport-arrest-unrelated-to-attack

“Federal officials did take a second person into custody at Detroit Metropolitan Airport shortly after an attempted bombing incident on Northwest Airlines Flight 253, but the passenger who got handcuffed was off a different flight, and the incident was not related, a U.S. Customs and Border Protection official said today,” reports the Detroit News.

Wait, so at first the FBI denied that there even was a second man. Then yesterday officials changed the story and admitted a second man was detained after several eyewitnesses came forward and said there was. Now officials say the second arrest is unrelated to Flight 253. 

How come days later when FBI agents interviewed eyewitness Kurt Haskell, did they show him photographs of the well dressed Indian man, suggesting they knew or suspected he was connected to the incident? 

How about the FBI release the video of the airport terminal? 

Comment by Lori Haskell (eyewitness):

This is Lori Haskell. Even more disturbing info came out today on mLive. Now the FBI has changed their story AGAIN and is stating that a second man from our flight was NOT arrested, that it was actually a guy from another flight and that many flights were walking thru our area of customs. This is a total lie. The man we saw detained stood by us and exited the plane with us. Also, the area we were standing in had been emptied before we got there and nobody but us and police/customs/FBI were there. This is getting really scary for us. The FBI is very obviously covering something up for some reason. Anyway, thanks for the supportive posts.

 

Tea Party activists bitter about GOP ‘hijacking’ movement

 http://rawstory.com/2009/12/maddow-gop-lobbyist-attempt-to-hijack-tea-party-movement/
As Raw Story reported last month, the firm's apparent goal is to channel populist Tea Party discontent into Republican electoral victories in 2010 and 2012. Members of the more genuinely grassroots Tea Party Patriots have been expressing their anger over this for months, and Talking Points Memo has now obtained an email from one Patriot asking, "What would the true grassroots people think if they knew their money is being spent in this manner?"

Hummingbird bot could track crooks, explore Mars

http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-10422681-1.html
Researchers at Japan's Chiba University are developing a hummingbird-style flying robot that could be used to find people trapped in collapsed buildings, search for criminals, or even explore other planets.

Engineering professor Hiroshi Liu said the micro air vehicle, or MAV, is equipped with a mini motor that allows it to flap its wings up to 30 times per second--roughly in the same range as a hummingbird.

New York Bans Backpacks in Times Square During New Year Celebration

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=a.8BZwVod.FI
Dec. 31 (Bloomberg) -- New York is banning backpacks in Times Square, Bangkok tightened security and Sydney cracked down on public drinking as police around the world geared up for millions of New Year’s Eve revelers.

The cities said the extra police presence was in the works even before the arrest this week of a 23-year-old Nigerian for trying to blow up a Northwest Airlines jet. An al-Qaeda group took responsibility for the attempt and threatened more attacks.

Keepin' the fear flowing like the salmon of capistrano...
