It does not take a majority to prevail... but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men. -Samuel Adams Wednesday Evening - December 23, 2009

Another day is slipping by ... could use a bunch more hours! Tomorrow is Christmas Eve ... but sounds like the spenders in Washington DC will be trying to give the corporate-government news media something to talk about tomorrow. Personally, when those politicians want to rush, rush, rush you know they aren't up to any good for the American taxpayer. Keeping the focus of the sheeple's focus on Obamacare is a very good distraction from the Chinese walking away from financing Washington DC's debt. What can you say?

Recently, the city began using technology that allows a police car to "read" about 3,000 license plates per shift and check them against multiple databases. With the Automated License Plate Recognition system, a camera mounted on a police car can scan the plates of nearby cars as the cruiser passes by. The system can track down fugitives, missing people, stolen vehicles or vehicles on the city's tow list because of unpaid parking tickets. Police have installed the system in one police vehicle so far, soon to be two. The system can scan one plate per second, even at speeds of 50 mph. During two days of testing, police read more than 3,000 plates, cited vehicles for improper registration and impounded them for outstanding parking tickets, Chief Tom Casady said ... read more Nebraska spending Web site expanded to include state payments State Treasurer Shane Osborn has expanded the Web site on Nebraska state spending he created to include a searchable checkbook that shows 1.76 million payments made in the 2008-09 fiscal year.

SurvivalBlog.com StanDeyo.com 100 Items to Disappear First Sprouting Five Amazing Health Benfits Of Chocolate For hundreds of years chocolate (really cocoa) has been a beloved sweet food, really more of a treat. Despite the delicious nature of chocolate, we have been told that it is unhealthy and should be avoided. But maybe chocolate isn’t as unhealthy as you’ve been told. In fact, chocolate has a wealth of health benefits that most people are unaware of. Let’s explore just a few of them. Muscle recovery A study performed at the James Madison University, showed that athletes who consumed chocolate milk on a regular basis, had an equal or greater rate of muscle recovery time after exercise. The chocolate milk also gave the athletes a chance to recover some of the minerals, vitamins and fluid that was lost previously. Source Brain Booster A study presented at the American Association for the Advancement of Science in San Francisco, suggests that cocoa may actually improve memory and brain function while decreasing the decline of brain function, particularly with old age. Source Circulatory benefits A host of studies prove the circulatory benefits of chocolate. While many chemicals contribute to these benefits., the main benefits seem to be coming from epicatechin, which reduces blood pressure while working as an anti-oxidant. These circulatory benefits seems to be wide reaching within the body and contribute to both mental and physical health. Some studies even suggest that chocolate can reduce cholesterol and even reduce the risk of having a heart attack. Source Mood Enhancement Chocolate contains a chemical called pheny ethylamine, a mild mood elevator. This chemical helps to release endorphins in your brain giving you an extra boost of pleasure and satisfaction. There are also carbohydrates in chocolate which raise serotonin levels in the brain adding to the sense of well being. Some even suggest that the smell of chocolate alone stimulates theta brain waves which contribute to relaxation. Source Aphrodisiac Aside from the many cultural uses (see Valentines Days, Casanova & Montezuma) of chocolate as an aphrodisiac, there is some real science to back it up. A chemical known as PEA (phenylethylamine) resides in human brains and helps regulate emotions and pleasure. When chocolate is eaten, this chemical is released causing feelings of pleasure and love. While PEA is debated in the scientific community, other chemicals like Tryptophan contribute to the feelings of well being associated with chocolate. Source Misc Benefits People who eat chocolate statistically live one year longer than those who don’t Flavinoids in chocolate may help blood vessels retain elasticity Healers once used chocolate to treat bronchitis A Health Note: This above information is not medical advice. While chocolate has some amazing benefits, it must be eaten in moderation due to the sugar and high amount of calories. Also it should be noted that dark chocolate contains less sugar and calories and more of the cocoa which is the source of the health benefits.

MAGNETOSPHERE NEWS

Over a decade ago, in 1996 an astrophysicist predicted changes in the Earth’s magnetosphere and potentiality of CHANGES in the terrestrial climate Over a decade ago, in 1996 an astrophysicist predicted increases in the cosmic-ray flux, changes in the Earth’s magnetosphere, the chemistry of the atmosphere and potentiality of even CHANGES in the terrestrial climate From the University of Chicago in June 1996 the following article sets out that the astrophysicist Priscilla Frisch determined we were headed for an ENCOUNTER WITH A DENSE CLOUD OF INTERSTELLAR MATTER and this DENSE CLOUD OF INTERSTELLAR MATTER held the potentiality of the following (emphasis mine below): "But if the solar system encountered the much denser cloud, Frisch estimates that the heliosphere could be compressed to within one or two astronomical units of the Sun, not much greater than the Earth’s distance from the Sun. “There would be dramatic effects on the inner solar system,” said Frisch. “It would immediately change the whole interaction between the solar wind and the interstellar medium.” Researchers have predicted increases in the cosmic-ray flux, changes in the Earth’s magnetosphere, the chemistry of the atmosphere and perhaps even the terrestrial climate." http://www-news.uchicago.edu/releases/96/960609.solar.sytem.crash.shtml In 1996 astrophysicist Priscilla Frisch was publishing the potentiality of upcoming potential galactic activity and impacts upon "terrestrial climate" - and, in 1996 our current Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was busy with the Whitewater scandal testifying in front of the grand jury and in her role of US First Lady and a few months later in 1996 her husband Bill Clinton and Al Gore were getting themselves nominated at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that news of a cloud of interstellar matter was not one of the top TV shows for Americans busying watching the activities of the Clintons and Gore in 1996. In 2009, the Clintons and Gore now are in the midst of blaming humans for global warming of terrestrial climate and flying to Copenhagen to present their speeches to the United Nations. http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE5B64MQ20091207 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/copenhagen-climate-change-confe/6833072/Copenhagen-climate-conference-Hillary-Clinton-attempts-to-break-deadlock-with-100bn-offer.html http://www2.canada.com/topics/technology/science/story.html?id=2347762 Today, December 23, 2009 NASA publishes the following article setting out the name of astrophysicist Priscilla Frisch, the astrophysicist that published in 1996 the current galactic activity and set out the potential impacts upon "terrestrial climate". But, in today's NASA's News Release she is only credited to a drawing ... almost as if she is an artist not an astrophysicist. http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2009/23dec_voyager.htm http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2009/23dec_voyager.htm http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2009/23dec_voyager.htm RELATED: http://www-news.uchicago.edu/releases/96/960609.solar.sytem.crash.shtml ALSO RELATED: SpaceWeather.com: BIG INTERSTELLAR DISCOVERY: The solar system is passing through an interstellar cloud that physics says should not exist.

A view of Venice's flooded St Mark's Square. Floodwaters drenched most of Venice, as a combination of wind, rain and the lagoon city's periodic tidal phenomenon saw water levels rise by 143 centimetres (56 inches), a record for the year, officials said. (AFP/Andrea Pattaro) Cafe chairs and tables are submerged in high water in St. Mark's Square after the water level reached a peak of 144 cm (4.70 feet), the highest level of 2009, in Venice, Italy, early Wednesday, Dec. 23, 2009. The phenomenon of high water, which floods the Venice lagoon, occurs mainly between autumn and spring when tides are reinforced by seasonal winds. The heavy rain and snowfall which has been hitting most of Italy in the past few days contributed to raising the water level in the lagoon. (AP Photo/Luigi Costantini)

UFO NEWS

UFOs turn up in Michigan sky over Christmas display December 23, 2009 A Michigan photographer taking images of a downtown Christmas display later noticed unusual objects in the sky overhead, according to testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) databse. The city in Michigan was not listed in the public report for this November 27 case. The following is the unedited and as yet unvestigated report filed with MUFON. Please keep in mind that most UFO reports can be explained as something natural or manmade. If Michigan MUFON investigates and reports back on this case, I will release an update. MI, November 27, 2009 - Noticed Lights and shape in 3 of my photos when uploading them the next day. MUFON Case # 21091. I went to town to see the lighting of the Christmas tree on November 27th, 2009. I got a new 2.8 lens and wanted to take some photos in a low light setting. I shot about 100 photos that evening from about 5:00 p.m. to around 8:00 p.m. The next day when I was uploading them to my computer I noticed some lights in the sky of one of them. When I zoomed in I saw a shape with the lights that intrested me, and that I didn't know what it was. I begain to look through my other photos and I found simular lights and shapes in 2 other photos. All 3 photos with the lights and shapes in question in the sky were while I was standing on front street facing west. I had taken 4 photos that evening from that same area, facing west, and those same lights are in 3 of them. (I did not find these lights, or anything like them in any of my other photos I took any place else that night.) Photo: Witness image was cropped and enlarged. MUFON database. Of the 4 I took facing west, the photo they were not in was the first one I took, about 5:00 p.m. The first two where they were was taken about 5:40 p.m. by the clock in one of the photos. The third one that the lights were in was taken about 6:00- 6:15 p.m. I really know nothing more about these. I took them to tv 7/4 to see if anyone there was intrested and Mark Shelette contacted me a few days later and told me to file a report with you.
