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 Sunday Evening - February 7, 2010 |

The second wave of mortgage defaults and foreclosures will hit the economy this year Bob Chapman Feb 7 2010 As we have been forecasting for the last two years, the second wave of mortgage defaults and foreclosures will hit the economy this year. Not only will we have failure in prime loans and option-arm loans, but we are faced with a new crop of subprime and ALT-A loans put into motion by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Ginnie Mae and FHA. In addition, we find it of great interest that the FHA is changing the rules to purchase homes. That, of course, means less homes will be purchased. The incidence of unemployment may be lessening, but it isn’t going away. Those of you who keep your ear to the ground know that real unemployment is 22.5% and in cities like Detroit it is somewhere near 45 to 50 percent. This is the result of free trade, globalization, offshoring and outsourcing. |

U.S. soldier 'waterboarded his own daughter, 4, because she couldn't recite alphabet'
A U.S. soldier has been accused of 'waterboarding' his four-year-old daughter because she couldn't recite the alphabet.
Joshua Tabor admitted to police that he used the CIA torture technique because he was so angry.
As his daughter 'squirmed' to get away, Tabor said he submerged her face - upwards - three or four times until the water was lapping around her forehead and jawline.
Tabor, 27, admitted to investigators that his daughter was terrified of water and he had deliberately chosen the punishment.

States will conduct livestock tracking
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6 (UPI) -- The U.S. Department of Agriculture says a proposed federal program dedicated to livestock tracking will be replaced by a state tracking program.
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said while the federal tracking program never fully into effect, public hearings on the nationwide program were filled with complaints from U.S. farmers and ranchers, the Des Moines (Iowa) Register said Saturday.
As a result of such opposition, the administration of U.S. President Barack Obama nixed the federal program in favor of state-organized attempts to track the movements of cattle, hogs and poultry across state lines.
Iowa Agriculture Secretary Bill Northey applauded the move, saying dealing with state officials is likely more acceptable to producers than dealing with USDA officials.
USDA officials said livestock born and bred inside the borders of a single state would not have to take part in tracking programs, even if their meat does cross state lines.
The Register said the federal tracking program stems from the administration of former U.S. President George W. Bush, who proposed the program in response to the first U.S. case of mad cow disease in 2003.

Obama, The New NeoCon - Military Confrontation Rising By Joel Skousen Editor - World Affairs Brief February 2-6-10 Begin Excerpt - Foreign policy and war issues have taken a back seat to the Democratic administration's push to cram a health care reform bill down our throats. But the world won't wait any longer as it reacts to US provocations on several fronts. The Iran crisis is ripening towards a military confrontation after Obama's diplomacy charade collapsed in failure. It was never intended to succeed. Israel is going to be a major player, if not the instigator, of the coming Iran war but it currently has its hands full with the growing unrest in Gaza. Will the attack on Iran give them an excuse to take decisive military action in both Gaza and Lebanon? I believe it will. If the Iran attack blossoms into a full blown war in the Middle East, as I expect, we might see a major explosion of long-standing tensions between Israel, Iran, Syria and Egypt--with the US right in the middle. This week, I'll also cover the growing tensions with China over Taiwan arms sales and with Pakistan as it reacts to more news of US troop deaths in areas where no US forces are supposed to be. The Defense Industry Is Pleased with Obama Who says the president is failing to show leadership? In one area at least, there's no sign of flag or falter. If anything, the administration's only becoming more forthright. Sad to say, that area is military build-up. The quote of the day comes from the CEO of a military contractor-funded policy group called the Lexington Institute. Loren Thompson tells Tuesday's New York Times, "The defense industry is pleased but bemused... It's been telling itself for years that when the Democrats got control it would be bad news for weapons programs. But the spending keeps going on." Take that you Nobel committee! |

Syrian President Assad: We'll stand by Lebanon in case of Israeli attack
Syrian President Bashar Assad addressed the voices of war and peace in the Middle East for the first time Sunday evening. Speaking in a meeting with Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berry, Assad stressed that his government and the Syrian people would stand by Lebanon "in any case of an Israeli attack which it may face."
Official Syrian news agency SANA reported that the two discussed "the repeated Israeli threats against the region's countries and Israeli extremism threatening to destroy the chances for peace by igniting the region with wars and taking it into the unknown."

There will remain a chance for M-Class flares and there is now a 10% chance for an X-Flare event. A Full Halo CME has been observed in Lasco imagery. Any earth directed CME impacts can produce minor geomagnetic storming and help produce Aurora conditions on VHF. New sunspot 1046 was numbered today and is located on the eastern limb. Largest Flare of Cycle 24 - Three M-Flares including an M6.4 have taken place around Sunspot 1045. The flare at 03:19 UTC Sunday is the largest solar flare of Cycle 24 thus far.

Kissinger Genocide Report 1974 NSSM
You Are In the Way. It’s that simple.
US foreign policy became very clear in the December 10, 1974 National Security Study Memorandum, “NSSM 200, Implications of Worldwide Population Growth for U.S. Security and Overseas Interests” also called the Kissinger Document. In it, an explicit policy by which the US would promote rapid population decline in 13 countries was articulated. Kissinger’s now famous (and declassified) quote sums up the elaborate plan:
