| CAVE NEWS YouTube Channel: Current LASCO C2 and LASCO C3 Solar activity has been moderate with numerous C-Class flares and a single M1.0 event. Each of these solar flares took place around Sunspot 1410 which is now ready to rotate onto the western limb. The visible solar disk will be at risk of being spotless for first time since August 14, 2011. This is a good indication of just how weak this current solar cycle really is. There will remain the chance for another M-Class flare while 1410 is within view. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Very information ongoing updated global/national news website Dear NaturalNews readers, Well, the CDC has finally gone bonkers with its insistence that all boys should "routinely" be injected with HPV vaccines (Gardasil) -- even though boys don't have a cervix! Um, gee, the CDC seems to have forgotten basic human anatomy, but they sure remember all there is to know about drug company profits! This latest vaccine push by the CDC is nothing more than an outright crime against children being conducted as yet another example of total scientific fraud carried out by Big Government: http://www.naturalnews.com/034886_CDC_Gardasil_boys.html

FBI warns of threat from anti-government extremists
(Reuters) - Anti-government extremists opposed to taxes and regulations pose a growing threat to local law enforcement officers in the United States, the FBI warned on Monday. These extremists, sometimes known as "sovereign citizens," believe they can live outside any type of government authority, FBI agents said at a news conference. The extremists may refuse to pay taxes, defy government environmental regulations and believe the United States went bankrupt by going off the gold standard.
Night raids and hit lists - new Afghan exit strategy for US?
RT - The New York Times writes that the number of Special Ops forces that will stay behind after America’s combat role comes to a close could stretch into the thousands and grow well after the war is officially over. Since beginning their missions, however, those Special Ops teams have been among the most critiqued by concerned Afghans. The US forces have become notorious for a series of night raids that have proven not just deadly, but terrifying for civilians fearing that they will be the next accidental casualty in the lengthy war.
Truth, lies and Afghanistan - How military leaders have let us down
Over the course of 12 months, I covered more than 9,000 miles and talked, traveled and patrolled with troops in Kandahar, Kunar, Ghazni, Khost, Paktika, Kunduz, Balkh, Nangarhar and other provinces. What I saw bore no resemblance to rosy official statements by U.S. military leaders about conditions on the ground.... Instead, I witnessed the absence of success on virtually every level.
Hundreds of 9/11 cops diagnosed with cancer
RT - Of the nearly 300 cases of cancer claimed by cops that survived 9/11, lung cancer is the most predominant. Others, though, have suffered from rare varieties of the disease, including cancers of the bile duct, tongue and nasal passage. The culprit, they say, was the cloud of debris that filled their lungs as they tried to secure the scene in New York City... Frank Tramontao, a research director at the PBA [Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association], adds that "It is our sincere opinion that the City of New York has done nothing to facilitate any cancer study and has been actively working to prevent a comprehensive examination of the issue."
Roman Catholic leaders criticize Barack Obama over healthcare
Telegraph - Roman Catholic leaders have furiously criticised President Barack Obama for approving new regulations that compel religious organisations to include morning-after pills and other contraceptives in employee health insurance coverage....

Army Tries To Silence Chaplains
CNS News - Archbishop Timothy Broglio, who leads the Roman Catholic Archdiocese for the Military Services, wrote a letter to be read at all Sunday Masses for U.S. military personnel around the world that said that a regulation issued by the Obama Administration under the new federal health care law was “a blow” to a freedom that U.S. troops have not only fought to defend but for which some have recently died in battle.
Public surveillance from private property questioned
The Citizens Association of Georgetown, a private neighborhood association, plans to pay for the installation of up to 10 cameras in the hopes that the additional surveillance will deter crime.... The Georgetown group’s cameras will tape public spaces such as streets and sidewalks, and video that could be used to solve a crime will be turned over to police, the group’s members said. The cameras will be located on private property, such as in residents’ yards, and as a result they will skirt the stringent rules imposed on the police department’s closed-circuit camera system.
'Halftime in America' ad creates political debate
DETROIT (AP) -- People rarely pick a fight with Dirty Harry.

Paul Joseph Watson February 6, 2012 - Following House approval of the measure on Friday, the Senate is set to vote today on legislation that would allow U.S. airports to replace TSA workers with screeners from private companies, a move that could spell the beginning of the end for the highly unpopular federal agency’s role in airport security.
Lawsuit against Cheney, Rumsfeld: Going after Powerful People Who Think they’re Above the Law is "Frivolous"
Global Research - The message is loud and clear. Go after justice for 9/11 in the courts, and not only will you lose, you’ll be punished. That’s what April Gallop and her lawyer, William Veale, found out as their lawsuit against former vice-president Dick Cheney, former secretary of defense Donald Rumsfeld, and former Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Richard Myers concluded with a final slap in the face. This came in the form of a $15,000 fine levied against Veale for filing a “frivolous” appeal. The decision was handed down by a three-judge panel headed by Justice John M. Walker, who just happens to be George W. Bush’s cousin – proving that the American justice system has a twisted sense of humour at times.
Sheriff Arpaio office lawyers to meet with DOJ
PHOENIX (AP) — Lawyers in Arizona for the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office and attorneys from the U.S. Justice Department plan Monday to meet for the first time to resolve federal accusations of civil rights violations against the department run by Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

Tea party: Warming or resigned to Mitt Romney?
DENVER (AP) -- Long skeptical of Mitt Romney, tea party activists are either warming up to the GOP presidential front-runner or reluctantly backing him after abandoning hope of finding a nominee they like better. Whatever the reason, the former Massachusetts governor who is coming off of back-to-back victories in Florida and Nevada now is picking up larger shares of the tea party vote than he did when the Republican nomination fight began.

Ron Paul vs. Mitt Romney
The Christian Science Monitor’s Peter Grier writes: Will Ron Paul be Mitt Romney’s last rival standing? We ask that question because if you sort through the Nevada caucus results, look at this week’s GOP events, add in a few financial disclosure forms, and shake, you can produce a scenario where Representative Paul outlasts Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum. That would make the Texas libertarian the only non-Romney to run all the way to the Tampa Republican convention in August.

YouTube: Ron Paul's Texas Straight Talk 2/6/12: Trust Us; We're the Government
Ron Paul: While much has been made recently of the President's unconstitutional appointment of Richard Cordray to be director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), lost in the hubbub has been any discussion of the unconstitutionality of, or the need for, the CFPB itself. Proponents of the CFPB claim that this new bureaucracy will help consumers by protecting them from fraudulent activity. In reality, it will only expose consumers to more financial harm...

Plan developed to clean up highly radioactive Hanford spill
Tri-City Herald - Hanford officials have settled on a plan to clean up what may be the most highly radioactive spill at the nuclear reservation. It depends on calling back into service the 47-year-old, oversized hot cell where the spill occurred to protect workers from the radioactive cesium and strontium that leaked through the hot cell to the soil below. Radioactivity in the contaminated soil, which is about 1,000 feet from the Columbia River, has been measured at 8,900 rad per hour. Direct exposure for a few minutes would be fatal, according to Washington Closure.

Legislative bills proposed in six states would grant nutrition monopoly to ADA
(NaturalNews) Have you ever wondered why much of the food served to patients in hospitals is highly processed and unhealthy? Or why school lunches at public schools are often loaded with refined flours, sugars, and other toxic ingredients and additives? The American Dietetic Association (ADA), a junk food- and drug industry-funded organization composed of "food and nutrition professionals" that hold heavy influence on the nation's dietary habits, is largely to blame - and this group is now actively trying to legislate its way into having a complete nutrition monopoly in at least six U.S. states and counting.
Teen girl rushed to hospital for eating nothing but chicken nuggets for 15 years
(NaturalNews) Yahoo! News reports that the young factory worker had been eating practically nothing else besides McDonald's chicken McNuggets since she was about two years old.

Did you know? Oregano delivers more antioxidants than blueberries, oranges or apples
(NaturalNews) Oregano, a common ingredient in Italian and Mexican cuisine, comes from the leaves of an herb native to the Mediterranean (not to be confused with Mexican oregano, native to the Americas), is one of the most concentrated antioxidant sources ever studied. According to data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, its antioxidant activity is between three and 20 times higher than that of any other herb. Even well-known antioxidant-containing fruits fail to measure up: Oregano has four times the antioxidant activity of blueberries, 12 times that of oranges and 42 times that of apples.
White tea, witch hazel and rose extract are powerful anti-inflammatory and anti-aging botanicals
(NaturalNews) A team of researchers at Kingston University in London recently collaborated with Neal's Yard Remedies (a British brand) to determine the effects of various natural substances on inflammation in the human body.

Grape seed extract targets cancer cells by damaging DNA repair pathway
(NaturalNews)(NaturalNews) Researchers from the Colorado Cancer Center reporting in the prestigious journal Carcinogenesis explain the unique mechanism exerted by grape seed extract to destroy cancer cells that target the head and neck. More than half a million people worldwide will fall victim to squamous cell carcinoma involving the head and neck, and 12,000 will die in the US alone. In an experimental model using mice, scientists have found that grape seed extract triggers DNA damage in the cancer cells and inhibits the necessary repair mechanism used by the cells to regenerate and multiply.
Superbug Pneumonia: 37 States, 50% Mortality Rate
Activist Post - Although cases of this particular pneumonia infection have been on the rise worldwide for the past 10 years, there is an alarming spread recently across the US.

Latest illnesses point to raw milk's popularity
WASHINGTON (AP) -- An outbreak of bacterial infections on the East Coast illustrates the popularity of raw, unpasteurized milk despite strong warnings from public health officials about the potential danger.... Advocates say far more illnesses are caused each year by leafy greens, deli meats and other products produced in much larger quantities than raw milk. "To outlaw or ban any natural food because it could possibly make you sick is an extreme position, because there is no safe food," Hartke [of the Weston A. Price Foundation] said.

U.S. Senator Calls FDA on the Carpet with Chinese Jerky Treats
CLEVELAND, OH— Following an increase in tainted pet treats from China leading to animal deaths and illnesses, U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) is urging the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to take quick action to protect consumers and pet owners. At a news conference today in Cleveland, Brown was joined by Kevin Thaxton, whose 10 year-old pug, Chancey, passed away unexpectedly after eating chicken jerky pet treats. After Mr. Thaxton’s new five-month old puppy, Penny suffered life-threatening kidney failure after eating the same treats, the Thaxton’s saw an FDA warning connecting the illnesses between the two dogs: tainted chicken jerky pet treats imported from China.
