Turbulent skies
Taken from: English Russia
More and more UFO reports are flying in from all over the globe. Including many videos and photos. This was foretold, and many also believe that the varous governments, most notably the US will have to start acknowledging SOMETHING.
Some have already made public records which show at least encounters, if not "evidence". From a reasonable perspective, something is indeed going on, and has been for years. Although one of the most difficult questions to answer is this:
How much of what is seen is indeed alien, or human in nature?
And even the "human" built UFO's display evidence of impossible physics. To us at least. So, the science IS there. Just not here. IE, they're not telling us.
Restrict exposur from cell phones
12 BASIC PRECAUTIONS to minimise exposure to radiation when using a mobile phone
1 -
Limit phone calls to those that are absolutely necessary, and restrict these to 6 minutes maximum, which is the time the body needs to adjust. Use a hands-free kit and hold the phone more than 20/30cm away from your body in order to limit the impact of radiation on yourself.
2 -
Do not carry your phone directly on your body, even on stand-by, and do not use it less than one metre away from another person, in order to reduce the effect of 'passive' radiation.
3 -
Those under 15 should not use a mobile phone at all because they are still growing. With their lighter body weight the radiation is more damaging, especially to the brain, weakening the Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB), and to the reproductive organs/ovaries, etc.
4 -
Any elderly person should be discouraged from using a mobile phone, as well as anyone in a weakened state (the radiation will weaken their organism further), and any pregnant woman. Microwave radiation is readily absorbed by the amniotic fluid in which the embryo and then the foetus develops.
5 -
Use the phone only in conditions of optimum reception: do not use it in a confined space such as an elevator, basement, underground station, caravan, etc. In these situations the strength of the signal both sending and receiving is much greater thus the radiation is much more intense.
6 -
Do not use the phone while you are in a moving vehicle, including the train, bus, etc, since its antenna will be constantly scanning for contact using the maximum signal strength, and the radiation from both incoming and outgoing signal will be intensified.
7 -
Do not use the phone while in any vehicle, even when stationary. An enclosed metal container produces the "Faraday cage" effect, which maximizes the damaging impact of radiation, reflecting not only on the person phoning but also on other passengers, especially children. Thus it is essential to step out of the vehicle before making a call.
8 -
Do not keep a mobile phone beside the bed at night switched on, because even when on stand-by it is in contact with the nearest phone mast and emits radiation at regular intervals.
9 -
Equip yourself preferably with:
- a mobile phone with the lowest possible SAR rating (= Specific Absorption Rate of microwave radiation by human body tissues). The regulation limit is 1.1W/kg for eye-sockets and cheeks.
- a phone with an external antenna, because even if it is less trendy, the omni-directional antenna broadcasts with maximum efficiency and therefore uses a weaker signal than one with an inbuilt antenna. The fashion factor matters less than the health factor.
10 -
Use of a mobile phone should be avoided by anyone who has any metallic object in or on their head, whether magnetic or not, such as amalgam fillings and dental bridges, metal plates, screws, clips, body ornaments, earrings or metal framed glasses. The same is true for those with walking frames, wheelchairs or metal crutches, so as to avoid increasing radiation by the phenomena of reflection, amplification, resonance, passive re-emission, etc...
11 -
Make use of protective items to shield yourself from radiation, such as a metal phone carrying case, protective anti-radiation fabric and veils, metallic foil wallpaper, anti-radiation paint, etc, all which have been proved to be effective.
12 -
Make as many phone calls as possible using landlines which emit no radiation, and which can often be used for free and for unlimited time via the Internet, even for phone calls abroad.

Initiation schools
Following on the heels of a farm (manager) being ordered by law to allow an initiation ritueal on his land.
http://www.iol.co.za/index.php?set_id=1&click_id=13&art_id=nw20090527193532742C426035
"Eight initiates have died after being circumsised at an initiation school in Kwamhlanga, Mpumalanga, health officials said on Wednesday.
A total of 15 initiates were admitted to the Kwamhlanga hospital since Saturday, said Simphiwe Kunene from the Mpumalanga health department. Of the 15 admitted, 11 were discharged, one died and three were still in hospital."
No, i wouldn't allow them on my land either.
R.I.P. to the youngsters, and i sincerely hope that someone is criminally charged.

Marduk
Nibiru, to the Babylonians, was the celestial body or region sometimes associated with the god Marduk ... Wiki
... the Babylonian name of a late-generation god from ancient Mesopotamia and patron deity of the city of Babylon ... Wiki
... The only serious rival to Marduk after ca. 1000 BC was Aššur in Assyria. In the south, Marduk reigned supreme. He is normally referred to as Bel "Lord", also bel rabim "great lord", bêl bêlim "lord of lords", ab-kal ilâni bêl terêti "leader of the gods", aklu bêl terieti "the wise, lord of oracles", muballit mîte "reviver of the dead", etc. ... Wiki
... In Enûma Elish, a civil war between the gods was growing to a climactic battle. The Anunnaki gods gathered together to find one god who could defeat the gods rising against them. Marduk, a very young god, answered the call and was promised the position of head god. ... Wiki
When he killed his enemy, he "wrested from him the Tablets of Destiny, wrongfully his" and assumed his new position. Under his reign humans were created to bear the burdens of life so the gods could be at leisure. ... Wiki
... Marduk, appointed as the celestial champion, slew Tiamat, fastened the tablets of destiny on his own breast, and created a new world order that included humankind. This is a paradoxical creation myth: for the chaos-monster, though slain and dismembered remained the body of the universe and was manifest in her children, the gods and goddess from whom Bel-Marduk received homage. ... The Mystica
Marduk:
Assur:
And of course again i find the tantalizing name Nibiru
... Nibiru (mythology): a celestial object in the Babylonian poem Enuma Elish, associated with the god Marduk, generally accepted to be the planet Jupiter.
Nibiru (Sitchin): A pseudoscientific planetary object with a 3600-year orbit, described by Zecharia Sitchin in his Earth Chronicles series.
The Nibiru collision; the belief held by some (though not by Sitchin himself) that this Nibiru or a similar object is currently on course to hit Earth. ...
Now i could ask all sorts of questions, greatest amongst these i think would be:
On the one hand you have myth, and on the other science, and both seem to follow a similar train, yet both deny the existence of the other .... Where is the link?
We are missing something, some world view that took a whole lot of things for granted, which our wold view does not.

Nuking the solar system.
This is a story that has captivated me. The Galileo spacecraft was dispatched to look for information on our solar system, and was a complete success, far exceeding any expectations that it's designers had.
One of it's most astounding discoveries was that of Europa, one of Jupiter's moons. The Galileo discovered oceans, under a frozen surface. This is obviously important, and while the Galileo had reached the limits of it's investigations, NASA clearly wanted another chance to have a look at that moon. They realised that once the Galileo had powered down, it would become space debris, and it would be a fairly safe bet that it would crash, possibly on Europa, and contiminate that pristine environment.
So what to do with a useless space craft? Crash it of course, into Jupiter. Now Jupiter is vitally important to earth, for the simple reason that it's massive gravity attracts all sorts of the more natural variety of space junk, meteors, comets and so on.
The only difference of course, is that this natural space junk does not contain Plutonium 238. Despite warnings from the public, Galileo was given it's new co-ordinates, straight into Jupiter. It must also be noted, that Jupiter is mostly hydrogen.
What happened next was entirely predictable. The heavy Jupiter atmosphere slowed the Galileo down, to about 1 mph. As the craft got lower, the pressure increased to phenomenal conditions. Roughly 1 000 000 times our own atmospheric pressure close to the "surface" of the leviathon planet.
This uniform pressure was what the scientists at the Manhatten project worked so hard to achieve, eventually using high explosives, machines to perfection, to create a blast which would then compact the plutonium, initiating a chain reaction, and a nuclear blast. This type of bomb was referred to as a "fat-boy".
So NASA sent a nuclear bomb into the hydrogen rich atmosphere of Jupiter. It did not ignite Jupiter, as Arthur C. Clark had theorised in 2010. But it very well could have, creating a binary star system, and i'm certain much chaos.
For all the technical details, have a look at: http://www.enterprisemission.com/NukingJupiter.html.
Bush and Magog
By Clive Anderson, CounterPunch. Posted May 25, 2009.
The revelation this month in GQ Magazine that Donald Rumsfeld as Defense Secretary embellished top-secret wartime memos with quotations from the Bible prompts a question. Why did he believe he could influence President Bush by that means?
The answer may lie in an alarming story about George Bush's Christian millenarian beliefs that has yet to come to light.
In 2003 while lobbying leaders to put together the Coalition of the Willing, President Bush spoke to France's President Jacques Chirac. Bush wove a story about how the Biblical creatures Gog and Magog were at work in the Middle East and how they must be defeated.
In Genesis and Ezekiel Gog and Magog are forces of the Apocalypse who are prophesied to come out of the north and destroy Israel unless stopped. The Book of Revelation took up the Old Testament prophesy:
"And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them."
Bush believed the time had now come for that battle, telling Chirac:
"This confrontation is willed by God, who wants to use this conflict to erase his people's enemies before a New Age begins".
The story of the conversation emerged only because the Elyse Palace, baffled by Bush's words, sought advice from Thomas Romer, a professor of theology at the University of Lausanne. Four years later, Romer gave an account in the September 2007 issue of the university's review, Allez savoir. The article apparently went unnoticed, although it was referred to in a French newspaper.
The story has now been confirmed by Chirac himself in a new book, published in France in March, by journalist Jean Claude Maurice. Chirac is said to have been stupefied and disturbed by Bush's invocation of Biblical prophesy to justify the war in Iraq and "wondered how someone could be so superficial and fanatical in their beliefs".
In the same year he spoke to Chirac, Bush had reportedly said to the Palestinian foreign minister that he was on "a mission from God" in launching the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan and was receiving commands from the Lord.
There can be little doubt now that President Bush's reason for launching the war in Iraq was, for him, fundamentally religious. He was driven by his belief that the attack on Saddam's Iraq was the fulfilment of a Biblical prophesy in which he had been chosen to serve as the instrument of the Lord.
Many thousands of Americans and Iraqis have died in the campaign to defeat Gog and Magog. That the US President saw himself as the vehicle of God whose duty was to prevent the Apocalypse can only inflame suspicions across the Middle East that the United States is on a crusade against Islam.
There is a curious coda to this story. While a senior at Yale University George W. Bush was a member of the exclusive and secretive Skull & Bones society. His father, George H.W. Bush had also been a "Bonesman", as indeed had his father. Skull & Bones' initiates are assigned or take on nicknames. And what was George Bush Senior's nickname? "Magog".

Arrested in Mozambique
http://moporofeta.blogspot.com/
http://www.orgonise-africa.net/
The first man, along with a friend of mine, Georg Ritchl, and 2 others, have been arrested in Mozambique. The were caught throwing objects into a dam, nd were arrested initially on charges of littering, which has now escalated to terrorism and sabotage.
The part of the charges (that i know of) contains the argument that the aluminium will rust, causing damage to the turbines. The items themselves are essentially metals shavings and a crystal, contained in a resin shell.
The same resin that boats use.
One of the most startling things i could say, is that Georg is a qualified traditional healer in the african tradition. The items are primarily believed to be rain-making in nature. The full story can be read on the "Orgonise Africa" website.
I'm not going to get into the hows and wherefors, but these men are clearly being shunted around for the wrong reasons. They did nothing wrong, yet the government's heavy handed approach is typical of when they get caught by surprise.
It's been about a month now, and while they are still in apparently good spirits, it certainly won't be long before reality starts biting.
Keep them in your thoughts, please.
peace and love

Whose rights?
The right to practise one's culture has triumphed over religion in a battle taken to court.
When a farm manager refused to grant the occupiers permission to hold an initiation school at the farm, citing religious reasons, the family approached the court for help.
To show how he, as a Christian and member of the NG Kerk, was opposed to the idea of the initiation school at the farm, he attached a letter for his father-in-law - the church's minister - in his affidavit.
In the letter, the father-in-law said: "For Christians to allow an African school of initiation on their farm would be very difficult and would constantly put a burden on their conscience because the bible explicitly forbids the practices, which is done at such schools. In African initiation schools, the young people are taught to worship the spirits of their dead ancestors and taught how to make use of the services of sangomas."
From: IOL
__________________________________________________________________________
I tend to agree with the farmers on this one. The right to follow your culture, should not infringe on my rights. I guess the "property rights" bubble will burst soon, but this is a precursor.
Having a christian background, i can easily understand how the bible is very clear on not taking part in this kind of thing. Other cultures, specifically invoking the ancestors and other spirits miscellaneous, in expressly forbidden. And while i couldn't climb in to the legal aspects, i certainly feel that the farmer and his family have now been forced to accept that which they should not have to.
In the light of the tragedy which initiation has become, their concerns are equally valid on medical, and hygenic grounds. Sure, if you wish to undergo "initiation" of whatever sort, you are welcome. But not in my space, please.

Freemasons
So i go to a doctor, sit down in the waiting room and pick up the local weekly rag.
Page, read, page, read, page ..... blink.
An advert, an invitation to find out more about the "wonderful organisation" freemasonry. In MY area, of course.
I'll see if i can find it and scan it in. Wow. Secret societies aren't so secret anymore ... or something.
I think it's hilarious.

Think Bike
"Lads and lasses, we are not going to formally respond to this or lay a complaint with the BCC. Our contention is that it will just play into Mr Cliff's hands by feeding the controversy.
You are free to respond or complain in your individual capacities, but please do not create the impression that you represent or speak on behalf of Think Bike."
This, after a radio 5 deejay told a woman she can kill a biker's buddies the next day.
There is something that sticks in my throat. This is not a game, orchestrated by wily media companies. This is a prat, who says anything contriversial, for the sake of being contriversial. No debate, no reason, certainly no intelligence. Just very typically south african speaking before thinking, and being typically arrogant to bot.
Are civil societies not duty bound to represent themselves in the public eye? Is Think Bike's main purpose to represent the interests of bikers? Is it in fact the ONLY saving grace south africa has had over the last few years, the strength of civil action?
I am very confused and dismayed. So instead of building a greater good, we're being told: You're on your own, and DON'T pretend to represent us thank you.
I'm not even going to get into the free speech aspects. Nothing is "free" and yet people honestly think it can be so. Is that ignorance or delusion?

Words
Yesterday on the Think Bike forum i got pulled into an argument, and predictably said too much for my own good.
Imagine my surprise when someone responded as such:
You go, Abraxas
Your comments are always wise and most welcome!
Well imagine my surprise. I was stunned, humbled, vaguely confused, exhilerated and all sorts of other things besides. Rather pleased with myself to say the least.
But of course, things like this play on one's mind, and my little genius pointed to one of the many things i had said, such as this gem:
The only thing lower than sarcasm is the monkey who doesn't recognise it.
And in the most wonderful moment of clarity i have ever had, i realised that i in fact, was the monkey. I haven't laughed so hard for a long time, and the fact that it was only at myself made it sweeter.

Personal
SO much happens every day. So many impressions, thoughts, incidents, conversations, ideas, moments of infinite beauty.
Just by me, in my own meandering path through life. And yet multiply that by a thousand, a million, a billions, SEVERAL billion in fact, and your logic circuits just fried.
I cna't keep up with my own thoughts sometimes, and yet in each is ... something. A lesson perhaps, or a sign, or something that just adds to the mind, completes an idea and fills the spaces.
What to carry to the next conversation, what to discard entirely, what to hold, for a moment, and give special place in your libruary of experience.

Just by me, in my own meandering path through life. And yet multiply that by a thousand, a million, a billions, SEVERAL billion in fact, and your logic circuits just fried.
I cna't keep up with my own thoughts sometimes, and yet in each is ... something. A lesson perhaps, or a sign, or something that just adds to the mind, completes an idea and fills the spaces.
What to carry to the next conversation, what to discard entirely, what to hold, for a moment, and give special place in your libruary of experience.

Rotting mango
I am in South Africa now. Here I was born, and here I was to die. But I see my country falling apart like a rotting mango. South Africa was once a powerful country. She had a powerful army. She had huge industries, which were producing everything from locomotives to little radios. But today my country has become a drug-sodden, crime-ridden piece of rubbish. Why? A country doesn't get destroyed almost overnight, unless there are definite forces which are determined to obliterate it.

Black Jack
I found this last week. Scares the shit out of a lot of people. The whole thing is eery, and strangely foreboding. I also feel that this is what is going to happen soon, and "they" want us to know. The arrogance is astounding, but we should be used to it by now.
Take note of the images and ideas.

I found this letter online, and while cannot confirm it's authenticity, believe it to be genuine. It is worthy for a number of reasons. First, it raises a number of points which are true, which are also not widely known, and also happen to be frightening.
All these flu scares are not accidental. Both the degreeto which they are "pushed" in the "free" press, to the draconian measures a heartbeat away. Take "Tamiflu" or go to prison indefinitely, that's the bottom line.

Subject: Criminal Charges to be filed against Dr M Chan and WHO for mass murder
Dear Dr Margaret Chan,
I am sending this email to inform you that I intend to file criminal charges on Monday Aril 27th against you as well as other employees in the WHO and allied organisations, for your role in exposing the populations of the world to the risk of a pandemic virus that could kill billions of people using laws to fight international racketeering influenced organised crime as well as the UN convention for the prevention and punishment of genocide.
As a public servant employed in an international organisation, the Director-General of the World Health Organisation based in Geneva, you have the duty as part of your official capacity to act at all times in such a way as to safeguard the health of the world's population, specifically to prevent the "misuse" of pandemic declaration by organisations, companies, government bodies or other entities intent on unleashing a pandemic virus and then carrying through a mass vaccination programme with contaminated material in order to gain political and economic advantages from mass murder.
Media reports indicate that your organisation is abusing its administrative structures, personnel and services to play up the danger of the swine flu virus to justify just such a mass vaccination programme with an untried and untested vaccine.
The WHO has ordered all WHO officers to man the "Pandemic Control Room" 24/7 for the 1st time in response to the swine flu cases reported in the media yesterday, and is about to declare a "pandemic".
The WHO "Pandemic Control Room" is designed to map and track the spread of a pandemic virus, and is thus equipped with super-computers tied to all U.N. member government's security forces.
This "control room" is where any declarations of "pandemic" will originate from, and I would be grateful if you could list the names of the people working in that control room.
When WHO sends such a "declaration" to President Obama, FEMA and the Department of Homeland Security "Pandemic Task Forces" will be deployed according to my information.
Each State Governor will be notified that the provisions of the Model State Emergency Health Powers Act (MSEHPA) will be implemented. This means that all Americans must consent to mass vaccinations, or be guilty of a FELONY crime.
Would it not, Dr Chan, be better just to ask people who refuse to wear a surgical mask if there is, indeed, a real danger of a pandemic? Why force through a vaccination on pain of being shot?
The legal situation is that anyone who refuses the vaccine, and/or resists forced relocation to a prepared "quarantine compound", can "legally" be shot and killed. (Justified "deadly force".) See http://www.forhealthfreedom.org/Pub...ModelState.html
You must be aware of this facts.
This is such a drastic scenario that you in your capacity as a public servant must have real evidence of a dire threat to the population and be prove beyond a doubt that your actions will address that threat and that there is a good reason why you don't simply recommend people were surgical masks if they don't want to take the vaccination.
From media reports, it seems that the new strain of swine flu is a synthetic structural recombinant, it contains genes from birds, humans, and pigs from many different continents. It therefore is reasonable to assume it came out of a laboratory, specifically a bioweapons laboratory.
Wouldn't the WHO be better advised to investigate the lab that manufactured and released this synthetic virus and prosecute them or else recommend people wear surgical masks rather than declare a mass vaccination programme?
According to a report in Fox News below, your assessment of the dangers of this swine flu is by far the most pessimistic with the CDC recommending just customary precautions. How do you explain that?
How do explain why you have identified so many fatalities already while the Mexican government has confirmed only 16 from this new flu strain? What is the scientific basis for your identification? Are you using a correct procedure? Can you prove it in court that you are using the correct procedure and that simply recommending people wear surgical masks is not adequate.
Also, I note that the new strain of the swine flu has appeared in Mexico and America simultaneously, and under "mysterious circumstances" also indicating a deliberate, planned and coordinated release of the synthetic laboratory engineered viruses. Shouldn't you be investigating such a "mysterious" incident? Have you declared an investigation? Who are you investigating? Please give details?
WHO is obliged to exhaust all other avenues before declaring a pandemic and initiating a mass vaccination programme because you must -- as part of your duties to be informed as the holder of such an office -- know that the 1976 swine flu mass vaccination programme was abandoned by the US government because of the mounting evidence that the risk to the general public was greater from the vaccination programme than from the actual swine flu.
It is your especial duty, given this precedent in 1976, to make sure no mass vaccination programme is implemented unless that causes injury to the general public is implemented under your auspices by your declaring a pandemic prematurely and without having adequate safeguards in place to ensure the high quality and safety of any vaccine material.
You also need to show that recommending surgical masks is not a viable alternative approach in dealing with any so-called pandemic.
I contend that you are not fulfilling your duty to a) provide accurate information to the public about the threats posed to them by the swine flu and b) to ensure you do not declare a pandemic prematurely as a pretext to rush through a contaminated or faulty vaccine material that could result in death or injury to people as happened in 1976.
As a public servant whose body is currently investigation the involvement of Baxter and Avir in the release of bird flu pandemic material in Austria, you are obliged to be fully aware also of the details of this case and the role that a pharmaceutical company, namely Baxter, played in almost triggering a pandemic.
You might also be aware of the criminal charges I filed against Baxter and other bodies, including the WHO, in respect of this case on April 8th with the Vienna City Prosecutor since they are available on a blog.
The WHO reference center provided Baxter with the particularly lethal wild type bird flu virus that ended up contaminating ordinary human flu material and being distributed to 16 laboratories in Austria, the Czech Republic, Slovenia and Germany under a false label, and so nearly sparking a bird flu pandemic this winter in the estimation of experts and the media.
Virus mix-up by lab could have resulted in pandemic (6 Mar 2009)
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/4230882.cms
In the Baxter case of this winter, there is therefore a clear, well documented link between WHO and the release of pandemic bird flu material in Europe this winter.
The WHO is, according to reports, conducting an investigation into Baxter and Avir's role in producing and distributing this material, but has so far not made public the results of its investigation or made recommendations in respect of stricter biosecurity rules for laboratories working with the highly pathogenic bird flu virus. Why not?
I contend your failure to conduct a full and detailed investigation into this incident, and to make those findings public or to make clear recommendations as to how to prevent a repeat of this incident is not merely a failure to perform your duty as a public servant but evidence of your role in covering up the real origin of the pandemic virus, specifically, in WHO's own reference center.
In my criminal charges filed with the Vienna City Prosecutor on April 8th, 2009, I alleged that Baxter deliberately tried to trigger a pandemic with the aim of profiting from it by sealing in advance lucrative contracts to supply a vaccination for the bird flu with the Austrian Health Ministry in 2006, specifically the contract sealed with Austrian Health Minister Maria Rauch-Kallat involved supplying 16 million vaccine shots in the event that WHO declared a bird flu pandemic.
In Germany, a vaccination bird flu shot is mandatory ensuring more profits for pharmaceutical companies, and adding to the motivation for companies to trigger a pandemic because they will profit from it, and to take steps to exercise undue influence on members of WHO to declare a pandemic without adequate reason.
Referring to laws on racketeering influenced crime organisations, I argued that high offices in organisations such as the WHO have been annexed by criminal elements who are actually helping to further a criminal agenda of committing murder with the motive of robbery - albeit using covert bioweapons programmes.
As a result of the actions of Baxter, at least 35 people in Austria and in the Czech Republic were given preventative treatment against bird flu and the ordinary human flu in hospital. This underlines that in the professional opinion of the medical personnel there was a real, concrete and specific danger from Baxter and WHO's contaminated material to the health of those individuals, such that administering medicines was considered necessary. I understand the Czech laboratory staff who came into contact with Baxter's contaminated and who first reported it on February 6th material were placed in quarantine.
Given the fact that this incident happened only a few weeks ago and your organisation is involved in it in as far as it supplied a) a lethal strain of the bird flu virus and b) is investigating the incident, it is your duty to be aware of all details, allegations of criminal intent, evidence for those allegations and refutations of those allegations because there are so many parallels with this new "swine flu" case, also involving a synthetic structure that has mysteriously appeared in two places simultaneously.
In particular, you are obliged to be informed about the fact that Baxter uses biosafety level 3 regulations when handling the highly pathogenic bird flu virus that WHO sent the company from its reference center, and that under these biosafety 3 regulations an accidental contamination of the deadly bird flu virus strain you sent you're your reference center to Baxter with a human flu is virtually impossible.
You must also be aware of the research of Jeffery K. Taubenberger of the Department of Molecular Pathology, Armed Forces Institute of Pathology into the bird flu virus and specifically his reconstruction of the deadly strain of the bird flu virus from the genetic material retrieved from victims of the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918-1919.
Although many researchers and NGOs issued warnings that resurrecting this lethal virus was dangerous to the public, the WHO has been one of the biggest supporters of continuing research into this bioengineered virus and into its "antidotes" spending millions of tax payers dollars on research and prevention programmes.
You must be aware that it was only last summer that scientists published in scientific journals evidence that showed that the bird flu can mix with the human flu virus to produce a pandemic virus in a laboratory situation.
You must also be aware of the ongoing criminal investigation in Poland into the deaths of homeless people after they were given a bird flu trial vaccination by doctors and nurses last summer.
There is therefore, I argue, ample evidence within the public domain to show that pharmaceutical companies and government organisations and other agents are knowingly and intentionally creating pandemic virus material and, as we saw in Austria, this winter unleashing it on the population, and trying to cover up their involvement.
Should you and WHO now declare a pandemic for the swine flu in the USA, and should people die as a direct result of the vaccination programme you initiate, or should there be significant evidence of harm or injury to people as a direct result of the mass vaccination programme you initiate, as happened in 1976, you could find yourself charged not with a conspiracy to mass murder but with mass murder itself.
Furthermore, the WHO, as far as I am informed, has published a study outlining the economic impact of a pandemic virus.
If you as part of your office help criminal organisations who have annexed high offices of state to carry out their crimes, to ignite and then declare a pandemic, that disrupts the economy, then you, other leading individuals working for WHO in an official capacity and WHO, as an organisation, could also liable not only for criminal charges but also for damages flowing from class action lawsuits filed not just by citizens of American but by citizens or company around the world that see their revenues decline as a direct result of the pandemic being unleashed, and the subsequent havoc to the economy.
If there is a pandemic declaration by WHO and mass deaths from the vaccination programme, I foresee a situation were you and the WHO could find thousands of people are filing criminal charges but also class action law suits.
I contend there is evidence from the pattern of your activities concerning the Baxter case that you, under the color of your office while purporting to act in an official capacity, are actually acting on behalf of hidden crime interests intent on igniting a pandemic and misusing a declaration of a pandemic to gain political and financial advantages, a group which I designate as the Illuminati crime gang.
The declaration of a pandemic by WHO has direct political and financial and other advantages to elements in the US government, especially elements I argue belong to the Illuminati/New World Order/CIA/Freemason crime gang, who are now being considered for investigation for sanctioning torture in Guantanamo in violation of the US and international law, specifically Donald Rumsfeld (who has financial connections with an anti bird flu Tamiflu producer), Richard Cheney and Alberto Gonzales.
The imposition of martial law will help anyone suspected of violating laws to torture to avoid prosecution in the United States, although a case is pending in Spain.
I contend that you are abusing your office as Director General of WHO, knowingly and intentionally, to help the Illuminati achieve their political and financial goals.
I contend there is already today, Saturday, evidence that you are intentionally manipulating information on the swine flu outbreak that allegedly started yesterday to play up the danger of a pandemic in order to justify the implementation of a mass vaccination programme while ignoring and suppressing information that indicates this response is not proportionate to the risk.
Finally, I ask you to please provide me by Monday 10am April 27th Central European Time in the form of email attachments, links, legal memos etc the following documentation so that I can review it before submitting fresh criminal charges related to this matter.
Specifically, I ask you to send me or to instruct one of your personnel to send me
1) The studies you have to date on the swine flu vaccination you intend to inoculate the US population with, with clear evidence from respected scientific sources such as clinical trials reported in peer reviewed scientific journals as to their unequivocal safety:
2) Information as to the genetic sequence of the swine flu strain detected by WHO in victims of the "swine flu" outbreak in Mexico and America so far;
3) Information as to which companies WHO has contracted to provide a swine flu vaccination and under what terms and conditions, including quality assurance, financial terms and conditions;
4) A detailed account of all the safety procedures and independent reviews that WHO has put into place for ensuring any vaccination meets recognised standards of safety and quality;
5) Documents proving that you have the legal authority in the case of a swine flu to declare a pandemic and enforce mass vaccinations for the swine flu on the population in the form of legal memos, rulings etc.
Please send all the above documents as email attachments.
If you miss the Monday deadline, I will argue in my submission to the court that you do not have the documents.
I ask you to make sure you keep a copy of the email to me so that you can prove to a court that you a) had all the requisite authority and documents and b) that you had them at hand and available for public and legal scrutiny at short notice in an emergency situation as is your obligation as a public servant.
I will argue that if you have ordered your WHO officers to man the pandemic control room 24/7 from Friday April 24, as reported in the media, then you have an extra obligation to be on duty yourself this weekend and your failure to be on duty in the event of an emergency you have declared is a violation of the rules of conduct of your office.
As you have sufficient personnel at hand, I will argue, you can delegate this job of collecting the documents and materials I request in 1)-5) to a member of your staff and still be available to follow the "pandemic" which you claim is occurring.
If you send me these documents after the Monday deadline, please make sure to keep a copy of the email so that you can prove in a court of law that you had the necessary authority, and documents proving you had that authority at hand, and could present them speedily as is required of a public servant in such an "emergency".
In case you wish to study the criminal charges I have filed on April 8th and wish to be able to better comprehend the legal basis for the criminal charges that I will file on Monday April the 27th, I attach a copy in German.
I can also suggest my blog where I have published the charges in an English translation, though only the first 20 pages or so have so far been translated.
http://birdflu666.wordpress.com/
The introduction on the blog, however, also gives an outline of my evidence and arguments.
I am also copying in below two media reports that give substance to some of the allegations I make in this email, underlining relevant points, including the information indicating this new strain of a swine flu could be a bioweapon "mysteriously" released.
If you have any comments or would like to point out any facts you think are errors please get back to me as soon as possible. I would be happy to answer any questions.
Regards, Jane

As you have sufficient personnel at hand, I will argue, you can delegate this job of collecting the documents and materials I request in 1)-5) to a member of your staff and still be available to follow the "pandemic" which you claim is occurring.
If you send me these documents after the Monday deadline, please make sure to keep a copy of the email so that you can prove in a court of law that you had the necessary authority, and documents proving you had that authority at hand, and could present them speedily as is required of a public servant in such an "emergency".
In case you wish to study the criminal charges I have filed on April 8th and wish to be able to better comprehend the legal basis for the criminal charges that I will file on Monday April the 27th, I attach a copy in German.
I can also suggest my blog where I have published the charges in an English translation, though only the first 20 pages or so have so far been translated.
http://birdflu666.wordpress.com/
The introduction on the blog, however, also gives an outline of my evidence and arguments.
I am also copying in below two media reports that give substance to some of the allegations I make in this email, underlining relevant points, including the information indicating this new strain of a swine flu could be a bioweapon "mysteriously" released.
If you have any comments or would like to point out any facts you think are errors please get back to me as soon as possible. I would be happy to answer any questions.
Regards, Jane

Nicolaas Pieter Johannes Janse van Rensburg
Why do i keep coming back to the boere. Their ways and beliefs and customs?
I have 1/4 boer blood, the rest as english as the queen, but to be fair, i am a South African, born and bred. I have stayed on farms in the Karoo, and Drakensburg, and elsewhere, where the traditions remain the same as a century or two ago, and the honest simplicity is always slightly surprising.
And there is religion. Christianity. It IS in me, i am the son of preachers.
Having a love for history is part of it, but i can't shake the feeling that out greatest history lies before us. There is much that is not spoken of, nor acknowledged.
Farmhouse politics
I'm heartbroken. This fucking country that was so much, has now been dragged into the gutter, and is being kicked to death. The fucking anc, it's youth league and it's veterans, stupid, brutal, blind idiots the lot.
The war of words is only that ... for now. But the young and old threatening "ungovernable" and "militant action" ..... what the fucking fuck i ask you????
What have the last 15 years been about? They have everything, except 1 white woman on her knees ... and they want that too. God it makes me sick. Read this article, see what these fucking animals are saying in cprporate meetings, more important than thefucking homeless starving that we have so many of, they insist on calling Helen Zille a "whore" ... when all she did was point out the infidelty, stupidity, and carelessness of their own dipshit boss.
I'll stop now.

The ANC has distanced itself from what it said was a "deeply embarrassing" attack by the ANC Youth League on DA leader Helen Zille. As the war of words over her description of President Jacob Zuma as an "Aids risk" escalated, the MK Military Veterans' Association (MKMVA) threatened to make the Western Cape, where Zille is premier, ungovernable.
Zille had not responded to the Youth League's slur, except to say that her reference to Zuma was based on "the facts".
Temperatures rose further yesterday with the MKMVA launching a vituperative attack. Chairman Kebbey Maphatsoe said during a Luthuli House briefing that the real reasons for Zille appointing an all-male cabinet was so that its members were "kept close enough to satisfy her well-evolved wild whore libido".
"They are also kept in her power corridors isolated from other women, so as to satisfy her and her alone; hence the exclusion of other women as they pose undesired sexual competition to her undying lust for sex with her male groupies.
"She is a fascist of the worst kind, who, after evidently sleeping with more than her fair share of white males in her preferred lifestyle of serial monogamy, now turns around and demonises those who are honest to their cultural preferences," said Maphatsoe. He said that if Zille did not "refrain from this anti-African and racist behaviour", the MKMVA would not hesitate to launch a political programme aimed at rendering the Western Cape ungovernable.
SACP general secretary and Higher Education and Training Minister Blade Nzimande questioned Zille's sanity and described the province she now governed as a "bantustan of a special order".
"I'm worried if Helen Zille is still together upstairs," Nzimande told a National Union of Metalworkers of SA meeting.
At issue is Zille's response to ANC attacks on the composition of her mostly white, all-male provincial cabinet. She pointed out that the ANC itself had never been led by a woman, while its alliance partners, Cosatu and the SACP, were also led by men. She added that Zuma was a "self-confessed womaniser with deeply sexist views who had put all his wives at risk by having unprotected sex with an HIV-positive woman".
This prompted a furious response from the ANCYL, with its spokesperson Floyd Shivambu retorting: "Zille has appointed an all-male cabinet of useless people, the majority of whom are her boyfriends and concubines, so that she can continue to sleep around with them, yet she claims to have the moral authority to question our president".
It is this statement the ANC has condemned, with its secretary-general Gwede Mantashe saying the league's comments reflected "a marked departure from the ANC's approach to political engagement".
However, Shivambu stuck to his guns yesterday, seemingly undeterred by the ANC's condemnation of his statement or the possible threat of legal action by Zille. He said the league would not be seeking an audience with Mantashe in a bid to seek common ground over Zille.
"We are not changing anything. We are sticking by our statement," said Shivambu, who yesterday had to deal with more than 50 abusive, often racist calls and text messages after the Afrikaans daily Die Burger gave his cellphone number.
But ANC spokesperson Lindiwe Zulu said yesterday: "There has to be a meeting." She said she was "100 percent sure" that Zuma had had a hand in the ANC's statement.
Zille yesterday even received a reprimand of sorts from within her own party, with the DA's youth wing urging her to focus on the job at hand rather than continue trading insults.
DA Youth spokesperson Khume Ramulifho said it was time for an end to the rhetoric in order to focus on delivery.
"When the DA federal council meets at the end of the month we are going to call on the DA leadership to focus on the main goals, because all these rhetorical statements being made are just to distract us."
The youth wing said it supported Zille's cabinet appointments, saying women's representivity would not solve service delivery problems.
The SA Human Rights Commission expressed concern over the tone of the attacks.

Manhood
Thanks to Pstonie for sharing this link with me.
http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/sfo/279126743.html
It's about being a man. Simple list of do's and don'ts. Most of them so stupidly obvious you wonder why he mentions them, but they NEED to be said.
Frequently.

Bike Clubs
This is shamelessly stolen from the Think Bike forum. Thank you to Tosh, someone who i've ridden with before, who has popped his head up :D
Think Bike has said and done a lot to dispel the "club" image. In this they have failed miserably. The politics involved with ANY groups of people, is usually too much to control, and somehow the worst in people always comes out.
I'm NOT a club person, for many of the usual reasons, and frankly the clubbishness that is starting to manifest is alienating me somewhat.
It is the difference between individuality and ego. (IMHO)
____________________________________________________________________________
Like arseholes we all have opinions, and I would like to voice mine.
Let me start by saying I am a new member to Think Bike and this has nothing to do with the campaign or its internal structures.
I read an article on the forum which has made me dig out the old typewriter and Tipex. (For those young ‘uns – a typewriter - noun an electric, electronic, or manual machine with keys for producing print-like characters and Tipex – is a manual deleting fluid)
The article was headed: - ‘I need some advise.’
Without being a horse’s arse, I presumed what the writer was asking for was some advice as to how her bike clubs policies may or may not be the same as other clubs etc.
I do not wish to dwell on the detail of the post but rather the very humorous answers which were regurgitated by some of the non-club affiliated members.
Take this from where it comes: – Thom Sherrard – Midnight Sting JHB President
The difference between an association/ affiliation and a club is in its definition a world apart***??
Association - a group of people organized for a joint purpose
Affiliation - officially attach or connected to an organization
Club - an association dedicated to a particular interest or activity
I am no genius and do not have a great command of the English language, however I am prepared to go out on a limb and admit that I am confused as to the literal specifications as to the differences between the three words.
They are all very similar; however, if I admit to being associated or affiliated to a biking community, I do not hear the careless whispers being muttered under those laboured breaths. Should I, however, be so irresponsible as to admit I am a member of a bike club the mutters and the whispers start? Why?
The public in general are naïve due to a lack of knowledge, as well as having a healthy fear of the unknown. I say healthy as I don’t necessarily want them to know that we eat, sleep, shit, work, breed, love and die. Best we keep these secrets to ourselves and take them to the grave.
Those that know me know that when I ride, I ride with pride; I wear my name on my chest, heart on my sleeve and my colours on my back as do many other proud club members. I have flaws and have a history, some good some, well, not so good… I read somewhere ‘he who has no sin, throw the first stone’.
I would like to give some insight into the brotherhood of a club. (I speak of only my experiences and not hearsay).
Our creed is simple – Respect, dedication, brotherhood
We are like minded motorcyclists, who come together as brothers and sisters with a very high level of commitment to our club, in pursuit of having fun while doing something we enjoy, keeping in mind our greater goal of supporting each other as well as some worthwhile causes.
We set an example of what we believe in; Respect, dedication and brotherhood. Living life, free spirited without being abusive to ourselves or others while at the same time not forgetting our responsibilities to family and club. (The woman riders may be interested to know that they are very welcome into our brotherhood, I use the term brotherhood for the ease of writing this, I am not being gender specific.)
On an open forum like TB there is no accountability or responsibility as to what people post….easy isn’t it. Imagine if life were like that.
You could post on your company’s internal mail system exactly what you think of your boss, staff or your colleagues etc. I think not.
Too risky, scared to **** off the boss, or is it your respect for him, or his position that stops you. Maybe it’s your responsibility to your family and you may think that you have much to lose, maybe.
In a bike club you are not dealing with an Avatar, nickname or a status ranking. You are not able to lambaste a person in Cape Town while sitting in your air-conditioned office in Johannesburg. You need to address the horses arse himself – face to face.
In a club you are held accountable and responsible for your actions, and through this process respect is earned. Sometimes holding ones tongue may lead to the most incredible feeling – respect. With respect, any issue can be addressed, no matter how difficult to swallow. What’s more by having mutual respect you always walk away a man. (It makes me think of some great words written by Rudyard Kipling – If- I will attach it, for my indulgence.)
Politics happen in every environment, especially in a biking community. Most bikers are strong willed, assertive and have an inner belief. Not a good combination if you are looking for weak sheep to follow the ramblings of a dictator.
We elect our leaders, committees and members by a democratic vote, the office holders share the work load of running the club to make it run smoothly and to help achieve the goals, objectives and discipline within the club.
Bike clubs are not for everybody. It takes dedication, effort, self sacrifice and respect. These are hard values to share with people outside your immediate family, and often even within your own family.
I have had the privilege to have loved, lost, buried and lived inside a community of the most incredible people who have helped mould me into the man I am today.
When people who share the same values, share time with each other, an internal and serious life bond is formed. If you add to that a love of freedom, independence, biking and a little dose of individualism it is easy to understand why people like this choose to ride together, and show solidarity by riding under one flag/colour.
Why follow the pack when we are all individuals. Climb on your bike take a few mates with you and go find yourself.

Man school
Carsten Koall / Visum
Der Spiegel
For Turkish men living in Germany, talking about difficult life issues -- sex, women, abandonment and raising children -- is not always easy. But one group in Berlin has found a way to help its members reflect upon their roles and their traditions -- and sometimes to change their lives.
The last time Muhammet A. saw his wife outside a courtroom, she hit him. They'd been married for 20 years and had five children together, but now she stood in the doorway of his new apartment in Berlin's Neukölln district, screaming and pounding her fists against his chest.
He had hardly seen her since she left him abruptly in the spring of 2005. Now she was yelling at him in Turkish and demanding the children back. But Muhammet had already decided that she wouldn't get the children. So, now, there was only one important thing to do -- stay calm. "If you stay calm," Kazim Erdogan, a 55-year-old psychologist, had told him in a fathers' group, "then you can have everything, absolutely everything."
So Muhammet held his fingers firmly laced behind his back -- another trick Erdogan had taught him -- so that his hands wouldn't accidentally slip out of his control. If they did, the Office of Youth and Family Services would certainly take his children away, even if he lashed out only once and in self-defense. The world can be so unfair -- and the others in the fathers' group agree.
__________________________________________________________________________
Read the whole article, it's very illuminating. Why are there not more of these? In our society, although it must be even harder when an immigrant, in an alien social environment. One of the things i feelvery strongly about, is that today's men are not men, merely overgrown little boys.
Now before all the woman cheer, i am being serious, and it is a problem. Woman enter womanhood early, with the onset of natural physical symptoms, which make them aware of themselves, and their coming adulthood. Men have no such thing. Moreso, they don't even think, or speak of manhood. It's accepted. You're a MAN from early, if you behave in certain ways. Yet the numbers of "boy-men" i encounter is quite alarming. These are men in their 20's, who still behave, feel and act, as teens.
One of the greatest losses our society suffers from, is the loss of manhood rites. For my part, i have been able to identify certain scenarios in my life which achieved that end, and eventually i was able to understand, i am a man. The truth is though, i'm a terribly inward sort of person, given to pondering these things. Most don't. Most accept almost anything that comes their way, with a sense of entitlement, without understanding the responsibilities OF THAT entitlement.
And frankly, there are no "wise men" around, to have that quiet word in the man's ear when he has erred. The best he can hope for are his buddies, as much deluded and blind as himself. Something as simple as this, where the man humbly recognises that despite everything, he needs help, and is also willing to help his friends.
This is not about competition, we've all lost the race already. This is about comeraderie, about making it yourself, and helping others along the way.
Kazim Erdogan, a 55-year-old psychologist, is a man among men. He not only understands the problems, but is willing and able to give a small amount of good advice, to the unsung leaders in our midst.

Sunspot cycle beginning to rise
11/05/2009 14:10 - (SA)
Crap. Total bullshit. How on earth can they call this news?
This news article is wrong, misleading ... the sun is at it's quiet in living history. It was DUE to start cycle 24 last year already, and NASA has been wiping egg off it's face since then. They said: ... then they said: ... and then theysaid again. Each time udating their forecasts to reflect the total failure of their previous forecasts.
While it's a fair article in terms of Sunstorms 101, and how they may affect us, it's typical that its so broadly put, just numbers and facts, all unrelated and frankly has nothing to do with the current solar minimum.
I quote: "A preliminary forecast issued in 2007 was split over the outlook for the upcoming cycle, Biesecker said the researchers have now reached consensus."
No, that preliminary forecast was updated SEVERAL times, and no, the only consensus that those monkeys have reached is that they know less than fuckall about their chosen subject.

No, that preliminary forecast was updated SEVERAL times, and no, the only consensus that those monkeys have reached is that they know less than fuckall about their chosen subject.
Congratulations Captain Charles Stobbart
SAA captain breaks 70-year flight record

"I'm absolutely blown away," said SAA captain Charles "Chalkie" Stobbart, 60, after walking out of the one-engined, home- built airplane he flew to beat a 70-year-old aviation record by 18 hours and 59 minutes.
Stobbart flew the return trip from Cape Town to London in three days, 15 hours and 17 minutes, bringing the world record back to South Africa.
The previous record was set in 1939 by Alex Henshaw, who flew the return trip from London to Cape Town in four days, 10 hours and 16 minutes in a single-engined aircraft.
"I'm elated, and of course my head is still shaky from all the bouncing in the airplane," Stobbart said. "There were hours and hours of boredom punctuated by moments of sheer terror," he said, citing dust storms in the Sahara and freezing rain.
The trip had been well-prepared, well-planned and well-executed, but Stobbart experienced some technical difficulties, he said. He accidentally sat on his satellite phone, which broke, and his stormscope, which shows weather patterns on the route, was not functioning either.
"The full moon shining was my only guide through the thunderstorm between Kano and Brazzaville after sunset to see the developments in the clouds," he said.
Stobbart made three fuelling stops in Africa on both legs of the trip. He arrived in London, slept for 12 hours and left early on Sunday morning for the south-bound trip.
"I'd hoped to knock a day off the record, but with the bureaucracy in Africa, every stop I planned for a one-hour rest became two hours," he said.
His first delay was in Brazzaville, Republic of the Congo, because the airport was closed while the president was flying to Jacob Zuma's inauguration.
Stobbart's wife Maureen said she was overwhelmed by the fantastic response and support the family has received.
"We've all been glued to watching his flight on the computer," she said, adding that she has slept for about eight hours since he took off on Thursday. When she talked to him during the trip, he said he was exhausted, had a "numb bum", and was also deaf in one ear because of the non-stop noise on the aircraft.
"It's been a stressful three- and-a-half days, and the team has battled with communications because they could only talk to him while he was on the ground while the plane was refuelling," said challenge co-ordinator Dolph Kruger.

Axe man
I need an axe.
I've developed a twitch under my left eye. Its annoying.
Suits my mood though .... and intent.
I've developed a twitch under my left eye. Its annoying.
Suits my mood though .... and intent.
One of my turns
Day after day, love turns gray
Like the skin of a dying man.
Night after night, we pretend its all right
But I have grown older and
You have grown colder and
Nothing is very much fun any more.
And I can feel one of my turns coming on.
I feel cold as a razor blade,
Tight as a tourniquet,
Dry as a funeral drum.
Run to the bedroom,
In the suitcase on the left
You'll find my favorite axe.
Don't look so frightened
This is just a passing phase,
One of my bad days.
Would you like to watch T.V.?
Or get between the sheets?
Or contemplate the silent freeway?
Would you like something to eat?
Would you like to learn to fly?
Would'ya?
Would you like to see me try?
AAAH, no!
Would you like to call the cops?
Do you think it's time I stopped?
Why are you running away?

The Tide is Turning
I used to think the world was flat
Rarely threw my hat into the crowd
I felt I had used up my quota of yearning
Used to look in on the children at night
In the glow of their Donald Duck light
And frighten myself with the thought of my little ones burning
But, oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
The tide is turning
Satellite buzzing through the endless night
Exclusive to moonshots and world title fights
Jesus Christ imagine what it must be earning
Who is the strongest
Who is the best
Who holds the aces
The East
Or the West
This is the crap our children are learning
But oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
The tide is turning
Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
Now the satellite's confused
'Cos on Saturday night
The airwaves were full of compassion and light
And his silicon heart warmed
To the sight of a billion candles burning
Oo, oo, oo, the tide is turning
Oo, oo, oo, the tide is turning
The tide is turning Billy
I'm not saying that the battle is won
But on Saturday night all those kids in the sun
Wrested technology's sword from the hand of the war lords
Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
The tide is turning Sylvester
The tide is turning
[Morse Code:] "That's it!
Now the past is over but you are not alone
Together we'll fight Sylvester Stallone
We will not be dragged down in his South China Sea
Of macho bullshit and mediocrity"
- Roger Waters

CME -5 May
5th May Coronal mass ejection
Just caught this, very impressive explosion on the sun. It's beautiful :)
Also very notable since there are 2 sunspots close to each other, seemingly quite large. Keeping an eye on this.

Nuclear weapons
So the US and Isreal have made A LOT of noise about Iran aquiring any nuclear technology. Yet time and again ALL inspectors, form the UN to the US's own investigations have confirmed that Iran does not have weapons grade plutonium or uranium. Also, Iran is not close to getting it, and cannot in fact produce anything remotely close to weapons grade material for several years.
There is no threat from Iran.
However, closer to home (for the US) is Egyp, a country who is firmly pro america, anti freedoms and fairly close to an islamist state.
So what a urprise when highly enriched uranium (HEU) -- at or near weapons grade level has been traced there.
"The IAEA says that it is the first time such traces have been found since Egypt failed to notify the agency of its nuclear activities in 2004 and that it was continuing its investigation into the matter."
From: PressTV
Update: and then i found this little snippet at MOA:
Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul-Gheit conveyed the concerns this week when U.S. envoy Dennis Ross, who is dealing with Iran, visited Cairo.
"Iran's behavior in the region is negative in many aspects and does not help in advancing security, stability and peace," he told Ross.

Ducati 1000S
So this weekend i was in soweto, part of GO-GP.ORG's efforts to create awareness for the upcoming world superbike championship at Kyalami mid-May.
And after arriving early,and walking around the parking, just looking, a van pulls into the lot with 2 Ducatis on the trailer. Now Ducati's are pretty, but like all super vehicles, i lose interest when they are too glamorous.
However from across a parking lot, on a trailer, next to much more modern, sleek bikes, my attention was totally taken by this baby. Love is the only word. The classic cafe racer look, with modern technology, it is a masterpiece of design.
It screams "ride me!" and carresses your senses until in a haze, you can only submit and climb on board, the handlebars and dash so beautiful in simple brushed metal, white clocks, and elegant chrome trim.
