Britain's fury over settlement of Guantánamo Uighurs in Bermuda
06-15-2009  •  London Times 
The British Government responded with ill-disguised fury to the news that 4 Chinese Uighurs freed from Guantanamo Bay had been flown for resettlement on Bermuda.
 
 
The Government of Bermuda failed to consult with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office on the decision to take in the Uighurs " whose return is demanded by Beijing " and it could now be forced to send them back to Cuba or risk a grave diplomatic crisis.

Moving Towards Tobacco Prohibition
Powell Gammill
   by Ron Paul.  Last week, another bill was passed and signed into law that takes more of our freedoms and violates the Constitution of the United States.  It was, of course, done for the sake of the children, and in the name of the health of the citizenry.  It’s always the case that when your liberty is seized, it is seized for your own good.  Such is the condescension of Washington. The Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act will give sweeping new powers over tobacco to the FDA.  It will require everyone engaged in manufacturing, preparing, compounding, or processing tobacco to

Sen. Durbin cashed out before big stock collapse
06-15-2009  •  Sun Times 

[insider trading alert] As U.S. stock markets plummeted last September, the Senate's No. 2 Democrat, Dick Durbin, sold more than $115,000 worth of stocks and mutual-fund shares and used much of the money to invest in Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc.

The Illinois senator's 2008 financial disclosure statement shows he sold mutual-fund shares worth $42,696 on Sept. 19, the day after then-Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke urged congressional leaders in a closed meeting to craft legislation to help financially troubled banks.

When President Barack Obama increased unemployment benefits as part of his economic stimulus, he also made some Americans ineligible for hundreds of dollars a month in food stamps.
 
The law did not raise the income cap for food stamp eligibility, so the extra money has pushed some people over the limit.

More than 55 million years ago, the Earth experienced a rapid jump in global carbon dioxide levels that raised temperatures across the planet. Now, researchers studying plants from that time have found that the rising temperatures may have boosted the foraging of insects. As modern temperatures continue to rise, the researchers believe the planet could see increasing crop damage and forest devastation.  Read Full Story

My God, It's Full of Tsars
06-15-2009  •  C4SS / Thomas Knapp 

Obama’s appointment of “tsars” to handle various policy issues (at his behest, under his direction, and subject to his personal veto, of course " but unlikely to be contested at all, let alone successfully, at the “democratic” level) isn’t the problem. Rather it is just one of the predictable final symptoms of a degenerative disease hard-coded into the DNA of rule by the state.

Revolution in favor of another form of state may temporarily mitigate that symptom, but only revolution in favor of the stateless society has the potential to cure the disease.

I am actually optimistic about fusion energy science this time around. There has never been a real first time around to start with. It always was big science and huge budgets with oversized toys. Now at least three or more methodologies are in contention and even if they fail miserably, we will gain knowledge for what is small change.
