below-market-rate mortgages to the powerful and famous when he arranged
their loans, according to the executive's attorneys.

"violent jihad" by "murdering, kidnapping or maiming persons" overseas.
According to a federal indictment unsealed today, the alleged
ringleader, Daniel Patrick Boyd, and six co-defendants were accused of
conspiring to provide financial and material assistance to terrorists
abroad. The indictment does not allege the men planned to attack
targets within the U.S.

Iranian Leaders Urge Protections for Detained Protesters
07-27-2009
•
Washington Post
Top Iranian leaders called for greater protection for
opposition demonstrators arrested during this summer's protests after
at least 3 have died in custody.
Reflect concern, even among Iran's
ruling elite, that some of those detained are being mistreated by
officials and groups operating under the authority of the powerful
Revolutionary Guard Corps, which has taken an ever larger role in
Iranian affairs since protests over June's disputed presidential
election triggered a massive crackdown.

46% More Likely To Buy Ford ‘Cause It Didn’t Get A Bailout
07-27-2009
•
Rasmussen Reports
Public opposition to the auto bailouts may translating into consumer
buying decisions, with 46% of Americans now saying they are more likely
to buy a car from Ford because it did not take government money to stay in business.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone
survey finds that 13% say they are less likely to buy a Ford because
the company didn’t receive a bailout, and 37% say it has no impact on
their car buying.

Bond analyst skeptical of California's new budget
07-27-2009
•
AP
A bond analyst was skeptical about California's revised
budget, saying it was filled with accounting tricks that would do
little to improve the state's poor credit rating.
In addition, lenders may not be satisfied with
California's latest spending plan, which combines $15 billion in cuts
to education, prisons, parks and other aspects of state government with
accounting maneuvers and borrowing to

World Health Organization Secrecy Surrounding the Swine Flu Raises More Red Flags
7/27/09
•
American Chronical
Since the Swine Flu 'pandemic' allegedly began, it hasn't made any sense. Now the WHO is reportedly refusing to release the minutes of a key meeting, that involves executives from Pharmaceutical companies standing to make billions in profits. The WHO claims there are no minutes of the meeting that took place on July 7th -- a meeting in which guidelines on the 'need' for worldwide vaccinations adopted by the WHO were formulated by the executives of large Pharmaceutical companies. One of the UK government's top advisors -- who was among the first UK 'experts' to call the outbreak a pandemic -- on Swine Flu is reportedly a sitting board member of GlaxoSmithKline, offering more evidence of the deadly fraud being perpetrated against the world's population by their governments.

Will Bratton
The transport of these heavily equipped vehicles occurred a month
before NLE 09, the FEMA exercise that kicks off this week. Is it
possible these vehicles are related to the exercise aimed at
confronting “domestic terrorists,” defined by the DHS as “rightwing
extremists”?

The Recession Is Over!
07-27-2009
•
newsweek
The recession is over, Newsweek screams from the cover of its most recent issue, which is out today, and which you can read by clicking here.
Three things you need to know:
a) No, it isn't.
b) Magazines depend on rack sales for revenue.
c) Rack sales are driven by purposefully hyperbolic headlines, everything from "ELVIS LIVES!" to "The Recession Is Over!"
Once you read the story inside, you will see that Newsweek economics columnist Dan Gross hasn't exactly, definitively, proclaimed the end of the recession, now in its 19th month.
"The Great Recession," Gross writes, "is most likely over."
He admits this is a technicality. Recessions end when gross domestic
product stops shrinking. And that may actually happen later this year.
But he goes on to correctly state that unemployment will continue to
rise, just as it has after the end of previous recessions, and it will

It was February 2006, and the 21-year-old soldier had not been the same since being wounded and coming home from Iraq eight months before. He had violent outbursts and thrashing nightmares. He was devouring pain pills and drinking too much. He always packed a gun.

3,500 Out of 3,600 Can’t Be Wrong
07-27-2009
•
CameraFRAUD
The automated ticketing scheme ran by Redflex mailed out over 3,600 “notices” to individuals demanding that they appear for court this morning and CameraFRAUD estimates that less than 100 people actually showed up. (If thousands of “tickets” are mailed out in the desert, and no one responds, does the State’s cash register still make a sound?)
