EPA On Radiation Alert As Fires Reach 50 Feet From Los Alamos Nuke Plant

The wildfire that threatens to consume the Los Alamos nuclear lab in New Mexico is now approaching the perimeter of the facility, with the Environmental Protection Agency on radiation alert for the deadly consequences of 20,000 barrels of nuclear waste going up in flames.

Having been miles away from the nuclear lab just yesterday, the fires have now reached to within 50 feet of the facility, with officials fearing a “major calamity” because the nuclear waste is not securely contained in a concrete structure, but is unbelievably stored “in a sort of fabric-type building that a fire could easily consume,” according to former top security official Glen Walp.

WND sues Esquire for faked report

WASHINGTON – WND is filing a lawsuit in the nation's capital today seeking tens of millions of dollars in damages for a faked "report" in Esquire magazine that falsely said a New York Times best-selling book, "Where's the Birth Certificate? The Case That Barack Obama Is Not Eligible To Be President," by Jerome Corsi, Ph.D., had been pulled from store shelves by the publisher.

The claim has been filed by attorney Larry Klayman for Joseph Farah, editor and chief executive officer of WND,  on behalf of the company, WND Books, himself and author Corsi.

Defendants named include Esquire Magazine Inc., parent company the Hearst Corp., and Mark Warren, the author of the false article.

"You can't just make up words and put them in people's mouths, deliberately misleading the public, deliberately defaming others and deliberately lying to inhibit commerce," Farah said. "Media institutions such as Esquire magazine and its parent, the Hearst Corporation, for which I was employed for nearly a decade, should know better. And they will as a result of this lawsuit."

Rush Limbaugh: U.S. has no chance with Obama

His record is so God-awful. It's miserable. It's depressing. It's stifling'

PALM BEACH, Fla. – Even as President Obama was holding a news conference today on economic matters, top-rated radio host Rush Limbaugh declared the U.S. simply cannot recover financially as long as Obama remains in power.

Rush Limbaugh

"As long as Obama's in the Oval Office or on the golf course or in some diner eating greasy hamburgers or in charge of the executive branch, as long as his party controls any part of Congress, this nation cannot recover," Limbaugh said on his program. "We do not have a chance. This country does not have a chance with Barack Obama remaining in the Oval Office."

Limbaugh said the way to increase jobs and growth, opportunity and wealth is through capitalism, not what he claimed the president has been promoting since his inauguration.

"We've just been through 29 months of socialism," Limbaugh said. "It's miserable. It's depressing. It's stifling. It destroys the national mood. We need to contain the government."

 Join the "No More Red Ink" campaign today and send letters to all 240 House Republicans on the issue of outrageous American debt today.

He continued: "We Americans are not perfect, but one thing we did that we will pay for for decades to come, and our children and grandchildren will pay for, is the election of a man to the presidency who is historic in the sense of his ignorance, his stubbornness, his incompetence and his contempt for the American system. That's what's historic about Barack Obama, not the color of his skin. We blew it big-time in 2008, and we are going to pay for it for decades. At some point we have to start fixing this."

Limbaugh said Obama has no intention of running for re-election on his record of performance thus far.

"His record is so God-awful, there is no way anyone who's rational could conclude otherwise," he explained.

"To agree with Obama and the ruling class, you have to ignore the trustees who oversee our entitlement programs. You have to ignore the Congressional Budget Office. You have to ignore major credit-rating bureaus. You have to ignore the unemployment, foreclosure and bankruptcy figures. If you want to agree with Obama, you have to ignore everything else you're hearing. You have to assume everybody else is lying and that only Obama is telling the truth. You have to ignore all the measurements and trends rational people look at to determine policies. You have to ignore all of that to agree with Obama."

Adobe book editor positive: Obama certificate is phony

NEW YORK – A nationally recognized computer expert who has served as contributing author and technical editor for more than 100 books on Adobe and Microsoft software says the Obama long-form birth-certificate image released by the White House is a fraudulent document created with Adobe software.

"The PDF file released by the White House contains evidence of manipulation suggesting that one or more forgers utilized existing Hawaiian birth certificates to assemble fraudulently for Barack Obama a document the president presented to the world as authentic," Mara Zebest told WND.

Zebest has prepared a full analysis of the image that was presented April 27 by Barack Obama to the world as a copy of his original birth documentation in the state of Hawaii.

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- One of baseball's proudest franchises is in tatters, its future to be decided not on the field but in the courtroom.

Protective flood berm collapses at Ft Calhoun nuclear plant; KSU has radioactive leak

Rady Ananda, Contributing Writer
Activist Post

Overwhelmed by the rising Missouri River, a 2000-foot stretch of a protective water balloon, surrounding the Fort Calhoun nuclear power plant in Nebraska, collapsed at 1:25 AM on Sunday, June 26.

Two days earlier, Kansas State University reported an emergency when radiation leaked at 149 times the Derived Air Concentration (DAC) limit for Iodine during a trial run of its reactor.

Six and a half hours after the Ft Calhoun water berm collapsed, operators reported it to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, registering it as a “non-emergency.”

Homosexual Pride: Celebrating The Restructuring Of America Into Depravity

NY Gov. Cuomo

In the wake of the recent vote to redefine and restructure society in New York to allow homosexuals to legitimatize their activities under the covering of the legitimacy of marriage, many articles and writers have left me with a sense that they do not understand the issues involved.  First, many people are under the mistaken belief that God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah because of homosexuality. Any serious student of the Bible will tell you that homosexuality is simply a symptom of a much larger problem and offense against God. God tells us in Ezekiel 16 what the sin of Sodom actually was:

"Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good.” Ezekiel 16:49-50

Secondly, although homosexuality is an individual’s choice, the book of Romans gives us an insight that widespread cultural homosexuality and other depravity is actually a societal judgement from God for failing to acknowledge Him as Creator:

"Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four footed beasts, and creeping things. 

Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;.” Romans 1:21-28

Interfaith service at Washington National Cathedral promotes Christlam

As worshipers entered Washington National Cathedral for Sunday morning’s service, some crossed themselves and some took photographs, some wore ties while others wore shorts and a few even wore yarmulkes. In the center aisle, in place of the baptismal fountain, candle-lit stands bore three books: a Bible, a Torah and a Koran. When a visitor asked a nearby usher what to do, the usher replied: “This is a totally different service than what we usually do. There’s no wrong answer.”   Read the story>>>

Predatory Car Sales Tricks To Watch Out For

(The Consumerist)

Effective car salesmen have a sizable bag of tricks from which to draw when moving in for the kill. To avoid falling prey to the ruses, you need to know how to spot them.

CNNMoney is there for you, identifying several smooth operations that salesmen are known to attempt. Among them:

*Telling you your credit is bad. It's best to know your credit score, or better yet, secure your own financing before heading to a dealership. Fail to do so and you'll be defenseless if the finance guy tells you your credit is sub-par and tries to offer you a poor financing deal.

*Trying to sell you on lower payments. Finance guys can tack all sorts of ridiculous fees onto your price, as well as future interest, and still make it appear as though you're getting a better deal by stretching out your loan term to lower your payment.

*Hard-selling you on the extended warranty. First off, if you're convinced you're about to purchase a hunk of junk that could break down as soon as the manufacturer's warranty expires, you should probably reconsider buying the vehicle. Once salesmen are sure they've got you sold, they often try to get you to cough up more for an extended warranty by putting a scare in you about potential major repair costs in the future. Remember that even if you really want an extended warranty, you don't have to commit to one at the bargaining table.

What car sales tricks are you most wary of?

Lawsuit Accuses Home Depot Of Violating Buy American Act

Home Depot is taking legal heat for possibly violating the Buy American Act of 1933, which requires that materials used to build public construction products come from the U.S. The U.S. Department of Justice is investigating the company due to accusations that it purchases products from China and other foreign countries, and offers those products to government agencies online.  Read the story >>>

Police Report: All Assault Rapists in Oslo Follow Muhammad

Defenders of Islam call it a "religion of peace" but many Norwegian women are learning that Islam is the religion of rape.

Stunning numbers want Congress to probe Obama's eligibility

Editor's note: This is another in a series of monthly "WND/WENZEL POLLS" conducted exclusively for WND by the public-opinion research and media consulting company Wenzel Strategies.

Barack Obama

 

Half of Americans would like to see Congress investigate Barack Obama's eligibility for the presidency and nearly that many believe the definition of the constitutional term "natural born citizen" means both parents must be U.S. citizens, according to a new scientific poll.

"There's no marginalizing those who want this matter investigated by Congress," said Fritz Wenzel of Wenzel Strategies, who conducted the WND/Wenzel Poll telephone survey June 16-19. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.85 points.

"Even among Democrats, more than one in four – 28 percent – said they now want an inquiry, as do 43 percent of independents and 77 percent of Republicans. Interestingly, men are much more skeptical than are women about the question of eligibility – only 42 percent of men said they think Obama proved his eligibility by releasing the electronic birth certificate, compared to 59 percent of women."

Funniest race crash you'll ever see

Americans believe Obama destroying their freedoms

And they are RIGHT!

Editor's note: This is another in a series of "Freedom Index" polls conducted exclusively for WND by the public-opinion research and media consulting company Wenzel Strategies.

Barack Obama

 

 

The WND Freedom Index has taken a nosedive, with more than two in three Americans – including significant numbers of Democrats – expressing alarm that Barack Obama's tenure in office is costing them their freedoms, and pollster Fritz Wenzel says it might be too late for him recover in time for the 2012 election.

Noting that the Freedom Index plunged to 45.9, its lowest mark in the two years it's been monitored, Wenzel of Wenzel Strategies said:

"It will be very difficult to dramatically improve these now negative perceptions that Americans hold toward their government because with every downward movement in this index, people lose just a little more trust in their government. It is hard to see anything on the horizon that government leaders – especially President Obama – can use to rebuild that bond, especially before November 2012."

What's Missing from this Story?

by Steven Hayward

Nature magazine--not exactly on the top of the sales rack even at Barnes & Noble (I subscribe)--last week reported a bizarre story that is receiving no attention in the U.S. media that I've seen: The Eurocrats in Brussels have uncovered a massive organized crime effort that secured $72 million in fraudulent scientific research grants. An excerpt:

The Facts About Fracking

The U.S. is in the midst of an energy revolution, and we don't mean solar panels or wind turbines. A new gusher of natural gas from shale has the potential to transform U.S. energy production—that is, unless politicians, greens and the industry mess it up.

Only a decade ago Texas oil engineers hit upon the idea of combining two established technologies to release natural gas trapped in shale formations. Horizontal drilling—in which wells turn sideways after a certain depth—opens up big new production areas. Producers then use a 60-year-old technique called hydraulic fracturing—in which water, sand and chemicals are injected into the well at high pressure—to loosen the shale and release gas (and increasingly, oil).

Christians willing to believe anything?

Republic (Free from things public) Vs. Democracy (A mob for a king)

“The multitude of those who err is no protection for error.”¹

“But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus. The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas. Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? [They] all say unto him, Let him be crucified. And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified. When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but [that] rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed [his] hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye [to it]. Then answered all the people, and said, His blood [be] on us, and on our children.” (Mt 27:20, 25)

“Throughout history, rulers and court intellectuals have aspired to use the educational system to shape their nations, The model was set out by Plato in The Republic and was constructed most faithfully in Soviet Russia, Fascist Italy, and Nazi Germany.... One can see how irresistible a vehicle the schools would be to any social engineer. They represent a unique opportunity to mold future citizens early in life, to instill in them the proper reverence for the ruling culture, and to prepare them to be obedient and obeisant taxpayers and soldiers.”²

“Our forefathers, inhabitants of the island of Great Britain, left their native land, to seek on these shores a residence for civil and religious freedom.”³

Civil and religious freedom had become difficult to find in Great Britain. The people were willing to brave tremendous hardships, even death by the thousands, in order to find that freedom. Did those people feel that there was civil and religious freedom to be found here in the Americas?   Read More>>>

THE GOVERNOR NO ONE’S TALKING ABOUT

The Job Killing Governor. Train Wreck of a Governor. Is [He] the Country’s Worst Governor? These are just a few of the headlines used to characterize Governor Rick Scott of Florida who is making tough decisions that President Obama is not.  Rick Scott has shaken up Florida, in a profound way, and is receiving little to no credit for it.

We hear about Chris Christie, Scott Walker, and John Kasich, all who have received much-deserved praise and adulation, but how often do we hear about Governor Rick Scott?  Almost never, and yet he deserves far more publicity than what he’s received.

Scott won the 2010 election without the endorsement of a single major newspaper.  His first day in office, he did away with the state plane, and he refuses to take a paycheck.  Not only is he in touch with the people, he has produced verifiable results.

Though Florida still has an unemployment rate of 10.6%, Florida created more jobs in May than any other state in the nation.    Read More>>>>>>>
