The king of fairyland will never grasp the realities of the Middle East

A US leader in his second term should have the power to rein in Israel. But George Bush is no ordinary president

Of all the curious things that have been written about Israel's assault on Lebanon, surely the oddest is contained in Paddy Ashdown's article on these pages last Saturday. "There is only one solution to this crisis, and it is the same solution we have to find in Iraq: to go for a wider Middle East settlement and to do it urgently. The US cannot do this. But Europe can."

The US cannot do this? What on earth does he mean? At first sight his contention seems plain wrong. While Israel intends to sustain its occupation of Palestinian territory, a wider settlement is impossible. It surely follows that the country that has the greatest potential leverage over Israel is the country with the greatest power to broker peace. Israel's foreign policy and military strategy is dependent on the approval of the United States.

THE SCOTSMAN - 30th July 2006 Irish refused bombs sent to Prestwick airport

BOMBS destined to be used by Israel are being flown via Scotland only because the Irish government refused to allow them to land on its soil.

Scotland on Sunday can reveal that after the conflict in Lebanon began three weeks ago, Ireland turned down a United States request for planes carrying 600lb so-called bunker busters to refuel at Shannon airport in Co Clare.

As a result, cargo planes carrying the bombs, which the Israeli army is using in its offensive against the Hezbollah, are being flown via Prestwick airport in Ayrshire.

The War on Lebanon and the Battle for Oil

Is there a relationship between the bombing of Lebanon and the inauguration of the World's largest strategic pipeline, which will channel more than a million barrels of oil a day to Western markets?

Virtually unnoticed, the inauguration of the Ceyhan-Tblisi-Baku (BTC) oil pipeline, which links the Caspian sea to the Eastern Mediterranean, took place on the 13th of July, at the very outset of the Israeli sponsored bombings of Lebanon.

One day before the Israeli air strikes, the main partners and shareholders of the BTC pipeline project, including several heads of State and oil company executives were in attendance at the port of Ceyhan. They were then rushed off for an inauguration reception in Istanbul, hosted by Turkey's President Ahmet Necdet Sezer in the plush surroundings of the Çýraðan Palace.

Also in attendance was British Petroleum's (BP) CEO, Lord Browne together with senior government officials from Britain, the US and Israel. BP leads the BTC pipeline consortium. Other major Western shareholders include Chevron, Conoco-Phillips, France's Total and Italy's ENI. (see Annex)

Israel's Minister of Energy and Infrastructure Binyamin Ben-Eliezer was present at the venue together with a delegation of top Israeli oil officials.

China blasts Security Council silence over UN deaths in Lebanon

The UN Security Council by Tim Witcher United Nations (AFP) Jul 27, 2006 China on Thursday blasted the UN Security Council's failure to agree a statement condemning the killing of four UN peacekeepers in Lebanon, amid signs of a backlash on other key negotiations. An important meeting scheduled for Thursday of six major powers on a resolution against Iran's nuclear programme was postponed indefinitely -- the first apparent victim of the Security Council deadlock over the Israeli attack that led to the deaths.

The United States blocked any attempt to condemn the attack or criticise Israel, diplomats said.

Smoke signals from the battle of Bint Jbeil send a warning to Israel

Is it possible - is it conceivable - that Israel is losing its war in Lebanon?

From this hill village in the south of the country, I am watching the clouds of brown and black smoke rising from its latest disaster in the Lebanese town of Bint Jbeil: up to 13 Israeli soldiers dead, and others surrounded, after a devastating ambush by Hizbollah guerrillas in what was supposed to be a successful Israeli military advance against a "terrorist centre" .

To my left smoke rises too, over the town of Khiam, where a smashed United Nations outpost remains the only memorial to the four UN soldiers - most of them decapitated by an American-made missile on Tuesday - killed by the Israeli air force.

Outcry as border guards seize British 'dirty bomb' lorry heading for Iran

Border guards seized a British lorry on its way to make a delivery to the Iranian military - after discovering it was packed with radioactive material that could be used to build a dirty bomb.

The lorry set off from Kent on its way to Tehran but was stopped by officials at a checkpoint on Bulgaria's northern border with Romania after a scanner indicated radiation levels 200 times above normal.

The lorry was impounded and the Bulgarian Nuclear Regulatory Agency (NPA) was called out.

On board they found ten lead-lined boxes addressed to the Iranian Ministry of Defence. Inside each box was a soil-testing device, containing highly dangerous quantities of radioactive caesium 137 and americium-beryllium.

The soil testers had been sent to Iran by a British firm with the apparent export approval of the Department of Trade and Industry.

Judge Denies Bail, Adjourns Trial of Medical Workers Accused of Infecting Libyan Children With HIV After Defense Witnesses Fail To Appear

 Judge Mahmoud Haouissa, the presiding judge on the three-member tribunal of the Tripoli Criminal Court, on Tuesday adjourned until Aug. 8 the retrial of five Bulgarian nurses and a Palestinian physician accused of intentionally infecting hundreds of Libyan children with HIV after subpoenaed defense witnesses did not appear before the court, Reuters South Africa reports (Sarrar, Reuters South Africa, 7/25). The six medical workers were sentenced to death by firing squad in May 2004 for allegedly infecting 426 children through contaminated blood products at Al Fateh Children's Hospital in Benghazi, Libya. They also were ordered to pay a total of $1 million to the families of the HIV-positive children. The Libyan Supreme Court in December 2005 overturned the medical workers' convictions and ordered a retrial in a lower court. The health workers say they are innocent of the charges, claiming that they were forced to confess and that they were tortured by Libyan officials during interrogations. According to Bulgarian foreign ministry spokesperson Dimitar Tsanchev, the defense has provided the court with a list of 211 instances of psychological torture measures taken against the health workers based on the U. N.'s Istanbul Protocol, which declares psychological torture a crime (Kaiser Daily HIV/AIDS Report, 7/10). Haouissa earlier this month read out the charges that the health workers knowingly infected 393 children at the Benghazi hospital with HIV, and the defendants all pleaded not guilty to the charges

Study: Autistic brains have fewer neurons

U. S. scientists say they've determined the autistic brain has fewer neurons in an area related to emotion and social behavior.

The study at the University of California provides quantitative evidence linking autism to an abnormality of the part of the brain called the amygdala, especially its lateral nucleus -- a major emotion-processing area with connections to parts of the brain responsible for higher cognitive functions.

More Than Seven Hours of Sleep Per Night Increases Your Risk of Brain Disease

A study from the National Institutes of Health found that those who sleep nine hours or more each night are almost twice as likely to develop Parkinson's disease as those who sleep six hours or less.

The health of 80,000 nurses, none of whom had Parkinson's disease at the beginning of the study, were tracked for 24 years. Analysis of the 181 women who developed Parkinson's during the course of the study showed that the longer they slept, the greater risk they had of developing the illness.

Nurses who slept at least nine hours a night were 80 percent more likely to receive a Parkinson's diagnosis, while eight hours elevated the risk by 60 percent and seven hours increased it by only 10 percent.

What was the point of the Govt. holding the "GM Nation" public GM consultation in 2003, if it is now going to ignore the result? In that survey only 2% of people said they would be happy to eat GM food.

The Shame of Being an American By Paul Craig Roberts

Gentle reader, do you know that Israel is engaged in ethnic cleansing in southern Lebanon? Israel has ordered all the villagers to clear out. Israel then destroys their homes and murders the fleeing villagers. That way there is no one to come back and nothing to which to return, making it easier for Israel to grab the territory, just as Israel has been stealing Palestine from the Palestinians.

Do you know that one-third of the Lebanese civilians murdered by Israel’s attacks on civilian residential districts are children? That is the report from Jan Egeland, the emergency relief coordinator for the UN. He says it is impossible for help to reach the wounded and those buried in rubble, because Israeli air strikes have blown up all the bridges and roads. Considering how often (almost always) Israel misses Hizbollah targets and hits civilian ones, one might think that Israeli fire is being guided by US satellites and US military GPS. Don’t be surprised at US complicity. Why would the puppet be any less evil than the puppet master?

Of course, you don’t know these things, because the US print and TV media do not report them.

U. S. Speeds Up Bomb Delivery for the Israelis

The Bush administration is rushing a delivery of precision-guided bombs to Israel, which requested the expedited shipment last week after beginning its air campaign against Hezbollah targets in Lebanon, American officials said Friday. The decision to quickly ship the weapons to Israel was made with relatively little debate within the Bush administration, the officials said. Its disclosure threatens to anger Arab governments and others because of the appearance that the United States is actively aiding the Israeli bombing campaign in a way that could be compared to Iran’s efforts to arm and resupply Hezbollah.

D. Mail 22.7.06 "THE PESTICIDE NUN"

Georgina Downs had suffered for years from illnesses similar to Parkinson's or MS. At age 19 her weight was down to 6 stone. She used to wave to a tractor spraying a mist around on crops outside her home. Suddenly she realised it must be spraying out all kinds of toxic chemicals. Her doctor had put her illnesses down to "a virus." Her father found which chemicals the farmer was using & they looked up the side-effects & she finally identified the cause of her ill-health. Medical tests later confirmed that her body fat contained the most powerful cocktail of pesticides they had ever come across. They included highly dangerous Lindane organochlorine - linked to breast cancer & a chlorobenzine. Other chemicals had clustered around nerve cells. The Health & Safety Executive said the farmer could spray as near to her house as he liked & wasn't even required to tell her when or what he was about to spray. She videoed the spraying & questioned officials. She then spotted the mathematical flaw in the experts' calculation of the spray risk to bystanders. She says "It was based on an imaginary person who is very occasionally exposed for just a few minutes, to 1 chemical. But the reality is very different. People who live or work near farms are often exposed repeatedly, over a long period of time, to a mixture of chemicals. It seems none of these scientists in their ivory towers had ever thought of that." Thanks to Georgina the "bystander assessment risk" has been completely revised.

Gilad Atzmon - Learn Math with Israel: 2 = 500,000

This is obviously the outcome of the newly emerged Hebraic arithmetic laws. For 2 kidnapped Israeli soldiers who are still kept alive, 500,000 innocent Lebanese civilians are displaced. For 2 abducted Israeli soldiers, Lebanon, a sovereign state, is brought back down on its knees. Its civil infrastructure is ‘gone’. Some of its capital’s residential quarters and southern villages are already wiped out. Indeed, ‘two equals half a million’ is the new arithmetic the Israelis insist upon imposing on the region. Is it that surprising? Not at all, as predicted by Gershon Sholem already in the 1930’s: once the Jews start to speak Hebrew, it won’t take long before they consider themselves to be God.

THE TWO ISRAELI SOLDIERS WERE CAPTURED IN LEBANON

The Lebanese Shiite Hezbollah movement announced on Wednesday that its guerrillas have captured two Israeli soldiers in southern Lebanon. "Implementing our promise to free Arab prisoners in Israeli jails, our strugglers have captured two Israeli soldiers in southern Lebanon," a statement by Hezbollah said.

"The two soldiers have already been moved to a safe place," it added. The Lebanese police said that the two soldiers were captured as they "infiltrated" into the town of Aitaa al-Chaab inside the Lebanese border. [Hindustan Times 7/12/06]

The Lebanese Hezbollah movement announced Wednesday the arrest of two Israeli soldiers in southern Lebanon.

Autism rate in children has doubled, say doctors

THE number of children suffering from autism and related disorders may be twice as high as thought, with the condition likely to affect one per cent of British children. A study by scientists at Guy’s and St Thomas’ hospitals indicates that the prevalence of autism is much higher than current rates suggest. They said that improved diagnosis, a broader definition of the condition or an increase in the number of children affected could be responsible for the rise.

Third of GPs on new contracts drop child jabs

A third of family doctor practices working to a new Government contract have stopped providing vaccinations to children.

The contract allows doctors to opt out of giving immunisations, leading to fears that parents may find it harder to get their children vaccinated against life-threatening diseases such as meningitis and measles.

Department of Health statistics, provided in a Parliamentary answer, show that last year 36.7 per cent of practices working to the General Medical Contract refused to give jabs for MMR, whooping cough, diptheria, meningitis and tetanus.

Fight For Your Health And Your Life

“Any attack on freedom is the business of every American. We are the land of the free and the home of the brave. It is time to stand up and fight for our health.” --Byron J. Richards, author of Fight for Your Health – Exposing The FDA’s Betrayal of America

Most people think that The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) was created to protect the public from harm and to make sure that manufacturers followed the law in developing, testing and marketing their products. With the almost daily revelations about the corruption in medical research and drug development that have been splattered across the pages of the public press over the last year, a topic Dr. Carolyn Dean and I first wrote about in our column, The Constant Gardener – Does Art Imitate Life?, it is now dawning on people that they can’t believe everything they hear from the FDA about the safety of the products it approves for sale in the marketplace.

South Africa's leading AIDS activism group is back in court using its weapon of choice, the law, in its fight for the adequate provision of treatment to South Africa's five million people who are HIV positive.

The group is suing a manufacturer of vitamins, who has fallen foul of regulators in the United Kingdom and the United States, to stop him claiming that his vitamins are more effective than antiretroviral drugs for people with AIDS. They also want him to stop claiming that antiretroviral drugs are too toxic for people with AIDS to take.

The group, Treatment Action Campaign, is claiming damages against the vitamin manufacturer for his assertion that the group is a front for the drug industry. The case is expected to last several months.

The vitamin manufacturer, Matthias Rath, has run large advertising campaigns in South African newspapers as well as in the US telling people with AIDS that his vitamins would be better for them than products made by drug companies.

Hope for MMR doctor

Autism whistleblower might avoid all charges despite 20-month 'witch-hunt'

The doctor at the centre of the MMR vaccine controversy might not face misconduct charges after all, despite a long-running investigation by the medical watchdog.

Dr Andrew Wakefield, the first doctor to suggest a link between autism and the measles, mumps and rubella jab, has been the subject of a 20-month inquiry into alleged serious professional misconduct.

But the General Medical Council admitted last night that it might not proceed with the charges - and there is 'no guarantee' there will ever be a hearing.

The admission was welcomed by Dr Wakefield's supporters. Jackie Fletcher, of the pressure group Jabs, said: "It is appalling that they can have the power to hold this over someone's head for close on two years. It has been an absolute witch-hunt.

"All he was guilty of was listening to what parents said, clinically investigating the children and then reporting his findings. All he did was hold up a red flag and say, 'There's something going on that needs to be investigated further'."

WHOOPING COUGH: The vaccination that doesn’t protect

The recent scare about the rising numbers of whooping cough cases in the UK seems to have overlooked one very important detail. In virtually every case, the child had been vaccinated.

Research by Oxford University suggests that whooping cough is 'widespread' among children in the UK - and, despite the rising number of cases being reported, many others go undiagnosed because doctors assume the vaccine is doing its job.

As it is, 237 cases were reported in 2004, and 289 cases in 2005. Most of the children had been vaccinated against the disease.

But the real picture is very likely much worse. The Oxford researchers interviewed doctors, who viewed whooping cough as affecting only the very young who had not been vaccinated. On that basis, most cases of whooping cough are going unreported.

The Oxford researchers discovered that, of 172 cases of children who went to their doctor with a bad cough, 64 of them had recently been vaccinated against pertussis infection, and 55 had been fully immunised.

Despite this, lead researcher Dr Anthony Harnden is adamant that the vaccine works. "The immunisation is very effective - we know that because very few infants die of whooping cough."

True, but surely the vaccine is also supposed to protect against infection. Once established, the course of the disease is then determined by many other factors, too, such as nutritional status.

The Health Protection Agency, which pronounces on all such things of moment, says the vaccine has only a short life, and its protection soon wears off.

Sounds like a new vaccine programme for older children is waiting in the wings.

MORNING SICKNESS: It's all to do with a bad diet

Morning sickness seems to come with the territory for some women in the first few months of pregnancy. And scientists now reckon they know the reason.

It could all be down to the woman's diet - it's the body's way of protecting the fetus from a 'bad' diet. A woman who eats healthily is more likely to sail through the first few months of pregnancy without any of the unpleasant symptoms of morning sickness, unlike the woman whose diet is predominantly made up of processed and fast foods.

A research study has discovered that women are far more likely to suffer if they eat large quantities of sugars, sweeteners, and fried foods.

Researchers analysed 56 studies on morning sickness, collated from 21 countries, and found a link with diets that were high in sugars, sweeteners and oil crops used in frying foods. Other suspect foods include large amounts of meat, and stimulants such as coffee and alcohol. Conversely, cereals and pulses reduced the risk of morning sickness.

SURGERY: Unnecessary operations for the insured

The old saying has it that if you have a hammer, you can only see nails. Similarly, if you visit a surgeon, he'll suggest an operation.

An extreme example of this old adage has been uncovered at a hospital in California, which has been carrying out numerous cardiac operations that were completely unnecessary.

Forty agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation raided the hospital in 2002 following reports of up to 769 unnecessary procedures.

The hospital is owned by Tenet Healthcare, the second largest health provider in the USA, which has agreed to pay $500m compensation to settle claims from patients and their families.

Perhaps we need to adapt the adage. If you have health insurance, you're getting an operation.

America's deadly messenger

It's not just Israel's security that the decision-makers in the Bush administration have in mind in their decisions to back its actions, but also America's.

WASHINGTON - Across from UN headquarters in New York, Senator Hillary Clinton (Democrat, New York) stood at a small podium adorned with the symbol of the Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations to give a speech in praise of Israel. Behind her and at her sides - a group of men in gray: Israel's Ambassador to the UN, Danny Gillerman, the chairman of the Conference of Presidents, Malcolm Hoenlein, the Israeli Consul General in New York, Arye Mekel. Mummified in their neckties in the sweltering heat of the east coast, serious of mien, nodding. "We will stand with Israel, because Israel is standing for American values as well as Israeli ones," Clinton said. Here you have it - the whole foreign relations Torah on one slightly perspiring foot.

The Human Shields of Nazareth

Nazareth hit the international headlines for the first time in this vicious war being waged by Israel mostly on Lebanese civilians. Reporter Matthew Price, corseted in a blue flak jacket in Haifa, told BBC viewers that for the first time Hezbollah had targeted Nazareth late on Sunday. "Nazareth is a mostly Christian town," he added, managing to cram into a single sentence of a few words two factual mistakes and a disturbing hint of incitement.

Whatever the precision of its rockets (and Nazareth's residents are certainly worried enough about that), Hezbollah struck not at Nazareth but at a site some distance from Nazareth – a site of strategic significance to Israel, though I cannot say more than that as we are now officially under martial law in the country's north.

Matthew Price was also wrong about Nazareth being a "mostly Christian town." During the 1948 war in which Israel's army ethnically cleansed much of the surrounding area of Palestinians, Muslim villagers fled to Nazareth in search of sanctuary. Today, two-thirds of the city's 75,000 inhabitants are Muslim – or at least they are by the religious classification system imposed on all citizens by the Israeli authorities.

Which brings us to the nasty element of incitement from our BBC reporter.

Several Israeli armaments factories and storage depots have been built close by Arab communities in the north of Israel, possibly in the hope that by locating them there Arab regimes will be deterred from attacking Israel's enormous armory. In other words, the inhabitants of several of Israel's Arab towns and villages have been turned into collective human shields – protection for Israel's war machine.

DID THE PALESTINIANS REALLY DIG A TUNNEL UNDER THE NOSES OF THE ISRAELIS?

I don’t know what has happened to Cpl. Gilad Shalit. I don’t know if he was captured, or, if he was, I don’t know how he was captured. Frankly, I don’t even know that he actually exists apart from the pictures of him that we have all seen. One hopes that these are all questions that will eventually be answered.

I do know, however, that there is something extraordinarily odd about the story the Israeli Defence Force claim is behind his disappearance. In particular it’s the part about the tunnel which I can’t get to grips with.

Maine AG Files Suit Against Gentle Wind

In the last few days, we have learned that the Gentle Wind Project - a 'healing organisation' based in Maine, USA, which was heavily criticised in past issues of the Truth Campaign - have been served with a lawsuit by the Maine Attorney General. It would appear that the Maine AG shares most of the same concerns that we expressed, and has called for the Gentle Wind Project to be disbanded, with financial penalties, return of what GWP describe as 'donations' for their 'healing devices', and backdated taxes to be paid on such 'donations', which the AG sees as actual purchases of products.

After publishing articles, heavily critical of the GWP, their 'healing devices', and their financing arrangements, in both the Truth Campaign and on GWP's internet forum, Steve Gamble (also Equilibra) and I (also The Truth Campaign) were served with a lawsuit in 2004 alleging a conspiracy and racketeering in concert with ex-GWP members and several cult awareness experts to deliberately benefit from a campaign to deliberately damage GWP. This lawsuit cost Steve and I several thousand pounds and nearly destroyed the Truth Campaign. I am still paying back the money borrowed to fund our legal fees, which came at a time when we were for the first time starting to make financial progress as an organisation and managing to pay off the debts and loans that have been necessary over the years to keep us going.

The legal fees were simply too overwhelming, and we ultimately had to enter a mutual agreement in order to be dismissed from the lawsuit. The agreement was actually something of a minor miracle, and left both Steve and I with only minor modifications to make in our material, and with mutual restrictions on what the GWP could publish about us. For a summary of our agreement see www.equilibrauk.com/lawsuit.htm

In February of this year, the entire case involving the remaining defendants was thrown out of court - see http://cyberlaw.stanford.edu/packets/vol_3_no_6/003812.shtml

The GWP then launched a new lawsuit in civil court against the remaining defendants, which is yet to go to trial.

However, in light of this recent move by the Maine AG, one wonders if that will now take place.

Maine AG Files Suit Against Gentle Wind

AUGUSTA, Maine -- The Maine Attorney General's Office has filed a lawsuit against a controversial Kittery-based nonprofit group. The Gentle Wind Project designs and sells what it calls "healing instruments" that it said solve a variety of physical and emotional ailments. Others said the group is a scam.

The attorney general's office accused the group of falsely claiming that their products had healing qualities and of considering the income from their sale as charitable donations rather than sales proceeds.

Prosecutors want the Gentle Wind Project to liquidate its assets, pay the state's legal fees and refund anyone who bought items between 2000 and the present.

The Scotsman Wed 19 Jul 2006 - 340 dead ... so why were two tsunami alerts ignored

INDONESIA received alerts from two regional agencies that Monday's undersea earthquake could trigger a tsunami, but officials made no attempt to alert threatened communities, a government minister admitted yesterday.

Kusmayanto Kadiman, the science and technology minister, said bulletins came from the US Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre and Japan's meteorological agency, but "we did not announce them".

The warnings were sent about 45 minutes before the tsunami struck.

Even if the government had attempted to phone, radio or e-mail local authorities, it is unclear how the word would have been spread to residents or tourists on the beach, with no alarm systems in place.

Timeline: how Middle East crisis has unfolded

Here are the key events of the last 19 days that have pushed the Middle East to the brink of a regional crisis:

D. Telegraph 19.7.06 "YOUNG DOCTORS POOR TRAINING IS KILLING PATIENTS"

100s of patients are dying needlessly because young doctors are not being properly trained to prescribe medicines. Some of Britain's leading doctors yesterday issued a stark warning that many young doctors' knowledge on prescribing drugs is alarmingly low. Closure of university pharmacology depts & downgrading of the subject in medical training is the reason. Official estimates suggest serious reactions to medicines account for 1 in every 15 hospital admissions & errors in prescribing are likely to cause 100s of deaths a year. Prof. Mike Rawlins, chair of NICE confirmed this to be true. Prof. Jeffrey Aronson of Oxford Uni said that errors may include prescribing the wrong drug, or the wrong dose, or not taking into account how the drug might react with other drugs the patient is already using. The cost to the NHS of drug prescribing errors to is estimated to be £466million.

If Israel has the right to use force in self defence, so do its neighbours

The west appears to insist that only one side in the conflict is able to intervene militarily across borders. That will never be accepted

Much has been made in recent days - at the G8 summit and elsewhere - of Israel's right to retaliate against the capture of its soldiers, or attacks on its troops on its own sovereign territory. Some, such as those in the US administration, seem to believe that Israel has an unqualified licence to hit back at its enemies no matter what the cost. And even those willing to recognise that there may be a problem tend to couch it in terms of Israel's "disproportionate use of force" rather than its basic right to take military action.

But what is at stake here is not proportionality or the issue of self-defence, but symmetry and equivalence. Israel is staking a claim to the exclusive use of force as an instrument of policy and punishment, and is seeking to deny any opposing state or non-state actor a similar right. It is also largely succeeding in portraying its own "right to self-defence" as beyond question, while denying anyone else the same. And the international community is effectively endorsing Israel's stance on both counts.

www.guardian.co.uk/israel/Story/0,,1822923,00.html

Israel’s Terrorism

The Middle East is boiling over yet again. Israel is resorting to the one strategy it has perfected since the day it was created, murdering civilians and destroying civilian infrastructure.

The Israeli defense doctrine, old as Israel itself, considers bombing of civilian targets a means for pressuring “militants” and uncooperative governments. So Israel bombs bridges and villages in South Lebanon, power plants in Gaza, orchards, fields, schools, hospitals, residential neighborhoods, beach barbecue parties, etc. Everything is a legitimate target. Israeli ministers announce publicly that their chief strategy is to cause civilian suffering. Every day sees its Guernica, and the U. N., which proudly displays a reproduction of the painting, is mum in the face of a hundred Guernicas.

To be clear, Israel’s actions fit the very definition of terrorism. Doubly so now, since the bombing campaign is a response to attacks on Israeli soldiers, not civilians. The ever more morally bankrupt “international community” sees nothing, hears nothing, and says nothing. Don’t take my word for it. An aide of the Israeli PM said recently: “We are acting there [in Gaza] in an unprecedented manner; we’re firing hundreds of artillery shells, attacking from the air, sea and land and the world remains silent.”

Israel's monstrous legacy brings tumult a step closer

Ever since the Israelis ended their occupation of southern Lebanon in 2000, this weak and diminutive country has enjoyed an almost unmarred respite from the turbulence of the region to which it so easily and habitually falls victim. But overnight it has been plunged back into the role it endured for a quarter century and more - that of hapless arena for other people's wars, as well as pawn in the ambitions and machinations of regional players far more powerful than itself.

Hundreds of Palestinian 'suspects' have been kidnapped from their homes and will never stand trial

It's the wee hours of the morning, still dark outside. A guerrilla force comes out of nowhere to kidnap a soldier. After hours of careful movement, the force reaches its target, and the ambush is on! In seconds, the soldier finds himself looking down the barrel of a rifle.

A smash in the face with the butt of the gun and the soldier falls to the ground, bleeding. The kidnappers pick him up, quickly tie his hands and blindfold him, and disappear into the night.

This might be the end of the kidnapping, but the nightmare has just begun. The soldier's mother collapses, his father prays. His commanding officers promise to do everything they can to get him back, his comrades swear revenge. An entire nation is up-in-arms, writing in pain and worry.

Nobody knows how the soldier is: Is he hurt? Do his captors give him even a minimum of human decency, or are they torturing him to death by trampling his honor? The worst sort of suffering is not knowing. Will he come home? And if so, when? And in what condition? Can anyone remain apathetic in the light of such drama?

He found they were exposed to painful nerve & mustard gas which were "uncontrollably dangerous" & "went too far" & he doubted they consented to the experiments. Some suffered serious burns & their eyes were also experimented on.

After Hesitation, Germany Agrees to Arms Sale to Israel

The government of Germany has approved the sale to Israel of German-designed Dingo II APVs and two Dolphin-class submarines.

Die Welt newspaper reported this month that the German government initially hesitated in providing the All-Protected Vehicles (APVs), concerned that they were to be used in confrontation with the Palestinian Authority. At the time, former chancellor Gerhard Schroeder argued that the vehicles could be used in territories "occupied by Israel." However, Die Welt's sources in the German security council said that Berlin no longer objects to the sale "for test purposes."

Israel's State-Sponsored Terrorism

The Israeli government of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has exploited the capture of Army Corporal Gilad Shalit to restore the country's diminished deterrence against militant Palestinian factions, to break the elected Hamas government and to impose its unilateral territorial solution on the West Bank. But when the dust finally settles, Israel's offensive against the besieged territories--and now Lebanon--will have left the region with more destruction and death and the Israeli government with the same strategic deadlock. That's why instead of lashing out against their neighbors, Israelis must end the vicious cycle of provocations and retaliations, and pursue meaningful negotiations to end the occupation.

 A large study by Prof. Gillian Baird has revealed a record rate of autism disorders which now affect over 1 in 100 children. This is the tip of the iceberg because this does not include the rising hyperactivity & behavioural problems, such as ADHD. Dr. Paul Shattock of Autism Research Unit at Sunderland Uni said possible causes are pesticides, antibiotics, vaccines, diet etc. Until the 1990s the accepted figures were 4 or 5 cases of autism per 10,000 people, rising to 20 if autistic spectrum disorders were included such as Asperger's syndrome. Prof. Baird said the autism rates are much higher than previously thought & that environmental factors could not be ruled out. Published in "The Lancet."

"We have made some mistakes," he said, referring to recent attacks on Russia's democracy. "So what? Please don't put even more obstacles in our way. Do you really think you are smarter than we are?"

The former general secretary of the Soviet Union Communist Party accused Americans of arrogance and trying to impose their way of life on other nations.

Top psychiatrist David Healy wants to know why it is that a drug company has written to him, admitting that its antidepressant paroxetine may increase the risk of suicide six-fold, while the official data from the regulators paints a far rosier picture.

"Many people expect drug companies to be slow to concede that a drug causes hazards, but we do not expect our regulators to be even slower," he says.

The reluctance of the drug regulators to issue warnings about drugs happens on both sides of the Atlantic. Prof Healy, from the North Wales Department of Psychological Medicine, points out that "every antidepressant licensed since 1987" is associated with a higher risk of suicide compared to placebo, and yet America's drug regulator, the Food and Drug Administration, continues to obscure this vital fact.

The FDA is aware that drug manufacturers have tried to muddy the waters by wrongly blaming some suicides and suicide attempts on the placebo rather than the drug itself, and yet has done nothing about it.

His observations add weight to a move to stop drug companies directly funding research into their own drugs.

DIABETES: Psychology can control glycaemic levels

Mind over Matter corner. Psychological techniques, such as cognitive behaviour therapy, can lower the glycaemic levels in children, a new study has discovered.

Researchers have found that the levels fell by a small, but significant, amount in children with type I diabetes. In a review of 29 trials, which involved 543 children, researchers discovered that children saw their glycaemic levels fall by an average of 0.5 per cent when they had some form of psychological therapy, such as counselling, cognitive behaviour therapy, and psychodynamic therapy.

Interestingly, the therapies had absolutely no effect on adults who were also tested.

MEDICAL ERRORS: It seems bad, but actually it’s worse

Around 22 per cent of medical mistakes that lead to a serious reaction or even death go unreported in the UK. As it is, there are 974,000 medical mishaps every year that get recorded, a report to Britain’s parliament has revealed.

According to figures released by the government this week, there are:

* 974,000 recorded ‘accidents’ every year by doctors and hospitals in the UK*

* 300,000 hospital-acquired infections every year in UK hospitals

* 250,000 serious adverse reactions to a pharmaceutical drug reported every year in the UK**

* This is a conservative estimate, and government officials accept the figure is more likely to be 1,190,000

** This is a very conservative estimate, and is based only on reported reactions. A truer figure is believed to be closer to 1,200,000 every year, according to officials.

This means that up to 2,690,000 people could be harmed by medical mishaps every year,, which represents around 4.5 per cent of the entire population. In the USA, where medicine is even more aggressive, the problem could be affecting up to 13,450,000 people every year.

It's a recognized fact that there is a massive under-reporting of mistakes – usually because of fears of litigation – but government officials were shocked to hear that nobody knows how many of the reported blunders end in the death of the patient. Only 1 in 4 hospitals 'owns up' to the patient when something goes wrong; the rest blame it on the disease itself, while just 1 in 25 drug reactions is ever reported.

As it is, 1 in 10 people admitted to a hospital in Britain every year will suffer a mishap or accident that will harm him, said Edward Leigh, chairman of the Commons Public Accounts committee, which was presented with the shocking figures this week. And this is based on the known, reported accidents.

"These figures would be terrifying enough without our learning that there is undoubtedly substantial under-reporting of serious incidents and deaths. To top it all, the NHS simply has no idea how many people die each year from patient safety incidents," said Mr Leigh.

Worse, Mr Leigh and his committee members have discovered that the situation is not getting any better. Doctors and hospital staff are not learning from the mistakes, but are merely repeating them every year. Guidelines are being consistently ignored, and safety recommendations are not being implemented.

ECZEMA: Solids for baby are to blame

Doctors encourage mothers to supplement breastfeeding with solids far too early. And, as a result, the children are far more prone to allergic problems, and especially eczema, new research has found.

In a review of 13 studies, researchers discovered that babies who were introduced to solids before they were four months old were far more likely to develop allergic problems such as eczema, which, in some cases, lasted for 10 years.

Another study discovered a link between early introduction of solids and pollen allergy such as hay fever.

The researchers also found some evidence that may link solids with asthma, food allergies, allergic rhinitis, and animal dander allergy, although it was not convincing, they said.

Good diet helps in cancer treatment

... but very few sufferers are given any advice on how to improve what they eat. Barbara Lantin (The Telegraph) reports on new research that emphasises the key role of food

The role of a healthy diet in cancer prevention is now widely accepted - the World Cancer Research Fund's "bible" on the topic runs to 650 large pages stuffed with thousands of research citations.

But until recently, little attention has been paid to the benefits of sensible eating for people who have actually received a cancer diagnosis.

Enough Rash statements on Measles!

The Informed Parent are calling for an end to the constant flow of scaremongering statements from so-called 'health' professionals. The latest threat of a measles epidemic appears to be yet another attempt to increase the MMR uptake. Measles has been on a major decline since the mid 1850s and this has absolutely nothing to do with any measles or MMR vaccination. The most dramatic decline in cases and deaths occurred BEFORE vaccination.

China launches international project on herbal medicine

China, the world's main producer of traditional and herbal medicines, has launched an international project to modernise the sector.

Yesterday (4 July) the Ministry of Science and Technology pledged an initial 100 million yuan (US$12.5 million) for projects that focus on developing new treatments for diseases such as cancer and HIV/AIDS.

It is the first time that China has initiated a multinational research project of this kind, which it hopes will provide an opportunity to boost health research in developing nations.

Jin Xiaoming, a senior ministry official says it is likely that China will launch research on artemisinin — a herbal medicine regarded as the best treatment for malaria — with African countries such as Kenya and South Africa.

The scheme has already attracted countries including the United States, Japan and Singapore, says Shang Yong, vice minister of science and technology.

The first 50 programmes, which will be selected by the ministry and matched with international partners, are due to start by the end of the year.

China hopes the project will help increase its share of the global market for traditional medicines.

Until now, traditional medicine's entry into global markets has been hampered by a lack of consensus in how to measure its efficacy. Thus the project will also include efforts to develop international standards for traditional remedies.

"It is much cheaper to develop a new herbal medicine than a Western one," says Shang. "So our programmes will have a strong appeal for transnational companies."

FULL STORY

A Timely Reminder of Israeli anti-Semitism (Israel's 'enemies' in fact having a greater claim to 'Semitism' than the majority of Jews):

Israel's Chemical Weapons by James Brooks - July 08, 2004

"On June 10th, 2004, the two clinics in Al-Zawiya treated 130 patients for gas inhalation. The patients were children, women, old people and young men. Dr. Abu Madi related that there was a high number of cases of [tetany], spasm in legs and hands, connected to the nervous system. Pupils were dilated. … Other symptoms included shock, semi-consciousness, hyperventilation, irritation and sweating."

Thus reads a report by medical units serving the West Bank village of Al-Zawiya, where nonviolent resistance to Israel's impending wall has been extraordinarily resolute. According to the medical report (procured by the International Middle East Media Center [IMEMC]), "the gas used against the protestors is not tear gas but possibly a nerve gas."

The following day, Israel's "Peace Bloc," Gush Shalom, began a press release with the following quote from Al-Zawiya:

"What the army used here yesterday was not tear gas. We know what tear gas is, what it feels like. That was something totally different. … When we were still a long way off from where the bulldozers were working, they started shooting things like this one (holding up a dark green metal tube with the inscription "Hand and rifle grenade no. 400" - in English). Black smoke came out. Anyone who breathed it lost consciousness immediately, more than a hundred people. They remained unconscious for nearly 24 hours. One is still unconscious, at Rapidiya Hospital in Nablus. They had high fever and their muscles became rigid. Some needed urgent blood transfusion. Now, is this a way of dispersing a demonstration, or is it chemical warfare?"

The incident in Al-Zawiya appears to be the tenth attack by Israeli soldiers using an "unknown gas" against Palestinian civilians since early 2001. We have photographs of the canisters. We have film of victims suffering in the hospital. We have interviews with Palestinian and European doctors who have treated the victims. And we presumably have hundreds, perhaps thousands, of survivors. But we know nothing of their fate. Despite the evidence, we have not inquired.

Though it is a state secret, Israel's development of chemical and biological weapons has been known and analyzed for decades. From the typhoid poisoning of Palestinian wells and water supplies in 1948 to the conversion of F-16s into nerve gas "crop dusters" in 1998, Israel has always demonstrated a strong interest in developing CBW agents and methods for their dispersal.

In 1992 an El Al 747 flying nerve gas ingredients from the U. S. to Israel crashed into an Amsterdam apartment building. According to Salman Abu-Sitta, president of the Palestine Land Society, the respected Dutch daily NRC Handelsblad followed up the crash with an in-depth investigation of the Israel Institute for Biological Research (IIBR), Israel's CBW complex in Nes Ziona. The paper reportedly found "strong links" with several U. S. CBW and medical research centers, "close cooperation between IIBR and the British-American biological warfare program," and "extensive collaboration on BW research with Germany and Holland."

At IIBR, doctors publish world-class research in acetylcholine, the mother lode of nerve gas design. The Nes Ziona complex is reputed to have invented an "undetectable" poison-needle gun for "clean" assassinations. In September 1997, two days after Jordan's King Hussein told Israeli PM Netanyahu that Hamas was seeking negotiations, Mossad agents in Jordan attempted to kill Hamas leader Khaled Misha'al with a lethal dose of fentanyl.

For years, rumors persisted that Israel was using or testing unknown chemical agents on Palestinian civilians. The rumors began to reveal their substance February 12, 2001, when Israel began a six-week campaign of "novel gas" attacks in the Gaza Strip and West Bank. By chance, American filmmaker James Longley arrived in Khan Younis, Gaza in the middle of the first attack. That afternoon he began filming the victims. His award-winning film, Gaza Strip, documents the naked reality of Israel's chemical weaponry - the canisters, the doctors, the eyewitnesses, and the hideous suffering of the victims, many of whom remained hospitalized for days or weeks.

Israeli Textbooks and Children’s Literature Promote Racism and Hatred Toward Palestinians and Arabs

By Maureen Meehan Israeli school textbooks as well as children’s storybooks, according to recent academic studies and surveys, portray Palestinians and Arabs as “murderers,” “rioters,” “suspicious,” and generally backward and unproductive. Direct delegitimization and negative stereotyping of Palestinians and Arabs are the rule rather than the exception in Israeli schoolbooks.

Professor Daniel Bar-Tal of Tel Aviv University studied 124 elementary, middle- and high school textbooks on grammar and Hebrew literature, history, geography and citizenship. Bar-Tal concluded that Israeli textbooks present the view that Jews are involved in a justified, even humanitarian, war against an Arab enemy that refuses to accept and acknowledge the existence and rights of Jews in Israel.

"What more Israel has to do, which other violation Israel has to commit, how many other murders of civil victims have to be completed before the EU firmly orders to Israel to respect the international law and the human rights?"

They said stroke victims should be given a scan as soon as possible, be cared for on specialist stroke units & be given intensive rehabilitation.

Why Judges Shouldn't Have Control Over Everything Cannabis is a First-Line Treatment for Childhood Mental Disorders

In 1996, California legalized cannabis as a treatment for "any... condition for which marijuana brings relief." Although the law does not constrain physicians from approving the use of cannabis by children and adolescents, the state medical board has investigated physicians for doing so, exerting a profoundly inhibiting effect.

Even doctors associated with the Society of Cannabis Clinicians have been reluctant to approve cannabis use by patients under 16 years of age, and have done so only in cases in which prescribable pharmaceuticals had been tried unsuccessfully. The case of Alex P. suggests that the practice of employing pharmaceutical drugs as first-line treatment exposes children gratuitously to harmful side effects.

Western Mail - July 7, 06. "DRUG COMPANIES & REGULATORS '"TOO CLOSE"

Drugs regulators and manufacturers are "too close", meaning they ignore warning signs over potentially dangerous medications, a Welsh doctor claimed today.

David Healy, Professor of Psychiatry at Cardiff University, said bodies like the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) do not always act in the best interest of patients.

In a paper in the British Medical Journal, Prof Healy points to the increased suicide risk from taking some anti-depressants, such as Seroxat.

The US medicines regulator, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), ordered a review of its clinical evidence, leading GlaxoSmithKline and the MHRA to concede that there was an increased risk of adults feeling suicidal.

Previously, the MHRA had said there was no evidence to back up a claim of suicide risk in adults.

Today, Prof Healy said the MHRA is too much in the pocket of drug manufacturers.

An original campaigner on the issue, he said evidence on the side effects of anti-depressants first appeared in the mid to late 1980s.

Trials in children from the mid-1990s onwards showed a doubling of the risk of suicidal acts, leading to a warning on their use in youngsters.

But trials showing a similar risk for adults did not lead to a warning for adults until May this year, Prof Healy said.

Doctors had been saying for years that some patients experienced severe side effects on drugs such as Seroxat and Prozac, he said.   "The drug companies and regulators had "too close a relationship he said.

In her BMJ editor's column, Fiona Godlee said the MHRA needs "urgent review and reform".

Crisis in US Media Coverage of Gaza by Patrick O'Connor July 05, 2006

One element fuelling the current crisis in Gaza is the ongoing failure of US corporate media coverage of Israel/Palestine. US policy, public opinion and mainstream media coverage of Israel/Palestine are all dangerously biased towards Israel. Media coverage both reflects and influences policy and public opinion. Media coverage of events in Gaza again illustrates how the US mainstream media privileges the Israeli narrative, and frequently ignores both Palestinian experiences and international law, providing the US public and policymakers with only part of the story.

On Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert admitted that he intended to commit war crimes in Gaza, telling his cabinet that he wanted “no one to be able to sleep tonight in Gaza”. Olmert thus officially acknowledged Israel’s policy of collectively punishing 1.4 million Palestinians, a violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention. But none of the US’ three leading newspapers - The New York Times, Washington Post and LA Times - reported Olmert’s statement, even though it was widely quoted around the world.

Cindy Sheehan on Hunger Strike at the White House

"We’ve marched, held vigils, lobbied Congress, camped out at Bush’s ranch, we’ve even gone to jail, now it’s time to do more"

"This war is a crime," the icon mother told a crowd of clapping, cheering protesters.

"We represent millions of Americans who withdraw their support from this government."

Millions of American have just watched in disgust as our congress ignored the will of the American people and voted against setting a timetable for withdrawing our troops from Iraq. Who exactly are they representing and what course of action do 'we the people’ have at this point?

Cindy Sheehan has began a hunger strike at the White House and is pledging to stay as long as it takes until our government does right by our troops and the Iraqi people and returns US troops from Iraq immediately. If you browse around the net however, you wouldn’t even know that she and 150 patriots are camped out in direct confrontation of Bush and his policies. Cindy is providing the spark, but she needs our help to spread the word and raise the volume of our demands for justice.

Cindy needs our support to stop this war now. It is time to start asking questions of everyone who still supports these war crimes, starting with your 'representative’ and senators

Government accused of NHS 'privatisation by stealth'

The Government is at the centre of a row over the 'privatisation by stealth' of the NHS.

It came after the Department of Health invited private companies to bid to spend vast sums of the multi-billion pound NHS budget.

A six-page advert in the Official Journal of European Union asked private health insurers to apply to run key roles in Primary Care Trusts. PCTs control 80 per cent of the annual £80 billion NHS budget, funding GP surgeries, hospital operations and drugs.

Critics said the move was a 'giant leap' towards privatisation of healthcare - and effectively lets outside companies commission health services It will fuel doctors' fears that the Government is trying to break up the NHS without proper parliamentary debate and consultation with medical experts.

One NHS patient in 10 'is harmed in hospital'

Nearly a million patient safety incidents or "near misses" in a single year were recorded in NHS trusts, MPs say today in a report which questions the effectiveness of the National Patient Safety Agency.

The agency, which cost £35 million to run last year, has made insufficient progress and experienced cost over-runs and delays, the public accounts committee (PAC) said.

In 2004-05 there were 974,000 patient safety incidents in England and Wales and MPs believe that 22 per cent of mistakes go unreported.

STROKE: The people who are at greatest risk

Heart specialists like to put a brave face on it, but they really don't fully understand the role of cholesterol in heart disease. While they repeat the catechism that high cholesterol is bad for us, they don't point out that low cholesterol is just as bad. In fact, someone with low cholesterol is running a big risk of suffering a major stroke.

This rarely mentioned fact should make any cholesterol-lowering strategy a fine balancing act, and doctors have to consider that lowering a patient's cholesterol levels may be doing more harm than good.

To help understand the factors better, researchers analysed the records of 4,000 patients who had suffered a haemorrhagic stroke. As expected, most had low cholesterol levels – but they also had high blood pressure, brought on by heavy alcohol consumption.

So, on its own, a low cholesterol level is not a marker for a possible stroke. Patients who are heavy drinkers, and have raised blood pressure as a result, shouldn't have their cholesterol levels lowered.

UK 'lagging' on renewable energy

Renewable energy will meet only 10% of the UK's power needs by 2020 - half the government's target - according to a report from a government-funded group

The Carbon Trust said official policies and high costs for wind, solar and other forms of renewable energy were hampering the sector's growth.

A Department of Trade and Industry spokesman said targets were "deliberately ambitious".

Last year renewables reached 4% of energy for the first time, he added.

However, the Carbon Trust said it was still possible renewables could meet almost 20% of energy needs by 2020, with offshore wind power looking a particular good prospect.

DDT pesticide 'link' to slow child progress

Children exposed to the pesticide DDT while in the womb experience development problems, researchers say.

The pesticide was banned in the US and UK in the 1970s, but it is still used in some countries to kill malaria-carrying mosquitoes.

It was already known DDT was linked to premature births and low birthweight.

The University of California Berkeley researchers say their findings, published in Pediatrics, should be borne in mind when addressing malaria.

DDT, an organochlorine, persists in the environment long after use, accumulating in the food chain and in fatty tissues of animals and humans.

Over time, it degrades into DDE and DDD, which have similar chemical and physical properties.

Thirty-three years after its use was banned in the US, DDT is still detectable in about five to 10% of people, while DDE is detectable in nearly everyone.

Codex Chairman Seeks to Thwart Pro Health Initiative

"Codex' restrictive "Vitamin and Mineral Guideline" treats nutrients as toxins to be regulated on the basis of "risk analysis" without regard for benefit. Incredibly, a US dominated* WHO Workshop on the Application of Risk Assessment to Nutrients expanded the concept from Vitamins and Minerals to all nutrients and offered further guidance which defines an adverse event related to any nutrient as "any change in a bio marker". This means that any nutrient which produces any change, no matter how beneficial, will be a prohibited substance for international trade. At the same time, nations are being advised to adopt the alleged "science based" Codex Guidelines as their own domestic legislation in a process called "harmonization". Based on poor science, many of these Guidelines guarantee poor nutritional status and preventable ill health for billions of people, starting with the most nutritionally vulnerable."

The G8 summit: A chronicle of wasted time

With less than 10 days before the Group of Eight (G8) summit meeting at St Petersburg, the United States has quietly yanked the carpet out from under the prestigious forum.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) announced last week a list of countries that will initiate consultations to "produce a common vision for action, with balanced contributions and collective benefits, to address vulnerabilities that affect ... the international financial system". The list of countries is headed by the US, of course, and includes China, Saudi Arabia and Japan.

Washington has implied that the G8 [1] is not necessarily the lead forum for exercising "multilateral surveillance" when it comes to dealing with the issues and imbalances of the world economy. The list of invitees to the IMF high-level talks on global financial imbalances is a virtual "who's who" of countries that Washington considers relevant to addressing pressing issues of financial imbalances in the world economy. And the list excludes Russia, the host of the G8 summit on July 15.

Curiously, the development came on the eve of Russia making the ruble a fully convertible currency effective July 1, joining a select group of 20 countries (including the US, Canada, Japan, the eurozone and Scandinavian countries, Britain, Australia and New Zealand) that do not put restrictions on currency control and regulation.

Belgian court condemns two men for online revisionism

A Brussels criminal court sentenced two employees of the Belgian Islamic Centre to 10 months jail on Wednesday. They were convicted for inciting race hatred against Jews by spreading revisionist and xenophobic texts via the centre's website.

The plaintiffs’ lawyers said the sentence was “memorable”.

Abdel Rahman Ayachi, 26, and Raphaël Gendron, 30, run the centre's website. When leaving the courtroom, they said the “Jewish lobby” had “inspired” the complaint.

Dershowitz Contradicts Himself on the Power of the Israel Lobby

I was reading Alan Dershowitz's autobiography, Chutzpah, the other night when I came to some lines on page 16 that I found shocking:

My generaton of Jews was too young to fight against Nazism or for Israeli independence, too American to make aliyah (emigrate to Israel), too comfortable to put our bodies on the line for anything Jewish. Instead, we observed, contributed... We became part of what is perhaps the most effective lobbying and fund-raising effort in the history of democracy. [my emphasis] I say shocking because when Walt and Mearsheimer published their bombshell paper on the power of the Israel lobby in March, the Harvard Law Professor was their leading attacker. He said the scholars had "destroyed their professional reputations" (a disgraceful statement that Zbig Brzezinski would appear to include when he talks in Foreign Policy of "self-demeaning" attacks by critics of Walt and Mearsheimer) and three weeks after their paper was published, rushed a response onto Harvard's Kennedy School website, saying that speed was "essential" "because of the attention the original paper has received."

Night Light Increases Breast Cancer Risks

Disruptions to a person's natural body clock, such as being exposed to artificial light or staying up for long periods at night, increase the risk of breast cancer, according to a study by the American National Cancer Institute and the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences.

The researchers used mice that had been implanted with human breast cancer cells, and injected blood samples from women into the mice. The blood samples were taken at three different times: during the day, early morning, and at night after exposure to artificial light.

While the blood taken at night slowed tumor growth by 80 percent, blood taken after exposure to artificial light increased cancer growth.

The findings represent the first proof that light is a risk factor for cancer. It is thought to act by inhibiting levels of the hormone melatonin, which is secreted by the pineal gland mostly at night and is an important variable in regulating a person's sleeping and waking cycles.

North American Union to Replace USA?

President Bush is pursuing a globalist agenda to create a North American Union, effectively erasing our borders with both Mexico and Canada. This was the hidden agenda behind the Bush administration's true open borders policy.

Secretly, the Bush administration is pursuing a policy to expand NAFTA politically, setting the stage for a North American Union designed to encompass the U. S., Canada, and Mexico. What the Bush administration truly wants is the free, unimpeded movement of people across open borders with Mexico and Canada.

President Bush intends to abrogate U. S. sovereignty to the North American Union, a new economic and political entity which the President is quietly forming, much as the European Union has formed.

Another Teacher Persecuted for 9/11 Heresy

Now that firebrand and apparent gatekeeper of the official version of nine eleven, Ward Churchill, is in the process of losing his job at the university of Colorado, another academic, Kevin Barrett, has come under the gun.

“A state lawmaker is calling on the University of Wisconsin-Madison to fire a part-time instructor who has spoken out on his beliefs that figures in the U. S. government, not al-Qaida, were behind the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks,” reports WFRV, a CBS affiliate.

Barret made the mistake of calling a local radio show where he “disputed most of the widely accepted information about the attacks,” information a large percentage of the public now holds to be suspicious, although you wouldn’t know it if you watched WFRV or CBS. Barrett “acknowledged discussing Sept. 11 in teaching classes, but said it was only to give both sides of the issue, not to convert anyone to his point of view,” a major faux pas, or rather a political crime punished by denying thought criminals employment.

The war on children By John Pilger

 A final solution, agreed by the United States and Israel, to the problem of the Palestinians. While the Israelis fire missiles at Palestinian picnickers and homes in Gaza and the West Bank, the two governments are to starve them. The victims will be mostly children.

Israeli air strikes hit at least 30 targets in Gaza

Israel Friday intensified its offensive aimed at freeing a soldier held captive by Palestinian militants, launching air strikes on at least 30 targets in the Gaza Strip overnight, including the Hamas-controlled Interior Ministry in Gaza City.

Six other offices belonging to Hamas and the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, roads, arms warehouses and open fields used as militant training camps were also hit, security officials on both sides said.

Israel also stripped a Hamas minister and three lawmakers from Israeli-occupied East Jerusalem of their right to reside and vote in the city, a day after, in an unprecedented move, it arrested nearly the entire Hamas leadership in the West Bank.

Vets demand official rejection of homeopathy

Many vets are aghast that unproven homeopathic treatments are routinely prescribed to animals (New Scientist, 10 December 2005, p8). The Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons in London, however, seems unsure of its stance.

New Scientist has learned that the RCVS decided back in February to quietly remove a list of vets that offer homeopathic treatments from its official published register of licensed veterinary practitioners. Vets who believe it is against animals' best interests to undergo unproven treatments say pets should only be given orthodox medicines, and that the RCVS's list withdrawal is not enough. They add that details of homeopathic vets remain available on its website. Forty vets have written to the college demanding it reject homeopathy.

Chest X-ray exposure may increase likelihood of breast cancer

An analysis of 1,600 women with BRCA 1/2 mutations suggests that exposure to chest X-rays may increase the risk of breast cancer, and that exposure before the age of 20 may be linked to particularly heightened risk. The research, conducted by a consortium of European cancer centers, was the first to analyze the impact of low-level X-ray exposure among women at genetically high risk for the disease. The study will be published online June 26 in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.

Will Nature, Science Allow Aids Discussion? Categories Epidemics

Darin Brown, initiator of the Aids Wiki is asking a very interesting question: Why is it that scientific media refuse to allow discussion of the different scientific views that exist on the etiology and the best treatment modes of Aids? In the article, titled Who Are the Real AIDS Denialists? – Testing the 'Moore Assertion' Brown cites Prof. John P. Moore, self-appointed "Major General in the War on AIDS" and spokesperson for "The Scientific Community." Moore recently appeared on the Wiki only to refuse any public debate with the words:

"Participating in any public forum with the likes of Bialy would give him a credibility that he does not merit. The science community does not ‘debate’ with the AIDS denialists, it treats them with the utter contempt that they deserve and exposes them for the charlatans that they are. Kindly do not send me any further communications on this or any related matter."

www.newmediaexplorer.org/sepp/2006/06/23/will_nature_science_allow_aids_discussion.htm

Neither the scientific establishment, the media, nor our nation's health care agencies have permitted the disclosure of documents that challenge the validity and accuracy of the so-called “HIV Tests.”

Kickbacks, cartels and chatrooms: how unscrupulous drug firms woo the public

Companies violate own ethical codes, says study · Patient group promotions bypass ban on advertising

Drug companies use unscrupulous and unethical marketing tactics not only to influence doctors to prescribe their products but also subtly to persuade consumers that they need them, a report claims today. Consumers should be concerned because time and again the companies violate their own industry's ethical marketing codes. Patients' health may suffer if a drug like Vioxx - a painkiller later withdrawn - is over-promoted. Yet, says Consumers International, which has compiled the report, there is "a shocking lack of publicly available information about the $60bn [£33bn] spent annually by the industry on drug promotion".

The report examines the marketing practices of 20 of the world's biggest drug companies. It alleges that:

· Drug companies are promoting their products through patients groups, students and internet chatrooms to bypass the ban on advertising except to doctors.

· They offer information to the public on "modern" lifestyle diseases, such as stress and poor eating habits, to encourage people to ask their doctors for medicines.

· They make inaccurate claims about the safety and efficacy of their drugs.

· Doctors are offered incentives to prescribe and promote drugs including kickbacks, gifts, free samples and consulting agreements.

· Many companies have been implicated in anti-competitive strategies, including cartels and price hikes.

Drug companies are not permitted to advertise products to the public. But companies are increasingly looking to influence consumers directly through funding patient groups and launching "disease awareness campaigns", which do not name a product but are likely to encourage patients to seek treatment.

8 Ministers, 20 MPs abducted by Israel, PM is not immune

Israeli troops invaded several areas in the West Bank late Wednesday night into the early hours of Thursday morning, abducting 64 Palestinian officials, including 8 ministers, 20 lawmakers, and a mayor. Israel announced that arrests of Hamas-affiliated lawmakers will continue, stating that Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh is not immune from being targeted for arrest.

Israeli officials said the Palestinian Prime Minister Ismael Haniya is not immune and could be arrested.

Haniya is a Gaza resident and arresting him would require a major invasion to the Gaza Strip.

Major Israeli websites hacked

More than 750 Israeli websites hacked in recent hours. Among them: Soldier’s Treasury Bank, Rambam Hospital, and Globus Group ticket center. Hackers: You’re killing Palestinians, we’re killing servers

Unprecedented number of Israeli websites hacked: Hundreds of websites were damaged by hackers in recent hours, following IDF activity in the Gaza Strip. The hackers are members of the Moroccan “Team Evil” group, responsible for most of the website damage in Israel in the past year. This is the largest, most concentrated attack on Israeli websites in recent years.

Hamas arrests planned weeks ago; G8: Move raises 'concerns'

The detention of dozens of Hamas lawmakers in the early hours of Thursday morning had been planned several weeks ago and received approval from Attorney General Menachem Mazuz on Wednesday. The same day, Shin Bet Director Yuval Diskin presented Prime Minister Ehud Olmert with the list of Hamas officials slated for detention.

The Group of Eight industrialized countries said Thursday that the Hamas arrests raised "particular concerns."

Israel Defense Forces troops launched the major arrest operation overnight, detaining 64 of the ruling party's cabinet ministers and parliamentarians in the West Bank, as well as another 23 military activists.
