*Aurora Alert: The Sun Is Waking
Up*<http://www.spacedaily.com/reports/Aurora_Alert_The_Sun_Is_Waking_Up_999.html>
Sky viewers might get to enjoy some spectacular Northern Lights, or aurorae,
tomorrow. After a long slumber, the Sun is waking up. Early Sunday morning,
the Sun's surface erupted and blasted tons of plasma (ionized atoms) into
interplanetary space. That plasma is headed our way, and when it arrives, it
could create a spectacular light show. "This eruption is directed right at
us, and is expected to get here early in the day on August 4th," said
astronomer Leon Golub of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics
(CfA). "It's the first major Earth-directed eruption in quite some time." The
eruption, called a coronal mass ejection, was caught on camera by NASA's
Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) - a spacecraft that launched in February.
SDO provides better-than-HD quality views of the Sun at a variety of
wavelengths. "We got a beautiful view of this eruption," said Golub. "And
there might be more beautiful views to come, if it triggers aurorae."

War*<http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/assad-warns-of-growing-threat-of-middle-east-war-1.305314?localLinksEnabled=false>
Syria will not negotiate with Israel over letting it keep the Golan Heights,
President Bashar al-Assad said Sundat, days after Israel's prime minister
expressed interest in resuming talks with Damascus. In a statement on Syrian
army day published in official media on Sunday, Assad repeated his
assessment that the possibility of another Middle East war was rising in the
absence of what he called Israel's willingness to make peace. "If anyone
thinks that Syria might negotiate over its occupied land then they are
mistaken," Assad said. "The liberation of the Golan is a deeply ingrained
right. Peace requires restoring all the occupied soil until the line of June
4, 1967," he added. The Six-Day War broke out a day after this date and
Israel swiftly defeated the armies of Syria, Jordan and Egypt. Syria lost
the Golan Heights to Israel, which annexed the territory in the early 1980s
but did not build settlements on it as heavily as in the West Bank. A United
Nations Security Council resolution declared the annexation illegal. Assad
said that while Syria was sticking to its pursuit of peace with Israel the
army had to be prepared for war.

*Zapping Nanotech Vaccines Directly Into Your
Cells*<http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/lasers-deliver-vaccines-directly-cells/story?id=11290208>
Drugs and vaccines could one day make their way into your body at the speed
of light. Scientists from Georgia Tech can now blast a hole in a cell, place
a molecule inside and seal it back up a split second later using a laser
pulse. The new technique could deliver drugs, vaccines and other molecules
that otherwise wouldn't be able to get past a cell's defenses. "Cells are
surrounded by membranes, which keep what's inside, inside, and what's
outside, outside," said Mark Prausnitz, a scientist at Georgia Tech and
co-author of the new Nature Nanotechnology paper. "There is very little that
can pass through the membrane, but our goal is to put molecules into cells
that have a hard time getting (there)." Laser beams are only the latest way
to deliver an outlying molecule inside a cell. Specialized channels embedded
in the cell membrane actively pump some molecules into and out of the cell.
If a molecule looks the part, it can slip past the cell membrane. Viruses
use a special needle-like appendage to inject their genetic material into a
cell. Certain chemicals and electrical charges can also temporarily puncture
cell membranes.

"HUGE discrepancies": 1.8 million gallons of dispersant "now in question",
"Either BP was lying to Congress or to the Coast Guard"

Florida Oil Spill Law
Aug 2, 2010

Markey Analysis Shows Coast Guard Allowed BP, Spill Response Officials to
Excessively Use Dispersants, Chairman Ed Markey, July 31, 2010:

The analysis also found that the amounts of surface dispersants used that
were reported by BP to Congress and the amounts reported to have been used
that were contained in BP's requests for approval by the Coast Guard also
vary widely, bringing into question whether BP was being truthful about the
total amount used, and whether the Coast Guard was conducting rigorous
monitoring and oversight over the company's use of the chemical.

For example, in one approval request, one of BP's top executives, Doug
Suttles, claimed that the maximum daily application of dispersants on the
surface in the days preceding June 16, 2010 was 3,360 gallons on June 12.
However, an examination of the dispersant totals BP provided to
congressional staff in its daily "Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill Response Updates"
indicates that on June 11, BP said it applied 14,305 gallons of the chemical
on the surface; on June 13, 36,000 gallons; and on June 14, 10,706 gallons.

According to publicly disclosed amounts on DeepwaterHorizonResponse.com,
more than 1.8 million gallons of toxic dispersants were used to break up the
oil as it came out of the well, as well as after it reached the ocean
surface. The validity of those numbers are now in question.

"HUGE discrepancies": 1.8 million gallons of dispersant "now in question",
"Either BP was lying to Congress or to the Coast Guard" 150410banner7

"Either BP was lying to Congress or to the Coast Guard about how much
dispersants they were shooting onto the ocean," said Rep. Markey. "These
huge discrepancies also raise the question of whether the Coast Guard made
sufficient efforts to verify the information BP provided in support of its
requests, and whether it exercised appropriate oversight surrounding the use
of these toxic chemicals."

Establishment Media Pushes Brain Eating Vaccines

Scientific dictatorship wants lobotomized, subservient public

Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet.com
Tuesday, August 3, 2010

The establishment media and the scientific dictatorship are promoting
brain-eating vaccines that virtually lobotomize people and rewire their
minds into a state of subservient compliance so that their natural instinct
to get angry and rebel against the tyranny being imposed upon them is
neutered and sterilized.

"Academics say they are close to developing the first vaccine for stress – a
single jab that would help us relax without slowing down," reports the Daily
Mail.

Dr Robert Sapolsky, professor of neuroscience at Stanford University in
California, says the vaccine is intended to impose a state of "focused calm"
by altering brain chemistry.

The proposals ominously hark back to George Lucas' 1971 dystopian chiller
THX 1138, in which the population is controlled and subjugated through the
use of special drugs to suppress emotion.

Feeling stress, getting angry, expressing emotion and displaying passion are
all innate, natural and vital aspects of human behavior. Reacting with
stress to dangerous or uncomfortable situations is an essential and healthy
response, and is one shared by just about every living thing on the planet.

Scientists are now telling us that getting angry, upset and passionate is
abnormal and needs to be "treated" through a fresh dose of pharmaceutical
drugs and injections that will virtually lobotomize us into submissive
compliance. This is blatantly a part of the full spectrum assault on our
minds, our bodies and our nervous system through the contamination of our
food and water supply.

The new research on brain-altering vaccines dovetails with proposals to add
lithium to the water supply in order to treat "mood disorders".

Establishment Media Pushes Brain Eating Vaccines 150410banner1

People globally are already being bombarded with sodium fluoride, a cancer
causing neurotoxin, through the water supply, toothpaste, and many foods.

The first occurrence of fluoridated drinking water on Earth was found in
Germany's Nazi prison camps. The Gestapo had little concern about fluoride's
supposed effect on children's teeth; their alleged reason for
mass-medicating water with sodium fluoride was to sterilize humans and force
the people in their concentration camps into calm submission.

As a growing number of people worldwide begin to educate themselves about
what they are putting in their bodies and how they are under chemical and
biological attack from the foods they eat, the establishment in getting
increasingly desperate in trying to maintain a sick and weak populace, even
telling them that injecting the toxic poison mercury into their bloodstream
will be beneficial to their health.

The effort to chemically lobotomize the public is part of the elite's drive
to create a sub-species of drugged up, dumbed-down slaves who don't have the
intelligence or the energy to resist the control measures being imposed on
them by their population-reduction obsessed masters. While the elite will be
free to enjoy

Infowars is promoting a new viral Google search term in order to attract
much needed attention to this grave issue.

Search for "brain eating vaccines" and by elevating this term to the top of
Google Trends, we can reach millions of new people who would otherwise have
never come across this information.

Landmarks Commission greenlights Islamic supremacist mega-mosque at Ground
Zero

I just got word from my SIOA colleague Pamela Geller that the New York City
Landmarks Commission has, as expected, voted unanimously to deny landmark
status to 45 Park Place, thus clearing the way for the demolition of the
building currently there and the construction of the Islamic supremacist
mega-mosque at Ground Zero.

Until the mosque is actually built, however, the game isn't over -- and with
an increasing number of prominent politicians coming out against the
mega-mosque, it can still be won in the court of public opinion.

The primary argument in favor of construction of the mosque, of course, is
that it is a matter of religious freedom. We are endlessly told that if
Muslims are denied permission to build this mega-mosque at Ground Zero, the
door will be opened to the denial of the construction of synagogues and
churches elsewhere. That argument advances in ignorance of the political and
supremacist character of Islamic law, qualities that have no parallel in
Jewish or Christian doctrine, but even aside from that, the question of this
mosque is not actually a religious freedom issue.

Why not? Because opponents of the mosque, be they SIOA, or Palin, or
Giuliani, or Gingrich, or anyone else, are not talking about banning mosques
altogether. I do believe that mosques connected with the Saudis and/or the
Muslim Brotherhood warrant careful scrutiny from law enforcement, but no one
who is in the front line of the opposition to the mega-mosque at Ground Zero
is calling for all mosques to be closed or for a ban on the construction of
new mosques. And unless the property is marked as a war memorial, as it
should be but will not be, no one is even calling for the expulsion of the
Muslims who are currently praying in the existing former Burlington Coat
Factory building at 45 Park Place; the Burlington Coat Factory is not a
thirteen-story triumphal mega-mosque.

The question is, does the First Amendment really give every religious group
the right to construct a house of worship wherever it wishes to do so? Is
there never an occasion in which a location might be inappropriate? Many
people have likened the construction of the mega-mosque at Ground Zero to
the construction of a shrine to the kamikazes at Pearl Harbor or of a statue
of Hitler outside the Auschwitz gates. Would the KKK be greenlighted to
build a "reconciliation center" on the site of the 16th St. Baptist Church,
as this parody has it? (Others have rejected these comparisons based on the
claim that the Cordoba Initiative leaders are "moderate" Muslims who hold to
a radically different point of view from that of the Muslims who took down
the Twin Towers on 9/11, but the Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf's record of deceit
and advocacy of Sharia should be enough to establish that that argument is
fallacious. And of course they'll be reading from the same Qur'an that
inspired the 9/11 attacks; there is no "reformed" version.) The question is,
if the shrine to the kamikazes were sponsored by a religious group, or
Auschwitz were subject to First Amendment law, would there be no stopping
the building of such things?

I expect there would be a way to stop such construction, and that many
people who are saying today that this mosque is a religious freedom issue
would be calling for the construction to be stopped. The U.S. Government
outlawed Mormon polygamy in the nineteenth century; considerations of
religious freedom were not considered absolute. And today, government
agencies do not hesitate to put roadblocks in the way of the construction of
houses of worship -- at least non-Islamic ones.

In any case, it seems clear that no one assumes that any religious group has
an absolute right to build a house of worship wherever it wants, except in
this case. But once this mega-mosque is built, if it is, I expect that many
who today are anxious to prove their multiculturalist, non-"bigoted" bona
fides will rue the day.

Ridiculous media bias against Israel: Israeli soldiers did not enter
Lebanon, as was widely reported

Yet another example of why mainstream media journalists are just a notch
above child molester. Or maybe a notch below. "Today's Example of Ridiculous
Media Bias Against Israel," by Barry Rubin, August 3:

Along Israel's border with Lebanon, east of Metulla, some bushes were
pushing in on the border fence. The fence is set in slightly from the border
precisely so that Israeli soldiers can work on it. The IDF called UNIFIL and
informed the UN that this work was going to be done today so that they could
tell the Lebanese army that there was no aggression going on but just
routine maintenance. Soldiers from UNIFIL came to observe and can be seen
standing next to Israeli soldiers in the photos. Photographers were also
standing by to film the operation.

But Lebanese soldiers opened fire on the Israelis who were working and
in no way acting aggressively. The fact that journalists were standing next
to the Lebanese soldiers shows that they knew Israel was going to do this
maintenance and were observing. After the Israeli soldiers were ambushed,
they returned fire. One Israeli officer was killed, another seriously
wounded; three Lebanese soldiers, and a Lebanese (?) journalist were killed.

So how did Reuters and Yahoo report this? By saying that Israeli
soldiers had crossed into Lebanon and been fired on, thus implying the
Lebanese army was acting in self-defense! Other news agencies merely
reported: Israel says the soldiers were inside Israel; Lebanon says they
were on Lebanese territory.

Reuters: "An Israeli soldier is seen on a crane on the Lebanese side of
the Lebanese-Israeli border near Adaisseh village, southern Lebanon August
3, 2010. Israeli artillery shelled the Lebanese village on Tuesday, wounding
two people, after Lebanese Army troops fired warning shots at Israeli
soldiers."

Yahoo: "A Lebanese officer spoke on condition of anonymity under
military guidelines, said the clash occurred as Israeli troops tried to
remove a tree from the Lebanese side of the border." No Israeli is quoted.

What a surprise. There is much more. Read it all.

Drug-resistant strain of E. coli emerges in U.S.
Published on 08-03-2010

Source: MSNBC
WASHINGTON — A new, virulent and drug-resistant strain of E. coli bacteria
is infecting people in the United States and posing a significant public
health threat, doctors reported on Friday.

The new strain is called ST131 and caused many of the E. coli infections
resistant to antibiotics in the fluoroquinolone and cephalosporin classes,
the researchers said.

"If this strain gains one additional resistance gene, it will become almost
untreatable and will be a true superbug, which is a very concerning
scenario," Dr. James Johnson of the VA Medical Center in Minneapolis, who
led the study, said in a statement.

Writing in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases, Johnson and colleagues
said the ST131 strain has been reported in several countries and across the
United States.

They tested samples from 127 patients with E. coli infections that resisted
strong extended-spectrum cephalosporin and fluoroquinolone antibiotics in
2007. Of these, genetic tests showed 54 were from the new ST131 strain.

Those samples accounted for only 17 percent of the total, but they made up
44 percent of the drug-resistant isolates. More alarming, they made up more
than half of the samples resistant to two or more drugs and they accounted
for nearly 70 percent of the samples resistant to fluoroquinolones or
extended-spectrum cephalosporins.

Those drugs increasiningly are used as the go-to treatment for many
conditions, including urinary tract infections, and in hospitalized
patients.

Solar Tsunami to Strike Earth
Published on 08-03-2010

Source: Fox News

Earth is bracing for a cosmic tsunami Tuesday night as tons of plasma from a
massive solar flare head directly toward the planet.

The Sun's surface erupted early Sunday morning, shooting a wall of ionized
atoms directly at Earth, scientists say. It is expected to create a
geomagnetic storm and a spectacular light show -- and it could pose a threat
to satellites in orbit, as well.

"This eruption is directed right at us and is expected to get here early in
the day on Aug. 4," said Leon Golub of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for
Astrophysics. "It's the first major Earth-directed eruption in quite some
time."

Gulf Oil Spill Update: Fishing Resumes in Pensacola, Dispersant Concerns
Linger


Steven Hoffer
AOL News Surge Desk
(Aug. 2) -- Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Margaret Hamburg
announced Monday that state waters in the Pensacola region of Florida are
now reopened to commercial fishing of finfish and shrimp.

"I have heard first-hand from commercial fishermen and seafood processors
about not only the importance of getting back to their livelihoods, but also
their commitment to protecting the health of their customers and making sure
consumers have the most up-to-date and accurate information available,"
Hamburg said in an FDA statement.

Fishing Reopens, With an Asterisk

The Florida announcement is the latest reopening in the region following the
return of commercial fishermen to about 2,400 square miles of designated
waters east of the Mississippi River in Louisiana and Mississippi state
waters north of the barrier islands. As of Friday, state waters in Alabama
remained closed, according to The Associated Press.

Although fishermen are allowed to return to these select regions, many
restrictions are still in effect as to what wildlife is safe to be fished.
For instance, while the FDA deemed finfish and shrimp to be all right in the
Mississippi regions, all recreational and commercial crab and oyster fishing
remains prohibited pending further testing.

Dispersants Debate Rages On

And despite optimism portrayed by government officials in light of the
reopenings, many gulf fishermen remain concerned that the FDA is jumping the
gun on reopening the waters, sighting persisting unsatisfactory conditions,
the unknown long-term effects of chemical dispersants on fish and the
psychology of consumers unwilling to purchase fish from the region
regardless of government assurance.

Dispersants in particular have raised the suspicions of citizens and the
government alike lately. Just take a look at a report released today by the
House Subcommittee on Energy and Environment suggesting that too much of the
chemical compound was used to break up the spill (nearly 1.8 million gallons
dumped, according to the report). The committee chair, Rep. Ed Markey,
D-Mass., also issued an open letter to retired Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen,
lambasting him for allowing BP to spray so much of the stuff and requesting
more information on the potential effects.

"BP carpet bombed the ocean with these chemicals, and the Coast Guard
allowed them to do it," Markey said in a statement, "After we discovered how
toxic these chemicals really are, they had no business being spread across
the Gulf in this manner."

The U.S. Coast Guard, the Environmental Protection Agency and some
scientists have countered that the use of dispersants was necessary, safe
and in compliance with federal and state environmental guidelines. As such,
while the spill and the commercial fishing industry look to be on the mend,
the debate over dispersants is likely to continue for the foreseeable
future.

The Lebanese army emerges as Israel's new pro-active foe
DEBKAfile Exclusive Analysis August 4, 2010, 12:12 AM (GMT+02:00)

Tags: Israel-Lebanon
clash<http://www.debka.com/search/tag/Israel-Lebanon%20clash/>

Lt. Col. (Res.) Dov Harari, killed by Lebanese sniper

By launching a cross-border sniper attack on Israeli forces Tuesday, Aug. 3,
and provoking a major clash, the 9th Brigade of the Lebanese Army laid down
a new fact of life in the Middle East: The next war against Israel will be
fought - not by the Hizballah militia, but by the Lebanese army, whose
mission is henceforth merged into the radical objectives of the Iran-backed
terrorist group.
By taking on Israeli forces, the Lebanese Army assumed responsibility for
the volatile Lebanese-Israeli border and showed it was prepared to take the
consequences of aggression. Never seen as capable of anything more than
substandard police work and inclined to run a mile from combat situations,
this army was described by debkafile's military sources as having astonished
military observers by its performance against the IDF.
1. Its commanders proved capable of catching the Israeli military unawares,
in exactly the same way as Hizballah did when it kidnapped and murdered
three Israeli soldiers in 2000 and, again, when it snatched another two
Israeli officers in a cross-border raid in 2006.
In both cases, the terrorists stole across the border into Israel.
Tuesday, the Lebanese army showed itself to be not only an apt pupil of
Hizballah's tactics, but capable of going "one better." Its snipers shot Lt.
Col. (Res.) Dov Harari, 45, from Netanya, in cold blood as he stood well
inside the Israeli border, and seriously injured Capt. Ezer Lakiya from Kfar
Harif. Doctors are fighting to save his life by removing a piece of shrapnel
from his heart.
Both were watching Israeli troops carrying out routine tasks on the Israeli
side of the border fence.
2. The Lebanese army was able to hoodwink Israeli military intelligence
border scouts and keep its plan of attack dark. The fact that Hizballah was
also out of the picture would have been cold comfort for the Israeli high
command.
3. Its commanders were not deterred by Israeli retaliation and rather than
backing down raised the pitch of violence.
4. Israel commanders judged that, by exacting a painful price, they could
silence the enemy's guns. They therefore bombed the Lebanese Army's regional
command center at Taybeh, torched an APC and left three soldiers dead. The
enemy kept on shooting.
5. The day's combat ended with the Lebanese army's 9th Brigade established
as a new threat to the Israel Defense Forces from positions abutting the
border.
Its presence in South Lebanon is moreover legitimate, unlike Hizballah,
which moved men and weapons into the south although prohibited from doing so
by the UN Security Council Resolution 1701 of 2006.
6. The Lebanese army may decide to follow up on its attack, using one
flimsy pretext or another. After all, the UN peacekeepers stood by idly when
the snipers opened fire into Israel under the world body's flag.
8. The IDF's response was disproportionately mild given the loss of two
high commanders in an act of unprovoked aggression. But it was enough to
allow Hizballah's Hassan Nasrallah to pose as Lebanon's great national
unifier.
In the speech he delivered Tuesday night, he capitalized on the incident by
saying he had ordered his militiamen not to interfere in the clash with
Israeli forces, commended the Lebanese Army for its bravery in taking on the
Zionist foe and let it be understood that his rockets and missiles would be
made available for the next round of fighting with Israel.
