| Latin Messages from Planet is a Major Extraterrestrial Breakthrough link  Space News Update 25/01/11 Alien hunters today pounded the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence centre with e-mails and phone calls, following the new alien Latin "Pāx Salvē" broadcast from space made this weekend that the organization has been covering up the detection of signals from space for years and should they be worried. Allegations of a cover up were made last night on the fringe-friendly Coast to Coast radio show hosted by Art Bell. During the broadcast, professional watcher Steve Green, the Space Energy Access Systems, claimed that insiders told him that the centre had discovered a high concentration of new signals from space, and that another secret organization stepped in to block those signals because of mass public panic. According to Green, the space communications have caused a major stir with organisations around the world who hunts for intelligent life in outer space and he says " they just cannot get enough of it". Alien Signal Was Sent Years Ago Writer and explorer Erich Von Daniken made mention of the time delay phenomenon in his book In Search of Ancient Gods, commenting: "Apart from a few experts, no one knows that an artificial satellite has been revolving in our solar system for 13000 years!" According to Von Daniken the answer to this mystery was of alien origin! He quoted that in 1960 a Professor RN Bracewell of the Radio Astronomic Institute of Stanford University, "had said that if an alien intelligence had wanted to get in touch with us it might possibly do so by the delayed return of radio signals! Past News Article: "The Latin message broadcast from the alien planet "Pāx Salvē" which means "Morning peace" means shows they are so desperate to communicate with planet earth, the planet sending these messages is a unknown hidden planet has now been made classified as the 12th planet in our solar system. Professor The distance from the planet to earth is estimated around 4,644 million miles away and hides behind the declassified planet Pluto. Several RAO´s (Radio Observatories) like Aricebo and others now in the US have gone online, England is online, South Africa is online, Australia has been online since last night! Russia is going online now, Germany is still in a discussion to go online, China is online. Wide spread rumours of there being a planet next to Pluto had always been a myth until today an this remains the largest life changing event ever recorded to mankind. Government UN-officials have made a statement to the public saying: "People should relax and remain calm, the beings on this foreign planet are very similar to ourselves and show human characteristics in searching the universe. We shall wait patiently for another broadcast.." Sickening - ABC Blames Global Warming for Extreme Cold and Snow link |
24 Jan 11 - "On Friday’s World News on ABC, correspondent Linsey Davis filed a one-sided report in which she cited the views of climate scientists who blame the recent cold temperatures and high amounts of snowfall on global warming," says this article on Newsbusters.
| DIANE SAWYER: And up next, millions of people across the East saying enough already with the snow and ice and cold. Another winter storm roared through today. More records were toppled, and it heightened that question: Do the leading scientists now agree that this is global warming? And this is what winter will be from now on? Linsey Davis in Boston. "If this winter seems especially brutal, scientists say you're right," said Davis. "ABC News contacted 10 climate scientists to ask their take, if an extreme winter like the one we're having is the way of the future. The consensus? Global warming is playing a role by shifting weather patterns in unpredictable ways. Many say the forecast for the future calls for record-breaking precipitation and extreme temperatures year round. And that means winters with more snow. I find it sickening that ABC would be shoving such drivel down their viewers throats. Sickening and irresponsible. |

China’s looming food crisis- drought crippling wheat production
January 24, 2011 – BEIJING – “A prolonged dry spell in parts of northern, central and eastern China is threatening both crops and water supplies, Chinese state media says. Shandong province is experiencing its driest weather for 60 years. Half the wheat-growing land there is affected, while almost a quarter of a million people face drinking water shortages, the China Daily said. Beijing has also been experiencing its longest dry spell for more than 30 years, another state daily said. The Chinese capital has had no significant rainfall for three months, the Beijing Times reported. Analysts say this drought is likely to put further pressure on food prices, which have been rising sharply for months. In Shandong, many areas had seen no rain for four months, the provincial water bureau said. Fire trucks were being used to deliver water to 240,000 people and 107,000 livestock. The northern provinces of Shanxi and Hebei have also experienced lower than average rainfall, while the central province of Henan is facing drought.” –BBC

Growing planetary unrest: swarm of tremors rattle Bulgaria
January 24, 2011 – CHIRPAN - “A new minor earthquake occurred in Southeastern Bulgaria Monday afternoon after the region saw several similar tremors last week. The new earthquake had a 3.4 magnitude on the Richter Scale, according to the Seismology Institute of the Geophysical Center of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. The epicenter of the earthquake was 170 km southeast of Sofia, and was felt in the town of Chirpan. There are no reports of damages or casualties. Last week Southeastern Buglaria saw several earthquakes in the 3.0 Richter range.” -Novinite
More evidence we are entering a new geological epoch on Earth- Reports of quake swarms are not increasing from across the globe. Trigger one was the record number of volcanic eruptions which occurred in 2010. We are now entering trigger 2: Planetary seismic unrest…
Yellowstone: The recent bulge of the ground of 25 centimeters (10 inches) over the caldera of Yellowstone is testament to the fact that tectonic plates movement is accelerating and the North America plate is being shoved westward across the caldera and magma pools under the mantle slabs are now expanding upward. Expect new swarms of tremors to rattle the super-volcano in 2011.
Montenegro Earthquake Swarm: 
Montenegro’s earthquake swarm of 400 + earthquakes in the last 60 days continues unabated. On January 25, 2011, the country reported as many as 5 tremors in the span of a 4 hour period. The quakes are small in magnitude but they are diffused throughout the country making it difficult to identify them with any one specific set of geological fault lines. Montenegro joins an growing list of countries in the world that are now reporting chronic seismic unrest. Earthquake swarms are also now being reported in the countries of Turkey, Poland, Armenia, Central Italy, the Gulf of Oman, Greece, and Iran.

Experts warn Australia flooding an omen of disasters to come
January 24, 2011 – BRISBANE – “As deadly floodwaters reach their peak in Brisbane, residents of Australia’s third-largest city, around the same population of Vancouver, and surrounding area are bracing for the devastating aftermath, the full extent to which will only become apparent once the waters start to recede. Many residents face the prospect of not being able to return to their homes for months, while others have been made homeless by the flooding. Some experts predict it will take years to make a full recovery from this natural disaster. Reports suggest Brisbane experienced more than 460 millimetres of rain fall in the past week. That’s more than the amount of rain Winnipeg typically receives in an entire year, according to Environment Canada. But even after the cleanup is complete, experts say this year’s flooding may hold ominous portents, suggesting this type of catastrophic natural disaster may become more common in the future. “The frequency of these heavy rain events is projected to go up,” said Dr. McBean. “It is in the direction of what we expect to unfortunately get worse. As the climate warms, there will be more of these heavy deluges.” -Globe Mail
Genetically-modified, oil-eating bacteria creating dangerous mutant organisms in the Gulf ~ link ~ NaturalNews) Even the most creative science fiction movie could not have concocted the reality of what is taking place both in the Gulf of Mexico and around the world right now. Genetically-modified (GM), oil-eating bacteria introduced into the Gulf as part of the oil disaster's remediation efforts is reportedly causing the emergence of various other mutant bacteria, as well as increasingly-severe harm to humans and the environment.
Back in August, NaturalNews covered the story of Tel Aviv University scientists' proposal to use a natural oil-eating bacteria to help clean up the Gulf (http://www.naturalnews.com/029375_o...). But reports have now revealed that both scientists and BP knew of a "super" bacteria that was programmed to eat oil twice as fast as normal and set loose in the Gulf.
Here Comes $4 Gas - $5 Cups of Coffee ~ link ~ The final dam to stopping $150-a-barrel oil and $4-a-gallon gas is being breached, as financial regulation continues its daily erosion into worthlessness.
Watching the CFTC attempt to back up Dodd-Frank legislation since it was passed in July has been like watching salmon flop upstream as the water drains out -- it's slow, arduous and likely to lead nowhere.

"Abandoned garage on Highway No. 2. Western North Dakota"
Ilargi: VK, roving reporter for The Automatic Earth, has been playing with the numbers from the January 7 employment report issued by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. It seems valuable to look at unemployment from this, a different, angle. Some of it may even surprise you.
The total non institutional civilian labor force (Americans 16 years and older who are not in a institution -criminal, mental, or other types of facilities- or an active military duty) is reported as 238.889 million. Of these, we see:
- Employed: 139.206 million people (58.3% of labor force)
- Unemployed: 14.485 million people (6.1% of labor force)
Obviously, that can't be the total picture, we're only at 64.4%. This is why:
- Part time employed for economic reasons: 8.931 million people. This concerns people who want a full-time job but can't get one.
- Part time employed for non-economic reasons: 18.184 million people. Non-economic reasons include school or training, retirement or Social Security limits on earnings, but also childcare problems and family or personal obligations.
The BLS definition states: "Not in the labor force (NILF). A person who did not work last week, was not temporarily absent from a job, did not actively look for work in the previous 4 weeks, or looked but was unavailable for work during the reference week; in other words, a person who was neither employed nor unemployed." (Clearly, this does include lot of unemployed people).
To summarize: 108.616 million people in America are either unemployed, underemployed or "Not in the labor force". This represents 45.5% of working age Americans.
If you count the "Part time employed for non-economic reasons", you get 126.8 million Americans who are unemployed, underemployed, working part time or "Not in the labor force". That represents 53% of working age Americans.
So only 47% of working age Americans have full time jobs. While the official unemployment rate is 9.4%. Something's missing somewhere.
A few more factoids on the topic:
- Today, the long term unemployed make up 42% of total unemployed. That is to say, of course, those who are actually counted as unemployed instead of "Not in the labor force".
- 43.2 million Americans receive foodstamps. That's 18.1% of all working age Americans. If they all have on average 1.5 dependents, which is probably a reasonable estimate, a full one third of the US population receives at least part of their food through this system.
Of course, these are not really stamps anymore, or any sort of paper, they’re now "food stamp debit cards". Michael Snyder at Economic Collapse dug up an ABC News article from April 2009, which deals with the fact that JPMorgan Chase is one of the main servicers of the "food stamp debit cards" (in 26 states). JPMorgan also services child support debit cards (in 15 states) and unemployment insurance cards (7 states).
Granted, some things may have changed somewhat since the article was written, but even just the very ideas that are the foundation of schemes like these are worth looking at. Because, naturally, JPMorgan does this to make a profit. Says ABC:
Take Indiana. JP Morgan gets 62 to 64 cents for each food stamp case handled monthly there. With 296,245 cases right now, that means the state is paying JP Morgan $183,672 a month on top of any other fees it collects. Indiana eliminated 100 full-time employees when it hired JP Morgan to make the program cost-neutral [..].
But the greatest statement the article makes, and the reason ABC looked into this in the first place, is that JPMorgan outsourced its call and service centers for the "food stamp debit cards" to India. If that isn't indicative of the level to which ethics and morals have sunk, I don't know what is. You could conceivably create a lot of jobs for Americans in these service centers, which would get them off food stamps! For starters.
Another great example of the loss of morality was noted by Pedro Nicolaci da Costa at Reuters late last week:
Accounting tweak could save Fed from losses
Concerns that the Federal Reserve could suffer losses on its massive bond holdings may have driven the central bank to adopt a little-noticed accounting change with huge implications: it makes insolvency much less likely. The significant shift was tucked quietly into the Fed's weekly report on its balance sheet and phrased in such technical terms that it was not even reported by financial media when originally announced on January 6.
But the new rules have slowly begun to catch the attention of market analysts. Many are at once surprised that the Fed can set its own guidelines, and also relieved that the remote but dangerous possibility that the world's most powerful central bank might need to ask the U.S. Treasury or its member banks for money is now more likely to be averted.
"Could the Fed go broke? The answer to this question was 'Yes,' but is now 'No,'" said Raymond Stone, managing director at Stone & McCarthy in Princeton, New Jersey. "An accounting methodology change at the central bank will allow the Fed to incur losses, even substantial losses, without eroding its capital."
The change essentially allows the Fed to denote losses by the various regional reserve banks that make up the Fed system as a liability to the Treasury rather than a hit to its capital. It would then simply direct future profits from Fed operations toward that liability. This enhances transparency by providing clearer, more frequent, snapshots of the central bank's finances, analysts say. The bonus: the number can now turn negative without affecting the central bank's underlying financial condition.
"Any future losses the Fed may incur will now show up as a negative liability as opposed to a reduction in Fed capital, thereby making a negative capital situation technically impossible [..]". "The timing of the change is not coincidental, as politicians and market participants alike have expressed concerns since the announcement (of a second round of asset buys) about the possibility of Fed 'insolvency' in a scenario where interest rates rise significantly [..]"
'Amazing' Australian floodwaters enter new townslink

AFP/File – Flood waters engulf a home in the town of Horsham in Victoria. Surging flood waters broke levees in disaster-hit … Swollen rivers in the southeastern state of Victoria have created a flood zone measuring an estimated 90 kilometres (56 miles) long and 40 kilometres wide, the State Emergency Service said.
"This area has seen unprecedented flooding," SES spokesman Kevin Monk told AFP. "This is just amazing."
As the floodwaters rushed towards the Murray River, evacuation alerts were issued late Sunday and early Monday for the small communities of Pental Island and Murrabit West, home to about 400 people each.
In an emergency alert the SES said that levees around Murrabit West were failing, warning that the area would be inundated in the next 12 hours.
"They are being flooded now," Monk told AFP. "It's across properties. If they haven't sandbagged them, there may be some impacts on people's housing."
The Victoria floods stem from La Nina-provoked torrential rains which hit the state mid-January and followed weeks of widespread floods to the north that killed at least 30 people and devastated mining and farming in Queensland.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard again called on companies to boost their donations to the rebuilding effort, with infrastructure repairs and help for businesses and families estimated to cost some Aus$20 billion ($19.8 billion).
Champion American cyclist Lance Armstrong, who has been in Australia for the Tour Down Under in Adelaide, did his part, leading some 2,500 people on a Queensland Ride Relief fundraiser around Brisbane.
The seven-time Tour de France winner praised Queenslanders for the way they had rallied after the disaster, saying he had heard that so many people had driven into Brisbane to help clean up they caused traffic jams.
"You know what that is? That's a whole lot of heroes the whole world needs to pay attention to and copy that," he said.
"I can tell you, having lived in the United States and having watched (Hurricane) Katrina closely, there were no traffic jams going into New Orleans. So for you guys to step up like that, is unbelievable."
As Queensland begins the massive recovery phase, Victoria is dealing with a record-breaking deluge which has so far affected more than 1,700 properties in the rural northwest of the state.
Emergency officials have been preparing for potential flooding along the Murray River -- a vital lifeline in the southeast which had been hard hit by a recent protracted drought -- since record rainfalls in mid-January.
The regional centre of Swan Hill, with a population of about 10,000, was bracing for floodwaters to peak on Thursday or Friday with residents frantically sandbagging but officials expecting the levee to hold.
Arctic air blast brings temps of 50 below to New England
Bangor Daily News
FORT KENT, Maine — An arctic blast from Canada is bringing brutally frigid air and wind chills expected to dip to 50 below zero to northern New England, prompting officials to warn residents to take precautions against the cold.
The National Weather Service in Caribou issued a statewide wind chill warning Sunday night effective through Monday.
Bitterly cold air will remain over northern Maine through Monday night, forcing temperatures down below zero with negative double-digit wind chill values.
“This is the coldest air we’ve had in about two years,” said Michael Hill, a weather service meteorologist in Caribou.

The end of the net as we know itlink
Posted on 21 Jan 2011 at 13:34
ISPs are threatening to cripple websites that don't pay them first. Barry Collins fears a disastrous end to net neutrality
You flip open your laptop, click on the BBC iPlayer bookmark and press Play on the latest episode of QI. But instead of that tedious, plinky-plonky theme tune droning out of your laptop’s speakers, you’re left staring at the whirring, circular icon as the video buffers and buffers and buffers...That’s odd. Not only have you got a new 40Mbits/sec fibre broadband connection, but you were watching a Full HD video on Sky Player just moments ago. There’s nothing wrong with your connection; it must be iPlayer. So you head to Twitter to find out if anyone else is having problems streaming Stephen Fry et al. The message that appears on your screen leaves you looking more startled than Bill Bailey. “This service isn’t supported on your broadband service. Click here to visit our social-networking partner, Facebook.”
Net neutrality? We don’t have it todayThe free, unrestricted internet as we know it is under threat. Britain’s leading ISPs are attempting to construct a two-tier internet, where websites and services that are willing to pay are thrust into the “fast lane”, while those that don’t are left fighting for scraps of bandwidth or even blocked outright. They’re not so much ripping up the cherished notion of net neutrality as pouring petrol over the pieces and lighting the match. The only question is: can they get away with it?
No such thing as net neutrality
It’s worth pointing out that the concept of net neutrality – ISPs treating different types of internet traffic or content equally – is already a busted flush. “Net neutrality? We don’t have it today,” argues Andrew Heaney, executive director of strategy and regulation at TalkTalk, Britain’s second biggest ISP.
“We have an unbelievably good, differentiated network at all levels, with huge levels of widespread discrimination of traffic types. [Some consumers] buy high speed, some buy low speed; some buy a lot of capacity, some buy less; some buy unshaped traffic, some buy shaped.
“So the suggestion that – ‘oh dear, it is terrible, we might move to a two-tiered internet in the future'... well, let’s get real, we have a very multifaceted and multitiered internet today,” Heaney said.
Indeed, the major ISPs claim it would be “unthinkable” to return to an internet where every packet of data was given equal weight. “Yes, the internet of 30 years ago was one in which all data, all the bits and the packets were treated in the same way as they passed through the network,” said Simon Milner, BT’s director of group industry policy. “That was an internet that wasn’t about the internet that we have today: it wasn’t about speech, it wasn’t about video, and it certainly wasn’t about television.
“Twenty years ago, the computer scientists realised that applications would grab as much bandwidth as they needed, and therefore some tools were needed to make this network work more effectively, and that’s why traffic management techniques and guaranteed quality of service were developed in the 1990s, and then deep-packet inspection came along roughly ten years ago,” he added. “These techniques and equipment are essential for the development of the internet we see today.”
It’s interesting to note that some smaller (and, yes, more expensive) ISPs such as Zen Internet don’t employ any traffic shaping across their network, and Zen has won the PC Pro Best Broadband ISP award for the past seven years.
