A Manchurian Candidate in the White House?
A Manchurian Candidate in the White House?: "Bush also famously ignored all warnings about the imminent attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. How much he and the rest of the administration knew about that attack in advance, or whether elements within the administration may have even helped it along, remains the subject of considerable interest and investigation and may never be answered, but it is clear that there were ample warnings about it, and he did nothing-even rudely blowing off a briefer who tried to alert him to the danger. Moreover, it is known that Israeli Mossad agents (who we know have close ties to both the US intelligence apparatus and to the Neocons who infest the Bush White House) did indeed have advance knowledge, and were set up across New York Harbor with a video camera to tape the attack on the Twin Towers (they were subsequently arrested by New Jersey police, only to be later released and sent back to Israel, through intercession by the US government). As well, we know that unidentified people made a killing by placing negative bets, called 'puts,' on the stocks, several days before 9-11, of the two airlines that were hijacked, American and United, and of two investment banks that would be seriously hurt by the building collapses, Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley. (The puts were placed through an investment bank, Alex Brown, which un"

Nearly 70 percent of Americans believe traditional journalism is out of touch, and nearly half are turning to the Internet to get their news, according to a new survey.
While most people think journalism is important to the quality of life, 64 percent are dissatisfied with the quality of journalism in their communities, a We Media/Zogby Interactive online poll showed.
'That's a really encouraging reflection of people who care A) about journalism and B) understand that it makes a difference to their lives,' said Andrew Nachison, of iFOCOS, a Virginia-based think tank which organized a forum in Miami where the findings were presented."

By Andrew Pollack (International Herald Tribune) TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 2006
At the dawn of the era of genetically engineered crops, scientists were envisioning all sorts of healthier and tastier foods, including cancer-fighting tomatoes, rot-resistant fruits, potatoes that would produce healthier French fries and even beans that would not cause flatulence.

Alex Jones' Infowars: There's a war on for your mind!
Alex Jones' Infowars: There's a war on for your mind!: "'You have to feel the ray gun to believe it,' says 60 Minutes correspondent David Martin, speaking about a non-lethal weapon the Pentagon has developed, 'and there’s only one way to do that.'
Martin was reportedly 'zapped' 17 times for this piece, demonstrating the effects, as well as the possibility that a person could reduce the impact with shields of various materials.
'The gun is really an antenna which shoots out this very high-frequency radio beam that penetrates the skin to a depth of 1/64 of an inch, which is just deep enough to hit the nerves,' says Martin. 'And it creates this instantaneous sensation of heat which makes anyone who is hit with it try to get out of the way as fast as possible."
