Florida Bill Would Make It Legal To Falsify Court Records (Feb 24 2007 23:50 GMT) - Florida Bill Would Make It Legal To Falsify Court Records - Our friend and colleague Winter Patriot unearths a disturbing new innovation in law enforcement now being pushed down in JebWorld: giving public officials the authority to create phony documents and plant them in public record. This includes court documents and other official papers, all created out of whole cloth in "covert ops" kept secret from other agencies and from surely it goes without saying that worthless gaggle of teeming rabble known as "the people."This astounding proposal in a bill now being dangled like so much dripping red meat before the rightwing Florida legislature, ever ready to embrace any authoritarian notion that comes along, including "shoot to kill if you're feeling paranoid" laws would "convey authority to falsify any public record to prosecutors, judges, mayors, sheriffs, coroners and other public officers," the Miami Herald reports.From Nony |

The Real Iranian Threat (Feb 24 2007 23:50 GMT) - The Real Iranian Threat - Recently the Nergal Times Herald rediscovered discarded intelligence regarding Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. Zarqawi had asked those under his command to attempt to draw the US into a war with Iran by faking munitions evidence in order to weaken the US position in Iraq. While this calls into question the validity of US evidence presented against Iran, Zarqawi may not have needed to pressure the US into Iran after all. Iran is currently attempting to create a fourth oil market based not on the US Dollar standard, but on that of the recently created Euro. The last country to trade oil in the Euro was Saddam Hussein s Iraq. |

Orbital Debris Reentry (Feb 24 2007 23:50 GMT) - Orbital Debris Reentry - On average, one non-functional spacecraft, launch vehicle orbital stage, or other piece of cataloged debris has fallen back to Earth every day for more than 40 years. The majority of these objects do not survive the intense reentry environment. For the minority which do survive in whole or in part, most fall harmlessly into the oceans or onto sparsely populated regions such as Siberia, the Australian Outback, or the Canadian Tundra. Occasionally, components of spacecraft and launch vehicles are found. Shown below are examples of objects recovered since 1997 in Texas, Saudi Arabia, and South Africa. |

No New Taxes Don't Read His Lips (Feb 24 2007 23:50 GMT) - No New Taxes Don't Read His Lips - President Bush is planning on raising taxes, but he won't come out and say it. In fact, he has continued to loudly proclaim he can balance the federal budget by 2012 and not raise taxes one cent. His rhetoric on the budget is misleading, if not outright deceitful, precisely when having an honest discussion is paramount to implementing policies to confront the long-term fiscal challenges our nation faces.From Juniper |
