    Swedish SEO trickery
      Hi guys
      Here is some interesting information about the whole "Bin Laden
      killed"-deal out of a media-perspective from Sweden.
      I've been checking around all big mainstream new sources in Europe,
      such as England, France, Spain, Germany, Russia, Sweden, Norway,
      Denmark, but also Egypt and Iran. One thing that strikes me as very
      very peculiar is that out of all above listed countries only Sweden
      and Germany are spelling Bin Laden's name as "Bin Ladin". No one else
      is doing this and it caught my attention.
      My thesis is that this is to erase Internet history through
      SEO-tricks. What will happen is that people will copy-paste (with
      keyboard or in their mind) what they see on the webpage to check back
      on old stories on the subject, but all they'll find are new articles
      where they SEO:ed the name.
      All news prior to "the killing" of Bin Laden in Swedish media has been
      the international spelling "Bin Laden".
      Another nice thing that's been done on Swedish news-sites is that they
      within the texts mix up the spellings "Bin Laden" and "Bin Ladin", so
      that media-critics as myself still cannot trace history with a search
      for the properly spelled "Bin Laden".
      I think this SEO-trick was used also when they changed the centuries
      old spelling of "Khadafi" to "Ghadafi".
      Hope this helps

      Libya: It's Not About Oil, It's About Currency and Loans : John Perkins Official Web Site
        One definition of Empire’ (per my book The Secret History of the American Empire) states that an empire is a nation that dominates other nations by imposing its own currency on the lands under its control. The empire maintains a large standing military that is ready to protect the currency and the entire economic system that depends on it through extreme violence, if necessary. The ancient Romans did this. So did the Spanish and the British during their days of empire-building. Now, the US or, more to the point, the corporatocracy, is doing it and is determined to punish any individual who tries to stop them. Qaddafi is but the latest example.

    SRAP Amb. Grossman Statement at Trilateral Meeting (05/03/2011) - U.S. Embassy Islamabad, Pakistan
      Before I make a comment about the particular meeting that we had, I thought I would make a statement about the death of Osama bin Laden because the three countries that are here share a commitment to end violent extremism.¬Ý And the three countries that are represented here consider the end of Osama bin Laden on Monday as a shared achievement for Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the United States.¬Ý This is the end of someone who was violently subverting democratic government in the region and notorious for murderous acts against innocent civilians that made him an enemy of not just the United States, but Pakistan and Afghanistan as well.¬Ý
      One thing that is so clear is that all three countries have a commitment to end extremism. This effort is far from over.¬Ý You don’Äôt have to look any farther than to look at the statement issued by the Taliban on May 1st about their spring offensive in which they have among other things used suicide bombers as young as 12 years old.

      Alex Constantine's Anti-Fascist Research Bin: MERCENARIES: COHEN GROUP, LOCKHEED, MARC GROSSMAN, 9/11, BACKSTAGE AT THE LIBBY PROSECUTION, DANIEL PEARL'S MURDER, DANNY SEBRIGHT ... & HOWARD DEAN
        Grossman entered the Plame picture when a memo written on June 10, 2003 turned up in the files, written by a staffer in the State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research (INR) on behalf of the undersecretary of State.
        In the memo, Marc Grossman requested a briefing on INR's opposition to the administration's contention that Saddam Hussein had sent out feelers toward securing uranium from Niger. The Washington Post reported that he - in the role of acting secretary of state, "since Secretary of State Colin L. Powell and Deputy Secretary Richard L. Armitage were out of the country." - wanted the letter marked "secret" preceding "a meeting at the White House where the discussion was focused on then growing criticism of Bush's inclusion in his January State of the Union speech of the allegation that Hussein had been seeking uranium. ... Grossman has refused to answer questions about the letter."4
        Michel Chossudovsky: Lt. General Ahmed as head of the ISI was a 'US approved appointee.' As head of the ISI since 1999, he was in liaison with his US counterparts in the CIA, the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and the Pentagon. Also bear in mind that Pakistan's ISI remained throughout the entire post Cold War era until the present, the launch-pad for CIA covert operations in the Caucasus, Central Asia and the Balkans. ... The Bush Administration had sought the 'cooperation' of those who were directly supporting and abetting" the 9/11 plotline. Absurd, yes, "but at the same time consistent with Washington's broader STRATEGIC and ECONOMIC objectives in Central Asia."5
        Step back in time, put yourself in the wing-tipped shoes of a Lockheed director: Is this all that is preoccupying Grossman as he gazes across his polished desk at Atta's generous benefactor - or a facile money trail for the press and FBI to follow - a few days before the terror strikes?
        What were the objectives? Were they the dictates of the State Department ... OR THE COHEN/LOCKHEED GROUP? They've been directing the Scooter Libby song-and-dance cover story all along.
        Grossman
        This was the backdrop of the Plame case - and a commutaion was waiting at the end of trial. When it was granted, the opportunity to expose the MANY scandals intersecting in Grossman's office - with Cohen and Lockheed and all cabbaged safely away in the filing cabinets - was buried, a smoking (subautomatic carbine with a complex of barrels) gun.
        The prosecution's skin-deep investigation and Bush's commutation covered up a litany of federal offenses and war crimes.
        "Access, Insight and Intelligence" is the motto of the Cohen Group.
        "Access," "insight": "In December 2000, shortly before Cohen left office, the Pentagon awarded Iridium Satellite LLC a $72 million contract, without competitive bidding, that helped save the company's communications satellites from destruction. David R. Oliver Jr. [current director of business development and technology for Naval Systems, Northrop Grumann Electronic Sensors and Systems Division], who was a senior procurement official at the time, said that he and Cohen were the Pentagon's principal advocates for the Iridium deal. Over the past two years, Iridium has paid the Cohen Group about $400,000 to lobby the House, Senate and Department of Defense, according to lobbying disclosure statements."6
        "Intelligence" for profit - conflict-of-Interests run rampant: "At the hub of the Cohen network, the former secretary makes frequent appearances on CNN, where he is a commentator on world affairs. He has served as a director of several corporations, some of which made arrangements to pay the Cohen Group for bringing in business, according to documents filed with the SEC.7
        Is this a business meeting or war strategizing?: "Nowadays, most of Cohen's mornings begin with an 8:30 staff meeting in the "Pentagon." That's the Cohen Group's name for the conference room where the daily meeting is held. On any given day, the gathering may include Joseph W. Ralston, a retired Air Force general and former vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; James M. Loy, who finished a long public career as deputy secretary of homeland security; and Marc Grossman, a former undersecretary of state. Another prominent member of the firm, former NATO secretary general and British minister of defense George Robertson, is based overseas.

      Does how much salt you eat really matter? - Daily Dose - Boston.com
        Three months after the federal government urged most Americans to sharply cut their salt intake, a new study questions whether the recommendation will benefit those without high blood pressure. The finding from Belgian researchers, published today in the Journal of the American Medical Association, indicates that healthy people who eat the least amount of sodium don't have any health advantage over those who eat the most. In fact, they had slightly higher death rates from heart disease.
