      Dear Adam and John,
      Just a hello and update from Gitmo Nation Down Under. We have registered http://www.andrewbolteatcock.com to forward to No Agenda Show.com. The reason why we choose the name of Andrew Bolt Eatcock is because of the recent federal court decision in Australia that Andrew Bolt breached the racial discrimination act in a series of opinion columns published in Australian Newscorp. Papers and Online. Andrew Bolt did no research on these people's background and was trying to vilify them because they are Fair Skinned Aboriginals. Anyway I have attached the article with the full details of this case and how he tried to Disguise Racism with Freedom of Speech. More details are under Litigation on his wikipedia page.

      Presidential assassinations of U.S. citizens - Terrorism - Salon.com
        A 1981 Executive Order signed by Ronald Reagan provides: "No person employed by or acting on behalf of the United States Government shall engage in, or conspire to engage in, assassination." Before the Geneva Conventions were first enacted, Abraham Lincoln -- in the middle of the Civil War -- directed Francis Lieber to articulate rules of conduct for war, and those were then incorporated into General Order 100, signed by Lincoln in April, 1863. Here is part of what it provided, in Section IX, entitled "Assassinations":

      The Thorniest Question: When Can a President Order an American Killed? - James Joyner - Politics - The Atlantic
        The 5th Amendment to the Constitution explicitly declares that "No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person . . . be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law." Awlaki, who was not a member of the U.S. armed forces, was not afforded these rights.
      When Everyone Is an Offender - Wendy Kaminer - National - The Atlantic
        The devastating effects of this discretionary, discriminatory application of criminal sanctions pervade American society, from local communities, especially African American communities victimized by drug trafficking and the war on drugs, to the national security state and an international war on terror that effectively suspend laws against domestic surveillance, torture, and summary, indefinite detentions. This is the same system of injustice that empowers the S.E.C. to act as the greed police. Greed is no virtue; but in a democracy, law enforcement unrestrained by law is the deadliest vice.

        Speaking of the cops, Who do you think they'll mace first? SD's on W, or a guy in khakis and a polo? Seriously, it's fucking cop camouflage. And if they DO come for you. When people at home see PEOPLE THAT LOOK LIKE THEM getting abused by police... That's when shit changes.

      Land Destroyer: WARNING: Corporate-Fascist Military Coup Brewing in US?
        The US intelligence community, in conjunction with Wall Street corporate-financier interests, have spent an inordinate amount of time positioning themselves for a possible military coup and martial law take over of the United States. This is being done under the guise of the fraudulent "War on Terror" but in preparation for a very real and inevitable economic collapse. In particular, one personality above all others is being groomed by intelligence operatives and policy wonks, while built-up by the corporate media [1][2] in the eyes of the public to intercede in America's accelerating political, economic, and even global tactical decline. This man is General David Petraeus who served as former head of US Central Command which included combat operations in Iraq and former commander of US forces in Afghanistan before being sworn in as the current director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in September 6, 2011.

      BBC News - Climate fix technical test put on hold
        A pioneering test of a climate "tech fix" planned for October faces a six-month delay as scientists discuss the issues it raises with their critics.
        The test is part of the UK-based Stratospheric Particle Injection for Climate Engineering (Spice) project.
        It would use a balloon and a kilometre-long hose to spray water into the upper atmosphere - a prelude to spraying climate-cooling sulphate particles.
        But the funders believe that more talks about the social aspects are needed.
      Fisker Karma debuts on Two and a Half Men with Ashton Kutcher's new character
        The hit CBS sitcom Two and a Half Men has a brand new plugged-in star: the Fisker Karma. Last night, Fisker's $95,900-plus plug-in sedan made its debut on the show, with Walden Schmidt - the internet mogul played by A-list celeb Ashton Kutcher, real-life husband of Demi Moore - behind the wheel. Apparently, the Karma will have a reoccurring role on the CBS hit.
        Fisker spokesman Roger Ormisher went on record saying that no money exchanged hands between Fisker and CBS. Ormisher claims producers of the show displayed a fondness for the Karma and worked with Fisker's vice-president of sales and marketing, Marti Eulberg, on the vehicle's appearance. And since Fisker didn't dish out even a single coin for the Karma's appearance, Ormisher is correct in saying, "Obviously, it represents great value for money for Fisker!" That's for sure.
      Flawed Science | Greenhouse Gases | Environmental Protection Agency | The Daily Caller
        In response to a report that could lead to questions about the credibility of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) , Oklahoma Republican Sen. James Inhofe, ranking member of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, is calling for hearings to investigate. The report -- from the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) of the EPA -- reveals that the scientific basis, on which the administration's endangerment finding for greenhouse gases hinged, violated the EPA's own peer review procedure.
      How did a Sei whale get beached in the middle of a field in East Yorkshire? | Mail Online
        A young whale died after an exceptionally high equinox tide carried it 800 yards from the shoreline to a salt marsh where it then became stranded.
        The 33ft mammal, thought to be a Sei whale, was discovered in marshes on the north bank of the River Humber near the village of Skeffling.
        As the tide retreated the whale became stranded before rolling over onto its blowhole, causing it to suffocate. The highest tides of the year occur after the spring and autumn equinox.

      BBC News - Link between narcolepsy and flu vaccine investigated
        In the past six months, the number of narcolepsy cases in Beijing in China, and Scandinavian countries including Finland has risen significantly.
        While Northern Ireland's figure is very low, cases have also been reported in the UK. In the Irish Republic the Health Service Executive said it was aware of 29 new cases of potential narcolepsy in children and adolescents.
        With concern growing about the potential side effects of Pandemrix, the vaccine used during the pandemic flu in 2009, the European Medicines Agency completed a review of the drug in July 2011.
        It concluded that the benefits of Pandemrix continued to outweigh its risks, but that it may only be used in people under 20 if the recommended annual seasonal vaccine was not available and if immunization against H1N1 was still needed.
      Quadruple-dose seasonal flu "super" vaccine now being aggressively pushed onto senior citizens
        The vaccine industry has now decided that injecting senior citizens with the "standard" vaccine dose just isn't working. (Gee, really?) So now they've decided the way to make it work better is to offer a quadruple viral potency vaccine that packs 400% more viral fragments into one toxic shot.

        UNITED NATIONS: Afghanistan, its neighbours and supporters are launching a drive to boost prosperity and peace by linking the country with markets across South and Central Asia, US officials said Wednesday.
        US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Afghan Foreign Minister Zalmai Rassoul and German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle will host talks in New York Thursday on what amounts to plans for a "New Silk Road," they said.
        Like the ancient Silk Road, Afghanistan would be at the heart of lucrative trade routes between Asia and the West, but it would involve modern highways, rail links and energy pipelines, senior US administration officials told reporters.

      Pro-Assad Mob Hurls Stones, Eggs at U.S. Ambassador to Syria | Video | TheBlaze.com
        BEIRUT (The Blaze/AP) -- Angry supporters of President Bashar Assad's regime hurled tomatoes and eggs at the U.S. ambassador to Syria on Thursday as he entered the office of a leading opposition figure and then tried to break into the building, trapping him inside for three hours.
        The Obama administration blamed the Syrian government for the attack in Damascus, saying it was part of an ongoing, orchestrated campaign to intimidate American diplomats in the country. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton condemned the attack as "wholly unjustified."
      Recycled Spring
        Hi Adam,
        I was mentioning to my wife that I had just realized after episode 342
        how close we are to World War III with the elites trying to rule over
        all of Europe under the guise of the EU. She mentioned that there were
        revolutions across Europe where the slaves rose up against their
        governments in 1848, so I ran off to consult the book of knowledge.
        http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolutions_of_1848
        Interestingly enough this string of over 50 revolutions is being called
        the Spring of Nations, Springtime of the Peoples, or the Year of
        Revolution.
        Not that we didn't already know this, but the Arab Spring is just yet
        another recycled play from their playbook. Still, it's interesting to
        see how far back the playbook goes.

        Sarkozy, who was accompanied by a clutch of ministers and other officials, was to have talks with the king afterwards before returning to Paris.
        The Tangiers-Casablanca line, scheduled to enter service in 2015, cutting the journey time from nearly six hours to just over two hours, will eventually be extended to Marrakesh and Agadir, Moroccan officials have said.
        Rabat says it expects the first leg of the line to cost three billion euros ($4.1 billion), for which France has extended a 920-million-euro loan.
        The balance is being funded largely by Arab states, including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait.

      Treaty establishing the European Stability Mechanism (ESM) signed - ECFIN - European Commission
        On 11 July, finance ministers of the 17 euro-area countries signed the Treaty establishing the European Stability Mechanism (ESM). The Treaty follows the European Council decision of 25 March 2011 and builds on an amendment of Article 136 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU).
        In July 2013, the ESM will assume the tasks currently fulfilled by the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF) and the European Financial Stabilisation Mechanism (EFSM). Although the Treaty was signed by the 17 euro-area countries, the ESM will also be open to non-euro area EU countries for ad hoc participation in financial assistance operations.
      ESM, the new European dictator! - Secrets behind world events - Researches and analyses
        On 11 July 2011 the treaty was signed. Although the signature has been made public later that day, directly at the opening of a press conference with dozens of journalists, the next day there was not a single headline in the newspapers (not nationally, nor internationally) about the signature of this new European Treaty. Would it have been caused by the fact that Juncker announced it in French... before continuing the conference in English?
        At the moment the ESM treaty awaits ratification by the national Parliaments of the euro-zone countries. The ratifications are expected between today and 31 December 2011.

We are demanding that the Syrian Government take all necessary steps to protect our Embassy, to protect our diplomats in accordance with the international obligations that every country must abide by. And this is absolutely required. The Vienna Convention requires that host countries protect property and persons of diplomatic missions. And I must say that this inexcusable assault is clearly part of an ongoing campaign of intimidation aimed at not only American diplomats but diplomats from other countries, foreign observers who are raising questions about what's going on inside Syria. It reflects an intolerance on the part of the regime and its supporters, and it is deeply regrettable that we have the Asad regime continuing its campaign of violence against its own people.

      [VIDEO] Remarks With Egyptian Foreign Minister Mohamed Kamel Amr After Their Meeting
        We are also looking to implement, through the Congress, the $1 billion debt swap that President Obama announced in May. Rather than making interest payments on a debt, the Egyptian people can invest that money into new projects that create jobs and give them a better standard of living.
        We're also working on launching a network of community colleges in Egypt that would provide training for Egyptians to be able to take advantage of the investment opportunities that we hope will come to Egypt. Egypt has the largest market and the largest workforce in the Arab world. In fact, Citibank released a study earlier this year suggesting that with smart investment in its people and its political and economic systems, Egypt could become one of the top ten economies in the world. And I believe that, Minister. I really do. It's not going to happen tomorrow, but it is absolutely possible.

        "It is not clear yet whether the airstrike was by Yemeni air force or by US drone."

This is the same system of injustice that empowers the S.E.C. to act as the greed police. Greed is no virtue; but in a democracy, law enforcement unrestrained by law is the deadliest vice.

    Land Destroyer: WARNING: Corporate-Fascist Military Coup Brewing in US?
      The US intelligence community, in conjunction with Wall Street corporate-financier interests, have spent an inordinate amount of time positioning themselves for a possible military coup and martial law take over of the United States. This is being done under the guise of the fraudulent "War on Terror" but in preparation for a very real and inevitable economic collapse. In particular, one personality above all others is being groomed by intelligence operatives and policy wonks, while built-up by the corporate media [1][2] in the eyes of the public to intercede in America's accelerating political, economic, and even global tactical decline. This man is General David Petraeus who served as former head of US Central Command which included combat operations in Iraq and former commander of US forces in Afghanistan before being sworn in as the current director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in September 6, 2011.

    Fisker Karma debuts on Two and a Half Men with Ashton Kutcher's new character
      The hit CBS sitcom Two and a Half Men has a brand new plugged-in star: the Fisker Karma. Last night, Fisker's $95,900-plus plug-in sedan made its debut on the show, with Walden Schmidt - the internet mogul played by A-list celeb Ashton Kutcher, real-life husband of Demi Moore - behind the wheel. Apparently, the Karma will have a reoccurring role on the CBS hit.
      Fisker spokesman Roger Ormisher went on record saying that no money exchanged hands between Fisker and CBS. Ormisher claims producers of the show displayed a fondness for the Karma and worked with Fisker's vice-president of sales and marketing, Marti Eulberg, on the vehicle's appearance. And since Fisker didn't dish out even a single coin for the Karma's appearance, Ormisher is correct in saying, "Obviously, it represents great value for money for Fisker!" That's for sure.

    How did a Sei whale get beached in the middle of a field in East Yorkshire? | Mail Online
      A young whale died after an exceptionally high equinox tide carried it 800 yards from the shoreline to a salt marsh where it then became stranded.
      The 33ft mammal, thought to be a Sei whale, was discovered in marshes on the north bank of the River Humber near the village of Skeffling.
      As the tide retreated the whale became stranded before rolling over onto its blowhole, causing it to suffocate. The highest tides of the year occur after the spring and autumn equinox.

    BBC News - Link between narcolepsy and flu vaccine investigated
      In the past six months, the number of narcolepsy cases in Beijing in China, and Scandinavian countries including Finland has risen significantly.
      While Northern Ireland's figure is very low, cases have also been reported in the UK. In the Irish Republic the Health Service Executive said it was aware of 29 new cases of potential narcolepsy in children and adolescents.
      With concern growing about the potential side effects of Pandemrix, the vaccine used during the pandemic flu in 2009, the European Medicines Agency completed a review of the drug in July 2011.
      It concluded that the benefits of Pandemrix continued to outweigh its risks, but that it may only be used in people under 20 if the recommended annual seasonal vaccine was not available and if immunization against H1N1 was still needed.

      UNITED NATIONS: Afghanistan, its neighbours and supporters are launching a drive to boost prosperity and peace by linking the country with markets across South and Central Asia, US officials said Wednesday.
      US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Afghan Foreign Minister Zalmai Rassoul and German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle will host talks in New York Thursday on what amounts to plans for a "New Silk Road," they said.
      Like the ancient Silk Road, Afghanistan would be at the heart of lucrative trade routes between Asia and the West, but it would involve modern highways, rail links and energy pipelines, senior US administration officials told reporters.

      BEIRUT (The Blaze/AP) -- Angry supporters of President Bashar Assad's regime hurled tomatoes and eggs at the U.S. ambassador to Syria on Thursday as he entered the office of a leading opposition figure and then tried to break into the building, trapping him inside for three hours.
      The Obama administration blamed the Syrian government for the attack in Damascus, saying it was part of an ongoing, orchestrated campaign to intimidate American diplomats in the country. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton condemned the attack as "wholly unjustified."
    Recycled Spring
      Hi Adam,
      I was mentioning to my wife that I had just realized after episode 342
      how close we are to World War III with the elites trying to rule over
      all of Europe under the guise of the EU. She mentioned that there were
      revolutions across Europe where the slaves rose up against their
      governments in 1848, so I ran off to consult the book of knowledge.
      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolutions_of_1848
      Interestingly enough this string of over 50 revolutions is being called
      the Spring of Nations, Springtime of the Peoples, or the Year of
      Revolution.
      Not that we didn't already know this, but the Arab Spring is just yet
      another recycled play from their playbook. Still, it's interesting to
      see how far back the playbook goes.

    Treaty establishing the European Stability Mechanism (ESM) signed - ECFIN - European Commission
      On 11 July, finance ministers of the 17 euro-area countries signed the Treaty establishing the European Stability Mechanism (ESM). The Treaty follows the European Council decision of 25 March 2011 and builds on an amendment of Article 136 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU).
      In July 2013, the ESM will assume the tasks currently fulfilled by the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF) and the European Financial Stabilisation Mechanism (EFSM). Although the Treaty was signed by the 17 euro-area countries, the ESM will also be open to non-euro area EU countries for ad hoc participation in financial assistance operations.
    ESM, the new European dictator! - Secrets behind world events - Researches and analyses
      On 11 July 2011 the treaty was signed. Although the signature has been made public later that day, directly at the opening of a press conference with dozens of journalists, the next day there was not a single headline in the newspapers (not nationally, nor internationally) about the signature of this new European Treaty. Would it have been caused by the fact that Juncker announced it in French... before continuing the conference in English?
      At the moment the ESM treaty awaits ratification by the national Parliaments of the euro-zone countries. The ratifications are expected between today and 31 December 2011.

And this is absolutely required. The Vienna Convention requires that host countries protect property and persons of diplomatic missions. And I must say that this inexcusable assault is clearly part of an ongoing campaign of intimidation aimed at not only American diplomats but diplomats from other countries, foreign observers who are raising questions about what's going on inside Syria. It reflects an intolerance on the part of the regime and its supporters, and it is deeply regrettable that we have the Asad regime continuing its campaign of violence against its own people.

      We are also looking to implement, through the Congress, the $1 billion debt swap that President Obama announced in May. Rather than making interest payments on a debt, the Egyptian people can invest that money into new projects that create jobs and give them a better standard of living.
      We're also working on launching a network of community colleges in Egypt that would provide training for Egyptians to be able to take advantage of the investment opportunities that we hope will come to Egypt. Egypt has the largest market and the largest workforce in the Arab world. In fact, Citibank released a study earlier this year suggesting that with smart investment in its people and its political and economic systems, Egypt could become one of the top ten economies in the world. And I believe that, Minister. I really do. It's not going to happen tomorrow, but it is absolutely possible.
