Hal Turner is a "National Security Intelligence" Asset
Hal Turner is a "National Security Intelligence" Asset

In an effort to save former blogger and radio talk show host Hal Turner from years in prison, the Family of Hal Turner blog has posted pages from a heavily redacted trial transcript.
Hal Turner, "National Security Intelligence" asset.
"According to Assistant Special Agent in Charge (ASAC) Amy Pickett, the third highest ranking FBI Official in New York City, Hal Turner was involved in 'National Security Intelligence.' According to Pickett's testimony which appears in a scanned image of the official Trial transcript below, Hal Turner dealt with 'National Security Intelligence, terrorism and foreign counterintelligence' while he served with the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF)," the blog explains.
His code name was "Valhalla" and "he received thousands of dollars from the FBI to report on such groups as the Aryan Nations and the white supremacist National Alliance, and even a member of the Blue Eyed Devils skinhead punk band," according to The Record.
When asked by Turner's attorney if he is a criminal, Pickett admitted Turner "was National Security. He was an intelligence informant." Turner worked for the FBI on "National Security, terrorism, foreign counterintelligence. There are people that are giving information that affects the national security of the United States, terrorism, matters that are going to affect the population or people overall, something that's really going to hinder and hurt a large group of people or the national security of the United States."
A d v e r t i s e m e n t
Did Turner help the FBI protect the national security of the United States from nefarious foreign enemies? Hardly. He was sent undercover to Brazil where he reported a scheme to send non-military supplies to Iraqi resistance fighters. In other words, he actively supported the illegal occupation of Iraq (current death toll well over a million people).
Hal Turner, described as a patriot by the Family of Hal Turner, was placed on the periphery of the patriot movement in order to discredit the movement with his racist tirades. He began his career as "Hal from North Bergen" (New Jersey) by calling into neocon talk shows including shows hosted by Bob Grant and Sean Hannity. He went on to serve as campaign manager for Libertarian Party candidate Murray Sabrin in New Jersey in the 1990s, including a 1997 gubernatorial campaign. Turner later joined up with the white nationalist group National Vanguard.
The FBI, under its long-running COINTELPRO, subsidized, armed, directed and protected the Klu Klux Klan and other racist groups.
As the Department of Homeland Security's leaked document on "rightwing extremism" reveals, the government is more interested in "domestic terrorism" (opposition to the government and the ruling elite) than any imagined foreign threat (including Iraqi resistance fighters and the manufactured terror group al-Qaeda, now back in vogue in the wake of the underwear bomber false flag operation).
"A second trial is scheduled for March 1," for Turner, who stands accused of threatening government officials, concludes the Family of Hal Turner blog. "In the meantime, it might be nice to hear from Hal's most ardent critics. What do they have to say about Hal now that it turns out what he was doing on the air was an FBI operation designed to protect America?"
The FBI and its post-modern COINTELPRO are not designed to protect America. The FBI has long served as a secret political police. Hollywood and the corporate media like to pretend the FBI's task is to go after bank robbers, kidnappers, and other non-political criminals when in fact its primary role is to destroy any credible and effective political opposition to the government and the global ruling elite.
Hal Turner, betrayed by his paymaster, was part of this authoritarian effort to silence all opposition.

Officials Claim Second Man Unrelated To Christmas Attack
Bomber's accomplice being protected? Multiple eyewitness accounts contradicted

Thursday, December 31, 2009
Having first denied the very existence of a possible accomplice in the Christmas Day bombing attempt, officials are now denying that a second man detained in the aftermath of the Flight 253 incident had anything to do with the attack, completely contradicting multiple eyewitness accounts.
Authorities have attempted to downplay the significance of other men seen involved in the plot, including an Indian man that helped bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab board the plane, another man witnessed filming the entire flight including the bombing attempt, as well as an Indian man handcuffed by the FBI after sniffer dogs detected something suspicious in his luggage.
"Federal officials did take a second person into custody at Detroit Metropolitan Airport shortly after an attempted bombing incident on Northwest Airlines Flight 253, but the passenger who got handcuffed was off a different flight, and the incident was not related, a U.S. Customs and Border Protection official said today," reports the Detroit News.
"There was a second person taken into custody, but it had nothing to do with Flight 253," chief Customs and Border Protection officer Ron Smith said. "They did see dogs, but again, it was a totally different incident," said Smith, who indicated that the arrest was drug-related.
However, this totally contradicts the circumstances of the aftermath of the incident as described by numerous eyewitnesses.
It seems unlikely that the man could have been on a different flight because all the passengers from Flight 253 were kept in the same area away from other passengers, as would be required after an attempted terrorist attack. All three eyewitnesses that saw the man being led away were convinced that he was a passenger on the same plane.
After the sniffer dogs flagged up the man's luggage, Flight 253 passengers were told not to use mobile phones or computers and were then moved to another area. "You're being moved," the FBI told them, "it is not safe here. I'm sure you all saw what happened and can read between the lines and why you're being moved."
Both Kurt Haskell and fellow passenger Daniel Huisinga said the FBI agents clearly indicated that they were being moved because explosives had been found in the Indian man's bags. Why would passengers be told that the area was unsafe and then moved if only drugs had been found in the man's bags? This contradiction has been completely ignored by the mainstream media, who have dutifully swallowed the denial that the second man was involved in the plot without question.
In addition, when FBI agents interviewed eyewitness Kurt Haskell, they showed him photographs of the Indian man, suggesting they knew or suspected he was connected to the incident. If the man was on a different plane and detained on a drug-related charge then why days after the fact were the FBI still asking questions about him in relation to the Flight 253 attack?
In addition, witnesses who described a well-dressed Indian man arguing that Abdulmutallab should be allowed to board the plane despite the fact that he had no passport have also been contradicted by new claims that the bomber was carrying a valid Nigerian passport and U.S. visa.
The fact that officials first denied that the second man even existed, followed by subsequent attempts to whitewash his involvement in the attack is highly suspicious, especially in light of their refusal to even discuss the other men seen helping the bomber and then filming his attempted attack.
As is routine with false flag terror attacks, the official story is formulated and maintained from the very start, no matter how many eyewitness accounts contradict and undermine almost every aspect of it. The fact that men who were clearly involved in the attack are now being protected by federal authorities makes it clear that the Christmas Day attack is a great deal more complex than how it has been sold to the public by authorities and the media.

An Illuminati Conception: The Murder Of Millions
An interesting and very rare quote from the Catholic Church: "We [the Illuminati] have spread the spirit of revolt and false liberalism among the nations of the Gentiles so as to persuade them away from their faith and even make them ashamed of professing the precepts of their Religion and obeying the Commandments of their Church. We have brought many of them to boast of being atheists, and more than that, to glory in being descendants of the ape! We have given them new theories, impossible of realisation, such as Communism, Anarchism, and Socialism, which are now serving our purpose....The stupid Gentiles have accepted them with the greatest enthusiasm, without realising that those theories are ours, and that they constitute our most powerful instruments against themselves" ("The Catholic Gazette," Feb. 1936.)
Maurice Strong and the new world order
Dear friends
I have posted below relevant excerpts from the Scottish Rite page from the Ancient & Primitive Rite of Memphis Misraim's website that shows through their own research & that of H. Leadbeater & H.P.Blavatsky that the Scottish Rite & advanced degree Freemasonry is of Catholic & particularly Jesuit origin.
The role of the Stewarts in these Masonic developments is crucial. Aso: Despite the statement that: "In the later form in which it emerges in 1754 both Jacobite and Jesuit connections had been dropped, and the succession, together with certain ceremonial degrees, probably including a form of the Kadosh, had passed into the hands of distinguished French noblemen, courtiers, military officers, and the elite of the professions", my researches have demonstrated to my satisfaction that the Jesuit/Vatican oversight of key Masonic obediences continues to this day.
|From 1740 onwards, there existed at Avignon, capital of the department Vaucluse, a school or rather many schools of Hermeticism, working in some cases under Masonic forms on the basis of the Craft degrees, with an intermediate structure of so-called Scots degrees. The head of the movement was apparently Dom. Ant. Jos. de Pernety (1716-1801), a Benedictine Monk, alchemist, and mystic.
W. Leadbeater wrote in "Glimpses of Masonic History" the following: ...
The Scottish adherents of King James II, who followed him into exile after the landing of the Prince of Orange in 1688, brought to the English Court at S. Germains (which had been placed at the disposal of the King by Louis XIV) those ancient rites of Heredom and Kilwinning, intermingled with the Templar tradition, to which we have already referred. When King James II fled from England he took refuge at the Jesuit Abbey of Clermont, which had attached to it a College of Clermont in Paris, founded by Guillaume du Prat, Bishop of Clermont, in 1550.* (*The Catholic Encyclopaedia (1913), Vol. xiv, p. 88.) There, most unexpectedly, the King found a Masonic centre, working rites which had been handed down in France from a remote past. An intermingling of two traditions thus took place, and it was at this period - many years before the revival in 1717 - that certain of the ceremonies which are to-day included in the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite were first put together.
It is probably this fact which gave birth to that other recurring tradition that the Jesuits were connected with the development of high-grade Masonry on the Continent; and it is from this indigenous French tradition, of which another branch had found its way into the Compagnonnage, that the rituals of French Craft Masonry - so different from the English - were derived. ...
Ramsay was born in 1681 or 1682 at Ayr near Kilwinning (though he does not seem ever to have joined that ancient Lodge). He was converted to Ramsay was born in 1681 or 1682 at Ayr near Kilwinning (though he does not seem ever to have joined that ancient Lodge). He was converted to Catholicism by Archbishop Fenelon, whose Life he wrote and with whom he continued to live till his death in 1715. After that he acted as tutor to the two sons of the rightful King James III in Rome. He was unquestionably a learned man, a deep student both of ancient and modern history, a D.C.L. of Oxford University and, like many other prominent Freemasons of the period, a Fellow of the Royal Society. He never appears to have taken much interest in Masonry, though he wrote to Cardinal Fleury, the Prime Minister of France, in 1737 asking his protection for the Freemasons, and stating that their ideals were very high and most useful to religion, literature and the state. He died in 1743. ...
According to him, Masonry was founded in remote antiquity and was renewed or restored in the Holy Land at the time of the Crusades. It has affinities with the ancient Mysteries, especially those of Ceres at Eleusis, Isis in Egypt and others. The Crusaders adopted a set of "ancient signs and symbolical words drawn from the well of religion," which were intended to distinguish Crusader from Saracen, and were concealed under strict pledges of secrecy. The intimate union between the Crusading Masons and the Knights of S. John of Jerusalem is the reason why the Blue degrees are called S. John's Masonry. The returning Crusaders brought Lodges of Masonry to Europe, and from thence they were introduced into Scotland, where "James, Lord Steward of Scotland, was Grand Master of a Lodge established at Kilwinning, in the West of Scotland in 1286, shortly after the death of Alexander III, King of Scotland, and one year before John Baliol mounted the throne". ...
Our main channel of descent lies behind the Scots Lodges, and first appears indubitably in the outer world in the Chapter of Clermont, commonly thought to have been founded by the Chevalier de Bonneville in 1754,* (*Ibid., p. 94.) but in reality a continuation of that same Order of the Temple into which Baron von Hund was received in 1743, which was derived from the Scottish courtiers exiled at S. Germains and from the College of Clermont. ...
In the later form in which it emerges in 1754 both Jacobite and Jesuit connections had been dropped, and the succession, together with certain ceremonial degrees, probably including a form of the Kadosh, had passed into the hands of distinguished French noblemen, courtiers, military officers, and the elite of the professions.* (*Ibid., p. 95.) It was in this Chapter of Clermont and in the Council of the Emperors of the East and West into which it was transformed in 1758, that the colossal work of casting the ancient traditions into a ceremonial rite was to a great extent per formed; and it is in these two bodies, which were yet one body, that the immediate origin of our Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite is to be found. ...

H. P. Blavatsky wrote in "Isis Unveiled" - Vol. 2 the following:
"That bastard foundling of Freemasonry, the 'Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite,' which is unrecognized by the Blue Lodges was the enunciation, primarily, of the brain of the Jesuit Chevalier Ramsay. It was brought by him to England in 1736-38, to aid the cause of the Catholic Stuarts. ...

... i ask to see if they have any info on the ancient rite of atlantis.
another interesting chart was this one which i highlighted with some stuff that stood out for me.
John 3:16 - For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
It is worth copying each page for reference. I don't think I'd got around to posting the page that you got that pic off, buy yeah, that struck me as being most thought provoking.
There wasn't too much on the various Martinist & Rosicrucian orders (which are key Illuminati orders) or the more modern Church of Satan & Temple of Set (presumably due to neither being directly derived from apostolic succession or patent based quasi-Masonic traditions), but covered pretty much everything else.
Leadbeater (see quotes above) has a scandalous bio at Wikipedia & elsewhere, but he states his sources & the evidence presented above is sound. The truth is the truth, whether coming from the devil's mouth or the word of God.

From 2000 to 2010
Yemen is apart of the war on terror since it has oil near Saudi Arabia. It exports billions of dollars worth of crude oil per year. Some believe its oil supplies are shrinking. Yemeni crude oil exports decreased to $1.5 billion during the fiscal period from January -October of 2009, compared with $4.2 billion during the same period of 2008, a decrease of $2.7 billion, the Central Bank of Yemen reported. Some believe its oil reserves are decreasing and it could lose it tally by 10 years. Of course, this doesn't prove Peak Oil since oil resources are gorwing in other places globally as well. There was a FBI informat named Brandon Darby (who is in the Austin area) who is accused of stinging RNC 2008 anarchists connected to a "firebomb plot" on Brave New Books and being connected to the "suicided" Palestinian activist Riad Hamad. He was left in the bottom of the Lady Bird Lake in Austin. Riad's mouth was gagged and arms ductaped behind his back. It's hard to commit suicide when your arms duct taped behind you. Reports mention that he was monitored by FBI informant/prvocateur Brandon Darby. Darby set up 2 anarchist/leftist from Austin with molotov cocktails. The 2 people (named David McKay and Bradley Crowder) were arrested for alleged plans to attack police cars outside the RNC 2008 in Minnesota in connection with the RNC Welcoming Committee. Since Darby's exposure as an admitted FBI informant, flyers have been seen in coffeehouses across Austin reading "Wanted: Brandon Darby An Informant Rat Loose in Austin." Scott Crow is an anarchist/leftist who created the Hurricane Katrina relief group called "Common Ground Collective." He made ties of the FBI/Police informant role of Darby with his group. Scott claims that in 2006 after Brandon Darby was admittedly an FBI informant, Darby attempted to recruit Crow on a plot to "firebomb" Brave New Books of Austin, Texas. He said that Darby stirred things us and then he left. This astonishing information was brought to my attention by Harlan of Brave New Books, but the connection to Riad Hamad it was found only afterwards in Crow's posts. According to the defendants, Darby had encouraged the violence and had provoked the younger activists to take this direction, an allegation Darby denies. Darby admits that he was asked by the bureau to be the "eyes and ears" to monitor the small, loose-knit group of activists that included McKay. Crow regretted supporting Darby who was a FED agent. Darby contacted the FBI to be an informant. Dary claimed to convince Chavez of Venezuela to help the Hurricane Katrina relief effort. FBI Informant Brandon Darby claims he went undercover to stop Riad Hamad from 'recruiting people for 'terroristic' like activities. Could Darby have been really entrapping Hamad? Why was Hamad found dead, gagged and duct-taped at the bottom of a lake? Scott Crow said that Brandon Darby introduced him to Riad Hamad and other Palestinians at Green Muse Cafe coffee shop in Austin. Darby tells him that these are real revolutionaries not just anarchists. Crow said that he knew Darby for more than 6 years inside the Austin activist community. Darby was grandstanding (and he slep with women ate meat when most activists were vegan and acted fake). He acted like an agent. So, agents in the 21st century still exist.
Health Information is vital to know. Americans aren't the most healthiest people in the world. The Federal Food and Drug Administration was made to watch our food. Now, we have huge, massive health care facilities. There are still health issues. Examples include the government using chlorine to try to "purify" our water and using flouride to make our teeth strong, etc. The truth is that chlorine can cause your arteries to harden. Flouride can cause bone damage and mental problems (like hurting the functioning of thought and the memory processes of the brain). This is done with the knowledge of these side effect among the corporate elite (which use these poisons to pacify the populations of the USA like the Nazis used flouride back in WWII to pacify the prisoners in their evil concentration cmaps). The USA is ranked 31st in life expectancy. We are ranked 37th in infant mortality, and 34th in maternal mortality. A child in the United States is 2.5 times more likely to die by age five than a child in Singapore or Ireland. Some immunizations continue to make many children autistic. Elementary school children are commonly given mind-altering drugs to settle them down. It's typical that some of these mind altering drugs are dangerous can some compare it to demons or harmful spirits. Being overly drugged from cradle to grave can create an addiction. Hospitals and companies benefit from human beings being sick. If people weren't sick, profits would go down among Big Pharma. One way this cycle continue is BPA or the Bisphenol-A. Tests recently prove that 9 out of ten babies in the USA are born with BPA in their system. It's been found that 93% of all Americans tested (regardless of age) have found BPA in their urine. BPA is a snthetic estrogen substance. It is produced by condensation of acetone, which produces two equivalents of phenol when catalyzed by hydrochloric acid. It is used to make polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins. It is used as a lining for nearly all food and beverage cans and as a coating for carbonless paper receipts. 6 billion pounds of BPA are used per year. It has been linked to breast cancer, proprostate cancer, reproductive failures, heart disease, diabetes, asthma, obesity, and behavioral problems. In spite of this danger, the FDA have declared BPA to be safe for all uses (with only 2 studies they based it from done by the chemical industry which produces the BPA product). That's a slick scheme. The world of electronics have destroyed our bodies, souls, and minds. The new X-Ray machiens in airports have backscatter radiation devices. It uses tetrahertz radiation taht can do more than reveal the private parts of the human bdoy. It can interfere with human DNA even if the radiation is too small to cuase cellular or genetic damage to the body. This radiation can unzip double stranded DNA. This causes bubbles in the double strand. Potentially health problems can occur as a result of DNA being unzip. So, our health is important to learn . These signs represent the coming of the Saviour is soon.
The Human Society has an animal cruelty ad, but it's rare for mainstream society to describe the victims of abortion. The Human Society represent a legitimate explosure of animal cruelty. Images they show are of abused pets appear on screens in commericals. Man's cruelty to animals is evil. The ad was effective. Cable television doesn't ran commericals showing the violated faces of preborn children attacked by abortion. Some viewers can't stand to be exposed to brutality against the unbron day after day. Some people would fight the injustice even more if abortion images were shown in commericals. Some folks won't call themselves pro-choice (which is a lie since abortion ends the choice of the unborn baby to live in the Earth. It depletes choice not increasing it). The cable TV host Bill O'Reilly called "Schlinder's List" as one of the best movies of all time. The film legitimately brought the horror of the Holocaust to the attention of students around the country. There is something that shoud be known. There isn't a similar film about the grotesqueness of abortion with an all star cast and a top notch director. Many Americans' eyes would be open if such a film would exist. Some preschoolers shouldn't see it. There would be protests. Some believe that a R Rating would be fixed on such a movie, so abortion can be finally shown into the public consciousness. There is a blindness among some people on the grisly work of abortion. There is a blindness of public officials who are under the misguided notion that they are somehow helping women by defending the aborting of their offspring. And then there's the blindness of voters who believe that it doesn't really matter if they cast ballots for politicians who label themselves "pro-choice." Youtube can filled the cultural void by bringing more information on the ugly truth about abortion to the masses. Generation Y can use videos even more to combat the evil tragedy of abortion. There is no need of political correctness, but real facts to expose the evils of abortion.
The Detriot incident has many questions and some believe it was a staged event. The person caught is named Abdulmutallab. He is more than just an extremist trying to ignite a powdery explosive substance on board a flight into the USA (He is from Nigeria). Eyewitnesses point to a man helping the accused young terrorsist to board an aircraft without a password. There is an unusal cameraman documenting the attempted attack on board the plane. This raise more than red flag and it could point to an intelligence operation (in the form of a drill) that is utilized to continue this evil war on terror. Even CNN interviewed key flight witnesses during their December 28th program raising these points (and a possible intelligence handler). Kurt Haskell and his wife saw a well dressed, wealthy looking Indian man giving assistance to Farouk Abdulmutallab at the boarding gate in Amsterdam. Haskell said that the accused bomber looked "poor" next to the well dressed man. Haskell said that the man did the talking for Abdullamutallab claiming that he was a Sudanese refugee, so he doesn't need a passport to board the aircraft. The gate attended reffered the odd couple of a older Indian man and a Nigerian young man (who was reported to U.S. authorities by his own father) to the manager. Haskell said that's the last he saw of the wealthy man. Haskell's wife, Laurie, said that it's odd that authorities didn't follow up on the seeing the Indian man prior to boarding the flight. A camerman pictured the whole flight. This cameraman was the only one standing up and intently filmed the entire incident. Now, neo-liberals and neo-cons like Senator Liberman want to preemptively attack Yemen. Also, there are body scanners that can see the naked human body, etc. Kurt Haskell made bombshell revelations also about Flight 253. He said that the FBI detained a 2nd man after dogs detected a bomb in his luggage. The FBI has not only ignored Haskell's story, but they have launched a cover-up by refusing to even acknowledge the existence of another man who filmed the entire flight, including the aborted attack, as well as the well-dressed man who aided the bomber to board the plane even though he had no passport and was on a terror watch list. Haskell believed that the FBI have acted lackadaiscal in how they handled airport security after the plane landed at the Detriot Metro airport in Romulus, Michigan. Haskell said that the FBI showed him images of people, but the agents tried to pass off 2 photos of Mutallab to discredit him. Mr. Haskell questioned why officials have not released the Amsterdam airport security video that will undoubtedly reveal crucial information about the "sharp-dressed man" who escorted a disheveled Mutallab to the boarding area. He said that the FBI used a bomb sniffing dog to handcuff another Indian young man. Later, the FBI moved the passengers to another location. The Nigerian man has been called the underwear bomber.

Neocon Gingrich Demands Muslims Be Profiled as Terrorists
Neocon Gingrich Demands Muslims Be Profiled as Terrorists

December 30, 2009
Newt Gingrich said in a twitter the other day that the government needs to begin profiling people in response to the staged Christmas day underwear non-bombing. "We need a new policy of systematically going after terrorists that involves explicit profiling and explicit discrimination for behavior," said the prominent neocon. "It is time to go to profiling of dangerous people."
Neocons such as Newt Gingrich want to create a Nazi-like profiling system.
Neocon talk radio host Mike Gallagher threw in his two cents. "There should be a separate line to scrutinize anybody with the name Abdul or Ahmed or Mohammed," he said. Gallagher is a regular at Fox News and often fills in for the "great American" (great for cheer-leading wars and illegal occupations) Sean Hannity.
Gingrich, Gallagher, and the neocons are taking their cues from Rep. Peter King of New York who raised the idea of profiling people based on their religions.
Newt Gingrich is a top neocon mobster at both the American Enterprise Institute and the Hoover Institution. He served on the Pentagon's Defense Policy Board along with arch criminal Henry Kissinger, the Prince of Darkness Richard Perle, and former CIA boss James Woolsey. The Pentagon has historically packed the Board with operatives from Bechtel, Boeing, TRW, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, Booz Allen Hamilton, and other death merchants. Gingrich, the neocon cabal, and the Board are directly responsible for the murder of 1.2 million people in Iraq.
A d v e r t i s e m e n t
As Infowars and Prison Planet have detailed over the last few days, the Muslim would-be underwear bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab is an obvious patsy who is currently being used to create a new state of irrational hysteria, calls for draconian limitations on civil liberties, and demands that the poverty-stricken state of Yemen be attacked and more innocents slaughtered.
It is not surprising that Gingrich and his crew of fellow neocons are calling for Nazi-like measures against Muslims. Neocons were sidelined after the election of Wall Street front man Barack Obama. However, with this latest orchestrated effort to reinvigorate the flagging war on terror, they are once again chortling for mass murder and profiling of Muslims akin to Nazis profiling Jews in Germany.
Neocons love the orchestrated underwear non-bombing incident because it once again thrusts them into the limelight and rekindles their warped and sadistic fantasies of stinking pyres of mass murdered Muslims from Yemen to Iran and beyond.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials have admitted that a second man possibly carrying explosives was detained after last week's aborted plane bombing attack, contradicting initial statements by the FBI that Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab was the only person arrested or charged in relation to Friday's foiled attack.
As we reported yesterday, attorney and Flight 253 eyewitness Kurt Haskell said that he saw a well-dressed Indian man aid the accused bomber to board the plane despite the fact that he had no passport and was on a terror watch list. After the incident, while the passengers were being detained, Haskell witnessed an Indian man being handcuffed and led away after a bomb-sniffing dog had flagged up his luggage. The FBI then removed the other passengers from the area, strongly indicating that explosive materials had been found in the man's bag.
Officials have now been forced to acknowledge that a second man was detained despite initial FBI denials after two more witnesses came forward to validate Haskell's account.
"Daniel Huisinga of Fairview, Tenn., who was returning from an internship in Kenya for the holidays, says he also saw a man being taken away in handcuffs at the airport after a dog search. A third person, Roey Rosenblith, told The Huffington Post on Sunday that he saw a man in a suit being placed into handcuffs and escorted out, as well," reports Michigan Live.
"Huisinga talked about seeing a man taken away at the airport during an interview Monday on MSNBC. He mentions it at about the 1:25 mark of the video below. The reporter appears to confuse Huisinga's account with a man who was detained on a separate flight Sunday and deemed not to be a threat."
Huisinga later told Michigan Live that the Indian man who was later detained by the FBI after dogs had detected something suspicious in his baggage was "wearing a nice suit," raising questions as to whether this was the same man who helped Abdulmutallab board the plane. Huisinga was located about 20 feet from where the man was handcuffed.
Huisinga shared Haskell's view that the passengers were moved because more explosives had been discovered, adding that agents told the passengers that they could not use their cell phones or computers. "We were kind of left to draw our own conclusions," he said.
"It is unknown why the person was detained or whether the person will face any charges," U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesman Ron Smith told MLive.com.
The FBI is still denying that a second person was detained in relation to the incident, raising suspicions as to whether the well-dressed Indian man is being protected by the authorities and for what reason.
"There's a lot of stories out there, whether any of them are accurate or not, or they're a little bit accurate and blown out of proportion," FBI spokesman Bill Carter said. "But I'm not aware of anyone charged or arrested other than Abdulmutallab."
MLive.com writers attempted to contact the U.S. Department of Justice for clarification, but their calls have not been returned.

Clueless Liberals and Neocons Slug It Out Over Fake al-Qaeda
Clueless Liberals and Neocons Slug It Out Over Fake al-Qaeda

It's a pity. News Hounds usually pegs Fox News pretty accurately. But the blog has slipped lately. For instance, a post today accuses the corporate media leviathan of hating Obama more than al-Qaeda.
"Those America lovers over at Fox Nation are so obsessed with ginning up hatred for President Obama, there's not much room for focusing on what Al Qaeda is up to. They're whom I would consider the real enemies of America. But judging from the top stories and the comments, the residents of Fox Nation — readers and writers – seem to think that the real enemy is our president. Many of the comments even say so," writes Ellen.
News Hounds points to a Fox Nation article citing the scurrilous neocon Ralph Peters who says "the bomber's ineptitude preserved the lives of nearly 300 innocents." Did ineptitude place a man with a camcorder who videotaped the patsy Abdulmutallab on the flight as well?
In predictable fashion, Peters — a retired United States Army Lieutenant Colonel who once drew up a map of a reorganized Middle East — reduces the issue to a ridiculous black and white caricature.
According to Peters, everybody on the plane was Christian and the plan was to engage in yuletide terror and mass murder. "By continuing to lie to ourselves. Although willing — at last — to briefly use the word 'terror,' yesterday President Obama still refused to make a connection between the action, the date and Islam," Peters declares.
It is sad both so-called liberals and conservatives are so blindsided by propaganda and spin they cannot recognize a false flag operation when they see one. It should be obvious by now — from the well-dressed man escorting the clueless Nigerian wanna-be underwear bomber to a mysterious man videotaping the operation — that the Christmas event is not what Fox and MSNBC or the rest of the corporate media tell us it is.
A d v e r t i s e m e n t
Fox Nation is a rest stop for neocons who want to kill Muslims and News Hounds is an excuse to protect Obama from criticism. Far too many liberals are oblivious to the fact Obama is nothing if not a cigar store Indian for the banksters who don't give a whit about political striping.
Liberals and neocons are unable to accept or even recognize an exhaustively documented fact — al-Qaeda was created by the CIA and is not even an organization in the commonly accepted sense of the word. It is a government and corporate media manufactured hobgoblin designed to scare people into accepting the destruction of the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and acquiescing to endless war waged on behalf of bankers and transnational corporations.
The real enemy is not Fox Nation, as News Hounds believes. It is a cartel of international bankers who have a vested interest in keeping people stupid and distracted by a false right-left sideshow.

It's gotten to the point where I have to turn my head away when I hear the opening bars of music. The haunting melody is the soundtrack for a tear-jerker of a commercial for the Humane Society. Images after images of abused pets appear on the screen. As the joyful owner of a tabby, I find portrait after portrait of man's cruelty hard to fathom.
To me, it's quite an effective ad. I want the miserable music to stop, the cats to be placed in loving homes, the crescendo of a happy ending to play. A few dollars a month can stop this horrendous inhumanity? Sign me up to be a donor.
But while watching this spot for the umpteenth time, I couldn't help but wonder: What if cable television ran commercials showing the violated faces of preborn children attacked by abortion? Could viewers stand to be exposed to such brutality, day after day? Would they let the injustice of abortion stand? Would many admit to being "pro-choice," if those images haunted our television screens?
It came as little surprise to me when cable TV host Bill O'Reilly named "Schindler's List" as one of the best movies of all time. The film has brought the horror of the Holocaust to the attention of students around the country. There is something about the moving image that demands to be noticed. What if there were a "Schindler's List"-type film about the grotesqueness of abortion, with an all-star cast and top-notch director? Would the eyes of Americans be open then to what abortion is really about?
I understand the concerns of the mothers of preschoolers who don't want their children confronted with violent images of abortion on street corners. There are some who say that such displays tend to make people angry—often at the people holding the signs.
But if an "R" rating were affixed to a movie…or a proper warning were given before a commercial…is it possible that the reality of abortion finally would be thrust into public consciousness? It seems to me that what keeps the abortion industry going is blindness—blindness of those who do the grisly work…blindness of the women who think they have no other choice…blindness of public officials who are under the misguided notion that they are somehow helping women by defending the aborting of their offspring. And then there's the blindness of voters who believe that it doesn't really matter if they cast ballots for politicians who label themselves "pro-choice."
Perhaps You Tube will fill the cultural void…bringing the ugly truth about abortion to the multi-media masses. I have a feeling Generation Y will use video in a whole new way to combat the tragedy of abortion. The drama of life after life lost in the name of political correctness is a heartbreaking movie that demands to be made.

Ron Paul Says Agenda Behind Bombing Incident Is More War, More Attacks On Liberty

Paul Joseph Watson
Tuesday, December 29, 2009
Congressman Ron Paul fears that the agenda behind the Flight 253 bombing incident is to expand the war on terror into Yemen while stripping Americans of more liberties, warning that it's time people woke up and realized that the government cannot guarantee their safety.
The Congressman highlighted how the bombing attempt followed geopolitical turmoil in Yemen in the form of attacks in the country launched by the Saudis with the endorsement of the U.S. – and how sectors of the media and politicians were now calling for Yemen to be a new front in the war on terror as a consequence of the Christmas Day incident.
"It seems ironic that there is so much excitement about this and now talk about attacking Yemen," said Paul, adding that it was the United States' presence in Yemen that represented a threat to America, not the purported presence of Al-Qaeda members in Yemen.
Two days after the incident, influential neo-lib Joe Lieberman cited the attempted plane bombing in calling for Yemen to be the next target of the military-industrial complex after Afghanistan, claiming the plot had links back to the Middle Eastern nation.
Paul raised the question of how a $75 billion dollar a year intelligence gathering structure failed to stop a dangerous man who had no passport and was on a terror watch list from boarding a plane.
A d v e r t i s e m e n t
"It really scares me because we do so much already – we spend $75 billion dollars on intelligence gathering in this country in order to protect us and make us safe, so with $75 billion dollars we weren't able to detect this individual where there's a glaring warning sign," said Paul, citing the fact that the bomber's father tried to warn the U.S. that his son was a threat a month ago.
Paul labeled the nature of the incident, "Either awful stupidity or there must be an agenda….I am concerned what they are going to do to the American people," citing how the 9/11 hijackers were also known to the authorities, who were warned that they were only training to learn how to fly a plane and not how to land, but that nothing was ever done about it.
Paul said the people punished for the incident would not be those who failed to stop the terrorist, but the American people.
"They'll add some more security on to us – first they make us take off our shoes and then our belts and then small bottles of water and put our computers in a tray and on and on so something else is going to happen, they won't let us get out of our seats or look at our bags….thinking that's going to make us a lot safer," said Paul, adding that security should be managed by airline companies and not the government.
"The bigger the problem and the more the fear is built up, the more they take away our personal liberties and turn us all into zombies and the American people go along with it and say as long as it makes us safer I guess it's OK to go along but it's time the American people woke up and started realizing that there's a bit of propaganda going on and quite possibly this incident will not only undermine our personal liberties but will also accelerate our intervention and the violence occurring in the Middle East," concluded the Congressman.

Ron Paul appeared on Larry King Live on CNN this evening along with Ben Stein and Sheila Jackson Lee to discuss the recent thwarted terrorist attack. After Paul gives his now famous view that they "attack us because we are over there" Ben Stein calls Paul antisemitic which solicits a demand for an apology by Paul. Paul characterizes it as a "vicious attack".
Stein's reaction is quite reminiscent of Rudy Giuliani's reaction during that first debate back in 2007.
The two continue arguing over one another for nearly the rest of the entire segment. King ends by saying they will all be back for tomorrow evening's show.

Pro-Life Apologetics
"Abortion helps solve the problem of overpopulation and raises the quality of life."
The "Quality of life"concept is breeding a sense of human expendability that has far-reaching social implications.
"Quality of life" is a euphemism when applied to those not allowed to live. There is no quality of life for those whose lives are taken. For those allowed to live, life can only become more precarious. Variables such as age,health, or handicap may take one out of the position of priviledge, making him a potential victim of others' quality of life. As Mother Teresa has said, "If a mother can take her child in the womb, what is to stop me from taking you and you taking from me?"
The slippery slope starts with the concept that some lives have more quality than others. Historically, this has always slid society into further human exploitation. Dr. Leo Alexander was a consultant to the secretary of war at the Nuremberg Trials. Writing in the New England Journal of Medicine, he points out that the holocaust began with subtle shift in medical ethics:
Whatever proportions these crimes finally assumed,it became evident to all who investigated them that they had started from small beginnings. The beginnings at first were merely a subtle shift in emphasis in the basic attitude of physicians. It started with the acceptance of the attitude...that there is such a thing as life not worthy to be lived. This attitude in its early stages concerned itself merely with the severely and chronically sick.
Gradually the sphere of those to be included in this category was enlarged to encompass the socially unproductive, the ideologically unwanted, the racially unwanted and finally all non-Germans.

Steven Ertelt from LifeNews.com on December 24, 2009 wrote how the Senate passes the health care bill and it funds abortion and mandates insurance coverage. Steven believes that the bill opens the door for the Obama administration to force insurance companies to pay for abortion and for rationing. Now, the 2 chambers of Congress have approved very different legislation. The conference committee is coming up to work out the differences on a host of political issues relating to the bill including abortion. Charmaine Yoest is the President of Americans United for Life. She said that she is disappointed about these events to Lifenews.com: "...Americans don't want taxpayer funding for abortions and are opposed to a first-ever, mandatory abortion tax. Knowing this, the bill's proponents have rushed it through the Senate at a time when Americans are focused on celebrating Christmas with their families," she said. She said that Americans don't want taxpayer funding for abortions including a mandatory abortion tax (she said that the Senate rushed passage of the bill in the early Winter season). The Senate approved the bill in the vote of 60 to 39 among mostly Democratic support. President Barack Obama supported the Senate vote and once said that he would not have abortion funding in the health care legislation. Republicans want to still fight the bill as the process moves forward. "This fight isn't over. My colleagues and I will work to stop this bill from becoming law. That's the clear will of the American people — and we're going to continue to fight on their behalf," Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said. Also, Sens. Joe Lieberman and Ben Nelson -- two of the final lawmakers to support the bill -- said after the vote that their vote on the conference committee measure is not guaranteed. There are other issues in the bill from abortion, the public option, and illegal immigration. There are Democratic who want the Stupak amendment, some that want the House bill remain, those Democrats who hate the pro-abortion compromise language in the Seante, and the House advocates who want the Stupak amendment removed (they want even killing the Senate bill since it's not pro-abortion enough in their minds). Senator Ben Nelson supported the Senate version of the bill. Some support the House bill that blocks some taxpayer funding of abortions (not it completely). The group said the abortion language in the bill -- added in the manager's amendment -- "is light years removed from the Stupak-Pitts Amendment that was approved by the House of Representatives on November 7 by a bipartisan vote of 240-194." The new abortion language don't solve the abortion issue. The federal government in the Senate can fund abortions in private health plans and otherv means. This even violates the Hyde Amendment, which the Senate bill require the federal government to pay premiums for private health plans that will cover any or all abortions. Abortion advocates and Nelson claim the language in the manager's amendment erects a so-called "firewall" between federal funds and private funds, but NRLC explains that this is "merely a bookkeeping gimmick "inconsistent with the long-established principles that govern existing federal health programs, such as the Hyde Amendment." The firewall also exists only so long as the annual appropriations bill for the Department of Health and Human Services continues to contain the Hyde Amendment -- thus, if Congress or the president blocks renewal of it then "the Reid bookkeeping requirements would automatically evaporate, and insurers could pay for elective abortions with the federal subsidies without even bookkeeping requirements." The Stupak-Pitts Amendment according to Steven would ban federal subsidies from paying any part of the premium of a plan that covers elective abortions. The main section of the amendment that Nelson touted as the reason for his support for the manager's amendment is the opt-out clause that allows states to opt out of funding abortions under the health care bill. NRLC is also disappointed that the conscience protections for pro-life medical workers found in the House-passed bill under the Stupak amendment are not found in the Senate bill or the manager's amendment. Finally, the manager's amendment does not contain any provisions to fix the rationing and assisted suicide promotion issues in the bill.
Pollution is a real problem in the world. It's been found that 16 ships expel as much pollution as all of the cars in the world. Large shipping vessels have become commonplace in today's global marketplace as goods are imported and exported across the world. Whilte the high levels of pollution they create are something that most people don't think too much about, some scientists are beginning to evaluate their environmental effect. One of the wild facts is that giants ships in 16 in number emit as much sulfur as do all the cars in the world combined. Fred Pearce is a science writer and an environmental consultant for New Scientist. Fred has been studying the shipping industry for quite some time. He has foucsed on on the ship's use of the toxic fuel polluting the air in a staggering pace. According to Pearce, thousands of people die every year from the toxic fumes that are emitted from their smokestacks. They linger in the air as brown haze for many days. If current practices continue, he estimates that upwards of a million people will die in the next decade due to ship pollution. This fuel is found in large ocean craft. It's composed of dirty leftovers from refined fuel that is used in cars, trucks, and other land vehicles. IT is thicker than land fuel and high in sulftur. This cheap, filtry fuel is never utilized in the mainland, but it's more tolerated on international waters. The chemicals found in smoke trials of this "bunker fuel" are known to cause severe inflammation, cancer, breathing problems, and heart disease. The sheer size of these ships is astounding, measuring a quarter of a mile long on average. Each one holds approximately 14,000 full size shipping containers, typically carrying goods from Asia to Europe and North America. There are over 100,000 ships and counting on the seas today. The reason why reckless ship pollution is allowed to continue to due to the IMO (International Maritime Organization)'s policy that permits bunker fuel containing up to 4.5 percent sulfur to be used in international waters. That number is 4,500 times higher than the sulfur amount permitted in vehicle fuel in the European Union. The IMO has reluctantly agreed wot reduce the sulfur limit to 3.5 percent by 2012 and by 0.5 eventually. The largest barrier to have stricter pollution guideline is the increased cost of cleaner fuel. Bunker fuel is inepxensive and plentiful, which allows shippers to make use of the leftover byproducts of clean fuel production. So, pollution is wrong and should be opposed.
Religious History is something to learn. Christianity in Britain existed for a long time. Christians spread as far as Britain as early as the 2nd century A.D. It was about A.D. 200 that Tertullian wrote thus: "Parts of Britain were inaccessible to the Romans but have yielded to Christ." Christianity spread fast from Israel into Alexandria, Greece, Asi, North Africa, Gaul, and England. Christians in the UK converted the Druids. The Druids were pagans worshipping idols and Nature with human sacrifices even. Diocletian had his savage Christian persecution in the 3rd century A.D. Some martyrs under the region of Emperor Diocletian include At. Albans, Aaron, and Julius of Caerloen. Later, apostate Christianity from Rome came into the UK by the 500's A.D. in a serious level. In the Middle Ages, Christians believed in God and faced persecuted by the Roman Catholic Church. The UK was the base of the Textus Receptus English translation of the Holy Bible from the Tyndale Bible to the King James Version of the Bible in 1611. Even bloody Mary murdered numerous Christians because they rejected transubtantiaton and other false doctrine. The Protestant Reformation certainly made great contributions in our society, yet even all of the Protestants weren't perfect. I don't believe in one extreme saying that all of the Protestants were influenced by the Rosicurians (having little benefit for the human race) or the other extreme saying that the Protestants were all loving and all tolerant of differing religious points of view. The truth is in between those 2 extremes. You have to acknowledge much of the political and religious liberty we enjoy in America proceeded in great measure from the Reformation.
Canada and China have developments going on. The Canadian pastor named Stephen Boissoin has been cleared of hate crimes against homosexuals. He experienced 7 years of harassment, because of his views. He was harassed by the Human Rights Commission of Alberta when he threaten and assault no one. He wrote literature disagreeing with the lifestyle of homosexuality, which is part of the freedom of speech. This appeared in a letter to the editor that was published in the Red Deer Advocate on June 17, 2002. Boissoin rightly lamented that "children as young as five and six years of age are being subjected to psychologically and physiologically damaging pro-homosexual literature and guidance in the public school system; all under the fraudulent guise of equal rights." Darren Lund filed a civil rights complaint against Stephen. Boissoin was threaten with a large fine, but he fought it in risk of prison time given unto him. The Alberta Human Rights Tribunal found Boissoin guilty of hate crimes. It banned him from expressing his views on homosexuality "in newspapers, by e-mail, on the radio, in public speeches, or on the Internet," ordered him to pay $7,000 for "damages for pain and suffering," and demanded that he apologize to Lund. We are pleased that Justice Earl Wilson has overturned this totalitarian-style ruling, having determined that Boissoin's letter does not constitute a hate crime. He also said that Lori Andreachuk, the civil rights lawyer that issued the ruling under the auspices of the Human Rights Tribunal, made many errors in her decision and had no power to impose a speech ban on Mr. Boissoin. China is still crushing large independent house churches. The Golden Lamp Church of Linfen in China was assaulted by Chinese police and hired thugs. This church serve almost 50,000 worshippers, but the police seized Bibles, smashed windows, and send many worshippers into the hospitals. Some of them has serious injuries according to members and activists. The church's co-pastors are in jail. The church is located in the province of Shanxi. This crackdown of Christianity in China is according to church leaders the harshest in years. Christianity in China growing in my opinion is one of the signs of the last days. House churches have grown in decades, yet China bans religious expressed except if it's approved by the state government. 2 other large churches have faced crackdowns too. In Beijing in October, authorities locked parishioners of Shouwang house church out of the space they had rented to worship in. In Shanghai, the Wangbang congregation faced a similar lockout. Both congregations had grown to more than 1,000 members. So, religious liberty should exist in China. We in the West should have real religious liberty too since our religious liberty rights have been violated for years as well.

Zimmerman Trial Jury Selection Moves to Round 2
ABC News' Elicia Dover, Matt Gutman and Seni Tienabeso report:
The jury selection process in the George Zimmerman murder trial will move on to round two on Wednesday, as the prosecution and defense look to whittle down a pool of potential jurors into a final list of jurors and alternates.
A jury is expected to be seated as early as Wednesday, but the process could go through Thursday.
The prosecution and the defense team today agreed on a pool of 40 potential jurors that included 16 men and 24 women. It took both sides seven days to collect 40 potential jurors fit to move on to the next round called regular voir dire.
On Wednesday, 30 of the 40 potential jurors will be brought into the courtroom and further questioned as a group on their beliefs and biases.
George Zimmerman was not screaming for help, two experts testify. Read the full story here.
In February 2012, Zimmerman, a neighborhood watchman in Sanford, Fla., shot and killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin after a confrontation in the dark. Zimmerman has cited self-defense as his reason for shooting the black teen, who he said had been acting "suspiciously."
Full Coverage of the George Zimmerman Trial
During Wednesday's process, both the prosecution and the defense will have 10 strikes, meaning they can excuse as many as 10 jurors without an explanation. Until this point, the jurors were only excused "for cause," meaning they were too closely related to the case or knew too much.
The counsels must agree upon a final six jurors and four alternates who will be sequestered for the duration of the trial. For now, Judge Debra Nelson has ruled the names of the jurors will be kept secret.
Trayvon Martin drug photos can't be mentioned, says judge. Read the full story here.
Of the 40 potential jurors, many are white and female. In the racial breakdown of the jury pool, there are 28 white potential jurors, 19 of them female and nine male. There are only six black potential jurors, three male and three female. There are four Hispanic potential jurors and two who identified as mixed-race.

Sarah Benton greets guests at the Topsail Skating Rink as if she were a rink employee. Before their skates are laced, she enthusiastically tells them about the snacks, about the grooves in the hardwood and about Elimination, the dice game that rewards winners with a free pass.
Sarah Benton greets guests at the Topsail Skating Rink as if she were a rink employee. Before their skates are laced, she enthusiastically tells them about the snacks, about the grooves in the hardwood and about Elimination, the dice game that rewards winners with a free pass.
On a mid-May weekend in Topsail Beach, the spunky 10-year-old from Ivanhoe is the first customer, and she�s eager to share one of her favorite places with anyone who walks through the door.
The Topsail Skating Rink has that effect on people, and it has for 50 years. Sarah is too young to appreciate the value of nostalgia; she just wants to have fun.
But for visitors of a certain age, the rink takes them back to family vacations in simpler times.
The skating rink and Topsail Beach�s post office have the same phone number � a throwback to the party line days when neighbors shared a phone line. It�s a scene straight from the 1960s, when phones were used for talking and not tweeting or taking photos.
Everything about the Topsail Skating Rink resonates with nostalgic charm. From the old-school roller skates to the box fans in the windows, it�s not hard to imagine what life was like in the 1960s. Really, you don�t have to imagine at all.
Nothing has changed.
Not even the cash register. It has white keys with numbers from 10 to 90 and black keys with symbols from $1 to $5.
Proprietor Doris Jenkins punches the $5 key whenever she collects an admission fee.
She tried a more modern cash register once, but the humidity short-circuited it, she said.
Perhaps the most revered treasure in the rink is Jenkins� record player. She piles stacks of 45s and spins classic tunes, mostly from the �50s, �60s and �70s.
Sometimes, she�ll turn on the disco lights for a boogie song. And that�s about as racy as it gets.
For the kids
Jenkins watches out for the kids. She won�t let them leave until she knows a parent is there to pick them up.
"If the parents say, �Don�t let them leave the building,� I don�t let them leave the building," Jenkins said.
Sarah respectfully refers to the owner as Miss Doris, and Jenkins serves as her personal banker, keeping Sarah�s cash behind the counter and transferring it dollar by dollar to the cash register as Sarah buys gum and snacks.
Amanda Benton, Sarah�s mom, said all three of her daughters have skated circles around the Topsail Skating Rink.
"I feel like Miss Doris is family," Benton said. "I feel like the kids are safe there."
Jenkins took over as the town�s postmaster in 1962, and her husband, Sonny, built the post office and skating rink the next year.
For years, they ran the rink together, but Alzheimer�s disease has clouded Sonny�s mind, and he doesn�t come to the rink any more.
Now, it�s just Miss Doris. And if you�ve ever seen her carrying crates of mail for the post office, you know that she can handle a few kids on skates.
Jean Beasley brought her children to the Topsail Skating Rink decades ago, and she has the utmost respect for Miss Doris.
"She is quite a lady. I love Doris. She�s a great person," Beasley said. "She still runs post office, too � with an iron hand."
Beasley chuckled a bit when she said that last phrase. But there�s certainly some truth to it.
Jenkins is unquestionably tough. She runs the post office during the day and the skating rink at night. So, when does she rest?
"Between midnight and daybreak," she said.
At 75, she still skates with the kids.
Last week, she fell on the hardwood. She bounced back up, albeit with a red spot on her wrist.
"If you fall, you fall," she said. "Then you get up and go around again. I take about one spill a year. That�s all I can afford."
The future
Jenkins has seen profiles in Rink magazine of skaters in their 90s. She hopes to do better than that.
"I want to be skating when I�m 100," she said.
She does realize that at some point she won�t be able to run the rink by herself. She has two nephews who help her on occasion and they are poised to take over when that day comes.
Then, and only then, the Topsail Skating Rink might get air conditioning.
"As long as I own it, there won�t be air conditioning," Jenkins said.
"That�s the beauty of coming to the beach."

Tocqueville Gold Goes Global
The fund loads up on small and midsize mining companies.
We've never met a gold-fund manager who wasn't bullish on the metal. John Hathaway, manager of Tocqueville Gold Fund (symbol TGLDX), is no different. Despite gold's breathtaking ascent -- over the past five years through November 3, it soared from $456 an ounce to $1,356 -- Hathaway sees more gains ahead because of low interest rates and huge budget deficits in the developed world. He expects that current government and central-bank policies will cause all paper currencies, including the dollar, to lose value in coming years -- a development that would also bode well for gold. In addition, central banks are buying gold, boosting demand for the metal and therefore its price.
Hathaway's bullishness aside, he and his fund have been sparkling of late. For the past 12 months that ended November 3, Tocqueville returned 57.0%. That beat Standard & Poor's 500-stock index by a whopping 40.1 percentage points and the average precious-metal fund by 20.8 points. The fund's three-year annualized return of 16.2% beats the S&P 500 by an average of 21.5 points per year and the average precious-metal fund by 8.1 points a year.
Like most gold-fund managers, Hathaway invests mainly in mining stocks. At last word, his fund had 8% of assets in miners, 9% in bullion and the rest in cash and other precious metals. Nearly 70% of those miners are outside the U.S. Most are in Canada, but the fund also holds firms based in such exotic locales as Burkina Faso and Mali.
Hathaway says he thinks gold stocks are cheap relative to the metal and that it will take two to three years for them to become fairly valued. He says that mining companies can grow by boosting their output, while gold itself increases in value only if its price rises. Moreover, mining stocks, unlike the metal, are capable of paying dividends -- especially now that industry profits are booming.
Tocqueville has trounced its rivals, says Hathaway, by loading up with stocks of small and midsize miners. Smaller firms can grow faster than larger ones and are more likely to be acquired. Hathaway says he and his three analysts travel extensively around the world to discover promising mining companies before others do.
Although everyone, it seems, is bullish on gold nowadays, don't invest in any gold fund without being aware of the risks. Mining stocks are far more volatile than the price of gold itself. (That's not surprising, given that miners' profits move up and down far more sharply than the metal's price.) And Tocqueville Gold is twice as volatile as Standard & Poor's 500-stock index. From 1990 through 1998, a rough period for gold, the average gold fund lost 40%. (Tocqueville launched in 1998.)

RSNA 2011: Ziehm Imaging Presents Innovative Mobile C-Arms for Virtually Unlimited Imaging
Benchmarking imaging with mobile C-arms in the OR
Nov 25, 2011, 10:00 ET
CHICAGO, Nov. 25, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Ziehm Imaging, leading developer, manufacturer and supplier of mobile C-arms, presents its innovative, award-winning product portfolio at RSNA 2011. Latest market analyst reports (GIA[1]) predict substantial growth for the fluoroscopy and mobile C-arm market segments that will be substantially driven by the growing number of minimally invasive procedures. By 2017, the market might reach a volume of 1.4 billion US$. With long-year experience in the mobile C-arm business and a broad product portfolio, Ziehm Imaging is ideally positioned to benefit from this growth potential. "One of our highlights at this year's RSNA is Ziehm Vision RFD hybrid edition that opens up hybrid room applications for physicians working in interdisciplinary environments," says Nelson Mendes, President & CEO Ziehm Imaging Inc. The innovative mobile C-arm offers a cost-efficient alternative solution to fixed installed systems without reducing the imaging capabilities.
Ziehm Vision RFD hybrid edition: high-quality images for complex interventions
The hybrid edition features the innovative flat-panel technology and delivers high-resolution images with over 16,000 shades of gray and a resolution of 1.5k x 1.5k pixels. The detector is not affected by magnetic fields making it ideal for interventional radiologic procedures; it delivers distortion-free, high-resolution images even when close to MR scanners. The squared display format creates a significantly larger visible area with up to 60 percent more information per X-ray than conventional image intensifiers.
"The image quality is comparable to many fixed imaging systems. Very often, I forget that I am using a mobile system," says Grayson H. Wheatley III, MD from Arizona Heart Institute. "I perform percutaneous or catheter-based interventions, on complex aortic problems, such as aortic aneurysms. One of the more innovative procedures I perform are called 'hybrid' procedures and combine the advantages of traditional open surgery with image-guided, catheter-based interventions."
The Ziehm Vision RFD is exactly tailored to hybrid OR use criteria. With up to 25 images per second, its powerful monoblock generator also produces high-quality X-rays of moving objects such as beating hearts. The C-arm features a user-friendly touchscreen interface that is mounted to the sterile OR table, an injector interface that synchronizes contrast media with the imaging process, and an interface for external displays. The large C-arm opening enables easier positioning and patient access during the intervention.
New vascular surgery workflow
This next-generation C-arm also comes with the new software SmartVascular, which enables surgeons to create a digital subtraction angiography at any time without having to use the touchscreen. It automates all process steps from DSA to roadmapping, allowing vascular procedures to be planned with minimum amounts of contrast media and shorter fluoroscopy times.
Unlimited performance for every budget
The powerful 20 kW monoblock generator with a liquid cooling system that enables almost unlimited fluoroscopy time is now also available for the Ziehm Vision R. This innovative technology allows for completely new imaging possibilities for mobile C-arms with image intensifier in vascular surgery. With its rotating anode, the generator uses a variable pulse width of 4 and 50 ms to produce crystal-clear images. Up to 25 frames per second enable high-quality X-rays of vascular structures with optimum contrast. The Advanced Active Cooling system keeps the operating temperature steady, prevents the system from overheating and ensures uninterrupted imaging. Grayson H. Wheatley III, MD from Arizona Heart Institute confirms that "the C-arm is often used for long and complex cases in the OR which can take hours to complete. The Ziehm Imaging system holds up quite well and has never shut down due to inadequate heat management. This is critical since the last thing we want to worry about when treating a patient is the C-arm shutting down because of overheating."

To further the goal of elevating the Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry's global profile, University of the Pacific encourages the dental school to play a central role in the university-wide initiative to launch a Global Project for Professional Development. The Dugoni School is well positioned to respond to this challenge by sharing its considerable repository of knowledge and experience with others, thereby benefiting from the pooled intellectual resources and collective wisdom of partner dental schools and educators across the globe. Consistent with the Dugoni School's Strategic Plan, the proposed initiative will elevate education and health care standards to the mutual benefit of patients, students, staff, and faculty, and offer a new international dimension to an exceptional dental school.
Today, commercial companies, academic institutions, and individuals must collaborate and compete on a global basis. Dental education, research, and the growing body of knowledge in the biomedical sciences are highly valued international commodities. In countries that are becoming more prosperous, such as China, Brazil, India, and Russia, there is burgeoning consumer demand for more education, oral health care, and increasingly sophisticated treatments. Leaders in dental education face new challenges in a competitive global community. Development and discovery in the biomedical, biotechnical, and psychosocial sciences continue at an explosive pace. This is combined with advances in communication technology.
These changes demand increasingly sophisticated approaches to knowledge acquisition, prioritization, and retrieval, and present new opportunities for professional educational institutions. Because the University of the Pacific is strategically positioned in the Pacific Rim, a geographic region inhabited by more than 3.5 billion people, there is significant potential for new initiatives, growth, and development and, specifically, targeting China.
Less than 5% of the world's population has access to basic or primary dental care. Even in the most developed countries there are high levels of unmet need for oral care. Poverty and inequality are the two most important causes of human suffering worldwide. Each week 210,000 children die as a result of starvation. Those living in the most impoverished regions are generally the most vulnerable to global challenges such as climate change and pandemics including HIV/AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis. Furthermore, impoverished regions are often the most unstable geopolitical regions of the world, where human rights fall victim to conflict and abuse of power. Health was defined as a fundamental human right by Eleanor Roosevelt as part of the 1948 United Nations Charter on Human Rights. Oral health is an integral part of general health and well-being. To help ensure access to health care for all, the dental profession needs to engage more in reaching out to those most in need. The Dugoni School can play an important leadership role in articulating its own stated values of humanism, innovation, leadership, reflection, stewardship, collaboration, and philanthropy on a global platform in partnership with others around the world.
The Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry is already engaged in several international initiatives such as its strong International Dental Students program for those seeking to practice in the United States. The school has and continues to develop links and exchange programs with schools in the Middle East, Japan, China and other regions of the world.
The global education unit will be distinctive and intellectually stimulating, drawing upon study, research, and innovation at the School. Working with partner organizations, faculty will exchange expertise and case studies on the core attributes, requirements, and characteristics of effective leaders in dental education. The unit will develop a repository of knowledge and experience for an international audience. The unit will disseminate peer-reviewed, high-quality educational programs through the International Federation of Dental Educators and Associations (IFDEA). These activities will serve to further elevate the international standing of the Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry and the University of the Pacific.
To create a center of excellence that will be recognized as the premier unit in the Pacific Rim for developing professional dental educators and leaders.
To educate future leaders in dental education so they can lead in an effective manner in promoting and advocating the highest professional standards and humanistic values.
