                Consultation – Animal Management (Cats and Dogs) Bill 2008

Purpose The purpose of this Bulletin is to inform local governments that the deadline for receipt of submissions commenting on the Animal Management (Cats and Dogs) Bill 2008 has been extended to Friday 3 October 2008.

Background On 8 June 2008, the Premier announced that legislation would be introduced by the end of the year to make cat and dog registration and micro-chipping compulsory in all parts of the State. The commencement of the microchipping and registration provisions will begin with the larger South East Queensland Councils and roll out progressively across the State. The purpose of the legislation is to provide a legislative framework to implement the Government’s animal management polices, and in particular reduce high euthanasia rates of unwanted cats and dogs. Regulated dog (proposed to include dangerous, menacing and restricted dogs) provisions will apply to all local government areas upon the expected commencement date of 1 July 2009.

Letter to the Editors
Gold Coast Sun - Gold Coast Bulletin - Courier Mail
 
Dear Sir,
 
Our premier has repeatedly ignored the calls of the people to reverse the decision to add fluoride to our drinking water. She  cites that there is no good science to say that fluoride is dangerous to our health.
 
The attachment with this letter provides proof from reputable scientific testing that fluoride is a health hazard,beyond any doubt.
Please print the following link so that people can access this scientic proof for themselves.
 
 
The example contained in my letter is very pertinent as the type of fluoride referred to is exactly what we will be forced to drink if the premier does not reverse the decision to add fluoride to our drinking water.The test done on 280,000 children show lead levels  way beyond the allowed levels for children.
 
  
Dear Premier Bligh
 
You have stated many times that there is no scientific proof regarding the health hazards created by fluoride - S7 poison - industrial waste from the phosphate fertilizer industry.
 
This is the type of scientific research available to you, if you choose to review it -

Water Treatment with Silicofluorides and Lead Toxicity

Department of Government, Dartmouth College and Gruter Institute for Law and Behavioral Research, H.B. 6222, Hanover, NH 03755 (USA); Intellequity, 38 Silver Hill, 8 Natick, MA 01760 (USA
 
 We report here on an additional "risk co-factor" making lead and other toxic metals in the environment more dangerous to local residents: the use of silicofluorides as agents in water treatment. The two chemicals in question - fluosilicic acid and sodium silicofluoride - are toxins that, despite claims to the contrary, do not dissociate completely and change water chemistry when used under normal water treatment practices. As a result, water treatment with silicofluorides apparently functions to increase the cellular uptake of lead. Data from lead screening of over 280,000 children in Massachusetts indicates that silicofluoride usage is associated with significant increases in average lead in children's blood as well as percentage of children with blood lead in excess of 10 ug/dL.
 
Please study the attached "SCIENTIFIC PROOF" and then, show you are the "courageous lover of the people "you purport to be and reverse the decision to forcibly add fluoride into our drinking water.

 Parsons Brinckerhoff Pushes For Nuclear Reactors in Australia

 Parsons Brinckerhoff   -  It took over a decade, but people across the country are finally beginning to figure out how the light rail scam works. Consultants who stand to profit from building rail lines quote ridiculously low cost estimates, then later the cost triples, quadruples or worse. Politicians feign shock and the companies laugh all the way to the bank. Parsons Transportation Group, the same company that designed our rail line, tried this scam most recently in Southern Nevada, but this time, it didn't go so well. In December, Parsons attempted to convince taxpayers that a 33-mile line that would connect Henderson and North Las Vegas would cost a mere $713 million, or $22 million a mile. That didn't jibe with what citizens were reading on the Web, and they questioned the costs. Rather than act as a mindless cheerleader for rail, like the media in most cities, the Las Vegas Review-Journal took a good look at the estimate, calling it "absurdly low" when compared to actual costs in other cities -- which run as high as $80 million a mile. Parsons quickly revised its projections upward by $400 million in response and was eventually forced to admit that with inflation factored in -- these consultants often "forget" to factor in inflation -- the real cost would be between $2 billion and $3 billion. (Parsons Brinckerhoff Quade & Douglas, an unrelated company that did the estimates for our mass transit project, conveniently "forgot" to figure in inflation, too.) Within a month, the Vegas light rail plan was dead. Read Article  http://charlotte.creativeloafing.com/gyrobase/Content?oid=oid%3A74392

 IMF to Conduct "X-Ray of the

 Entire U.S. Financial System"

Officials with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) have informed Bernanke about a plan that would have been unheard-of in the past: a general examination of the US financial system. The IMF's board of directors has ruled that a so-called Financial Sector Assessment Program (FSAP) is to be carried out in the United States. It is nothing less than an X-ray of the entire US financial system.

As part of the assessment, the Fed, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the major investment banks, mortgage banks and hedge funds will be asked to hand over confidential documents to the IMF team. They will be required to answer the questions they are asked during interviews. Their databases will be subjected to so-called stress tests — worst-case scenarios designed to simulate the broader effects of failures of other major financial institutions or a continuing decline of the dollar.

Under its bylaws, the IMF is charged with the supervision of the international monetary system. Roughly two-thirds of IMF members — but never the United States — have already endured this painful procedure.

For seven years, US President George W. Bush refused to allow the IMF to conduct its assessment. Even now, he has only given the IMF board his consent under one important condition. The review can begin in Bush's last year in office, but it may not be completed until he has left the White House. This is bad news for the Fed chairman.

When the final report on the risks of the US financial system is released in 2010 — and it is likely to cause a stir internationally — only one of the people in positions of responsibility today will still be in office: Ben Bernanke.

The Big issue here is: What percentage of the Bank and Federal Reserve ledger entries on their books are instruments that upon scrutiny have virtually no value and were created only to establish an inflated balance sheet and allow the writer to walk with massive amounts of money?

If you have a hundred billion dollars in instruments that were acquired and it is determined that they have virtually a zero value, who walked with the hundred billion dollar "sale"??

If this type of audit shows a large percentage of these types of instruments found across the broad spectrum, keep your powder dry because it is not going to be pretty! The earliest findings could be finalized and then released 9 to 20 months down the road.

In financial and political terms, this IMF audit of the US is very big news. The most important news issue released in the last eigt years due to the implications that could be uncovered.

      Khalil Regrets Toppling Statue of Saddam

Date: Fri, 11 Apr 2008 17:50:50 -0400 (EDT)
From: IHR News <news@ihr.org
mailto:news@ihr.org >
Agence France Presse
 
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article19701.htm
          

09/04/08 "AFP" -- - Baghdad - Ibrahim Khalil, who five years ago took part in the iconic toppling of a giant statue of Saddam Hussein in central Baghdad, said on Wednesday he now regrets taking part in the hugely symbolic event.

 

"If history can take me back, I will kiss the statue of Saddam Hussein which I helped pull down," Khalil told reporters on the fifth anniversary of the statue's toppling.

 

"I will protect the statue more than my own self," Khalil said in Firdoos Square alongside a monument erected where Saddam's statue once stood before US marines and Iraqis strung a chain around its neck and brought it crashing down.

 

The action marked the end of Saddam's iron-fisted regime and served as a premonition of the dictator's own end on December 30, 2006, when he was hanged in Baghdad for crimes against humanity.

 

Khalil, dressed in a blue T-shirt and grey trousers, said he is now sorry he was one of the dozens of jubilant Iraqis who pulled down the statue and cheered the end of Saddam's rule.

 

"All my friends who were with me that day feel the same as me," Khalil told reporters in Firdoos Square, which was virtually deserted on Wednesday amid a vehicle ban in the capital imposed by the government to prevent insurgent attack.

 

Describing the events five years ago, Khalil said crowds of people had gathered at the square when the invading US marines arrived.

 

"A few of us managed to climb up to the statue which had been placed on a tall concrete structure. The soldiers gave us a long rope which we put around the neck and started pulling," said Khalil, a stocky 45-year-old.

 

"But the rope broke. Then the soldiers gave us a steel chain, which my brother Kadhim put around the neck. The (US) tanks then started to pull the chain and soon the head was chopped off and the statue came tumbling down."

 

He said the cheering crowd and some marines pounced on the concrete structure "immediately".

"We hit the face of the statue with our shoes," he said, referring to an

action considered the ultimate insult in Arab culture.

 

"It was a historic moment. I felt like I was born again. Most Iraqis felt happy as they all were affected by Saddam's regime."

 

But five years on, Khalil says the jubilation has long since vanished and that the situation in the country has vastly deteriorated.

 

Iraqi forces are still battling bloodshed that has killed tens of thousands of people and displaced millions of others.

 

The International Committee of the Red Cross says the plight of millions of Iraqis who still have little or no access to clean water, sanitation or health care is the "most critical in the world".

 

The economy, the main concern of Iraqis after security, is also a wreck.

 

"Now I realise that the day Baghdad fell was in fact a black day.

 

Saddam's days were better," said Khalil, who along with his brother runs a car repair shop.

"I ask Bush: 'Where are your promises of making Iraq a better country?'

 

"These days when we go out we have to carry a pistol. In Saddam's regime, we were safe. We got rid of one Saddam, but today we have 50 Saddams."   ==  End of Forwarded Message

GLOBALIZATION

 Canada

Globalization is Killing  Canada:

Fight for Your Freedom

     by Paul Hellyer  

 Is Canada worth saving? Is democracy worth saving? These  are the two fundamental questions we must address now - before it is too  late. Canadian values are disappearing rapidly  as we lose our independence and our sovereignty. The  country is being dismantled after more than a century of nation building.  We are losing control of our most important industries. As we give up domestic ownership of our assets,  we lose the most exciting and challenging jobs, which too  often move to the new corporate headquarters outside Canada - and young  people who want those jobs must follow. It's part of the brain drain. In  effect, Canada has become a victim of "Globalization". We are told this  process is both inevitable and good. It is only inevitable if we let it  happen. It is only good for two to five percent of the world's richest and  most powerful people. It is bad for the vast  majority.

 

 I should make a distinction between those areas where  global cooperation is both good and essential, and those areas where it is  harmful. We must cooperate globally to protect our oceans, the ozone layer  and prevent Global Warming. International cooperation is also required to  protect endangered species, fight international crime and in other areas  of mutual concern. What we have to stop is the  relentless drive on the part of multinational corporations and  international banks - centred largely in the five big  powers - to take over governance of the world for their own benefit.

 

The Canada - U.S. Free Trade Agreement

 

The "Globalization" process got a rocket-assisted boost  with the Canada-U.S. Free Trade Agreement (FTA). Canadians were led to  believe that this was a trade agreement. When I read it, I found, to my  dismay, that it was primarily an investment agreement. Sure it called for  reductions in tariffs, but this was already happening under the General  Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT). The most important parts of the FTA  were about investment. The Americans wanted our industries and resources -  especially energy and water. They also wanted our land. Instead of Canada  being open for business again, as Prime Minister Brian Mulroney proudly  boasted, it was up for  sale.

 

Mr. Mulroney allowed the Americans to insert a "national  treatment" clause which was a new concept in international law that gave  U.S. investors the same rights in Canada as Canadian citizens. I think  this is wrong in principle! Where is the value of citizenship if foreign  investors have the same rights? In fact, the  "national treatment" clause gave American investors the right to invest in  Canada without conditions and without limits. We can no  longer say "You can't buy more than 50% of our forest industry or oil and  gas reserves" - because the treaty says they can own all our reserves. The  same rule applies to our best farmland. With the FTA, Brian Mulroney  accomplished two things: He virtually guaranteed the  demise of Canada as a nation state, and he allowed the conquest of Canada  by America. The conquest  is still tentative, perhaps, for about two more years. Then we will reach  the point of no return after which annexation by the United States will  become inevitable. I am concerned that several hundred years of experiment  in popular democracy is coming to an end because globalization is really a  code word for corporate rule and colonization.



NAFTA - Canada is being sued

 

When we signed the North  American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), we granted U.S. and Mexican  investors greater rights in Canada than Canadian citizens enjoy. Chapter  11, the disputes settlement chapter, allows foreign investors to sue if  our governments - federal, provincial or municipal - pass any law or  regulation that affect their corporate profits or potential  profits.

 

And we are being sued. The first suit was the  celebrated Ethyl case. When the Canadian parliament passed a law  prohibiting the importation and distribution of MMT, a manganese-based  gasoline additive in Canada, the U.S. Ethyl Corporation sued the  government of Canada. The government settled out of court for $20 million  in legal costs and agreed to repeal the law. So who is running Canada when  a foreign corporation can dictate to the Canadian parliament? Equally bad,  the settlement agreement required two Canadian cabinet ministers to read  statements to the effect that MMT was not harmful either to the  environment or to health at the very moment that the latest scientific  evidence suggested that it may indeed be injurious to the health,  especially of children. There are other cases pending. The Sun Belt Water Corporation of California is suing for  $1.5-$10.5 billion because we won't let it sell our water. Pope &  Talbot Inc., a U.S. forest company is suing for $500 million. These suits  are just the tip of the iceberg.

 

The WTO is Anti-Democratic

 

The World Trade Organization is another threat to our  democratic traditions. It has ruled that the auto pact with the U.S. is  illegal. It has ruled that the European Union has to accept U.S. and  Canadian beef that has been raised on bovine growth hormones. It said that  the U.S. could not ban tuna caught in nets that drown sea turtles. (In  every case involving an environmental issue, the WTO has ruled against the  environment). Now the WTO has ruled that our drug patents are too short  and that, in effect, we have to change our laws to correspond with U.S.  laws. In addition to this affront to our sovereignty, this ruling, if it  stands, means that we will have to pay untold millions more for drugs at a  time when our health care system is already in crisis from inadequate  funding.

 

What Kind of Democracy?

 

The decline of democracy in the U.S. has reached the  point where Lewis Lapham, editor of Harpers Magazine, says the U.S. has  two governments - the permanent government and the provisional government.  The permanent government comprises: (a) the Fortune 500 list of the  largest American corporations, (b) the largest law firms in Washington  that do their legal work for them, (c) the largest public relation firms  in Washington that do their advertising and public relations and (d) the  top public servants both civil and military. These groups make up the  permanent government that really runs the country. Then there is the  provisional government - "politicians for  hire". Every few years there is a charade called an  election which picks a political actor to go on stage and read the scripts  written by the permanent government. As some actors read scripts with less  improvisation than others, the permanent government checks them out in  advance and decides who they want. Then they put up the money to get them  elected. George Bush is the perfect stereotype. Listen to him on "Free  Trade" and foreign policy and you will know he is the actor of choice. Why  did Elizabeth Dole drop out of the Republican race? Because she was not  the choice of the permanent government and didn't have the funds to  continue.

 

There are Strings Attached

 

The evolution of the system has led to a government that  is little more than a big bully enforcer for giant American corporations.  The U.S. government goes to the WTO and gets a ruling forcing us to accept  whatever big corporations want. Their giant corporations want to dominate  world markets. In a "Globalized" society, people don't matter - only  corporations do. Small independent operators  and family farms are doomed by globalization.


Aggressive Agri-Business

 

One of the coziest arrangements has been between the U.S.  government and Monsanto Corporation - now in the process of changing its  name due to a bad image. Monsanto is the company that gave us Agent  Orange, the allegedly safe defoliant used in the Vietnam War which has now  claimed thousands of casualties. Monsanto is also one of the companies  developing terminator seeds, seeds that cannot be replanted because they  are genetically altered to be sterile. This is one of the most frightening  developments in modern history. Attempts to corner world seed markets and  sell only genetically altered seed would impoverish millions of people.  When I learned that the U.S. Department of Agriculture had assisted  Monsanto in the development of such a patently evil product I wondered how  this could be possible in a democracy.

 

Then I  learned that one of Monsanto's key directors was one of President  Clinton's key fundraisers. It is a matter of national  shame that the Canadian government has been aiding and abetting the U.S.  in promoting the interests of this destructive company including its  increased control of Canadian agriculture. Ottawa is helping to drive  Canadian farmers out of business. Globalization in agriculture means three  or four giant agribusinesses are determined to monopolize the world food  supply with their genetically-altered species and make us all dependent on  them for our food. As we capitulate, and let  our farmers go under, these aggressive corporations are buying up some of  our best agricultural land.


National Fire Sale

 

At the same time, many of our best companies are being  bought out. Thirteen thousand  Canadian companies have been sold to foreigners in the last decade or so -  more than 10,000 to Americans. In a stunning admission to the National Postin early  March, Industry Minister John Manley predicted the end of federal  restrictions that prevent foreigners from buying Canadian airlines,  communications companies and even banks. There will be nothing left of  Canada but an empty shell. And the kind of corporate-controlled government  that allows this to happen is a cruel joke. Canada and the world are being re-engineered without the  consent of the citizens who are having their birthright sold out from  under their feet.


Let, Corporations Rule the World

 

The substitution of corporate rule for democracy is being  imposed around the world. Countries have to sign treaties that give  transnational corporations the right to cherry-pick their industries and  assets. If a country has a business that begins to cut into market share,  the transnationals can buy it, make it part of their empire, shut it down  or move it to Malaysia, for example. Under the rules of "Globalization",  no country - other than the big five (or six) - can hope to achieve  anything like self-sufficiency.

 

Neo-Classical Economics - Bad economic theory and bad  economic management


All of this change is justified in the name of  laissez-faire economics, which insists that governments are bad and  markets are good. Government-owned services must be privatized. Even basic  services like health and education are on the block. This is all in accord  with the ideas of Nobel laureate Milton Friedman and his colleagues at the  University of Chicago. At first, the Friedman system (ideology) was called  monetarism, but when that wasn't technically accurate, it was renamed  neo-classical monetarism - and, more recently - just neo-classical  economics. It should have been called retro-classical rather than  neo-classical because it is not new. It is the same old pre-depression  boom-bust system. Mainline economists won't admit it, but their 25-year  experiment with neo-classical economics has been a monumental flop and  resulted in a monumental 2,289% increase in federal debt. The increase in  debt was not primarily due to overspending as the right insists. It was  primarily due to the slow growth of the economy and debt compounding at  high interest rates due to monetarist policies. Compound interest was the  real culprit.

 

People are the Victims

 

The cold statistics can be translated into the  heart-wrenching experiences of many Canadians. If you are a doctor or a  nurse, you are likely to find yourself so overworked and stressed out that  you are unable to provide the quality of care you want to give. The same  can be said for many teachers whose workload has been increased to the  point where they have felt obliged to reduce or eliminate participation in  extra-curricular activities like drama or sports. If you are a student,  you may graduate with as much or more debt as the mortgage on your  parents' first house. And, no matter who you are, if you lack skills, you  may be unemployed from time-to-time because a "Globalized" market system  is not designed for full employment (four percent). Demand management, as  practiced in the early post-war years is a neo-classical "no no". Your  company may be bought and downsized leaving you with few options after  long years of faithful service. This is just part of the price of  "Globalization".
 

Is there any hope?

 

There is hope but it will  require a revolution of the intellect followed by a revolution at the  ballot box. First, and immediately, we have to abrogate  the FTA and NAFTA in order to get rid of the "national treatment" clause  that is killing Canada. This does not mean turning the clock back ten  years on trade! Canada can compete in trade. But we cannot compete in  investment - we just don't have money on the same scale. So, we must try  to replace the FTA and NAFTA with new fair trade agreements and, if that  is not possible, rely on the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade which  served us so well for so long. Once we are rid of the "national treatment"  clause, we must start screening foreign investment again and stop the sale  of our best industries and with it stop much of the brain drain.  Then, we must refuse to sign any more  treaties, such as the FTAA (Free Trade Agreement of the  Americas) that will extend the "national treatment" clause to the tip of  South America. And, at the same time, we must take health care, education,  agriculture and intellectual property off the table for the WTO  negotiations. To give up our sovereignty in these important areas would  reduce all Canadian governments to a state of impotence. This must not be  allowed to happen! Canada should say "No!" to any extension of WTO  jurisdiction and influence until we can gauge the damage already done.

 

The Monopoly to Print Money

 

In 1974, the Bank of Canada owned more than 20% of  federal government debt - the equivalent of an interest-free loan. But  that is the year our central bank adopted the ideas of Milton Friedman and  began to give back to the private banks their virtual monopoly to "print"  money. The result is that today the B of C only owns about 4% of federal  government debt and the shortfall has to be borrowed from the market,  including the private banks, at high interest rates. In effect, taxpayers  are subsidizing the private banks by $4-$5 billion a year. There is  insufficient space to discuss monetary theory here but anyone who is  interested can read books on the subject including one or two of mine such  as 'Surviving the Global Financial Crisis', or 'Stop: Think', the latest  one. A system where private banks print nearly all of the money is not a  stable system (44 recessions and depressions in 200 years) and is not one  that will provide full employment for Canada or the world. There is simply  not enough money in the hands of rank and file consumers. So, we have to  learn the lessons of history and revert to the system we had in effect  from 1939 to 1974. Access to significant amounts of publicly-created, zero  cost (debt free) money is the only way governments can meet the  conflicting demands of increased expenditures for health care, education,  environmental concerns, research and development, the arts and other  legitimate areas of public concern while permitting lower taxes at the  same time. There is no other way to reconcile the claims of left and  right

 

The War [Electoral] for Independence

 

The next federal election  will decide Canada's fate. If any party - or combination  of parties - that supports the FTA and NAFTA forms the next government,  Canada is dead. Our only hope is a genuine alliance of patriotic Liberals,  Conservatives, Reformers, NDPers, Bloc Québécois, and even people too  cheesed-off to vote, getting together in one powerful movement to turn the  ship of state around before it is too late. An independent Canada is best  for the United States, the world and us. If we really believe that, we all  have to enlist in Canada's war for independence and make it happen.

 

Editorial  Note: Globalization directly affects our personal freedom,  for example, to choose

the food and medicine we need for our  health.

EXPERTS WARN OF 1930'S STYLE DEPRESSION

WALL STREET FOLKS "NEVER EXPERIENCED SO MUCH FEAR";

We are standing on the edge of an abyss. I have warned about this for over two years. Few listened. This week could prove decisive. We may watch the end of the US dollar as a currency this week. We may see a "bank holiday" to shut the banks. I hope all of you are prepared with cash to tie you over. Food to keep you alive. Guns to protect yourselves.

EXPERTS SAY DOLLAR IS "DOOMED"

FEDERAL RESERVE CUTS INTEREST RATES AGAIN;

If you folks are smart, you will look into opening a foreign checking account and wire transferring as much as you can out fo the U.S. If the dollar collapses, the Treasury can declare a "force majeur" which would be a defacto repudiation of our national debt. Within one day, Asia and European markets would nosedive. By day two, our currency would be virtually worthless around the world and the treasury would "de-monetize" the dollar, making all assets held in dollars instantly worthless.

They would then offer you a replacement currency (the AMERO) and maybe give you two cents on the dollar for your life savings, IRA, 401K and the like. I urge all of you, in the strongest terms possible, get your money to a safe country fast.

Robert Gottliebsen

Let's not forget 1929

 

Mike Tilley, now CEO of Challenger, was a close adviser to a wide range of leading companies including BHP and top banks in the late 1980s and so was close to all aspects of the recession and the corporate crashes that followed .

 

That's why during Tilley's weekend KGB interrogation I nearly fell off my chair when he said this: "Global capital markets are in the worst shape I've ever seen in my life. I have been going back and re-reading all the books I can about 1929-34. It looks to me like it's very much similar sort of circumstances.

 

"I'm not suggesting that we're in global depression, but certainly there seems to be a lack of liquidity in global markets happening.

 

"What the market doesn't seem to be acknowledging here – particularly the Federal Reserve in the US but central banks more generally – is that all of the banks are desperately short of capital. And when banks are short of capital they have to shrink their balance sheets and when they shrink their balance sheets then they eventually take out of the economy all of the capital that creates productivity improvements.

 

"When you don't have productivity improvements you don't get economic growth. By not making the banks raise capital the central banks are essentially creating their own sort of recession around the world, and we're not immune from it here."

 

He went on to point out that while Australian banks are not in the desperate plight of those in the US and Europe, they are selling mortgages at a loss which will result in a substantial reduction in mortgage activity.

 

As I have pointed out in Business Spectator (Devastation Looms, March 11; Rudd plays with fire, March 6) the banks are being heavied by Kevin Rudd and Wayne Swan to restrict their mortgage interest rates and the inexperienced Prime Minister and Treasurer are on the way to creating an Australian credit squeeze which, like the US and European affairs, will slash the value of real estate.

 

But the mortgage restriction goes further than Rudd and Swan's blunders. Superannuation funds once bought mortgages from banks, but now the secondary mortgage market is depressed and they are incurring paper losses on the mortgages they hold—even though they are perfectly sound.

 

The superannuation funds want no more mortgages until the mortgage interest rates are competitive with what is on offer on the secondary market. In turn this throws all the lending burden onto the restricted bank capital. Our shortage of bank capital is nowhere near as serious as in the US, but it will compound if the banks keep offering mortgage loans at a loss. And if it starts to affect bank profits, overseas lenders will really get tough. Everyone is hoping that the US crisis will be overcome quickly. They had better be right .

 

Mike Tilley could do the nation an enormous service if, when he has finished his 1929 books, he passes them onto Kevin and Wayne.

(5) Is it true Queensland Health staff changed tooth decay data used in the decision to force fluoridation?

(6) Is it true, as Freedom of Information reportedly shows, that a senior Oral Health advisor to the Minister said in 2006 there are no scientific studies to prove water fluoridation is safe?

(7) Is it true data used by Queensland Government to formulate this policy was based on baby teeth only and not on data from permanent teeth?

(8) Is it true the data from permanent teeth in children aged 6 to 12 years old shows on average only a tiny fraction of a tooth difference in decay rates?

ONE WORLD ORDER

 

                                                                          About The New World Order Map

 

 

This map was discovered by Helen Somers in a window in Philadelphia during World War II. It was completed in October 1941, before Pearl Harbor, was printed in bright colors by a cartographer named Maurice Gomberg in Philadelphia in 1942, and was displayed in his store window. Helen Somers immediately recognized the significance of the map and purchased several. At least a few original copies are still in existence, including one in the Library of Congress in Washington, DC.

 

The original source of the plan that is described in detail on the map is not given. However, an examination of numerous documents of the period relating to the new world order indicate that the source must have been individuals related to the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and/or the U.S. State Department.

 

The bottom of the map contains a detailed explanation of the U.S. policy for the New World Order. Some of the points of this policy are as follows:

·      A new world order for permanent peace and freedom will be established at the end of the War.

·      The U.S.A. must, altruistically, assume the leadership of the newly established world order.

·      The U.S.A., Britain, and the U.S.S.R. will undertake to guarantee peace to the nations, which will be permanently disarmed and demilitarized.

·      The U.S.A. will become invincible as a military, naval, and air power.

·      The U.S.S.R. will acquire the republics of Eastern Europe after the War.

·      There will be a demilitarized, federated United States of Europe.

·      Canada, Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean islands will be incorporated into the United States of America.

·      The land of the ancient Hebrews, known as Palestine and Trans-Jordan, will be united as a demilitarized republic called Hebrewland.

·      All natural resources will be nationalized and distributed to all nations.

·      Banking, investments, railroads, and power plants will be nationalized everywhere.

·      A world common monetary system will be established.

·      The unified "Supreme War Council of the United Nations" will be reorganized and transformed into a "Supreme Military and Economic Council" to assist in reconstruction and to enforce world peace.

The dimensions: of the map are nearly 36 inches by 25 inches.
