Bradbury Would Create 'Bank of Oregon' if He Were Governor 'The state of Oregon should have its own bank so taxpayer dollars could help fund local businesses instead of boosting the profits of big multinational banks, says Bill Bradbury, Democratic candidate for governor and former secretary of state. Bradbury announced his proposal today in Portland as part of his plan to find jobs for more Oregonians. The state bank, modeled on one in North Dakota, would form the cornerstone of his jobs proposal, he said. "It's time to declare economic sovereignty from the multinational banks," Bradbury said.' 'Anti Piracy' Law Firms Labeled a Scam in the House of Lords 'Lord Clement-Jones describes a continuing scam of a Law Firm that obtains a Norwich Pharmacal and then uses it to try to obtain money from an individual. ' Sick-care America Now Needs Another $1.9 Trillion Increase in Debt Limit Just to Stay Afloat 'The US government is running out of money... again. So Democrats want to increase the debt limit by trillions of dollars... again. The newly requested debt limit increase is a jaw-dropping $1.9 trillion, which would put the total national debt at $14.3 trillion. These are more than just numbers on pieces of paper. It's easy to get lost in the numbers and not realize the significance of what's happening here, but as I've explained many times here on NaturalNews, what you are watching is the financial crumbling of the American empire.' GE Attempts to Silence Doctor Who Warned About Dangers of Medical Imaging Drug 'GE Healthcare, a British subsidiary of multinational giant General Electric, is suing Henrik Thomsen, a senior radiologist and professor of radiology, for sounding the alarm about the dangers of the company's medical imaging drug, Omniscan. After witnessing kidney patients who had received the drug develop potentially fatal conditions, Thomsen publicly exposed the drug's dangers which caused a firestorm of controversy. In an effort to muzzle Thomsen, GE Healthcare has already spent more than 380,000 British pounds, or about $610,000, in legal fees pursuing litigation against him. Utilizing loopholes in Britain's libel laws, the company is alleging that Thomsen falsely accused GE of suppressing sensitive information about the drug's risks at an Oxford scientific congress presentation in 2007.' Climategate - Analysis 'Climategate has shattered that myth. It gives us a peephole into the work of the scientists investigating possibly the most important issue ever to face mankind. Instead of seeing large collaborations of meticulous, careful, critical scientists, we instead see a small team of incompetent cowboys, abusing almost every aspect of the framework of science to build a fortress around their “old boys’ club”, to prevent real scientists from seeing the shambles of their “research”. Most people are aghast that this could have happened; and it is only because “climate science” exploded from a relatively tiny corner of academia into a hugely funded industry in a matter of mere years that the perpetrators were able to get away with it for so long.' Disasters are Big Business 'I am staggered. There are 10,000 ‘NGOs’ (Non-Governmental Organizations) in Haiti, one for every 900 inhabitants and each one of them has no doubt at least one Westerner working within, yet aside from the Cuban health workers, it seems they could do nothing until the gringos arrived with their Blackhawks and nuclear-tipped aircraft carrier and of course, the 82nd Airborne, paying yet another ‘visit’ to this benighted and super-exploited land to ’secure’ the place for the locust storm of aid to come (too late for too many).' The Best Democracy Money Can Buy 'The American corporate businesses can now freely spend their money to prop-up political candidates as the US Supreme Court overrules a ban on campaign financing by corporations.The nine justices of the top court ruled on Thursday by a 5-4 vote to abolish a two-decade ruling urging the companies to only use specially earmarked funds from a political action committee for political purposes, AFP reported.' US Says it Will Stay in Haiti for Long Term 'Despite criticism for the US military presence in quake-stricken Haiti, Washington says it has a long-term plan to stay in the country. "We are there for the long term, this is not something that will be resolved quickly and easily," US Ambassador to the UN Alejandro Wolff said on Thursday. Just three days after a magnitude 7 earthquake jolted Haiti on January 12, the United States began to send military forces to the impoverished Caribbean nation. The head of US Southern Command General Douglas Fraser said on Thursday that nearly 20,000 US troops are due to operate, both on land and offshore, by Sunday.'
