'If you're in the market for a car, be prepared to prove you are not a terrorist.
The federal government's Red Flags Rule mandates that auto dealers, banks, credit unions and other "creditors" and "financial institutions" take additional steps to prevent identity theft and fraud, beginning Jan. 1. Included in the list of so-called creditors is your family doctor.
Among those steps is determining whether a person applying for financing - or even paying cash for a car - appears on any government watch lists of known or suspected terrorists or terrorist organizations.'

'A federal Europe, with more sovereign power ceded to the centre, is the best defence against any future crisis, the head of the International Monetary Fund has declared.
Warning that "the sovereign crisis is not over", Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the IMF managing director and a likely French presidential candidate, called on the European Union to move responsibility for fiscal discipline and structural reform to a central body that is free from the influences of member states.'

'Going to your MP is something that people rarely do except when in some sort of trouble or are needing a voice for their campaign, so when Greg Mulholland MP for Leeds North West office was recently approached by this site we had a meeting in terms of a face to face interview in his office with his office manager, promising to get back within a week, well that was back in September.
We approached him in the mind of bringing to his attention some extremely unpleasant child stealing that is going on in Leeds by Social Services, whilst at the same time they are protecting peodophiles.'

'The influence of spooks on Irish politics in 2010 went largely unnoticed as public attention concentrated on significant financial developments. But as the year ended, what may prove to be historic events were happening behind the scenes, with competing British spy groups clashing head-on in a battle for government funding and influence in Downing Street through control of events in Ireland.
The arrival in early November in Derry of Lord Carlile, independent advisor to the British Government on the activities of the Security Service (MI5), to investigate SDLP claims that MI5 were involved in the shooting dead in February of leading Real IRA member Kieran Doherty outside the city could be the catalyst which exposes what has been happening on both sides of the Border, where MI5 has been running what is known in the spook business as “false flag” operations.'

'Think the complaints about the TSA are beginning to reach a tipping point? There's a whole bunch of new news on this front, starting with a California district attorney saying that he's ready to charge TSA agents with sexual assault if evidence is presented that the new pat downs go too far (apparently multiple DAs are now saying this).'

'Your local hospital just might be more of a death trap than an actual health care facility. A new report issued by the Office of Inspector General at the Health and Human Services Department (HHS) says that every month roughly 134,000 hospital patients experience some type of adverse event during their stays. And about 15,000 of them die every month due to various medical and surgical errors.
According to the report, such adverse events include surgery mistakes, medication dosage errors, improper care protocols, and transmission of infection due to filthy conditions. In fact, patients are often admitted to hospitals in healthier condition than when they leave (if they even do), and much of the time their health declines are a result of avoidable medical errors.'
