After months in which a series of government ministers of all parties have threatened a toughening in the stance over City bonuses, Downing Street said the government did not intend to intervene in the pay of the UK's top bankers.' Read more: Banks Given Go-Ahead to Pay Unlimited Bonuses They were never going to intervene on bonuses - it was all window dressing and words to allow time to pass before announcing business-as-usual when they thought the furore over the criminal banking system and its personnel had died down enough. Millionaire Prime Minister, David Cameron, from a banking family with connections to the Rothschilds, and millionaire Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne, heir to the Osborne baronetcy, are going to take on the banks?? 'They think we mean what we say ... hah, hah, hah, hah, hah ... what a hoot.'

This pressure eventually established that Shropshire County Council had LIED in its response to a Freedom of Information request about its involvement and foreknowledge of this illegal raid.' On Thursday 13th January, from 10am, there will be another public meeting of Shropshire County Council at the Shire Hall in Shrewsbury which has banned Robert Green.

If this is so why not highlight a speech given by then presidential candidate Obama in 2008, in which he triumphantly stated “If They Bring a Knife to the Fight, We Bring a Gun”? Obama made the comments at a fundraiser in Philadelphia in June 2008 in the run up to the November elections as he squared off against John McCain for the presidency.' Wednesday, 12 January 2011 09:59 'Cochise County Sheriff Larry Dever said he does not understand why his friend and colleague, Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik, would suggest at a news conference following Saturday's shooting in Tucson that political ideology played a role in the tragedy. At a press conference on Saturday, Dupnik said Arizona had become the “mecca for prejudice and bigotry” and that “the vitriolic rhetoric that we hear day in and day out from people in the radio business and some people in the TV business” should, given events, prompt America “to do a little soul-searching.” In reference to Dupnik’s remarks, Sheriff Dever told CNSNews.com by telephone on Monday, “His words sadden me. He and he alone can define what he meant, just as the shooter of Gabrielle Giffords and all the others he killed and injured can only answer for himself".'

Further reports that the oceans are filled with more plastic than plankton, and that the patch has been growing tenfold each decade since the 1950s are equally misleading, the new research claimed. In reality it often cannot even be seen from the deck of a passing boat, said the latest analysts from the Oregon State University professor of oceanography Angelicque White.'

Bob Diamond, who claimed yesterday that the size of his bonus is evidence of 'financial restraint', told MPs that banks 'needed to be able to take risks' and that the 'blame game should be put behind us'. The millionaire banker, added that banks should be 'allowed to fail' but that it was not acceptable to take bail-outs from the taxpayer.' There has, of course been no 'period of remorse and apology' by the banks - they cause economic catastrophe for billions, are bailed out by those same people whose lives they have wrecked and then pay themselves fantastic bonues. They don't give a damn and Diamond is a classic example of the grotesque arrogance of the banking system.

'On New Year’s Day, a devastating terrorist bombing at a Coptic church in Egypt killed 21 people and injured 79 others. Although the identity of the culprits was not known, it was assumed that they were Muslim extremists, intent on targeting those they saw as heretics. Religious tensions immediately rose in the country, and angry Copts stormed streets, battled with police, and even vandalized a nearby mosque. The riots and heightened tensions between the Muslim and Coptic communities was likely what the terrorists wanted — to divide the Egyptian community and create sectarian strife between different religious groups.
Yet by Coptic Christmas Eve, which took place Thursday night in Egypt, things had changed completely. As Egyptian Copts attended mass at churches across the country, “thousands” of Muslims, including “the two sons of President Hosni Mubarak,” joined them, acting as “human shields” to protect from terrorist attacks by extremists. The Muslims organized under the slogan “We either live together, or we die together,” inspired by Mohamed El-Sawy, an Egyptian artist.'

'A special backup network that allows communications between government and military agencies to continue during emergencies was "miraculously" switched on the day before 9/11, and so was already operational when the terrorist attacks in New York and at the Pentagon took place. The Special Routing Arrangement Service (SRAS) was, for reasons unknown, turned on for "exercise mode" on September 10, 2001, and was therefore ready to be utilized the following day, when there was a national emergency like that for which it was intended.'

Who knows more about health - the mainstream media or those that believe in "conspiracy theories"? Well, the truth is that time after time after time those in the "alternative media" and those who believe in "conspiracy theories" have been proven to be far ahead of those in the mainstream media when it comes to matters of health.
Sadly, the mainstream media receives so much funding and so many advertising dollars from the pharmaceutical industry, the medical industry, the big chemical companies and the health insurance industry that they are extremely cautious to report any information that would be harmful to any of them.
So for years, the mainstream media generally refused to talk about the dangers posed by things such as fluoride, aspartame, prescription drugs, genetically modified crops and cell phones. But now the alternative media has been making so much noise about many of these health issues for so long that the mainstream media has been forced to acknowledge that some of these "conspiracy theories" about health are actually true.'

'Mission, British Columbia, resident Len Gratto recently experienced the wrath of local city officials who fined him $5,200 for growing cucumbers in his basement. Under current laws, municipal regulators are permitted to enter premises on suspicion that a homeowner is illegally growing marijuana -- and even if no pot is found, they can levy the fines anyway.
"It's upsetting they can do this," explained Gratto to The Province. "We were growing cucumbers in the basement because they wouldn't take outside".'

'Thousands of hospital doctors in the Czech Republic have handed in their resignation en masse as part of a protest against low salaries and poor working conditions.
The Czech Doctors' Union (LOK-SCL) launched the second phase of "Thanks, We Are Leaving" campaign aimed at putting more pressure on the government to increase their wages by one and a half times and to provide better working conditions within the health care system across the country, a Press TV correspondent reported on Tuesday.'

'New York City has declared a weather emergency as weather forecasters warn that a new storm is set to hit the northeast of the United States and cause several flight cancellations.
The US National Weather Service is predicting a wave of steady snow to develop and head up the eastern seaboard, while another one is moving in from the Ohio and Tennessee valleys. The two low pressure systems are set to merge off the mid-Atlantic coast and rapidly intensify late Tuesday.
The blast of snow is expected to make a landfall late Tuesday local time and into the overnight hours with the heaviest snow to fall east of New York City.'

'There is a telling detail in the US retail chain store data for December. Stephen Lewis from Monument Securities points out that luxury outlets saw an 8.1pc rise from a year ago, but discount stores catering to America’s poorer half rose just 1.2pc.
Tiffany’s, Nordstrom, and Saks Fifth Avenue are booming. Sales of Cadillac cars have jumped 35pc, while Porsche’s US sales are up 29pc. Cartier and Louis Vuitton have helped boost the luxury goods stock index by almost 50pc since October. Yet Best Buy, Target, and Walmart have languished.
Such is the blighted fruit of Federal Reserve policy. The Fed no longer even denies that the purpose of its latest blast of bond purchases, or QE2, is to drive up Wall Street, perhaps because it has so signally failed to achieve its other purpose of driving down borrowing costs.'
