  now that i've got some time on my hands during the day i noticed something odd about the jerry springer show.. it seems like every time it is on, one or more people are on the stage naked and waving their arms around and yelling.

  why the hell do people on that show feel so compelled to take off their clothes?.

  Should Bush Make His STATE Visit To The UK Next Week?

  by Englishman in

  2. friends

  note that i'm talking about a state visit, not your run-of-the-mill political scenario.. state visits from visiting presidents, kings and queens involve open-top parades through pall mall next to queen lizzie in an open landau, several nights in the best suite at buckingham palace, soldiers and guardsmen in full regalia and banquets galore until the excellent food pops out your ears.

  that's a state visit.

  i don't think that we've had a full state visit from a us president since jfk.. now, our good friend george dubya is expected for a state visit next week.

  a CO does not want sisters controlling things.

  With that in mind, I'm surprised they made it as far as they did.

  U.S. Government - AP

  Cover-Up Alleged in Probe of USS Liberty 1 hour, 6 minutes ago By JENNIFER C. KERR, Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON - A former Navy attorney who helped lead the military investigation of the 1967 Israeli attack on the USS Liberty that killed 34 American servicemen says former President Lyndon Johnson and his defense secretary, Robert McNamara, ordered that the inquiry conclude the incident was an accident. AP Photo Reuters Slideshow: Mideast Conflict In a signed affidavit released at a Capitol Hill news conference, retired Capt. Ward Boston said Johnson and McNamara told those heading the Navy's inquiry to "conclude that the attack was a case of 'mistaken identity' despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary." Boston was senior legal counsel to the Navy's original 1967 review of the attack. He said in the sworn statement that he stayed silent for years because he's a military man, and "when orders come ... I follow them." He said he felt compelled to "share the truth" following the publication of a recent book, "The Liberty Incident," which concluded the attack was unintentional.

  The article ends with:

  Moorer's panel suggested several possible reasons Israel might have wanted to attack a U.S. ship. Among them: Israel intended to sink the ship and blame Egypt because it might have brought the United States into the 1967 war.

  ok i know the tabloids and maybe this one "carrying this scoop" over here in particular these past 2 days, must be sometimes taken with a pinch of salt, but did any of you read the latest stuff about diana and her letter to her butler 10 months before her death in paris....here's an excerpt from her letter penned in oct 1996:-.

  ... " i am sitting here at my desk today in october, longing for someone to hug me and encourage me to keep strong and hold my head high.

  this particular phase in my life is the most dangerous.... (the princess then identifyed where she felt the threat and danger would come)..... is planning "an accident" in my car, break failure and serious head injury in order to make the path clear for charles to marry.

  SIMPALSALLY................JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU, I THINK YOU RESEMBLE FERGIE ALOT......

  I thought the same thing when I saw Sally's picture...

  In regards to Diana's death being a tragic accident or some sort of murder, wasn't it the queen that said to Diana's butler that "there are powers at work in this country about which we have no knowledge."

  I found it all highly suspect the day it happened and I still do.

  Heard of rBGH?

  rBGH (recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone) is given to cows to make them produce more milk. Monsanto manufactures rBGH under the name Posilac and has done so since February 1994.

  rBGH is banned in:
  The European Union
  Australia
  New Zealand
  Canada since January 1999
  but NOT in the United States!

  Long story short:

  Two reporters at tv station WTVT in Tampa, Florida produced a report on:

  In late 1996, Steve and I were hired as investigative journalists for the
  Fox-owned television station in Tampa. Looking for projects to pursue, I
  soon learned that millions of Americans and their children who consume milk
  from rBGH-treated cows unwittingly have become participants in what amounts
  to a giant public health experiment. Despite promises from grocers that they
  would not buy rBGH milk "until it gains widespread acceptance," I discovered
  and carefully documented how those promises were quietly broken. I also
  learned that health concerns raised by scientists around the world have
  never been settled, and indeed, the product has been outlawed or shunned in
  every other major industrialized country on the planet. Clearly, there is
  not "widespread acceptance" of rBGH, not in 1996 when I began my research,
  and not today.

  Monsanto didn't like it:

  After nearly three months of investigation that took me to interviews in
  five states, we produced a four-part series that Fox scheduled to begin on
  February 24, 1997. Station managers were so proud of the work that they
  saturated virtually every radio station in the Tampa Bay area with thousands
  of dollars worth of ads urging viewers to watch. But then, on the Friday
  evening prior to the broadcast, the station's pride turned to panic when a
  fax arrived from a Monsanto attorney.

  Confronted with these threats, WTVT decided to "delay" the broadcast,
  ostensibly to double check its accuracy. A week later after the station
  manager screened the report, found no major problems with its accuracy and
  fairness, and set a new air date, Fox received a second letter from
  Monsanto's attorney, claiming that "some of the points" we were asking about
  "clearly contain the elements of defamatory statements which, if repeated in
  a broadcast, could lead to serious damage to Monsanto and dire consequences
  for Fox News."

  Never mind that I carried a milk crate full of documentation to support
  every word of our proposed broadcast. Our story was pulled again, and if not
  dead, it was clearly on life support as Fox's own attorneys and top-level
  managers, fearful of a legal challenge or losing advertiser support, looked
  for some way to discreetly pull the plug.

  The station where we worked recently had been purchased by Fox, and
  we soon discovered that the new management had a radically different
  definition of media responsibility than anything we previously had encountered
  in our journalistic careers. As Fox took control, it fired the station manager
  who originally hired us and replaced him with Dave Boylan, a career salesman
  without any roots in journalism and seemingly lacking the devotion to serve
  the public interest that motivates all good investigative reporting.

  Not long after Boylan became the new station manager, Steve and I went
  up to see him in his office. He promised to look into the trouble we were
  having getting our rBGH story on the air. But when we returned a few days
  later, his strategy seemed clear. "What would you do if I killed your rBGH
  story?" he asked. What he really wanted to know was whether we would
  tell anyone the real reason why he was killing the story. In other words,
  would we leak details of the pressure from Monsanto that led to a coverup
  of what the station had already ballyhooed as important health information
  every consumer should know?

  the outcome?

  After three judges, 27 months of pre-trial wrangling and five weeks of
  courtroom testimony, the jury finally had its say. On August 28, 2000, it
  awarded me $425,000 in damages for being fired by TV station WTVT
  in Tampa, Florida. WTVT is a Fox station owned by Rupert Murdoch.
  The verdict made me the first journalist ever to win a "whistleblower"
  judgment in court against a news organization accused of illegally distorting
  the news.

  Fox appealed and prevailed February 14, 2003 when an appeals court issued a ruling reversing the jury, accepting a defense argument that had been rejected by three other judges on at least six separate occasions.

  "We (the Fox TV network) paid $3 billion for these television stations. We will decide what the news is. The news is what we tell you it is." -David Boylan, WTVT station manager

  oh, two last things on how this crap even got approved in the USA:

  QUICK QUIZ: HOW U.S. DEMOCRACY WORKS
  Question: How is it that every industrialized nation in the world has banned Monsanto's rBGH as unsafe, but it's legal (and unlabeled) in the United States?

  Answer: In order for the FDA to determine if Monsanto's growth hormones were safe or not, Monsanto was required to submit a scientific report on that topic. Margaret Miller, one of Monsanto's researchers put the report together. Shortly before the report submission, Miller left Monsanto and was hired by the FDA. Her first job for the FDA was to determine whether or not to approve the report she wrote for Monsanto. In short, Monsanto approved its own report. Assisting Miller was another former Monsanto researcher, Susan Sechen. Deciding whether or not rBGH-derived milk should be labeled fell under the jurisdiction of another FDA official, Michael Taylor, who previously worked as a lawyer for Monsanto.

  HOW MONSANTO'S POLICIES HAVE BECOME U.S. POLICY
  Prior to being the Supreme Court Judge who put G.W. in office, Clarence Thomas was Monsanto's lawyer. The U.S. Secretary of Agriculture (Anne Veneman) was on the Board of Directors of Monsanto's Calgene Corporation. The Secretary of Defense (Donald Rumsfeld) was on the Board of Directors of Monsanto's Searle pharmaceuticals. The U.S. Secretary of Health, Tommy Thompson, received $50,000 in donations from Monsanto during his winning campaign for Wisconsin's governor. The two congressmen receiving the most donations from Monsanto during the last election were Larry Combest (Chairman of the House Agricultural Committee) and Attorney General John Ashcroft.
