Kevin Gosztola: CPD, FBI & Secret Service Claim NATO 3 Came to Chicago to Commit ‘Terrorist Acts of Violence’
Gosztola in Firedoglake ..According to the National Lawyers Guild, two police informants infiltrated the group. The NLGE believes “they’re the ones who provoked this and they’re the ones,” who committed the “illegal activity” and had the “illegal materials.” Additionally, they said the informants didn’t provide the materials and convince the activists to engage in some plot. The activists did not take the bait. The informants simply left the materials in the apartment ahead of the raid so the materials would be there for police to find. “This is our understanding,” Deutsch declared. “Police brought the materials, they suggested that this happened, people were not willing to do it, they called for a raid and arrested everybody in the apartment.”Common Dreams has a report on this - "Chicago Police Hold Occupy Activists on State Terrorism Charges With Dubious Evidence" - and here's a video the same three activists, Jared Chase, Brent Beterly, and Brian Jacob Church, posted after being pulled over and harassed by Chicago police - mab .. read more

More news on, HFCS high fructose corn syrup, which, although illegal in Europe, is subsidized in the USA. It is used liberally in everything from bread and breakfast cereals to candy. We knew all along it contributed to various physical ailments. Now we find not only does it rob you of your physical wealth but also mental wealth as well. Big business has already taken most people's pocketbooks. Monetary wealth is gone do you suppose that would be enough? Apparently not! Things are well underway, with our leaders help, to rob us of not only monetary wealth, but also physical wealth and mental wealth. Stealing learning ability and memories on such a widespread scale also destroys the wealth of the nation in ways most have not considered. Insidious as this is there is information that can help. Using, EFA's Essential fatty acids or healthy fats, such as fish oil and flax seed oil [NOT GMO SOY OIL OR GMO ANYTHING] can mitigate some of the damage. There are many other natural foods, herbs, vitamins, minerals, and other agents to minimize damage, however they must be sought out. It is not going to be on the morning news. Drug companies/big business is not sharing any of this with kind of information with your health care providers. Study and reading health information is not only for geeks. It is a requirement for everyone to maintain physical and mental health these days. Regain your physical health and your IQ at the same time. It is not hard to get 15-20 IQ points, perhaps more, in some fairly simple ways. Hummm, let me think! Give me a Snickers and I will figure it out....................bill altmillerPosted by Michael Butler, Saturday, May 19, 2012

he got to rip into one of the Koch brothers in person ..Of course, all of us should be honored to be listed on the TIME 100 alongside the two men who will be slugging it out in the fall: President Obama, and the man who would defeat him, David Koch. Give it up everybody. David Koch. Little known fact -- David, nice to see you again, sir. Little known fact, David's brother Charles Koch is actually even more influential. Charles pledged $40 million to defeat President Obama, David only $20 million. That's kind of cheap, Dave. Sure, he's all for buying the elections, but when the bill for democracy comes up, Dave's always in the men's room. I'm sorry, I must have left Wisconsin in my other coat. I was particularly excited to meet David Koch earlier tonight because I have a Super PAC, Colbert Super PAC, and I am -- thank you, thank you -- and I am happy to announce Mr. Koch has pledged $5 million to my Super PAC. And the great thing is, thanks to federal election law, there's no way for you to ever know whether that's a joke.. read more
