ShareThisPlastic bags, tape, broomsticks fix leak at San Onofre nuclear plant --NRC [insanely] contemplating restart of nuclear plant 30 Apr 2013 An inside source gave Team 10 a picture snapped inside the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) showing plastic bags, masking tape and broom sticks used to stem a massive leaky pipe. San Onofre owner Southern California Edison (SCE), confirms the picture was taken inside Unit Three, but did not say when. The anonymous source said the picture was taken in December 2012. Unit Three is the same unit that leaked radiation in January 2012. SONGS has been shutdown since then as a precaution.

ShareThisObama vows new push to close Guantanamo 30 Apr 2013 President Barack Obama vowed Tuesday to make a renewed attempt to close the US military prison in Guantanamo Bay, amid a hunger strike by suspected terrorist detainees. Obama told a White House news conference he did not want any prisoners to die and called on Congress to help him find a long-term legal solution to the problem of prosecuting terror suspects. "I continue to believe we have to close Guantanamo. I think it is critical for us to understand that Guantanamo is not necessary to keep America safe. It is expensive. It is inefficient. It hurts us in terms of our international standing. It lessens cooperation with our allies on counterterrorism efforts. It is a recruiting tool for extremists. It needs to be closed," he said.

ShareThisIraqi army losing hold on north to Sunni and Kurdish forces as troops desert 28 Apr 2013 Soldiers are deserting a beleaguered Iraqi army as it struggles to keep its hold on the northern half of Iraq in the face of escalating hostility from Sunni Arabs and Kurds who dominate in the region. Around the oil city of Kirkuk Kurdish troops have advanced south to take over military positions abandoned by the army, while in Baghdad senior Iraqi politicians say that for the first time there is talk of partitioning the country... In the last four months Prime Minister Nouri Al-Maliki has done little to conciliate the Sunni Arabs who have been conducting a peaceful campaign demanding civil and political rights.

ShareThisFemale DNA Found on Bomb in Boston Attack 29 Apr 2013 Investigators have found female DNA on at least one of the bombs used in the Boston Marathon attacks, though they haven't determined whose DNA it is or whether that means a woman helped the two suspects carry out the attacks, according to U.S. officials briefed on the probe. The officials familiar with the case cautioned that there could be multiple explanations for why the DNA of someone other than the two bombing suspects--Tamerlan Tsarnaev and his younger brother, Dzhokhar--could have been found on remnants of the exploded devices. The genetic material could have come, for example, from a store clerk who handled materials used in the bombs or a stray hair that ended up in the bomb.

ShareThisC.I.A. delivers 'tens of millions of dollars' to Afghan druglords, Taliban 29 Apr 2013 For more than a decade, wads of American dollars packed into suitcases, backpacks and, on occasion, plastic shopping bags have been dropped off every month or so at the offices of Afghanistan's president -- courtesy of the Central Intelligence Agency. All told, tens of millions of dollars have flowed from the C.I.A. to the office of President Hamid Karzai, according to current and former advisers to the Afghan leader. "We called it 'ghost money,'" said Khalil Roman, who served as Mr. Karzai's chief of staff from 2002 until 2005. "It came in secret, and it left in secret." Much of the C.I.A.'s money goes to paying off warlords and politicians, many of whom have ties to the drug trade and, in some cases, the Taliban.

Gen. (res.) Amos Yadlin, a former head of IDF Military Intelligence, said on Tuesday.

ShareThis'Police State' Registry System Being Set Up to Track Your Vaccination Status 26 Apr 2013 The Centers for Disease Control has been quietly rolling out a nationwide program called the Immunization Information Systems (IIS), registering your vaccine information into a database. This effort has been run in parallel with state vaccine registry implementations... The Centers for Disease Control's goal is to get 95% or greater vaccine compliance. One function of the CDC's Immunization Information System is to "forecast" vaccines due, past due, or coming due. When these tactics don't work or are ignored, expect more a more confrontational strategy. Keep in mind what happened on Christmas Eve 2009. The U.S. Senate passed H.R. 3590. The bill eventually became Public Law No. 111-148, which gives the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) authorization to create "vaccination squads" in local communities and seek out unvaccinated children. The "vaccine squads" are called the Community Preventive Services Task Force. [We'll take your shot after you take ours.]
