Omstreeks kwart over 7 kregen wij een
melding vanuit Sappemeer dat een vuurbal
over kwam vliegen dat werd gevolgd door een doffe klap. Deze was zo hard dat de
huizen ervan trilden. Ook getuigen vanuit o.a. Amsterdam, Meppel, Gouda, Schinveld
en Eibergen meldden dat zij het object over hebben zien vliegen. Meerdere mensen
zagen dat de vuurbal slechts op geringe hoogte vloog. De getuige uit Meppel zag het
object, dat richting het noordoosten vloog, verderop uiteenspatten.

met UFO's. De getuigenissen zijn onderdeel van de onlangs vrijgegeven UFO documenten
uit Ecuador. De militairen kwamen vorig jaar naar buiten met het bericht dat zij twee
UFO's achterna jaagden met gevechtsvliegers.
Scientific proof of explosives in
WTC on 9/11 - Prof. Niels Harrit interviewed by Daan de Wit
Professor Niels Harrit was being
interviewed by Daan de Wit for DeepJournal, during the annual 9/11-meeting, this year in
in Paris, 10 October 2009. Subject is the scientific research Harrit conducted. He and his
team found residue from explosives in the rubble of the three WTC towers that collapsed on
9/11. The team found nano-thermite, a material used exclusively to bring down buildings in
a controlled demolition.
Killing Fields - the price of cheap
meat for Europe
Much of the cheap meat and dairy produce
sold in supermarkets across Europe is arriving as a result of serious human rights abuses
and environmental damage in one of Latin America's most impoverished countries. In this
film, produced by the Ecologist Film Unit in conjunction with coalition of pressure groups
including Friends of the Earth, Food and Water Watch and Via Campesina, documents the
experiences of some of those caught up in Paraguay's growing conflict over soy farming. It
also reveals, for the first time, how intensive animal farming across the EU, including
the UK, is fuelling the problem.
ADHD Drugs Cause Heart Problems,
Chiropractic and Nutrition a Natural Option
Physician reports on a new study linking
children's heart problems to medication used to treat ADD and ADHD. The doctor goes on to
say that chiropractic and nutrition treatments should be explored as viable options.
China Peaks, World Freaks
World media are a bunch of party poopers,
criticizing China as it celebrates the 60th anniversary of Communist rule. Fox News'
response was predictable, but South African broadcasting seemed to have it in for China as
well. China's former "big brother to the North," as Russia Today phrased it, was
one of the few willing to join the celebration.
Adelphia Communications, Barings Bank,
Enron, HealthSouth, HIH Insurance, Hollinger International, Tyco International,
WorldCom/MCI, Xerox...the white collar crime list goes on. But, did the executives at
these companies start out as criminals or did they head down the slippery slope to
criminality one misplaced step at a time? According to research to be published in the
International Journal of Business Governance and Ethics, there are twelve steps to
white-collar crime.
Ruth McKay of the Sprott School of
Business, at Carleton University, Carey Stevens of Carey Stevens and Associates, in
Ottawa, and Jae Fratzl of Artworks Counselling and Psychotherapy, in Ontario, Canada,
worked together to examine the psychopathology of the white-collar criminal acting as a
corporate leader.
They have looked at the impact of a
leader's behavior on other employees and how organizational culture develops during that
leader's reign to help them explain how morally upstanding people can become embroiled in
and addicted to white-collar criminality that can bring down an entire corporation. Their
analysis suggests that this descent involves a 12-step process that takes a company and
many of the individuals working in it from operating entirely legally to a situation in
which unethical behavior is ignored and wrong-doing is promoted.
"Illegal activities at a corporation
may appear to be the act of one person, such as with the collapse of the 233-year-old
Barings Bank," McKay explains. That downfall was the result of Nick Leeson's actions,
but Barings Bank executives knew through audits that Leeson had a conflict of interest as
he was both trading and settling deals. The auditors, Coopers and Lybrand, were also
blamed by the bank liquidators for negligence related to Leeson's trading activities.
In the case of Enron, three top players
were culpable, but problems were much more widespread within the organization with
internal lawyers having helped misrepresent deals in Enron's accounting and external
individuals who shredded documents or worked in illegal transactions to promulgate the
crime.
The researchers have broken down the
process of white-collar crime into 12 steps, with steps one to four explaining how the
"players" first encounter and support each other and begin to spot the
opportunity for illegal activity.
These first four steps are: The perpetrator
is hired into a position of power. Second step, personality and life circumstances affect
the perpetrator in such a way that they recognise their power. In the third step
"drivers" who turn a blind eye or condone certain activities come into view. The
fourth step sees passive participants recognizing an opportunity.
In steps 5 to 8 the truth of escalating
illegal activity is hidden.
In step 5 reluctant participants are drawn
into the web of deceit by the "leader". In step 6 distrust of the other people
involved emerges. In step 7, the perpetrator recognizes they have their accomplices in a
vulnerable position and begin to exploit that position. In step 8 bullying tactics become
increasingly common as illegal goals are aimed for.
In steps 9 through 12 the perpetrator's
actions are challenged and publicised revealing the white-collar crime.
In step 9, the crime continues, but the
perpetrators, trapped in their insatiable addiction, become more blaze, taking bigger
risks, and seeking more lucrative exploits.
In step 10, an undeniable paradox becomes
apparent, as the participants' values and their behavior are now obviously in conflict.
In step 11, a whistleblower steps up to the
mark and the leader loses control.
Finally in step 12, blame is laid at the
feet of the perpetrator at which point they either deny everything or admit their guilt
and seek forgiveness by laying bare their activities.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger,
environmentalists and water districts have waded hip-deep into arguments over new dams,
pricey canals and other ways to manage future water wars in California. But the looming
water crisis that the governor warns of is already here.Hundreds of small, rural
communities throughout California's agricultural heartland have no access to clean, safe
drinking water. It's a public health crisis that threatens California families every day.
According to the state Department of Public Health, public drinking water systems deliver
water with unsafe levels of contaminants to approximately 1 million people. The vast
majority of this tainted water flows to the Central Valley - to little-known towns such as
Monterey Park Tract, Mendota, Parlier, East Orosi, Cutler and Alpaugh - where residents
can't fill a glass of tap water without fear of cancer, kidney disease and other health
problems. These are some of our state's poorest towns, where median household incomes
hover around $18,000. But they pay some of the highest water rates in California - 2 to 6
percent of their household income - for undrinkable water.
In 2004 alone, tens of thousands of Central
Valley residents received bright orange notices from their public drinking water systems
saying their water was not safe to drink and exceeded legal contaminant levels. Many
Central Valley residents drive 30 to 50 miles each week just to buy bottled water,
effectively doubling the price for this basic need. More than 90 percent of Central Valley
communities depend on water stored underground for their drinking water. Unfortunately,
years of intensive farming with uncontrolled chemical use has heavily poisoned that
source. Recent groundwater sampling in Tulare County found that 3 out of 4 homes with
private wells have contaminated water that is unsafe to drink.
California's agricultural heartland offers a bounty of crops, from cotton to almonds to
dairy products.
But Central Valley industries also pour
forth a darker bounty: a vast array of water contaminants, including nitrates from
fertilizer use and mega-dairy waste and pesticide components, such as DBCP - a chemical
banned for causing cancer and harming men's reproductive systems that still appears in
Central Valley wells. These contaminants mix with water used to irrigate crops and wash
cows and then seeps into the Central Valley's groundwater. When people in neighboring
communities drink this water, they consume known carcinogens and acute poisons, such as
nitrates, which can kill infants in a matter of days.
When contaminant levels spike or wells fail, no large water agency stands ready to come
fix broken treatment systems. Most of these small communities must shoulder the costs
alone, paying for expensive maintenance and operations out of the lean budgets of a couple
of hundred farmworker families.
These contamination and infrastructure problems have grown unchecked since development in
the Central Valley began. Virtually every water agency ignores California's massive
groundwater contamination problem. Regulatory agencies such as the state and regional
Water Quality Control boards have given a green light to rampant agricultural pollution.
California and Texas remain the only states in the country without a groundwater
management program.
Meanwhile, the state has developed an
elaborate and expensive system to pipe crystal-clear Northern California river water to
Central Valley farms, at taxpayer expense. The vast webs of canals and aqueducts,
subsidized by public dollars, bring water to Central Valley farms. Fresh, clean water
flows right by the homes of men and women who harvest the irrigated fields, but have no
access to safe drinking water. Without the ability to hire highly paid staffers and
lobbyists, farm families find their voices drowned out by the raging debates about
California water. They continually fall through the cracks of local, state and regional
planning. Instead of talking about future water needs, we need to talk about the chronic
lack of access to clean drinking water Central Valley residents face every day. Instead of
spending billions of dollars on building new reservoirs, let's talk about protecting one
of California's largest existing reservoirs - our groundwater..
Speech patterns have been found in a radio
signal released by NASA almost 3 years previously in 2004.
Judge for yourself what the voices are saying, it is a very bizarre anomaly but very much
worth investigating.
2)Open an audio editor like Cool Edit or
Sonar and raise the pitch/frequency of the file by 12 tones with the pitch shifter..
and there it is, speech patterns.
How can anyone explain this anomaly.
Certainly NASA have no explanation for it after we presented the file to them for their
opinion. SETI also dont know what make of it. What do you think?

Hollywood’s Push to Normalize Sex With Children
The vocal, sanctimonious Free-Polanski
uproar is merely a symptom of an entertainment culture infected with a moral cancer –
a culture that regularly practices up on the screen what we’ve heard them preach this
last week on behalf of a confessed child rapist.
