Now lets get rid of fuller airport scanners in North America
Europe pulls the plug on airport scanners
Full-body scanners fail another test
It's nice to see a government finally admit that the full-body scanners used in airports are pointless and dangerous — but don't get too excited here.
It's not our government, after all. (Did you really think it would be?)
It's the European Union, where they've pulled the plug on the invasive, intrusive, cancer-causing machines that use radiation to snap a naked photo of you for low-wage security goons to giggle over like kids at a junior high slumber party.
Well, the party's over — the last of the machines are being wheeled out of European airports as you read this, probably to begin a new life as a soda machine somewhere.
If it glows, don't drink it.
The Europeans didn't say why they're ditching the machines, but there's no shortage of reasons. Let's start with the obvious: They just don't work.
Full-body scanners have flunked every test thrown their way. They can't detect certain types of explosives… can't detect explosives carried a certain way… and in one shocking experiment, an undercover federal agent managed to sneak through with a gun FIVE TIMES IN FIVE TRIES.
But it's one thing to be simply invasive and ineffective. It's quite another to be dangerous — and while security officials in Washington claim the low doses of radiation used by the machines are safe, medical officials and common sense say otherwise.
One expert, Columbia University's Dr. David Brenner, says the doses delivered by the machines are 20 times higher than what the feds had claimed. Other experts have predicted that the widespread use of full-body scanners will cause hundreds of new cases of cancer every year.
And that's assuming they're working right.
No electronic device works right 100 percent of the time — but at least when your TV goes on the fritz, the worst that can happen is you miss the latest episode of Homeland. When a full-body scanner malfunctions, you get blasted with a higher — and potentially lethal — dose of radiation.
Throw in the fact that these machines are being maintained, calibrated, and operated by government employees with a fifth-grade education, and I say it's time to make like a European and scrap the scanners here — before it's too late.

Whistleblower report -104 million reasons to do the righ thing
UBS Whistleblower Gets $104M for Shattering Swiss Banking Secrecy
Topics:
Jesselyn Radack – September 11, 2012
After recent rumors of a turnaround for financial whistleblowers seeking rewards under the Internal Revenue Service's (IRS) whistleblower reward program, it is fitting that one of its rare financial awards goes to United Swiss Bank (UBS) whistleblower Bradley Birkenfeld.
Not only is Birkenfeld the biggest tax fraud whistleblower in history (who handed the IRS key information on a silver platter), but he is especially deserving as he is the only person to go to prison among the thousands of Swiss bank account tax cheats he exposed. (Easy to understand now that we have a presidential candidate who hides money in offshore tax havens.)
Birkenfeld was released from prison in August after an usually harsh sentence. Despite the fact that Birkenfeld shattered 75 years of Swiss bank secrecy when he approached investigators about a UBS tax evasion service involving thousands of illegal offshore accounts – held by some of your favorite actors, politicians, and sports figures – and billions of U.S. dollars.
Instead of targeting UBS kingpin Martin Liechti, the Justice Department turned on Birkenfeld. To add insult to injury, the prosecutor, Kevin Downing, is now in private practice at Miller & Chevalier defending the very tax cheats Birkenfeld turned in.
Until recently, to say the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) had been slow to implement the IRS whistleblower reward program would have been an understatement. The IRS' implementation (or lack thereof) was so extreme that this summer it caused longtime whistleblower supporter Charles Grassley (R-IA) to object to two Department of Treasury nominees.
The award for Birkenfeld marks a much-needed turnaround for the IRS' whistleblower office, and will hopefully encourage other financial whistleblowers to come forward.
I wrote extensively about Birkenfeld's case during his prosecution and sentencing (here, here, here, and here). After complaining internally to UBS for two years, in June 2007 Birkenfeld voluntarily met with Justice Department prosecutors and an IRS Special Agent during three full days in which he provided unprecedented and voluminous information about UBS's cross-border and offshore business activities, the UBS offices and private bankers that were directly involved, and the details of 19,000 UBS accounts for its American customers.
Birkenfeld had the potential to change an entire industry designed to evade U.S. taxes. Instead, the U.S. has been soft on UBS: letting bank kingpin Martin Liechti go free; under-fining the bank only $780 million for a multi-billion dollar fraud; settling for only 4,500 customer names of the 52,000 our government originally sought; and setting up an amateurish amnesty program that allowed the worst offenders to avoid criminal liability by paying fines.
But worse, the Justice Department's treatment of Birkenfeld is chilling would-be financial whistleblowers from coming forward, and will continue to do so for decades, to the detriment of the U.S. economy and all taxpayers – something that should be inconceivable during a global financial crisis.
The award for Birkenfeld is hopefully just the beginning for the burgeoning IRS whistleblower reward program, which, by encouraging disclosures from financial whistleblowers, will likely save the taxpayers billions.

What the consequences - nuclear radiation?
The world and everyone in it is not too concerned and I guess the bottom line is we all have the right to shrug off dangers that we can do little-to-nothing about anyway.
Though it does make sense to avoid exposure whenever possible there are severe limits in that our civilization is actually structured on many dangerous forms of technology on which we have all become dependent.
Many nuclear plants are built right on top of fault lines, so they are truly "structured on danger"—they are expensive accidents just waiting to happen.
Gunderson says it's going to cost Japan half a trillion dollars to stabilize Fukushima.

Lessons from Athens revisted -food for thought
Lessons from the past with warnings for the future
In 1887 Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the University of Edinburgh, had this to say about the fall of the Athenian Republic some 2,000 years prior:
" A democracy is always temporary in nature ; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury .
From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse over loose fiscal policy, (which is) always followed by a dictatorship ."
" The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence:
- From bondage to spiritual faith;
- From spiritual faith to great courage;
- From courage to Liberty
- From liberty to abundance
- From abundance to complacency; (Remember Wallstreet)
- From complacency to apathy; (Hello America)
- From apathy to dependence;
- From dependence back into bondage."
How do these eight recurring phases relate to the world we live in ? In which human development phase or cycle are we in and how can we get back to liberty , individual well being and abundance ? Is the earth and our body politic sick and what healing protocols and actions can we do ,act upon to make it healthy or regain its health? As human beings with free will and choice that is a on going challenge which we face.
Do we need a rebirth of our natural rights as human beings ? Do we have the courage to regain our freedoms from those that create scarcity and dependency for their own self gain through force or war? Can we evolve and prosper past the 200 year Tyler benchmark?
The choice is ours to make. What treatments do you propose to heal our body politic from toxic or cancerous practises that are killing our vitality and soul as a human community ?
Condition ( Tylers Protocol) | Common symptons (HIS) | Treatments ( your call) |
1 Bondage/slavery | no free will no say no choice |
|
2 spiritual faith | A being's appeal to a higher authority or belief - 10 commandments -hope for betterment through natural law and justice |
|
3 courage | personal accountability and the ability to act selflessly for the good |
|
4 liberty | personal choice and freedom to do good |
|
5 abundance | personal initiatives to grow the common good with few restrictions -laws of economic selection prevail |
|
6 complacency | others responsible for status quo with protective restrictions |
|
7 apathy | others will protect me with equality through legal force |
|
8 dependence | entitlement/ special bribes gone mad through legal force and ther monopoly of special rights . Special enforcement squads ensure compliance |
|
What can we learn from bad policy and the silli toxic laws that they create -the common criminalization strategy or legal enforced medical drug sterilization compliance strategy gone roque and bad .The war on the natural universal rights of human beings and the earth we live in can be illustrated by : .
The case of industrial hemp - a solution outlawed for 65 years
Why are 7 major industries deprived of a potentially abundant local non toxic renewable green feedstock that could be produced at a fraction of the price of scarce ingredients that could be replaced ? In the case of industrial hemp.- .What is 65 years of artificial prohibition worth to the 7 industries impacted ? Why are these industries and the user of their products the real victims of the prohibition or the " artificial war on drugs"? ( Please note industrial hemp has no narcotic value . Knowledge can stop the common fear and false flag mongering )
Using the standard cost benefit protocols or the natural economic law of selection or substitution, -what is the cost to the economy in terms of product sales , product jobs, and product taxes?
Where is the win -win -win in this toxic artificial prohibition of a major natural "non GMO " renewable crop with a positive past record of performance ? Is the solution to courageously repeal this law ? Can we regain our economic prominence and natural local stature through intellectual integrity ,brains and brawn ,while righting a artificial wrong that is consuming limited public resources and placing the law in disrespect and logic contempt?
How can we do this safely for our community benefit ? People -my fellow human beings -please think ,care and respond to the challenges at hand . S.Holle

The rise and fall of empire and their stages of rise and decline - a brain jog revisited
Here is one you might find interesting and its implication for today

As applied to the USA elections
The Obituary follows: Born 1776, Died 2012 It doesn't hurt to read this several times.
Professor Joseph Olson of Hamline University School of Law in St. Paul, Minnesota, points out some interesting facts concerning the last Presidential election:
Number of States won by: Obama: 19 McCain: 29 Square miles of land won by: Obama: 580,000 - McCain: 2,427,000 Population of counties won by: Obama: 127 million McCain: 143 million Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Obama: 13.2 McCain: 2.1
Professor Olson adds:
"In aggregate, the map of the territory McCain won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of the country. Obama territory mostly encompassed those "citizens living in low income tenements and living off various forms of government welfare." Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the "complacency and apathy" phase of Professor Tyler's definition of democracy, with some forty percent of the nation's population already having reached the "governmental dependency" phase. If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million criminal invaders called illegals - and they vote - then we can say goodbye to the USA in fewer than five years. Are these facts or an organized negative plot against Obama ?My initials are MR and I approve these facts
