50 year mystery unraveled.

French bread spiked with LSD in CIA experiment
A 50-year mystery over the 'cursed bread' of Pont-Saint-Esprit, which left residents suffering hallucinations, has been solved after a writer discovered the US had spiked the bread with LSD as part of an experiment.

In 1951, a quiet, picturesque village in southern France was suddenly and mysteriously struck down with mass insanity and hallucinations. At least five people died, dozens were interned in asylums and hundreds afflicted.

BEFORE U READ KEEP IN MIND I RECEIVED THIS INFORMATION FROM AN EMAIL THERE IS NO SOURCE MENTIONED SO I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TRUE IT IS BUT FELT LIKE SHARING WITH U

Michael Jackson (MJ) was known as the most loving person in the world. He gave up most of his assets for charity and all his life, he fought for equality of the African Americans, AIDS victims, Against Drug Abuse, Against Abortion, Against Child Labor and secretlychannelled his properties for the hungry children of the world.

THE discovery of three American soldiers among the dead in a suicide bombing at the opening of a girls’ school in the northwestern Pakistan town of Dir last week reignited the fears of many Pakistanis that Washington was set on invading their country.

Barack Obama has banned the Bush-era term “war on terror” and dithered about sending extra troops to Afghanistan, but across the border in Pakistan, the US president has dramatically stepped up the covert war against Islamic extremists.

US airstrikes in Pakistan, launched from unmanned drones, are now averaging three a week, triple the number last year. “We're quietly seeing a geographical shift,” an intelligence officer said.

OK, here's the thing, the father of the nigerian would-be bomber notified the us embassy in nigeria about his son's suspected relations with al-qaeida and Yemen, the young man had his visa approved on june 2008 and valid through june 2010, yet NOBODY took an action against him !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

here's the link
http://news.yahoo.co...

NOW, two things,
the father is muslim, it's his own SON, yet he walked to the US embassy and informed them about his own son, that's the spirit.

Second: what the heck were US CIA doing when he took the flight?????
"officials spoke on condition of anonymity because neither was authorized to speak to the media"

WHY wouldn't they speak to the media????????

The Nevada gambler, al-Qaida, the CIA and the mother of all cons

The intelligence reports fitted the suspicions of the time: al-Qaida sleeper agents were scattered across the US awaiting orders that were broadcast in secret codes over the al-Jazeera television network.
Flights from Britain and France were cancelled. Officials warned of a looming "spectacular attack" to rival 9/11. In 2003 President Bush's homeland security tsar, Tom Ridge, spoke of a "credible source" whose information had US military bracing for a new terrorist onslaught.
Then suddenly no more was said.

Who’s Gaining the Most from the Clean Development Mechanism. . . .Qatar!?

By Katie Fehrenbacher

The Clean Development Mechanism — a market structure launched in early 2006 by the United Nations to help industrialized nations gain and trade credits from green projects created in developing nations — has been highly controversial. Many wonder if the projects are actually having positive effects in the local communities in which they are built. Well, according to a really interesting article in the Financial Times, which breaks down the amount of projects according to geography, at least one nation is getting more than its fair share of attention from the CDM program: Qatar.

KABUL, Afghanistan — Ahmed Wali Karzai, the brother of the Afghan president and a suspected player in the country’s booming illegal opium trade, gets regular payments from the Central Intelligence Agency, and has for much of the past eight years, according to current and former American officials.

The agency pays Mr. Karzai for a variety of services, including helping to recruit an Afghan paramilitary force that operates at the C.I.A.’s direction in and around the southern city of Kandahar, Mr. Karzai’s home.
