4 Caban, 5 Kayab, 4 Eb
Selamat Gajun! Selamat Ja! (Sirian for, Be One! and, Be in Joy!) We come with more to discuss with you. As ever, our Earth allies are progressing well with their strategies to deliver your prosperity to you as soon as possible. We are unable to go further into detail at this time as this information is not available to the general public, and all parties to these activities are under a severe non-disclosure injunction enforced by our Earth allies. All we can comment on is the overall goals of these numerous operations. The dark cabalists are now fighting desperately to maintain their power, wealth, and prestige. On all fronts their power base is being challenged to the full by the diverse elements that make up our Earth allies. We can definitely state that our allies are moving forward, with all major written agreements now signed and countersigned by the key governmental, banking, and corporate groups involved in both the delivery operations and the formal exchanges of governmental power. Very few items remain to be tied up. Accordingly, we can say that the time for these actions and for the announcements is very close.

Bacterias muestran comportamientos anticipatorios

http://www.tendencias21.net/notes/Las-bacterias-muestran-comportamientos-anticipatorios_b1441047.html
http://elproyectomatriz.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/bacterias.jpg
Las bacterias pueden anticipar eventos futuros y prepararse para ellos, señala una investigación realizada por el Instituto de Ciencias Weizmann, en Israel.
Los científicos han demostrado que la bacteria Escherichia coli, generalmente presente en los intestinos de los animales, se encuentra en sus recorridos por éstos con diversos entornos a los que se adapta con anticipación. Por ejemplo, esta bacteria suele hallar un tipo de azúcar –lactosa- que invariablemente va seguido de la aparición de un segundo azúcar, la maltosa.
Lo que los investigadores han constatado es que, genéticamente, las bacterias están preparadas para estos cambios constantes. Así, cuando se encuentran con la lactosa, se activa la respuesta genética necesaria para digerirla, pero también se activa parcialmente la red de genes necesaria para la digestión de la maltosa, que acto seguido aparecerá.

Rutgers Professor Warns Geoengineering Could “Create Disasters,” Global Famine

·National Academy of Sciences debates spraying aerosols into upper stratosphere to combat global warming.
http://www.prisonplanet.com/rutgers-professor-warns-geoengineering-could-create-disasters-global-famine.html
http://www.prisonplanet.com/images/june2009/170609top2.jpg
Debate surrounding the possibility of geoengineering the earth’s climate by lining the atmosphere with aerosol particles has moved from idle speculation to serious consideration, and was a core topic of discussion at a recent National Academy of Sciences workshop.
However, a top Rutgers University professor warned at the meeting that tampering with the planet’s delicate ecosystem could create famines and droughts, threatening the lives of no less than a third of the world’s population.
The plan to shoot aerosols - dust particles - into the earth’s upper stratosphere in an attempt to cool the planet and offset the purported effects of global warming, should be considered as an “emergency response” to a climate crisis, according to Harvard University’s Dan Schrag, who told the workshop that such a crisis was already underway.
[...]
According to an NPR report on the meeting, University of Calgary’s David Keith urged the introduction of geoengineering experiments on a global scale and that they should be conducted “sooner rather than later”.
[...]
As we have previously highlighted, discussions regarding the possibility of “geo-engineering” the earth’s climate to counter global warming by “shooting pollution particles into the upper atmosphere to reflect the sun’s rays” has stoked fresh concerns that similar programs are already underway, and that chemtrails are directly connected to such experimentation.
[...]
Last year, a KSLA news investigation found that a substance that fell to earth from a high altitude chemtrail contained high levels of Barium (6.8 ppm) and Lead (8.2 ppm) as well as trace amounts of other chemicals including arsenic, chromium, cadmium, selenium and silver. Of these, all but one are metals, some are toxic while several are rarely or never found in nature. The newscast focuses on Barium, which its research shows is a “hallmark of chemtrails.” KSLA found Barium levels in its samples at 6.8 ppm or “more than six times the toxic level set by the EPA.”
[...]
As we covered in a previous in-depth report, numerous universities and government agencies have been conducting studies in the field of geoengineering for years.
[...]
In a document entitled Geoengineering: Workshop on Unilateral Planetary Scale Geoengineering, the CFR proposes different methods of “reflecting sunlight back into space,” which include adding “small reflecting particles in the upper part of the atmosphere,” adding “more clouds in the lower part of the atmosphere,” and placing “various kinds of reflecting objects in space either near the earth or at a stable location between the earth and the sun.”
The proposals in the CFR document match exactly the atmospheric effects observed in the aftermath of chemtrail spraying.

Government's Plan - Kill Independent Web Sites

http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread473880/pg1
http://www.elliot.cat/gomi/mass_media.jpg
"They" are scared -- scared of the seismic shift in media. The power lost by the media giants is terrifying. Well-established filters of information, painstakingly crafted over decades of manipulation and control, are being shattered by small independent web sites. "Free speech" has secretly been a right granted only to the chosen few who play the game and contribute to political campaigns.
"They" are panic-striken -- in a panic over you, the millions of people being given free reign to say what you want on web sites outside the traditional channels of control. To "them", "free speech" is an abstract concept not intended to be entrusted to anyone with a computer and a keyboard. You do not play the game, you are a disruptor, you are unwanted, you must be removed.
Who are "they" and "them"? The government, of course. But more specifically, the representatives and senators living in the back-pockets of media and telecommunications giants -- with a smattering of the stunningly small number of power-weilders fixated on rolling back to a mix of media that can be controlled and manipulated to feed you the mental pabulum that keeps you sedated.

Review Panel Hears Rival Plans for New Spaceflights

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/18/science/space/18nasa.html?_r=1&hpw
http://noticiastech.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/nasa.png
NASA’s goal is to return to space after the retirement of the shuttles next year, but a panel reviewing the agency’s human spaceflight program heard very different ideas Wednesday on how to get there.
In dueling PowerPoint presentations before the 10-member panel, appointed by the Obama administration in April, NASA officials defended their progress in developing the next generation of rockets, while challengers said that they could do the job more quickly and less expensively.
[...]
The Delta IV Heavy rocket, which carries satellites into orbit for the military and other customers, could be upgraded for astronauts and perform the tasks of Ares I. The Delta IV would be safer and cheaper and could be ready in 2014, Mr. Gass said.
A NASA-commissioned study by the Aerospace Corporation concluded that the Delta IV could replace the Ares I, possibly at lower cost, but raised questions of how to move beyond low Earth orbit.
The Aerospace study also concluded that upgrading the Delta IV to carry astronauts would take five and a half to seven years, although on Wednesday several members of the panel appeared skeptical that it would take that long.

Boss-class hypocrisy

The novelty of the economic crisis has been a series of schemes encouraging staff to take unpaid leave, salary reduction or to work for a month without money as an alternative to being laid off. In the most high-profile example, British Airways has won substantial pay cuts from its pilots while encouraging other staff to work gratis for part of the year.
[...]
At the risk of encouraging my employers and enraging my agent, I[Mark Lawson] probably would be prepared, having had some very good and lucky years, to do much the same work next year for less than the fees paid this. But I would agree to this from the visceral, Dickensian fear of all employees that the workhouse looms as the alternative, and would nurse the angry suspicion that the superiors benefitting from our sacrifices were not suffering as much themselves. When the upturn comes, will they raise the payments or smirkingly continue with a cheaper workforce? (The BA pilots have at least been given shares as the price of their privation.)

Mr Zahedani is part of an informal online network across Southern California working to support the protesters on the streets and broadcast their message to the world.

A guerrilla war of slogans and strategies has played out on Twitter and websites such as YouTube as protesters have sought to get round the Iranian Government’s efforts to shut down communications outlets. Iranians in California are determined to do their bit to make sure that the censors do not win. Web-savvy supporters have pitched in to give technical support to those in the homeland trying to get round the blocks.
[...]
They have set up proxy servers, which can help to bypass censorship by hiding the identity and location of users. Hundreds of proxy servers all around the world have been set up for use inside Iran and, as they have been shut down, others have popped up.
One blogger put up an “Iran Election Cyberwarfare Guide” detailing how activists could support Iranian tweeters. Advice included: “Help cover the bloggers: change your twitter settings so that your location is Tehran and your time zone is GMT +3.30. Security forces are hunting for bloggers using location and timezone searches. If we all become Iranians, it becomes much harder to find them.”

Científicos de Colorado encuentran pruebas de que hubo lagos en Marte

·Según los expertos, "es la primera prueba sin ambigüedades de orillas en la superficie de marte" [Primera?].

http://www.fourth-millennium.net/space-exploration/ice-in-crater-mars-express.jpg
Un equipo de investigadores de la Universidad de Colorado afirma que ha encontrado las primeras pruebas concluyentes de la existencia de orillas de un lago que existió en Marte.
Los científicos calculan que el lago existió hace más de 3.000 millones de años, cubría unos 205 kilómetros cuadrados y tenía una profundidad de hasta 450 metros, dijo Gaetano Di Achille, quien encabezó el estudio.
La vida, tal como ahora la conocen los humanos, requiere la presencia de agua por lo que la existencia de un lago refuerza la posibilidad de que pudieran existir formas de vida en el planeta rojo.
[...]
Un análisis de las imágenes indica que el agua excavó un cañón de unos 48 kilómetros de largo que se abría a un valle y depositó sedimentos que formaron un extenso delta, según los científicos.
[...]
Además, las imágenes muestran que el lago existió durante una época en la cual, según los científicos, Marte fue un planeta frío y seco. “Esta investigación no sólo prueba que hubo un sistema de lagos en Marte durante un largo tiempo, sino que también podemos ver que el lago se formó después de que se disipó el período cálido y húmedo”, según Hynek.

Obama aumenta el poder[!!!] de la Fed sobre las firmas financieras

·El banco central americano controlará el riesgo de la banca y las reservas de capital.
·La Casa Blanca crea una agencia de defensa de los consumidores.

http://www.elperiodico.com/default.asp?idpublicacio_PK=46&idioma=CAs&idnoticia_PK=622308&idseccio_PK=1009
http://mercadohoy.files.wordpress.com/2008/12/fed.jpg[Wow! El de la Fed debe de ser el único edificio de EEUU que no luce la
popularísima bandera de
The United States of América!]


La Casa Blanca lo ha definido como la mayor reforma del sistema financiero desde los años 30, acorde con el tamaño de la crisis actual. El presidente de EEUU, Barack Obama, definió ayer un poco más su plan de regulación de los mercados financieros con el que busca restaurar la confianza en el sistema, evitar que una crisis como la actual vuelva a suceder y dotar al país de un sistema de control más parecido al europeo. La Reserva Federal (Fed) tendrá más poder para supervisar e intervenir en los mercados, las firmas financieras se someterán a más control público; el plan crea una nueva agencia de protección de los consumidores y aboga por una mayor transparencia en las normas tanto internas como internacionales.

El proyecto, que deberá ser aprobado en el Congreso, parte de un diagnóstico de la crisis basado en que el «dinero fácil», en palabras de Obama, que se generó con los sofisticados productos financieros acarreó una era de «irresponsabilidad» que las autoridades no supieron, pudieron o quisieron atajar. «Muchos americanos compraron casas y pidieron prestado dinero sin ser informados de forma adecuada y a menudo sin aceptar sus responsabilidades», dijo el presidente, que añadió que los reguladores carecían de la autoridad para tomar decisiones.
COMPETENCIAS / Por eso, el primer pilar de la reforma es aumentar las competencias de la Fed que, por «primera vez» según Obama, supervisará el sistema financiero en su totalidad y no se limitará a controlar a cada uno de los actores. Así, la Fed tendrá mayor autoridad para controlar las firmas financieras y ejercerá la potestad de intervenir e incluso desmantelar las entidades que supongan un riesgo para el sistema financiero. La Fed marcará las reservas de capital que deben tener los bancos y podrá limitar su capacidad para llevar a cabo inversiones de riesgo. También establecerá las reglas del mercado de derivados.
VACÍOS LEGALES / El segundo punto, y uno de los más novedosos en EEUU, es la creación de una agencia de protección del consumidor que regulará las relaciones entre las firmas financieras y los titulares de créditos, hipotecas, tarjetas de crédito y otros productos financieros. La agencia impondrá las normas y podrá castigar a las entidades que las incumplan. «Esta nueva agencia tendrá el poder de fijar estándares de forma que las compañías compitan al ofrecer productos innovadores que los consumidores [... réquiem por la palabra 'ciudadano' ...] de hecho quieran y entiendan», subrayó Obama.
Una de las primeras medidas que tomará es imponer un tipo de crédito sin vericuetos (algo así como una hipoteca a 30 años con interés fijo) para ofrecer la posibilidad de comprar un producto menos rentable pero también sin sorpresas.
El tercer aspecto que destacó Obama es el cierre de los vacíos legales en el entramado regulatorio, inapropiado para la economía del siglo XXI. El Gobierno quiere impulsar el mismo tipo de nueva regulación a nivel internacional por el carácter global de las finanzas [NWO???].

La Comisión Europea (CE) ha vuelto a expresar hoy la necesidad de internacionalizar los organismos que regulan internet y ha pedido que la entidad que gestiona los dominios, Icann, no rinda cuentas solo al Gobierno de EEUU.
El contrato de Icann, que fue creado en 1998 como un organismo autónomo y privado pero ligado por contrato al Gobierno estadounidense, expira el próximo 30 de septiembre y Bruselas considera que es una buena ocasión para reflexionar sobre "el papel esencial que la red mundial desempeña en todos los países". La comisaria de Sociedad de la Información, Viviane Reding, propone crear un G-12 para gestionar internet en el junto al presidente del Icann intervengan dos representantes de América del Norte, del Sur, Europa y África y tres para Asia y Australia.
La comisaria de Sociedad de la Información y Medios de Comunicación de la UE, Viviane Reding, ha instado a EEUU a conseguir que Icann se convierta "en una organización plenamente independiente y responsable ante la comunidad mundial de Internet". Actualmente, el Gobierno estadounidense es el único que puede supervisar oficialmente las políticas y actividades de ICANN.

La ministra de Sanidad y Política Social, Trinidad Jiménez, ha anunciado que España contará en 2012 con la primera planta para fabricar la vacuna de la gripe estacional y de la A (H1N1), que se ubicará en el parque tecnológico de Granada.
La planta se creará gracias a un acuerdo entre la Junta de Andalucía, los laboratorios Rovi y el Gobierno, cuyo convenio está "pendiente de firma", ha señalado la ministra a la prensa antes de comparecer en la Comisión de Sanidad del Senado.
En virtud del acuerdo, el Gobierno abrirá una línea de crédito especial, que supone una inversión de 75 millones de euros, explicó Jiménez, que calificó la iniciativa de "gran paso adelante" porque la instalación dotará a España de "suficiencia" en materia de vacunas.

Workers to break ground on New Mexico spaceport

The wide-open desert of southern New Mexico has long been a key passageway: Spanish conquistadors used it to settle North America, and wagon trains and railroads rattled through on their way to California.
Today, New Mexico is hoping the forgotten stretch of cattle ranches and mountain ranges will become a gateway to space.
Gov. Bill Richardson and others are preparing to break ground Friday on construction of a terminal and hangar facility at the world's first commercial spaceport built with the idea of launching private citizens into space for profit. Some 250 people are lining up to pay $200,000 each to take the trip as early as next year.
It's called Spaceport America, a $200 million taxpayer-funded project where the sky is not the limit. From the 10,000-foot runway, spacecraft will take flight attached to an airplane, then break free and rocket 62 miles into space before returning to the facility. The flights will last about two hours and include five minutes of weightlessness.
Science fiction? Not by any stretch.

No new clues on causes of Air France crash

French investigators have no further clues on what caused the crash of an Air France jetliner in the Atlantic two weeks ago, the head of France's investigation agency said on Wednesday.
More information might be available in the coming days, Paul-Louis Arslanian told reporters, urging the public to show "a lot of patience" while the search for wreckage and bodies continued in the Atlantic Ocean.
He was speaking at a news conference on the search efforts and what investigators called "unfavorable conditions" in the remote area of ocean where the Airbus A330 crashed en route from Brazil to Paris on June 1[June 1? 2 weeks have passed already... Any explanation, after so much time has passed, has to be looked at with suspicion!].
The investigation agency has so far said data transmitted from the plane before it crashed indicated unreliable speed readings from the aircraft's sensors, but that it was too early to say whether this contributed to the accident.
All 228 people on board the plane died in the crash, making it the worst disaster in the history of Air France.

New Glimpses of Life’s Puzzling Origins

http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2009/06/16/science/16origins-600.jpg
[...]
The origins of life on Earth bristle with puzzle and paradox. Which came first, the proteins of living cells or the genetic information that makes them? How could the metabolism of living things get started without an enclosing membrane to keep all the necessary chemicals together? But if life started inside a cell membrane, how did the necessary nutrients get in?
The questions may seem moot, since life did start somehow. But for the small group of researchers who insist on learning exactly how it started, frustration has abounded. Many once-promising leads have led only to years of wasted effort. Scientists as eminent as Francis Crick, the chief theorist of molecular biology, have quietly suggested that life may have formed elsewhere before seeding the planet, so hard does it seem to find a plausible explanation for its emergence on Earth.

F.D.A. Warns Against Use of Popular Cold Remedy

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/17/health/policy/17nasal.html?_r=1&hp
http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2009/06/17/health/17nasal190.jpg
Federal drug regulators warned consumers to stop using Zicam, a popular homeopathic cold remedy, because it could damage or destroy their sense of smell.
The action is an early indication that the Obama administration is likely to take far more aggressive enforcement actions against drug companies than the Bush administration did.
The Food and Drug Administration received 130 reports from consumers and doctors of people losing their sense of smell after using one of the Zicam nasal products, which include Zicam Cold Remedy and Zicam Cold Remedy Swabs. The reports date to 1999, when Matrixx Initiatives of Scottsdale, Ariz., first introduced the products.
In 2006, Matrixx paid $12 million to settle 340 lawsuits from Zicam users who claimed that the product destroyed their sense of smell, a condition known as anosmia. Hundreds more such suits have since been filed.

Clean-energy windmills a 'dirty business' for farmers in Mexico

http://www.usatoday.com/money/industries/energy/environment/2009-06-16-mexico-wind-power_N.htm

The windmills stand in rows like an army of Goliaths, steel towers taller than the Statue of Liberty and topped with blades as long as a jetliner's wing. The blades whoosh through the humid air, carving energy from a wind that rushes across Mexico's Isthmus of Tehuantepec on its journey from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific Ocean. Nearly every day, another tower rises out of the countryside.
The isthmus — Mexico's narrowest point — is becoming the Saudi Arabia of alternative energy as U.S. and European companies, emboldened by new technology and high oil prices, rush to stake their claims in one of the world's windiest places. The Mexican government wants the isthmus to produce 2,500 megawatts within three years, a goal that will require thousands of windmills and would catapult Mexico into the top 12 producers of wind energy.
"This is one of the finest wind areas in the world, and they are being very ambitious about developing it," said Martin Pasqualetti, an expert on renewable energy at Arizona State University who has studied the region. "They're trying to do in five years what California took 35 years to do."

Gold sold like chocolate from German vending machines

·Shoppers in Germany will soon be able to buy gold as easily as bars of chocolate after a firm announced plans to install vending machines selling the precious metal across the country.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/financetopics/financialcrisis/5554972/Gold-sold-like-chocolate-from-German-vending-machines.html

TG-Gold-Super-Markt aims to introduce the machines at 500 locations including train stations and airports in Germany.
The company, based near Stuttgart, hopes to tap into the increasing interest in buying gold following disillusionment in other investments due to the economic downturn.
Gold prices from the machines – about 30 per cent higher than market prices for the cheapest product – will be updated every few minutes.
Customers using a prototype "Gold to go" machine at Frankfurt Airport on Tuesday had the choice of purchasing a 1g wafer of gold for €30, a 10g bar for €245, or gold coins.
