Bunch of Updates...

Just a few random thoughts:

Net problems
I have had issues getting to many of my prime info sites over the last few days, with several of them being blatantly censored for supposed 'hate speech'. Supposedly two major internet companies are warring.

This may account for most of it, but just remember that this medium has a limited shelf life for free speech as many of the powers-that-be discuss internet 2 and handing control over to either the U.N. or some other domineering sub-agency.

Speaking of Internet.... Bill O'Reilly came out bashing bloggers the other night. Here is the exchange:
AUTHOR BERNARD GOLDBERG: There are some conservatives on the list [”100 People Who Are Screwing Up America”], but there are mostly liberals. And when they could write unanimously on the Web, you know, a review or post.

O’REILLY: Blogs. I don’t even read them. I mean, it’s so outrageous.

GOLDBERG: It’s beyond — it’s beyond vile.

O’REILLY: Let’s go to the — look, that’s just a waste of time. You shouldn’t even read it. It’s garbage. Nobody cares about it. Everybody knows the simpletons who are doing it are cowards and they don’t have any influence. [7/18/05]

* FDA may approve cloned meat for consumption

As if we don't have enough issues already playing God, now we have to eat it too? I found this incredibly disturbing,
"...it has recently become clear that a few offspring of cloned pigs and cows are already trickling into the food supply."
Equally disturbing is this -
"Studies have shown that meat and milk from clones can't be distinguished from that of normal animals, although work is not complete and researchers say that clones do suffer subtle genetic abnormalities"
Soylent Green anyone?

*Americans may vote by telephone -
Bad, bad, bad idea. As if the system isn't taint-able enough already, we need to anonymize things even further?

* Spanish Flu recreated -
What is this bad idea day? This story is actually quite old as it was reported quite some time ago that scientists had extracted the virus from a person who had been preserved in ice at a whaling station in the arctic. I believe it is possible that the 'killer bug' that is coming could be a genetically engineered copy of the Spanish Flu that would be blamed on the Avian Flu.

This was going to be part of a larger update that I had written, but forgot to save. But hot on the heels of Avian Flu panic, come Bush calling for the imposition of 'Bird Flu quarantines'.

* Crude oil has dropped below $60 a barrel and natural gas rose 1.6 cents.
I believe that this is to allow many of the globalist to purchase supplies at a lower price. This will last a limited time, but the price will begin to shoot up again after we slap either Iran or Syria.
