Afterlife exists says
top brain surgeon

Telegraph (UK), by Mark Hughes Original Article

Dr Eben Alexander, a Harvard-educated neurosurgeon, fell into a coma for seven days in 2008 after contracting meningitis. During his illness Dr Alexander says that the part of his brain which controls human thought and emotion "shut down" and that he then experienced "something so profound that it gave me a scientific reason to believe in consciousness after death." In an essay for American magazine Newsweek, which he wrote to promote his book Proof of Heaven, Dr Alexander says he was met by a beautiful blue-eyed woman in a "place of clouds, big fluffy pink-white ones" and "shimmering beings".

Labour 'used migrants
to keep wages low'

Daily Express [UK], by Martyn Brown Original Article

Posted By: Attercliffe- 10/10/2012 8:55:29 AM Post Reply

Labour fostered a policy of mass immigration to the UK in a deliberate attempt to keep British wages down, Theresa May said yesterday. The Home Secretary said Tony Blair and Gordon Brown’s open-door to immigration was part of a “covert” 21st century incomes policy. She said the plan failed because for every 100 non- European working age immigrants 23 fewer British-born workers found jobs. Tearing Labour’s record to shreds Mrs May vowed to slash net migration from 216,000 to tens of thousands within two years. She told the Tory conference:

Rich ‘Dad,’ bankrupt Dad

After a long, lucrative career writing financial self-help books and giving seminars, “Rich Dad Poor Dad” author Robert Kiyosaki has filed for bankruptcy for one of his companies after losing a $24 million court judgment. Kiyosaki’s Rich Global LLC filed for bankruptcy after being ordered to pay nearly $24 million to the Learning Annex and its founder and chairman, Bill Zanker. US District Judge Shira A. Scheindlin in April ordered Rich Global to pay up $23,687,957.21 after a jury ruled Kiyosaki must give the Learning Annex a percentage of his profits

Hate preacher Abu Hamza was officially charged as a terrorist yesterday in a US court where he refused to stand for the judge. His lawyer claimed Hamza would have difficulty rising from his seat because he did not have the use of prosthetic hands, after his infamous hooks were removed. He had no difficulty standing later to leave court. His lawyer said Hamza was experiencing “a hard time” in jail amid reports that he has to drink liquid food through a straw. There is now a legal debate about whether he will receive £10,000 rubber hands at US taxpayers’ expense.

AK-47s, grenade attacks, and a smoke-

the death of U.S. ambassador
Chris Stevens revealed

Daily Mail [UK], by Eddie Wrenn Original Article

The ambassador was locked inside a safe-room, choking to death from diesel-heavy smoke as the building around him burned to the ground. Alongside him was a security agent, tasked with the impossible choice between staying in the deadly room - or facing the rocket-propelled grenades and machine-guns outside. Eventually the agent slipped through the window - and was indeed cut down by the grenades. These were the final moments of U.S. ambassador Chris Stevens, killed during last month's deadly strike on the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya, and recounted this week in horrific detail by his surviving security team.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, the man who correctly predicted that Mitt Romney would win big at the last presidential debate, told radio talker Hugh Hewitt on Tuesday that expects see a “mean and angry” President Obama at the next two debates. “Here’s what happened — the president went into that debate unprepared and thought he was going to be swinging at a heavy bag,” Christie said of the last debate. “And he found out that Gov. Romney has arms and he was going to hit back.

Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) is setting his sights on his biggest political target yet: Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Issa, the chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, is treading more carefully than he did with his investigation of Attorney General Eric Holder and the Fast and Furious gun-tracking program, which led to a House vote placing Holder in contempt. Issa has not called on Clinton to testify at a hearing Wednesday morning meant to investigate security lapses at the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya.

Obama adviser: No plans
to change Big Bird ad

NBC News, by Eun Kyung Kim Original Article

A new Obama ad that has ruffled feathers by mockingly portraying Big Bird as a corporate villain will stay on the air, a senior Obama campaign adviser said Wednesday. “I don’t know of any plans to change that ad,” Robert Gibbs told TODAY’s Matt Lauer. The ad sarcastically compares the beloved Sesame Street character, the breakout star in last week's presidential debate, to major white-collar criminals and “gluttons of greed” Bernie Madoff, Kenneth Lay and others. But the organization behind Sesame Street asked the Obama campaign to take down the ad.

On Tuesday’s broadcast of Fox News Channel’s “Special Report,” Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer said that the Obama campaign’s “Big Bird” commercial is so bad that it will actually hurt President Barack Obama in November. “I hope they run it until the end of time,” Krauthammer said. “This could be the worst ad I’ve ever seen.” The 30-second spot takes aim at Romney for suggesting during last week’s presidential debate that federal funding for PBS, the network that produces “Sesame Street” and the character Big Bird, should be slashed.

Systemic Medicare Fraud Under
Houston's Sheila Jackson Lee

American Thinker, by M. Catharine Evans Original Article

Will Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee have to distance herself from Houston's Riverside General Hospital now that top administrators have been caught in a major Medicare fraud scam? Last week's roundup makes me wonder why the Obama administration is cracking down on Medicare/Medicaid fraud in the first place. Aren't they the ones shelling out hundreds of millions to their Solyndra-like cronies with no consequences? Is it to make them look tough on crime, or is it to make sure the recovered monies are going into their own wallets at the end of the day?

I taught at the University of Virginia for 25 years. During my time at UVA, I had three deans, and one of them was a black woman and an affirmative action hire. She turned out to be a disaster. Although the president made a mistake when he hired her, the full professors in my school made up their minds to do their best to help her out because it was in our school's interest for her to succeed. Regrettably, we couldn't help her because she wouldn't listen.

The pictures in the annual Army Photographic Competition have been taken by amateur and professional soldier cameramen and show troops in frontline action, on ceremonial occasions and taking part in sport. Many have been snapped in Afghanistan, while others have been taken on training exercises at home in the UK. The overall winning image shows British soldiers climbing on board an aircraft at the end of a joint mission with the Afghan army and was taken by Sergeant Mark Nesbit, 40, from Leeds

In an interview with former Gov. Jennifer Granholm (D-Mich.) on her Current TV show, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Cali) declared President Obama will win the election in November. The former Speaker of the House went as far to say speculating otherwise is "remote." The optimistic Pelosi also warned what a Romney presidency or Republican controlled Senate may look like and cautioned the party would "take us to a period before Lyndon Johnson." "This is a realm of speculation that is so remote," Pelosi said about the prospect of Romney winning.

Two men who were part of a gang which shot at a police helicopter as well as officers on the ground during last year’s riots have been jailed. Beniha Laing, 29, and Wesley Gray, 27, organised a mob which fired at the West Midlands Police helicopter after luring officers to the scene by firebombing a pub. They used violence that began in London after the police shooting of Mark Duggan and then flared around the country as an excuse to target police officers in a deliberate attempt to destroy the aircraft. The violence erupted in Birmingham when officers were

Worrying news for Israel:
the future of its 'Iron Dome'
missile defence system is at risk

Telegraph [UK], by Jake Wallis Simons Original Article

In March 2011, Israel’s Iron Dome missile interception system was deployed, after four years in the making. The intention was to form a protective canopy over the country, rendering its population centres as impregnable as possible to attacks from short-range artillery and rockets. But now, to the gall of many Israelis, the future of the system has been thrown into doubt. In terms of size, Israel is roughly comparable to Wales. This, together with the close proximity of a host of hostile neighbours, means that millions of Israelis live within easy range of artillery attack. During the Lebanon War

A Look at Chuck Todd and

I got a great laugh out of this Chuck Todd near meltdown on Meet the Depressed the other day. His voice quivered in moral outrage over Jack Welch suggesting something was up with the unemployment numbers last Friday. Chuck Todd proclaimed, “What we’re doing, we’re corroding trust in our government in a way, and one time responsible people are doing to control it. And the idea that Donald Trump and Jack Welch, rich people with crazy conspiracy, can get traction on this, is a bad trend.”

Too little too late, is the verdict of the brilliant Allister Heath on the Tories' near-non-existent recovery strategy. I'm 90 per cent with him. Like Allister, I believe that the Tory high command simply doesn't understand what radical action needs to be taken if there is to be any kind of meaningful economic recovery. (I loved the must-listen Jamie Whyte documentary on BBC Radio 4's Analysis programme the other night which showed that even the supposedly red-meat, new breed of Tory such as Matthew Hancock and Andrea Leadsom doesn't believe in the free market) We are still on the edge

WASHINGTON -- The State Department now says it never believed the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, was a film protest gone awry, giving congressional Republicans new fodder for criticizing the Obama administration's initial accounts of the assault.The State Department's extraordinary break with other administration offices came in a department briefing Tuesday, where officials said "others" in the executive branch concluded initially that the protest was based, like others in the Middle East, on a film that ridiculed the Prophet Muhammad

Number of Protestant Americans

For the first time since researchers began tracking the religious identity of Americans, fewer than half said they were Protestants, a steep decline from 40 years ago when Protestant churches claimed the loyalty of more than two-thirds of the population. A new study released on Tuesday by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life found that it was not just liberal mainline Protestants, like Methodists or Episcopalians, who abandoned their faith, but also more conservative evangelical and “born again” Protestants.

The tale of Asimco Technologies, an auto parts manufacturer whose plants dot eastern China, would seem to underscore Mitt Romney’s campaign-trail complaint that China’s manufacturing juggernaut is costing America jobs. Nine years ago, the company bought two camshaft factories that employed about 500 people in Michigan. By 2007 both were shut down.

Who needs the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), when you have Rush Limbaugh? Limbaugh predicted almost a year ago that the unemployment rate reported last Friday would fall below 8% for the first time since Obama entered office. Limbaugh by his own admission is no economist. So how did he know? Maybe because we are in the realm of politics now, rather than economics. How Stupid Do They Think We Are? The BLS reported last Friday that the economy in September created all of 114,000 net new jobs, just 104,000 in the private sector.

A few months ago, Thursday’s vice-presidential debate between Paul Ryan and Joe Biden had all the anticipation of a Meet the Press face-off between James Carville and Mary Matalin: high-profile surrogates to the campaign slinging mud and talking points with little chance of shifting an election whose results seemed increasingly clear. But a bumbling President Obama at last week’s debate has breathed new life into the Romney campaign and turned the Ryan-Biden debate into Slugfest, Part II. “The vice-presidential debate can stop the freefall of the incumbent,” said Kathleen Hall Jamieson, director of the University of Pennsylvania’s Annenberg Center

Having been routed in the first debate, President Obama has found a comeback strategy: Fly Big Bird. Specifically, mock Mitt Romney's call to cut federal subsidies for the millionaires at the Sesame Workshop and pledge to defend the Public Broadcasting Service no matter how much money the Treasury has to borrow. At least he's finally discovered a second-term agenda. On Monday night in San Francisco, Mr. Obama claimed Mr. Romney "said he'd bring down our deficit by going after what has been the biggest driver of our debt and deficits over the last decade—public television, PBS.

When Will Obama

Libya’s prime minister-elect Mustafa Abushagur — who was voted in on Sept. 12 — was removed in a no-confidence vote on Sunday. As the Washington Post reports, this could mean further delays for the FBI investigation into the Benghazi attack: The decision by Libya’s legislature means that the government may remain without permanent, democratically-elected leadership for many weeks. But without a government in place, the investigation into the attacks that killed U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three other Americans may be a low priority for Libyans.

It was in Denver one week ago that the long-running romance between Barack Obama and the national press -- aka the "Slobbering Love Affair," as Bernard Goldberg put it -- hit the wall. The motel bill, unpaid these many long months and ages, at long last came due. It had been the real thing, not a commonplace fling with your generic Democrat, but the love of a lifetime, the genuine article, the sum of all dreams: He was not just a Democrat, he was also a liberal. He was not just a liberal, he also biracial,
