independence, and it wouldn't put Congress in charge of monetary policy. An audit is simply an examination of records or financial accounts to check their accuracy. We must not equate "independence" with secrecy. No matter how intelligent or well-intentioned the Fed chairman and his staff may be, it isn't appropriate to give a handful of people the power to lend an unlimited supply of money to anyone it wants without sufficient oversight. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. The American people have a right to know what is being done with their hard-earned taxpayer dollars. This money does not belong to the Fed; it belongs to the American people. ad_icon BERNARD SANDERS U.S. Senator (I-Vt.) Washington The writer is the sponsor of the Federal Reserve Sunshine Act. Tuesday, July 28, 2009 Regarding the July 24 editorial "Focus on the Fed": What a sad day for a newspaper with a storied reputation for exposing waste, fraud and abuse in government, to oppose the Federal Reserve Sunshine Act, legislation that would simply increase transparency at the Federal Reserve. The Fed has expanded its balance sheet by more than $1 trillion in taxpayer dollars in response to the financial crisis. Who received this money? Is it being used primarily to help ordinary Americans or just the wealthy and well-connected? What conflicts of interest exist between members of the Fed and Wall Street bankers? This is all information that the American people deserve to know. The Fed isn't answering these questions. That is why an independent audit of the Fed is gaining such bipartisan support. This legislation wouldn't undermine the Fed's

# Most mercury exposure in humans is either from dental amalgams or fish consumption. Each contains distinct types of mercury. Humans also process each differently and have different tolerances for them. ELEMENTAL MERCURY: Dental amalgams contain pure mercury, which emits vapors. Mercury vapor enters the body through the lungs, and 80 percent of inhaled vapors are absorbed. Elemental mercury that happens to be swallowed quickly passes through the body, as "negligible" amounts are absorbed through the digestive system. # METHYLMERCURY: This is a type of "organic" mercury that's combined with other molecules, usually through bacterial action, to form a compound called methylmercury. In this form, mercury is easily absorbed in the digestive system. Methylmercury is found in most fish at varying levels, depending upon the type of fish and its age. Most methylmercury exposure is through fish consumption, and it's considered more toxic than mercury vapor.

There is a worldwide conspiracy being orchestrated by an extremely powerful and influential group of genetically-related individuals (at least at the highest echelons) which include many of the world's wealthiest people, top political leaders, and corporate elite, as well as members of the so-called Black Nobility of Europe (dominated by the British Crown) whose goal is to create a One World (fascist) Government, stripped of nationalistic and regional boundaries, that is obedient to their agenda

It is, of course, not new to have a highly qualified scientist saying that global warming is an entirely natural phenomenon with many precedents in history. Many have made the argument, too, that it is rubbish to contend human behaviour is causing the current climate change.

They understand socialism. They understand tyrants. But none of us have ever had it here. We don't even know what it looks like. Part of what we're trying to do in "Saving Freedom" is just show that where we are, we're about where Germany was before World War II where they became a social democracy. You still had votes but the votes were just power grabs like you see in Iran, and other places in South America, like Chavez is running down in Venezuela. People become more dependent on the government so that they're easy to manipulate. And they keep voting for more government because that's where their security is. When our immigrants get here, they're worried, because they see it happening here.

People choose to see things as would best suit their beliefs or needs. Rarely do we recognize there is a much bigger picture, or that the information we are receiving is not as we believe it to be. Sometimes it seems like someone is doing something for one reason, when there is something going on that we don't even fathom to be a possibility. The facts, even when presented, sometimes are not even believable.

Last week on NPR a professor in the Sloan School of Management at MIT explained that what is really at stake in the health care bill is the US government's ability to borrow. In other words, the bill is about cutting health care costs, not about providing hard-pressed Americans with health care.

That is, unless you change the actuarial assumptions in the budget - like life expectancy. Lowering immune systems and increasing toxicity levels combined with poor food, water and terrorizing stress will help do the trick. Review the history of vaccines rushed into production without proper testing and peer review - it is clear about the potential side effects. In addition, a plague can so frighten and help control people that they will accept the end of their current benefits (and the resulting implications to life expectancy) without objection. And a plague with proper planning can be highly profitable. Whatever the truth of what swine flu and related vaccines are, it can be used as a way to keep control in a situation that is quickly shifting out of control.

According to the Northeast Intelligence Network, there is a well-orchestrated cover-up regarding the Obama eligibility issue. They don't have evidence that Obama is ineligible, only that there is a massive cover-up.

Why? Because the mainstream media is now pushing Newt Gingrich toward the top of the pile among Republican Party Presidential hopefuls. Newt would be a bigger disaster for America than just about any other. See the video for all the evidence needed.

On June 11, 2009, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced that it had declared "Level 6" pandemic emergency with regard to the "swine flu." Shortly thereafter, on cue, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced that we should expect mass vaccination in this country to begin as early as September, 2009. We have been covering the development of the global pandemic preparedness machinery in The IO since June, 1998. It is our belief that this machine has been in motion since March 28, 2009 and will not be stopped; that the global influenza pandemic the CDC and WHO have been predicting (planning) for at least a decade will be declared-whether people are pandemically sick and dying or not-and the global mass vaccination campaign for which they have been preparing since the 1970s swine flu fiasco will commence-soon. It is absolutely crucial that you share the following information with your friends, family and both elected and appointed bureaucrats within your community.

While the Patriot (Sovereign-Citizen) and Militia communities has been focused on National Level Exercise 2009 (NLE 09), the far more upsetting "Vibrant Response 2009" exercise is being held right now at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. The exercise is being held by the chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and high-yield explosive (CBRNE) Consequence Management Response Force, or CCMRF (pronounced "Sea-Smurf").

Socialized medicine has become the talk of the day. This is not only unfortunate. It is harmful and we have a responsibility to speak out. Socialized medicine has led to a drastic reduction in services and in quality of care in every nation it's been tried. The elderly and the infirm are always the hardest hit.

But some senior citizens complain they've been left off the list of people who will be first in line to get the swine flu vaccination, when it is ready. One CNSNews.com reader suggested the omission is in line with the Obama's administration's plan to "minimize" health care for the elderly, as the reader put i
