Indian police scuffle with Public Health Engineering department (PHE) government employees during a protest in Srinagar on May 8,2013.
Hundreds of government workers have held a protest rally in Indian-controlled Kashmir, demanding a pay rise and the regularization of contractual jobs.
Fierce clashes also broke out in the Wednesday rally after police forces tried to disperse the protesters marching through the summer capital, Srinagar.
Indian police arrested dozens of the protesting government workers.
“The government should appoint (as permanent) all those workers appointed from 1994 to November 2005, and pay regularly the wages of casual workers appointed after November 2005,” said Sajad Ahmad Parray, the chairman of the All Kashmir PHE Casual Laborers Association.
Last month, a number of protesting workers were injured when similar protests, organized by the public health engineering department, broke out in Srinagar.
The employees had threatened to launch massive protests if their demands were not met.
In what could be described as a victory for the health and well-being of our children, it has been reported in the Jerusalem Post that Israel will now stop forcing local authorities to add Fluoride into their drinking water supplies.
Israel’s Health Minister, Yael German, has taken this drastic step to ensure that the residents of Israel are not forced to ingest fluoride with every drop of water they drink, but rather use tools such as education as a means of protecting children’s teeth.

Syria says Israel has effectively declared war after its planes bombed targets in Damascus, the second airstrikes in as many days. Egypt has condemned the Israeli airstrikes on Syria, with the Arab League also demanding action from the UN Security Council.

[Potent News Editor’s note: When I tried to post this video to facebook, it changed the title as it posted. Facebook changed the title of this video to “Adam Kokesh Calls For Illegitimate Government Overthrow (Extended Interview Excerpts)”.]
Here are more highlights from the bombshell interview on todays (5-6-13) Alex Jones Radio Show. Adam Kokesh in his first media appearance since putting out the call for an armed march on D.C., states his case in clear peaceful terms that government by violent coercion will not longer be tolerated by the free people of the United States.
Radio host and activist Adam Kokesh plans to lead an armed march from the Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia all the way to the White House and back.
According to a Facebook event posted by Kokesh, titled “Open Carry March on Washington,” he plans to lead a peaceful march July 4th “across the Memorial Bridge, down Independence Avenue, around the Capitol, the Supreme Court, & the White House, then peacefully return to Virginia across the Memorial Bridge.”
On Monday, Kokesh joined Alex on his nationally syndicated radio show to discuss what the march aims to peacefully accomplish:
The Royal Canadian Mint is pushing forward with its “MintChip” prototype, a digital cash replacement aimed at transactions under $10. …
MintChip emulates the positives of cash — payments are anonymous and don’t require a bank — but work electronically. …
I don’t believe the payments can really be anonymous since you and your electronic device can be identified in so many ways.
A real danger is that the government could disable your cash as a method of punishing dissent and forcing compliance, or as a quick-and-easy tax grab to bail out banks.
Notice how this technology is sold as inevitable:
The future is obviously going to be much more electronic.
It’s the “future” if we go along with it. All we’ll get in exchange is a totalitarian nightmare.
The article even suggests we could use this at garage sales. That sounds like they’re targeting their marketing very carefully. Those who have thought about it probably don’t want the government monitoring all of their purchases and personal sales.

Israel used “a new type of weapon”, a senior official at the Syrian military facility that came under attack from the Israeli Air Force told RT.
“When the explosion happened it felt like an earthquake,” said the source, who was present near the attack site on the outskirts of Damascus on Sunday morning.
“Then a giant golden mushroom of fire appeared. This tells us that Israel used depleted uranium shells.”
Depleted uranium is a by-product of the uranium enrichment process that creates nuclear weapons, and was first used by the US in the Gulf conflict of 1991. Unlike the radioactive materials used in nuclear weapons, depleted uranium is not valued for its explosiveness, but for its toughness – it is 2.5 times as dense as steel – which allows it to penetrate heavy protection.
Countries using depleted uranium weapons insist that the material is toxic, but not dangerously radioactive, as long as it remains outside the body.
The source also claims the attack – if it managed to hit the objects it targeted – served more of a political than a military purpose.
“Several civilian factories and buildings were destroyed. The target was just an ordinary weapons warehouse. The bombing is an ultimatum to us – it had no strategic motivation.”
Western intelligence sources told the media that the strikes targeted transfers of weapons from the Lebanese Hezbollah movement, which is sympathetic to the government of Syrian President Bashar Assad.
The official who spoke to RT denies this.
“There was no valuable equipment at the site. It was all removed after a previous attack on the facility. The military losses from this are negligible.”
