The leader of the foreign-backed Syrian opposition coalition, Ahmed Moaz al-Khatib, has pledged allegiance to the Israeli regime if he manages to form a “new regime in Syria.”
In a recent interview with the Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronoth, Khatib stated that Israel should not be worried about the Syrian government’s chemical weapons as his so-called Syrian National Coalition ‘is working with other countries to prevent chemical munitions from falling to the hands of the Lebanese resistance movement, Hezbollah.’
This is while the Syrian government has taken measures to further secure its chemical arsenal and has warned that the militants may use such arms against the people.
Khatib added that, “We’ll spare no effort to prevent any military or chemical weapons passing to it (Hezbollah). We realize that this topic is of major concern to Israel.”
Khatib also admitted to having received information from US, French and German intelligence agencies on the bases and movements of the Syrian army.
The remarks come nearly two weeks after an Israeli airstrike on a military complex near the Syrian capital of Damascus.
The Syrian army said in a statement on January 30 that two people were killed and five others injured in an Israeli airstrike on a scientific center in Jamraya, located 25 kilometers (15 miles) northwest of Damascus.
Syria has been experiencing unrest since March 2011. Many people, including large numbers of security forces, have been killed in the turmoil.
The Syrian government says the chaos is being orchestrated from outside the country, and there are reports that a very large number of the militants are foreign nationals.
Sunbury Constable and Activists Urge Council to Approve Anti-NDAA Ordinance
On Monday, January 28, 2013, a group of about 30 individuals came out to support the introduction of the Liberty Preservation Ordinance to the Sunbury, PA City Council and Mayor. Attendees included members of the People Against the NDAA, American Civil Liberties Union, Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association, Oathkeepers and the Susquehanna Valley Liberty Alliance.
Also in attendance was State Constable Ed Quiggle, Jr., the Constable for Sunbury’s 9th Ward, who signed a similar resolution for his ward last year. Constable Quiggle introduced the ordinance to the city council speaking in favor of its passage and reminded the councilmembers of their oath to support and defend the U.S. and Pennsylvania Constitutions.
Specifically, the ordinance would require non-cooperation with the indefinite detention provisions of the 2012 NDAA from all of the city’s law enforcement agencies, including the Sunbury Police Department and the Offices of Constable for the various wards of Sunbury. It would also ask that they interpose to stop the indefinite detention of U.S. citizens by the federal government within the city.
The councilmembers indicated they would need extra time to digest the information given. It is expected that the ordinance will be placed on the table for a vote at the next City Council meeting on Monday, February 11, 2013.
Mayor David Persing also said he needed to do more research to verify what the presenters told them, but if true, he couldn’t imagine anyone on the City Council voting against the Liberty Preservation Ordinance.
P.A.N.D.A. Pennsylvania, the Sunbury P.A.N.D.A. Chapter and the Susquehanna Valley Liberty Alliance are encouraging people to once again come out to the City Council meeting on February 11th and support the Liberty Preservation Ordinance.
The meeting on the 11th begins at 6:15pm and is held in the Sunbury Municipal Building, 2nd floor, 225 Market Street, Sunbury, Pa. 17801.

It’s not been quite average morning in Russia. People in the Urals region have seen burning objects raining down from the sky after a meteorite exploded above the Earth.

The leader of Russia’s Liberal Democratic Party and vice speaker of the State Duma Vladimir Zhirinovsky accused on Friday the United States of testing new weapons over Russia immediately after reports of a meteorite explosion appeared.
Bill C-30, the “Protecting Children from Internet Predators Act”, was presented to Canadians less than one year ago. The bill gathered a lot of attention after public safety minister Vic Toews gave his insane ultimatum to a liberal critic, on the house of commons floor.
“He can either stand with us or stand with the child pornographers”
Justice minister Rob Nicholson announced on Monday that Bill C-30 is dead.
Quote:
“We will not be proceeding with Bill C-30 and any attempts we will have to modernize the Criminal Code will not contain the measures in C-30 — including the warrantless mandatory disclosure of basic subscriber information, or the requirement for telecommunications service providers to build intercept capabilities within their systems,”
Does this mean that Canadians are free from internet surveillance, while our neighbors to the south are now having to deal with president Obama using his executive power to force CISPA through?
Of course not! Bill C-11 Copyright Modernization Act, was passed and came into law not too long ago.
Bill C-11 included things such as:
1. Tough rules that could require intermediaries from ISPs through to search engines (e.g. Google), social networking sites (e.g. Facebook, Digg, Twitter) and data/web hosting sites (e.g. BlackSun and other “cloud” providers) to block access to websites and others alleged to enable copyright infringement.
2. The substitution of a “notice and take-down” as well as the graduated response regime that would see ISPs disconnect subscribers accused of repeated copyright infringement instead of the much less intrusive “notice-and-notice” regime already included in the bill and practiced as a matter of course by all of Canada’s major ISPs.
3. Claw backs to the innovative user-generated content (UGC) clause of the act that allows people to make mashups and remixes for non-commercial uses.
4. Copyright term extension from lifetime of the creator plus 50 years to life plus 70 years. Source
We also cannot forget about ACTA the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement. Which Canada signed on to in 2011.
“Under this new treaty, Internet Service Providers will police all data passing through them, making them legally responsible for what their users do online. And should you do something considered “breach of copyright” like, for instance, getting a tattoo of a brand logo, taking a photo and posting it somewhere, you may be disconnected from the Internet, fined or even jailed.
This, of course, threatens the entire founding idea of the Internet – the free sharing of information. But ACTA doesn’t stop there. It goes beyond the Internet, bearing down on generic drugs and food patents. If passed, ACTA will enforce a global standard for seed patenting, which would wipe out independent, local farmers and make the world completely dependent on the patent owners (read “big corporations”) for supplies.
The agreement states that it must be signed and ratified by 2013, but the seemingly late deadline is no cause for celebration. And if the secrecy surrounding this latest censor tool continues to hold, it may be put into effect without anyone noticing.” Source
Defeating Bill C-30 was a great victory. The people of Canada won a battle, but the war on internet freedom is far from over.
The human body is a complex system of interrelated parts. You can’t have an imbalance in one area of the body and not have that imbalance affect the entire whole. And researchers have demonstrated that your gut health, way down in your stomach, may play a role in your behavior and even your risk of depression or anxiety, further demonstrating why whole-body health is so vitally important.
The gut, or digestive system, is home to a complex balance of trillions of bacteria. They live in harmony, for the most part. But illness, disease, or antibiotics can all throw this fine balance off. And when your gut bacteria are not finely tuned, the effects include digestive problems including irritable bowel syndrome, to mental health problems like depression. Some research has even indicated late onset autism is related to gut health.
The most recent research, however, suggests that an imbalance caused by antibiotics could have profound effects on our behavior and mood.
As published in Gastroenterology, the researchers disrupted the gut bacteria of otherwise healthy mice by injecting them with antibiotics. They found the resulting imbalance to cause the mice to become less cautious and anxious. It also resulted in an increase in something called brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which is linked to depression and anxiety.
Then, to further their findings, they took healthy mice who exhibited passive behavior and injected them with bacteria from mice with a “higher exploratory” behavior. They found those passive mice became far more active. In other words, the change in gut bacteria again had a significant impact on behavior.
Interestingly, the changes weren’t permanent—the mice returned to their normal selves when the antibiotics were discontinued and the gut bacteria once again became balanced.
So, what does this mean for us. Well, in science-speak, it’s important to note that the same findings have yet to be tested in humans. However, the research indicates that things like depression and mood or behavioral changes could be due to an upset in gut bacteria. Actually, the imbalance of gut microbiota is even directly linked to chronic illness, including obesity and inflammation.
In addition, a disruption in the bacteria of the gut can lead to serious digestive problems and candida. You can prevent all of this by avoiding antibiotics whenever possible, but also by consuming foods with probiotics to help restore and maintain the delicate bacterial balance. These foods include fermented ones like sauerkraut, kefir, miso, and tempeh.
