From Drudge: "Another Bin Laden Video To Be Released."

(Given the comments on the current one, a perhaps better title would be, "Another 'Bin Laden' Video To Be Released. According to the story itself, there's nothing remarkable that's likely to be in it.)

"It would be the real thing," he says, "a nuclear device
brought into the country in a small package. It may not
be a dirty bomb, but a real device that could kill hundreds

The new video is supposed to be the last testament of one of the 9/11 bombers. It will be introduced by OBL, so was made over 6 yrs ago.

Hsu Stays in Colorado for Now ("trapped in his cabin, stuck between his bed and a wall")

Wall Street Journal Online edition ^ | Monday September 10, 2007 | Kris Hudson
GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. -- The tangled journey of Democratic fund-raiser Norman Hsu may keep him in Colorado for at least another week as he awaits release from a hospital and authorities prepare his extradition to California. Mr. Hsu, who fled after missing a court hearing in Redwood City, Calif., Wednesday, turned up here Thursday when paramedics responding to calls of a passenger needing medical attention removed him from a Chicago-bound Amtrak train. By some accounts, Mr. Hsu spent several hours on the train somehow trapped in his cabin, stuck between his bed and a wall, before other passengers and Amtrak...-

End of story? (Dinosaur Media DeathWatch™)

Minneapolis (Red) StarTribune ^ | September 7, 2007 | Robert Franklin
NONFICTION The -30- mark once signaled the end of a reporter's story; author Charles Madigan uses it to suggest the death of newspaper journalism. Jokesters at the Philadelphia Inquirer once herded a circus camel into an elevator and lifted it up to the fifth-floor newsroom to celebrate a reporter's homecoming from the Middle East. That's nothing. Today, at virtually every big-city American paper, there's an elephant in the newsroom. It's the question of print media's survival in the face of lost advertising, circulation, news space and jobs. "-30- The Collapse of the Great American Newspaper" is a compendium of 15...-

More on the Hsu's Hsu file:

http://tinyurl.com/2rgaj4

"Hsu, 56, on the run for the second time from a 1992 grand theft conviction in San Mateo County, was arrested Thursday after the paramedics took him to a hospital from the train station in Grand Junction, Colo. A spokesman at St. Mary's Hospital said Friday night that Hsu was in fair condition but would not say what was wrong with him.

Hsu boarded the train in Emeryville about 7 a.m. Wednesday, Amtrak said, two hours before he was to have appeared in a Redwood City courtroom in connection with his grand theft conviction. He had touched down earlier that morning on a charter jet flight to Oakland, his lawyer told prosecutors. Amtrak said he boarded the Zephyr with a ticket for Denver.

Passengers interviewed Friday when the Zephyr reached its final destination of Chicago said it appeared that something was wrong with Hsu.

Alberto Dee, 21, who boarded the train in Truckee, said Hsu "freaked out" when Amtrak personnel approached, and was roaming a train car "without shoes and no shirt. ... I thought he had a suitcase full of crack or meth."

You can't believe that the Earth is in peril due to global warming, demand that governments and others act, and continue to eat meat; it's a simple as that.

Let's try and keep this in the news until there's been a response, okay?

1. Brad Wall attempts to spin the Saskatchewan pre-election campaign over Dan D'Autremont's statements on Crown corporations.

http://www.cbc.ca/canada/saskatchewan/story/2007/09/07/wall-crowns.html

2. D'Autremont did this on purpose because of the growing rift in the Sask Party caucus. With Bill Boyd coming back, D'Autremont took this opportunity to sabotage the campaign in hopes that the Sask Party would lose this election and turf Wall as leader, opening the door to either himself or Boyd, and allowing them to steer the party back to its Conservative roots.

3. Wall says in the news article that these statements from a high-ranking Sask Party caucus member were "made up" and that he'd "never heard them talked about before". This is a violation of the Sask Party's 2006 Code of Ethics -- specifically, knowingly disseminating false information (Article 4, Clause 6). D'Autremont is receiving no punishment, nor is he expected to issue an apology.

Campaign To Indict Mugabe For Crimes Against Humanity
African Conservative Forum ^ | Mukui Waruiru

.....Mugabe’s crimes include the massacre of 20,000 members of the Matabele tribe in the 1980s, because the people of that community refused to vote for him. This crime was well documented in an investigation that was conducted by the Catholic Church in Zimbabwe.....Mugabe has also murdered hundreds of opposition supporters, and his destruction of the agricultural industry in Zimbabwe has caused thousands to starve to death. The Zimbabwean dictator destroyed the homes of 700,000 poverty stricken people in Harare, and his army is reported to have committed war crimes against the people of the Congo between 1998 and 2002.......

......The debate over Zimbabwe should not be seen as a Black/White issue. The true division over Zimbabwe, is that between supporters of freedom versus supporters of tyranny. Freedom-loving people in Africa stand firmly with the Zimbabwean people, as well as the governments of Britain, Australia and the USA, in seeking to transform Zimbabwe from a dictatorship to a democracy. The ACF hopes to work with Christian leaders from all over Africa, to build a grassroots campaign to have Mugabe indicted....... ...-

Clinton planning Irish fundraiser
BBC

Bill and Hillary Clinton may fundraise in Ireland

He first came to help bring peace to Northern Ireland, but the next time Bill Clinton visits Ireland will be to help raise the estimated £249m his wife needs for her presidential campaign.

Hillary, is aiming to become the first woman US president.

The Republican and Democrat parties are expected to choose their presidential candidates in early 2008.

The Clinton campaign aims to hold a fundraiser targeting Democrat supporters living in Ireland.

Irish-born publisher Niall O'Dowd, who is on the finance committee of the Clinton campaign team, believes Hillary has a lot of support among ex-pats in Ireland.

"I know there is a plan by the Clinton campaign to hold a fundraiser in Ireland for American citizens and green card holders," he said.

Obama

"There is a view that raising money abroad is actually an option now because there is such intense pressure to raise money within the US for all the political parties.

"A fundraiser in Ireland could actually work very well for Hillary Clinton because there is a tremendous amount of support among expat Americans here for her."

The Clinton campaign team is currently raising money at the rate of £6m a month. ...-

(Extract)[...]
Check the “pic’ and look into this young woman’s dead eyes.

I call her “Angel” and Saddam murdered her without a second thought.

She died, not from a bullet. She died from WMD — nerve gas dropped on her town on the orders of Saddam.

“Angel” was a 15 year old student in a school in Halabja — her only crime was that she had been born a Kurd — and people exactly like her are the people that cowards in our society would desert. As a result angels continue to die every day. People exactly like my daughters and sons.

In my mind “Angel” proves the lie pandered by the MSM. ...-

Unhinged!

Today I sat and watched true democracy in action as General Petraeus and the US ambassador to Iraq, Ryan Crocker, gave their testimony. I was impressed as both painted a picture of a “surge” which is succeeding (albeit slowly) and I came away with an entirely different picture of the Iraq and Afghanistan situation than has been painted by the “cut and run” crowd in the MSM.

Cowards and “street legal” taxpayer thieves lost “big time” today — and Bush (for once) was not the target. ...-

Chinese Chicken Chokes After Testing The Water
Reuters

(BEIJING) - Think a bottle of mineral water might have poisoned you? Then test it on a chicken.

One Chinese family on the southern island province of Hainan had just that idea when one of their number started vomiting blood after drinking a bottle of water, a newspaper said.

They fed the luckless chicken the rest of the water to see what would happen, the Beijing News said, citing a report in a local paper. "The result was the chicken died within a minute," it said, showing a picture of a man holding a plastic bottle squatting over the crumpled body of the bird.

The province's authorities were investigating, it added.

Barely a day goes by without some new scandal over a made-in-China product, be it toys, toothpaste or fish, which has raised safety concerns in major export markets around the world....-
