Deadly heatwave causes havoc across south-eastern Australia An intense heatwave that is gripping south-eastern Australia has caused at least 19 deaths, destroyed 11 homes and cut power to thousands of properties.

Robert Fisk’s World: When did we stop caring about civilian deaths during wartime? I wonder if we are "normalising" war. It's not just that Israel has yet again got away with the killing of hundreds of children in Gaza. And after its own foreign minister said that Israel's army had been allowed to "go wild" there, it seems to bear out my own contention that the Israeli "Defence Force" is as much a rabble as all the other armies in the region. But we seem to have lost the sense of immorality that should accompany conflict and violence.

Obama calls $18B in Wall St. bonuses 'shameful' President Barack Obama issued a withering critique Thursday of Wall Street corporate behavior, calling it "the height of irresponsibility" for employees to be paid more than $18 billion in bonuses last year while their crumbling financial sector received a bailout from taxpayers. "It is shameful," Obama said from the Oval Office. "And part of what we're going to need is for the folks on Wall Street who are asking for help to show some restraint, and show some discipline, and show some sense of responsibility."

Pope Benedict XVI’s rehabilitatation of a British bishop who denies that millions of Jews died in Nazi gas chambers has alarmed Catholics who fear it risks dealing a fatal blow to the inter-faith dialogue promoted by his predecessor.

Over the weekend the Pope issued a decree welcoming back into the Roman Catholic Church Richard Williamson, 68, and three other breakaway bishops excommunicated by John Paul II in 1988. The bishops had been ordained without Vatican permission by the renegade French archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, who rejected the reforms of the Second Vatican Council.

People don’t always associate Nordics with rampant protests, we aren’t like the French for example who strike about almost anything and, as a rule, we are definitely against any format of violent protest. But of course that was before, before our tolerance was pulled tighter than the skin on a drum, before our bank balances plummeted as far as our employment rates, before we were declared terrorists by Brown (which coincidentally is the color of poo) and the anger that accompanies a preventable national catastrophe settles inside the hearts of the people.

"They just got the props knocked out from under them." But approximately 3,600 years ago, an enormous earthquake or series of earthquakes struck, destabilizing the mountain ranges surrounding the valley, sending massive amounts of debris crashing into the foothills, the scientists said. Subsequent El Ninos brought torrential rains, washing the debris into the ocean.

Israel then claimed that the tunnels were being used to bring in weapons. There was a simple solution to that, wasn't there? End the blockade. Israel's answer was a terror bombing campaign and invasion of Gaza which has killed hundreds of civilians and injured thousands many critically.

The silence is deafening,
Is the world still asleep?

Where in the silence
Are the cries for help?

Where in the silence
Is the rage yet unleashed?

Where is the fear,
Can you smell it,
Can you hear it coming ?

Some say silence is golden,
I say silence is a sin.

I say silence condemns the innocent,
And protects the guilty.

It encourages those who have not boundaries,
Their deeds to enfold.

The guilt lays in all,
Who do not speak out,
Who lie silent and still.

Silence, silence, be still oh people….
While the rage hurries in
And destroys ~ who next ~ but you!

They arrive in pairs, with two cars parked a quarter mile and half mile down the road. They've served 3 so far and said "a bunch more are coming." No telling how many will be served since Hixon has between 200-400 farmers he cleans seeds for and these farmers have been repeatedly threatened by Monsanto thugs for the last two months, getting "visits," letters, and calls daily.
