NEWS MSM DOES NOT SPEAK OF
2012 & End Times
On Monday's show, author Whitley Strieber talked about a number of the historical, prophetic, scientific, and environmental inspirations behind his new novel, The Omega Point (promo video). A verse from the Book of Revelation in the New Testament referred to a final judgment, which he noticed was numbered 20:12, a coincidence that led him to believe there could be something to the many prophecies around the year 2012. "I think that this year (2012) is known at some level of consciousness to be an indicator year...In the future, when we look back at that year, we'll say, 'yes, that's the year when it all changed,'" he commented.

The events in his book are set into motion when a solar observatory discovers increased energy entering our solar system, disturbing Earth, and the sun. Such a scenario could actually take place, as the patterns of the sun have been unusual of late, noted Strieber. Also figuring into his plot is the mysterious white powder gold, said to be used by the ancient Eygptians, and underground shelters which become a trap for the evil and arrogant when the major Earth changes begin occurring.

The title Omega Point refers to a moment of transcendence when we go beyond the limits of space and time, he explained, adding that the signs of a next age are upon us. "We're going through the underworld-- the birth canal of mankind...being born into a new level of timelessness and innocence," he said.

Oil Spill Update:

First hour guest, Capt. Kelly Sweeney shared updates and analysis of the Gulf oil spill and plans to fix it. There is concern over the condition of the leaking well, which could be caving in and not be strong enough to work with the planned relief wells, he reported. He also noted that below the surface of the water, the oil plumes are not being cleaned and could get into the current.

The BP oil spill - millions of gallons of oil leaked into the Gulf of Mexico, coastal businesses from Houston to Tampa shuttered, the potential for higher energy costs across the country and untold ecological damage.

Re: Allegations of FBI Pressure Tactics that Amount to "Rendition"

Dear Attorney General Holder:

I hope this letter finds you in the best of health and spirits.

It is my unfortunate duty to bring to your attention allegations of discrimination by federal entities against several members of the American Muslim community.

In recent months, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has received a number of complaints from United States citizens who have been detained overseas by the FBI and the U.S. Department of State.

In all of the cases, these citizens have been placed on the no-fly list while in foreign countries, stranding them there with virtually no legal recourse. They have been subjected to repeated FBI interrogations and their Fifth Amendment due process rights have allegedly been violated.

After several months, some of these American citizens have been allowed to return to the United States. But despite their full cooperation with the FBI, others still remain in forced exile.

One of our clients, a natural born citizen still detained outside the United States, has been trapped in Egypt since May 4, 2010. His passport was confiscated and FBI agents have subjected him to at least eight interrogations, despite assertion of his constitutional right to remain silent as advised by his attorney. He has been explicitly told that he is on the no-fly list, and he has been pressured to submit to a polygraph test.

After a polygraph test on June 8, he was allegedly told by an agent that, based on his answers, he would "never see the United States or your family again" unless he "rethought" his answers. Subsequently, he says he has been pressured by the FBI to spy on the American Muslim
community when and if he is allowed to return to the United States.

On Saturday, the FBI told the man he was cleared to leave Egypt and he was given a temporary passport today. He was informed that despite being cleared to travel, he cannot use American or Canadian airspace. When he asked how he could return to the United States without being able to board a plane, he was allegedly informed that "Christopher Columbus did not ride on a plane" to come to America.

The man's 19-year-old brother was also stopped by the FBI in Egypt as they were travelling home from Yemen. The younger man, who has since been allowed to return to the United States, says he also faced repeated FBI interrogations, was allegedly interrogated by a man claiming to be with the "CIA" and was blindfolded and chained to a wall in an Egyptian police facility for several days. During his detention, he was reportedly assaulted and subjected to sleep deprivation.

Another natural born United States citizen has been stranded in Egypt with his wife and two small children since April 13, 2010. He is a disabled veteran of the U.S. military who has also worked for the United States Postal Service.

After FBI agents interrogated him, they indicated that they would be going on vacation for several weeks and would not be able to give him clearance to return to the United States until after their return.

Of those American citizens initially denied entry into the United States who have since been permitted to return after lengthy detentions, one is a natural born citizen who had traveled to Yemen with his family to learn Arabic and was arrested on January 6 by the Political Security Organization in Yemen.

After being released, he was unable to board a flight from Turkey to the United States because he was on the no-fly list. Turkey deported him back to Yemen, where he sat in a Yemeni prison until he was finally cleared to fly on March 26.

The other is a naturalized citizen who flew from Yemen to Sardinia to return to the United States. He was prevented from boarding a flight and was deported back to Yemen at the beginning of April. It was not until May, and after interrogations by the FBI, that he was cleared to return to the United States. Neither of these individuals has been charged with any crime.

We are concerned that FBI interrogations of American citizens in a condition of forced exile are being conducted without due process and using techniques that amount to a form of "rendition."

The use of apparently illegal pressure tactics flies in the face of President Obama's commitment to abandon unconstitutional policies instituted under the previous administration.

If the FBI wishes to question American citizens, they should be allowed to return to the United States where they will be able to maintain their constitutional rights free of threats or intimidation.

We are also deeply concerned that this apparent targeting of American Muslims not only infringes on constitutional rights, but also sends the message that Muslims are second class citizens and that the due process of law does not apply to them.

I therefore respectfully request that your office investigate these incidents and take whatever remedial actions are necessary based on the results of that investigation. I would also request that the U.S. Department of Justice allow all American citizens to return to the United States, and, if there are any reasons to charge or investigate particular individuals, to do so once they are in their country of birth.

American Muslims are firmly committed to our nation's safety and security. We applaud your efforts to protect America while defending the rights of all citizens, regardless of religion, ethnicity or national origin.

CAIR looks forward to a swift resolution to this problem. You may contact me at your earliest convenience at 202-488-8787 or e-mail nawad@cair.com.

Details of the cases described above may be obtained by contacting CAIR's Civil Rights Manager Khadija Athman at 202-646-6033 or by e-mail at kathman@cair.com

Thank you for your attention to this important matter.

Sincerely,


Nihad Awad
National Executive Director

CHART OF THE DAY: Food Prices Are About To Explode
May's Consumer Price Index fell 0.2%, which was a slightly larger price drop than consensus expected. Deflation seems to be the greater challenge right now rather than inflation. But not everywhere. http://www.businessinsider.com/cpi-falls-02-2010-6
A new report from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) forecasts soaring gloal food prices over the next decade. http://www.businessinsider.com/chart-of-the-day-world-food-prices-2010-6?utm_source=Triggermail&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=CS_COTD_061710
While food production is forecast to increase, demand will increase even faster due to rising wealth levels in developing countries

Rising incomes lead to larger amounts of meat included in diets, and meat is far more intensive of a food source to produce than simple things such as rice or wheat.

You may have heard of this scenario years ago, before the crisis and when commodities were in a super-spike. Well, the thesis still holds, even after the crisis. Moreover, we won't have to wait until 2020 to see the price hikes.
The process is already kicking off. The report forecasts that global prices next year for many animal-related foods will be 10 - 20% higher than in 2009
