“Palestinian factions Fatah and Hamas on Wednesday proclaimed a landmark, Egyptian-mediated reconciliation pact aimed at ending their bitter four-year rift. The Palestinian president seized the occasion to deliver a scathing criticism of Israel, saying he would not succumb to its blackmail over the future of Mideast peacemaking.

‘We forever turn the black page of division,’ the Western-backed Mahmoud Abbas said at the declaration ceremony in the Egyptian capital Cairo, promising to ‘soon’ visit Hamas-held Gaza Strip.”  Read more.

Flowing Backwards: Mississippi Flood More Than Historic, It’s a 500 Year ‘Epic’ Flood

05/04/2011 4 comments

By Lauren Lee – “MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The Mississippi River continues to rise, so much so that its tributaries are starting to flow backwards. At Tom Lee Park, preps for Memphis in May continue knowing that the worst is still yet to come.

It’s a site not often seen; the Wolf River and Nonconnah Creek are flowing backwards. The swelling river cannot take on much more water.

Gene Rench with the National Weather Service said all eyes are on the Mississippi. The tributaries flowing backwards are a big problem for the adjacent communities.

‘Right now the Mississippi river is in the process of going through what we call an epic flood, meaning it’s more than historic, it’s more than a 100 year flood, it’s more like a 500 year flood,’ he said. ‘We could flood many homes, businesses, close down factories, people could drown.’

The river is more than two feet past flood stage; it rose two feet in the 24 hours following the storms. It’s expected to crest at 45 feet around May 10th…” Read more.

By Don Coleman – “GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. — Even after the White House offered up President Obama’s birth certificate, there are still those who are questioning it’s legitimacy.

One Grand Junction man who works as a graphic artist says he has discovered something strange about the certificate. ‘There’s no doubt that it has been edited and quite significantly,’ James Colby said.

He’s been involved in graphic arts since 2004 and has never had a reason to doubt our president’s birthplace. In fact, he says he is politically independent. Yet, Colby says he can’t ignore the obvious.

After downloading the birth certificate straight off of the White House’s website, he started noticing the apparent flaws in a computer program called Adobe Illustrator.

‘Legitimate digitized, scanned documents will always have [a] faded appearance… There are too many jagged features, here.’ he said as the scoured the certificate. ‘So, it’s not a single document, it’s actually ‘compositive’ layers.'”  Read more.

Why Does Obama Have 2 Different Birth Doctors?

By Bob Unruh – “The White House release of a copy of Barack Obama’s long-form Hawaian birth certificate continues to raise more questions – since the name of the president’s attending physician differs from previous published reports.

The name on the purported birth certificate lists Dr. David Sinclair as the obstetrician who delivered Obama in 1961.

But reports by the Buffalo News and supposedly confirmed by the hoaxbusting website Snopes.com indicate the name of Obama’s birth physician was Dr. Rodney T. West.

Here is an image of what the White House claims is Obama’s official, long-form birth certificate, with Sinclair’s name listed as the doctor.

Yet a report that West was the attending physician – and not Sinclair – comes from Snopes.com, the self-described ‘definitive Internet reference source’:
