E. Coli Outbreak Alarms Germany as Young Women Sickened; Update: 16 Now Dead, Over 1000 Infected
Update May 31, 2011: Spread of a mysterious deadly strain of E. Coli now kills 16 people, infects 1000+ – “European agriculture ministers were meeting Tuesday in Hungary about the spread of a mysterious deadly strain of E. Coli that has killed 16 people, mostly in northern Germany, and affected more than 1,000 throughout Europe. But a blame game over the origin of the contamination is threatening a common response… Meanwhile, Sweden reported the first death outside Germany as a result of the outbreak and one man is in critical condition in Spain. All cases have been linked to produce consumption in northern Germany, and authorities there are warning people not to eat raw tomatoes, cucumbers, or lettuce.” Read more.
“Germany is alarmed at the scale of an E. coli food poisoning outbreak which is thought to have killed three people and may have infected hundreds more.
At least 80 people ingested EHEC, a dangerous strain of the bacterium, over the past two weeks and there are a further 350 suspected cases.
The number of EHEC infections for the whole of 2010 was only about 1,000.
This outbreak is affecting young women in particular, and one theory is that it is spread by contaminated salad.
While medical tests have yet to establish the exact cause of death, the three suspected victims were all women, two of them in their 80s and the third aged 24.” Read more.
Major food alert as two Britons are diagnosed with fatal food poisoning bug traced to organic cucumbers – “A food poisoning bug found in organic cucumbers has killed five of its victims. Hundreds more have fallen ill in the outbreak, which could affect tomatoes and lettuce too.Although centred on Germany, where the deaths occurred, the outbreak has spread to Britain and three other countries.” Read more.

By Duncan Alfreds – “Cape Town – The Space Weather Centre has warned that the sun is undergoing some instability, which has implications for electronic communications.
‘There is a very active area on the sun as rotated onto the invisible solar disc. This active area has got the potential for more flaring for the next five to six days,’ space weather forecaster Kobus Olckers of the Space Weather Warning Centre at the Hermanus Magnetic Observatory told News24.
He said that communications and electronic systems might be affected.
‘The internet could be a little slower for the next week or so and especially long distance communications.'” Read more.
Anti-Christian Violence Continues in Pakistan
By Penny Starr – “(CNSNews.com) – Anti-Christian violence continues in Pakistan and police are not pursuing the perpetrators, according to news reports.
A May 26 article in AsiaNews.it described the gang-rape of a Christian woman and the desecration of Christian tombs in the Pakistani city of Faisalabad. The publication called it ‘ordinary violence visited upon Pakistan’s Christian minority.’
The Pakistan Christian Post first reported the violence, including information about Muslim landowners using tractors to desecrate a Christian graveyard. Buried caskets were broken and bones of the dead were brought to the surface, the newspaper reported.” Read more.
Free Speech Victory in Dearborn, Michigan!
By David Wood – “Maybe I shouldn’t say ‘in’ Dearborn, since the city only sought to suppress free speech in this case. An outside court (the United States Court of Appeals) had to impose Constitutional law on the city.
Dearborn hosts an annual Arab Festival on Warren Avenue. During the festival, the street is reserved, but the adjacent sidewalks are not reserved and therefore remain public property. Hence, prior to 2009, many people would distribute pamphlets, DVDs, CDs, etc., on the public sidewalks. However, when Ronald Haddad took over as Chief of Police, he announced that no one would be allowed to distribute materials on the public sidewalks. Indeed, he insisted that no one would be allowed to distribute materials within five blocks of the festival. (He justified his decision by claiming that he needed to keep the area clear for pedestrian traffic.)
From a Constitutional perspective, this was quite disturbing, as the government was officially limiting free speech on public sidewalks. Moreover, those of us who attended the festival noticed that security only enforced the policy on Christians. Muslims remained free to distribute their materials.
Pastor George Saieg, an Arab Christian from the Sudan (who has observed the effects of Islamic law in his home country and therefore understands the importance of free speech better than many of us) decided to take the case to court. The freedom fighters at the Thomas More Law Center (praise God for them) took the case free of charge, and they won.
Lower courts had ruled in favor of Dearborn (i.e. that Dearborn police could stop people from exercising their freedom of speech on the public sidewalks adjacent to the festival). The appeals court reversed the decision on Constitutional grounds. Here are two excerpts:” Read more.

Japan Nuclear Firm Aims to End Crisis Within Nine Months; Update: ‘Major Delay’ to Containing the Situation
Update May 30, 2011: TEPCO now admits that obstacles are causing major delays in getting the situation under control …
TEPCO believes stabilizing Fukushima reactors by year-end impossible – “Tokyo Electric Power Co. is coming to the view that it will be impossible to stabilize the crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant by the end of this year, senior company officials said Sunday, possibly affecting the timing for the government to consider the return of evacuees to their homes near the plant.
The revelation that meltdowns had occurred at the Nos. 1 to 3 reactors at the plant, most likely with breaches to pressure vessels encasing nuclear fuel, has led the officials to believe that ‘there will be a major delay to work’ to contain the situation, one of them said.
The plant operator, known as TEPCO, announced on April 17 its road map for bringing the troubled reactors at the plant into a stably cooled condition called ‘cold shutdown’ in six to nine months.” Read more.
April 17, 2011: In other words, they really have no idea when this will all end. They just HOPE to have a ‘cold shutdown’ achievable by early 2012 while radiation continues to spew for at least another three months (best case scenario) or more. It’s like the nuclear version of the BP oil spill disaster. And this is itself based upon the hope, however, that there will not be another major earthquake in the area, or any other unforeseen obstacles, that would complicate their efforts even further …
By Justin McCurry – “The company at the centre of Japan’s nuclear crisis says it hopes to bring the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant under control in six to nine months, but cannot say when tens of thousands of people forced to evacuate the area will be able to return home.
In the first indication of how long it will take to stabilise the plant, the Tokyo Electric Power Company [Tepco] revealed on Sunday a two-stage process it hopes will end with the safe ‘cold shutdown’ of the stricken reactors.
Tepco’s announcement came as the US secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, arrived in Tokyo to pledge Washington’s support for Japan as it recovers from the worst disaster in its postwar history.” Read more.
Uganda: Hailstorm Hits Namutumba, Hundreds of Acres of Crops Destroyed
By Yazid Yolisigira – “Namutumba — About 40 houses had their roofs blown off and hundreds of acres of crops destroyed when a hailstorm hit Namutumba District. The two-hour hailstorm on Thursday hit 20 villages including Isegero A and B, Ndikitwamaila, Namukoge, Busene, Nabikenge, Bakudumira, Nawampiti, Kibaale and Kivule. Domestic animals and birds were also killed. Eight hours after the downpour, ice blocks were still visible on the ground.
In Nsinze Sub-county, several plantations under the Naads programme were destroyed. Mr Richard Kayingo, the sub-county NAADS coordinator, while touring the plantations, said the government should provide relief aid, including seeds, to farmers. ‘This is horrible. It is a total destruction and there is no hope for farmers to have any harvest this season,’ he said.
Most of the crops were left with two months to mature but farmers’ hope of a fruitful harvest has been dashed. ‘We have nothing to do right now. We don’t have seeds. The affected families should be given food aid for three months as they wait for the new season,’ Mr Kayingo said.” Read more.
Australia: Mystery Surrounds Dolphin Deaths
By David Sparkes – “DEBATE over deaths of marine animals in Gladstone Harbour could be about to flare up yet again.
Two dolphins have washed up dead within the space of a week, and neither shows any obvious cause of death.
Clive Last, caretaker at Turtle Island, stumbled upon the ugly spectre of a bloated, dead dolphin on May 15. He immediately reported the finding to Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service (QPWS), who went to the scene.
Just one week earlier, another dead dolphin was found washed up on Boyne Island on May 9…
‘I was disappointed first off (to discover the dolphin), because you don’t see too many dolphins dead on the beach,’ he told The Observer. ‘I go out in the boat a lot, fishing and all that in the harbour, and you do get passionate about what happens in it.
‘It’s extremely unusual, because you just don’t see dolphins washing up like this.'” Read more.
Philippines: ‘Remarkable Increase’ in Volcanic Tremors in Taal; Massive Fishkill Remains a Mystery
By ELLALYN B. DE VERA – “MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) observed a “remarkable increase” in the number of volcanic earthquakes around Taal Volcano with 115 tremors during its 24-hour observation period.
Out of the 115 earthquakes detected from 8 a.m. last Sunday until 8 a.m. Monday, 12 were felt with intensities that ranged from 1 to 4 and accompanied by rumbling sounds, Phivolcs reported.
The 12 tremors were felt by residents in Barangays Pira-piraso, Alas-as, and Calauit located in the northeast, southwest, and southeast sectors of the volcano, respectively.
One of these events recorded at 8:32 p.m. last Sunday was felt at Intensity I; nine events (1:02:19 a.m., 1:02:26 a.m., 2:32 a.m., 2:53 a.m., 2:12 a.m., 3:08:19 a.m., 3:08:52 a.m., 3:17 a.m., 3:19 a.m., 3:26 a.m. recorded Monday) were felt at Intensity II; one event (1:26 a.m. Monday) was felt at Intensity III; and another one (1:05 a.m. Monday) was felt at Intensity IV.” Read more.
Why did millions of fish drop dead in a lake near Philippines volcano? – “Wildlife experts have been baffled by the sudden death of more than 800 tons of fish which have rotted on farms in a lake near Taal volcano south of Manila. Residents were stunned when the milkfish, a widespread local dish, began dying and floating of the surface late last week. Officials have banned the sale of the rotting fish, which are being buried by the truckload in Talisay and four other towns in Batangas province.” Read more.
Israeli Police Preparing for Wide-Scale Rioting in September
By YAAKOV LAPPIN – “The Israel Police is preparing for the possibility of major riots in September, when Palestinians are expected to unilaterally declare statehood, Insp.-Gen. Yochanan Danino said in a speech to the Israel Bar Association in Eilat on Sunday.
‘The Israel Police is currently preparing for September, and for the possibility that various declarations regarding a nonviolent-civil struggle against the background of a declaration of a Palestinian state will end up becoming a violent conflict, and turn into wide-scale rioting’ Danino said.
The police commissioner added that his forces faced a ‘new reality’ due to areas of friction between populations, attempts to infiltrate the borders, and ‘calls on Internet sites and Facebook to violate Israel’s sovereignty, as well as the the situation that the whole of the Middle East is experiencing during these days.'” Read more.
Bill Warner Disassembles Islam for Non-Muslims
I recommend taking 15 minutes to watch this video …
On May 12, 2011, Bill Warner spoke at the Cornerstone Church in Nashville, TN. His speech was part of Geert Wilders‘ event, A Warning to America, sponsored by the Tennessee Freedom Coalition.
Introduction: “To join us first, Bill Warner has been a university professor, a business man, he has been a physics researcher, but he has lately pursued his passion to understand Islam and — more importantly — to make sure others have the capacity to understand what Islam is. He has become the director of the Center for the Study of Political Islam. He’s an international speaker about Islamic political doctrine. He’s produced dozens of books, many are outside here, including A [Simple] Koran, the biography of Mohammed and a summary of the Political Traditions of Mohammed. He also has a brilliant piece out there, Sharia and how you can understand what Sharia Law is [Sharia Law for the Non-Muslim]. He will speak tonight on giving you an understanding on what Sharia is and what political Islam has been in history, and what it is at this very moment.”
Farmers Forced to Protect Livestock as Mice Plague Attacks Animals and Crops in Australia
By Sarah Mennie – “WHEN farmer John Gregory entered his piggery he couldn’t believe what he saw – mice attacking his pigs.
Since he first saw them dining out on his prized stock in Wynarka, 130km east of Adelaide, the 50-year-old father of four has been at his wit’s end about how to get rid of them.
Now, as a desperate last resort, he’s resorted to covering his pigs in engine oil to protect them from the mice, which he says are turned off by the taste.
‘The mouse problem got really bad in April,’ Mr Gregory said.
‘We went away in the school holidays and when we came back we drove up the driveway and it looked like the ground was moving – there were hundreds of thousands of them.'” Read more.
‘Unprecedented’ mouse plague threatens crops – “A leading researcher in mouse control says the current plague could be four times worse than the farming industry has been preparing for. Linton Staples from the Invasive Animals Cooperative Research Centre says the current plague is unprecedented, in that it is affecting four states at the same time. There is mounting frustration from farmers in the middle of sowing that crops could potentially be lost …” Read more.
The Five Stages of Islam
By Richard Butrick – “Forget the Five Pillars of Islam. It is the Five Stages of Islam that threaten the fundamental freedoms of Western Democracy. Freedoms which include freedom of thought, expression, and association and the crucial derived right of freedom of the press. We should never forget that ‘Islam’ means submission — the opposite of self-determination and Enlightenment values.
Six years ago Dr. Peter Hammond published a remarkable book which included a statistical study of the correlation between Muslim to non-Muslim population ratios and the transition from conciliatory Islam to fascist Islam. The stages are the same in 2011 but the demographics have changed to show an alarming progression. Many European nations and the U.S. are on the cusp of moving to a higher bracket. The demographics change but the story is the same. First comes the taqiyya and the kitman; then comes the Sword of Islam. Imam Rauf, the Ground Zero Mosque promoter, is the current master of taqiyya. He has gulled everyone from Bloomberg to Maureen Dowd of the NYT — who fanaticizes over male Muslims. Expect doppelgangers of Khomeini for stage 5 and Islamic PEACE at last.” Read more.
