The recent computer meltdown at the RBS prevented around 13m customers from accessing their accounts for up to a month, but the problem appeared to have been distracted by the fine on Barclays that came to £290m.

(NaturalNews) If vaccines play absolutely no role in the development of childhood autism, a claim made by many medical authorities today, then why are some of the most popular vaccines commonly administered to children demonstrably causing autism in animal primates? This is the question many people are now asking after a recent study conducted by scientists at the University of Pittsburgh (UP) in Pennsylvania revealed that many of the infant monkeys given standard doses of childhood vaccines as part of the new research developed autism symptoms.

A former CIA analyst says the United States and Israel seek to come up with a pretext for attacking Iran by fabricating intelligence, a ploy similar to the one adopted by the United States for justifying the war on Iraq a decade ago.

“As we saw 10 years ago with respect to Iraq, if one intends to whip up support for war, one needs to find a casus belli - however thin a pretext it might be,” Ray McGovern wrote in an article.

Anti-fracking march on Washington, DC 2012

 

WASHINGTON, D.C. — An estimated 5,000 people rallied at the Capitol and marched to the headquarters of the American Petroleum Institute on July 28 to protest hydraulic fracturing — a method of extracting natural gas from shale deposits that some people blame for polluting water and harming the health of people who live near the wells.

The process, dubbed “fracking,” involves drilling a thousand feet below the surface and an equal distance laterally to inject a soup of chemicals and water into the ground. The pressure fractures the shale and releases natural gas trapped inside.
