A new survey showing the extent of bankers' criminal inclinations, together with the "LIBOR" scandal, gives us more insight into how deeply corrupt the banking industry has become.

Big banks have metastasized into a kind of "Financial/Industrial Complex" which is distorting and engulfing our economy. And they've captured the critical government functions designed to stem the corruption and keep them in check.

Washington, we have a problem.

On Wednesday, July 18, the euro hit a record law against the Australian dollar, falling to A$1.1881, the lowest level since it was introduced. This was a result of traders reacting to a media report that German Chancellor Angela Merkel said she couldn't be sure the European project would work.

Last week, the euro fell against the American dollar, to USD 1.2185, the lowest level since June, 2010. This was also an indicator that markets are concerned about Europe's debt crisis.

(NaturalNews) Your immune system is constantly on a seek-and-destroy mission status - on the lookout for foreign invaders, naturally occurring cell defects and mutant cells. The immune system has a vast capacity to remember bad guys and deploy tactics that worked in the past to annihilate the enemy. Some of the fastest growing cells in the human body are immune cells.

 

Over 80 percent of the body's immunity is built in the intestinal tract by the friendly bacteria balance that resides there. The intestinal flora starts building in an infant while in the womb but doesn't really take off until after eight days of age. Starting with the colostrum milk, the gut begins to populate with more bacteria while the infant's immune system starts an inventory of good and bad cells in the body. This inventory is a life-long process and the immune system never forgets an invader.

PORTLAND, Ore. (NBC) - A man arrested after he stripped naked at Oregon's Portland International Airport was found not guilty of public indecency at a trial Wednesday.

John Brennan, a frequent-flying businessman from Portland, set off an explosives wand in April and stripped naked to show Transportation Security Administration screeners he was not carrying a bomb.

At Wednesday's trial TSA officer Steven VanGordon testified that "he started taking clothes off quickly, I mean he whipped them off pretty fast."
