South Korean authorities have seized thousands of pills containing
the powdered flesh of fetuses and babies that were smuggled in from
China to be used as Viagara-style performance enhancers, according to
multiple reports.
Nearly 17,500 of the bizarre capsules have been grabbed from
tourists' luggage and international mail since last August, the
state-run Korea Customs service said in a statement Monday. The capsules
were made in northeastern China in a stomach-turning process in which
dead babies' bodies were chopped into small pieces and dried on stoves
before being turned into powder, the Korea Customs Service said. Customs
officials refused to say where the dead babies came from or who made
the capsules, citing possible diplomatic friction with Beijing. China
ordered an investigation into the production of drugs made from dead
fetuses or newborns last year.
The pills, which are typically smuggled in by ethnic Koreans living
in northern China, aren't just creepy, they contain "super bacteria"
that is hazardous to human health, the statement said. South Korea began
cracking down on the drugs last year after a television network aired
a documentary accusing
Chinese pharmaceutical companies of collaborating with abortion clinics
to make the pills from human fetuses and the remains of dead infants,
according to The Wall Street Journal.

The People's Bishop
Retired Episcopal Bishop George Packard was arrested in Vietnam Veterans Memorial Plaza in New York City on Tuesday night as he participated in the May 1 Occupy demonstrations. He and 15 other military veterans were taken into custody after they linked arms to hold the plaza against a police attempt to clear it. There were protesters behind them who, perhaps because of confusion, perhaps because of miscommunication or perhaps they were unwilling to risk arrest, melted into the urban landscape. But those in the thin line from Veterans for Peace, of which the bishop is a member, stood their ground. They were handcuffed, herded into a paddy wagon and taken to jail.
It was Packard's second arrest as part of the Occupy protests. Last Dec. 17 he was arrested when he leapt over a fence in his flowing bishop's robe to spearhead an attempt to occupy a vacant lot owned by Trinity Church in lower Manhattan. The December action by the Occupy movement was a response to the New York City Police Department's storming and eradication of the encampment in Zuccotti Park. Packard will appear in court in June to face the trespassing charge that resulted. Now, because of this second arrest, he faces the possibility of three months in jail.
Packard's moral and intellectual courage stands in stark contrast with the timidity of nearly all clergy and congregants in all of our major religious institutions. Religious leaders, in churches, synagogues and mosques, at best voice pious and empty platitudes about justice or carry out nominal acts of charity aimed at those bearing the weight of resistance in the streets. And Packard's arrests serve as a reminder of the price that we—especially those who claim to be informed by the message of the Christian Gospel—must be willing to pay to defy the destruction visited on us all by the corporate state. He is one of the few clergy members who dare to bear a genuine Christian witness in an age that cries out in anguish for moral guidance.

Isaiah 9:10 'Most Important Discovery Of Decade'
In 1970, many churches were not regularly taught the doctrine of the second coming of Christ, more commonly known as premillennial prophecy. Then along came Hal Lindsey’s blockbuster bestseller, “The Late Great Planet Earth.”
The nation and the world were catapulted into a revival of knowledge that even the Prophet Daniel proclaimed would not be well known or revealed until the last days. A few great works have been added to Lindsey’s book and those who had only Clarence Larkin’s 1918 version of “Dispensational Truth” were reinvigorated to begin again to start studying the subject of eschatology. (The last things)
Now certain signs have been fulfilled in this generation that make it impossible to miss that the generation Jesus spoke of as the one sure to precede the second coming of Christ, is as the Bible says, “at hand.”
Of all the latest signs and the greatest teachings and discoveries about Christ’s imminent return in power that have graced this generation, none is more specific to America than the parallel Israel and America share in the passages of Isaiah 9: 10 and following.
Since online journalism often falls prey to the speed of surfing and the new lightning speed of digital browsers, I will state the early and emphatically; the Isaiah 9:10 prophecy/parallel is, without doubt, the most important and impressive discovery in this decade. It is a wakeup call that we can only ignore at our own peril.
“The Harbinger,” which traces the parallels between judgment on Israel and the United States of America, circa 2012. Or see the warnings, in “The Isaiah 9:10 Judgment.”
In both Old and New Testament days the Lord made it clear to his apostles and prophets and servants that if they went unheard and subsequently unheeded that it was God that was being rejected, not the servant. Under inspiration of God’s Holy Spirit, God, his message and the messenger stand as one. That being said, the primary here is Rabbi Jonathan Cahn. Jonathan is what is known as a, Messianic Rabbi, (Christian) whose message is heard daily on hundreds of radio stations across the nation.
Joseph Farah is the producer of the documentary and he is a man who hardly needs an introduction. As the founder and CEO of WND.com (formerly WorldNetDaily), a website that has recently been ranked among the top 500 sites in the nation, he is well known for his journalism and his untiring pursuit of the truth.
The documentary is used to show the parallel between ancient Israel and America. We are without doubt producing the same behaviors that Israel did before it began to fall under the judgment of God.
Since both Israel and America were chosen to represent God’s works and his message in our world it might seem apropos that we should both choose a similar path, but since it is a path to our own demise, it is anything but desirable.
God is the author and finisher of all things but he does want to make it clear that we play a role in the outcome of all that happens in our lives as individuals and collectively as a nation. This then, is the very heart of this documentary.

MBRG To Keep Close Eye On Special Session
Towson, MD - Maryland Business for Responsive Government announced today it will be monitoring votes from both the special and regular sessions of the Maryland General Assembly for possible inclusion in the annual publication that monitors the legislature's impact on the business community and job creation.
With a compressed time frame, legislation in a special session is often introduced without adequate vetting in the committee hearing process. One notable example is the "tech tax" which swiftly passed the General Assembly in the 2007 special session and was signed into law only to be repealed and later replaced by the millionaire's tax after an outcry from Maryland's IT sector.
"All kinds of mischief is possible in a special session," said MBRG President Kimberly M. Burns. " And everyone is aware that the Governor, Senate President and House Speaker didn't finish their work by April 9."
MBRG noted the legislature is not limited to simply proposals to increase the income tax, which is bad enough, but that a special session puts everything back in the mix. Still, the impetus for the session is to raise revenues to please government spending advocates.
“It’s a pretty sad day in Maryland when the legislature re-convenes just to raise taxes on hard working Maryland families and businesses to support its spending habit,” Burns said. “I hope folks will be paying attention.”
MBRG will be taking a close look at regular and special session votes in its annual Roll Call publication, which grades legislators on their votes on issues affecting jobs and business in Maryland. The publication will be issued in late June; the 2012 edition will mark the 27th edition of Roll Call.

COUNTY EMERGENCY SERVICES CONDUCT COMMUNICATIONS EXERCISES
On Tuesday May 1, 2012 county and state highway emergency services participated in a Communications Rally and Exercise at Winter Place Park in Wicomico County.
The purpose of the exercise was to bring together communications units, government agencies, allied agencies and personnel required to act during All-Hazard Responses on the Delmarva Peninsula. An All-Hazard emergency operations plan reflects what will be done to protect the community with the resources it has or can obtain.
Wicomico County Director of Emergency Services David Shipley commented, “An exercise like this is a prime example of the coordination and work it takes to mount an emergency response and how well the emergency services personnel on the Lower Shore work in partnership for the safety of their citizens.”
The primary goal of the exercise was to allow the agencies to operate through basic scenarios to demonstrate and practice interoperability of their equipment in a training atmosphere. These exercises also provide an opportunity to discuss and address any issues that could arise during an actual event.
Agencies and personnel were able to share information and experiences through networking. The various communications vehicles and resources that can be called upon to provide interoperability during an emergency were involved in the exercise. Those participating agencies included:
Wicomico County Department of Emergency Services and their mobile command post.
Ocean City Office of Emergency Management and their mobile command unit.
Worcester County Emergency Services and their special operations trailer.
Sussex County Emergency Operations Center and their incident command vehicle.
Maryland State Highway Administration with their emergency evacuation unit and traffic vehicles.

WICOMICO COUNTY TO CELEBRATE NATIONAL CORRECTIONAL OFFICERS’ WEEK MAY 6-12th
May 2, 2012 -- The County Executive and County Council formally recognized the first full week of May as National Correctional Officers’ Week in Wicomico County during last night’s Council meeting. Wicomico County Department of Corrections Director, George Kaloroumakis and a delegation of off-duty officers and employees were present to receive the proclamation.
The Wicomico County Department of Corrections is a key component of public safety. “Our Wicomico County Correctional Officers, on a daily basis, have to deal with dangerous and unspeakably horrible behavior from some of the people under their watch,” County Executive Pollitt said, “These brave men and women deserve our utmost respect and gratitude for their role in keeping our community safe.”
After receiving the proclamation, Corrections Director George Kaloroumakis expressed his heartfelt gratitude and appreciation for the outstanding work the officers and employees perform 24 hours a day, seven days a week with some of the most difficult and challenging personalities in the community. “The good work we do goes largely unnoticed by the citizens we serve,” said Kaloroumakis, “So, it is important to set aside a special time each year to recognize and thank our correctional employees who are committed and dedicated to serving the community in this profession.”
On May 5, 1984, President Ronald Reagan proclaimed the first ever National Correctional Officers Week. Referring to correctional officers in his proclamation, President Reagan stated, "They are called upon to fill, simultaneously, custodial, supervisory and counseling roles. The professionalism, dedication and courage exhibited by these officers throughout the performance of these demanding and often conflicting roles deserve our utmost respect."
President Reagan went on to call upon officials of State and local governments and the people of the United States to observe this week with appropriate ceremonies and activities. The first full week in May has since been recognized as National Correctional Officers' Week to honor the work of correctional officers and correctional personnel nationwide.
Therefore, it is appropriate that correctional officers and correctional employees be recognized and honored by the citizens and government officials of Wicomico County during the first full week of May.
How Much Does It Cost To Tear Down A Nuclear Reactor?
Much more than the government thinks. The New York Times got a peak at a Government Accountability Office study slated for release today. It said the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's estimate of how much it would cost to decommission a site and bury radioactive parts was off by as much as $350 million at one place. GAO looked at a dozen reactors in all. It found estimates at five to be off significantly. The NRC requires plant owners to have enough cash on hand for decommissioning the plant, but GAO said the agency doesn't have clear procedures to track that money. The report suggested the NRC was requiring plants to have less money than they would need.
IRS Under Fire
A long-time critic of the Internal Revenue Service's whistleblower program is now investigating conference spending. Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) wants to know why the IRS sent the director of its whistleblower program and 18 other employees to the Ritz-Carlton in Miami for an event meant for offshore financiers and investigators. Grassley asked the IRS to provide details on who authorized the travel and how much they paid for each attendee. Grassley said he receives regular letters from whistleblowers frustrated that the agency isn't investigating their claims. He said it indicated his "worst fears are coming true" about the program.
No Bullet Wound Found in Soldier Skype Death, Army Says
DEVELOPING: Army
investigators said Monday they found no bullet wound and no foul play in
the death of a soldier who died during a Skype video chat with his
wife.
Capt. Bruce Kevin Clark's wife said her husband fell forward and she saw a bullet hole in the closet behind him, raising the question of whether he had been shot.
But Christopher Grey, a spokesman for the Army Criminal Investigation Command, said Monday that no bullet wound was found in Clark's body.
Grey said an autopsy is being done to determine the cause of death.

One Simple Rule To Stop Unnecessary Wars
I’m sick of war.
Officially the cost of the war on terror has been $1.3 trillion. [6] And military spending — especially the interest on debt to pay for past wars — keeps growing year on year:
As General Eisenhower noted:
Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.
This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its labourers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. We pay for a single fighter with a half-million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people. This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.
The cost in life was been ever steeper; over a million Iraqis died.

New Obama Slogan Has Long Ties To Marxism, Socialism
The Obama campaign apparently didn't look backwards into history when selecting its new campaign slogan, "Forward" — a word with a long and rich association with European Marxism.
Many Communist and radical publications and entities throughout the 19th and 20th centuries had the name "Forward!" or its foreign cognates. Wikipedia has an entire section called "Forward (generic name of socialist publications)."
"The name Forward carries a special meaning in socialist political terminology. It has been frequently used as a name for socialist, communist and other left-wing newspapers and publications," the online encyclopedia explains.

Obama Launches Campaign in Empty Arena
Barack Obama launched his campaign in unspectacular fashion today at Ohio State University, the largest college in the crucial swing state. A photo posted to twitter by Mitt Romney's campaign spokesman Ryan Williams reveals sparse attendance. The above image, according to Williams, was taken during the President's first official campaign speech.
During the speech, Obama ripped into the presumptive GOP nominee and discussed nation building at home, but the most newsworthy item of the day was not the talking points Obama delivered: it was the crowd... or lack thereof. According to ABC News, the Obama campaign had expected an "overflow" of people. Instead, the arena looked half-empty. The Columbus Dispatch reports
that Obama organizers even had people move from the seats to the floor
of the gym in order to project a larger crowd on television.
"Shattering The American Dream": The US Government's Ponzi Scheme
While Larry Kotlikoff was markedly pessimistic in the past (as we noted here just over a year ago), it seems it was a dress-rehearsal to his latest evisceration of what he now calls the US Government's Ponzi Scheme. In a recent VoxEU article on America's "fiscal child abuse", Kotlikoff and two colleagues demolish the idea of sustainability of government finances and how well off younger generations will be compared with their parents. The game is close to over and for today's children, the American dream will be just that - a dream!

Hospital Lauches Investigation After Patient Set on Fire During Surgery
The chief of surgery at New York’s Lincoln Hospital “set a patient on
fire” during an operation, causing severe burns on the man’s neck and
chest, The Post has learned.
Dr. Jay Yelon was performing a tracheotomy on April 19 to insert a breathing tube when his electronic scalpel, which gives off tiny sparks, came close to the patient’s oxygen supply, igniting a “minor explosion,” hospital insiders say.
Before the fire was extinguished, unconscious Enrique Ruiz suffered second-degree burns on his neck and chest. He awoke from sedation in searing pain.
