Nigerian man was in terror database
http://waronyou.com/topics/nigerian-man-was-in-terror-database/
A Nigerian man charged Saturday with attempting to blow up a U.S. airliner on Christmas Day was listed in a U.S. terrorism database after his father told State Department officials that he was worried about his son’s radical beliefs and extremist connections, officials said.
The suspect, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, was granted a two-year tourist visa by the U.S. Embassy in London in June 2008 and has traveled to the United States at least twice before, officials said. His name was added to a catch-all terrorism-related database last month, when his father reported concerns about his son’s “radicalization and associations” to the U.S. Embassy in Nigeria, a senior administration official said.
Abdulmutallab, 23, was subdued by passengers and crew members aboard Northwest Airlines Flight 253 on Friday after he ignited an explosive device that set his pants leg and part of the airplane, which was preparing to land in Detroit, on fire. The incident marks the latest apparent attempt by terrorists to bring down a U.S. aircraft through the use of an improvised weapon and set in motion a series of urgent security measures that disrupted global air travel during the frenetic holiday weekend.

Forgive the pun, but this would seem to be something of a no-brainer. Quoth the levitating Lotus: “Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone as we’re approaching this new year, I felt it was time to let go of some things that have been gathering dust. Some old things, and some new things, I tried to pick out tracks that I know yall haven’t heard yet so there should be surprises around every turn. can’t believe i’ve been making tracks for over 10 years now..That said, there’s so much to learn still. I hope you all enjoy this mix. Thanks to the Gaslamp Killer for doing an incredible job on this.

The Rich Have Stolen The Economy
The Rich Have Stolen The Economy
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner’s closest aides earned millions of dollars a year working for Goldman Sachs, Citigroup and other Wall Street firms. Bloomberg reports that none of these aides faced Senate confirmation. Yet, they are overseeing the handout of hundreds of billions of dollars of taxpayer funds to their former employers.
The gifts of billions of dollars of taxpayers’ money provided the banks with an abundance of low cost capital that has boosted the banks’ profits, while the taxpayers who provided the capital are increasingly unemployed and homeless.
JPMorgan Chase announced that it has earned $3.6 billion in the third quarter of this year.
Goldman Sachs has made so much money during this year of economic crisis that enormous bonuses are in the works. London Evening Standard reports that Goldman Sachs’ “5,500 London staff can look forward to record average payouts of around 500,000 pounds ($800,000) each. Senior executives will get bonuses of several million pounds each with the highest paid as much as 10 million pounds ($16 million).“
In the event the banksters can’t figure out how to enjoy the riches, the Financial Times is offering a new magazine–”How To Spend It.” New York City’s retailers are praying for some of it, suffering a 15.3% vacancy rate on Fifth Avenue. Statistician John Williams (shadowstats.com) reports that retail sales adjusted for inflation have declined to the level of 10 years ago: “Virtually 10 years worth of real retail sales growth has been destroyed in the still unfolding depression.”

Merck Wins U.S. Approval for Gardasil Vaccine in Boys
Merck & Co.’s Gardasil, a vaccine used to prevent cervical cancer in women, won U.S. regulatory approval for preventing genital warts in boys.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration cleared the vaccine for use in males ages 9 to 26, Merck said today in a statement.
Gardasil protects against a sexually transmitted infection called human papillomavirus, or HPV, that can lead to cervical cancer in women and genital warts and cancer of the penis and anus in men. Gardasil, approved for females ages 9 to 26, is given mostly to school-age girls as a U.S.-recommended routine vaccination. Expanding the shot’s use could revive sales, which declined 5 percent last year, analysts have said.

First Black President to Reinstate Slavery?
First Black President to Reinstate Slavery?
When tyrants want to take the next big step towards
totalitarianism, they usually toss out some “trial balloons,” both
to see how people react and to begin desensitizing people to the
new fascist agenda. If they’re smart, they first propose a big leap
toward totalitarianism, and then cut it back to a small step. [...]

Bright Spots on the Foreclosure Front?
Amid the gloom and doom of the foreclosure crisis, there’s the state of Nebraska.
In the last three months, nearly 870,000 homes throughout the country have entered some stage of the foreclosure process, 29% more than the same period a year earlier, according to RealtyTrac. But in Nebraska, the cornfield-strewn homeland of Warren Buffett, filings are down 91%.
In fact, Nebraska has only recorded 90 foreclosure filings in the past three months. To put that in perspective, that’s one in every 8,676 households. Nevada, which tops the nation’s foreclosure charts (it logged 45,266 filings in the last three months), has seen one foreclosure per every 24 households.
Nebraska isn't the only place where foreclosures appear to be stemming. RealtyTrac’s latest data show a decrease in foreclosure filings in 16 states, including Montana, Massachusetts, North Carolina, New Mexico and Colorado, which have all seen foreclosures filings fall by 30% or more. (See our table below for more information.)
So does this mean things are turning around?
Sadly, this trend may be short-lived, says Erin Smith, senior economist with Moody’s Economy.com. Employment in these areas is starting to weaken and you can’t have a strong housing market when unemployment is rising. “We’re forecasting that while foreclosure rates are performing better in these regions, the gap will shrink,” he says. “I wouldn’t expect these states to be outperforming a year from now.”
Many of these states are bucking the foreclosure trend thanks to their relatively stable labor markets. In Nebraska, for example, the unemployment rate in January was 4.3%, up from 3.9% in December 2008, but still low compared with a 7.6% national average for that month. The major industries in the region — mining, manufacturing and construction — have so far held up.
Even construction has remained strong thanks to the region’s relatively mild real estate price declines, says Smith. Nebraska didn't see the wild housing price appreciation brought on by speculators in Florida and Nevada, for example, so it hasn’t had severe price declines.
Between 2002 and 2006, the median price of existing single-family homes in Omaha, Neb., went up just 13%, according to the National Association of Realtors. Between 2006 and 2008, prices declined just 2%. Contrast this to the Miami Beach/ Ft. Lauderdale metro area, where prices jumped 93% between 2002 and 2006 and have dropped 23% since. (All data are as of year-end 2008.)
Local and community banks also remain fairly healthy in regions that didn’t go through these boom-and-bust cycles, so they've been able to continue lending to homeowners, Smith says.
The foreclosure numbers can also be a little deceiving. The decline in foreclosure rates in some states is simply caused by backlogs in the court systems, says Rick Sharga, senior vice president of RealtyTrac. In New Jersey, for example, foreclosure filings per household were down 74% in February, compared with February 2008, even though the housing situation there isn’t getting any better.
The big surprise in February, in fact, was that foreclosure filings continued to increase overall, despite the foreclosure freezes that the big banks unilaterally implemented last month in anticipation of President Obama’s housing rescue plan. “When you have all these big players agreeing to a freeze, it’s surprising to see an increase,” Sharga says. “And one that pushed February to be the third-highest month [in foreclosure filings] so far.”
A sign, perhaps, that the foreclosure tide has been too strong to contain -- no matter what the government tries to put in place to stop it.
Bucking the Foreclosure Trend
These states have seen foreclosure filings over the past three months decline fairly significantly year over year. But just how long can these positive figures last?
