Britain has a law called the Nuclear Explosions Act. Basically, it says that anyone knows about a nuclear explosion somewhere, about how it was caused or had some part in it, goes to jail for a bit over 30 days, and if they can’t prove they are “innocent,” the 30 days becomes a lifetime. Few know of this law or why it exists. One British prime minister faced a secret hearing, one in which he was accused of violating this law. http://salem-news.com/articles/october202011/freedom-medal-gd.php http://salem-news.com/articles/october202011/freedom-medal-gd.php Thu, 20 Oct 2011 01:16:00 PDT Drugs and Guns are the two most prolific and profitable industries in the world.

The second type of history is sometimes referred to as “revisionist.” A more accurate description would be to call it “real” history, with the inverse being true of the former kind. http://salem-news.com/articles/october012011/conjuring-hitler-ew.php http://salem-news.com/articles/october012011/conjuring-hitler-ew.php Sat, 01 Oct 2011 02:06:00 PDT What has just occurred at the UN always happens when ingrained power faces 'showdowns' over any loss of their domain.

Responding to Putin's statement that 9/11 inside job theories are "complete nonsense," Dick Cheney thanked Putin for his support and added, "Vlad didn't do those apartment bombings either, no matter what the conspiracy theorists say. That's complete nonsense... http://salem-news.com/articles/august032011/putin-cheney-kb.php http://salem-news.com/articles/august032011/putin-cheney-kb.php Wed, 03 Aug 2011 17:11:00 PDT The very fundamental nature of progress is to find a commonality, but if there is a lack of universality, all roads become stale. This is the very essence of the breakdown in our global economy, every country looking for the kill, the power and most disgusting; superiority. Vladimir Putin's statement that the U.S. is “living like parasites off the global economy” is a prime example of the breakdown of the symbiotic resistance plaguing our international community. http://salem-news.com/articles/august022011/global-economy-sa.php http://salem-news.com/articles/august022011/global-economy-sa.php Tue, 02 Aug 2011 18:30:00 PDT Vladimir Putin says the United States is feeding on the world economy like a "parasite". In an AFP article, Russia's Prime Minister stated that the world is facing serious economic pressure because Americans built up an unsustainable debt that threatens the entire global financial system. “The country is living in debt. It is not living within its means, shifting the weight of responsibility on other countries and in a way acting as a parasite,” Putin said. http://salem-news.com/articles/august012011/american-peril-tk.php http://salem-news.com/articles/august012011/american-peril-tk.php Mon, 01 Aug 2011 21:05:00 PDT
