A boffin at the Bulgarian national Space Research Institute has stated that not only are aliens living among us, but that they object strongly to "immoral behaviour" by humanity - such as causing global warming. "Unnatural" acts such as use of cosmetics and "artificial insemination" are also frowned upon by the extraterrestrial visitors. Luchezar Filipov, deputy head of the space institute at the government's Bulgarian Academy of Science, made these startling assertions to Bulgarian media earlier this week. The Sofia Echo, referencing other local media, quotes the eminent space brainbox as stating that "they [aliens] are here right now, among...

More than 22,000 illegal immigrants with criminal charges or convictions have been arrested in Texas through a 1-year-old program that links FBI and federal immigration databases, Homeland Security officials said Thursday. About 12 percent of them, or 2,700 people, were charged or convicted of what authorities call "level one" crimes such as murder, rape, kidnapping or narcotics violations with a sentence of more than one year. (snip) Under the new system, fingerprints are run simultaneously through a national database to check criminal history and through a Homeland Security database to check the person's immigration status. All those arrested in jurisdictions...

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Obama administration has met many of the border security benchmarks Congress set in 2007 as a prerequisite to immigration reform and now it's time to change the law, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said Friday. Napolitano, designated by President Barack Obama to lead the administration's immigration reform efforts, said many members of Congress had said they could support immigration reform, but only after border security improved, Napolitano said. "Fast forward to today, and many of the benchmarks these members of Congress set in 2007 have been met," she said in a speech to the Center for...

Federal program checks fingerprints of local crime suspects D.C. police will be the next department to take part in a federal program whose ultimate aim is to check the immigration status of every person booked into a local jail, homeland security officials announced Thursday. The program, known as Secure Communities, matches inmates' fingerprints against a federal database so that federal authorities can identify and possibly remove deportable illegal immigrants before they are released from custody. Similar checks are done at all 1,200 federal and state prisons. But authorities have lacked the ability to do them across the nation's 3,100 local...

Pale and snub-nosed with long arms and curving claws, an "alien" discovered in September had five teenagers thinking they'd had a close encounter in a Panama creek. "I was in the river and I felt something grabbing my legs," one of the boys told the local television program Telemetro Reporta a few days after the sighting in the Cerro Azul region of Panama City. "We took it out of the water and started throwing rocks and sticks at it. We had never seen anything like that." After beating the creature until they thought it was dead, the teenagers threw it...

WHARTON -- An undocumented Honduran immigrant, whose bail became the subject of a New Jersey Supreme Court case earlier this year, pleaded guilty today to sexually-assaulting a 8-year-old girl.   Manuel Fajardo-Santos, 31, admitted today to sexually assaulting his girlfriend's younger sister in Wharton on Aug. 24, 2008 after returning home from a party.

Friend -- Remember all those socialist-hollering, Glenn Beck-worshiping, tea party wing nuts from this summer's town hall meetings? If Sarah Palin gets her way, one of them could soon be a member of Congress. Next week marks one year since President Obama was elected. The amount of money we have in the bank will be used as an instant referendum on his first year. With Sarah Palin out there raising hundreds of thousands of dollars to stack Congress with those tea party lunatics, the media is watching to see how Grassroots Democrats respond. Help us raise $500,000 in response to...

Friend, I enjoy writing these weekly columns, and I especially enjoy the mounting response I've been getting, mostly positive. I even appreciate the negative ones and disagreements as well – as long as they're civil. As I was preparing this week's column, I read this from my own e-mails. And it's so good, I just want to share it with you. Naturally, I don't have all the e-mail addresses of my readers, and this is the best way to see that you get a look at this one. I certainly couldn't have written it better myself. So, with thanks to...

James Carville is leading a charge for retail locations in the United States to ban a controversial Halloween costume. The costume depicts an “illegal alien” carrying a super-sized green card in his hand while wearing an orange prison jumpsuit with the words “illegal alien” stenciled across the front. According to Carville the garb is “insensitive and offensive” to “hardworking humanoid life-forms just because they happen to be from another planet.” Carville also advised The Vitamin Press that this issue is extremely important to him because “both of my parents came from Uranus.” E.T., head of the Society Humanely Integrating Alien...

Science-fiction is well on the way to becoming science fact with engineers from Activelink, a Kyoto-based subsidiary of Panasonic, developing an exoskeleton suit inspired by the "Power Loader" suit Ripley wore in her climactic battle with the Queen Alien in Aliens. And, just like in the movie, the Power Loader suit is designed to give its wearer superhuman strength for the lifting of heavy objects – in the movie it was cargo, but Activelink also has construction and disaster relief operations in its sights. The suit is constructed from an aluminum-alloy frame and weighs 230kg (507 lbs). Similar to...

The question of whether or not gun registration violates the Second Amendment may be settled by the courts in the future. But the recent use of prosecutorial discretion to prosecute a Utah man for an innocent and non-material mistake on gun dealer transfer forms demonstrates the danger of decentralized gun registration by way of ATF Form 4473, especially since the court of appeals in this case affirmed the trial court's dismissal of the charge only because "an alien registration number is not 'information required for a background check' as contemplated by Utah Code section 76-10-526(4)(b)." State v. Kidus Chane Yohannes,...

IS this bizarre creature really an alien baby or just part of an elaborate hoax - and was it the cause of a mysterious revenge death? Mexican TV revealed the almost unbelievable story - in 2007, a baby 'alien' was found alive by a farmer in Mexico. He drowned it in a ditch out of fear, and now two years later scientists have finally been able to announce the results of their tests on this sinister-looking carcass. At the end of last year the farmer, Marao Lopez, handed the corpse over to university scientists who carried out DNA tests and...

Newly released documents show that UFO sightings in the UK leapt five-fold in the same year that the alien invader blockbuster Independence Day was released. So is there a link between UFOs and science-fiction? In 1996, the Earth was under attack from an alien mothership. Do you remember? Fortunately, Will Smith was on hand to save the planet. This did happen. At least in cinemas. Independence Day was the blockbuster film of the year, but the fiction it portrayed may have had an impact on the real world - a huge jump in the number of reported sightings of UFOs....

July 30, 2009 Yatesbury, Wiltshire County, England - After midnight on Tuesday, July 14, 2009, Yorkshire engineer, Winston Keech, had set up his four infrared cameras on a pole looking across the East Field wheat below Adams Grave. The rest of the huge East Field had not been planted this year and was a mass of dark soil next to the far west end wheat. Winston is an entrepreneur who develops renewable energy systems and is fascinated by crop formations.

Saturday, July 25, 2009 STAR-LEDGER STAFF An unlicensed driver who struck and killed a 72-year-old Newton woman in a hit-and-run collision in Morristown in December was sentenced yesterday to three years of probation and fined $500. The Dec. 13 incident occurred around 6:30 p.m. when Andy Maguino, who was driving a delivery car for a local pizzeria, hit Alice Myers as she was walking across Mount Kemble Avenue near Doughty Street, authorities said. Myers died several hours later at Morristown Memorial Hospital. Much to the dismay of Myers' family, Maguino, a 30-year-old native of Peru who authorities say is in...

A violent sexual predator is expected to be sentenced today to anywhere from 10 to 50 years in prison for chasing down, beating and sexually assaulting an 18-year-old woman on a street here two years ago. Eric Rangel, 22, was found guilty by a jury in March of committing the April 22, 2007 attack at 3 a.m. on North Beverwyck Road. At the time of the assault, Rangel, an undocumented Mexican immigrant, was employed as a cook at a pizzeria about a half-mile from where the incident occurred. In the trial in Superior Court in Morristown, Rangel's attorney, public defender...

TAYLOR - A 40-year-old man has been charged in the brutal rape and attempted murder of a 5-year-old girl after a holiday picnic at her family's home, police said. Felix E. Montoya, of 270 Tamworth Drive, was discovered half-clothed in the child's bedroom early Sunday by a shocked family who kept him at bay until police arrived.

The victim was treated at a hospital for injuries to her face and head, adult bite marks on her thigh and shoulder and severe rape-related injuries, according the criminal complaint....

Reporting from San Francisco -- The assault on Amanda Kiefer at dusk in San Francisco's posh Pacific Heights was extraordinary enough for its cruelty. A stranger, later identified as Alexander Izaguirre, snatched her purse and hopped into an SUV, police say. The driver sped forward to run Kiefer down. Terrified, she leaped onto the hood and saw Izaguirre and the driver laughing. The driver slammed on the brakes, propelling Kiefer to the pavement. Her skull fractured. Blood oozed from her ear. Only after the July 2008 attack did Kiefer learn of the crime's political ramifications. Izaguirre, police told her, was...

Given Obama's recent firing of the whistleblowing Inspector General (on top of everything else), should the coming September 12 Tea Party rally in DC be officially re-named "The IMPEACH NOW Tea Party"? I think that THAT would send a really powerful, impossible to ignore or spin message, AND double the turnout! ;-/

CHANDLER, AZ – A 21-year-old man is in custody for allegedly throwing his girlfriend's 2-year-old girl onto concrete ground, critically injuring the child. Police said Jeremiahs Aguilar admitted to police that he threw the toddler because she wouldn't stop crying. On Saturday, Josepha Talavara, 20, allegedly called 9-1-1 and said her daughter was unresponsive. Police responded to her home near Chandler Boulevard and Fresno Street where they discovered the child in critical condition.

SAN DIEGO — A Mexican man is in federal custody Monday after Border Patrol agents found 73 illegal immigrants inside the semi-truck he was driving. The man stopped at the Interstate 8 checkpoint in Pine Valley Saturday about 5:45 p.m. and agents decided to inspect his truck after observing the that driver seemed nervous, Border Patrol officials said. Agents found a plastic container inside the cab which the driver said was methamphetamine. They then opened the doors of the trailer and discovered 50 men and 23 women inside, officials said. The 50-year-old truck driver was arrested and is in federal...

Even though people affected not to like the movies at the time, George Lucas's Star Wars prequel trilogy turns out to have preen pretty influential. Notwithstanding the time travel shenanigans, the new Terminator saga is a prequel trilogy. The events of the Christian Bale-led movies are clearly leading to a climax where John Connor send his young pal Kyle Reese back in time to protect Sarah Connor and incidentally to become his dad. Now the Alien movies are getting in on the act: For the last week or so rumours had been circulating of an Alien remake. Those of us...

OP-ED: Illegal immigrants are heroes Growing up in this land of "equal opportunity," it is not uncommon to hear about the American dream. But what is the true American dream, who has achieved it and more importantly who can actually achieve it? James Turslow Adams coined the phrase "the American dream" in his 1931 novel, The Epic of America. Adams states in his book: "the American Dream is 'that dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement.'" The United States prides itself on...

Rangel-Ochoa, whom police arrested after he was treated for his injuries, remained in jail today, accused of driving with a suspended license. He is not in the U.S. legally, according to police; they did not know his country of origin. Authorities said Rangel-Ochoa's license had been suspended and revoked numerous times for offenses ranging from failure to complete driver improvement classes to driving under the influence. In 2003 his driver's license was revoked for 15 years following a conviction for third-offense DUI. He now will face a charge of misdemeanor motor vehicle homicide, Sgt. Doug Klein said in a police...

A PLUMBER reeled in agony as his stomach ruptured — and the embryonic remains of his TWIN spilled out. The lumpy mass forced its way out after lying inside Gavin Hyatt’s abdomen since he was born 30 years ago. In a scene echoing the horror movie Alien, Gavin staggered into his GP’s surgery bleeding from his belly button. His stunned GP Dr Joe Santos said: “It was like something from Alien. I didn’t believe Gavin when he said something was coming out of his belly button until I saw him.”

A civil trial pitting the Indiantown guardian of a brain-damaged Guatemalan native against Martin Memorial Medical Center over his 2003 deportation will begin June 23, an attorney in the case confirmed. The trial, claiming false imprisonment against the hospital after officials there used a chartered jet to return former patient Luis Jimenez to Guatemala City, is expected to last through July 22. Attorneys are expected to meet in court June 22 to resolve outstanding motions before jury selection begins the next day, said West Palm Beach attorney Jack Scarola, who represents Jimenez and his court-appointed guardian Motejo Gaspar Montejo, who...

MIAMI - Immigrants and their families gathered at rallies across the country Friday to push for changes to U.S. immigration policy, but as a swine flu outbreak continued to spread, attendance at some events was smaller than organizers had hoped.

An undocumented alien and his wife were turned over to the Border Patrol on Saturday after police were dispatched to Wal-Mart in reference to children left inside a vehicle. Someone notified Safford Police at about 12:26 p.m. that children were alone in a blue 1996 Chevrolet Lumina and they were sweating. Officer Herschel Medlin arrived on scene and confirmed three children were alone in the car and sweating. The ages of the children are 8, 9 and a 5-month-old baby. The older children told Medlin their father, Omar Marquez, was inside Wal-Mart shopping. Medlin then had the store page Marquez...

DURHAM, N.H. - They came in the dead of the New Hampshire night in 1961, or so the story goes, about a dozen, short, hairless humanoids who snatched a terrified Portsmouth couple into a hovering spacecraft for a very close encounter of the medical examination kind. Alien abductionNothing would ever be the same for Betty and Barney Hill, a politically active, socially conscious couple who rocketed into the international spotlight with the first widely publicized tale of alien abduction.

Evidence for an SSN Card for an Illegal Alien

Man gets 2 DWIs in 30 minutesBY JIM MUSTIAN THE DAILY IBERIAN Last Modified on Tuesday, April 7, 2009 2:04 PM CDT A New Iberia man was charged with his second and third driving while intoxicated offenses Friday night after he reportedly left the scene of two car crashes within 30 minutes of each other.

INDIANAPOLIS -- An undercover police officer shot and killed a man in the parking lot of a Wal-Mart store on Indianapolis' northwest side Thursday afternoon. The shooting happened about 100 yards from the front entrance of the store in the 4500 block of Lafayette Road just after 2 p.m., causing a chaotic scene outside the store, 6News' Sarah Cornell reported.

Women and girls as young as 16 were smuggled into this country from Mexico and brought to Charlotte to work as prostitutes. For $25 and $30, authorities said, they performed sex acts – sometimes with 20 men a day. Jorge Flores Rojas, a 44-year- old undocumented Mexican national accused of running the sex trafficking ring, has been sentenced in Charlotte to 24 years in prison, authorities said Tuesday. He was ordered to pay $117,000 in restitution to one woman. He also must register as a sex offender. Acting U.S. Attorney Edward Ryan said Tuesday that prostitution rings like the one...

The new movie ALIEN TRESPASS opens in theatres Friday, April 3, and its value for audiences now may be below our conscious radar. When watching ALIEN TRESPASS, we might wonder about the intentions of producer and director R.W. Goodwin, and writers James Swift and Steven P. Fisher in making this 1950s-type UFO movie. Goodwin contributed to more than 100 episodes of "The X-Files" so we know he has a sophisticated understanding of many current questions about UFOs and government activities related to them. Did Goodwin, Swift and Fisher intend to make fun of these old movies, create a nostalgic tribute...

In November 2008, I wrote a column asking why, when I cite statistics from the Census Bureau, the U.S. Department of Labor or the California Department of Education that prove that immigration adds dramatically to overpopulation, depresses American workers’ wages or adds disproportionately to classroom size, some readers label me a racist. Others, even more vehement, call me a hate monger. Why throw stones at me? After all, I wondered out loud, my sources are beyond reproach. No one challenges their methodology. My purpose over the two decades that I’ve brought immigration facts into the greater light of day is...

Becoming Illegal The Honorable Tom Harkin 731 Hart Senate Office Building Phone (202)-224-3254 Washington, DC 20510 Dear Senator Harkin, As a native Iowan and excellent customer of the Internal Revenue Service, I am writing to ask for your assistance. I have contacted the Department of Homeland Security in an effort to determine the process for becoming an illegal alien and they referred me to you. My primary reason for wishing to change my status from U.S. Citizen to illegal alien stems from the bill which was recently passed by the Senate and for which you voted. If my understanding of...

"There is not enough duck tape on planet earth to wrap your head so it doesn't explode. Blood will shoot out of your eyes....", is how Glenn starts the segment! Glenn Beck tells it like it is! Mayor White in Houston has put Policies in place forbidding LEOs from inquiring about immigration status. Allowing, and in many cases, encouraging day labor sites. Houston is one of the so-called sanctuary cities. Mayor White is responsible for this. Watch the segment here at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HX03UfddjCM

Don't believe Barack Obama's grandmother? Don't believe the ambassador to Kenya? How about Barack Obama's own Cabinet member? That's right – former presidential candidate and Obama's choice for secretary of commerce, Gov. Bill Richardson, slipped up. In an effort to reach out to the Hispanic community, he admitted what Barack Obama has been trying to hide all these months: "Barack Obama is an immigrant." See it for yourself:

Eligibility lawyer argues for president's deportation Berg seeks proper treatment for 'illegal alien' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted: February 25, 2009 11:20 pm Eastern © 2009 WorldNetDaily A Democrat who served as deputy attorney general in Pennsylvania and now is leading a number of lawsuits over the eligibility of President Barack Obama to occupy the Oval Office has told radio talk show host Michael Savage that not only is Obama not eligible to be president, he's probably an illegal alien and should be deported.

Loyal to Liberty THOUGHTLET What signals the difference between a "socialist" and a "communist"? It's the gradual repression of political and civil liberty culminating in the open prosecution and suppression of dissident views. But this suppression cannot come about until a monopoly has been established over access to the seats of government executive and decision making power. The key manifestation of this monopoly is of course some form of party dictatorship. Aside from all the evidence in his known background, associates, policy preferences and political actions one of the main reasons I make bold to call Obama a communist is...

As soon as I heard the report on Good Morning America today describing a possible suspect in the murder of Chandra Levy as an “immigrant,” my antenna went up. So, was he a high-tech worker, here on a H-1B visa? Or perhaps a permanent resident, proud holder of a green card? Somehow I didn’t think so. It took all of 15 seconds to Google out this Washington Post article stating that the possible suspect, Ingmar A. Guandique, is an illegal immigrant. But GMA didn’t bother to mention that inconvenient fact. ABC’s Pierre Thomas narrated the segment, which began with Chandra’s...

They are down and out in the United States and homesick for Guatemala. And El Salvador. And Honduras. And Mexico. And they would go back without even an American penny in their pocket if only they had enough to get home. They are the discouraged and disillusioned Central American and Mexican day laborers who, in a sign of how hard times are in this economy, find themselves so broke they can't send much, if any, money back to loved ones they haven't seen for years. "We have lost our reason for being here," laments Jose Perez, 42, a Guatemalan living...

A doctor on her way to work at Brooklyn Hospital was dragged under a Fort Greene stoop and raped after stepping out of the subway, cops said yesterday. The horrific attack happened at the corner of Felix and Fulton streets, only steps from the medical center, shortly after 6 a.m. Thursday. The thug, who covered his face with a scarf and was wearing a hat, grabbed his victim from behind and said he had a gun. He pulled her beneath the stairwell of a brownstone and raped her, cops said, then snatched her bag before escaping. Cops said the woman...

Detecting Alien Vegetation Could we find evidence of vegetation on distant exoplanets? The answer may be yes, according to recent work by Luc Arnold (Observatoire de Haute Provence) and team. If green vegetation on another planet is anything like what we have on Earth, then it will share a distinctive spectral signature called the Vegetation Red Edge, or VRE. The new paper creates climate simulations that explore whether planets with a distinctively different climate than modern Earth’s could be so detected.Two earlier eras are useful here. The Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) occurred 21,000 years ago, with global temperatures on...

The U.S. Department of Justice called the Mexican Drug Trafficking Organizations (DTO) the “greatest organized crime threat to the United States” in their 2009 National Drug Assessment report. Last year the Mexican drug cartels killed close to 5,700 people. A war has been raging along the Mexico-U.S. border as DTOs continue to fight for territory. The conflict between rival gangs leads to near daily discovery of bodies by Mexican authorities and open firefights between the gangs and the Mexican police and military are bringing chaos to border towns. The conflict has also crept its way the U.S. through the involvement...

Now I understand why Barack Obama chose Rahm Emanuel to be his Chief of Staff. Like his boss he is a magnet for scandal. This time the scandal involves immigration and the last President he worked for the Teflon-coated Bill Clinton. When Emamuel worked for Bubba, he bent the naturalization of immigrant rules to buy Clinton more votes for re-election: "He got every rule changed in the hiring of adjudicators so they could naturalize more Mexican nationals to vote for Bill Clinton, not to mention getting the rules changed to naturalize anyone," regardless of their criminal background, said the official,...

As previously reported by Weekly World News, John Thain is widely believed to be an alien at the center of an intergalactic conspiracy to bleed Earth’s financial institutions dry. This accusation has only been further substantiated after Thain’s demands for a $10 million bonus for 2008.
