    As most scientists know, the Earth emits as much radio energy as a small star and with the advent of WiFi, Bluetooth and the iPhone, we as a society are continually emitting ever increasing amounts of electromagnetic (EM) transmissions. These EM emissions are interacting with the solar wind, forcing it back upon itself and therefore interfering with the Sun’s ability to generate sunspots. This is predicted by peer-reviewed models showing ever lower solar cycles in the future and is proven by the delayed start of cycle 24. There is a scientific consensus that humanity is emitting ever larger amounts of...

    President Nixon had a question soon after the Watergate break-in: "Who the hell is Ken Dahlberg?" The FBI was asking the same thing as it checked out the burglary of the Democratic National Committee's Washington, D.C., headquarters. What did a millionaire hearing-aid manufacturer and chief Midwest money-raiser for Nixon in 1972 have to do with the actual break-in? Nothing, except that a $25,000 check he collected legally from a campaign donor ended up in the personal account of one of the burglars. The 54-year-old Minnesotan was questioned by the FBI, but he was never accused or implicated in any wrongdoing....

    MADRID (Reuters) - Spanish police have seized a boat in the Atlantic Ocean suspected of carrying several tonnes of cocaine and arrested its 20 crew members in a major drugs bust, officials said on Saturday. The head of Spain's anti-drug program said he believed more than five tonnes of cocaine were aboard the boat heading for Italy, but said police were still sifting through the vessel and might need several days to complete their search. ``If the information from the police is confirmed, we will be talking about an important amount, probably more than five tonnes of cocaine,'' said Gonzalo ...

    The fight against an effort by the U.S. Forest Service to keep a road closed sparks an anti-government movement among people fed up with what they call unreasonable policies JarBidge, Nev. - In a Fourth of July rally, hundreds of activists armed with picks and shovels converged on a remote outpost along the Idaho-Nevada border to open a road that has become a symbol of their frustration with the federal government. Many were ranchers who have spent years fighting regulations that restrict their rights to water and grazing on public lands. Others were mountain bikers and off-roaders who complain ...

    HONOR THE MEMORY Hungary: October 22, 1956 By Bela Liptak There must have been a couple of thousand students in the aula that day, but none of us were really paying much attention to what was going on. One could hear a constant murmur in the hall. It was like any other meeting in the communist world. They talked at us and our only defense was not to listen. Below our gallery, on the main floor of the aula, the two Rectors of the dual university, László Gillemot and Tibor Cholnoky were at the microphone. With them were some professors, ...

    By Ellen Wulfhorst NEW YORK (Reuters) - A Ku Klux Klan group staged a small, silent demonstration in New York Saturday, surrounded by thousands of angry protesters chanting their contempt. Sixteen men and women wore Klan robes and hoods but not face masks, and they did not use a sound system, respecting limits set by the administration of Mayor Rudolph Giuliani. In a victory for the mayor, those limits were upheld in a last-minute ruling, issued at 2 p.m., by U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Lawyers for the white supremacists had challenged the city, winning in federal court ...

    OUTSIDE ASSINOVSKAYA, Russia (Reuters) - A Russian mechanized column advanced to positions inside western Chechnya and blocked off the last road leading in and out of the rebel region overnight, a Reuters journalist said Saturday. Reuters television cameraman Arbi Tosuyev said at least 19 Russian tanks and armoured vehicles had occupied positions on the main highway into neighboring Ingushetia. Infantry had dug trenches in fields previously filled with refugees that fled fighting in the breakaway region. ``They're not letting anybody pass. It's completely blocked off. They said they would shoot if I didn't go back,'' Tosuyev said by telephone from ...

    UK Times Article After an Israeli research institute said it could break Europe's banking codes in less than a second, a initiative has been launched that could result in unbreakable codes. The European Institute of Quantum Computing Network was launched on Monday, to bring companies and research labs throughout Europe together in the hope that the new technology - Quantum Computing - can be taken from the theory to the high street. The institute was founded a few weeks after news leaked from the Israel's Weizmann Institute that it was using a mixture of quantum computing and special optical technology ...

    WASHINGTON -- If anyone in Washington qualifies as an ardent foe of encryption, it's congressman Porter Goss (R-Florida). Two years ago, the chairman of the House Intelligence committee tried to make it a crime to distribute privacy-protecting software, such as PGP or recent versions of Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer. The plan failed, but Goss didn't give up. On Wednesday, he and the panel's ranking Democrat introduced a bill to jump-start the US market for encryption products with backdoors that would support government surveillance. The "Tax Relief for Responsible Encryption Act" gives companies a 15 percent tax break on the ...

    HOUSTON (Reuters) - U.S. Border Patrol agents in Texas detained an alleged serial killer who is the target of an international manhunt three weeks ago, but released him because their computer system apparently failed to show he was wanted on criminal charges, federal authorities said Friday. The Immigration and Naturalization Service said in a statement that Border Patrol agents on June 1 apprehended Rafael Resendez Ramirez, a train-hopping Mexican drifter sought in eight brutal slayings, near the border city of El Paso for entering the United States illegally, but sent him back to Mexico the next day. Resendez, 39, is ...
