The Chinese people are a bit upset with not being able to get inside the Pavilions...
The organizers should have restricted the number of people let in at a time... better to
allow fewer people and keep it open longer.

The 60,000 sq. foot (5574 sq. meter) United States pavilion, constructed largely from glass and steel, was designed by Canadian architect Clive Grout.[49] estimated $61 million ( paid by US Corps )
The exterior of the pavilion has been criticized as extremely unimaginative, resembling an ordinary office building. (Well Done Clive! )

What is truely frightening? The Government giving 5 Billion to Big Pharma for one, that's
one illness... H1N1 When we have 3- 4 other Pandemics swirling around.
Bring Back diseases? yes... people from India, other countries, could bring
over wild polio.
But there has to be a line drawn... how many is too many? Fot children under age 2
there has to be something safer. no mercury, no cow's blood, no LIVE vaccines.
The SCARE with polio... OMG... how about the monkey (simian) cancer in the polio vaccine
given to thousands? SV40 People know about it and the TRUST is not there.
Not everyone wants to give 30 plus vaccines to a child under age 5.
..............................
The SV40 Cancer Foundation is a lobbying organization devoted to raising the alarm about a potential link between the simian virus SV40 and human cancer.[1][2][3][4] The SV40 Cancer Foundation was founded by Raphaele and Michael Horwin. The Horwin's son Alexander Horwin was born on June 7, 1996 and was given the oral polio vaccine in November 1997. On August 10, 1998, Alexander was diagnosed with medulloblastoma, a malignant brain cancer, leading to his death on January 31, 1999. The Horwins contend that the polio vaccine their son ingested was contaminated with SV40, leading to his death.[5][6] The SV40 Cancer Foundation views their mission as raising public awareness of this threat, and lobbying for more research funding for this area. On September 10, 2003, the Horwins were successful in getting Congressman Dan Burton, Chair of the Subcommittee on Human Rights and Wellness, U.S. Government Reform Committee to hold a hearing into SV40 contamination of vaccines.[7] Even more troubling, the virus has been detected in tumors removed from people never inoculated with the contaminated vaccine, leading some to worry that those infected by the vaccine might be spreading SV40. The discovery of SV40 in human tumors has generated intense debate within the scientific community, pitting a handful of government health officials, who believe that the virus is harmless, against researchers from Boston to China who now suspect SV40 may be a human carcinogen. At stake are millions of research dollars and potential medical treatments for those afflicted with the cancers SV40 may be causing. In April, more than 60 scientists met in Chicago to discuss the controversial virus and how it works to defeat certain cells' natural defenses against cancer. "I believe that SV40 is carcinogenic (in humans)," said Dr. Michele Carbone of Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood, Ill. "We need to be creating therapies for people who have these cancers, and now we may be able to because we have a target - SV40." FRONTLINE The Vaccine War
SV40 is an abbreviation for Simian vacuolating virus 40 or Simian virus 40, a polyomavirus that is found in both monkeys and humans. Like other polyomaviruses, SV40 is a DNA virus that has the potential to cause tumors, but most often persists as a latent infection.
SV40 became a highly controversial subject after it was revealed that millions were exposed to the virus after receiving a contaminated polio vaccine. [1]

......... A Look At National ID Card Programs ................................................................ ............................................................................
May 11, 2010 At the heart of the Arizona immigration law is a requirement to show that you're here legally. For the past decade, Washington has been wrestling with a couple of ideas about how to verify that. One was Real ID; another was E-Verify. Robert Siegel talks to Chris Strohm, national security reporter for Congress Daily, to check on where those programs stand now. Listen here-

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in partnership with Social Security Administration.
According to the DHS website, more than 196,000 employers now use E-Verify. Over 1,400 companies enroll in the program every week.[1]
Senate makes E-Verify a permanent program
........................................................................... On July 8, 2009, the Senate approved by voice vote an amendment to the $42.9 billion FY 2010 Homeland Security Appropriations bill (H.R. 2892) that would permanently reauthorize the federal government’s E-Verify program and require federal contractors and subcontractors to use the program in order to verify that all new hires and existing employees directly performing work under the terms of the contract be authorized to work in the United States. The amendment was introduced by Senator Jeff Sessions (R-Ala). A motion to table the amendment was defeated prior to adoption by a vote of 44 to 53.
READ ............. :/ Text of H.R. 2892: Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2010 ............................................................................................................................... Oct 20, 2009 - Enrolled Bill. This is the final text of the bill or resolution as approved by both the Senate and House. This is the latest version of the bill currently available on GovTrack.

Art Linkletter Dies at 97

Art Linkletter
......................
 Early life and career
...................................... Linkletter was born Gordon Arthur Kelly in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Canada. In his autobiography, Confessions of a Happy Man (1960), he revealed that he had had no contact with his natural parents or his sister or two brothers since he was abandoned when only a few weeks old. He was adopted by Mary (née Metzler) and Fulton John Linkletter,[1][2] an evangelical preacher. When age 5 his family moved to San Diego, where he graduated from high school at age 16. During the early years of the Great Depression, he rode trains around the country doing odd jobs and meeting a wide variety of people.[3] In 1934, he earned a bachelor's degree from San Diego State Teacher College (now San Diego State University) (SDSU), where he was a member of the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity. While he attended San Diego State, he played for the basketball team, and swam for the swim team. He had previously planned to attend Springfield College, but did not for financial reasons.
In his junior year as he earned a degree in teaching, he took a job as a radio announcer at KGB in San Diego. Radio paid better than teaching, and Linkletter directed radio programs for fairs and expositions in the mid-1930s. In the 1940s, Linkletter worked in Hollywood with John Guedel on their pioneering radio show, People Are Funny, which employed audience participation, contests, and gags and served as a prototype of future game shows on radio and television.[3] People Are Funny became a television show in 1954 and ran until 1961.[4] Other early television shows Linkletter worked on included Life With Linkletter (1950-1952) and Hollywood Talent Scouts (1965-1966). He also acted in two movies, People Are Funny (1946) and Champagne for Caesar (1950). In 1963, Linkletter became the endorser and spokesman for Milton Bradley's Game of Life. His picture appeared on the box with the statement "I Heartily Endorse This Game", and also on the $100,000 bills featured in the game.
Linkletter was a shrewd businessman and made considerable wealth from a variety of investments. This financial success led to considerable philanthropy.
[edit] Later years
.................................... In 2005, at the age of 93, he opened the Happiest Homecoming on Earth celebrations for the fiftieth anniversary of Disneyland. Half a century earlier, he commentated on the opening day celebrations in 1955. For this, he was named a Disney Legend. Linkletter on The Jack Benny ShowLinkletter was once a spokesman for National Home Life, an insurance company. A Republican, he became a political organizer and a spokesman for the United Seniors Association, now known as USA Next, an alternative to the AARP. He was also a member of Pepperdine University's Board of Regents. He received a lifetime achievement Daytime Emmy award in 2003. Also, he was recently a member of the President's Council on Service and Civic Participation (the council ended in November 2008).
Linkletter received honorary degrees from a number of universities, including Pepperdine University and the University of Prince Edward Island. He served for many years as a trustee at Springfield College and donated money to build the swim center named in his honor. In early 2008, Linkletter suffered a mild stroke.
Art Linkletter died on May 26, 2010 at his home in Bel Air, California.[5][6][3][4] He will be buried in Forest Lawn-Hollywood Hills Cemetery.[7]
[edit] Personal life
..................................... Linkletter had one of the longest marriages of any celebrity in America, at over 74 years. He married Lois Foerster on November 25, 1935, and they had five children: Arthur Jack (known as Jack Linkletter, a TV host), Dawn, Robert, Sharon, and Diane. He was also a good friend of Walt Disney. Linkletter outlived three of his five children. His 20-year-old daughter, Diane Linkletter, died on October 4, 1969, by jumping out of her sixth-floor kitchen window.[1][8] Linkletter claimed that she committed suicide because she was on, or having a flashback from, an LSD trip, but toxicology tests done after the incident detected no signs of LSD use, and it is quite likely that the drug played no part in her suicide.[9] Linkletter spoke out against drugs to prevent children from straying into a drug habit. His record, We Love You, Call Collect, recorded before her death, featured a discussion about permissiveness in modern society. It featured a rebuttal by Diane, called Dear Mom and Dad. The record won a 1970 Grammy Award for the "Best Spoken Word Recording".
His son Robert died in an automobile accident on September 12, 1980.[10]
His son Arthur Jack Linkletter, (1937–2007), died from lymphoma.[11]

 Tumbleweed >>> Tiny House Company
is a Sebastopol, California architecture and construction business owned by Jay Shafer,
who designs and builds very small houses between 50 and 750 square feet (5 and 70 m2)
in area.
Shafer named his company after the first tiny house he built for himself in 1997. Jay helped
establish the Small House Society[1] in 2002. In 2003, he was commissioned by Gregory
Paul Johnson[2] to build The Mobile Hermitage[3], which became one of Jay's first
commercially sold homes.
Shafer builds his smaller designs himself and ships them by truck to consumers.
Many of these smaller designs are mobile homes with built-in wheels. For his larger
designs, Shafer sells floor plans for on-site construction.

Scientology Cont.....
Did you see the VIDEO where Mitt Romney mentioned L. Ron Hubbards' Book?
OMG
The Guy wants to be President :O
Mormons believe they will rule over their own planets...
and Scientology is even more... UNUSUAL
The Xenu leaflet
.................................
tells in some detail the story the big secret that is in the OT III level.
It tells of the alien galactic ruler Xenu who was in charge of Earth and 75 other planets in this part of the galaxy some 75 million years ago and how he cured overpopulation by paralysing the people of the other planets, flying them to Earth in DC-8 space planes, arranging them round a volcano to murder them with H bombs.
Not done with that these souls of these murdered people were gathered up and boxed, taken to cinemas and shown films for several days. The end result being that the souls clustered together and now inhabit people in their thousands. And of course they must be removed at huge expense.
The Xenu story, when read in detail, betrays the total stupidity of the Scientology religion and reveals it for the fraud that it is. In towns where the cult of Scientology is hoping to create a stronghold, the Xenu leaflet totally destroys any credibility the cult may have acquired. If enough of the Xenu leaflets can be put into distribution then the townsfolk will realise that they have an insane and criminal organisation within their midst.
They will in turn copy the leaflet and give it to others and within six months or so the cult will be starved of new recruits and people buying services from them. The Xenu leaflet reveals the truth and Scientology cannot exist in the presence of the truth. The Xenu leaflet exposes Scientology for what it is and hence destroys it.
The leaflet has another purpose too in inoculating a person against any future threat of the cult. Once a person has read that they are virtually immune to the Scientology cult for the rest of their lives. Nobody in their right mind would join the cult if they knew the contents of the Xenu leaflet. Links to the Xenu leaflet are to be found here in a variety of languages so that wherever the cult may be the Xenu leaflet can effectively flush them out. Get copies in many languages...
And many of these celebrities are believed to be Scientologists....
a few have escaped since...

Scientology cont....
In case you are DYING to know what OT III level is....
Warning, Scientology Jargon Ahead.
Wikipedia: Operating Thetan
In Scientology, the state of Operating Thetan is a spiritual state
above Clear.
L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of Scientology, defined it as
"knowing and willing cause over life, thought, matter, energy,
space and time." [1]
Scientologists believe that one who has achieved the state of
Operating Thetan is essentially a being able to operate free of the
encumbrances of the material universe. This state is represented
by a symbol consisting of the letters OT with the T inside the O
and each of the points of the T ending at the O's circumference.
The Fishman Affidavit contains much text from the old versions of
the Operating Thetan levels. After having removed one's own
reactive mind, one then goes on to remove the reactive minds of
one's Body Thetans through Dianetic auditing.
.After having removed one's own reactive mind and thus attaining the state of Clear,
one may then go on to the levels above OT III which were later replaced by New Era
Dianetics for OTs. L. Ron Hubbard wrote on September 15, 1978: "There is a special
handling for OTs who have been run on Dianetics since Clear. It is called 'NED for OTs'."[5]
In March 2008, Church of Scientology's Operating Thetan documents were leaked
on Wikileaks.[6] The Church of Scientology claimed their hosting is a copyright
violation implying that the collection (or some part of it) is (or was at some point) Church doctrine.[7]
Criticism
It is alleged that people are encouraged to complete very expensive courses and expect wonderful results; when the improvements fail to happen they are told the
next course will bring the changes they anticipate. Members continue paying out
steadily more for courses, and some even put their families into debt while chasing
the elusive life-changing results. [
..........
[edit all ] Levels OT I
"This Solo-audited level is the first step a Clear takes toward full OT abilities, and that first step is a fresh causative OT viewpoint of the MEST universe and other
beings."[9]
OT II
"By confronting hidden areas of one's existence on the whole track, vast amounts of energy and attention are released. Those on this Solo-audited level experience a
resurgence of self-determinism and native ability. OT II unlocks the aberrative factors
on the whole track that have allowed the thetan to lose his innate freedom and ability
and one achieves the ability to confront the whole track."[9]
OT III: The Wall of Fire Main article: Xenu
"This Solo-audited level goes through what is called the "Wall of Fire" that surrounds a previously impenetrable whole track mystery. What prevents a being from being
himself? This level answers that question. Once complete, a being is free of the whole
track overwhelm that has trapped him. Here he confronts and eradicates the fourth
dynamic engram that has plagued this universe for millennia."[9]
According to Church dogma, OT III is a dangerous process
............................................................................................. and can lead to pneumonia, lack of sleep or even death if not run correctly.
In Church of Scientology of California v. Kaufman, it was noted that the defendant
had been required to sign a waiver to the effect that "the Scientology Organization,
its branches and members, and L. Ron Hubbard are not responsible for anything that
might happen to my body or mind on OT III".[10]
OT IV: OT Drug Rundown
"This level handles the hidden problems and stops in a being's universe caused by the
effects of drugs and poisons on the whole track. This is the final polish that rids one
of any last vestige of the effects of drugs on the spirit. Ministered at Advanced
Organizations or Flag. Approximately 12 1/2 to 25 hours."[9]
OT V: New Era Dianetics for OTs
............................................... "The Second Wall of Fire consists of 26 separate rundowns and has been described as dealing with "living lightning, the very stuff of life itself." This level addresses the last
aspects of one's case that can prevent him from achieving total freedom on all
dynamics. An audited level ministered at Advanced Organizations or Flag.
Approximately 50 hours."[9]
OT VI: Hubbard Solo New Era Dianetics for OTs (Solo NOTs) Auditing Course
"The training one receives before starting to solo audit on New OT VII is so powerful that it actually constitutes an entire OT level. On Solo NOTs one is dealing with
complexities intended to crush one's true power and abilities as a thetan. Solo NOTs
auditors acquire a wide range of auditing skills to handle the vast phenomena that can
occur on OT VIII. Approximately 3-4 weeks with the new Solo Auditor Course
done."[9]
OT VII: Hubbard Solo New Era Dianetics for OTs Auditing
"On New OT VII one solo audits at home daily. This is a lengthy level, requiring a considerable amount of time to complete. It is the final pre-OT level, and culminates
in attainment of the state of CAUSE OVER LIFE."[9]
OT VIII: Truth Revealed
Main article: OT VIII
"This Solo-audited level addresses the primary cause of amnesia on the whole track
and lets one see the truth of his own existence. This is the first actual OT level and
brings about a resurgence of power and native abilities for the being himself. This may
be done at the Flag Ship Service Organization only."
Unreleased levels OT IX: Orders of Magnitude
OT X: Character OT XI: Operating OT XII: Future OT XIII: New Section XIII OT OT XIV: New Section XIV OT OT XV: New Section XV OT At some point one is to eventually reach the state of Cleared Theta Clear, a spiritual state which Hubbard describes this way:
"A thetan who is completely rehabilitated and can do everything a thetan should do, such as move MEST and control others from a distance, or create his own universe." [11] In the OT Summit 2007, David Miscavige made mention of OT 56[12]. Whether this was a joke or not is unclear.

Author AgnosticPreachersKid, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:2125_S_Street_NW.JPG
 From 1964 to 1995, the Founding Church of Scientology in Washington, D.C.. The building was raided by the FBI in July 1977.
You thought it couldn't get any crazier.... well these Scientologists are trying to protect
a mountain of money and their tax exempt "church" of a Goose laying golden eggs.
Operation Snow White
......................................
.Operation Snow White was the Church of Scientology's name for a conspiracy during the
1970s to purge unfavorable records about Scientology and its founder L. Ron Hubbard.
This project included a series of infiltrations and thefts from 136 government agencies,
foreign embassies and consulates, as well as private organizations critical of Scientology,
carried out by Church members, in more than 30 countries;[1] the single largest
infiltration of the United States government in history[2] with up to 5,000 covert
agents.[3]
This was also the operation that exposed 'Operation Freakout', because this was the case
that brought the US government into investigation of the Church.[3]
Under this program, Scientology operatives committed infiltration, wiretapping, and theft of
documents in government offices, most notably those of the U.S. Internal Revenue
Service. Eleven highly-placed Church executives, including Mary Sue Hubbard (wife of
founder L. Ron Hubbard and second-in-command of the organization), pleaded guilty or
were convicted in federal court of obstructing justice, burglary of government
offices, and theft of documents and government property. The case was United
States vs. Mary Sue Hubbard et al., 493 F. Supp. 209 (D.D.C.
