New Issues and New Times

The Gulf oil cleanups are getting dangerous. This is similar to the Valdez oil disaster. The toix disperants poured into the ocean waters are a threat not just the spilled oil. BP is still using the same types of toxic dispersants in the Gulf oil spill as was used in the Valdez oil spill of March of 1989. Almost all of the oil spill workers in the Valdez disaster are now dead. Gulf oil spill workers are now beginning to show signs of toxic poisoning. Dr. Gina Solomon is a senior scientist with the Natural Resources Council . She said that more than a dozen workers came to the hospital from being exposed to chemicals. Some believe that it may be 10-20 for the Gulf Coast region to be cleaned up. FEMA even have plans to evacuate the Tampa Bay area in case of a burn of surface oil in the region. Plans for Martial Law and massive evacuations do exist in the plans of the Global Elite. Every single major city has such plans in place. Hurricance Alex traveled into Mexico and Texas. It didn't traveled into the Gulf Coast region in the center of it. The outer edges are causing problems in the Gulf Coast though. Some parts of the Gulf are experiencing waves as high as 12 feet.



Elena Kagan attempted to influence a second medical group on the issue of partial birth abortions. It's been found out that Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan has jumped this week to a memo she wrote. It says that during the Clinton administration, she tried to pressure a medical group to change its position on partial birth abortion. New files indicated that Kagan pressured another group too. Kagan wanted Bill Clinton to oppose any meaningful restrictions on partial birth abortion. He wanted to manipulated the option of one medical group, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, which said such abortions are never medically necessary. Senators asked Kagan about the memo during the Judiciary Committee hearings. She explained her actions away by saying that she wanted to help ACOG form a more accurate opinion. According to a report from the Americans United for Life (that was sent to Lifenews.com), Kagan's lobbying for changes to medical associations' positions while in the White House is further evidenced by an email found in her White House documents. The email has Kagan trying to change the position of another medical group called the American Medical association. Kagan talked with other Clinton administration officials whether the AMA could reverse its policy of saying that there is not an identified situation in which partial birth abortion is the only appopriate method of abortion. The AMA noted that ethical concerns with partial birth abortions and said that it should not be used unless it's absolutely necessary. I don't agree with partial birht abortion at all of course. “We agreed to do a bit of thinking about whether we (in truth, HHS) could contribute to that effort [convincing the AMA to reverse their policy]," Kagan wrote in the email. "Chuck and I are meeting with the AG on Tuesday; Donna offered to send over some doctors this week (though we don't know who or when) to give a medical briefing.” Responding to Kagan's comments in the email, AUL said: "In other words, Kagan was so opposed to the passage of a ban on partial-birth abortion, she hoped that ACOG and the AMA would suppress or modify their views and aggressively worked to make that happen."Charmaine Yoest is the President of Americans United for Life. She feels that Kagan has to explain alot of things for the seante. She feels that there are serious discrepancies between her statements to Senator Hatch and the documented evidence of her actions in December of 1996. AUL wants Senators to ask Kagan why she figured that it was correct to interfere with the positions of medical organization. The AUL said that: "...Further, does the lack of any evidence of harm to a woman’s health because of the unavailability of partial-birth abortion for the past three years affect her perspective on the issue?" "Does Kagan still believe that partial-birth abortion is necessary to protect a woman’s health? If so, what is her factual basis to support this?" the pro-life group concluded. Kagan is of course a pro-abortion advocate. She once clerked for Justice Thurgood Marshall. Marshall praised her writings dating bakc to her colledge days. Kagan helped Bill Clinton to defend his veto of the partial birht abortion ban. Partial birth abortion is the gruesome abortion procedure when a baby is birthed halfway and then jabbed in the head with medical scissors, killing him or her. She helped Clinton find political cover for his decision to keep those abortions legal. Kagan went as far as saying that the Clinton administration not only ignore, but manipulate the opinion of a national medical group that said that there was never any medical justification for killing unborn children halfway out of the birth canal. Kagan also praised human cloning and assisted suicide. These evils can be expanded if she is the next Supreme Court justice.

There are other police bruality reports in the G20 summit in Toronto, Canada. Canada has some civil liberty issues like us Americans have. There has been Abu-Ghraib like incareation methods done by the Toronto police during the G20 summit. Women were arrested and raped by male cops. One journalist named Amy Miller said that women who were arrested by Toronto police were threatened with rape, that numerous women were strip-searched by male officers and that one severely traumatized woman was sexually molested by police who stuck their fingers up her vagina. “I was told I was going to be gang banged. I was told that I was never going to want to act as a journalist again by making sure I was going to be repeatedly raped while I was in jail,” she said. This is wild. Rape is any sexual penetration of an individual against his or her will. If these reports are true, then someone should be held accountable. You can't allow police officers to act like thugs and rapists by unlawfully arresting people (and snatch and grab people to be put in unmarked cars). Cops can't beat up journalists from major newspapers either. Toronto's Police Chief Bill Blair engaged in mass public deception by lying about the claim that Toronto’s “Public Works Act” mandated G20 protesters to show their ID. The law doesn’t exist, it was never passed. The police officers who cited this law when arresting Charlie Veitch were knowingly engaging in wrongful arrest and should be sued. Likewise, the goons who brutally molested women Abu-Ghraib style need to be identified and prosecuted. Miller should seek out the victims and bring charges against those involved, and not allow these monsters to cover-up their shameful behavior. Now, 4 journalists including Miller are doing something about this. They are filling complaints with Ontario's police watchdogs dealing with the allegations that the police physically assaulted or threatened to sexually assault the female s when they were arrested during the Toronto G20 summit. In addition, Guardian journalist Jesse Rosenfeld has spoken publicly of his ordeal at the hands of G20 police. “I was grabbed on each side and hit in the stomach and back and pounced on by officers. I kept asking them why they were beating me because I wasn’t resisting arrest. But they lifted my leg and twisted my ankle,” said Rosenfield.
