Fidel Castro: Osama bin Laden is a US agent
Associated Press / Paul Haven (2010-08-27)
HAVANA – Fidel Castro says al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden is a bought-and-paid-for CIA agent who always popped up when former President George W. Bush needed to scare the world, arguing that documents recently posted on the Internet prove it.
“Any time Bush would stir up fear and make a big speech, bin Laden would appear threatening people with a story about what he was going to do,” Castro told state media during a meeting with a Lithuanian-born writer known for advancing conspiracy theories about world domination. “Bush never lacked for bin Laden’s support. He was a subordinate.”
Castro said documents posted on WikiLeaks.org — a website that recently released thousands of pages of classified documents from the Afghan war — “effectively proved he was a CIA agent.” He did not elaborate.

US, Israeli warships move to PG: Report
Press TV / RZS/TG/HRF (2010-06-20)
An armada of more than twelve US and Israeli warships has passed through the Suez Canal toward the Red Sea and is reportedly heading to the Persian Gulf.
Egypt allowed the vessels to pass through the Suez Canal to the Red Sea Friday, UPI reported on Saturday.
The final destination of the fleet, which also includes an aircraft carrier, is not yet known; but some say it may be heading towards the Persian Gulf.
Special security measures were implemented by the Egyptian authorities for the safe passage of what is believed to be the largest US armada to pass through the canal in years.
All commercial and civilian traffic through the Suez Canal was halted and beefed-up security forces were posted along both sides of the waterway.
The fleet is led by the aircraft carrier, the USS Harry Truman and its strike group of 60 fighter-bombers and 6,000 seamen and marines, DEBKAfile reported from its military sources.
Meanwhile, Jeff Steinberg from the Executive Intelligence Review in Washington told Press TV that the US Defense Department had confirmed the report. He further added that the move should be closely watched.
Egyptian opposition parties have criticized the government for allowing the passage at a time when tension is high in the Middle East over the recent Israeli attack on the Gaza-bound aid convoy.
On May 31, Israeli forces attacked the flotilla, killing nine activists on board. The attack was condemned by the international community and prompted global protests.
ADHD fraud and the chemical holocaust against a generation of children
Live with Dr. Fred Baughman: ADHD fraud and the chemical holocaust against a generation of children
Mike: Hello everyone, this is Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, and I’m talking about the mythical disease known as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, and the overmedication of the population, with Dr. Fred Baughman. I want to give you a little background about why I’m so interested in interviewing you. Our readers will really appreciate your information, because we cover this subject quite extensively. We have similar views on it and there is a lot of increasing interest out there. People are realizing that they have been fooled all these years, so that’s why I wanted to get in touch with you.
Dr. Fred Baughman: In the area of child psychiatric drugs, the main focus has been the recently commenced FDA hearings, which pertain to reports of death, strokes and heart attacks in children and adults. The first report concerning Adderall came out about a year ago. Adderall is the number one ADHD drug, and that report dealt with 12 or so individuals that were said to have had strokes, if you can imagine a stroke occurring in a young child. Some were sudden deaths and others were heart complications, and a total of 20 to 30 such reports lead Health Canada to take Adderall off the market.
Mike: Now these records are through the voluntary MedWatch system, correct?
Dr. Baughman: Exactly, which the FDA explains in a booklet about the mechanics of MedWatch and other similar voluntary reporting schemes. They confessed that such schemes ordinarily identify no more than 1 percent of actual occurrences. So at any rate, we had that occurrence about a year ago with Health Canada taking Adderall off the market and our FDA not taking Adderall off the market. Subsequently, we learned our FDA lobbied Health Canada behind-the-scenes not to take it off the market.
Mike: That is unbelievable. The FDA applied pressure to foreign nations to protect dangerous drugs in our own market?
Dr. Baughman: Yes, it’s just that. Then about three or four months ago, Health Canada put Adderall back on the market. It wasn’t because they had any good evidence of its safety or effectiveness. Adderall is a mixture of the two salts of amphetamine, so it’s a pure amphetamine.
