Until “Israel” is wiped utterly from the map. Fuck the Jews. Fuck the Christians. Fuck the Muslims. They all bow down to the same damned dog. The dog of Abraham. Kill ‘em all, let their common dog sort them out.
This is what The Jews do (music video). Other than run the “United States”.
WHO says that cell phones increase the risk of brain cancer.
The United Nations’ health agency, the World Health Organization, now lists mobile phone use in the same “carcinogenic hazard” category as lead, engine exhaust and chloroform.
But no adverse health effects have been established, the agency explains.
The decision to list cell phones as a cancer hazard came after a team of 31 scientists from 14 countries examined peer-reviewed studies on cell phone safety.
WASHINGTON — It’s getting personal now. In a shift still evolving, federal enforcers are targeting individual executives in health care fraud cases that used to be aimed at impersonal corporations.
The new tactic is raising the anxiety level – and risks – for corporate honchos at drug companies, medical device manufacturers, nursing home chains and other major health care enterprises that deal with Medicare and Medicaid.
Previously, if a company got caught, its lawyers in many cases would be able to negotiate a financial settlement. The company would write the government a check for a number followed by lots of zeroes and promise not to break the rules again. Often the cost would just get passed on to customers.
Now, on top of fines paid by a company, senior executives can face criminal charges even if they weren’t involved in the scheme but could have stopped it had they known. Furthermore, they can also be banned from doing business with government health programs, a career-ending consequence.
Like The Bulletin, if you stay away from the opinion pages the Wall Street Journal can be pretty good read. We’re not anywhere near the bottom yet:
The world’s largest economy may be facing a growth problem.
After a disappointing first quarter, economists largely predicted the U.S. recovery would ramp back up as short-term disruptions such as higher gas prices, bad weather and supply problems in Japan subsided.
But there’s little indication that’s happening. Manufacturing is cooling, the housing market is struggling and consumers are keeping a close eye on spending, meaning the U.S. economy might be on a slower path to full health than expected.
“It’s very hard to generate a rapid recovery when rapid recoveries are historically driven by housing and the consumer,” said Nigel Gault, an economist at IHS Global Insight. He expects an annualized, inflation-adjusted growth rate of less than 3% in coming quarters — better than the first-quarter’s 1.8% rate, but too slow to make a meaningful dent in unemployment.
The WSJ report was published before a new report showed home prices reaching five-year lows, “driven down by foreclosures, a glut of unsold homes and the reluctance or inability of many to buy.” It also comes on the heels of new forecasts showing weak growth economy-wide this quarter.
How badly white people stink? It’s so overwhelming it’s often difficult to get through the day without puking. I often bath twice just to get it off of me.
Won’t get you in to Heaven anymore,
they’re already overcrowded from your dirty little war.
Now Jesus don’t like killin’ no matter what the reason’s for,
and your flag decal won’t get you in the heaven anymore!

Lying woman beater – in January ’09 economic projections argued that if the stimulus passed, then unemployment would be about 6.8% now. Without it, about 8%. It’s 9% now. Where are the Jobs, you lying sack of pig shit.
