Scotland
Yard's Latest Most Wanted List Shows "Benefits of Immigration"
The
latest line-up from New Scotland Yard’s “most wanted” list, as released
on the Metropolitan Police’s website, is a searing indictment of the
highly destructive effect of mass immigration into Britain.
Of
the top twelve suspects, only two appear to be British and all the rest
are a collection of immigrants from the far corners of the globe,
wanted for serious offences such as murder, terrorism and fraud.
Scotland
Yard’s most wanted man, Farouk Abdulhak, described as of “Yemeni and
Egyptian origins,” is wanted for murder.
Abdulhak
was studying at Regents Business School London and is known to have
fled to Yemen immediately following the murder.
Number
two on the Yard’s list is Latvian Juris Teteris, wanted for armed
robbery.
The
third most wanted man is Hayman Mustafa, who is being sought for
murder. He is described by the Met as being of “Arabic
appearance.” And the list goes on ... Full Story

Egypt: Lebanon in 'panic' over fear of Israeli attack
 "Complete panic" is reigning in Lebanon because
of fears of an Israeli attack and another war, Egyptian Foreign
Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit said in a closed meeting earlier this week,
sources say.
The panic was spurred by the recent reports that Syria has delivered
Scud missiles to Hezbollah. But senior diplomats have told Haaretz that
Western intelligence agencies, including those of the United States,
have been unable to independently confirm that such missiles have been
sent to the Shi'ite group.
In recent months, Israel has used diplomatic channels via the United
States and European Union to relay warnings that Syria was transferring
advanced weapons systems to Hezbollah.
Military censorship has prevented the publication of many details, but
reporters and analysts in the foreign media have mentioned various
types of arms that Israel says Syria has made available to Hezbollah.
These include anti-aircraft missiles, Scuds, and in some reports,
chemical weapons.
According to the Western media, Israel's claims that Syria has
transferred Scud missiles to Hezbollah have made the issue a public
one. Israel has lowered some of the censorship restrictions on local
media, but also heightened tensions between Israel, Syria and Lebanon.
However, a number of Western intelligence agencies, including those of
the United States, have expressed great doubts about the reliability of
Israeli intelligence, or at least the analysis of the available data.
In some reports in the international media, sources in the U.S.
administration admit that it is still unclear whether Syria has sent
Scuds to Hezbollah. Link Full Story
Senior Western diplomats noted that investigations by a number of
Western intelligence agencies have not made clear whether missiles of
that type have been delivered.
Greece crisis:
Fears grow that it could spread
 The head of the International Monetary Fund
has warned that the crisis in Greece could spread throughout Europe.
Dominique Strauss-Kahn said that every day lost in
resolving Greece's problems risks spreading the impact "far away".
Mr Strauss-Kahn was speaking at a news conference in
Berlin after trying to persuade reluctant German politicians to back
the terms of a rescue deal.
But even as politicians were trying to resolve the
crisis, Europe's debt problems were flaring elsewhere.
The Standard & Poor's ratings agency delivered
more bad news by downgrading Spain's debt to AA from AA+.

John Paulson: Goldman Scandal's Real Ringmaster?
 As Tuesday's hearings in
Washington regarding Goldman Sachs droned
on, it remained unclear who was at the bottom of the Wall Street firm's
supposed skulduggery. On April 16, the SEC brought a lawsuit against
Goldman Sachs alleging securities fraud for what amounted to the firm
betting against the very securities it was selling to its investors,
egregiously misleading them along the way.
The suit is
formally against Goldman -- with its young banker Fabrice
"Fabulous Fab" Tourre front
and center. But it was John Paulson (pictured at left), the very smart
manager and namesake of hedge fund Paulson
& Co.,
who created the concept of the sophisticated, complex and ethically
challenged "synthetic" securities that were unavailable to ordinary
investors and are about to dictate historic financial reform on Wall
Street and beyond.
The
controversial security Paulson
shaped for Goldman was called the
Abacus Fund, and it was a rather elegant piece of financial
engineering. The Abacus Fund--famously described in an email written by
Goldman's Tourre as "all
these complex, highly leveraged, exotic trades"--effectively
bundled up the riskiest sub-prime mortgage loans because they offered
an attractively high yield to investors. Then Paulson bet that the same
securities would fail--making billions of dollars at the expense of
their investors and the U.S. housing market. Ironically, Paulson, a
Queens-born Harvard Business School grad, built his hedge fund over the
past 15 years by investing conservatively for pension plans, banks and
on other hedge funds. In the late 1990s, for example, he bet against
the over-inflated tech stocks then in favor and made plenty for his
clients. Full Story

Important Stuff!
The
Bacon Tree
Two Mexicans are
stuck in the desert after crossing into the United States , wandering
aimlessly and starving. They are about to just lie down and wait for
death, when all of a sudden Luis says.......
"Hey Pepe, do
you
smell what I smell. Ees bacon, I theenk."
"Si, Luis, eet
sure smells like bacon. "
With renewed
hope
they struggle up the next sand dune, & there, in the distance, is a
tree loaded with bacon.
There's raw
bacon, there's fried bacon, back bacon, double smoked bacon ... every
imaginable kind of cured pork.
"Pepe, Pepe, we
ees saved. Ees a bacon tree."
"Luis, maybe ees
a meerage? We ees in the desert don't forget."
"Pepe, since
when
deed you ever hear of a meerage that smell like bacon...ees no
meerage, ees a bacon tree."
And with that,
Luis staggers towards the tree. He gets to within 5 metres, Pepe
crawling close behind, when suddenly a machine gun opens up, and Luis
drops like a wet sock. Mortally wounded, he warns Pepe with his
dying breath,
"Pepe... go back
man, you was right, ees not a bacon tree!"
"Luis, Luis mi
amigo... what ees it? "
"Pepe.. ees not
a
bacon tree. Ees
Ees
Ees
Ees
Ees a ham
