The packages carried on cargo planes from Yemen heading for the USA definitely contained bombs, according to the latest reports. The explosive material employed was PETN, the same chemical used by the lap bomber last Christmas, but considerably more powerful. At least one of the devices was intended to be triggered by a cell phone detonator.
In other news, German Chancellor Angela Merkel seems to have contradicted her earlier remarks about the failure of Multiculturalism, and is now insisting that affirmative action is needed to bring more immigrants into public jobs in Germany.

"according to the latest reports. "
And you believe them? The general mass media?
These are the journalists/reporters that have been proven to lie to us, the People, over and over. These are the coward reporters - that when dire events are happening, they never show up.
THese are the people that are report what "Someone" high up in the totem pole, that allow censorship of the REAL news and what's going on in the world.
Don't you know they're the controlled media, that work together with the Feds?
And what have the Fe3ds done for us? They're the gov. officials that have opened the flood gates of illegal Mexican immigrants in teh U.S. and are inundating Europe with islamic immigrants. And continue to do so. And have EVERY intention of continuing.
So, you believe them?
Well! Everytime I read these kind of stories, I ALWAYS analyze them- every which way.
You can't have it both ways- that one day you think that the gov. is doing wrong to us, and the next day, you swallow their stories, hook, line and sinker.
You can bet your bottom dollar, that tptb are ROTFL at us, when they spoint these lies to the "peasants."
I mean, they've done so all throughout our history, so, haven't we learned from our experience?
The REAL news are from direct sources that you can identify- that are there on the spot, direct from the Bloggers.
"certified halal and certified humane.”
In regards to meat....aren't the two mutually exclusive?

What makes you think I believe any particular item in the news feed? Didn't you read my caveat?
I post news items that people send me. I may or may not believe them or agree with them. I may or may not have an opinion about them, and if I do, this is not the place I'd choose to write about it.
When I write "according to the latest reports", it means exactly that. It means that is what the reports say. It is not a statement about the truth or falsehood of the reports. And it is not a statement of my opinion.
Don't bruise yourself jumping to conclusions. You seem to think you can read my mind, and thus gauge my level of credulity.
Don't bet on it.
Halal is not humane.
It is the very essence of cruelty.
The hypocrisy of the animal rights movements has never shone brighter than on the issue of halal butchery.
