There is a Free Lunch in Paris
Every two years, SIAL ,the world’s largest food event for professionals in the food sector, comes to Paris. This year SIAL , the global food marketplace ,was held from October 17- October 21 at Paris Nord Villepinte which is easily accessible by suburban trains. It was held during France’s transportation strike, but one out of two suburban trains ran. SIAL provided free shuttle buses for visitors from Charles De Gaulle Airport, Porte Maillot in the north of Paris and Montparnasse in the south of Paris.
Slideshow: Heartburn – Foods to eat, Foods to avoid

GORDON DUFF: UNCONSTITUTIONAL, TIME TO END THE SCANNER SCAM
Let's begin with one fact. We are using expensive, dangerous and illegal scanners in our airports for one reason. Now get this straight; A single terrorist carrying a bomb was escorted onto a plane for Detroit, no search, no passport, not even a ticket, placed on a plane by an airport security officer who is a former IDF "commando."
WE THOUGHT WE WERE FREE
George Orwell's 1984 revealed that the key to social control is a never ending war, such as Afghanistan; for it keeps the masses fearful, silenced and obedient as there freedom and civil liberties gradually vanish.
PTSD Troops Get “Trauma Avoidance” Instead of Care
When we read about all the advances being made, the programs the DOD has come up with to "help" the troops recover, there is always something that does not add up because at the same time we read about what they are doing, somewhere hidden from our eyes, problems lurk in the darkness like a bad horror movie.

Iraq is a Self Cleaning Oven
Lawyers who are specialists in the International Law of Armed Conflict, War Crimes Law to the rest of us, say the uranium smoke, dust and shrapnel must be able to be turned off when the battle is over. Too bad. Uranium gas is a radioactive and electrically charged poison forever.
GORDON DUFF: WIKILEAKS, A TOUCH OF ASSANGE AND THE STENCH OF AIPAC
Wikileaks is like a TV show that never gets off the ground. We started with a "shoot 'em up" in Iraq, the helicopter slaughter soon forgotten and move on to, well, what? We got a deluge of material from Afghanistan, carefully gleaned to point fingers at Pakistan. When it came down to backing any of it up, it went nowhere.

FRANKLIN LAMB : CAN ISRAEL DEFEAT HEZBOLLAH IN THE COMING WAR?
According to the Lebanese military, at 11 am and again at 1 p.m. on 1l/24/10, a total of six Israeli warplanes crossed into Lebanese airspace, and violated for the 8256th time UNSC resolution 1701 that ended Israel’s 5th war against Lebanon, on August 14, 2006.

They also to try to keep tabs on Lebanon’s resistance, led by Hezbollah.

Great Medical Mystery is Why This Guy is Called an Expert
An "expert" just came out and set us back 40 years on PTSD. He thinks there is no effective treatment and that time will take over. In other words, "get over it" leaving veterans to think there is no hope again. Here we have a major line of BS from an "expert" on PTSD.

GORDON DUFF: IRAN-KOREA NUCLEAR LIES, ORDERS FROM TEL AVIV
Former President George W. Bush planned to invade Iran in 2007, even though America's military was exhausted and overstretched by two unsuccessful wars. His own popularity, at a real 8%, was the reason, that and the economic collapse that he was trying to push back until he left office. He believed a war would have saved his presidency, buried the $3 trillion dollars stolen by his friends and given him a legacy to be proud of, even if every family in America suffered.
