stocks, watchout
Watch the market closely there could be drop soon. Don't panic, there is money out there. Swine flu the cause of the pull back, can make you money there is a few stocks that could creep up over the next 2-3 months. NOVAVAX is 1 of those companies. NVAX stock has more than tripled in 3 days. I look for it to move up slowly today with a late surge. Novavax produces the flu vaccine and is the fastest its vaccine, it is already being developed. Catch, It hasn't been approved. They are working with the CDC to get approved quickly. No matter what happens the stock will go up. Lets just hope it doesn't get bad.

Fly Over: White House Military Office Terrorizes New York
White House Military Officer Louis Caldera approved the mission which allowed two F-16s and a Boeing 747 that resembles Air Force One, to fly over New York.
The Boeing, flying at low altitudes around Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty, appeared to be being chased by the F-16s. This is the area where the World Trade Center once stood.
Caldera claims steps were taken to notify the state and local authorities that they would be conducting this photo-op mission on Monday, along with a note that read,
"information in this document shall not be released to the public or the media".
Office building's were evacuated and confused 911 dispatcher's were flooded with calls as panicked citizen's feared the worse. It has not been that long ago that many of these same people witnessed the event's of September 11th first hand.
The ignorance of Caldera and the military allowing this mission to happen is astounding. Caldera has shown that he is in no position to "approve" orders after this unnecessary and potentially dangerous act that caused so much confusion and fear to our citizens. At this point the least Caldera, and anyone involved, could do is resign from their positions immediately.
It is a comfort to know that Obama is also furious over this matter and will take steps to assure this does not happen again.

swine flu
Swine Flu. Get use to those words, you will be hearing them often.
It seems to have originated in Central America.
Originally thought to have been contracted from pigs. It has been spreading from human contact. It is transmitted the same way as the normal flu. Except this flu is deadly. It has claimed the over a hundred life's and this is just the beginning.
In 1917-18 Spanish Influenza claimed more than 2 million life's. In 1957 the Asian Flu pandemic spread from China to the US affecting school children. In 1968 the Hong Kong Flu caused 34,000 deaths in the US.
This strain has shown some resistant to antibiotics. Fortunately, we are far more advanced today.The CDC is currently looking into ways to treat this situation. One biotechnology company, Novavax, is working on vaccines that are not egg-based. (where vaccines are created using chicken egg's in production) Instead they are using a cell culture system. This would speed production and allow the vaccine to be a closer match to the virus strain, making it more effective and safer.
Remember to alway's wash and sanitize your hands, cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze and don't go to work/school sick. As of right now there are several cases in the US. Everyone needs to be safe.

Torture persecution
Should we prosecute those who ordered detainees to be tortured?
The recent evidence released by Obama proves we did in fact torture over the past eight years.
Water boarding and different psychological fear based tortures are among the few outlined in the memo's.
The legal memo's also refer to one detainee, Kalied Shake Mohamad who had been water boarded over 200 times.
Mohamad was one of the main conspirators behind 9-11.
Many on the left are screaming for blood over the newly released information.
President Obama has made it clear that there will be no indictments for soldiers carrying out torture practices that they were ordered to perform.
The lawyers who wrote the legal memos claim the methods we were using were not torture.
Despite how absurd their opinions were they broke no laws, since this was just their opinion.
The buck ultimately stops with the president, vice president, his cabinet, advisers and staff.
There is no way in hell the United States, any other country or legal body can try the executive branch of the United States. There is classified information strategies, tactics, knowledge and general practices of operations that would prevent any trial from taking place. It would be a legal nightmare.
Also, doing so would tie up our entire judicial system. It would be a huge distraction that would be prolonged for years to come. This is one case that may never be resolved completely. This could cause serious division among Americans. The crippling effects would be devastating. This is not a time that we can afford to waste energy chasing our tail.
There is no good that could come from indicting G. W. Bush, Cheney or the rest of the idiots that got us into this mess. Although they deserve to be punished for their actions. The truth is America voted twice to elect G.W. and we knew what we were getting. Our hands are also dirty. Although I did not vote for Bush on either occasion we are all Americans. We all share the responsibility in one way or another. If for no other reason than the fact that these actions were committed in our name.
The thing is you can't change the past, what's done is done. It's unfortunate that President Bush chose to ignore the morals and standards that IS, America.
America has always promoted humane treatment for prisoners. In fact we demanded it. It's in our constitution, it defines our freedom and our ideals. There is no good ending to this chapter of American history.
Our focus should be on the future. We have a new administration whose plate is absolutely full. If your upset with our government, get involved.
"We do not torture"
That's something we can never say again.

Obama handshake. Sign of change or weakness?
"It's unlikely that as a consequence of me shaking hands or having a polite conversation with Mr. Chavez that we are endangering the strategic interests of the United States," Obama said.
I agree despite the criticism surrounding the Obama-Chavez handshake. I think this in fact makes us look stronger. It shows a side of America that other countries have not seen before.
What are the arguments? Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, an anti-American dictator, should be shunned. Obama should have walked out. This makes America look weak.
Bush has also been photographed shaking hands with Chavez. The right aparently didn't have a problem with that.
Chavez has said “It’s a policy of permanent aggression, of war, of terrorism by the US empire. That’s the great guilty one, the great Satan.” He also referred to Bush as "the devil"
In light of the controversy, Chavez is showing that he is now willing to send an ambassador to the US. During the Bush administration Chavez turned a US ambassador away without a single word. Change?
