DNA Tests: Hitler Descended From Jews, Africans?

The history of Adolf Hitler is well known. Apart from bringing the world to war, the Nazi leader was obsessed with the idea of a European "master race," which served as the foundation for his hostility toward Jews and led to the tragedy of the Holocaust.

But DNA testing may provide a new twist: Hitler may have been descended from both Jews and Africans, according to a Daily Mail report.

Belgian journalist Jean-Paul Mulder and historian Marc Vermeeren conducted tests on 39 of the Nazi leader's relatives earlier this year.

A Belgian news magazine reported that according to Mulder's and Vermeeren's study, Hitler's relatives have a chromosome called Haplopgroup E1b1b (Y-DNA) that is rare in Germany and Western Europe. It could have its roots in Africa and the Middle East.

Ground Zero Islamic center’s funding leads to CFR

snip
I received a second email from the Corbett Report, a video report whose Sunday stories were the Ground Zero Mosque Distraction, Israel Lobby, Apple and Orwell, the first with some fascinating information about Imam Faisal Abdul Rauf, who heads up the Cordoba Initiative, i.e., the building of the Ground Zero Islamic center. Eureka!

The Cordoba Initiative, and Imam Rauf, Corbett went on to say, were affiliated with the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations and support for that came from fellow Council on Foreign Relations’ members. Imam Rauf himself was on the Council on Foreign Relations’ Religious Advisory Committee. The Cordoba initiative’s website cited “Christian support for the Cordoba House” from a Christian publication, “Sojourners,” which is owned by evangelical Christian writer and political activist Jim Wallis, also a sitting member of the CFR’s Religious Advisory Committee. Wow!

At some point, the American Society for Muslim Advancement (asma.org) was shown on the screen along with: “Our Supporters: U.S. Foundations.” After wincing, I froze the frame and downloaded the list, which included the Carnegie Corporations of New York, Rockefeller Brothers, Rockefeller Philanthropy, Rockefeller Brothers Fund, the Henry Luce Foundation, and Hunt Alternatives, to mention a few of the globalist pack.

There was also a clip of David Rockefeller speechifying at the CFR and welcoming back Dick Cheney to a meeting. Of course, Cheney remarked that he was happy to be there, was once “director” of the organization though he didn’t mention it when he was running for Congress from his native Wyoming. This drew a big laugh from the elite insiders present.

snip
Here is a CFR member, whose organization is bankrolling the Islamic center with one hat on, switches hats and demands to know precisely who will pay to cough up the $100 million. Well, Dan, it’s your very own CFR sponsors who are picking up the tab. And if you think Corbett and I are the only ones who caught you with your two hats on, and your pants down, let me go to writer Steve Watson of PrisonPlanet.com, who wrote pretty much the same thing in Ground Zero Mosque Imam is Globalist Stooge.

snip
Meanwhile, Americans all over the country, especially in lower New York City, are out in droves screaming at each other in fear over Muslim appropriation of the building site, feeling as if Muslims were at their doors with scimitars, when, in fact, it’s our own Council on Foreign Relations whipping up the synthetic terror. Doesn’t that point, too, to CFR involvement in the 9/11 event, producing the same feelings?

N.Korea meeting delayed due to leader’s health-YTN

(Reuters) – North Korea’s ruling party has delayed the start of its biggest meeting in 30 years due to Kim Jong-il’s health, South Korea’s YTN television reported from Seoul on Monday.

Kim, 68, is suspected of suffering a stroke in 2008. The rare meeting was believed to have been called to accelerate succession plans. Analysts said Kim’s youngest son, Kim Jong-un, had been likely to be given an official title at the conference.

Tony Blair Receives 2010 Liberty Medal at the National Constitution Center

Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair received the National Constitution Center’s 2010 Liberty Medal tonight in recognition of his steadfast commitment to conflict resolution. President Bill Clinton, Chair of the Center, was joined by Center President and CEO David Eisner as he awarded the prestigious medal to former Prime Minister Blair at a public ceremony at 7:00 p.m. at the National Constitution Center on Independence Mall in Historic Philadelphia. Governor Edward G. Rendell, Mayor Michael A. Nutter, and Christiane Amanpour, anchor of ABC News’ This Week, also participated in the ceremony. The event was broadcast live on WPVI-TV/6abc and webcast live on http://www.6abc.com.

As British prime minister, Mr. Blair played a critical role in advancing peace in Northern Ireland. Throughout the grueling negotiation process that preceded the historic Good Friday Accord, he displayed unwavering determination to settle the generations-long conflict. Since leaving government, Mr. Blair has continued to facilitate productive dialogue between diverse groups, as Quartet Representative to the Middle East and through the Africa Governance Initiative and the Tony Blair Faith Foundation.

White House slashes huge IT projects, more cuts coming

The White House announced more cuts on Wednesday to technology projects designed to replace the accounting systems used by federal agencies.

Office of Management and Budget acting director Jeffrey Zients and Controller Danny Werfel told reporters the White House will scrap or reduce several projects as a result of its ongoing review of federal financial management systems in hopes of saving millions of dollars and improving the return on taxpayer funds.

snip
Efforts to update agencies’ accounting systems have historically been plagued by delays and cost overruns due to the complexity and diversity of the accounting methods used by the government. The White House halted all modernization efforts in June in order to review the projects for possible reductions in cost and scope.

Werfel said the White House is canceling a $113 million project to replace the Small Business Administration’s loan management and accounting system and scaling back two similar projects at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The administration expects to save a total of $224 million on the latter two projects by cutting all system features that aren’t mission-critical.

Those measures come in addition to the previously announced cancellation of a modernization effort at the Department of Veterans Affairs, which is expected to save a total of $423 million.

“cost overruns due to the complexity and diversity of the accounting methods used by the government”
LOL…complexity and diversity = multiple sets of books.
government accounting is no more complex than corporate accounting. Debits have to equal credits

watch for a SBA, EPA, HUD or VA program malfunction and loss of data....convenient.

loss of data is what came to my mind as well..

New Moon Data Seen As Vital in Planning any Future Return

If mankind ever makes it back to the moon, new data being transmitted back to NASA headquarters from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter will play a pivotal role in determining a future landing site.

The LRO, as it's known, just completed its first year circling the moon and earlier today, NASA scientists said the new data in their hands had presented them with a picture of a far more complex, if not richer, lunar surface than was earlier assumed.

snip
"The mission's been going really smoothly since our launch," said chief lunar scientist Michael Wargo. He described the mission as having produced "spectacular scientific results" which he said would be important in any future missions to the moon.

Ever since the LRO headed to the moon, it has been on the hunt for possible future landing sites. But along the way, it also has sent back a trove of information that's helped scientists understand more about the moon's radiation and the mineral composition of its surface. (A probe which landed on the moon's south pole in October 2009 also helped confirm evidence of water.)

Maybe now we will find out what they really found on the moon...it wasnt water! Minerals?

strangely we have no pictures of all the equipment they left on the moon..

Space Colonists Could Use Bacteria to Mine Minerals on Mars and the Moon

Scientists investigated several bacterium species and found that they not only could thrive on Mars- and moonlike rocks, but could extract elements useful to future extraterrestrial colonists

Microbes currently are used in mining to help recover metals such as gold, copper and uranium. Now researchers suggest bacteria could be enlisted for “bio-mining” in space, to extract oxygen, nutrients and minerals from extraterrestrial bodies such as the moon and Mars for use by future colonists there.

More than a quarter of the world’s copper supply is currently harvested from ores using microorganisms. As such, geomicrobiologists Karen Olsson-Francis and Charles Cockell at The Open University in Milton Keynes, England, reasoned that microbes could get drafted for use in space exploration as well—”it’s just a question of transferring that technology to other planetary surfaces,” Cockell says. “It would be a way of living off the land in space.”
