Thousands help with final flood cleanup blitz in Quebec
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/story/2011/06/18/quebec-flood-cleanup.html
A volunteer-driven flood cleanup in Quebec's Richelieu Valley wraps up Saturday and organizers expect more than 1,000 people to participate.
It is the second weekend of the cleanup, organized by a group called SOS Richelieu.
The goal is to help residents affected by this spring's flooding clear sandbags and debris from their properties.
Organizer Michel Fecteau said Saturday's efforts will focus on municipalities such as Noyan, Que., near the Canada-U.S. border, where water levels were still too high last week to dismantle the sandbags holding back water from Lake Champlain.

US Orders News Blackout Over Crippled Nebraska Nuclear Plant
http://www.myweathertech.com/2011/06/17/us-orders-news-blackout-over-crippled-nebraska-nuclear-plant
Though this report confirms independent readings in the United States of “negligible release of nuclear gasses” related to this accident it warns that by the Obama regimes censoring of this event for “political purposes” it risks a “serious blowback” from the American public should they gain knowledge of this being hidden from them.
Interesting to note about this event was the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Chief, Gregory B. Jaczko, blasting the Obama regime just days before the near meltdown of the Fort Calhoun Nuclear Power Plant by declaring that “the policy of not enforcing most fire code violations at dozens of nuclear plants is “unacceptable” and has tied the hands of NRC inspectors.”
This report further notes that the “cover-up” of this nuclear disaster by President Obama is being based on his “fantasy” of creating so-called green jobs which he (strangely) includes nuclear power into as his efforts to bankrupt the US coal industry proceed at a record breaking pace.
Unknown to the American people about Obama’s “war” on the US coal industry is it’s estimated to cost them over a 60% increase in their electricity bills by 2014 and cause over 250,000 jobs to be lost in an already beleaguered economy.
.....A joint VIPR “security exercise” involving military personnel has Transportation Security Administration workers covering 5,000 miles and three states, illustrating once again how the TSA is turning into a literal occupying army for domestic repression in America.

Two-thirds or more of Washington's $15 billion annual anti-drug budget is spent on conventional interdiction, but half should be going to drug rehab and other demand-reducing devices. ... Since as early as 1994, research has shown that the societal costs of the drug war, from prison cells to productivity loss, drop appreciably more — 14 times more in one Rand Corporation study — when a dollar is spent on drug treatment instead of on law enforcement.
