India and Nepal blamed each other yesterday for some of the worst flooding in South Asia in decades, which has affected 25 million people and left rescuers scrambling to help victims.

Are you aware that former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani was given a warning that the World Trade Center towers were going to collapse? You can hear him state that someone told him that “the World Trade Center was going to collapse” to Peter Jennings of ABC News here . What makes this statement so controversial is that it is in direct contradiction with the official 9/11 story’s assertion that no one knew at the time that the towers would collapse. The implication here is that someone or some group had inside knowledge of the impending collapse of the towers. The insider(s) in question need(s) to be investigated as a matter of justice and a matter of clarity on the question of whether jihadists are the sole enemies of the U.S. in regards to terrorism. So please share this with others and press for the truth to be recognized and further pursued for the sake of our security and sanity.

Also of note with the recent talk of a likely terrorist attack this summer is this source which exposes how the release of Bin Laden video, like the most recent one, is used as government propaganda. It is quite possible that a major terror-plot bust will be staged or a terror attack will be allowed/provocateured in the near future to allow the executive branch to rule over the other two branches as the administration has euphemistically written it has the authority to do in time of crisis.
