Mayan people reject any idea that the world will end. Pedro Celestino Yac Noj, a Mayan sage, burned seeds and fruits to mark the end of the old calendar at a ceremony in Cuba. He said: “The 21st is for giving thanks and gratitude and the 22nd welcomes the new cycle, a new dawn.”

Former Obama Information Czar Calls Second Amendment Rights “Crazy”
There has been no official accounting of the Bush administration’s detention policies, and perhaps there never will be. President Obama decided to sweep that whole period of lawlessness and brutality under the rug. Disclosure did not suit his political agenda. http://takingnote.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/12/14/sweeping-torture-under-the-rug/

President George W. Bush and Attorney General John Ashcroft invoked the rarely used “state secrets privilege” to gag not only Sibel Edmonds, but committees of Congress that were investigating her case, as well as the Department of Justice’s Office of Inspector General and the FBI’s own Office of Professional Review.This is an effort not to protect legitimate state secrets, but to protect criminality that has prospered in secrecy for too long. http://www.thenewamerican.com/reviews/books/item/13807-sibel-edmonds-classified-woman

The new asteroid, XE54 discovered just last week, came “a little too close for comfort,” within 140,000 miles of our planet. It came “about as close to crashing into Earth as an asteroid possibly can, without actually doing so,” according to The Washington Post. Astronomers say that XE54 was small enough that most of it would have burned up in the atmosphere but Space.com noted that the fact that it was not spotted until it was basically upon us is a “troubling sign.” http://www.forbiddenknowledgetv.com/videos/space/asteroids-toutatis-and-xe54-pass-close-to-earth.html
