TV weatherman thinks the federal government is manipulating the weather. Interesting, the other link on a gov't program called HAARP I was going to use here is now a forbidden page. Anyway I was going to say anything is possible.

The Padilla case didn't get enough attention at all.

The 4th Circuit Court ruled in favor of the Bush administration which claimed that it had the right to indefinitely imprison an American citizen without charging him with a crime. The resulting verdict confers absolute authority on the President to incarcerate American citizens without charge and without any legal means for the accused to challenge the terms of his detention. It is the end of "inalienable rights", the end of The Bill of Rights, and the end of any meaningful notion of personal liberty.
