When the Brown County, Wis., Drug Task Force arrested her son Joel last February, Beverly Greer started piecing together his bail.

She used part of her disability payment and her tax return. Joel Greer's wife also chipped in, as did his brother and two sisters. On Feb. 29, a judge set Greer's bail at $7,500, and his mother called the Brown County jail to see where and how she could get him out. "The police specifically told us to bring cash," Greer says. "Not a cashier's check or a credit card. They said cash."

Guess what happened next.

A drug-sniffing dog inspected the Greers' cash, and about a half-hour later, Beverly Greer said, a police officer told her the dog had alerted to the presence of narcotics on the bills -- and that the police department would be confiscating the bail money.

I soon learned that because of the country's volcanic activity they use geothermal energy to generate electricity and to heat a lot of their sidewalks and a few streets. This means the main road in Reykjavik is always open. It also means that if a drunk passes out on the sidewalk he won't freeze to death.

Oh, by the way, they have a penis museum.

US Fighter Pilots Used as Lab Rats

The problem with this action was that the Air Force, even after their internal investigations and giving Lockheed a $24 million contract to find the problem, was unable to figure out the problem and still sent pilots back into the air.
**************************************************************


It has already been know for years that the composites and adhesives used on all stealth aircraft can be extremely toxic. I worked with sources who were contaminated with toxins while working on the B-2 bomber production line in Lockheed's Burbank production facility. The employees were getting odd illnesses and were diagnosed by their doctors with being poisoned by some type of contaminant. Appallingly, the Air Force would not let the doctors know what the workers were exposed to, claiming all the stealth toxic materials were too classified.
