| Ahram! Akhbar Gomhuria!
Instead, the PA has spent the last 18 months mulling over tougher legislation governing reporters' work.) While El-Qot is sharply critical of the free-wheeling tactics of what many in media derisively call the ‘yellow press,' he is adamant that the government won't get a free ride from Akhbar Al-Yom. The weekly will be as critical of the powers that be as the opposition press, but held to a higher standard of proof. “Akhbar Al-Yom is a paper for all Egyptians, and it will not be the mouthpiece of the NDP or of any other political party. It will be the mouthpiece of Egyptian nationalism and the Egyptian citizen I am undertaking that pledge," promises El-Qot. “There is no limit on freedom at Akhbar Al-Yom [but] I do not want vulgarity in my paper," says El-Qot. “If a journalist has documents [incriminating] any official in Egypt, I will publish them.
Thousands Exposed to Poison by Government's Aerial Spraying
(NewsTarget) Sometimes bad dreams do come true. My bad dream was that the government issued quarantine, and forced everybody to be vaccinated for some fake disease. In my dream, I took my family, and fled to the hills to avoid being vaccinated.
Now, nine months later, this dream has come true. In an emergency, I relinquished my rental contract and moved my pregnant partner and three and a half year old daughter out of Santa Cruz, CA, to avoid being exposed to potentially deadly chemicals.
The chemicals, known by their trade names as Checkmate OLR-F and Checkmate LBAM-F, have been sprayed via state owned airplanes in September and October in Monterey County California. These same aerial chemicals, despite their known health risks, were sprayed on two nights (11-8, 11-9) over the people of Santa Cruz County.

Under the sustainable investment rule, public-sector debt must be no more than 40 per cent of British economic output or GDP. Though Mr Brown has frequently been accused of creative accounting to prevent the rule being broken, the ratio has always been below 40 per cent under his tenure – and is currently forecast to be 38 per cent in April. But if Northern Rock were nationalised, all the troubled bank's liabilities, minus its liquid assets, would come on to the public sector balance sheet.
