After World War II, when most Americans worked in factories and punched time cards, few people worked longer than 40 hours a week. Some professions, like law and medicine, have always expected newcomers to work long hours, but young workers looked forward to more leisure time once they “made it.” Today, almost everyone is working more than 40 hours a week and not getting paid any extra, at a time when workers in Europe are dropping down to 35 or even 30 hours a week, along with a mandated 4 to 6 weeks of vacation. What’s wrong with us?

Global warming is causing the Alps, which are made of rocks held together by permafrost, to collapse. The 5,000-year-old corpse called “Oetzi” was found there in 1991. Now melting ice is turning the mountains into a morgue, revealing the bodies of climbers who died there in modern times.

A Swiss father who has been searching the Alps for 18 years, looking for the body of his missing son who vanished in 1985, has finally discovered a corpse that police think is his son’s climbing companion. They say, “Yesterday (the father) thought it was his son. Today he says it is the friend. I would leave this wide open for the moment?We don’t know if it is the body of his son, his son’s companion or someone else.”

After the Northeastern blackout, we quoted author Greg Palast, who blamed it on NiMo, the merger between Niagara Mohawk and the English company National Grid. Due to recent deregulation, they no longer have to maintain the vast Northeast power grid to earlier standards. Last week, there was a blackout in London, and guess what company controls that power grid? National Grid again.

The London blackout only lasted half an hour, but as in New York, it stranded hundreds of thousands of subway commuters. Network Rail said, “All the services are at a standstill in south London and the south east. There was a complete power failure to all trains and signals out of and into all major London stations.”

Canada is one of the world’s best places to see UFOs, and crop circles regularly turn up there as well. As if to make sure investigators find them all, a circle that formed in one field pointed to a circle that’s been discovered in another wheat field.

Susan Hundertmark writes in the Seaforth Huron Expositor that the Canadian Crop Circle Research Network says that at least two of the three recent circles are not hoaxes. “I haven?t seen the third but the other two weren’t hoaxes,” says Matt Rock of CCCRN. Rock says the second Cranbrook crop circle wasn’t hoaxed because it’s so similar to a circle found recently in Wallacetown. Also, the measurements are incredibly precise. Both the Wallacetown and Cranbrook crop circles are “dumbbell-shaped,” with two connected circles.read more
