POPSFraudulent "Smart Choices" food labeling program crumbles As NaturalNews previously reported (http://www.naturalnews.com/027077_n...), the fraudulent Smart Choices food labeling program was being led by a Tufts University dean named Dr. Eileen Kennedy, a woman who continues to insist that sugary breakfast cereals made with 40% sugar, artificial coloring chemicals and partially-hydrogenated oils are really, really healthy for kids! (Eat more!) To paraphrase her view, they're smart choices because they are "better than a donut."

POPSUS Press Freedom Improves At the bottom of the list were Turkmenistan, North Korea and Eritrea "where media are so suppressed they are nonexistent," said Reporters Without Borders. Iran dropped to No. 172 from No. 166, with Reporters Without Borders saying the disputed reelection of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had fostered a paranoia about journalists and bloggers. "Automatic prior censorship, state surveillance of journalists, mistreatment, journalists forced to flee the country, illegal arrests and imprisonment -- such is the state of press freedom this year in Iran," the group said. The ranking was compiled from hundreds of questionnaires completed by journalists and media experts around the world and reflecting press freedom violations that took place between Sept. 1, 2008 and Aug. 31, 2009. The complete ranking can be seen at www.rsf.org/en-classement1003-2009.html Read more at source.

POPSBlack progressives flee to conservative suburbs "The black flight progressives' contradiction leads to cognitive dissonance, or tensions, resulting from simultaneously holding contradictory ideas. The individual must either abandon their old belief, or try to rationalize the dissonance. Like everyone else, black flight progressives want safe streets, quality schools, and a stable environment for themselves and their families. However, instead of holding the liberal Democratic operatives (often black themselves) who control the central city's school board, police department, mayor's office, and other institutions accountable and making adjustments in their vote to secure more desirable outcomes, the black flight progressives flee."

POPSGreenland Glaciers Melting At Shocking Speed I just read a Danish article, that stated that the walls of a 15 square kilometer ice-melt lake have collapsed, causing billions of liters of freshwater to rush into the sea, causing the death of an untold amount of fish, due to decompression sickness, as they were forced to quickly flee to the surface of the fjord, causing their immediate death. I can't seem to find anything about this calamity in English yet, but here's a translated page about this terrible incident; http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=da&u=http://www.dr.dk/Nyheder/Indland/2009/09/12/141735.htm&ei=RdSsSsOeLYXt-Abb-Jy9Bg&sa=X&oi=translate&resnum=1&ct=result&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dhttp://www.dr.dk/Nyheder/Indland/2009/09/12/141735.htm%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DG

POPSComment Response to Glenn Beck's Verbal Attack On a 7-Year Old Girl 5. The only option for victims of white racism is not to flee from it, but turn on it until it is destroyed, no matter how long it takes. I realize that is not an option that pigs lke Beck are willing to entertain, but that's his problem. What Beck Said: BECK: She has told the Westchester Journal News that "white people are devils. And should be gone. We should be away from those devils and we should still be in Africa." I will gladly send you a ticket. You want to go to Africa? I will personally purchase your airfare. I'll do it. It's one-way. You have to sign a contract that you will never return to the United States. Of course, if you go there, remember -- I mean, they seem to be having a problem with the bird flu.

POPSVoice Memories Part of National September 11 Memorial & Museum Inside they'll see the last column that was removed from the site and is now back in place, covered in graffiti and photos of the missing, along with the slurry wall, part of the original structure that survived the collapse. But it will be the images of the attacks - and the stories of the dead, their families and loved ones that will move visitors most. Visitors will be warned about graphic images - people jumping, human remains, planes piercing the towers - and will have a choice of whether to view them. http://makehistory.national911memorial.org/ BY Kerry Wills Read more: http://www.nydailynews.com/ny_local/2009/09/11/2009-09-11_your_voice_can_be_part_of_new_museum.html#ixzz0QnnNaIPN

POPSWildfire evacuees grab pets and Bibles, then flee More: Lewis found himself surprised by his first reaction: He grabbed his Nikon digital camera, remembering his Gila Community College photography teacher’s instructions. “I don’t really know what I was thinking, except that I had to document this."… Finally, he realized he had to stop taking photographs and get out. “So I took my medical records, dog food, camera, laptop, clothes, a box of old photos of my children,” including his son with the head injury sustained in Baghdad and his 32-year-old art teacher daughter.” He also took his Bible and, of course, his two dogs — Karma and Smokey, an interesting combination for canine fire survivors. Later, he realized that he left all of his books and papers and schoolwork. He also left all his materials for the “diet craze” for which he’d signed up. “Left all that stuff behind — don’t know if that’s forethought or afterthought,” he mused.
