"New claims for unemployment insurance plummeted by 52,000 to 565,000, the Labor Department said Thursday. That's significantly below analysts' expectations of 605,000, according to Thomson Reuters. The last time new claims were below 600,000 was week of Jan. 24."

I just finished watching "1984" for literally probably the 20th time in my life, and for those of you who need to watch it for the first time...or AGAIN...please do so.  We are living in a real-life Fantasyland where "up is down" and "down is up."  People have been so dumbed-down that they are truly helplessly *NOT blissfully* ignorant of what is taking-place around them because the immersion of lies over the decades has been so complete by the "Jesuit-Germanic Death Cult" that even when the TERRIBLE TRUTHS ARE ADMITTED IN A NEWS ARTICLE, they believe that it is GOOD NEWS, because that is how it is presented to the "proles."

I wish to God that I was wrong about what I am seeing, but I am not ever going to lie to myself, and I would NEVER knowingly lie to any of you--there is no point for that.  What happened to Cynthia and the Gaza 21 PROVED that piracy in international waters CAN and DOES occur by nations, and a certain nation NEVER has to fear prosecution or persecution for any crimes that are committed against anyone else.  Where's the media TRUTH?  Where is the general public's OUTRAGE?  See my point?

TAP WATER is said that it is better and safer than BOTTLED WATER.  Batshit insanity for anyone with a brain in their skull, but it is reported in the news as the TRUTH, and sadly millions of people will believe it.  "Choco rations increased by 25%!!!  All praise for Big Brother!"  The reality of the ORIGINAL and TRUE news report, as given to Winston Smith read, "Choco rations decline by 30%" and he edited it to read a 25% INCREASE--and the completely ignorant masses would never know the reality--or admit it openly.

NOW...over half a million MORE people are out-of-work and this is GOOD NEWS!  The markets are opening-up HIGHER!   :lol:  :!:    :shock:

 :|

It breaks my heart to write this, and as always, I could write literally a several-page article if I REALLY wanted to do it, but what is the point?  Honestly...if you or anyone else you know can not see through this BY NOW, then I pity the lot of you.  I never believed that people would accept OUTRIGHT LIES as truth when it was something that we all KNOW to be absurd, but that day has long come-and-gone now.  There is nothing that can be believed any longer coming-from the mainstream media, and yet very few people *as a whole* get their news from "alternative news sources" and, even worse, don't use critical judgement with the information that IS given to them.

I have said what I need to say, but I'll close with this:  For those of you who really don't remember "1984"--watch it again; it will break your heart because we ARE NOW living in that lie-of-a-world in our present time.

For those of you who think that I am wrong in what I am saying...I present to you as follows:

"An Australian town has banned bottled water, claiming to be the first in the country to revert to the tap for the sake of the environment and prompting the nation's largest state government to stop buying bottled water."

It gets even better...

The campaign has spread beyond Bundanoon, prompting the government of New South Wales (NSW), Australia's most populous state, to also look at ways to cut down on bottled water.

"Australian town, state government ban bottled water
 
CANBERRA (Reuters) – An Australian town has banned bottled water, claiming to be the first in the country to revert to the tap for the sake of the environment and prompting the nation's largest state government to stop buying bottled water.

Residents of rural Bundanoon, a picturesque, tourist destination 150 kms (93 miles) southwest of Sydney, voted overwhelmingly Wednesday to rid the town of bottled water to combat the carbon footprint from bottling and transporting it.

Local businesses in the town of 2,500 people have agreed to replace all single-use bottles with reusable bottles that can be filled from water fountains and to bear the loss of sales.

"Bottled water has a role to play in various parts of Australia and many parts of the world but we don't really need it as we have a wonderful municipal water supply," local businessman Huw Kingston, who led the campaign, told Reuters.

"We're not a bunch of raving greenies but this is us showing we can work together as a community for sustainability."

Kingston, who runs a combined cafe and bike shop, said the ban was voluntary, with "no water police in Bundanoon," so it was up to the town's 50 to 60 businesses to implement the change.

He said a catalyst for the campaign was an application by Sydney company Norlex Holdings Pty Ltd to build a local water extraction plant, raising people's awareness of the issue. The application was rejected but an appeal is before the courts.

The campaign has spread beyond Bundanoon, prompting the government of New South Wales (NSW), Australia's most populous state, to also look at ways to cut down on bottled water.

Organizations like conservation group WWF have campaigned against bottled water, saying resources are wasted in bottling and transporting water which may be no safer or healthier than tap water while selling for up to a thousand times the price.

INDUSTRY SAYS TAKES AWAY CONSUMER CHOICE

NSW Premier Nathan Rees this week announced an immediate ban on state departments and agencies buying bottled water.

"Tap water isn't just better for the environment, it's better for your wallet - you can refill your drink bottle 1,350 times for the average cost of a bottle of spring water," Rees said.

Australians spent about $500 million (US$395 million) on bottled water in 2008, a 10 percent increase on 2007.

Environmental group Do Something!, which helped drive a ban on plastic bags in Coles Bay in the state of Tasmania, welcomed the NSW government and Bundanoon bans.

"We are very much hoping that this move will get Australians to rethink the half billion dollars a year that they spend on bottled water," said Do Something! chairman Jon Dee.

But Geoff Parker, director of the Australasian Bottled Water Institute Inc, set up 10 years ago to represent the industry, said the bans were disappointing as they stopped consumer choice and were detrimental to local bottlers and distributors.

"Bottled water does not replace tap water but it does compete with other beverages in the shop fridge or vending machine and the decision to remove quite possibly the healthiest option in this selection does not embrace common sense," he told Reuters.

"The environmental footprint of one bottle of water of locally produced water would be much smaller than a tin of canned tomatoes imported from overseas, some imported cheese, or French champagne. We need to keep it in perspective."
