A federal judge has set bail at $1 million for the chief executive of a labor recruiting company accused of importing and exploiting 400 workers from Thailand. Forty-five-year-old Mordechai Orian, head of Los Angeles-based Global Horizons Manpower Inc., was ordered Wednesday to be held in federal custody until he can raise the money. KITV reports federal prosecutors claim Orian, an Israeli national, is a flight risk. They had sought to keep him in custody until his trial, and they plan to appeal. Orian is accused in what the FBI calls the largest human-trafficking case charged in U.S. history. He was indicted last week on charges that he lured the workers with false promises of ...

As a scientist I'm certain Stephen Hawking is wrong. You can't explain the universe without God [Full Thread]

There's no denying that Stephen Hawking is intellectually bold as well as physically heroic. And in his latest book, the renowned physicist mounts an audacious challenge to the traditional religious belief in the divine creation of the universe. According to Hawking, the laws of physics, not the will of God, provide the real explanation as to how life on Earth came into being. The Big Bang, he argues, was the inevitable consequence of these laws 'because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing.' Unfortunately, while Hawking's argument is being hailed as controversial and ground-breaking, it is hardly new. For years, other ...

Iran has increased its total stockpile of low-enriched uranium by 15 per cent, in spite of the pressure on the country exerted by economic sanctions, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency.In its latest report on the state of Iran’s nuclear programme, the IAEA said the country had produced 2,803kg of uranium enriched to the purity needed to run a nuclear power station.But experts said a stockpile of this size meant that if Iran chose further to enrich this material to the level needed for nuclear weapons, it would be able to build nearly three bombs. However, Iran’s ability to manufacture a nuclear warhead is still unclear and Tehran says that its nuclear programme ...

The 57-year-old Russian Prime Minister appeared to deliberately fan speculation on Monday when he met with foreign academics and journalists at the Black Sea resort of Sochi. When asked whether his potential re-election to the presidency would jeopardise Russia’s political system, Mr Putin likened himself to FDR, the United State’s longest-serving president. “In his day, US President (Franklin) Roosevelt was re-elected four times in a row because this did not contradict the American Constitution. Neither I nor President (Dmitry) Medvedev will do anything that contradicts existing Russian legislation and the country’s basic law,” he said. Mr Putin stood down from ...

Dangerous Economic Misconceptions Giordano BrunoNeithercorp Press September 7, 2010 For many years, economics in the U.S. has been approached with a ‘game show’ mentality.

DOHA (AFP) – Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad ruled out an attack on the Islamic republic over its nuclear programme, during a visit to Qatar on Sunday, because any such action would result in Israel's destruction. "Any act against Iran will lead to the eradication of the Zionist entity," he told a joint news conference in Doha with Qatar's emir, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani, after their talks. Israel, the region's sole if undeclared nuclear power, has not ruled out a military strike to prevent Iran acquiring an atomic weapons capability, an ambition its arch-foe Tehran strongly denies.

KABUL—The top U.S. commander in Afghanistan said the planned burning of Qurans on Sept. 11 by a Florida church could put the lives of American troops in danger and damage the war effort. Gen. David Petraeus said the Taliban would exploit the demonstration for propaganda purposes, drumming up anger toward the U.S. and making it harder for allied troops to carry out their mission of protecting Afghan civilians. "It could endanger troops and it could endanger the overall effort," Gen. Petraeus said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal. "It is precisely the kind of action the Taliban uses and could cause significant problems. Not just here, but everywhere in the ...

Tony Blair had eggs and shoes hurled at him by protesters as he signed copies of his new memoirs yesterday. The former Prime Minister was met by 200 demonstrators booing and chanting he had "blood on his hands" over Iraq and Afghanistan as he promoted A Journey in Dublin. One protester, Donal MacFhearraigh, said: "Blair took the world to war on the basis of lies." Mr Blair's advisers had hoped he would get a hero's welcome in the Irish capital because of his role in helping to broker the 1998 Good Friday peace agreement in Northern Ireland. There was a large police presence and O'Connell Street was closed to traffic. About 400 customers turned up at ...

The fighting killed 12 people and wounded dozens. It was the first exchange of fire involving U.S. troops in Baghdad since the Aug. 31 deadline for formally ending the combat mission, and it showed that American troops remaining in the country are still being drawn into the fighting.

Arabs claim police refuse to hear their complaints, fail to reign in 'settler' violence. Exactly a year ago, near the City of David excavation site in east Jerusalem's Silwan neighborhood, a resident of the Jewish Quarter shot Ahmad Kar'in in the knee with an IDF assault rifle. The Jewish man left Kar'in to bleed on the road, shot a 15-year-old boy who passed by on his bicycle, and then returned to shoot Kar'in in the other knee. The case against the Jewish man was closed due to "lack of evidence". Kar'in is walking on crutches ...

The United Kingdom's top law enforcement official has taken possession of secret files surrounding the death of a prominent WMD researcher who was found dead in the months after the invasion of Iraq. David Kelly, once employed by the British Defense Ministry, was a former UN weapons inspector who had been previously deployed to Iraq. He was found dead in July 2003 about a mile from his home, having ingested more than two dozen pain-killers and with a cut in his left wrist. A "Blue Ribbon" inquiry ruled the death a suicide, but skeptics -- including several prominent doctors and coroners -- challenged the inquiry's conclusion. They said Kelly could not have taken his own ...

JERUSALEM (AP) -- A new book claims renowned Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal worked for Israel's Mossad spy agency, providing information on war criminals and Germans working in Arab countries. The assertions in "Wiesenthal - The Life and Legends" shed a different light on the Holocaust survivor previously believed to have conducted a lone quest to bring war criminals, such as top Nazi Adolf Eichmann, to justice. "(It) is quite surprising in the context of his own story, because he was always regarded as a loner, someone who does everything alone against all odds and against local law enforcement," the book's author, Israeli historian Tom Segev, said.

What does a country need to do to make a success of the euro? The European Commission and the European Central Bank would say the recipe is simple: Cut your budget deficit, slash wages, keep taxes competitive, boost your exports, and live with austerity. There is just one problem: Ireland has been following precisely that formula and it hasn’t done much good. The government is being squeezed at a time when the cost of bank bailouts is soaring. Blame it on the banks. If there is one country that proves what a mess the single currency has become, it isn’t Greece, or even Spain or Portugal. It’s Ireland. When countries break the rules and then get into trouble, it isn’t ...

WASHINGTON, D.C. - A U.S. government official said the FBI's investigation of two men detained in Amsterdam is finding that it is unlikely they were on a test run for a future terror attack, even as Dutch authorities continued to hold the pair on suspicion of conspiring to commit a terrorist act. The U.S. official said the two men arrested in Amsterdam did not know each other and were not travelling together. The official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the investigation, says both men missed flights to Washington from Chicago, and United Airlines then booked them on the same flight to Amsterdam. Another U.S. official, who also spoke on condition of anonymity, said ...

Iran is withdrawing its assets from Europe as a precaution against a possible EU decision to freeze them, the governor of the Central Bank of Iran said.

Russian submarines are hunting down British Vanguard boats in a return to Cold War tactics not seen for 25 years, British Navy chiefs have warned.

British submariners have also reported that they are experiencing the highest number of "contacts" with Russian submarines since 1987. If the Russians are able to obtain a recording of the unique noise of the boat's propellers it would have serious implications for Britain's nuclear deterrent. Using its sophisticated ...
