Civilian and military aviation organizations said Tuesday the source of the strange red lights spotted over Phoenix Monday night remained unknown. An official with the North American Aerospace Defense Command, which monitors the skies for security threats, said Tuesday the organization did not know where the lights came from.

Ian Gregor, a spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration said that though air traffic controllers at Sky Harbor Airport witnessed the lights, they do not know the cause. Nothing appeared on radar and Gregor said the FAA will not be investigating.

“There's nothing to look into,” Gregor said. Several Valley residents reported seeing strange red lights in the sky on Monday night .

Arizona Republic reporter Anne Ryman, who lives in Deer Valley, reported seeing four lights in a square shape that eventually became a triangular shape. The lights were moving to the east and they disappeared one by one. She said the lights were visible for about 13 minutes at about 8 p.m..

One north Phoenix resident, who wished to remain anonymous, said he saw four or five red lights lined up in a straight line and spaced apart evenly. The lights slowly moved east and became dimmer as the witness watched. He said the last light remained in the sky the longest. Then three jets came from the west and traveled in the direction of the red lights.

An official from Luke Air Force Base stated that they did not have any aircraft in the sky Monday night and that the lights were not part of any Air Force activities.

The Deer Valley airport officials said that the lights were not from any aircraft at that airport.

Ian Gregor, a spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration said that air traffic controllers at Sky Harbor Airport also witnessed the lights, but they do not know the cause.

The incident is similar to the "Phoenix Lights" seen on March 13, 1997. Thousands of residents reported seeing a mile-wide, v-shaped formation of lights over the Valley. In that case the lights appeared about 7:30 p.m. and lasted until 10:30 p.m.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

WASHINGTON -- Yesterday, the New York Times exposed a secret Pentagon effort to spread favorable views of the war by recruiting and planting military analysts in the nation's news media. These pundits became fixtures of war coverage on most major network, cable, radio and print news outlets without disclosing their considerable conflicts of interest in their own work as consultants, lobbyists and contractors for military interests.

Free Press Executive Director Josh Silver issued the following statement:

"Government-sanctioned propaganda violates every conceivable standard of journalism. That it has been allowed to continue unquestioned and undisclosed for years is an indictment of both this White House and a docile American media. An administration secretly using the press to force a pro-war agenda on the public is not a partisan issue. Free Press is calling on Congress to investigate the military pundits and their ties to the Bush administration, defense contractors and our national news media. It's time the truth about the selling of this war came out."

I'm coming down fast - but I'm miles above you.

OK so it's late Monday night, but it's not too early to sum up the week, right?

Tuesday - the dollar falls more, the stock market takes a big hit.

Wednesday - Qatar and UAE announce their upcoming change from the Dollar to the Euro for pricing oil.

Thursday - Venezuela follows suit.

Friday - The President addresses the Nation saying "ok we might be heading toward a recession but the stimulus plan should work" ... yeah right when we already know we are currently in a recession already heading for a depression.

This Weekend - you'll plant a garden.

Hey I saw this video and this guy makes a lot of sense, I figured I would share with those who haven't seen it.

Ron Paul - the alleged "do nothing" candidate again addresses Congress and forewarns of economic disaster. March 12, 2008.

I've been watching the progress of this bill that looks to be another one
of those "must pass" bills, and they even went so far as to include a "Myths
and Facts" explanation at some point, contradicting the contents of the
law, much like the Myths and Facts page of the SPP contradict the wording and
goals of the North American Union.

Right below this horrific bill is a section called "Votes on Passage" and is
why I love this site for what it offers. When you view votes, you can see
who in your state voted for it, and those who voted against it, and those
not present because they were either campaigning or not available.

What makes this bill truly dangerous, besides the obvious, to be identified
and targeted for what we think about doing and standing for, is the broad
based blanket statement on the reasoning for this bill right under the
title. "To prevent homegrown terrorism, and for other purposes." The last
four of those words in that statement would literally give the Department of
Homeland Security unlimited power over the American population even more so
than they have even now, which I thought wasn't possible.

"and for other purposes" shouldn't be allowed in ANY law what so ever, as
each law should have a clear and binding definition over what it does, and
not left to subjective determination by whomever sees fit to bend the law to
their own agenda.

Here is an article written in January of 2008 in response to this bill, and
by the way, is 100 percent spot on.

This bill targets people like us, and if it gets passed into law, the final
nail in the coffin for our Freedoms will be hammered in. Spread the word, I
would reccomend opposing this bill to your represenatives in letters or
calls to their offices in your respective states. While I feel that
opposing it wouldn't matter much, it would get shoved down our throats
anyways like they did the renewing of the Patriot Act, we might as well get
our say in while we can, before we get put on the TALON (Threat And Local
Observation List) ourselves.

Stormtroopers Get A New Look
The Stormtroopers for the United Nations Empire got a new look this

month as they prepare to conquer any rebellion forces that may interfere with the plans of the Emperor. The Emperor met with the U.N.E. Security Council today to inspect the new armor and was most pleased with the results and expects the troops will be ready for battle as the preparations are going well and on time.

When remarked if the six pack on the suits were necessary, the Emperor swiftly had the heckler removed from the premises to be later dealt with at a future time.

McCain and Romney Battle For Top Spot

Sen. John McCain said Wednesday that he will bring the Republican Party together to win the presidency. "We will unite the Empire behind our conservative principles and move forward and win the general election in November," the Arizona senator said the day after significantly padding his lead over rival Mitt Romney.

Standing in front of his "Straight Talk Express" bus, flanked by the man he has called his "favorite Democrat," independent Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut, and Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-South Carolina, McCain said he was "pleased at the depth and breadth of our victory last night."

Romney, who did not have any public events scheduled for Wednesday, was planning to huddle with his aides to discuss a strategy to stay in the race.

Despite outspending his rivals he received just 176 delegates from Super Tuesday, compared with at least 568 for McCain.

"One thing that's clear -- this Campaign's going on, the force is strong in this one" Romney said Tuesday. "I think there's some people who thought that it was all going to be done tonight, but it's not all done tonight. We're going to keep on battling."

The Republican contest now shifts to Louisiana and Washington, where the candidates will race to stuff ballot boxes on Saturday, followed by ballot stuffing in Maryland, Virginia and Washington D.C. next Tuesday.
