February 24, 2012 Silver Spring, Maryland - The common dolphin is the name given to two species, and possibly a third, of dolphins making up the genus Delphinus. Those species are the short-beaked common dolphin, Delphinus delphis; the long-beaked common dolphin, Delphinus capensis. Some studies suggest a third species, the Arabian common dolphin, D. tropicalis, that has an extremely long and thin beak and is found in the Red Sea and Indian Ocean.

In the third picture is the beam and lightning.”
- Hector Siliezar, on vacation tour near
Kukulkan Pyramid, Chichen Itza, Yucatan
February 21, 2012 Los Angeles, California - In the first week of February 2012, an Earthfiles viewer sent me the photograph above of the Mayan Kukulkan pyramid with a pale pink beam coming out of the top and asked me if I knew the background of the photograph that is displayed in some Mayan-related websites. I contacted my friend and colleague Jaime Maussan in Mexico City, who said it was a real photograph taken on July 24, 2009, by Hector Siliezar on vacation with his wife Glenda Hernadez and their two girls, Stephanie and Destiny. Hector and Glenda were both born in El Salvador, but Hector moved to Los Angeles, California, in 1986 to sell cars and later to work in receiving and shipping for warehouses. By 1990, Glenda joined Hector as a resident, became a bank teller, gave birth to their daughters and the couple married in 2006.

“I have signed this bill despite having serious reservations with certain
provisions that regulate the detention, interrogation, and prosecution of suspected terrorists. ... I want to clarify that my Administration will not authorize the indefinite military detention without trial of American citizens. Indeed, I believe that doing so would break with our most important traditions and values as a Nation. My Administration will interpret section 1021 in a manner that ensures that any detention it authorizes complies with the Constitution, the laws of war, and all other applicable law.”

“By creating GMO crops that can be sprayed with 2,4-D - an ingredient in Agent Orange - if it gets approved for use, they will be drenching the fields, drenching the food with 2,4-D.”
- Jeffrey M. Smith, Ex. Dir., Institute for Responsible Technology
Above: Spraying the whole GMO RoundupReady crop with Monsanto's Roundup (glyphosate) was originally supposed to kill all the weeds while soybeans, corn or other glyphosate-resistant crops would survive. There has been a more than 1900% increase in glyphosate use on RoundupReady soybeans from 1994 to 2006, according to the Center for Food Safety in May 2008. Below: But RoundupReady crops have ironically provoked “frankenstein weeds” that are no longer killed by Roundup glyphosate, but thrive causing even more problems.This graph shows the rising number of known glyphosate-resistant weed species in United States since 1996.
