"Unfortunately, the FORM Act attempts to increase transparency and accountability through misguided provisions that would expose the Federal Reserve to short-term political pressures," she said. "The bill would severely impair the Federal Reserve's ability to carry out its congressional mandate and would be a grave mistake, detrimental to the economy and the American people."

The White House on Tuesday issued a veto threat for the bill because, it said, the proposal would politicize the Federal Reserve's monetary policy decisions.

The move comes as Los Angeles’ homeless population has multiplied across the region and Southern California is expected to be hit by severe rainstorms and possible flooding from El Niño, which could put unsheltered residents at increased risk.

The City Council also approved what members said were changes to soften a controversial law allowing authorities to seize individuals’ property stored on sidewalks and in alleys, though opponents said the new language continues to criminalize homelessness. It also moved to create a special fund to tackle the problem, examine ways to expand voluntary storage facilities and push for creation of a homelessness czar.

In October, the county Board of Supervisors declared a shelter crisis in anticipation of the storms that will come with El Niño. There are concerns that encampments in storm drains and river beds could be flooded when the powerful storm system hits Southern California. Supervisors also increased the number of winter shelter beds from 600 to 861.

Mr Cameron also described extremism as "an epidemic" in his first speech since the atrocities carried out by Islamic State (ISIS) jihadis in the French capital. The terror attacks, which targeted the Bataclan concert venue, the Stade de France football stadium along with cafes and restaurants, left 129 people dead in total.

Discussing what drives Islamic extremists at the annual Lord Mayor’s Banquet, Mr Cameron said: "Of course, this extremist ideology is not true Islam. That cannot be said clearly enough. But it is not good enough to say simply that Islam is a religion of peace and then to deny any connection between the religion of Islam and the extremists. Why? Because these extremists are self identifying as Muslims."

He first expressed his “deep sorrow for the terrorist attacks that bloodied France late on Friday, causing many casualties,” Breitbart reported. He then called the attacks “an unspeakable affront to human dignity” that shocked the world.

“Such barbarity leaves us shocked and we wonder how the human heart can conceive and carry out such horrible events, which have shaken not only France but the whole world,” the pope said. He also denounced the radical Islamists’ use of God’s name to justify the attacks as “blasphemy,” he said, and reminded of Jesus’ preaching about the end times and the coming “apocalyptic elements, like war, famine and cosmic catastrophes,” he said, Breitbart reported.

And one final word: “In our days, there is no lack of natural and moral disasters, as well as adversities of every kind,” he said, Breitbart reported.

After Friday night's atrocity in the French capital, which left 129 people dead, it emerged one of the suspects behind the Islamic State (ISIS) massacre was believed to have snuck into Europe by posing as a refugee. A Syrian passport was claimed to have been found on the body of a suicide bomber at the Bataclan concert hall, where at least 89 people were killed, amid concerns those responsible for the attack exploited the ongoing migrant crisis.

France shut all its borders on Friday night as the slaughter took place in the country's capital, with concerns since raised about illegal arms trafficking into Europe that could have provided the Paris killers with assault rifles and explosives. An emergency meeting of EU justice and interior ministers has been called for Friday, where France will urge the fast-tracking of continent-wide security measures already under discussion.

However, most significantly, France will also call for the unprecedented postponement of the Schengen Agreement on open borders, it is reported. A source told the Telegraph: "The French are going to push hard for everyone else to institute border controls, particularly Belgium, but across the wider euro area. To all intents and purposes it will be a temporary suspension of Schengen."

President Francois Hollande said vital interests of the French nation are at stake and there can be no further justification for narrowly-legalistic deficit rules imposed by Brussels. “The security pact takes precedence over the stability pact. France is at war,” he told the French parliament. Defence cuts have been cancelled as far out as 2019 as the country prepares to step up its campaign to “eradicate” ISIS, from the Sahel in West Africa, across the Maghreb, to Syria and Iraq.

At least 17,000 people will be recruited to beef up the security apparatus and the interior ministry, fast becoming the nerve centre of the country’s all-encompassing war against the ISIS network. The new forces include 5,000 new police and gendarmes, 1,000 customs officials, and 2,500 prison guards. “I assume it will lead to an increase in expenses,” he said.

He will also call for a "complete rethink" in Western foreign policy following botched military interventions in Syria, Iraq and Libya. Mr Farage's controversial remarks come in a public meeting in Basingstoke, Hants, held as part of his "Say No To EU" national tour. Opinion polls had shown that the British Muslim population was "conflicted" in their loyalties, torn between the country's way of life and institutions against "what elements within their organised faith are telling them", the Ukip leader said.

He will call for more to be done to promote ideals such as equality, decency, tolerance and the rule of law "which are the bedrock of our civilisation". Mr Farage will also call for a new drive to ensure that foreign contributions to British Mosques were made "fully transparent". In particular, the way cash from Saudi Arabia was spent on building faith institutions and educational establishments in Britain should be investigated.

Calling for a foreign policy overhaul, the Ukip leader said the current approach to military intervention in the Middle East had repeatedly failed. Too often, interventions had created greater instability rather than security both for Britain and for people living in Syria, Iraq and Libya.

Huckabee said unlike Obama, he wants to "get caught up in winning" in order to remove the "cancer" that is ISIS. But he believes Obama has become overly concerned about potentially offending Muslims around the world.

"Overwhelmingly, Americans realize that the #1 goal of our government is not to protect the image of Islam. It's to protect American citizens," he said, adding that the jihadists who are "strapping bombs to their bellies" to kill innocent people are Muslims.

"It doesn't mean all Muslims are jihadists, but all the jihadists certainly seem to be Muslim."

It read: “BREAKING: Death toll from Paris terror attack rises to at least 120 with 270 others injured.” Some people were understandably confused about the tweet: It is understandably confusing, with some people demanding answers from both Twitter and world governments.

However, there is actually a simple explanation - the @PZBooks account is a spambot that creates randomly generated headlines using phrases and words tweeted out from the @PZF account. In this case it merged a headline from January about the Charlie Hebdo attacks in Paris with figures from a Nigerian Mosque attack in November last year:

The result is undeniably coincidental - but it seems to be nothing more than that. Twitter has now removed the @PZBooks account.

Scott Terban said supporters of the destructive jhadi extremists are sharing the new web page’s address, which can only be accessed with special software. Anonymous, the fearless cyber activist group, threatened to wipe ISIS off the internet in the wake of the French capital’s night of horror.

The hacking group has published details of at least 5 men it believes are ISIS-linked recruiters and has closed down 5,500 Twitter accounts. The group has also claimed to have identified a 'high-ranking' recruiter living in Europe. But as of yet have not published details of his identity. But this will be much more difficult if the depraved terror group moves to the relatively safe confines of the dark web.

Writing on his blog, Terban said: "Given that this site has popped up today on the dark net just after the attacks in Paris, one has to assume that an all out media blitz is spinning up to capitalise on the situation." The cyber whizz said the fact ISIS has a “real site on the dark net” is “problematic” because all of its videos and files will be stored there.

For example, over the past eight years, we have identified what is essentially a vast, submerged iceberg of overdiagnosed and overtreated medical conditions, with the worst examples being common forms of breast, prostate, thyroid, and ovarian cancer. It was not until 2013 that the issue broke wide open, when a National Cancer Institute commissioned expert panel acknowledged that early-stage or 'stage zero' breast (DCIS) and prostate (HGPIN) "cancers" are actually benign or indolent lesions of epithelial origin and should never have been, and should never be, termed "carcinomas."

Essentially, the NCI report revealed that millions have been wrongly diagnosed and treated for breast and prostate cancers over the past few decades that they never had. In the case of DCIS, about 1.3 million US women were subjected to some combination of either mastectomy, lumpectomy, radiation, and chemotherapy over the past 30 years, even though their screen-detected condition had no symptoms, and left untreated would likely never have caused them any harm.

And this does not even account for the radiobiological harms caused by x-ray mammography, which may have planted the seeds of malignancy into the healthy breasts of millions of women in the name of "prevention through early detection."

The overwhelming evidence points to the single largest common factor in all of these incidents is the fact that all of the perpetrators were either actively taking powerful psychotropic drugs or had been at some point in the immediate past before they committed their crimes.

Multiple credible scientific studies going back more than a decade, as well as internal documents from certain pharmaceutical companies that suppressed the information show that SSRI drugs (Selective Serotonin Re-Uptake Inhibitors) have well known, but unreported side effects, including but not limited to suicide and other violent behavior.

One need only Google relevant key words or phrases to see for themselves. www.ssristories.org is one popular site that has documented over 4500 "Mainstream Media" reported cases from around the world of aberrant or violent behavior by those taking these powerful drugs.

Some analysts accuse Western media of racism. Lebanese observers suggested that perhaps Arab lives mattered less. There is, indeed, probably bias in the coverage. People are more likely to be concerned about victims they can identify with. Research tells us that US media outlets are more likely to cover terrorist attacks with US victims. The news media are more likely to cover disasters in wealthier countries. And tragedies that are physically closer to the United States are more likely to appear in US news.

It’s important to keep two things in mind about how the news media sets its priorities:

First, “news” is generally considered to be something especially unusual. The journalism truism is that “dog bites man” is not a story, but “man bites dog” is. That’s not a judgment on whether dog bites matter; it’s a judgment about what’s surprising.

Second, news outlets are influenced by their consumers. Human beings are especially interested in events that might affect them personally. If the media outlet’s readers or viewers are likely to feel that an event has implications for them, that will be covered as a more important story than if the events are unlikely to touch the audience’s lives.

The Paris attack shocked the world for many reasons. It’s true that terrorism in less-developed countries is worth our attention as well. Crises, such as the Syrian civil war, deserve much more media coverage and policy focus. But the Paris attack continues to draw interest because of the relative rarity of terrorism in France, the fact that the country receives visitors from around the globe, the shocking nature of the attack, and the potential implications for the Islamic State’s future plans.

“With Paris in lockdown and France closing its borders, we can see all too clearly that what is at stake here is the very essence of our way of life in Europe,” said Davis Lewin, the deputy director of the Henry Jackson Society, a conservative think-tank. Designed to facilitate the free movement of goods and labour that is the economic life-blood of the continent, the Schengen system has also enabled the easy transfer of both weapons and, potentially jihadist fighters, across those same borders.

Following the attacks, Francois Hollande, the French President also re-imposed border controls in a bid to ensure that none of the Paris terrorists or their support network in France were able to escape, as occurred after the Charlie Hebdo atrocity. Even before the Paris attacks, Donald Tusk, the EU president, had warned that Europe faced a “race against time” to save the 20-year-old system, which is seen as one of the Union's most concrete achievements.

Continental Europe is reportedly awash with automatic firearms orginiating from the Balkan wars of the 1990s and the collapse of the former Soviet Union. Belgium, a country with a population of 11 million, has around 900,000 firearms in circulation.
