NEW YORK (AP) — A former manager at the Sept. 11 memorial was fired for raising health and security concerns at one of the most security-conscious places in the world, he said in a lawsuit Friday.

Thomas Cancelliere maintained he was fired from his job as director of the National Sept. 11 Memorial and Museum in retaliation for alerting his bosses to numerous problems.

But a memorial spokesman called Cancelliere's claims untrue and said his firing was the result of bad…

It is time for a perminant global ban on GMOs and for all bio-engineering companies to be closed down and assets sold off to compensate Organic Farmers across the world for the contamination of this bio-weapon by Monsanto, Dupoint, Bayer and others.  The owners, shareholders, the banks who financed them and the politicians who push this Bio-Weapon Crap on the world must be brought to real justice!  All their assets seized and given to the people who became ill or died as a result of the GMO…
